Some comment was occasloned Dy the

for the Salt Lake stockholders, and
gpeaklng FOR Heber ]. Grant & Co.. who
owned $4,000 Of the stock, | can say
we are under obligation to MIR. Cutler
for obtaining us so god price, as We
were willing 10 sell al sll5 share. In
asmuch as the final payments have not
yet been made by the stockholders a.
the final installment will not be due til
July /, a rs per cent advance on oul
money part Of which has not yet beer

good investment, within twelve

A large part OF the stock will con-
tinue TO be held in Salt Lake, though
Mr. Hills remains the only Utah dlrec

half expectation OF hearing a gutteral

instead there came a CHEEKY Come IN,

found himself being interviewed ana re-
duced to his Wits ends hunting over
his memory for data on the population
Of Salt Lake, what the "Mormons' be-
leve In, and the wealth OF Senator
Kearns.
Pretty soon. however, the conVersh,
ton was turned to Mr., Mansfield ana
his art, and he began by expressing
his appreciation OF the favor In when
the people OF Salt Lake held him and
he trusted they would never be led e
