St. James Episcopal Mission.

The pstronal festival Of st. James
Mission was observed on Tuesday
last. In the address at the evening
service the preacher gave most in
teresting history of the work from
the organization Of the mission. A
list OF the clergymen who have had
charge q the work was given and the
prominent features of their activities
were dwelt upon and quite number
Of statistics were quoted. Practically
st. James Day was the birthday of
the mission. The Revs. A. l.. Will
liains, Q. e. Ostenson and H. A.
Handel did the lions share of the
work. The first organized, the sec

debts and the third built the spacious

ture, erected the rectory and planned
for the rearing of Sunday School
building. This latter work is warmly
espoused by Bishop Spalding and it
is hoped will be carried to a trium-
phant close.

From the Vernal Express.

After all Vernal has not gone to
the demnition bow-wows. Gambling
has always existed here, and if we
may be permitted to venture guess,
it always will exist.
Suppose 500 strangers should visit
Vernal today. Where would they
sleep tonight? Many times that
number will be here before long.
Where will they sleep? Did you ever
stop to think of that? It's serious
matter. Make at least one spare
room in your house, even though 1t
crowds your family for few weeks,
for the accommodation of transients.
The Denver Post, in answer to an
inquiry, recently stated that regis
tration fee of $40 down and SO when
the claim was selected, would be re-
quired of all those who register and
draw for lands on the Uintah reser-
vation. This is not the case at all.
Inspector Linnen states that no fee
will be required. 1t will be neces-
sary however, for each applicant to
subscribe to an oath that he is quail
fed to enter land under the home
stead law. This will cost 25 cents,
and can be done before any notary
public.

The beef trust has sent delegation
to Washington to enter protest
against the methods employed by
the government officials In securing
evidence against that benevolent
band known as the beef combine. The
trust objected to the manner In which
the late federal grand jury ut Chi
cago secured discriminating evidence
against it (the trusD. It's shame
to subject the lordly beef trust to the
humiliating spectacle of giving evil
dence to convict itself of the crime
of robbing both the producer and
consumer. The government should
be careful lest it give offence to the
Armours, Swifts, and others of that
ilk. Approach them in an Alphonso
and CASTOR like manner.

Denver Cattle Market.

Denver Union Stock Yarks, July
24-With an abnormally light run of
cattle on all the markets, conditions
for the past week have been decidedly
slumpy everywhere. Packers are
full up on supplies and the beef de-
mand seems to have fallen of to al
most nothing. There is no question
but that the intense heat is largely
responsible for the present weak con-
dition. People will not light fires to
cook meat with the thermometer up
around 100 in the shade. Locally this
market has held up as long as posi-

Phillips County Treasurer's ONCE Is
Declared Vacant.

PhilIipsburg. Kas., Nov. 15.-The
commissioners of Phillips county met
in special session late Tuesday and de-
cIared vacant the Office of county
treasurer. which has been occupied by
Charles w. Bowman. By his failure
to appear in court in the afternoon to
answer the charge of forgery the
bond of $1,000, signed by his father
and his father-in-law, was forfeited.
This was in addition to the bond of
$1,000 forfeited through Bowman's
failure to appear in court Tuesday to
answer to the embezzlement charge.
Mrs. Bowman, who IS Frustrated
with grief, fears her husband may
have committed suicide. An alias
warrant for his arrest will be issued
and Governor Hoch may be asked to
offer a reward. A note left by Bow
man, who probably departed from
town last night, said he was unable
longer to face the disgrace OF the
arrest and that he could not remain
when the circumstances indicating his
guilt seemed so strong 1t has not
been proved that any shortage exists.

Tourist Cars PonnIar-

The idea that an inferior class Of
people patronize the tourist sleepers is
an error. On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found. They are
merely men and women of good sense
who would rather travel to California
in this manner and save a snug sum
of money to be used elsewhere. It is
beginning to be understood that it is
by no means necessary for the traveller
to spend a large sum OF money in or
der to enjoy a trip to the Pacific coast
If you cross the continent in one of

ci6c you will enjoy your trip and save
