STATES
SHEEP SHEARING IS BEGUN
FLoCKS ARE GATHERED ABOUT
SODA SPRINGS, IDA.
Between 100000 and 100000 VIII
Be Clipped in the Vicinity This
Season.
Especial Correspondence

Soda Springs, Ida, May 2i.-Sheep
shearing commenced in this section
this morning, and the vicinity of Soda
Springs is now about the busiest pOr-
ton of the west. Sheepmen from Yart-
Gus parts of Idaho, Utah and Nevada
have their fiocks here. They bring them
to this point on account of the excel
lent summer range. All around there
are shearing cOrrals and dipping watts.
This year men receive cents q fleece
for shearing and they viii average 100
head a day.
Two men-F. NJ. Merrill and A.
Largilliere-are running steam clippers.
Tt is claimed for these machines that
while they do not take off the wool
any faster than a man with ordinary
shears, they do it much smoother, do
not chop up the wool nor chip pieces of
hide out of the sheep and they cut so
much closer to the skin that about
half a pound more wool is added TO
each fleece than when sheared in the
old way.
Between 900 and 100000 sheep will
be sheared around here this summer,
which gives employment to a large
number Of men. AS soon as the sheep
lose their coats they go through the
process of dipping to prevent and cure
diseases common to their species. A
large vat 100 feet or more in length is
filled with the dip. The sheep are
driven into this at one end and are
forced 10 swim to the other end in or
der to get out, during which perform
anCe they receive a thorough soaking.

OUTLET FOR D. & R. G.
Reported Alliance With Rock Island
and Santa Fe

Speculation is rife, following the an
nOuncement of the changes on the
Denver & Rio Grande. as to what that
road will do to combat the powerful
competitor formed against it by the
Rio Grande Western, the Colorado Mid
land and the Colorado & Southern, says
the Denver Post. The Rio Grande ends
at Grand Junction, where all trains
are turned over to the Western. Be
tween Grand Junction and Ogden is
a gap of some 800 miles. The Western
will find it to its own advantage to
send all east-bound traffic, or the great
majority of ii, over the Midland to
Denver, which road, after July /, it
will own jointly with the Colorado &
Southern.
1t is conceded the Denver & Rio
Grande will be in such crippled shape
that it must seek some Pacific coast
outlet other than the Western. A per
sistent rumor that will not be silenced
is that the big lines are already getting
( things into shape.
The Rio Grande will make an alliance
with the Rock Island and the Santa Fe,
while the Burlington will be the Chica-
go or eastern end of the Western Mid
land Colorado & Southern combination
until its own line to Ogden is COM
Dleted.

An Old Resident Who Came to Utah

Mr. Harrison was one of the very
Well-known O1d-time citizens of Salt
Lake, having lived here since 1861. in
winch year he came to Utah from Eng
land as convert Of the Mormon
church. In the old country, he was an
enthusiastic advocate of the doctrines
Of Mormonism, but soon after coming
TO Utah he urged greater liberty of
speech and action than was counte-
nanced by the church leaders then. For
MS attitude in thus running counter to
the wishes of the leaders, Mr.. Harrison.
together with Henry w. Lawrence,
William S. GOdbe, Eli B. Kelsey and
other dissenters, was communicated
from the church in 1853.
In the meantime, however, Mr. Har-
rlson and the late Edward w Tuliidge
had established the Peep O'Day. which
was published at Fort Douglas. After
time the Utah Magazine, with Mr..
GOdbe. as proprietor and Mr.. Harrison
as editor, succeeded the Peep O'Day
and q short time later it was merged
into the Mormon Tribune, which in
April, 1871, became the Salt Lake Tri-
buca.
As an author and architect Mr. Har-
risOn distinguished himself among the
noted men Of the west He was a
man Of brilliant attachments and in all
his career there was never anyone to
question his sincerity Of purpose and
devotion to principle.
During his lingering illness Mr.. Har-
rison was tenderly cared for by his
two devoted daughters, whose affection
for their aged father was a beautiful
demonstration of filial regard for one
who had been most devoted to them. In
his death he leaves to them an hon.

Denver, Colo, May Pit is apparent
the Rio Grande is infusing new blood
into its operating department, as it is
on the eve of playing it's trump card
against the powerful competitor that
has sprung into life by the control of
the Midland, by the Colorado & South
ern and Rio Grande Western. It is now
conceded the Rio Grande, with some
other eastern road reaching Denver,
will build from Grand Junction west
ward TO Ogden or Salt Lake as the
Western will throw much of the bust
ness now accruing to the Denver & Rio
Grande over its own line to Denver
Within the next year not only will the
railroad map of the west be changed,
but history will be made by sensation
al moves that are now being strongly
outlined
