That Tramway Deal.

To Whom it Concerns:
Ny attention has been called to a
circular put forth by Lyman skeen in
which he purports to give the facts in
the disposition of the tramway prop
erty Of Weber county. Mr.. Skeen in
sinuates that the quotation from let
ter to me as published in The Herald
was not correct. read The Herald
article, including the letter. and have
no hesitation in saying that the same
was correct. The letter was quoted
word for word. received the letter
authorizing me 10 bid as high as $1,000
and I also received a $4,000 certified
check to back it up just as The Herald
says. was ready to bid $4,000 for the
tramway property, but the lease put
on it for two years gave the Corey
Bros. company absolute control OF the
same for that time and made 1t value
less to anyone except the said company.
I have always been a Republican, but
I believe in methods that the Repuhl-
can party can afford to endorse, and /
do not believe that the Republicans can
afford to endorse this transaction
In his circular Mr.. Skeen called on
ssAIr. Bostaph or The Herald TO ex-
plain" why I did not bid. understand
The Herald has explained. This letter
is my explanation.

THE great issues Of the campaign

This election VIII show that the peO-
pie of this state still believe in the free

they are opposed to Imperialism and

JOHN W. BURTON.
Chairman Democratic State Commit
tee"
Chairman CaIlister of the Republican
state committee was so busy pacifylng
people who came in to kick because he
had sent them poor speakers that he
had little time to discuss She outlook.
He was fairly cheerful. however. for d
man who is about TO be badly trOunCed.
His idea Of the outlook, as indicated to
his stenogrzpher, is as follows:
We viii carry the state by an aver
age majority of not less than 1000 for
electoral, congressional and state
tickets We viii have control of both
houses of the legislature; consequently,
q ma oTity on joint ballot. No one
knows better than the leaders Of the
Democratic party tat they are
whipped. Their cIairl OF carrying this
county by a large majority and also
the state by d majority Of from 1000 to
5000 is simply bOsh. Even they do not
believe il.
My friends Burton and Wilson pro-
test too much. We have run a clean
campaign, on a high. moral plane. We
have not stopped to personal abuse or
the assassination Of private character.
Our money has been spent legitimate
ly, and we are not looking for an easy
place TO fan By crying fraud, as is the
Democratic party.
There is no question in my mind
but that this state normally is Ilepub-
liCan, and from the great gains % lead
ing Democrats we have made from
Cache valley on the north to Kane
county on the south. we can see no rea-
son why we viii not carry this state as
predicted. =. II. CALLISTER,

A STRIP OF LAND.
Costa Rica and Nicaragua VIII Sell
Territory.

New York, April "a special
to the Herald from Washington
says: An official of the admins
tration is authority for the state
ment that arrangements have been
practically concluded with the
governments of Costa Rica and
Nicaragua for the acquisition by
the United States of strip of ter
ritory ten miles wide between
Greytown and Brito, through
which the Nicaragua canal will be
constructed.
There are certain diplomatic
phases of the negotiations yet to
be perfected, but it is understood
that these are rather matters of
detail than of principal. Rear
Admiral John G. Walker, presi-
dent of the Isthmian canal commits
sion, sounded the Genital Ameri-
can government as to the action
they would take in the event of IL
formal proposition from this gov
ernment looking to the acquisition
of the necessary territory, and the
answers he received were generally
of very satisfactory character.
Rear Admiral Walkers action
followed the receipt of instructions
from the president. These instruc
tions contemplated:
First-That he ascertain the
sentiment in Nicaragua and Costa
Rica respecting the transfer of the
necessary territory for the purpose
of the canal and the terms upon
which transfer would be made;
and,
Second, If any conventions Of
contracts with foreign powers o.
corporations prevented the con
struction of the canal by the Unitet
States.
Rear Admiral Walker visitet
Managua and San Jose and ha'
very satisfactory interviews wit
President Zelaya and Presiden
Iglesias. In view of the fact tha
to construct the canal it will b
necessary to build railroads an,
other appliances, Rear Admira
T Walker considered it desirable t
, obtain five miles on each side Q
! the route of the proposed cana
, and at least three miles on til
southern shore of Lake Nicaragua
