PLACE FOR MARKET WAGONS
Committee of Council Will Consider the
Matter Thursday Night.

Matter Thursday Night
The question of providing a place for
the market wagons which come into Salt
Lake every morning from the surround
Ing country districts In which they may
gather Instead OF gathering on West
First South street, rs is the custom at
present, has created considerable COM
ment
Tho matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the Council Monday night by the
Street Supervisor and acted npon favor
ably and referred to the Committees on
Streets and Markets to take some action
The Street Supervisor is OF the opinion
that market place should be provided
so that West First South street will not
be Uttered with refuse cast aside by the
market wagons just after the street has
been cleaned.
Several members OF the Street and
Market committees Of the Council we're
questioned by The Tribune in regard TO
the matter Tuesday and were OF the oplp-
ion that II would be good move TO make
to establish market place In Salt Lake
regardless OF the question OF littering
the streets, and some OF them were OF
the opinion that IL the city provided a
suitable place and one that would be
easily accessible the farmers would be
In favor of the idea. The Councilmen
talked with, however were Of the opinion
that no steps can be taken to exclude the
market wagons from the streets without
first providing place that would be
favorable to the farmers
The question is scheduled to come I'D
before the committees on Thursday night.
and an effort VIII be made to reach some
conclusion al that time. although IL may
be necessary to call a special commit
tee meeting to dispose of II.

Hfgh~Grade Wall Papers,
Chas. H, Bodel, 33 E. 1st S..
Turning Lead Into Gold.

The ancient alchemists were not all
charlatans, writes Prof. Il. A. Millikan
in Technical World Magazine, They
were simply men who were striving
most of them earnestly and seriously
to find the secret Of producing any de.
sired transformation of matter. They
were trying to convert one substance
into another by varying the proper
tions Of the constituent elements.
Some of the ablest minds OF the
Middle Ages were engaged in this
search. Roger Bacon, Spinoza. Luther
and Leibnitz all believed in the Philo-
sophers Stone and in the transmutation
of the metals
What does modern science have to
say on this subiecti To the question,
- Are the elements transmutable in the
laboratories of nature7'' we NAV re-
turn the answer that certain of them
at least are transmutable. and it is
probable, that in nature's laboratories
all of them are being produced from
some simple primordial stuff.
IL seems probable also that the
" Universal Solvent which will pro
duce this transmutation, and which is
perhaps producing il now in the stars,
ls temperature. But, unfortunately the
temperatures required to produce these
changes are probably forever beyond
man g reach.
But If the secret of this transforma-
tion should ever be found. we should be
able to unlock almost infinite stores of
energy which we now know TO be
wrapped up in the atoms of the ele-
ments
Should man ever be able to unlock
this energy. he would doubtless look
back upon the day in which his pro-
genltors burned coal to warm their
houses and to drive their engines. with
the same curiosity and pity with which
we look back upon the day when our
naked ancestors plowed their fields with
crooked stick, and LIT their fires with
the spark from flint.

SOUTHERN COTTON ASSOCIATION
Rocky Point Citizens Indignant at
Charge of Failure of the Association
to Advance Prices. Made by q Will
mington House.
Rocky Point, March 10. 1906.

ROCKY Point, March 10, 1906.
The following circular is being sent
out by a house that claims to handle
more cotton than all other commission
houses in Wilmington combined.
1.-The Southern Cotton Growers AS
ISOLATION has failed ANONYMOUSLY to
advance cotton to the high level of 15c
tnat promised to do so some weeks ago,
n in fact all their efforts seems to
have been useless this season, enough
so at least to convince us that they
cannot control the cotton market, and
we have thought Of their being
a very great factor in the governing
Of b prices, and when they attempted
it they lost to some extent their use
guinness and their constitutional right.
1t has been our style the entire season
TO sell cotton when we could obtain
ten or more cents and we have Drofited
materially by doing so.
REPLY.
Now we are all Sinners" but not
the "Suckers' to be taken In by such
bait, without even a gilt-edge feature.
Such language smacks very strongly Of
Theodore Price. There is vet some
cotton in the land and we the farmers
are not the egregrious asses to be taken
in by such chaf.
The cotton growers association have
the same constitutional rights to fix
prices as have the Oil trust, beef
trust, sugar trust, guanO trust and all
other combinations that we see, hear,
feel, taste. and have the same consti-
%tutional right that a commission house
has to raise cotton Oh storage, sell
same at highest price, report sales at
lowest price-as has been done.
AS farmers are cotton growers, we
are not satisfied with a 1Oc basis, and
we will restrict our acreage so as to
insure a higher basis.
Those advocating such measures as
this house promulgate are attempting
to turf the wheels Of progress back
ward and blocking the present era Of
prosperity.
Southern Cotton Growers Association
have failed ANONYMOUSLY to advance
he price of cotton; had it not been
for their work &c cotton would be the
price.
Theodore Price and his henchmen
have been and are now making the
effort of their lives to depress prices,
and we deplore the fact that men of
the south are aiding and abetting them
in work Numerically opposed to u
best interests.

