Former Police Chief Given a Deputy
ship by Revenue Collector.


At last it has developed what Thomas
Fl. Hilton's portion is for permitting
himself to be unmade chief Of police by
resigning the office. as he did recently.
At the time Councilman Eardley. Cot
treH, Spence and Robinson withdrew
their support to Chief Hilton in Mayor
ThOmpsOn's effort to have him removed
from Office il was generally believed
that the chief was assured something
in the way of a consolation prize before
he would consent TO have the four
councilmen named leave him to what
appeared to some an unmerciful fate.
This view of the situation was enter
tanned as soon as it became known that

which moved Mr.. Hilton to resign the
police chieftaincy. Mr. canister. as col
lector of internal revenue, announced
that he had been allowed by the de-

other deputy. With this information
came the further announcement that he
had appointed Mr.. Hilton TO the addi-
tional deputyship provided for him.
Deputy Collector Hilton will be out

are not complying strictly with the re-
quirements of the revenue service of

SENATOR KEARNS WANTS
WORK COMMENCED
Especial to the Herald.)

Washington, May 31-Senator
Kearns is making an effort to have the
Indian office commence the work of
building the Indian school at Pam
guitch, appropriation of $50, 600 for
which was provided by the last con-
gress.
Delay in commencing the work has
been occasiOned by the fact that the
title to the land proposed as a site for
the school must be coded by the state
Of Utah to the United States govern
ment, and this can only be done by an
act Of the state legislature. Senator
Kearns is endeavoTing to have the In
dian office proceed with the school
building, relying upon the next Utah
legislature to make the cession Of the
lands.

one Of the most desolate places IN

deposit Of rock salt, fifteen miles in
length and from one and half TO
three miles in width. There is not a

crops out Of the earth, and anywhere
in this section rock salt can be OBJ
