$780, Mr.. Wells stated he thought the
man entitled to that sum and be-
lieved he would get more in a suit
at-law.
But the money was not voted. Black
wanted a man to go look at the horse,
and see if he was injured. He thought
the buggy and harness could not have
been damaged that much. Hewlett
took a stick in the debating game
and so did Fernstrom and Barnes, the
latter declaring the man who scared
the horse ought to be laid off for thir-
ty days as a horrible example. The
ancient councilman from over the
river declared he was not in favor of
delay If veterinary surgeon was
sent to look at the horse, some har-
ness man, like Black, ought to look at
the harness and some wagon maker
at the buggy and by the time these
experts got through the bill would be
more than the 500 asked for. The
affair was finally temporarily dis
posed of by laying it over for a week.

JOTS BY THE WAY.

In last Saturdays Truth appeared a
story about a man named Thomas OF
st. George clipping with his own wife.
Truth stated that as soon as the daily
papers discovered it, they would re-
produce it with big head lines. Mon
days Tribune fulfilled the prediction.
Well, it saves telegraph tolls to copy
news from Truth, but at the same
time we think the Tribune ought to be
generous enough to give credit for
what it scissors.

of commodities will be cheapened u
the consumer, because the large
houses in the big cities can send
goods to the people in any section OF
the country much cheaper than now.
People living at a distance from big
towns can buy what they want any
where in the country. The Kanab
man can get a suit of store clothes
from New York City as cheaply as the
farmer lad living outside the town OF
Elyria, Ohio. OF course such an in
novation would result in the cutting
of prices by local retailers in order to
meet the competition thus established,
hence the kick.
AS a general rule people like to
trade at home, but when we get it in
the neck as hard as we do in this
western country, it is small wonder
we ask for relief. Take breakfast
bacon, for instance. We pay % cents
for the same article the New Yorker
gets for H. Don't try to contradict
this, because the writer knows; he
has been in both places and investi-
gated. Price currents may. show Il
different state of affairs, but this in
formation has been derived from con
versations with the man at the block
who did the slicing. Presenting that
bacon could be mailed by parcels post
would it not be an advantage to the
consumer to buy ten pounds in Chi
cage at II cents and pay ten cents
postage to Salt Lake, or $1.10 in all,
than to pay $500 here? If England
can send ducks, geese and chickens
by parcels post there is no reason
why the United States of America
should not send bacon. A suit of
clothes costing S2250 in Salt Lake is
sold by the manufactures at $3.50. I'm
der a parcels post we could get this
suit of clothes for about $40. Then
most of us would have two suits in
stead of one The rule that applies to
clothing applies to almost every arti-
Gle made. 1t might work a hardship
on some retailers in certain lines, but
who are the retailers when the great
army of consumers are considered?
The vast number who pays the bills
ought to have a little something to
say when the measure calculated to
benefit them is under discussion. The
parcels post ought to be established.
Other countries have tried it with
good effect. 1t has been in operation
in England for more than 20 years
and has proved to be a veritable boon
to the common people.

MORAN GETS THE WORST OF 1T.

p. J. Moran was given the hinky
dink by the city council at it's meeting
on Monday night, that organization
standing by the opinion of the city at
torney, who decided that the order for
certain water main extensions given
by the Board of Public Works to be
done by Moran, was illegal owing to
the fact that the money for the con-
struction of the same has not been
paid in. The council ordered the board
to rescind the order for the work.
Moran contended that this work
should have been given him under his
blanket contract for the year 1905,
and there was opposition in the coun-
Gil at once, which caused the sending
of the papers in the case to the attor-
ney with the result above noted. The
matter will now be fought out in the
courts.

BRINGS ON YOUR DAMAGE SUITS.

