CANAL COMPANIES
PREPARE TO EXPAND.

Vernal. Aug. S.-During the past few
days the different canal companies tax
ing water from Ashley creek have held
special meetings and authorized their di-
rectOrs to levy assessments TO be used
as common fund under a general incOr-
poraton to be formed for the purpose of
increasing the water supply by Tuning
the Dry Fork stream across the lime belt
and making permanent reservoirs of the
lakes at the hea0waters of Ashley creek
or BY any other means found to be prac-
ucable. Considerable interest is being
taken in the matter just now as the eX-
IRENE drvness of the past two seasons
has demonstrated the folly of allowing
the splendid opportunities at hand for
increasing the water supply to exist with
out being taken advantage OF. 1t is esti-
mated that there are ample facilities for
storing and fluming the mountain streams
that have their rise in the mountains
north of the valley to easily irrigate eF-
cry foot of irrigable land from the base
of the mountains to Green river. The
object of the canal companies, however,
is to simply increase the flow to the
present shareholders and issue no new
stock, but there is a strong proba biliCy
that the action of the canal companies
will result in other projects to irrigate
lands not covered by the present canals
At the regular session OF the county
commissioners yesterday the tax levy for
the current year was fixed at mills for
county purposes 8 mills for county school,
mill for poor and pauper and 1 mill for
bond interest. making total Of 10 mills

Lochrie reposed in peaceful slumber on
the front row. obiviOus to the amuse-
ment he was furnishing for the Occa-
sion until District Attorney Eichn0r
ruthlessly interrupted his dreams.
Mr. Hill. the complaining witness,
declared that Kelsey had refused to
pay for an abstract. and had used Ian
guage to him that was anything but
complimentary. The defendant. he said.
had run after him down the street,
seized him by the shoulder had been
so profane as to say ID it," and then
seized the abstract from his pocket.
Hill declared that a scufIle ensued. IN
which Kelsey wrested the document
from him
Two witnesses said they hadn't seen
any scufIse and KELSEY denied that he
had taken hold of Hill. Il wanted the
tempting sticking out Of his pocket. 50
I lust reached over and lifted it out"
Judge TimmOny said he thought Hill
had been more outraged in his feelings
than injured by any assault, and he
didn't think he was justified in hnins
the defendant Accordingly the latter
was told TO depart and be careful how
he distracted abstracts from people ;

GIBBoN ISN'T WORRIED.
Will Build a Pier in a Different Lo-
cality.


The San Pedro, Los Angeles & salt
Lake company has been overbid in the
effort to secure a wharf franchise in
San Pedro harbor. The company will
now look for another site. The San
Pedro road petitioned the board of
supervisors to advertise for bids for
the franchise. and there was supposed
TO be an understanding that the road
would be allowed to bid it in at a
nominal figure. When the bids were
opened it was found that Henry de
GarmO. president of the Los Angeles
Lime company, had offered $500 more
than the San Pedro company.
Regarding the intentions of the San
Pedro company under the circum-
stances, Vice President T. Z. GibbOn
is quoted as saying:
1T is true we are anxious to build a
pier at San Pedro. but we don't expect
TO offer Mr.. de Garmo 5 cents for his
franchise. AS a speculation il viii
prove a miserable failure
What we are going to do is to make
an application to the board of super
visOrs in a few days for another fran
chise, granting us the right TO con-
struct a wharf at another point in San
Pedro harbOr. You may rest assured,
too, that nobody viii Overbid us.
I don't know what Mr.. dc GarmO
intends to do with his franchise, now
that he has got it It may be that ne
intends to build a wharf where we had
hoped TO build ours. If not, il won't
be long before he viii heartily regret
having secured the franchise for specu-
latiOn purposes. We nave not yet set
tied upon the exact site for our new
pier but viii do so in a short time"

BUSINESS QUIET LAST WEEK
EVERYTHING FALLS OFF EX-
CEPT BANK CLEARINGs.
Latter Show Gain of More Than
100 Per Cent During the Last
Year.

The past week was a quiet one in
salt Lake business circles. owing to
the heat, the absence from the city
Of so many people off on their summer
vacations, and to the normal quietude
Of this season Of the year. There was
heavy falling off on the mining
stock exchange, very little business
was transacted in local commercial
stocks, and the real estate market was
devoid of all features.
In spite of all the adverse cfrcum-
stances the hank clearings kept right
on in their triumphant career. They
were over twice as great as on the
corresponding week a year ago. The
figures are S3,6S4,1S5.SS and S1.S17, 379- 81.
Yesterday the clearings were $685.
65015 compared with S26S 77S.06 for the
corresponding day of last year.
One feature of the local business sit
uatiOn that is attracting attention is
the decentralization in the prices of
flour and sugar. For years the local
millers have tried to maintain uniform
prices on the flour handled in the
local market They have failed, their
organization has gone to pieces and il
Is a please now on the
prices of flour. The prevailing prices
on the three grades are SLIGO, S1.4O and
sL30. Sugar during the week sold to
the trade at S5-55 for beet and 1856 for
cane.

