guard Of laborers was shipped from

Of commencing immediate construction
on Il narrowgauge line from that point
for some 40 miles south to tap the
asphaltum beds Just who Is at the
back OF the building Of this branch line

nitely forthcoming. The only thing
known Is that the work is to be rush
ed and that the General Asphalt COM

points for men in a hurry.
The asphaltum beds. which are to
be tapped By this branch line, are some
seven miles I'm length and very rich,
but In order to reach them there is a
mountain range to be crossed which Is
some 1900 feet In height over these
mountains the line will be built, much
after the fashion OF the famous Salt
Lake and Mercur road. 1t is the nten-
ton to finish the grading OF this
stretch before the snow gets too deep
to retard operations, Hence the reason
of the activity and rush orders,
II is understood that the equipment
for this line has all been secured al
ready and that a number of narrow
gauge cars and locomotives have been
purchased from the Denver & Rio
Grande for the purpose.

CHINATOWN MAYOR
TO Be DEPORTED.
Chin Guam Chan of Plum Alley
Goes Back to China
Again.
HIS APPEAL WAS ALL IN VAIN.
Secretary of Treasury Upheld the YER
dict of Seattle Authorities and
That Settled 1t.

Chin GUAM Chan, better known as
Chin, the Mayor of Chinatown is to
be deported to China on the next boat.
Consequently Chin will not bring his
bride to Salt Lake as contemplated, and
the firm of Quan Wo Sine a Co., %
Plum Alley, will have to get along with
out its English speaking partner When
the news il broken In Chinatown there
VIII be various emotions, but possibly,
most of the Orientals will feel sorry
1t will be recalled that Chin left near
~ year ago TO visit relatives IN China
after an absence Of nearly 30 years.
Last May Chin stepped of the boat
at Seattle, the proud possessor of a
bride. Then a man in blue and brass
buttons, man devoid OF sentiment
forsooth, laid OBTAINING hand on Chin
and gathered him In pending investiga-
ton. Chin said he was merchant of
Salt Lake City. The man in blue said
he did not care n continental II he were
the Bungaloo Of TOoele as long as the
Chinese exclusion act was in force Chin
could not land and rove around the
country.
Following his detention papers were
forwarded to the United States mar
shaPs office here asking that Chln's case
w lfiNtSAlBalt lHdi was may ~ VI
this year Since that date Chin has had
n very anxious time. The deputy
United States marshal reported that
Chin was reputed member Of the firm
OF Guam Wo Sing & Co Of this city. The
entire stock Of this institution was val
ued Mt $500, of which amount Chin was
reputed to have invested 500, but report
had 1t that he had drawn this sum out
prior to departing for the flowery king
dom. In all there were seven part
ners In the firm.
In due course Chln's case came up in
Seattle and the verdict was that he
must go back to China. He appealed
his case to the secretary OF the treas
ury and the verdict was sustained,
The news reached this city on Satur-
day in the form OF communication
from Col Thomas NJ. Fisher, Chinese
inspector in charge at Seattle to U.
5. Deputy Marshal l., II. Smythe. Quite
a number of white people interested
themselves In Chn's case in this city,
but their efforts were apparently abor-
tive.

HOW THEY VIEW IT.
Stand Taken dy Rev. Mr., Goshen Not
Regarded as Orthodox.

The platform laid down by the new
pastor Of the First Congregational
church Is causing considerable comment
In evangelical circles, 1t Is claimed
by not few that MIR Goshen is lead
Ing his church directly towards Unitar-
lanism. His statement Of a week ago
that the divinity of Christ was not es-
sential where his life was considered, Is
regarded as q most marked departure
from orthodox paths; and apprehen-
sion is further heightened by the neglect
Of Mr. Goshen to in any way ally HIM
self with the Ministerial association, II
Is argued that with the divinity Of
Christ cut out, the main prop and stay
Of all evangelical faith is destroyed,
and Christianity then takes its stand on
an equal footing with the ethnlc re-
llgions The divinity of Christ Is the
All In All, the head Of the corner with
evangelical faiths, and this radical de-
parturo in the First Congregational
church Is being viewed with sorrow and
dismay in the other churches.

Papers on Church Work.

The Salt Lake Ministerial association
listened this morning to two papers
one from Rev. j. Rlchesen OF West

In Sunday schools. He urged that the
children be brought under Sunday
school influence at as carly an age

grow up to where IL is difficult to get
them interested In Sunday school work.
The second paper was by Rev w. B..
Burton OF the Second Methodist church.

His idea was that all of pastors en-
Hrgies are required for the routine ad-
ministration, the regular church work.
and that for extra effort such as Is re-

preachers or evangelists Is advisable
The pastors work should, however. be
preparatory to the coming OF such out
side assistance.
The association adopted resolutions
