 CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.-On Wednesday afternoon the whole com munity was shocked by the sad news that the little four year old son of MT. and Mrs. Orson Nelson of Stafford had been burned to death while playing with matches, says the Solomonville Bulletin. His father had been having hay baled on the place and great deal was left lying around loose. The lit tie fellow gathered a large pile of the hay to make him a bonfire. When the hay began to blaze instead of running awey from it he ran into a barn door which was open just back of the fire There being no one on the place but the little boys mother. before help could reach him, life had vanished, his poor little body being badly charred. The bereaved parents have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in this great af1liction.
 THEY LIKE THE SOUTHWEST The following dispatch from New Haven, Conn.,, is printed in the New York Commercial: President E.. Huhinger, of La Proveedora Copper Mining Co.,, in Sonora, and F. D. Wet more, a director of the company, are expected back here from Mexico this week. They have spent a couple of weeks in Phoenix and in Sonora. MT. Eubinger. who is extensively engaged in mining in various parts of the coun- try, including Alaska, speaking of So- nora before leaving the city of Mexico, said he believed it to be great mining country. The figures given out by the mines show big production, but it is estimated that on account of the seven per cent. duty, five to the republic aiid two to the state, cne-third or the pro- duction is smuggled out of the country. Regarding his property, he said that the hoisting machinery would be put In at once. There are about 5000 tons of ore on the dump so that a smelter could be profitably employed, but the company has thought it best not to use up this ore, which is self huxing, but to save it until the sulphides are eD. countered.

C|F|C PLANS
There Is Very Little Doubt as
to George J. Gould's Con-
neCtiOn With the Road

The Salt Lake Herald of Saturday
has the following. supplementary to the
press dispatch Published in Saturdays
Silver State:
so0.e0e,00o n ortgage to secure a
bond issue of equal amount was filed
by the Western Pacific company with
County Recorder Meeks yesterday at
ternoon. The papers were filed by H.
L. Farsworth. cashier of the Walker
Bros. Bank, an agent in Utah for the
Western Pacific company, the proceeds
of the bond issue are to be used for
the purchase of existing railroads and
for the construction of new road be-
tween Salt Lake and San Francisco.
The action of the company in filing
disposal of the bonds is taken to In
dicate various actions at once in the
law of construction. The enterprise.
which is generally believed to be back
ed by George j. Gould and John p.
Rockefeller has been carried on quiet
ly. but in a manner to indicate that
it was to be carried through in a bu-
siness like manner and without delay.
Over $1,000.000 was spent for the ter
minals in San Francisco and several
small California railroads were acquir-
ed
Surveyors have been in the field for
about a year, gong over the entire
ground between Salt Lake and San
Francisco and is it understood that
they have completed their work suffi-
GENTLY to enable the board of direct
ors to determine the route to be ad-
opted for practically the entire dis
tance. This being the case. 1t Is be-
preliminary 10 active construction work
all along the line.
The Western Pacific is looked upon
as the westernmost link of George
Gould's protective coast to coast sys-
tenn. 1t viii connect at Salt Lake with
the Rio Grande Western. 1t Is ex-
pected that construction will bagin
from this end before long although 81,
official statement ON the subject is inn
possible to obtain. Already wol X
is in progress at the other end.
Although Gould has given an eva
sive denial that he is connected with
the road, it is known that Gould men
are directing the operations from be-
hind the scenes. Virgil G. Bogue. who
is Gould's consulting engineer. has
exercised general supervision over the
surveys . far made. Other Gould men
have figured quietly in the work from
time to time. The president of the
company is w. ]. Bartnett. of San

To LAUNCH PARK
ER'S bOOMLET
Series of Pink Teas Planned
to Promote the Candidacy
of the Judge

New York, Feb IA morning paper
tomorrow at the home of William F..
Sheehan the boom for Judge Alton B.
Parker for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency will be launched in
formal manner. In order that the
luncheon may not have the appear
ance of politics about IL many women
will be present and among them will
be leaders OF society. In just what
form the putting forward of Judge
Parker as the favored son of New
York for the presidential nomination
will be done has not been learned, but
it is known that the plan is to have
it done In a manner that will make
it significant and that cannot be mis-
understood.
Following the luncheon at the home
of Mr.. Sheehan, dinner for judge
Parker will be held. At that dinner
leading New York Democrats, repre-
senting every faction Of the party will
be present. Judge Parkers candidacy
will there be emphasized and it will
be made plain. If possible, that as a
candidate he will have the support of
the business interests Of the country.
/ These plans are a departure from
| those contemplated a fortnight ago
1t was then thought well to start the
Parker boom with big dinner at the
Metropolitan club, but that was ad-
vised against by wise politicians. who
/ thought that such a move might create
bad impression in some quarters. II
was then decided to place Judge Par
ker fairly before the country as re-
! ceptive candidate in a manner that
he is popular with all classes.
! Much work in a quiet way has been
done for Judge Parker. among his
most ardent supporters being Mr.. Shee-
! han and August Belmont. First to be
done, in the opinion of those mos
fpracticed in the arts of politics, was
to convince the business public thai
Judge Parker is safe man. 1t is said
that to this end his position on many
subjects of interest to the business
world may be explained at the Dime,
to be given after the Sheehan luncheon
at which Judge Parker and his wife
will be the principal figures.
There has been much discussion as
to whether in the advent of the nomi-
nation Judge Parker by the Demo
cratic national convention. his cam
paign should be directed by business
man with no political Affiliations OF
by a politician of the old school, such
as German or Smith. Some thought
1t would be better to make a complete
turn, placing the management of the
campaign in the hands of some
shrewd man better known in Wall
street than elsewhere. Other counsel
Is said to have prevailed, however
with the result that 1t has already
been decided. so 1t is said. to make a
compromise. and should Judge Parker
be his party's choice, his campaign is
to be directed by August Belmont,
who is closely connected with most OF
the great corporate interests and who
Is no novice at the game of politics.
