The storm broke this morning over
cha deliberations Of the Utah Methodist
minister's who are now In session at the
uo,b church, and the serene spirit
,hat has hitherto dominated the meet

what was said this morning 1t would

Teulch succeeded In pouring oil on

snces we're concerned the storm was
'n,lly abated. The unpleasant features
arose out Of motion made by Rev. Mr..
Nork 10 the effect that the Epworth
league Of the state be Induced TO hold
rs convention In connection with the
seml-annual meeting Of the Methodist
ministers. As soon as the motion was
made several objections were inter-
posed some urging that the young
people would not turn out at that time.
Dr Ieillch took the matter up first,
Affirming that the officers Of the league
AID not take into account the supetn-
tendent of the Utah mission or the pre-
- he Colt 4 oh IN "a piqt
implying by''thls declaration that the
league was losing Its loyalty to the
church. He then entered into a strong
plea for unity on the part of the league
and the ministers. The two factions
should be brought together. He be-
lieyed In alliance with the other Chris
tan churches but the Methodist minis
ters, he said, were here first to serve
God IN their day and generation and
then to advance Methodism.
According to the present custom the
state league meets In conjunction with
the Young peoples societies Of the other
churches. In annual convention, form
ng what is known as the alliance. The
system Of course would have to be
broken up II Mr.. Monks motion pre-
vailed 80 FAR as the league was con-

All the Same Price

Wall paper of the latest variety is

1t is direct from the factory and gives
the Carson people chance to keep

alton line. C1e of the best features
in the new stock is the greatly reduc-
ed price of that of other years and
another feature is the price of the
wall, ceiling, and borders are all the
same price. When the price of bor-
der was double that of the wall and
the ceiling it made papering a lux
ury. All the new designs are exhi-
bited and the prices compete with the
catalogue figures that are offered by
others. The public is invited to ex-
anime the full line that is shown,
and they will find that the prices are
in keeping with the times. The Fox
