CHANCE FOR CHILDREN
How They May Make Poor Boys
and Girls Warm and
Happy.

Here's a chance for every boy and
girl enjoying the comforts of a good
home to help some other boy or girl
who is not so fortunate.
The Salvation Army is preparing to
make its annual Christmas distribu-
ton to the poor of Salt Lake. Each
year heretofore it has given suits of
undertaking To poor children. A Ger
tain firm in the city has supplied the
Army annually with suits of under
clothing, and this year it was supposed
the same custom would be maintained.
Taking this for granted, the Army
notified a large number of poor chill
dren that they would be supplied this
year with warm Undertaking. But
the firm changed its gift, and sent jack
cts, gloves and other kinds of warm
wraps. These are really more valuable
than the undertaking. but they are
not what the Army promised the chill
dren. The officers of the Army admit
they acted hastil, and should have
found out what the gifts would be be
fore they made any promises, but. be
that as it may. they have promised
the poor children underciothing. and
they are ANXIOUS not TO disappOint the
little ones. With this in view, they
have appealed to the public.
1t is suggested. that those stores
which feel like contributing under
clothing might do so, as well as all
others who are so inclined, but an
especial appeal is made to children who
are supplied with the comforts of life.
There are hundreds of boys and girls
in the city who suffer with cold in the
winter time because they have insult
ficient Undertaking. Their sufferings
could be relieved if each boy and Girl
in the city having extra suits of I'M
derclOthing would take not a warm suit
from his or her supply and send it to
the Salvation Army headquarters, 80
Franklin avenue. The Army viii see
that the underwear reaches children
who need it. Thus any boy or girl
who makes a gift OF this kind may
know absolutely that he is making
some poor boy or girl of his or her
own age warm and happy. Clothing

MAUSS WAS OFTEN DED
lngratitUde and Deceit Bring
Upon Two Migrants Murray
Officers Vengeance.

Mike Mauss. city marshal of Murray
and a deputy sheriff Of Salt Lake cOUn-
ty. has troubles of his own. He makes
trouble occasionally, too, as a couple
of Migrants now in the county jail will
tell you upon application. These
Migrants were landed yesterday, after
various experiences, and upon these eX-
periences the strenuous part of Mr..
Mauss' existence recently has depended.
One of the tramps showed up at the
city marshals home just beyond Muir
ray the other day and pleaded for
bite TO eat. Mrs. Mauss gave it to
him. Fifteen minutes later the second
one appeared with a hard luck story.
He had but one arm. The officer. was
al home by this time and he provided
the crippled wanderer with a sandwich,
remarking that he didn't understand
why the father of triplets was expected
to feed the whole universe, but he
never yet had turned away a hungry
man.
BY way of signifying his gratitude,
the homeless individual threw his sand
wich into q neighbOring pasture. Mr.
Mauss heard of it. With blood in his
eye he hitched UP the old mare and
started in pursuit. Within the hour
he had both parties in the town lock-
up. While searching the armless cap
tive he discovered the missing arm
sleeve hung loosely a his side Mr.
MaUss was doubly angered at the re-
suit Of his exploration. He had the
men sentenced to fifteen days each for
vagrancy.
At noon yesterday Mr.. Mauss started
for the county jail on the Murray car
with his two prisoners. As the car
was somewhat crowded. the officer was
compelled to sit between one prisoner
and an old woman, leaving the second
prisoner near the rear end Of the car.
At the intersection of Third South and
Main, said prisoner left said car with
a crowd of passengers, thinking, as he
afterward explained, that the officer
had also alighted. Marshal Mauss
discovered the absence Of his captive
one block further on and after landing
the remaining prisoner in the Jail
started in hot pursuit of the escaped
vagrant. After more or less trouble
he met his man in a saloon on Com
mercial street, and tapped him gently
on the shoulder.
"Oh, there you are" exclaimed the
renegade, looking up in surprise. do
you know, Mr.. Mauss, L missed you and
have been looking all over town for
you? l thought you'd be along pres
entity. so I waited"
Yes you. did" replied Mauss, as
though he didn't believe it.
Another two minutes and Mr.. Buck
ner. as he gave his name, was a guest
OF the county. The other fellow gave
the name of William Evans.
The next time he has occasion to
bring prisoners to town. Deputy Sher-
if Mauss viii use a wagon.

MCCORMICK IS HOPEFUL
Thinks Copper viii Go Up and
Business Improve Doubts
as to Silver.

