Dear Strive have the honor 10 ac-
knowledge receipt Of your letter OF the
10th inst. (receved by us on the morn
ing OF the 20th), the contents OF which
we have carefully noted.
We note with satisfaction that you
have IN THE PAST instructed the
Chief Of Police" concerning the carry
ing out OF the ordinances against the
selling Of liquors TO minors. We OBJ
serve that you say the laws against
persons under is years OF age visiting
saloons, billiard or pool rooms are be-
ing enforced, and that the law prohibit
Ing the sale OF tobacco TO persons UNI
der Is years is receiving attention--we
hope that these too will be included in
instructions TO the Chief of Police to en-
force, and we hope further-taking up
another part Of the subject of our peti-
ton to the council and our letter OF the
l4th inst. 10 you. which YOU have not
yet favored US with reply concerning
that you will instruct the Chief Of
Police to enforce the ordinances and
laws relating to the selling OF liquors
on the Sabbath day. and gambling.
We have been instructed by the Lat
ter-day Saints Sunday Schools Of this
city TO seek TO secure the enforcement
of all the ordinances referred to in our
petition. and we kindly ask you 10 aid
us in this matter--will you do SO?
Permit us 20 state why we look 10 you
In order TO secure the enforcement OF
these ordinances We read In section

1898, that the Mayor is the chief ex-
ecutiye of city" and speaking Of his
duties. he shall see that the laws and
ordinances are faithfully executed"
(section 1870, same volume).
You show your willingness to see that
the laws and ordinances against the
selling OF liquors TO minors are en-
forced, when you say "If any police
officer OF this city knows OF violations
OF any laws or ordinances relating TO
minors. and such officer has not taken
the proper steps to have the laws en-
forced, II brought 10 my notice, he
shall be removed at once" (from which
declaration we hope for greater vigil
lance on the part Of the officers here
after) and which we recognize is with
In your province under section 81
chapter %. session laws OF 1899, and
we observe that under section Of the
same chapter you are given the same
power OF removal as applied to the
heads Of the police and fire depart
ments."

SUGAR CO.'S MEETING.
Great Outlook for The Coming Seasons
Crop,
The Completion Of the East branch
OF the Bear River
Canal.

The board of directors Of the Utah
Sugar company, met at $3.50 this morn
ing, President Snow presiding. Mana
ger Cutler made a report Of the con-
dition OF the beet crop which he stat
ed was in admirable shape, and his es-
Inmates were that the total tonnage
would run from 5000 to $4,000 tons,
He also made a statement Of the prop
osition made the company by President
Kelley, OF Boxelder county, and the
committee of farmers owning land on
the east side Of Bear river with view
10 inducing the Sugar company TO ex-
tend the east branch OF the canal Az
ter full discussion, II was decided bY
the board that the proposition should
be accepted, provided some minor mod
ificatlons we're made, and Mr.. Cutler
was empowered 10 negotiate further
with President Kelley and his commit
tee.
After the meeting Mr.. Cutler stated
that the notifications were slight ones
and he had no doubt the arrangement
would be made and the canal complet-
ed through Brigham City as far south
as Willard. BY the contract made with
the farmers. the Sugar company VIII
receive $50 an acre for the perpetual
right 20 water from its canal
on 1900 acres OF land, a total
of $500, O00 in addition TO this IL will
receive an annual rental OF g per acre
for the first three years with slight
reduction after that period. II the con-
tract is made for the extension OF the
canal, II will be pushed TO completion
in time TO water next years crops, and
Mr.. Cutler stated that II would mean
the retaining Of a vast amount OF
land on the east side OF Bear river
which has hitherto been unproductive,
but which is OF the highest kind OF
value for the cultivation of beets.
Some discussion took place at the
meeting on the question OF selling some
OF the choice land owned by the com,
pany on the west side OF the river for
which there Is ample water now ready
for use. and II was decided that eau
ton should be exercised in making
sales so that spectators would be shut
out. and only actual home seekers and
farmers be given preference.

person so far as can be learned who
was on the City Of Trenton and who. is

fact that they came home on other
boats. Mrs H. Tory, of Trenton, and
her son Earl were reported from Phila-
delphia TO have been seen on the boat
before the explosion. Their names do
MOI appear In the city directory. and
they do not live at the address given.

Philadelphia that Miss Jessie Stratton,
the Trenton school teacher who, II was
thought, might die from the injuries
she received in the explosion, is in a
much more favorable condition and the
doctors expect her 10 recover. II was
at first thought that Miss Stratton had
inhaled flames and her case was there
fore pronounced hopeless.
