cauy assured. Governor Wells at the

Colonel Rice of Park City says that
while there is no snow there TO SPEAK
If there is no end of icy roads and
this makes it hard work for heavy ore
wagons TO navigate. 1t is amusing Tor
Iookers-on to see the drivers Try 10
keen fine wagons from riding over the
horses on side hills, but it is nothing
very amusing for the drivers, or the
horses. either Colonel Rice ieelS JUS
tilted from the outlook in prophesylng
that Park City will this year put o ,.l
an amount of ore that will break the
record.
Manager P. J. Quealey of the coal
properties at Kemmerer was a guest at
The Knutsford recently. He does not
apprehend any interference with the
coal traffic from the possible use OF OIL
as fuel on Union Pacific locomotives
or elsewhere in this part of the coun-
try. as he says that S4 or even at 80
ner. ton the railroad company could
afford 10 use coal in preference to oil,
and the cost of coal TO the railroad
Ccmpany is even less than that Mr.
OueaIey said that the tonnage output
of coal this season from the hemmeref
mines was heavier than last year, only
il is so much easier this season to mine
the coal and respond to the demand
than last year, that last season s out
put appeared greater at first thought
With coal at present figures and easy
accessibility there is no danger of Wyo-
ming oil proving anything OF COM
petitor with the coal mines.
William Concreiffe. who is in this
country buying horses for the Engllsh
government. was in Salt Lake recently.
Mr. Moncreiffe states that the western
American horse has proven the best
kind of an animal for use in southern
Africa. as it is able to stand up pest
under the long and fatiguing marches
of the English cavalry after the fleet
Ing and elusive Boer. The officer says
that in the past year over 10000 horses
have been shipped to the Transvaal,
and the end is not yet.

pose to build a synagogue of their

Salt Lake City is soon to have an
other Jewish synagogue. The new
edifice will be the house of worship of
the orthodox Jews, who are distin-
guished from their brethren, the re-
formed Jews, in that their form of wor-
ship and their religious customs have
remained unchanged throughout ages
and have been transplanted here bodily
in detail from the old world.
