Whether or not the new census shall
be TUNED over to the spolls hunters, or
placed under civil service rules depends
upon the Republican members of the SEN
ate's census committee. These Republican
members are, Carter OF Montana, Plat
of New York, Hale of Maine, Fairbanks
Of Indiapa and Cannon of Utah. Glanc-
ing at the list, 1t would seem that civil

1t may be that there are already ordi-
nanceo enough on the books to cover the
case of the dogs or that new legis.a
ton is needed; but, however that
may be, the unalterable facts are that
there are too many dogs on the street,
that they are nuisances, and that they
ought to go. A dog that is worth having
is worth taking care of and paying tax
on. More power to the whip-hand of the
alderman who attempts to lash the dogs
off the streets!

In the charter is a novel provision re-

is much that may be said in favor of the

Song" It is Frank L. Stanton's latest
book Of poems. The spirit OF the little book

And over the rage of the people the skies
See the light of a lovelier morning arise
There are prayers on Loves lips, and light
in Loves eyes:
Comes one with song.

He was driving over from Hyrum last
night with Mrs. Jane Nielsen, who de-

here on the IL O'Clock train. Just be-
fore reaching the city limits he collided
with rig driven by Simpson, who was
also accompanied by a lady. The solli-
sion damaged both vehicles. but the
strangers suffered most. Some talk
ensued, and then Wedding, who had
temporarily repaired his rig, drove up

worse for liquor, to bring another bug

EXPENSES OF RECRUITS.
Denver Officer Explains the Policy of
the Government.
Especial to The Nerald.)

Denver, Colo, July 12.-With refer
ence to the report from Utah that the
candidates for enlistment in the Thirty
fourth United States regiment We're
complaining because of the expense at
tached to making the visit to the Den
yer recruiting station, Lieutenant Ryan
said yesterday that Fort Douglas had
been designated as the recruiting sta
ton for Utah; in fact, he said, any
military post was authorized to receive
enlistments, there being an officer de-
tailed at each Of them for this purpose.
Speaking of the fact that the candi-
dates have to pay for their own trans
portation, Lieutenant Ryan said:
The government is wise in not pay
ing the travelling expenses of those who
are merely seeking to be examined, for
their fitness for the service can not be
determined until they appeared be-
fore an examiner. If their expenses
were paid the government might easily
be imposed upon by those who know
they are unfit and are merely seeking
transportation. After the men have
enlisted their expenses are paid. If they
enlist at Fort Douglas and take the
oath there. they will be given transpor-
tation to Fort Logan"

were a sea of water. The flashes of

caught their brides and retied them to

.UTAH'S OUTPUT OF COPPER
SLIGHT DECREASE FROM THE
PRODUCTION OF 1897
Arizona Leads In the Increase While
Montana Fell Off Considerably
Many New Properties.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, July 1.-THE report of
the geological survey in the production
of copper for 1898 shows Utah's output
aggregated 3,750,OOO pounds, slight de-
crease from the output for 1897. Idaho
produced 1,266,92O pounds as against
1927 pounds in 1897 and Wyoming
produced 233,044 pounds.
The production of the United States
in the year was 526,375,591 pounds,
which is by far the largest production
ever reported. The increased produc-
ton of copper was largest in Arizona,
while the lake district also recorded
an advance Montana fell off consid-
erably.
The growing demand for this mineral
has led to the development of many
new properties. says the report, and the
output for 1899 will probably be far
in advance of that for the last calendar
year. The price of the commodity.
which reached a high point of 127s
cents per pound in 1898, will also show
a decided increase.
