HOTEL GOSSIP.

The force at the Knutsford is some
what depleted owing to the fact that
Proprietor Gus Holmes yesterday left
for California in company with Colonel
POsey, while Day Clerk Harry Burton
has gone on his annual vacation to the
cool retreat of Heber City armed with
stack of novels and fishing pole.
There is all the work that a man
wants at Rock Springs" said A. Sand
berg Of~that coal mining camp, at the
White House yesterday. 'Sinee the
ScOfeld explosion the company has not
been able to get enough men with the
result that Cinnamon and Japanese
have been taken on to do the work.
There is plenty Of work to be had at
good wages at the present time in Wy
oming, owing to the general good times
that are going. On the Union Pacific
the same difficulty is being experienced
in getting labor for the big grading
contracts that are now in operation
near Evanston and elsewhere along the
main line" Sandberg came to town
on the excursion from Rock Springs
yesterday, He stated that half the pop
ulation" of that place took advantage
of the very low rate to visit this city.
Union Jack stuck jauntily in her sailor
hat entered the Kenyon. She was ac-
cOmpanied by gentleman whose dis
ordered hair was uncovered with any
Semblance of & lid. After inscribing
Mr.. and Mrs. Hefnaman- Wooler, Yves
tOn-Super-M Mare, England" on the page
of the register the gentleman apologized
for his appearance with the plea that
he had lost the only two hats he had
1z1 ~
rear platform of the train. When aD-
preached upon the subject of the pres
ent crisis in China and the attitude of
England in the matter, he said:
TO tell you the truth, l left England
last March and have been travelling
through the east, Mexico and California
ever since, and I have not had time to
study the situation. / suppose, however,
that the long-talked-of partition OF
China is a. hand. l lost dear friend
OF mine over in China some years ago
at the hands Of those fellows and the
affair cost the empire the sum of ESQ.,
600 before England finally got through
with them.
Il suppose that the assassination of
the German minister in Pekin will
cause trouble with the ultimate sequel
that Germany viii acquire several
hundred thousands of square miles of
emperor looks upon the occurrence in
the light of a godsend and will push the
affair to the issue, while at the same
time England will alD participate in
the division.
''It is a shame. The powers should
have let Japan have had a hand in the
distribution when she licked the Chi
nese some years ago; but no, the DOW
ers stepped in and defrauded her out
of her just rights, and have no doubt
If this present trouble ends Neriously
and China goes to the wall, that Japan
will be left out in the cold entirely"
The Engiishman upon changing the
subject to the BOer war proceeded to
say; I have heard lots of anti-British
sentiment expressed during my present
trip, but 1 do not take much heed of
it We Englishmen understand what is
the matter when we hear it and put il
down to lot of election talk
There has not been sale of wool
in Utah this week" said Ludwig Else
mann at the Knutsford last night. for !
If there had been 1 should have heard
of it. as 1 have my men out all over the |
state. l think that it is the universal !
sentiment among the eastern wool buy |
eFs here that this year has so far been !
the worst on record for Utah as re-
CARDS the wool business. The recent |
slump IN the price of sheep skins in |
London has not tended to improve mat |
tiers TO any appreciate extent either.
THE fact is the wool buyers are not |
doing any buying. While ii is true that |
the sheepmen are coming into town /
right along they apparently do not like |
our looks and Gloss us with a lot of /
thieves OF sure thing men. That is !
about the situation and all the wool |
that is moving is being sent on consign- |
ment. One of the eastern buyers who /
was called home by his firm today ap- |
parentiy got UP his nerve before ne left
and asserted that all we wool buyers |
here ought TO buy the wool just to keep |
up the price. but l think that while he /
would like to be doing something, at |
the same time we are not going to that /
length Just at present"
