nesses For the Collect En-
beZzIement Case.

Vernal Utah. Nov 26.-United States
Marshal Ben Haywood arrived in town
yesterday TO serve subpoenas in the
Collett postoffice case. which comes up
before the federal grand jury next
week. Five of the six bOndsmen have
received summons to appear as wit
nesses in the case, as follows: Z. W.
Davis, James Hacking. ]. S. Hacking,
w. II. Coltharp and William Siddoway.
There viii be several witnesses in ad-
dition TO these. Collett will leave in
the morning TO face the charges made
against him. The statement recently
made through the press that he will
again apply for the postoffice is not
taken seriously here. although there is
a general tendency 10 be as charitable
as possible in the matter. Collett him
self evidently begins TO feel the serious
ness Of the situation i'm which he is
placed, but hopes he. will be able to
square himself before the grand jury

admit of opening the reservation on
Oct l. 1904. Congress then extended
the time to March 10, 1903
At the close of the last fiscal year
many of the contracts We're completed
and inspection was in progress. Ii is
believed that all the surveys win be
executed and allotments made before
the end of the calendar year. so that
the opening may take place at the time
appointed. The only contingency that
may arise, and it is one that accom-
panies all public land surveys. is that
the surveys may upon inspection be
pronounced defective in some particu-
lars and require correction in order to
conform to the requirements OF the
manual. but as extraordinary precau-
lions were taken. contracts for this
work only to reliable surveyors, it is
thought that few erroneous surveys will
be made
Work Was Extensive.
The work OF the Utah surveying dis
trict has been unusually large this year,
owing to the preliminary surveys re-
quired for the opening Of the Uintah
Indian reservation
The sum Of $4,000 was apportioned
10 Utah for regular surveys. There
were 3.74S miles of lines. embracing
f,0S2, coo acres of land, surveyed and
approved by the surveyor general
The Indian reservation surveys con-
tracted for amounted to 1874. 600, and
there were eighteen contracts let for
the work. At the close of the fiscal
year all the contractors were in the
field. and many Of them had completed
their surveys In order to expedite the
work, three examiners of surveys We're
assigned to inspect it.
The mineral department Of the sur
YeyOr generals Office is one of the most
active OF all the districts. as is shown
by the record of 632 orders for surveys
of mineral claims and deposits for office

ing to SIS. 795.
The surveyor general renews his rec
concentration for the examination Of
mineral surveys and restoration of min

The efficiency &c the forest ranger
system is shown by the marked de-
crease in the number and extent of
fires within forest reserves. During
the last fiscal year there were extin-
guished 23i fires which had pc ssed the
incipient stage when discovered The
area burned over before The fires were
put out. aggregated 1887 acres. and
the cost of extinguishing them. exclu-
Sive of the salaries of the forest re-
serve employees. was A,127 This is a
decrease from the prior year of forty
eight in this class of fires. a decrease
in the area burned over of Ice. 917 acres
and a decrease in the extra cost of
S2.036. The large decrease in the area
burned over is partly accounted for by
the fact that the large fires i'm the
Mount Rainier forest reserve i'm Wash

129 01S acres.

Educated at the university of Oxford.
Came to America in 1747, and lived
for so years in Davies Hollow, in this
township, until his death, 10 May, 1897.
He founded this parish and gave

Extract from the deed of gift of
John Davies, Esq, of date, % January,
1874:
! Know We, that I, John Davies of
that part of Washington formerly be-
longing to Litchfield, and known and
called by the name Of Litchtield for
the consideration of an agreement or
promise with and to my honoured faith
er, John Davies, late of Birch Plains
in said Litchfield deceased, and for
the love and affection l have and bear
toward the people of the Church of
England now in said town of Washing
ton, and for the securing and settling
the service and worship of God among
US. According to the usage of this
most excellent Episcopal church,
whenever there shall be one legally or
ganized in said Washington, and at all
times forever thereafter, l do there
fore, demise etc.
John Davies, Senior, the father of
the founder of this church, came to
this county in 1875, and was largely in
strumental in the building of the first
St Michaels church in Litchfeld to
which he gave the name and tract OF
land "to be held for the benefit Of the
minister Of the Episcopal church in
Litchfeld and his successors, yielding
and paying therefore one peppercorn
annually at or before the feast of Saint
Michael the Archangel if lawfully de-
manded.'
This interesting bit of church histo
ry, placed where all can read it, is an
excellent aeminder of the faithful few
who reared the church in Litchtelt
county and this wise and helpful gift
is appreciated by every member of thu
parish.
