WORK ON SEWERS Is PUSHED RAPIDLY Construction of Jefferson Co.'S
 Great Trunk System FOUR MILES COMPLETED Contractors Assembling Material for Work on Village Creek Branch.
 Section Below Ensley to
 pa p,,iI4 a+ nnre
FOUR MILES COMPLETED

Work on the Jefferson county sanitary sewers is being pushed forward rapidly to completion, and it is expected that the entire sewerage system, which ss an enor- nous enterprise, will have been com pleted within sixteen or eighteen months time. Four miles have already been fin- ished.
 The contract has been let for the con- struction of the Village creek branch, and the contractors. Wright, Williams and Watley, are now distributing material along the line of the sewer, preparatory to going to work at once. This sewer extends from East Lake to a point below Ensley. It is to be run parallel with Vil- laee creek on the south side, until East Thomas is reached, and at that point the sewer goes under the creek, near the Frisco railroad crossing, proceeding thence to Ensley.
 Concerning Connections.
 It is expected that the matter Of the county authorities requiring the officials of the towns along the sewers to make. connection as soon as the system Is com pleted, will be taken up shortly. Along the Village creek sewer the mayor and aldermen of Ensley Is the only municipal board to act so far. The county sanitary commission will instruct the contractors to build that part of the Village creek sewer below Ensley immediately in order that the Steel City can be connected and properly drained. This will probably be done within a months time, and Ensley will then have a complete sewerage sys- tenn of it's own.
 Under the act of the legislature creat- ing the Jefferson county sanitary com mission, there is a provision to the effect that the commission can require munich palities to pass such laws providing for bond issues to secure funds with which to erect sanitary sewerage systems to con meet with the trunk sewers.
 Towns to Be Drained.
 The Village creek sewer will drain the following towns and localities: East Lake, woodlawn. Avondale, Kingston, East Birmingham, Boyles North Bir- mingham. Thomas, Pratt City and Ems ley.
 Birmingham, Elyton, Owenton, West End, Powderly. Brighton and intermedl- ate points will be drained by the Valley creek sanitary sewer. Birmingham Is ready to connect whenever the system Is ready while the city of Bessemer is now being drained by branch line construct ed by the sanitary commission.
 Secretary k. B. Smyer of the sanitary commission stated yesterday afternoon that he was well pleased with the pro- eress made on the work Of construction. Already about four miles of the trunk sewer has been completed and the com tractors are hard at work, said he. aBlack & Laird, the contracting firm having in charge the work of constructing the lower end of the Valley creek sewer have two brick layers who, I think, break the record They can lay, working to- gether, 1000 brick in forty minutes. It is really worth a trip down to the line of work to see these brickmasons at work

Mastodon Mining.

Mining for mastodons is one of the new industries of the Klondike. Verify it is a novel and interesting sight. William Foster, of Dawson, &C., cording to the Dawson News, has just returned from a sixty mile jaunt to the find of mastodon bones on Quartz creek. He describes the skeleton and his journey to it as follows:
 We climbed down ladder in the shaft 3S feet deep, and groped our way through the drifts with lighted candles for about 150 feet, when we came upon his royal highess at the end of this drift.
 He was facing with his head in a horizontal position at about three feet above the floor of the tunnel and look ed to me as if he might have kneeled down on his front legs when he had some thousands of years ago given up the ghost.
 One of his tusks was still frozen fast in the roof of the tunnel while the tusks and the fore part of his head were suspended in the open space from which the gravel had been removed after thawing it out with ordinary steam points.
 The tusks are about six feet long and seven inches in diameter where they are firmly embedded in the sockets of the skull.
 They are curved upwards and taper gradually to their upper ends, which are about two inches thick.
 The sensation of meeting this silent monster of prehistoric origin in such place, associated with gold in the frozen gravel, is something so novel, so interesting and aSe-inspiring that I cannot begin to describe it.
 The specimen is indeed almost per feet, so far as the skeletouis concerned, although there is no hide nor hair so far in evidence.

Saved by a Light.

A blizzard sweeping down the Una laklik river, with the fury only known in the Northland, made the three mush- rs seated in the comfortable sitting room of the Unalaklik mail station content with their housing while tales of the trail were passing around. In the midst of an interesting story the proprietor donned his parka and, light ing a masthead light, hoisted 1t upon pole kept for that purpose. Upon his return he explained that although he did not expect anyone to be out, some one might possibly be. Three hours later man covered with snow and with a pack on his back staggered into the sitting room. No word was spoken; all knew what was the matter. Quick hands relieved him of his pack and poured restorative down his throat. A hasty but thorough examination showed him not to be frozen, only ut terly exhausted. After eating and rest ing for while he explained that he had quarreled with his partner on the portage and travelled all day, hoping to make here by night, but the blizzard caught him and he wandered around for several hours, until finally he was about to give up, when he caught sight of the light; his courage was renewed and he found his way to safety. The mans name is William Ready, and he is now in St. Michael. These facts are given, not for the purpose of telling a story. but to call the attention of the non-traveliug public to the necessity of every roadhouse having a light burning from night to morning; not an ordinary lantern, because that blows out, but ships mast head light. This is one instance where light saved a mans life. Several more could be cited to the writer's own knowledge. Road house keepers may say that we have to pay taxes for the privilege of running roadhouse, and to get an expensive light and keep it continually burning is more than we can afford. This being so, some action ought to be taken that would relieve the roadhouses of their taxes, supply them with the necessary lights and make it a misdemeanor if caught after dark and no light burning. The government builds lighthouses everywhere else on the coast-why not iu Alaska?-Nome Nugget.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany's Valencia is to be placed on the Southeastern Alaska run again for at least two voyages. This is done to help handle the freight for that section. The shipments to Southeastern Alaska just now are unusually heavy, every vessel leaving for the North having full car go. The Valencia is at present in San Francisco. She is scheduled to sail Tuesday with a cargo of salt for this port and Tacoma. With the comple- tion of her two Southeastern Alaska voyages the Valencia will probably be placed on the Nome run.-Post-Intelli- gencer.

