took the lead; he was the first to learn
the Hawaiian languag e. and later
translated the Book of Mormon into
that tongue. He returned to Califor-

MR.. CALVIN RETURNS.
Interesting Details of the Grade
Situation


General superintendent Calvin of the
Oregon Short Line returned from
Uvada yesterday. He gives some fresh
and interesting details concerning the
big question
The situation is this" said Mr.. Cal
vim, and it shows the folly of the
Clark people in claiming the right to
that grade. The Union Pacific con-
strUcted the grade For ten years no
taxes were paid on it. A month ago
the Clark company took an option
from the county, by which they were
TO secure the cOunty'S taX-right to the
grade providing they paid the taxes
due, which amount to $500, and built
their road on it in six months. They
expected then to buy the Utah & Pa
cific, which held a contract with us as
a connecting line to transport all ma
terial over our road. The Utah & Pa
cifiC was the key to the situation. Now
our people have bought the Utah &
Pacific and it is utterly impossible for
the Clark people to fill their part of
the agreement with the county under
which they secured the option. The
Short Line has assured the county that
it will make a fair settlement of the
back taxes, and that is all the county
wants
We are laying a mile of track every
DAY" continued Mr.. Calvin. with a
force of $50. The county authorities
have served notice on both comDauies
or force, and there will be nothing of
that kind so far as we are concerned.
We viii build fOrty-five miles of track
Immediately, and by that time the
route beyond will have been selected
so we can go right on to California
We have already let contracts for ties
which viii take us beyond the forty
fiVe-mile point"

CLARK GRADERS
ARMED WITHGUNS
Party Of Fighters Sent Down
to UVada.
GOING TO USE SHOVELS,
SAYS MR.. WHITTEMORE
Ex-PugiIists and ex-POlicemen
Get So Per Day.

The san Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake Railroad company sent queer
lot of graders out of Salt Lake last
night under orders to proceed to Uvada-
They have no further instructions, 50
they say, as yet. The personnel of the
party. so far as could be learned, is as
follows:
Young Christy. pugilist; Jack Con-
ley. pugilist; Horace Heath, eX-polce-
man; Thomas Everill, ex-polieeman;
Joe Busby, ex-deputy sheriff; Mr.
Howell aX-oficer of the law, and six
others, names unknown.
The party left on the Short Line train
at $50 last night. Some had blankets.
and some if not all. were armed one
of the crowd displayed two big SIX
shooters and said he was on the safe
side. These graders are TO receive
IS per day and expenses
Attorney G. Q. WhittemOre stated
last evening that the men are going
down to work with picks and shovels
for his company on the grade
He secuted the idea that they were
going for any other purpose e
want to obey every law said he we
have ordered all our men to display no
violence or force. We are sending men
who understand the law, to make sure
that nothing viii go wrong. Since /
more teams have been engaged to
work on the grade, AND we must have
men for them. There will be a pick
and shovel or a team for every man
who went out of here tonight, and that
is the only work they are to do. We
are not starting any trouble
Mr.. WhittemOre was in cOmmunica-
ton with Vice Presidents J. Ross Clark
and T. f Gibbon at Los Angeles yes
terday. He also received word from
r. c. KerenS of St. Louis. His in
Structions are to protect every right Of
the company in this country, and he
has full authority to act on all ques-
tiOns pertaining to the grade dispute.
There mas been no plan of action de-
cided on by the Clark people, he says,
but for the present they will push work
on the grade and let the other fellows
lay track as long as they want to.
In ali probability there viii be a
meeting of the directors Of the san
Pedro company next Monday. The
meeting may develop some plan of
campaign.

ing the years 1859 and 1860, and was
also the emigration agent for the
church in that territory during that
time.
While on this mission in October,
1859, he was chosen an apostle, to fill
the vacancy made by the death of Par
ley 2. Pratt. and on his return home
ten months later was ordained to that
Office. This was Aug. %, 1860. when he
was but 33 years of age. He had been
an apostle therefore, for forty-one
years last August.
Soon after his ordination President
Cannon was ordered upon a mission to
Great Britain, and reached Liverpool
before the year was out, but before he
left Salt Lake he established the church
printing office in this city. On his re-
turn in May, 1852, he was sent 10

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under
The Sun"

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
IARRH by the use Of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
Iorm. Their powders dry up the mu-
cuous membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made close study and
speciality Of the treatment of CA
TARRH, has at last perfected a Treat
ment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures CATARRH, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges and cur
ing all Inflammation. It is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This won

impression upon his hearers. His words
gIowed with love, sympathy and ten
derness born Of the Holy Spirit and
breathed a blessing upon all who
heard.
The cause of aged ministers was pre-
se1ted by Mrs. Bean. DIR. Bonar, as
sistant secretary of the Foreign Mis-
sion Board, then gave an ADDRESS in be-
half Of his WORK. He impressed upon
the ladies the fact that the financial
idea regarding missions should never
be given the precedence, but should be
merely the outcome Of educational and
spiritual progress. Let the spiritual
and inner life be fertilized until the
harvest comes in the form of liberal
and generous giving" was the gist of
his argument, and those who heard re-
ceived much light regarding their du-
ties as members of a missionary So
ciety. he maGe a special plea that
Christmas offerings be made in behalf
of China. A duet by Mrs. Strickland
and Mrs. Butler was the next number
on the program, and the sweetness and
pathos with which it was rendered
added much to the interest Of the meet
ing. Miss SpaldIng then gave a most
instructive talk on MISSION band work.
Helpful suggestions and plans were
given as part of her personal expert
