BIG FISH HATCHERY
Important Project May Be EStab-
liShed In Utah.
AT A COST OF $4,000
SENATOR RAWLINS AND WAR
DEN SHARP AT WORK.
Appropriation From Congress Will
Be Needed-Claimed That Con-
ditions Here Are Better Than
Anywhere Else In the United
States-Promoters Are Confident.

A United States fish hatchery for
Utah is a certainty for the immediate
future if the earnest efforts of enthusi-
astic and determined men can make it
such. Fish Warden John Sharp is
working for this with all the energy he
can muster and, in his efforts he is re-
ceiving the hearty cooperation of Sen
ator Rawlins. To make 1t success IL
will be necessary to secure an appro-
priation from congress of at least
$4,000, and as no one can ever tell
what congress will do, they can make
no definite promises to the people or
the state.
1t is claimed that there is no place
in the United States where such an in
stitution would show better results
than in Utah. The streams and lakes
of fresh water offer home for large
variety of fish and as the benefits
would not be confined to Utah, but
would extend to all this inter-moun-
tain country, the advocates of the en-
terprise feel that they are entitled to
the cooperation of the general govern
ment They are confident, too, that
they will secure this when the matter
is presented in. the proper light at
Washington.
Mr.. Sharp has considered Springville
in this connection and believes that 1t
would furnish an ideal place for the
experiment if the temperature of the
waters could be somewhat reduced. 1t
is now 30 degrees, which is too high for
successful fish breeding.
This project is distinct and separate
from the state hatchery which Warden
Sharp is trying to locate. Lately ne
has been considering the Woodruff pro-
position south of town and out at
Provo, but finds the price too high in
each instance He is now distributing
the 10000 grayling eggs brought from
the north, being DESTROYS of trying
them in different parts of the state. The
grayling, he says, is a fine game fish.
1t is a cross between the trout and the
white fish, it grows to weight of from
two to four pounds and natures very
quickly.

UINTAH VALUATIONS.
Board Making Strong Effort to
Equalize Them.
Especial Correspondence.,


Vernal. June 1.-THE county board OF
equalization has been occupied all week
in going over the tax rolls. Owing to no
canvass of the valuations having been
made for the last several years, the board
is making a very thorough job OF the
business, in order to deal out exact JUS

tention is with the merchants, VINO are
making a united effort for a reductlon
from the assessors figures.
An examination of the rolls from lss2 10

on merchandise have been steadily gong
down during that period, and evidently
the merchants want the thing to continue,

VERDICT FOR THE DEFENDANT
PEREMPTORY INSTRUCTION IN
LEVY VS.. A. w. M'CUNE.
Outcome Justifies Statement Made
That 1t Was An Attempt to Hold
Up a Senatorial Candidate.

The suit of William Levy against a.
w. McCune was dismissed in the Unit
ed States court yesterday morning.
Neither the plaintiff nor his attorneys
appeared, and Judge Marshall, after e.
B. Critchlow for the defense had agreed
to let four jurors hear the case, per-
emptorily instructed them to return a
verdict for the defendant. This action
was considered proper because no evil
dence was introduced for the plaintiff.
The four jurors were P. ]. Moran, E..
Jenkins, J. Mcknight and E. B. Wicks.
The outcome of the suit bears out the
statements made by Mr.. McCune and
his friends that it was brought for
purposes of eXtortion. 1t will be re-
membered that the action was filed
during the heat of the senatorial con-
test, and that it was based on an al
legged gambling proposition. Attorney
Critchlow said he was not surprised at
the result, as he had been unofficially
informed that no attempt would be
made to press the matter in court. He
believed the sole purpose of the suit
was to embarass Mr.. McCune in his
race for the Senatorship.

ALL HALLONS GROWS
Catholic College May Be Moved This
Year.
MORE ROOM IS NEEDED
NEW BUILDINGS ON THE EAST
BENCH.
President Larkin Is Now Considering
Plans-Students Must Be Turned
Away Next Year Unless Larger
Quarters Are Secured-New Teach
ers From Catholic University.

1t has just leaked out that Rev.
Thomas j. Larkin, president of All
Hallows college, is wrestling with plans
for new buildings and a change of To-
cation for his institution. Last fall
Father Larkin secured title to forty
acres of ground on the east bench, be-
tween Fifteenth and Seventeenth East
and south of Ninth South street. This
was bought as a future site for All
Hallows. Since then Father Larkin
and his advisers have been planning.
and now necessity comes TO spur them
to greater efforts.
The capacity of their present build
ing on Second South has been reached
and applications for admission next fall
must be turned down. This has forced
the question of more room to the
front. The plan that meets with great
est favor is the erection of a building
for the college on the east bench and
retaining the present building for a
day school.
Father Larbin, in conversation yes
terday, spoke with great enthusiasm of
his future plans for the school. He has
caught the spirit of advance, and pro-
poses TO be at least abreast of the pro-
ceSsion. A diploma from All HallowS
admits the holder now TO Johns Hop
kins and similar universities. but it is
the purpose to make the course still
stronger and more comprehensive. New
teachers from the Catholic university
at Washington will be added next year,
and this in itself will make more room
necessary.
1t is Father Larlkins opinion that he
will be forced to build this fall. The
lack of available funds to erect the
class of buildings he desires is the only
thing that deters him from beginning

absolute faith that the funds will be

of property going to ruin. Mr.. Nc
Cune said that that camp presented a
dismal-,Coking sight The new hoist
on No. has never turned wheel. Mr..
McCune Is of the opinion that as soon
as a railroad builds into Phoebe the
properties there will pay dividends.
The trip over the old grade was not
so pleasant. as the party was required
to ride horseback over a rough country
for distance OF twenty miles. They
found the grade in a pretty dilapidated
condition in various places. In Glover
canyon it is especially bad-the
mouths of the tunnels have caved in
and it will take considerable money
to make repairs. He estimates the
cost at $4,000 per mile. 1t will also be
necessary to build four or five bridges
or trestles in every mile for thirty
miles.
A. W. McCune. jr., and r. C. Lund
did not return with the party, but
went on to De Lamar to examine some
mining properties