Bullen Talks.

II Bullen Jr. returned from Salt
Lake Saturday evening, having re-
NAMED over to attend meeting of the
Staue Central Committee. Chairman
Spry met with the committeeman,
and Judge James A. Miner was APP
pointed an elector in place of ID. II.
Cannon, resigned. Mr.. Bullen says
that the general feeling is to the
effect that the Republican ticket will
win without much trouble. The
Tribune crowd Is awfully sore, he
said but Joe Lippman said that the
ticket would win all right, that
enough democrats would come to it
to make up for the slump in Republi-
can votes. Mr.. Bullen is of the
opinion, however, that the Tribune's
attitude will not seriously effect
matters. The Tribune following can
not hope to carry much more than
the Gentle vote there, and the big
gest men among the Gentiles are
against the Tribune crowd, In his
opinion the only real dissension is in
Salt Lake county. The Weberites
are sore, but not beyond recovery.
Mr.. Bullen says Moyes takes his de-
feat with better grace than any man
he ever knew. In speaking Of the
"church influence" used, Mr.. Bullen
says Wells does not believe that he
owes his defeat to that, and so ex-
presscdhimself TO Cutler in his hear
ing. Mr.. Wells says it was Smoot
that defeated him but not i'm the
sense Of churchman. Mr.. Bullen
says that he has heavy work ahead OF
him now and that he will not be par.
ticularly active in Cache politics this
fall, that he will lend what influence
he can to help the party to success
but will not interest himself in the
selection Of candidates.

WAYS OF WILD CREATURES.

real minnow impaled on a fight of
hooks or a manufactured thing re.
sembling a minnow the fish is moved
less by desire to eat than by de.

trout, like a pike, will leave a whole
shoal OF minnows undisturbed, and
rush at an impaled minnow, or a phan.

Sunday Services.

The Sunday afternoon service at the
Logan tabernacle was of their usual
character, Elders Weber, Jas. McNiel
and Robert Anderson talking to the
assemblage. The choir sang "Lo the
Mighty God appearing" followed by
prayer from James Quayle.
ELDER WEBER
is returned missionary of the Fourth
ward and said that he left Salt Lake
city in November 1901, for a missi n
to Switzerland, returning last July.
While absent he had spoken but little
in the English language, therefore
asked the sympathy of the audience.
While abroad he had baptized thir-
teen persons into the church. Elder
Weber was of the opinion that mis-
sionary can accomplish little without
the aid of the Lord, His power hav-
ing been manifested in his behalf on
many occasions. He had met mary
good people who do not believe as We
do. but believed that they are honest,
good and sincere and all such will be
rewarded for the good deeds perform
ed. He said strenuous effort is be-
ing made in Germany to expel the
elders. Many false reports are abroad
concerning Utah, the effects of which
have to be met by the missionaries.
The promises made by Apostle Teas
dale before leaving for the mission
field were literally fulfilled in Mr..
Weber's case. The speaker admoniSh-
ed the people to live Alright that l
may have the approval of the Lord.

PREACHED HIS TWO SERMONS.
How Scotch Minister Admin stored
Spiritual Food to CONGREGATION,


A Scotch minister tells of an old.
fashioned brother of the church who
insisted on preaching two long ser.
mons every Sunday. This feature in
his character he exhibited in the win
ter months to very trying extent.
During the rest of the year there were
two services, at IL and 2 o'clock, sep.
arated by an interval of an hour or
more, but when the days were short,
as many OF his congregation came
from considerable distances, it was
desirable that they should be able to
reach their homes before it was dark.
But 1t was not only desirable but i'm
peratiye that they should have two
sermons. This was accomplished by
having only one meeting, 3eginning at
IL O'Clock, and doing away with the
interval. There were then two ser.
mons separted by the singing OF a
short psalm.

in being called to address the au-

that he believes there is much room
for improvement amongst the Latter
day Saints, there being far too much
slandering, backbiting and finding
fault with each other. He said this
is not in accord with the Gospel and
it should cease, if the people desire
the approval of the Lord. We assume
that we are the chosen children OF
the Lord, but the actions of some do
not bear out this statement. Our
lives should be always consistent with
