KIMBERLEY.
How 1t Came Into England's Possess
sion.

Mr.. Froude was an apostle OF expan-
sion Of England, yet in lecture which
he delivered In Edinburgh in 1850, says
the New York Post, he told some very
unpleasant truths about the way the
English had wronged the Dutch in
South Africa. In particular did he d.
late upon the manner in which Kim
berley with It's diamond mines, became
British possession. The reasoning
was, In brief"No state but England
could be allowed to possess the finest
diamond mine In the world" Great Brit
ain had abandoned the Orange river
territory because it was thought use
less. BY the treaty Of Aliwal, signed
with the Dutch in 1862 England pledged
herself to interfere no further north
Of the Orange river. But the ink was
scarcely dry on the document when the
Kimberley mines were discovered, and
that altered the case entirely. The
diamonds stirred the consciences Of the
English authorities. They found that
the Kimberley region really belonged
to a Griqua chief, not at all to the
Dutch; so they preceded TO take It
away from the Free State in order to

STREET SPRINKLING.
New System Will Go Into Effect On
Monday


The city's twenty-five sprinkling
carts arrived by special train over the
Rio Grande Western last night from
Studebaker's factory, and on Monday
morning they will be put into service.
Chairman Patrick of the city council
committee on street sprinkling prom
ises efficient and satisfactory work at
less cost than by the contract system,
and if the men whose teams have been
hired to perform the duty cannot do
the work, others in waiting will be en-
gagged. The carts cost $345 each, laid
down.
Pursuant to the authority given him.
Street Supervisor Seldom has appointed
James C. Lambert inspector of sprink-
ling, and has selected teams and drivers
from the following, who passed muster
last Tuesday:
First Precincts. E. Allen, Thomas
Pferpont, J. D. Fl. McAllister, Stephen
Kuntz, ]. L. Barrow.
Second Precinct. G. Cleveland. G..
G. Smith. John Balmforth. j. C. Wat
son, David Heaps.
Third Precinct.-W. Harmon, James
Read, w. Crowther, John Timpson, j.

Fourth Precinct.-John Axtou, G..
Parrot, Il. Snowfall, j. Peacock, Paul
Barton.
Fifth Precinct.-H. Anderson, w. C.
Wahlquist. John Hudson, T. Spiking,
G. Morris.
1t is still an open question whether
advertising signs will be painted on the
carts. The. highest bid yet received for
the privilege is $500 for this season and
next. but several members of the
council believe the city should not, even
for that sum, enter into the adyertis-
ing business.

of public works may be done under
contract, while, if done under the su-
perintendent of waterWorkS, it must be
by days work.
Two causes of action are specified in
the complaint. In the first it is alleged
that the city council, on April 20, or
dered the construction of 112 feet of pile
bridge, at an approximate cost of $1,000,
across the Jordan river at Ninth North
street, and that, disregarding the pro-
visions of the statutes of Utah making
it the duty of the board of public works
to contract for and superintend the
construction of such bridge, have in
structed the city engineer to construct
it by purchasing material and employ
ing labor by days work. This system
of doing the work will, according to the
complaint cost the city $500 more than
if the work We're done under the super
vision of the board of public works.
In the second cause of action it is al
legged that the city council on April IL
ordered the construction of 2,40O feet of
16-inch wooden pipe, connecting Par
leys canyon conduit with the water
system of the city, also the construction
of 1850 feet of thirty-inch wooden pipe
in City Creek canyon; also the taking
up of 5000 feet of castiron pipe and re-
laying it in connection with the new
thirty-inch wooden pipe, and also the
laying of 10000 feet of new castiron
pipe in the city; all of this work to be
done at an estimated cost of S33, 1000. 1t
states that this work is being done by
authority of the city council, under the
direction of John 7. Game, superintend-
ent of waterworks. 1t should be done,
says the complaint, under the direction
of competent engineer, and this Mr..
Game is not, but is utterly incompetent
to do the work properly. AS it is now
being done, the work will cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 more than if done under
the supervision of the board of public
works.
The complaint prays that the city
council and mayor be enjoined from al
lowing the work on the bridge or the
pipe lines to go on except under the di-
rection of the board of public works.
Owing to the absence of Judge Hiles
in Ogden, the temporary restraining or
der asked for was not obtained yester-
day, but it will be applied for on Mon
day.
Stephens & Smith are attorneys for
the plaintiffs.

L. A. W DEFENDED.
League Member Stands Up For the
Organization.

A loval adherent of the L. A. w.
takes exceptions to The Herald's pre-
sentation of the league situation in the
west, published last week.
The L. a. W. he says, was organ
lied to promote the general interests
of cycling, to ascertain, defend and
protect the rights of wheelmen; to Sc
cure Improvement in the condition of
the public roads and highways by pro
noting in the public mind a sense of
the utility, general economy and de-
STABILITY of high-class roads, and per-
suading legislators to make laws and
provide money TO create better high
ways"
1t was not a racing organization.
and the only mistake it has been guilty
OF Was in permitting its jurisdiction TO
cover professional racing. After some
years of this the majority of the re-
spectacle membership is heartily glad
that there is a prospect of this sport
ing element dropping away from it.
But it is misleading to quote this as
an evidence that the league is disin-
tegratinS. As a matter of fact the
members of the league no matter
where situated, who understand the
broad objects of the greatest good to
the greatest number for which the
league was formed, are only standing
the nrmer with the main body of re-
spectability. They are not going to be
thrown off their feet because mayhap
some impecunious professional has a
grievance because the league will not
give its sanction to Sunday racing.
suppose a member quits the league
simply for the above reason, he loses
the benefit quitting the matter in a
mercenary iShD of many advantages,
such as road books, maps, hand books.
etc, prepared for members all over the
United States; loses the services of the
consul in every city he may visit, often
where the companionship of a fellow
member would be of much benefit and
pleasure; loses the benefit of reduced
repair rates given by the league repair
shops: and should be wish to go into
Canada, his membership in the league
permits him to go without having to

There are many other and more i'm
