erection and TO magnify out of all rea-

that trade unionists may make"
Mr.. Mitchell refers to the extension Of
the conference method OF adjusting wage
differences into West Virginia. Missouri
Kansas. Arkansas. and the Indian Ter
ritory. which. he says. promises a long
period of industrial peace to miners and
operators. The Alabama settlement by
the board OF arbitration is mentioned
with satisfaction. and. summing up the

Increased Wages.
In all other districts in which mining

several years yet to serve as senator,

The platform reiterates the ssstand

for any tariff reform if the republi-
cans win out. This policy was
nrged by the manufacturers, who
are now consolidated into the var

asked for change in the tariff

machinery, vehicles, twine, ETC., but
the trusts won out.

Sheep and wool growers are all in
pleasant mood this season, having
obtained good prices for their wool
and an extraordinary large per cent
of lambs.
There have been some twenty cars
of wool loaded at this point this
week for eastern markets. The wool
is hauled direct from the shearing
corrals and loaded. oA the cars and
not piled up here as in former years
waiting for buyers.
A serious accident occurred here
ednesday whereby Clarence An
derson lost the little finger Of his
left hand entirely The young man
had gone out to the yards to catch
his saddle horse and attempted to
walk up to him quietly but was un-
able to catch him by this means.
He then procured long lariat and
threw a loop over the horses head.
The horse took short run around
the yard and Anderson's finger was
caught in a hitch in the new rope
he was using. severing it completely.
DR.. Guyon was called and dressed
the injured member and Mr.. Ander-
son is now getting along nicely.
A serious accident occurred here
Sunday evening when Herman
Trauntoine of Mt. Pleasant, Utah,
sheep shearer had the misfortune
to fracture his thigh. From what
your correspondent could learn of
the facts it seems that the unfortun-
ate man had been shearing at
Stoffers corral and had finished his
work. In company with several
fellow-shearers the belongings had
been packed and a start made for
town IN a wagon. The night was
dark and while coming down a hill
the wagon struck rock and threw
Mr.. Trauntoine out with the above
result. The injured man was picked
up and brought into town and DR..
Poynter called to attend him. 1t
was found that his thigh was badly
damaged and on the advice of the
physician he was taken to the hos
pltal in Salt Lake. It was also
learned that the unfortunate man
has wife and large family in Salt
Lake City and that they are in
Strengthened circumstances, making
the accident SO much worse. How
ever the boys here did what they
could in financial way to help
matters along.