SilYers future is uncertain, but the
outlook for copper and lead, and for
business generally in Utah and else
where, is brighter, thinks ". S. Nc
Cornick, who has returned from a trip
OF several weeks duration to the
east.
THE best informed men in the east
are at sea as to the future price of
silver just a much as the people are
here" said Mr.. Mccormick yesterday.
The general opinion is that the low
price is due TO the heavy sales by China
in order TO pay her indemnity, and the
talk OF Mexico and some other coun-
tries going on a gold basis, as Siam has
done For my part, I do not believe
Mexico or China or any of these other
silver countries viii change their me-
dunn Of exchange, but whether silver
Will continue to go up. as it has this
week, is another question. which no
body can answer.
AS for copper. the prospects are
much more tangible and encouraging.
/ was told that il was practically GER
tain that the Amalgamated company
and the Calumet q Hecla would get
together very soon, the copper war
would be ended and the price of cop
per would go up. The demand is in
creasing and the outlook is bright for
strong market. Utah stocks are in
high favor with the eastern investors
and they have held up remarkably in
view of the recent general slump.
While there is no question that the
United States has gone through a crit
zeal financial period within the last
two or three months, the general feel
ing is that the worst is over and that
money viii be easier after the first of
the year. Between $3.50, 600 and $780,,
100000 will be distributed in dividends
next month. By that time also there
will be money coming in from the
crops, and the cash which was loaned
to move them will be flowing back to
the financial centers. General business
is good and l think there is no cause
for alarm"
Mr.. Mccormick was accompanied
home by his wife and daughter.

company versus the Employers Liabil-
ity assurance, the federal court yes
terday instructed the jury to bring in
a verdict for the defendant The plain
tiffs placed 1,45O worth of insurance
with the company to protect Itself
against damages to mining employees
amounting to $1,000. Abram Jenkins
and several other miners were injured
in a cage in the cOmpany's mines. The
insurance people settled with all the
parties excepting jenkins. The latter
brought suit against the mining COM
pany and recovered $1,000 and costs.
The case was appealed and the judg-
ment of the lower court was affirmed.
The plaintiffs brought action to recover
$4,000 Of the amount, but they were
defeated on a legal technicality It is
asserted that they failed to notify the
assurance company within the time

AGAINST THE PAVING
Several Residents on Brigham
Street Protest Against Pro-
posed Improvement.

Fifty residents of Brigham street,
representing over 1000 feet of AUDITING
property, entered vigorous protests
against the paving of that street be-
fore the city council last night. Out
or the total number present about one
half spoke against the proposed meas
ure, stating in the most vigorous terms
that they and the large majority Of
property owners were opposed to the
paving of the street.
~ Charles Crane, representing 1893 feet,
In addition to the other, was vehe-
ment in his opposition and took
occasion to intimate that the city
council was already so deeply involved
that it could not meet the obligations
of the city. He further stated that the
law enacted by the legislature reqUir-
ing a two-thirds vote to protest was
the most infamous on the statute books
and declared that each member of the
council should do his utmost to secure
its repeal
Representatives Of the Auerbach es-
tate, owning property on Brigham
street, east of Tenth East, the end Of
the suggested Improvement, also pro-
tested. Aside from the 1888 feet rep
resented by Mr. Crane and 552& feet
represented by the Auerbach estate,
beyond the proposed limit, there were
owners of Zip feet abutting on the
street who offered vigorous protest.
Not one of the original signers of the
petition asking for the improvement
was present to speak in behalf of the
measure. At the conclusion Of the open
protests the chairman requested to
hear any who were in favor of the paw
ing of the street, and was greeted with
profound silence. No action was taken
by the council last night with refer
ence to the paving of the street, for
the reason, it was stated, that the citi-

CALIFORNIA FOR HOMES.
The Best of Soil, Climate, Society
and Schools

California offers more attractions to
one seeking a place for a comfortable
home than any other place on the
globe. It's extensive area gives it an
almost unlimited variety of climate,
save that it has nowhere the intense
cold of the eastern winter, nor the cy-
clonic disturbances of the middle west.
It's soil is as diversified as it's eli
mate. Between the loose. friable.
granite wash of the Sierra valleys and
foothills and the black, rich adobe of
some of the interior valleys. there
may be found soils of almost any con-
sistency. all fertile and waiting only
TO be "tickled with the hoe to respond
with an abundant crop.
Thousands of acres of excellent land
nestled in charming valleys and run
ming far up on the foothills, with wa
ter to be had in abundance for the de-
VelOping, lie waiting the hand of in
dustry to convert them into productive
and pleasant homes. A half dozen
valleys could in three years convert 1t
into a veritable paradise. And from
the beginning the little colony could
be entirely comfortable, and almost
self-sustaining.
Such lands can be bought at a low
price, and if desired. on long credits,
while improvements are being made
The additional value conferred upon
the land by its improvement will be
materially enhanced b 1he natural
accretion of value always going on in
a new and growing country.
Nor viii such a place remain long
isolated and without the accOmmoda-
tons of older settlements. The school
law of the state is wisely framed to
provide for the new settlements. New
school districts are easily formed. and
the smallest of these has public money
enough to insure a good school for the
greater part of the year.
It is often thought that a man must
be already wealthy to secure a com
Portable California home. This is not
the case. A few hundred dollars to
begin with. backed by industrious and
frugal habits, will in an incredibly
short space of time build up a home
with all the comforts and many of the
luxuries of life. These lands are al
ready in the market and are gradually
being purchased. and it needs only that
the leading facts shall be generally
known to secure an immediate and
rapid addition to the hOme-makipg
population of the state.
