SCARCITY OF LABOR LIKELY TO
BE GREATER.
WORE ARE TO FOLLOW SOON

1--WE cars Of grading outfits left
Ogden yesterday over the Rio
Grande, bound for Salina. The
outfits belong to the Utah Construction
company. which has been awarded the
contract for grading the first twenty
miles of the Saiina cufs IN of the Rio

the outfits arrive and the men being
sent down can get the work started.
More outfits and men win follow.
The Utah Construction company ex-
poets to have at least 1000 men at work
in Salina canyon within a short time.
and the force will be increased later.
Another contract is to be let soon for
the second section Of this cut-off work,
and Salina viii be a busy place all
summer.
The beginning Of work at Salina in
creases still further the active demand
for laborers in Utah, and there is a
prospect Of a great scarcity. In fact,
there is already great difficulty in sup
plying the demand. At present work is
in progress on the Union Pacific
changes, on the Lucin cut-Off and other
changes on the Southern Pacific. on
the bennington CUTOFF, on rebanasting
for the Oregon Short Line and on the
changes on the main line of the Rio
Grande Western. Already several
thousand graders are at work on these
enterprises. When the San Pedro and
the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific be-
gin construction out Of Salt Lake. the
number will be vastly increased.

Tariff Abuses.

Chicago, May 6.-Executive officers of
western roads met here today to dis
cuss the rate situation. The Post today
says:
The object Of the meeting is to pre-
vent freight rates from going TO pieces.

injunction Of the federal circuit court
AS a matter of fact. since the injunc-
ton was entered outward obedience has
been rendered to the letter.
However. when road wants to Sc

st. Paul Makes Equal Rates on
Wheat and Flour.

Chicago, May 6.-The Chicago, Mil
'waukee & st. Paul road has placed ex-
port flour on a level with wheat in the
matter Of transportation charges. This
action, according TO the Record Herald,
which makes the announcement, will be
followed by all western lines with sim
liar rates, and means a saving of mill
lions yearly to the mills of the north
west.
For years past the miiiers have Wig
Orously contended that if the rates
were made the same on wheat and
-four, grain would not be taken from
the United States, but would be made
into -four here and then shipped for
export. Strong appeals for relief have
recently been made to President Roose-
welt direct, to congressional committees
and to the interstate commerce com
mission.

CAPTAIN PAUL AT HEAD
OF THE POLICE FORCE
Continued from page ID

Chief Paul was so surprised last
night when informed Of his appoint
ment and confirmation that he pleaded
he could not tell until today what
would be his policy in conducting the
affairs Of the police department. Cap
tain Paul said he was approached by
the mayor early in the year to learn if
he would consent to have his name sub
mitted for the police chieftaincy, but
he had heard nothing more about it,
and since the complications arose he
had abandoned all thought Of becom-
ing Chief Hilton's successor.
1t Is known that Captain Paul con-
scented to accept the appointment on
condition that the salary be made
larger. and this may be done If the
supreme court holds that Chief Devine
OF the tire department is entitled to an
advanced salary under a schedule
adopted recently.
Captain Paul is well and popularity
known in this city, which has been his
home for more than thirty years. He is
veteran Of the civil war, and for
long time after coming to Salt Lake
conducted with T. F. Muuoy the large
livery and transfer business which was
later merged into the Salt Lake Livery
& Transfer company, Of which he is
now manager.
Under Mayor Bsslxin, Captain Paul
served as chief of police, and for a time
while former Chief Pratt's tenure of
Office was a mooted question in the
courts, he again filed the Office. In
the opinion of very many OF the best
citizens of the town he made a most
creditable record at the head of the
police department
Captain Paul is one Of the heavy tax
payers on real estate in this city. He

Experiments Intended to Foster and
Develop Industry.
The United States is engaged in ex-
periments intended to foster and de-
velop the sponge-raising industry in
this country.
The only sponge state in America is
Florida, off the coast of which lie the
great sponge banks. OF late they have
not been yielding the quantity desired.
SO the United States fish commission
has set out to plant sponges in Florida
Keys.
AS yet their efforts have not been
rewarded with any great degree of
success. The sponges which they plant
refuse for some reason to grow, but
the scientists in the governments en-
ploy will not give up. The United
States fish commission ship Fish
Hawk is still cruising about Florida
waters, and the sponge scientists are
keeping right. on planting sponges.
By experiments which they are now
conducting they intend to demonstrate
at what depth a sponge can grow, and
they expect to explode the old theory
that fifty feet is the limit.

PEws BROUGHT HIGH PRICES.

In Washinaton's Exclusive St. Johns
One Sold for 1880
At an auction sale held Friday at
Sloan's auction rooms two pews In
St Johns Protestant Episcopal
church. Lafayette square, were sold
at big prices. Pew No. So brought
81, $50, while pew No. n was sold for
$1,000. While these prices may seem
large, in reality they are not, for 1t
is a rare thing for a pew in old St
Johns, which is the ultra-fashionable
church in Washington, to be had for
"love or money The church edf-
fice being SO small, the pews have Tor
years been most sought after, and
they have been attainable only OF
recent years by auction. Then they
are sold outright to the purchasers
and remain In family until that fam
lily either dies out or moves away
from the capital. Often pewholders
with small families sell a seat in their
pews for a certain number of years,
and even a single seat brings prices
away up in the hundreds of dollars.
1t has been several years since there
was a chance to purchase pew In ST.
Johns. The last one sold-at auction
of course-was during the Cleveland
administration. 1t brought a better
price than the two sold Friday on &C
count of its superior location.
There is a waiting list of persons who
desire pews or seats in st. Johns
which, If filed, would take up all the
seatings in a new church almost twice
the size of the present one.
Some years ago a Baltimorean
bought pew in st. Johns and gave it
to the church with the distinct under
standing that it was to be placed at
the disposal of the president of the
United States and his family. Presi-
dents of late years, however. have
rarely used this pew, for Mr.. Cleve-
land attended the Presbyterian
church, and so did Mr.. Harrison.
President Mckinley was Methodist
and Mr.. Roosevelt is Dutch Reform
er. Mrs. Roosevelt is an Episcopa-
liam, and she, with the Roosevelt
children, now occupies the presidents

The Value of Honesty.


William Alden Smith of Michigan,
In illustrating the value of honesty
In politics, told a story the other day
Of an old governor of Michigan, who
became a candidate on condition that
he should not be asked to make
speeches. An occasion soon arose,
however, when the regular ore tors
were absent from a meeting, and the
crowd insisted on hearing from the
candidate himself. He walked to the
front and bravely announced that he
was no speaker, with considerable
repetition, and after a little hating
proceeded to talk for three-quarters
of an hour. When the meeting was
over the candidate had quite come to
the conclusion that he was a speaker
after all, and especially did he feel SO
when an old farmer came up to him to
say that, although a lifelong Demo
crat, he had decided as a result of
what he had heard to vote this time
for the Republican candidate. Before
the latter, in his bushes, could STAN
mer out response, the farmer con-
tinued: What we want as governors
is honest men, You are one. You
said that you were no speaker. You
told the truth. 1 shall vote for you"
