COUNTY OFFICERS RAISE
Uintah County Commissioners Grow
Generous, but Overlook
Themselves.

Nernai, aug. u.-At their regular

assessor from $500 to $500, the attorney
compensation was advanced from $500 &c
5000, and the county superintendent OF
schools from $500 to $3.50 The compensa-
eion of the commissioners and surveyor
were not changed.
Deputy State Auditor E. A Box has
just visited Vernal and has given the
books of the county auditor and of the
treasurer a minute examination. He
found the books in excellent condition
and gave the treasurer and auditor high
compliment for efficiency. Here are two
staunch Democrats whose services are
eminently satisfactory to a Republican
state administration.
Several new precincts have been Gre
ated, one at Dragon, near the Colorado
line, and another in the vicinity of Fort
Duchesne. w. II. Donaldson, formerly
county clerk of Carbon county, has been
appointed registration officer at the lat
ter place.

Fort Duchesne, which was carried away
during the last high water. will be re-
tab county's representative in the last
legislature will have charge of the work
of construction. The plans and specified
lions for the structure were furnished,
gratis, by the bridge builder of the Uin-
tab Railway company. That company
will also donate morally toward the re-
building of that much-needed bridge.
The company, which is operating the
placer ground on the Green river, nea
Jensen, has commenced slucing the pay
gravel and is about to make the first
cleanup of the season. The machinery
installed last winter works like a dream.
In short time now Uiptah county will
add its mite to the gold production of the
state. The company operating the placer
ground on Green river halls from Dixon,
Wyo. c. Alfdenbrink is in charge of the
work, and L. B. Wilder, formerly con-
nected with the Dyer mine, is doing the
assaying.
Building material is now plentiful, both
i'm Vernal and on the reservation as the
sawmills are all running full blast and
large quantities of lumber are being
stacked up. Settlers will experience no
further difficulty in securing lumber for
building their homestead cabins.
Water is plentiful and crops are alb
normally large this year. which augurs
well for the new reservation settlers.
Professor II. S. Cummings arrived this
evening and will conduct an institute here
next week.
There are four boot-leggers in the coun-
" jail awaiting trial at the next term of
the district court. Their arrest is due
TO the vigilance of our veteran sheriff
William Preece.

The steamer was nearing the compile
ton of very rough passage. and most
of the passengers were silent sad and
thoughtful. Only one gay and sprightly
individual looked as though an earth
quake hadn't suddenly swallowed up
his friend and all his worldly goods.
Look here" he said, dancing nimbly
about, I'm all right. If you chaps just
brace up and be cheerful you'll feel all
right"
He did hornpipe and a jig, and one
of his fellow passengers raised his head
long enough TO say:
George, will you do me great favor
"a very great favor-possibly the last
favor | shall ever ask of you?'
why. certainly, old man! What can
/ do for you?"
Nothing. / simply beg of you to
stop dancing. 1t shakes the ship So.
