col. L. N. TRAMMELL.

;ef. Il. n. Trammell, Chairman
VI the State Railroad Commission
retently sprung surprise to the
| representatives of the principal
railroads when he demanded q re-
duction of railroad rates on The
transportation ofcotton. His ar
gument to back his suggestions
was SO strong and unanswerable
that they asked for further time
to consider, and the 9th inst.
was set as the day for hearing.
Col. Trammell submitted a prop
osition that the rate be cut 25
per cent up to 25 miles, 20 per
cent from that up to so miles,
and from 10 to Is per cent up to a
hundred miles, rates for greater
distances to remain the same.
This knocked out the arguments
about crippling home factories to
the benefit of the eastern mills
and distributing rates in other
portions of the south OH cotton
through the ports, since there is
no cotton factory i'll Georgia with
in 400 miles of Georgia port,
and since the principal points of
concentration and shipment are
more than that distance from the
coast.
Chairman Trammell showed
that the farmer was making more
cotton and getting less for it than
ever, and the more cotton made
the more freight was handled in
cotton, cotton seed, bulls, meal
and oil, and all THESE showed that
without the products of the farm
er the roads would be run at a
loss, whereas they were sustained
by undiminished freight rates
while the farmer was growing
poorer all the time. That as the
price of cotton decreased, the rate
OF transportation should decrease.
The argument of Col. Taammell
was one of the ablest and strong
est that could possibly be present.
ed and stamps him as one of the
ablest men in Georgia, with dis
position to do right, and admin

tant office in Justice and equity to
all. He should be sustained by
the people in this contest for the
right adjustment of the rates. We
are sure the farmers will thank
him for the efforts he is making
in their behalf.

SHEEPMEA WILL TAKE ACTION
WANT THE FOREST RESERVE
ORDER REsCINDED.
Mass-meeting of Utah and Wyoming
Sheep-owners to Be Held-Dele-
gates Will Go to Washington.

The sheepmen of Utah and western
Wyoming have decided to make a con-
centrated move with the object in view
Of trying to induce the government to
rescind its order prohibiting the graz
ing of sheep on the Uintah reservation.
a meeting of the executive commit
tee CT the Utah Woolgrowers' associa-
ton will take place next Saturday af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock at the office of W.
l.. Pickard in the Atlas block. The
members of this committee are E. II.
Callister and W l.. Pickard of this city.
]. c. Mackay, W. II. Haigh and Henry
Harker of Taylorsville. Jesse NJ. Smith
of Layton and J. $. Houtz of Ogden.
AT this meeting the question will be
discussed and mass-meeting of Utah
and western Wyoming sheepmen called,
which will be held in this city some
time during the latter part of this
month or the first part of June. The
meeting is to be one of sheeDmen in
general, and not confined to members
of the association. That Organization
is merely taking the affair in charge.
The sheepmen argue that it is unrea-
sonable and profitless on the part of
the government to keep sheep out of
the reservation, and the enforcement
of the order means very serious in
jury not only to Sheep-ownerS, but to
stockmen in general all over Utah and
Wyoming. The sheep Craze on nothing
but those parts of the forest where
there is underbruSh, thus, instead of
damaging the timber, being of much
benefit, clearing the way for the
spreading of forest fires. The reserva-
ton is productive of no revenue to the
government and of much benefit to the
stockmen. If the order is enforced the
sheep Will have to seek the lowlands

his sentence very greatly, for 1t is not
by any means the first time he mas

that effect was reached on MONDAY
when Grice pleaded guilty to burglary.
Grice claims to be an Englishrhan,
and says he was in the English army
for some time. He likewise asserts
that he was awarded the Victoria Cross
for bravery. He was taken to the penl-

USE FOR JUBILEE FLOATS.
Manufacturers and Merchants May
Use Them at the Fair.

A plan has been suggested, which if
carried out, will result in a practical
utilization of the floats used during the
Pioneer Jubilee These were turned
over during the winter to the Pioneer
Monument fund, and are now stored
in the exposition building at the state
fair grounds. The ID. y. and NJ. Soci-
ETY. has in contemplation the setting
aside of one day during the fair this
fall as Manufacturers day and if this
is done the manufacturers and mer-
chants will be invited to give a pub
lie parade. The idea is to dispose of
the floats to those who would like to
be represented in this parade. This
would be as cheap a way as any for
the merchants to provide for them
selves proper representation. The So
ciety proposes that after the parade
has been carried out the merchants
may further use the floats during the
exposition by lining them up on either
side of the walk from the west gate to
the entrance of the exposition build
ing. which space will be reserved for
that purpose.

SMALLPOX In Kansas City.

Kansas City, May 17.-Smallpox has
spread to the city hospital, and today
it was decided not to admit any other
patients to the place until the disease
is stamped out. The disease gained a
footing by the admission of a patient
supposed to have another affection. OF
twenty-five other sick people in the
ward when the smallpox was discov-
cred, three contracted the disease. They
were today removed to st. George hos
pital on the river bank, where there
are now eleven cases of smallpox.

Cherry's court yesterday. John w.

shareholder in it, and that he was
entitled to a certain amount of water
from its ditch, but that he had drawn
water from the ditch from above the
headgate used by the other stockhold-
ers, and had taken more than his share.
