THE OUTLOOK.


The outlook IS that this tonnage will

lust as soon as the Western Pacific Is
built there will be o big market for
coal. In addition 90 that already exist
ing In Utah and which at the present
time takes big percentage of the out
put.
WESTERN PACIFIC.
with the Western Pacific completed
this railroad will consume thousands of
tons Of fuel for its motive power 60
say nothing Of that required In the
mining camps and towns along the
route. Then. too, there will be a big
market for the toal and coke in San
Francisco both FOR local consumption
and export, all OF which makes the
future OF the Utah Fuel company an
exceedingly bright one.
TABLE OF AVERAGES.
The tonnage during the past year was
contributed by the respective mines In
accordance with the following table,
which also sets forth the average num-
Der Of employees per month, the num-
Der of days each mine was worked dur
Ing the year and the average monthly
pay roll for the current year:

The First Christmas Observance.

Christmas gets It's name from the
mass celebrated in the early days Of
the Christian church In honor OF the
birth Of Christ. its first soemnlzation
having been ordered by Pope Tees-
phorus. This was in or before tho
year 1855, for in that year Pope Teies-
phorus died At first Christmas was
what is known as a movable feast Just
as Easter Is now. ana celebrated ~ late
as April or May. In the fourth century
an ecclesiastical investigation was orr
dered, and upon the authority OF the
tables OF the censors IN the Roman ar
chives. Dec. % was agreed upon as tho
date OF the Sayiors Nativity Tradi-
tion fixed the hour OF birth at about
midnight, and this led 10 the celebra-
ton OF midnight mass In all the
churches, a second at dawn and third

COMPANY HOSPITALS.

Another innovation which has been
instituted by the company during the
past three years has been the erection
Of company hospitals, and the system
whereby each employe by paying n

himself and medical treatment for the
members OF his family.

The Ninth legislative session hal

The Ninth legislative session has
accomplished its work and adjourned.
While the session has been marked
at times with seeming bitterness all
enmity passed away within few
hours and the best of feeling prevail
ed-until the next difference occurTeG,
and in the dying hours of the session
all i'll feeling seemed dissipated in the
general good fellowship which pre-
vailed. In marked contrast to the
close of some other legislatures the
session closed with the best Of good
feeling between the two houses, as
was shown when the senate returned
the call made by the house. Each
body cheered the other and in every
way possible expressed kindly senti-
ment for the other. As body the per-
sonel of the late legislature averaged
up we'll with those which have gone
before. 1t was a more sedate body
of men than many of it's predecessors
and there was at all times tendency
to give earnest consideration to meas
ures before it. Individually the mem-
bers were Of high order Of intelli-
gence and of capacity to safeguard
the interects of the state. No bad
legislation has been enacted; on the
other hand many important bills de-
manded by the people have been put
upon the statute books. The state
institutions have been well cared
for, particularly those pertaining to
education; farmers Institutes have
been aided, the dairy interests cared
for, good primary election law pass
ed, provision made for better illumi-
mating oil with revision Of the in
spector's fees to the state after next
year, reconstruction 1t the capitol
building on a scale commensurate
with great state arranged for, a
good irrigation law passed with pro-
vision for prosecuting the work, equal
taxation of railroads and grain in
elevators provided for, pure food and
pure drugs assured the people, and
many : other meritorious measures
passed which will enable the mem.
bers to return to their constituents
with the consciousness of duty well
performed. Bismarck will miss the
genial legislators, but in parting
wishes them Godspeed and pros
perity, and hopes to see many of
them return again two years hence.
