THE REASON GIVEN WORSE THAN
THE CRIME.

The Morning Post took over one col
umn Sunday trying to explain why it
advocated Russell for Chief Justice. Nine
words, to-wit: "Our Southern Railway
owners gave orders and we obeyed"
would have told the whole story. But
here is it's explanation, in part
ITO cut the story short, the Post pre-
ferred Gov. Russell to either of the two
other Republicans being considered for
the appointment, one of whom was APP
pointed, because of Russell's known
views upon the constitutional amend
ment, he having publicly in a speech pre-
pared by himself and read for him at
Chicago, and privately committed him.

to drag the judiciary down to a lower
level than in the days of Greasy Sam
Watts!
A few months ago the Post was pur-
pie in the face, swearing that it would be
Walter Clark for Chief Justice. Why?
Because it alleged that, in a public

which would unfit him for treating the
railroads with justice. And yet the paper
that traduced Walter Clark Git was or

owners) was enthusiastic in support of
Daniel l.. Russell for Chief Justice ct

bosses to support him-and for rea-

clares, Russell had privately committed
himself to the amendment as well as
made a speech Committing" himself as

The reason given for supporting Rus
sell for Chief Justice is worse than the
crime of wishing to elevate such man
to so lofty a position.

Iron Mountain, Mich, that before the
next ten years expire the state of
Utah will be the banner state
in the production Of iron

Mr. Jones has spent nearly twenty
two years among the iron ores of the
Lake Superior region and passed upon
the vast iron deposits near Cedar
City in Iron county, which were re
Gently purchased by p. H. Kimberley,
Of Sharon, Pa, and his associates for
the colossal sum of $2,250000. Mr.
Jones also stated that in 1893 he read
a paper before the American Institute
Of Mining Engineers at Montreal, Can
ada and at that time he predicted
that the iron output of Minnesota
Which was then less than 100000
tons year would reach 10000 900
tons per annum in ten years. Mime,

Jones, about 100000 tons of iron, so
that his former prediction has been
verified in nine years, and he feels
equally confident of the accuracy of
his estimate of the growth of the iron
industry in Utah
Continuing, he said that Mr. Kim
berley and his associates control more
and better ore than Mr.. Schwab' S
testimony accredited to the United
States Steel company in the United
States The outcrop, he says, shows
more ore in sight than do the five iron
ranges of the Lake Superior district
of the Upper peninsula and the Utah
deposits contain all the varieties that
are found elsewhere. The physical
construction of the Utah ores, he
says is equal to the old range ores
and not unlike the Mesaba They
contain homatte, limonite and the
blue specular varieties of the Me

the Utah ores, he says, will make a
