BRIGHAM YouNG's CARRIAGE
Rusty Relic of the Former splendor
of Salt Lake City's Famous
Prophet.

In a scrap heap in the back yard
of an old stable jim the southern part
of the city lie lthe rusted and de-
caying remnants of carriage that
once upon a time used to trundle
through the bfoad streets of Salt
Lake City conveying Brigham Young
and as many OF his wives as could
be conveniently crowded into it to
church or out to the suburbs after
air. 1t was fine hack and the
envy of all thei other fine traps of
the day in the city of Zion, says the
Montana Record.
It came to Bltte in 1882 with d
lot of secondhand rummage that
Crane, of Salt Lake City, sent up here
to be disposed Of.
Charles Palmer mounted the box
one day down in front of Dolman's
feed store, in Park street, where the
Curtis block now stands, and sold the
hack to the highest bidder. There
were several men of wealth who
wanted the hack, but their limit was
from $500 to 5000. Finally J. A. Muir
ray took it for rts675.
Eat jack" the veteran of all the
hack drivers OF Butte, and Tom
Mays, then hack driver, now mil
lionaire, at once opened spirited
contest for the temporary posses
sion of the coveted hack. Mays was
willing to pay 500 a month for the
use of it, but Jack outbid him, and
he offered to give Mr.. Murray five
dollars in gold5eyery day for the use
of it, which offer was accepted.
Jack paid five dollars day for it
for six years, Or in all $10,95O, which
it will be noted at a glance was a
pretty good return on an investment
of $675.
One day Jack met Mr.. Murray on
street corner and said: Say, Jim,
amt paid you about as much as
that buggy is worth in rent?''
"Oh, don't know, jack" replied
the millionaire mine owner. "That's
q pretty fine rig; besides Brigham
Young used I'd own it, and his wives
used to ride ii it,
''Well, I'm going to quit renting it.
I'll turn it over to you tonight"
"All right" and James A. Murray
clasped his hands behind his back,
and walked slowly up the street past
King & Lowry's, looking in that
place as he passed. At Clark's bank
corner Mr.. Murray met Tom Nays
who promptly rented the hack that

The hack was made at Brigham
Young's order in 1861 in the east, and
cost $4,000. It was carried across the
plains from Chicago in sections on
freight wagons, and its arrival Of
the Young residence was marked by
much grateful expression on the part
of Mesdamea Young, who had been
walking all the years since 1850 I'd
church and to market. It was one Of
the first hacks, if not the first, that
came to Butte, and it was the first
piece of junk that Charlie Palmer
sold at auction in Butte.

I bark and cover the naked trunks with
moss; but now it is considered better
to cut the trees down close to the
roots and near by plant new ones. The
trees are then cut into short lengths
land the bark beaten off by women.
Women and children assist also In
the further preparation of<the bark.
The Pharmaceutical bark, the pipe
bark, is usually dried entirely in the
sun. 1t is placed in great trays, and
while it is stiu green women and chill
dren tie it into bundles. They sit in
the trays and work quite at their
ease. When bark is dried in ovens the
latter are heated by the wood of the
stripped trees.
After the bark is thoroughly dried
it is roughly ground into powder. Wa
ter power, which is abundant, is usual
1y employed for this process. Tho
powder is then packed into bags and
the greater part of it sent to Amster-
dam, whence it is distributed. to diff
ferent factories. The remainder, as
we have said, is manufactured into
quinine at Bandoeng.
Bandoeng is about eight hours ride
from Batavia, the chief port of Java.
It is an attractive little town, its long.
low houses built for tropical condi-
tions. Cinchona plantations lie all
about Bandoeng, from nine to thirty
miles distant. One may reach these
plantations by any one of three ways:
On the back Of pony, in a pony cart
or in mountain chair carried by four
natives. On the way cinchona may be
seen in all styles, from the tiny seed
up to large forest trees, towering a
hundred feet from the ground. The
dwellings of the planters are eminent
" comfortable, not to say luxurious.
The refnements of life are not lack
ing on these Javanese plantations,
and the planters are cultivated, intel
ligent gentlemen. The Peruvian bark
industry has done not little towards
the evident prosperity Of the country.

WAS WRONGLY QUOTED.


To the Editor of the Globe:
l am surprised and disappointed in
reading your report of the paper that /
read before the Methodist Preachers as
ISOLATION yesterday afternoon, on a
"Trip to California" The write up would
make it appear that I made a general
slash at the Roman Catholic church. a
thing that YVES far from my mind
pies and civilization with the Spanish of
New Mexico in particular I never used
the word Catholic in my paper, and the
word missionary but once. The word
padre was not even thought of in It's
construction. The word church al used
once, but not in the connection men,
toned in the report. l never mentioned
seeing tobacco-stained, whisky picked
missionary of the Catholic church at
Trinidad. Cal. l am not disposed to find
fault with any church, nor am | afraid
to speak my convictions en- any question,
whether religious or political. [ recog-
nize in brotherly sense the great good
that the American Catholic church is
accomplishing in more ways than one.
But the Spanish Catholic church is
different thing, and it is that wing of it
that made a, careful and studied refer
ence to yesterday and which was
thoughtlessly misconstrued by the re
reporter.
If the press were as guarded as the
pulpit in it's utterances UNCONVENTIONAL
differences would die out more rapidly
than they do. Respectfully yours

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
weekly Summary Issued by the Ma
tionaI Weather Bureau.

tiOnaI weather Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Sept. -3.-The weather
bureau summary of general crop condi-
tions is as follows:
While the weather conditions for the
week ending Sept. 2, 1901. have been gem
orally favorable in majority of districts,
heavy rains have injured crops and re-
tarded- work in portions of the South AL
lantic and gulf states. Extreme heat and
drought in localities of Oklahoma and
Texas have also been detrimental to
crops.
Late corn continues to show improve
ment. although it was injured by drought
and heat in portions of Kansas, has suf-
fered further decline in Mississippi and
needs rain in Nebraska In Iowa corn is
maturing rapidly and the cutting of early
planted is general in all sections of this
state and Missouri, and the more north
erly sections, and is progressing rapidly in
Kansas. Further Improvement in late
cCrn is reported from the Ohio valley.
but it has suffered injury by floods on
lowlands in Tennessee. Reports indicate
that the bulk of the late corn will be safe
from injury from frost by Sept. is to 20,
but that some very late fields will require
until Oct. 1 to fully mature the crop.
Spring wheat thrashing continues with
generally satisfactory yields except In
North Dakota, where they are light ana
of poor quality.
Another generally unfavorable week for
cotton. Continued complaints of rust and