MAY HOLD ANOTHER ELECTION
County in Which Bricc Law Election is
Declared Invalid May Vote Again
This Summer.

Assistant Attorney General YOU
mans rendered an important opinion
Yesterday in which he holds that a
county which has voted out it's dis
~pensaries under the Brice act, but
whose election has been declared null
and void by the state board Of can
yessers, is not barred from at once
going into another election; that pro-
vision of the Brice act forbidding these
elections oftener than every foul years
does not apply, inasmuch as the records
show that no valid election has been
held.
In the same opinion, however, Mr..
Youmans expresses grave doubts as to
whether the petition calling for the for
mer attempted election can be used in
the contemplated new election.
Williamsburg, it will be remembered,
voted its dispensaries out in January
by a narrow majority. The election
was protested before the county board
of on the ground that no
oaths had been taken by any Of the
managers, that registration certificates
were not required, voters were not
sworn and no evidence of payment of
taxes was required of them.
The county board sustained the cleo
ton as appearing On the face OF re-
turns, 81. E. Montgomery making a mi
nority report that the irregularities
were fatal. The state board sided with
Mr.. Montgomery, reversing the ma
jirity finding and declaring the cleo
ton null and void.-C0lumbia State.

OF JOHNSON
Supreme Court May Take Some Action
to Secure Punishment of Members
of the Mob at Chattanooga.

Washington, March 2O-Some of
the members of the supreme court of
the United States are considering the
advisability of an attempt to secure the
punishment Of the members of the mob
which last night took from the Jail in
Chattanooga, Tenn, Johnson, the ne
gro rapist, whose legal execution today
vas stayed by an order issued by the
supreme court yesterday. The depart
ment of justice also is considering ac-
ton in the matter. The supreme
court is not now in session and will
not be for a fortnight yet, but it is
possible that a conference may be call
ed at an early date to consider what
course should be pursued. So far there
has been no effort on the part Of its
members to reach q common under
standing, but two modes of proceeding
have been suggested, n contemplate
ing the taking of the matter in hand
by the supreme court and the other
turning the matter over to the execu-
tive branch Of the government In
the first event the officers responsible
for the custody of the prisoner. would
probably be called upon TO answer to
the court and in case the matter
were turned owe to the executive
branch there would be an effort to Sc
cure the arrest and punishment OF the
members of the mob.

RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION.
Report of Absorption of All Lines il

1t was reported in Norfolk yester-
day that Senator Aldrich and a party

fed with the Standard Oil have pur-
chased the Virginia end Carolina
Coast road. all of it's immense timber
holdings in this end of the state and
othSr small lumber roads operating
in the Virginia and Carolina coasts
territory. and that these tracts will be
consolidated and developed with the
Norfolk and Southern railway as their
central line of rail.

the Norfolk and Southern railway,
who is mentioned as the possible man

professed ignorance of such a deaI
yesterday. saying: Its new to me-"
He smiled as he spoke and profess
ed a desire to know where the report
came from.
II wonedr if hat came from New

The consolidation Of the Virginia
and Carolina Coast railway with the
Norfolk and Southern would probably
mean that the various lines recently
absorbed by the former would be used
as feeders to the latter. The Norfolk
and Southern would then have abso-
lutte control of the rich eastern North
Carolina territory in which it held un-
disputed sway until a few years ago

this city and further south. There
were several hundred people present,
the court house being full and every
one present was enthusiastic for the

A committe on ways and means was
appointed. The ACCESSIBILITY of a bond
issue was discussed and it was de-
termined to ask the legislature for au-
thority to call an election for this pur-
pose.
Public sentiment has favored the ex-
tension from the beginning and at the
meeting tonight this sentiment crystal

WHY Is IT 90
There Should be More Cotton Mills in
Section Of State Where Cotton IS
Grown

With the multitude of cotton fac
tories in North Carolina. Il Is rather
strange that so few Of them are in the
eastern part Of the state. Eastern Car
DINA produces most OF the cotton in
the state, but somehow the most OF
the cotton mills are located elsewhere.
Halifax county produced in 1904 about
$4,000 bales OF cotton, and the estiniat-
ed crop for 1905 was about Ii, 900 bales:
but in all this county there is but one
cotton mill and that is at Roanoke
Rapids. With a good mill or two AT
every town the price Of cotton would
be a bit better all the time in the
county and the county would get the
advantage of using the money which
is spent in employing the operatives
TO spin the cotton. It seems strange
that here where there Is so much cot
ton produced there should be so few
mills for the manufacture Of it. Can
not those who have none in .ha
various counties in this part of the
state be induced 70 invest il in cotton
mills? To do this would be I help
materially every community in which
such mills should be located. The cot
ton is here, the money is here and the
only thing needed for this work is
some vigorous efforts for it. Why not
have the mills?-Scotland Neck Com