BY It's action Monday evening, the
city council has declared in favor OF
fighting all damage suits filed against
it. instead of compromising on what
the city attorney, and the claims com
mittee may consider reasonable terms.
Some time ago Mrs. Sarah Abbott,
venerable lady with the inflrmities OF
age impeding her progress through
life stumbled over a grade stake,
placed by the city engineer to mark a
sidewalk. She was very seriously in
jured and is yet sufferer from the
effects of the fall. She filed claim
against the city for $4,000, which was
referred to the city attorney and the
claims committee. These gentlemen
reported in favor of compromising
with the old lady for $500, she having
agreed to accept that sum in settle
ment of all claims. The attorneys Of
flee arranged for the compromise in
regular form. But when the matter
came up it was vigorously opposed
by Hewlett and others and was sent
to the table. HOLIDAY voted to send
it there, although he was one of the
men making the report. He declared
he was tired serving on a committee

the claims committee did It's mem
bers had held several sessions on this
matter and had been at considerable
pains to secure evidence. They were
satisfied the woman had a good case
against the city and If it went to trial
believed she would secure a heavy
verdict. But If the council wanted
damage suits he was willing to let 1t
have them until it got its belly full.
Another case which came up and
went over for week was very funny
in some respects. The owner of a
good horse, with much mettle in its
make up, tied the animal in front OF
the Herald building. One of the old
pensioners who go about with little
carts doing a street sweeping act; the
venerated white wings" of Salt Lake
City, came down the ditch, pushing. a
wire broom, along the gutter with the
volume of water just turned in from
above and frightened the horse. The
animal plunged and snorted, but the
ancient street cleaner paid no atten-
ton, but showed his broom right along
until he got to the horse, and then
ended his task by hosting his broom
on to his shoulder, which finished the
lob. The horse broke his tie strap,
ran away, smashed buggy, tore his
harness off, and injured himself in the
legs to an extent that rendered him
unfit for use for some time. The
owner asked $500, but the claims com
mittee arranged a compromise for

COMPARISONS OF PRICES.

From the last number of the Utah
Commercial Advertiser we clip two
paragraphs. They are significant,
especially to us fellows who do the
buying for family use; who pay the
bills. Here they are, the first one be-
ing taken from the column headed
Wholesale Quotations" the second
from the column headed Retail Quo
tations."
Meats.-Dressed beef, per pound,
5h@GRc; dressed veal per pound,
Sc; dressed lamb, Sc; dressed hogs,
TIC; live, $500 per cwt; pork loins,
lc per pound; mutton 7@8c; mince-
meat, SR@9c; spring lambs, each

"Meats.-Prime ribs, 17Hc; porter
house, 1S@221ac; pork, 17Rc; mutton
chops, 10@15c; legs, 15c; lamb, $50
zoe per pound; veal, 10000; veal
loaf, SOC; spring lamb, $1.25@1.50 per
quarter"
Judging form the prices quoted we
should say that a man who retails
meat has better thing than a gold
mine. We direct the attention of the
Tribune to the fact, that the "hier.
achy' has no such graft. According to
the Tribune the hierarchy" is con-
tent with ten per cent. But Just com
pare the price on dressed beef, which
sells at wholesale at 51R and G15 cents
per pound and retails at 17b, Is and
221A cents. The writer does consid-
cradle buying of round steak (poor
mans porterhouse) and Judging from
the cuts he gets assumes that to be
at least 1G cents and other hunks in
proportion. Soup bones, that used to
be cheaper than stealing chickens, are
now luxury. Dressed veal sells for
s cents per pound, Wholesale, but Mr.
Retailer "lams" it to us for 5000
cents. He gets his pork at II cents
per pound for loins, but he charges
us liz cents for our chops. Spring
lambs are sold wholesale at $3.25. but
are retailed at $1.25 and $1.5O per
quarter, a reasonable profit to say the
least.
Now this is the sort of work that
holds back this town. Prices are toe
high on all things necessary for the
existence as well as the comfort and
happiness of the people. Coal is toe
high, lights are too high, rents are toe
high, clothing is too high How man
with a family, the wage Garner get

stand it? While the knockers dc
