Governor Morrison made a very
serious blunder when he appointed
Reese Davis immigration commission
er for the state. He is making a bigger
mistake in permitting his appointee
to remain in the office in the face of
such facts as have become public.
Davis is a hard drinker. this the Cover

this is not all, the man recently got
an Jail at Salt Lake for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct and is still
keeping up his reputation along that
line. He is not fit person to dis
burse the ten thousand dollars that
was appropriated for his office and
the people will hold Governor Morri-
son responsible for the money. If he
fails to remove Davis and appoint a
competent person, he aud his party
must shoulder the burden. Davis il
totally unfit for the position and
should be removed, but the governor
does not seem to have the backbone
10 do his duty. That is one OF his
weaknesses.

There Is some talk of asking the
government to, donate ground in the
north least corner OF the Fort Sherm
reserve to the town for cemetary and
park purposes. A move had been
previously made to secure cemetary
grounds and there is no reason why
the request should not cover ground
for park purposes. There is no doubt
that Senators Hey and Dubois
and Congressman French would be
pleased to take the matter up and
push it through congress if the proper
request is made by our citizens. We
believe they would take pleasure in
securing the passage of law setting
aside suitable tract of land for the
purpose mentioned and we do not
know of public act that would be
OF more direct benefit than this. A
public park, place where the peopIe
can go for recreation, is one of the
incest things that can be added to a
town. The matter should be taken
mp with our representatives without
delay so that they will have time to
arrange bill to be introduced early
an the coming session of congress.

That some one Numbered in max

there is no doubt, and the blunder
cost the Northern Pacific any where

of people who went to the depot and
we're unable to secure transportation
Is variously estimated from 500 to
1000: Aside from the loss to the
