has been under the jurisdiction of D.
j. Malone, comprises the main line
from Salt Lake to McCammon, Idaho,

branch, the joint yards in Salt Lake
extending south to Sandy, and the ter
minals in Salt Lake. In addition Mr.

years prior to the breaking up of the
shops on North Temple street. He was
very popular here and has for some
time been looked upon as one of the
coming men. On the strength Of his
promotion he is now building a $4,000

Fighting for the Bodies.

Florence, Colo, March ia decid-
ed war for the bodies of the dead is
n of the sad features of the wreck
here. The courts have not yet decided
who is the coroner of Fremont county,
and the actions of Drs. w. c. Stephen
son and R. H. Paxton, both of whom
claim the office, in their demands for
the mangled and unrecognizable bodies,
has created a feeling of intense antag-
onism for the men. Stephenson says

STAMP.
Suggestion for the Coming Universal
Postal Congress at Rome.

New York, March 17.-Captain N. M.
Brooks, superintendent of foreign
mails in the p~ostofice department, and
Edward Rosewater, proprietor of the
Omaha Bee, sailed in the Lorraine for
Havre as this country's delegates to
the universal postal congress, which
will open in Rome April 5. One of the
questions which probably will come
up for consideration is the adoption of
a universal postage stamp. Mr.. Rose
water is opposed to the plan on the
grounds that as the stamps would be
alike, it would be impossible to strike
a balance, for there would be no way
of telling where the stamps had been
purchased.

Explanation Submitted.

For the information of those who do
not already understand the plans we
have made for this work l submit the
following explanation:
Last summer We tried to secure per-
mission to go on the reservation and
make surveys for canals and reservoirs
and to locate the irrigable area. Our
plan then was to have permits issued
by the secretary of the interior to a
number of responsible parties and let
each work out a system which would
cover the lands that can be reclaimed.
We proposed to select from these plans
the best for the people and issue per-
mits accordingly when the reservation
was opened. The secretary of the in
terror refused all permits on the ground
that if one person were given permits
sion to enter the reservation all would
have to be extended the same right.
During the fall months other plans
we're suggested.

done and it was found that there was

on this condition.
