Cache. Salt Lake and Utah counties
held back their votes until they heard

The Sanpete delegation went home
feeling very sore. They were sanguine
of winning with Livingston as their
candidate for national delegate and
after the convention were pronounced
in their denunciatiOn of the hOggish-
ness of Salt Lake, as they were pleased
to term it. They had been told time
and again that the reason that their
county was not recognized was because
they were divided among themselves,
and that whenever they united on a
man they would get due recognition.
They were united this time and were
turned down Just the same. and San
pete is one of the banner counties,
too. The delegates saw too late that the
naming of their man for temporary
chairman was q trick To get him out
Of the way. OF course these are some
in the county who fought Livingston
and are against him yet on any propO-
sition who are pleased with his knock
out.

Six Elected.

The result of the first and only ballot
was as follows: c. Z. Loose, 1896; Ar
thur Brown, 3S7; George NJ. Hanson,
3S4: Heber NJ. Wells, 327; George Suth-

Thomas Seevey, "A; G. w. Aldrach, 3S;
Stephen H. Love, "a; w. H. Clark, q,
and p. 3. McKeOn, II.
It required 249 votes to elect, and on
the strength of this first ballot, there
fore, Chairman Booth announced the
election of Loose, Brown, Hanson,
Wells, Sutherland and Kearns as the
six national delegates of the conven-
ton.
The announcement was greeted with
a roar of applause. but there were
many delegates who did not join in
the roar just then, although they
rOared later. Brown has control of the
delegation, having four of the six dele
gates, and the others are not strongly
against him.

Some of the members Of the Repub-
lican state committee were wondering
last evening when their committee met
to select the temporary officers for the
convention They had got no notice Of
any meeting, and they had heard of no
meeting except one between W. K.
Walton, Mrs. Wells and one other mem
Der the evening before. This might be
all right, they thought. but if so what
is the use of having a state committee?
The defeat Of Mayor Thompson in the
convention yesterday cannot be laid at
the door Of the city employees. They
were there in force and fought nobly
for the man who deals out the pie IN
some cases it is said that some OF the
dep rtn entS were almost ent rely clio ed
to enable all hands TO go TO the con-
vention as delegates. One fellow COM
menting on the vote went so far as to
say that every vote that the mayor got
in Salt Lake was cast by a man in the
employ of the city. OF course this was
an exaggeration.

President Ripley Of the Santa

Was Chief Guest at Chamber
of Commerce Banquet.
A SENTIMENTAL SIDE.
Mr.. Ripley Worked as a Mercan-

Also Made His Start in Railroad
Work There.
4 SENTIMENTAL SIDE.

President E. P. Ripley Of the Santa
Fe was the guest Of honor at the an
nual banquet of the Chamber of Com
merce at Boston last week. The ban
quet was an elaborate affair and some
of the most prominent men in the east
were present.
There was a sentimental side to Mr.
Ripley's visit to Boston as the guest of
the Chamber Of Commerce. That city
is the birthplace of the president of the
Santa F'e and there he worked as a
boy. His first work was in a mercan-
tile store.
1t was in Boston that Mr.. Ripley first
entered railway service. He secured a
position as a clerk in rhe Boston Office
of the Burlington road, and his cOnnec-
ton with that railway system was
practically continuous until his election
TO the presidency of the Santa Fe
Mr.. Ripley is looked upon as one of
the most able and conservative rail
road managers in the country. The
prosperity OF the Santa Fe since he be-
came its chief executive is a splendid
testimonial to his ability

TREE PLANTING FOR TIES.
Experiments Made by Santa Fe Show
Great Profits.

The division Of forestry is in consul
ta1on with three important railway
companies over a contemplated innoVa-
ton i'll American railway methods.
These roadside AtchisOn. Topeka &
Santa Fe, the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul. and the GAINESVILLE & Ohio
are considering raising tie and pole
timber on a large scale on their now
nOn-utilized right-Of-way lands. Other
large western roads are also interested
This action is due chiefly to the fail
ing Of the natural supply of this ma
terial in all but the newer portions of
acres Of timber are consumed annually
by railroads in buildings and repairing
and, al the present rate OF timber de-
pleriOn, the increased cost of such ma
terIaI will soon be a serious factor in
railroad economy. The Santa Ee line
has already done some experimental
planting, and the results have done
much 20 stimulate interest This road
planted 1880 acres in catalpaS fifteen
years ago. The total expense was SIPS
600; but it is estimated by the railroad
officials that in ten years more the tract
will have produced s.. $4,000 worth of
poles, ties and posts
Having become convinced of the
necessity OF growing their own timber,
the railroads naturally wish to take ad-
vantage Of the assistance offered by the
government TO tree planterS-which
consists of expert advice. and Of the
working plans for planting based on
personal examination. The object Of
the government IS to demonstrate the
value Of tree plantations to land own
ers. especially those in the Lreeless
! regions OF the west.

