HEAVY TRAIN.
That things had changed on the old
narrow gauge To0ele branch was evil
dent ere the accommodation train left
the Salt Lake depot at 7:i5 o'clock in
the morning. In the first place the
train was made up OF 10 cars, then the
baggageman did not appear TO hold the
sinecure that has been associated with
his lot for years past. Even at that
early hour In the morning he was per-
spring as he wrestled with an accu-
mutation Of articles and packages that
ran the gamut from dynamite to
canned goods bedding 10 cases OF beer.
The passengers who filled the three
coaches also were OF a different stamp
TO those who have been associated with
the remaining narrow-gauge line in
Utah. While Il is true that there was
sprlnkling Of farmers and sheepmen
there were also Italians. Greeks, khaki

BEER CASE APPEALED

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
is to be asked to pass upon the legality
of Primo beer licenses. An appeal is
taken from the decree of Judge Estee
in the case of Macfarlane ct al. VS.. w.
II. Wright, Treasurer of the Territory.
The Honolulu Brewery is the real party
defendant in the case, the appeal being
taken at the instance of that corpora
ton. Judge Estee declared invalid the
Primo beer licenses issued by Treasur-
er Wright, on the ground that there
was an unjust discrimination against
outside beer firms. The Hawaiian law
allows the Treasurer to issue licenses
for $3.50 per annum to vendors of home
brewed beer, while the regular liquor
license Is $1,000 a year. The suit was
brought at the instance of the Main
land breweries.
An injunction was granted restrain
ing the further issuance of licenses but
the saloons are still operating under
the old licenses, which do not expire
for SONG months.
