This boy, Brigham

a life sentence This boy, Brigham
Willard, is sentenced to prison, as
shown by the dispatch. John W. Young
spent $4,000 to save the neck of his
boy in New York, although he had just
refused to give to the boy $500 TO start
him in business.
Mr.. Young has been too busy getting
new wives to take care of old ones;
bringing new children into the world
to guard those already brought here
bearing his name. Mr.. Young has been
too busy spending millions protecting
self and children from consequences to
afford an ordinary civil, decent, moral
education to his wandering progeny.
The Tribune refers to it with no
spirit of animosity toward him or the
institution Of which he is a. representa-
tive. But it is all an awful wreck, and
but for mercy, the chapter of horrors
might be indefinitely extended.

State Land Board Withdraws
the List and Calls the
Sale or.
SEVERAL BIDDERS WERE
ANXIOUS FOR PROPERTY
Lands We're Appraised at $50
per Acre, $45 Would Have
Been offered.

The State Land board has for some
time been advertising for sale all the
school lands In Emery county now in
ITS possession, amounting to some 81.
QUO acres. This land is known to CON
tain valuable coal deposits and hence
there has been considerable inquiry
regarding it. The sale was TO take
place October 23, the list and descrip-
tlons of the land were to have been
issued Tuesday. They were not issued,
but instead they were Withdrawn from
sale, and hereby hangs a tale
Tuesday, Conner Thomas, State Coal
Nine Inspector, called upon the Land
board for a list of the lands offered
for sale, and was informed they were
given for this action is that President
Roosevelt having withdrawn the Gov
ernment lands subsequent to the coal
land scandal, the Land board had de-
cided To hold the State lands in tho
belief that Congress might enact some
legislation relative 10 the sale of these
lands.
However that may be, it is under
stood that the interurban railroad for
which franchise from the City Coun-
Gil was granted three weeks ago, will
traverse Emery county and thus, open
mp the coal lands. The lands were
appraised by the Land board at $50
per acre. Tho sum of $35 per acre
would have been offered, it is said, by
the interurban company and another
railroad company and others, it is said,
would have offered $40 per acre, but
the withdrawal of the lands deprived
them of the opportunity.
The question is, why were the lands
Withdrawn at the particular time that
they were' The explanation furnished
above, it is said, does not fully cover
the ground. The State Land board is
currently credited with having had
other plans for the disposition Of the
lands, but that the knowledge that
other bidders were to be in the field
swayed the members from their pur-
pose and hence the abandonment Of the
sale

GREEN RIVER BOOMING
D. Nj. Landreth Talks of the Famous
Fruit Country.

D. NJ. Landreth of Green River, vice
president of the Green River Townsite
company, is in the city on business per-
tanning TO the project with which he
is officially connected and largely in
terested In, and may be seen at The
Wilson hotel, where he is registered.
Mr., Landreth. in addition to his large
interests in Utah, is one of the heaviest
shippers of fruit in the West, and one
raisers of Palisade, Colo. Palisade,
twelve miles east of Grand Junction,
is one of the great fruit shipping sta
tious in Grand valley, on tho Rio
Grande railroad.
The fruit shipped out of Grand val
ley, principally to Eastern markets,
amounted to 2,200 car loads last year,
all of which was disposed of at very
high prices. One car load of peaches
ments this year will exceed that of last.
What is known as Grand valley is
situate in eastern Colorado and west
ern Utah, and is divided by the Rio
Grande railroad, which runs through
it from east TO west. Practically, this
valley or plateau extends west to
Green River, Utah and beyond. 1t has
become famous for the lucious flavor of
it's peaches and the excellence In quail
Try of the apples there grown. The
fruit crops-never a failure-are enor-
nous when properly cared for.
1t may not be generally known, but
it is fact, nevertheless, that Green
River, Utah, furnishes winter water
melons to the tables of the Waldorf
Astoria, New York.

Landreth, f'grow TO greater develop,
