To the Front.

The Signal has used every effort
to force the claims of the Weiser-
Council Meadows route to Thunder
Mountain upon the public abroad in
way that could not be ignored, and
we are very much gratified at the re-
suits. Many of the important metro
politan journals are at last recognize
ing the supremacy of our route and
are giving us full justice in their i'm
mense calculations. Within the past
week Thunder Mountain, Warren,
Meadows, Council and Weiser have
been honored with half page articles
in the Salt Lake Tribune and Port
land Oregonian and the story was
told in terms that we can fully en-
dorse, and each was accompanied by
illustrations and maps showing the
route from Council The article in
the Oregcnan was in the shape of an
interview with Mr.. P. P. Shelby, who
was 10 Portland last week, and be
gave the Portland paper one OF the
best articles that has yet appeared

THE TWO CANDIDATES
JACK ATKINSON FOR THE
LEGISLATURE.
Republicans Likely to Name Him to
Enter the Field Against Beardslee
In the Fourth District.

The Republicans of the Fourth dis
trict are now talking of A. l.. G. Atldn-
son as their candidate for the legisla-
ture and 1t is quite likely that he Will
be nominated when the committee
meets again. So far he has been the
unanimous choice of all who have dis
cussed the proposition. Atkinson is a
well known young attorney, son of the
superintendent of public instruction and
is regarded as a strong candidate per
sonally
with the prospect of a contest for
votes f. w. Beardslee and Jack Atkin-
son, the political situation has sudden
ly become livelier, and interest will
greatly increase in the special election,
for both candidates are men who Will
go into the contest in earnest if they go
into it at all and there will be Vigo-
rOus canvass for votes.
The Home Rulers are bidding for the
labor vote in putting up Beardslee, VINO
has affiliations with the Builders EX-
change. His nomination is regarded by
Republicans as a shrewd plan but there
is confidence that Atkinson can hold the
vote that made the district strong
Republican district in the last election.
Talk Of lettinS the election go by de-
fault appears to have ceased, in view
of the action Of the Home Rulers ana
Breadslee's bolt" from the Republican
party
The Democrats are likely to keep out
of it. They have had no meeting recent
lv and some of the leaders incline to the
view that il is not worth while to go
TO the trouble of putting up man. W.
S. Withers is the probable choice If a
candidate is put up at all.

ETRURIA SAVED THE DAY.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Iii ne
breakdown of the Cunard liner LruHai
on the Atlantic a FEW days ago saved
the day for the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany of this city. Its steamer Ventura
bringing contract mails from Australla
and New Zealand for London arrived
here Yesterday morning, two days be-
hind schedule time, and under ordinary
circumstances a special train Woulu
have been necessary, at least a part Oh
the way across the continent in order 10
catch the steamer leaving New YORK
next Saturday for England. But the
misfortune lat overlook the Etrurla
disturbed the schedule of the man
steamers to such an extent that the
Ventura's mail from the colonies WllI
reach London as early by ordinary
transportation from this city as would
be possible by special train across TINS
country.
The Ventura's delay was caused en-
tirely by rough weather and head seas
Her time from Sydney was tWenty-tWIe
days and ten hours; from Auckland
eighteen days, ten hours and twenty
seven minustes, and from Honolulu, SIX
days ten hours and forty minutes.
