The case of Joseph Fecicz, who
keeps saloon at SO Catherine street,
was dismissed by Recorder Pickers-
gill last night. According to the

Some time ago Fecicz sold his
saloon to John Ondercal and had the
license transferred by the excise
board. Ondercak could not make the
business pay, and Fecicz again took
possession. Chief Burke then order
ed him to close as he had no license
in his name. Later, members of the
excise board, it is declared, gave
Fecicz permission to open again.
The party who is prosecuting Fec
icz says the saloonkeeper is violating
the law and intends having the law
enforced. Fecicz is running the sa-
loon, while Ondercak holds the lie
ence in his name. Joseph E. Stricken
represents Fecicz, and as the case is
one in which the city is concerned,
City Attorney G. C. Hommann will
probably be the attorney against the
defendant

Judge Lyon, who represents the
S. l. Il. ]. Company, was also pres
ent at the meeting. The main cause
for dispute on the ferry question
is that the new concern does not want
to start operations for at least three
years. and, in the minds of many, if
the council grants the leave, the new
company should agree to start active
operations at once.
At the hearing on Friday night, it
is expected that the project will be
thoroughly discussed. The hearing
will be entirely public.

Dr. Henry was given the land. he
would pay the Market street pave

city would have to pay it.
In both OF the remonstrances the
signers stated that the CLOSING up of
the strip of land would lessen the
value of property nearby and also
affect the manufacturing interests

locate in that vicinity.

THE FUTURE OF UTAH BY GOV. CUTLER

in commencing this reclamation, and OF the
president and his advisers in giving it so great
an impetus, will bear It's great frution in Utah in
the near future. Herein would be sufficient glory
to command the admiration of the world, were
Utah to advance in no other particular How
important this great work is and what rcnown
it will soon bring to Utah, may be gathered
from the following extract
"The Reclamation Act and Service is the
greatest modern advance in national improve
ment.' 1t has been said That although the
tomb OF Moses is unknown, the traveller OF to-
day slakes his thirst at the well Of Jacob The
gorgeous palaces of the wisest and weathest
OF monarchs, with their cedar aud gold and
ivory, and even the great temple Of Jerusalem.

self are gone but Solomons reservoirs arc as
perfect as ever Oh the magnificent and costly
architecture OF the Holy City, not one stone is
left upon another, but the pool OF Bethesda com
mands the pilgrims reverence at the present day
THE columns OF Persepolis are moldcring
into dust, but its cistern and aQueduct remain to
challenge our admiration, The golden house
Of Nero is mass OF ruins, but the Aqua Claud-
ia still pours into the city OF Rome its limpid
stream, The Temple OF the SUM- at Tadmor in
the wilderness, has fallen, but its fountain
sparkles in the rays OF the morning sun as when
thousands OF worshipers thronged the lofty
colonnades. And ii any work OF this generation
shall rise over the deep ocean OF time, we may
well believe that it will be neither a palace nor
temple, but some vast aQueduct or reservoir;
and if any name shall hereafter flash brightes.
through the mist OF antiquity, it will probably be
that OF the man who in his day sought the hap
piness OF his fellow men and linked his memory
to some such work OF national utility or be-
nevolcnce"
Yet not alone agricuturally, but in many
other ways Utah is on the threshold OF
a wonderful destiny Never before has there
been so great interest and activity in the min
ing industry. The production Of Ctahs
mines during the year Just closing will far ex-
coed in variety and amount the record Of any
previous year. And it is notable and CRAFTY
ing fact that activity in this direction has been
OF the solid, serious honest kind II other
states have suffered from the inflated boom and
the dishonest promoter, Utah has been blessed
with a substantial growth And one does not
need TO look very far into the future, to see the

which have but recently sprung into prominence,
develop into wealth producers far exceeding
