about twenty business houses, and is tht
shipping point from which thousands q
carloads OF sheep and other stock arr
shipped every summer, besides train
loads Of wool and great amount Of tht
celebrated Idan ha mineral water which
pours from large springs and flows away
into the river. #
10 the southwark the valleys are well
cultivated, while the vast mountainous
districts % the northward abound in
minerals, and the whole face of the coun-
try makes a fine stock range.
The beautiful mountain scenery, the
cool refreshing days and nights Of mid
summer, make it a desirable spot for
people TO spend the summer, evenif the
delights and material benefits Of the
mineral waters were left out Of consider
alton. Nice drives. in all directions
bring the visitor in contact with freaks
and wonders OF nature in addition to the
wealth of mineral waters to be found at
frequent intervals. n.
The locality OF Soda Springs is natures
great apothecary shop, and the variety
of minerals found in spring waters gives
rise to such extravagant stories as that
one will cure rheumatism, another neu-
sralgia, another the gout; and while
drinking water from one may make the
lean man plump, an instance was cited
lin which a, man drank from another to
reduce his flesh, and lost Is pounds
week for three years. Whether he went
there aJapanese giant or came away q
minus quantity was not made clear, but
the bug bottling works Of the Idan ha
Mineral Water company Just west Of
town bear evidence Of the demand for
Idan ha Water. Tho stability Of the
trade seems assured as well as the indis-
position Of the company to change its
labels on the cases which, during the
past sixteen years Of statehood have

HOPE FOR REACTION
Riots, Massacres of Jews and
Strikes Planned by Court
CabaI.

St. Petersburg, March 14.-At to-
days session Of the cabinet Premier
Witte who was warmly supported by
the procurator general of the holy syn
cd and minister of education, insisted
on the suppression Of the organization
known as the League of the Russian
people. through which the agitation OF
the reactionary BLACK hundreds" is
prOpagated.
Produce Counter Revolution.
1t was established there is constant
ly accumulating evidence the plot to
produce a counter revolution in hope
of sweeping away the reforms outlined
in the manifesto of Oct. 80 had its orig
in in a court cabal. The conspiracy
includes General Trepoff. commandant
of the palace. General Count Stichins-
ky. former chief adjutant of the inter
ior department, Count Sherrometeff.
the noted reactionary, and General
Prince Putiatin, who are said to be
utterly reckless of the consequences.
Plan Ia Provoke Riots.
The plan is to provoke riots and mas
sacres of Jews and revolutions over
as wide an area as possible in order TO
justify still more terrible repressions
and thereby prove to the emperor the
people are not ripe for any sort of self
government. 1t is a desperate game,
but it is backed by many provincial
authorities and the support of the gov
ernor generals has been extended. The

Thousands Armed.
1t is understood $4,000 of the "blaclI
hundred" in st. Petersburg are armed,
but it is not believed, in view of the
warnings they have received, the con-
spirators will attempt to provoke a
massacre at the capital. Authorities
here are in sympathy with the conspir-
atOrs and the danger of an outbreak
about Easter is regarded as very real.
In the meantime, on the other side,
the pToletariat organizations which
were ruthlessly crushed by the gov
ernment's repression measures are try
ing to organize another general strike.