CUTTING Of RATES
HAS BEEN RESUMED
Despite Denials the Work is
Going On.
SLASH OF 10 CENTS GIVEN
BIG SHIPPERS BEING TAKEN
CARE OFF,
SLASH OF 10 CENTSG GIVEN

Despite denials, rate cutting has
been resumed by railroads doing bust
ness in Utah. One of the strongest
lines is said to have started the trim
ming. and the other roads are prepar-
ing to meet the reduction. Yesterday
heavy shippers were being offered a
reduction of 10 cents per 100 pounds.
il is stated, on certain classes of goods
from Missouri river points.
The order to maintain published
rates went into effect Aug. 1. It was
stated at the time that the iOrdEr
came from the heads of the roads, and
would be enforced stringently, the
agent who violated being in danger
of losing his head. For a week the
local situation was apparently calm,
and freight agents generally declared
that the rates were being maintained.
Then suspicion began to grow. There
were rumors that reductions were be-
ing made secretly. Friday offers of
cut rates are known to have been
made by a strong road which has
heretofore started a decentralization of
rates. When The Herald limited at
this fact, there were denials, but yes
terday the same road was repeating
its offers, and the representatives Of
other roads were promising similar
rates.
Several large shippers were ap-
preached yesterday with the offer of
cut rates, while others went to the
freight agents with whom they were
doing business and demanded reduc-
tons such as were being offered by
other lines. The result was some ac-
tive bustling on the part of freight
men, and some telegraphing to general
headquarters for instructions.
The reply generally given shippers
was that the cut rates must have
been in carrying out previous con-
tracts. but heavy patrons Of the roads
were informed that they would be
taken care OF" These contracts were
supposed TO be abrOgated, but the fear
Of losing the business of the shipper
thus treated has interfeTed with this
abrOgation.
The community of interests" does
not appear to figure to any extent in
the local situation, for roads supposed
to be Joined financially are out
huStling each for itself.

MRS. sHIPP DIVORCED.
Granted a Legal Separation From
Her Husband.

GTanU6Q LSgal separation EToIu
Her Husband.
Judge Stewart yesterday granted a
divorce to Eda D. Ship from her hus-
band Milford B. Ship. jr-, whom she
married at Manti on Sept. 8, 1890. The
defendant consented to be adjudged in
default and the testimony of plaintiff
and Johanna Moen showed that for a
long time past Shipp had failed to pro-
vide for the support of his wife and
two children. The decree of separation
awards Mrs. Shipp the custody of her
children and alimOny at the rate Of SIS
monthly.
The amended complaint in the divorce
case of Lottie Kahn against Ferdinand
\. Kahn was filed with the district
court yesterday, the additional ground
for separation being adultery, as was
stated in The Herald on Friday. The
complaint alleges first that since soon
after the marriage, on Dec. 10 Of last
year, the defendant has willfully failed
to provide for his wifes support; and,
second, that on Jan. IL Kahn commit
ted adultery with one Mabel Clayton at
IS Commercial street, and that he has
repeated the Offense at divers times.
The plaintiff AYERS that when she be
came COgnizant of her husbands Of
Tending she ceased to live with him.
Originally Mrs. Kahn asked for nei-
Their alimony nor attorneys fees, but
since the defendant announced that he
would resist her prayer for a separa-
ton on the simple ground OF non-sup-
port, she has determined, as stated in
the amended complaint, TO demand both
alimony and the expenses of her suit.
The plaintiff also prays TO be restored
to her maiden name, LOttie Levy.

SCOTS claim that he had insu3ted his
wife. said that he had not insulted her.
He said that on one occasion he heard
her talking to one of her children on
subject which he thought should not be
mentioned TO children, and had rebuked
her for il. he testified that Scott had
accused him at the park with having
insuTted his wife. and had threa Ehed
him.
Judge Nielsen said there were some
mitigating circumstance in the case. in
the light Of which he would have dis
missed it. had il not been shown that
Scott sneaked behind krouger and as
aaulted him. But in the light Of the
3 fdence or abe state and absence OF
