LAYING FOR THE COUNTY SEAT
PLAN TO MAKE NEW TOWN
CAPITAL OF UINTAH COUNTY.
Townsite Plated, But not Yet Chris
tened-Ashley Valley Friends OF
Vernal Alarmed.
(speeiaI Correspondenee.l


Price. April 15.-Some of the people of
Ashley valley are more or less worried
because of the fact that they have the
impression the county seat of Uintah
county may one Of these days be moved
elsewhere. Readers of The Herald will
remember the announcement a short time
Salt Lake and associates had begun work
on canal which would, under the resolu-
ton of Senator Rawlins, use the surplus
waters of the Uintah reservation. This
canal is nine miles in length. and viii
bring under cultivation some 10000 acres
of land lying some thirty-five miles south
west of VernaL Work on this enterprise,
which is now well under way, will cost
in the neighborhood of $50 0eQ and is in
charge of w. D. Shill.
About $50 families win be brought out
from Salt Lake City, and when all the
land is under ditch there will be more peo-
pie in this section than there are in the
Ashley valley. Some of the men interested
in the enterprise have given it out that
they are to lay out a toWnsite,' and pro-
pose to have in time the seat of govern
ment. There are some 5000 people in the
Ashley valley, and it will be readily seen
that it would not take a great amount of
immigration to hold the voting majority.
On such proposition the residents OF the
western end of Uintah county might be
expected to vote with the Walker crowd.
No little stir has been created over there,
and considerable figuring has been in
dulged in over the proposition. Already
one or two business firms at Vernal are
figuring on moving their stores to the
new townsite, a plat of which has been
shown your correspondent. The new
town has been laid out but not as yet
chriStened

His Name Was Guess.

In Greenwich street there is a small
barber shop. In it is a young barber.
He is an assistant, and his name is
Guess. He has been employed there
only a few days, but he came very near
losing his job. and on account of his
name, too. The proprietor was in when
he applied for work, liked his appear
ance, easily came to terms with him,
and assigned him to chair.
What is your name?" asked the boss.
Guess" was the reply.
I'm a poor hand at guessing names.
but perhaps it may be Schmidt
No; Guess"
"Lutz, then"
a smile; Guess"

ately
The young man shook his head and
again replied, Guess
See here, young fellow" said the
boss, angrily, IF you can't answer a
civil question, ] think you had better
look elsewhere for job. Now, sir. I'm
in no humor for trihing; what is your
name?"
George Guess"
Now, it happened that the boss first
name was George, and, naturally, he
thought the young man was still anus
ing himself in most unusual fashion.
SAY" he roared. this has gone far
enough. If you will not tell me your
name you will have to get out!''
4 have told you several times that
my name is Guess, and also that my
first name is George. If that doesn't
satisfy you I'm afraid nothing ever
will
Light dawned upon the boss BARRIERS
mind. and the young man went to
work.

WHO WILL Be council MAN?
SUCCESSOR TO Mr.. ASH SOON TO
BE CHOSEN.
Apt to Be a Democrat-John Watson,
John scowcroft, John Tyler, James
Ballard and Others Talked Of.

The vacancy in the city council caus-
ed by the death of the late S. P. Ash
will likely be filled at the next meeting
of the council, which occurs a week
from tomorrow night. Matters of pub
lie Importance are to come before the
city guardians as soon as possible, and
it is essential that the place be filed at
once. Mir. Ash was chairman of the
police committee and a member OF
other important committees as well.
In the discussion of 4 successor for
Mr.. Ash the subject of individual cam
didates has hardly been reached. The
first question to suggest itself was
whether the new member from the
Fifth should be d Republican or a
Democrat. The council now stands six
Republicans and three Democrats. Mr..
Ash was elected as 4 Democrat, and
many Republicans say his successor
should be a Democrat also.
Councilman Williams, Republican
councilman from the Second ward,
said yesterday on this point: Il think
the successor of Mr.. Ash should be a
Democrat. and l will work to that end.
The present council should, in my
Judgment, carry out as nearly as pos
sible the wishes of the people as eX-
pressed at the polls in the last city
Ihefe are lots OIL BOOu Demo-
Gratis in the Fifth ward, and | shall
vote for one of them
OF the available candidates mention
ed the names Of John Watson. James
Ballard. John Scowcroft, Willard Snow
and John Tyler are beginning to be
heard. Mr.. Watson has served the city
before in that capacity. Mr.. Snow was
the Democratic candidate running with
Mr.. Ash last election, but was defeated
by a few votes.
The Republican candidate defeated by
Mr. Ash was Frank ]. Stevens, and he,
together with DR.. c. E. Coulter, is
talked of for the place.
President Browning is also in favor of
a Democrat, and one of his friends stat
ed last night that he would vote for
Ballard. Mr.. Ballard was a member of
the campaign committee from the Fifth
ward. He was councilman for four
years in Atlantic City, Ia, before COM
ing to Ogden.

sHEARING OF SHEEP.
10000 Fleeces Now Awaiting a
Buyer at Price.
Especial Correspondence.)

(Speclal correspondence
Price, April 15.-Sheep shearing at Price
for this year is about over, the big hocks
have been put through the pens and there
remain to be shorn only a few small and
struggling hocks. Seventy thousand have
been robbed of their fleece, which Is the
largest number over handled here in one
season. Now that they are deprived of
their wool the focks are being driven into
the hills to the north and to the west of
Price, where the grazing is good and also
where they will be nearer the dipping
pens at Pleasant Valley Junction when
dipping time comes. So far there have
been no wool buyers in this market, and
owners are storing their wool until such
time as the buyers of eastern houses come
along and make them an offer for their
product. The year has been most profit
able one for sheep owners. Their losses
from wolves and coyotes were small dur
ing the winter by reason of the fact that
the Woolgrowers' association had an
agent in eastern Utah all winter, whose
business it was to put out poison and
otherwise annihilate the objectionable
animals. And again the winter in the val
leys and on the deserts where the flocks
were herded, was mild one. owners
figure that with another season like the
one just closed they will come out even
and have their tocks left as a profit.
Sheep were generally exceptionally we'll
feeced this spring.

COUNTY SEAT QUESTION.

Junction, April 1.-THE county commits
sioners held regular meeting yester-
day. Attorney Osborne called the COM
missionerS' attention to the fact that the
county had never been divided into health
districts. This they did by dividing it
into three districts as follows: MarysVale

Lyon: District No ,. DR.. Jessie o. Har-
ris; District No. 3, Mrs. Catherine Soren-
son.
Another step that was taken and is look
ed upon as very important, was an order
instructing the county clerk to notify
Mrs. A. b. Wixom. county recorder, that
hereafter no allowance would be made
for office rent so long as she remained
at Kingston. This will. in all probability

each about six inches long, with slots
about two inches long and large
enough to admit hooks | and 2. Bolt
these plates to the under side of the
wagon bed, with the slots extending

Now attach two rods or chains, as
at Fig. 3, at G ID and let them pass
through rings fastened at the top end
of the bed. This holds the end gate up

Particular attention is called in the
journal already mentioned to the crate

in that the crate can thus be nlade Of
