Pocatello Business Men Arranging
One From Their Town.

On Thursday evening, says the Po-
catello Tribune, there was a special
meeting of the directors of the Chamber
Of Commerce, the special subject up be-
ing the desirabllity of asking the Ore
gon Short Line railroad for an excur-
sion from Pocatello to Mackay at some
time I'm the near future. In the alb
senee of President DIETRICH the meeting
was presided over by First Vice Presi-
dent j. G. Weeter, and as II developed
that the board was unanimous on the
question of the excursion, Mr.. Weeter
and the secretary were instructed to
communicate with the officials OF the
Short Line as TO details. Accordingly
the matter Is now in Mr.. Platts hands
and was today forwarded to Salt Lake
with a favorable recommendation.
This excursion is bound to be sue
cess, The construction OF the Salmon
river railroad will prove 10 be one Of
the most potent agencies In the build
Ing UP OF Pocatello, and there are plen-
ty OF people here who desire TO see the
new country. BY working up a public
excursion and furnishing full train
the people Of Pocatello will best show
their appreciation Of the good work of
tine Oregon Short Line in building the

Lost river country will furnish an inn
portant market for Pocatello, and this
initial excursion viii give our business
men an opportunity to size UP the pos
sibilities OF tie region. Every citizen
should cooperate with the chamber Of
commerce and with the railroad COM
pany in making II a distinctive success.

HE TOOK IT FOR A PICNIC.

A young Cleveland woman, who
teaches a Sunday school class, told her
small flock several Sundays ago about
the long journey Of the children Of Is
racl on their way 10 the promised land.
She described the march Of the column
through the wilderness and told how
the priests walked behind the vanguard
hearing their sacred burdens.
Last Sunday she thought she would
discover how much Of this lesson the
little fellows remembered. To her cha-
grin The first boy she asked remembered
nothing about II.
Come now. she said, some Of you
surely remember what the priests car
ried when they marched through the
wilderness"
But no one remembered until she

The fish that for several days had
led with longing the admiring eye Of

awakened a desire to have Utah's
streams and lakes filled with the finny
beauties aud Il is certain now that a
proper understanding by the people Of
necessary rules and regulations for the
preservation Of Utah fishery interests
VIII prevent the wanton destruction OF
thousands Of fish which has heretofore
characterized the methods of some fish

Officers of the d. a. & NJ society are
congratulated upon every side on ac-

achieved In the exposition just ended,

Mr.. Raynor then had the witness
scrutinize the letter which he had writ
ten to Admiral Schley Oct. g. and drew
from him the statement that he had
not informed the admiral that he had
not used the expression Damn the
Texas"
Then the witness was asked IL he
thought there was any suggestion Of
such an expression. He replied:
When | suggested to Commodore
Schley that there was danger OF coll
hiding with the Texas, he said; Damn
the Texas. He used the expression as
not In any way condemning the Texas
for being there, but as II he were irri-
tated as enc might be at anything.
Mr, Paynor then ASKED about the ex-
preston attributed to the witness:
"She VIII cut down the Texas"
Commander Hodgson replied that
there was no such expression In the let
ter and that he hid never said the

Continuing. he said that the dialogue
as reported was fictitious and that he
had denied lis verbal accuracy, while
not denying the truth OF part Of It.
He said that he had told Admiral
Schlsy that he need not repudlate the
entire statement and that he had not
understood him to request that he
should do more than deny its verbal ac-
curacy He already before writing his
explicit denial told the admiral that ne
could not deny the whole story. He had
given the newspaper reporter authority
originally 20 quote him as authority for
the gist Of the statement.

this report caused Capt. Lemly 10 offer

not pertinent and the court after con-
sutation sustained the objection. 9th

throw 100000 tons OF rock into the