REPUBLICANS FAVORED.
Southwestern Roads Discriminate
AGAINST the Democrats.

Chicago, June 13--Lines composing the
Southwestern Passenger association have
apparently made a discrimination in rates
in favor OF the convention Of the Repuo-
hcan party The association has granted
a fat One-half fare rate for the Phiiadel-
phia meeting. while a rate of One-fare
plus 3 has been granted for the Kansas
City gathering The lines composing the
association are: Santa Fe, Rock Island
Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe, Chicag go, Rock
Island & Pacific, Houston & Shreveport
Missouri, Kansas < Texas. Missouri Pa
cif1c, Port Arthur Route. Frisco Line,
Iron Mountain. Cotton Belt, Southern Pa
cific and Texas & Pacific.
Various reasons are assigned for the
discrimination, but SO far as the ordinary
individual IS concerned the explanations
do not explain All the Texas and south
western Democrat knows is that he will
pay 3 more in proportion for going 10 the
Democratic national convention than his
Republican neighbOr viii pay for the
same privilege at Philadelphia One ex-
PLANTATION is to the effect that the lines in
the association have an agreement where
by no excursion rates viii be made less
than one fare plus s., forgetting that. de-
spite this fact the open 0ue-fare rate
was accorded the Republicans.
An attempt was recently made in the
Western Passenger association to discrim-
mate in favor of the Republicans, but it
was promptly squelched by the far-see-
ing officials.

MONEY Is PLENTY.
Secretary Gage Says Stringency Has
Disappeared.

New York, June 13-Secretary Gage
was asked. says a Washington special
to the Herald, if he would continue
withdrawing government funds from
national repositories, and if this action
meant that the money Stringency had
disappeared
These fuuds.'' said he. will be with
drawn from the repositories in proper
ton TO the amounts deposited until $50
600 900 has been turned into the treas
ury for the purpose OF paying for the
two per cent. bonds which will be re-
deemed shortly. Yes. this is a sign
that the money stringency has disap-
peared but a still better one is the fact
that money IS plentiful in New York
at H. per cent
I cannot tell whether any more than
S25. goo GOO will be called in. If the con-
dition of the treasury requires it this
will be done. No. cannot say whether
any Of the special repositories will be
abolished There is one thing certain,
it is not the intention of the depart
nent to take any of the money out OF
these repositories and place it in the
vaults of the treasury where it will do
no one good It will be left where it is,
If needed.
IF conditions demand and 1t becomes
necessary more money will be placed
in these institutions during the fall,
when the movement Of the crops be
gins and a great deal of money is need
ed for that purpose

WILL HIRE A HALL.
A. I. Williams Says He VIII Publicly
Discuss Paving Delays.

A L. Williams says he will hire the
Grand opera house to tell the people
OF Topeka how they are being imposed
upon by the city council and the paw
ing contractors. He left Tuesday for
Quincy. Ill, with is family, but win
return this week.
Mr. Williams lives on Fillmore street
and the contract for paving in front OF
his place was awarded to John Richie
last October
The grading has not been completed.
It viii require at least two weeks of
hard work before the street is in shape
for the paving. Fillmore street, where
the graders had been at work, presented
a far from pleasing appearance yester-
day Mr. Williams Waxed eloquent in
describing the trials and fluctuations of
the taxpayers who have put up the
money to pay for street Improvement
BIr. Williams said the work had been
delayed in many ways that were IN
avoidahle and also in many ways that
might have been avoided
One cause of delay in the work has
been the constant trouble with labor
ers. Then, according to Mr. Williams
the big grader seemed TO break down
when the men had decided to work, and
between the grader and the labor
troubles the residents on the street
have become exasperated. their pa
tience has been exhausted, and they
will demand that something be done.

by Secretary George H. Foote of the
local passenger bureau. and by him

sioner Scott, of Kansas, who are work
ing together to secure harvest hands
for the Kansas wheat fields. The men
will be sent from here tomorrow and
viii be met at Russell by a deleEa-
ton of farmers who need harvest
hands.
About eighty men were sent to the
harvest fields yesterday, going to
southern Kansas. The movement is ex-
pected to be heavier each day from now
on. and to be very large by the latter
part Of this week There are now sew
eraI men in waiting for each job offered
but by the first Of next week this may
be reversed. The state labor bureau
in the Temple block has more appli-
cants for work in the harvest fields
than its force is able to register. al
though it is working long hours, open
ing at $50 a. m, an hour and a half
earlier than usual.
