lygamy was never mandatory and that
the vast majority of the adherents Of
his church to the present time had
been monogamists. Only one apostle
since 1897 had been chosen as polyga-
mist, and he had entered into the rela-
ti0n before the manifesto of 1890
against the practice. In his opinion,
all polygamists should be prosecuted
TO the laws limit. In closing he said:
Il have never taken any oath or
obligation, religious or otherwise, which
conflicts with my duty as citizen
or as senator. l owe no allegiance to
any church or other organization which
IN any way interferes with my supreme
allegiance in civil affairs to my coun.

Next day the report Of the committee
declaring Smoot not entitled to his seat
was rejected by vote Of ~ to %, nine
Republicans joining the Democrats
against Smoot and three Democrats
standing with the administration for
him. 1t was noted that two members
OF the committee, Depew and Dolliver,
who had signed the report, now
changed their minds and voted against
it. In the closing debate before the
vote Dubois denied the statement
made by Knox that polygamy in Utah
had ended. He said strong influences

millions Of petition signers against

hat Smoot had proved better char

Japanese Exclusion a Fact.
With the presidents signature to the
new immigration bill the solution of
lie Japanese exclusion problem in Cal
ifornia is made possible through the
PROVISION granting authority to the
president to exclude japanese and cer-
. lain other alien laborers who come to
the United States without passports
In the senate the bill had. encountered
opposition for three days, led chiefly
by Tillman. Bacon, Carmack and CuI-
berson, who voiced the opposition of
the south to the principle of foreign
treaty rights taking precedence over
state authority. Senator Carmack ar
raig1ed the president for being harsh
and truculent" toward California and
lpusillanimous toward Japan. He
charged the president with speaking
softly to a foreign nation and carrying
Il big stick against his own people.
tenator Beveridge was the chief de-
fender of the presidents policy. As
finally passed the measure received
practically the full strength of the Re
publican senators and was opposed by
the Democrats, except that La Fol
lette voted with the Democrats and
McEnery with the Republicans.
The conference report on this bill
was adopted in the house by a vote
of 1877 to 101, practically a party divi-

As the season advances mining
conditions az Whltepine camp on
upper Tomichi creek, Gunnison
county, show steady improvement.
The camp has been visited the past
summer by many heavy mining OPP
orators and investors As result
many deals, trades, cash sales and
much new work is planned and be
ing carried out, which means much
for the camps mining future.
The Morning Star, owned by Dis
trict Judge Sprigg Shackleford and
Henry F. Lake Sr., of Gunnison, has
been operated under a long term
lease by Dodson & Dunlap. who have
disposed of their lease for a substan-
tial price to j. Regan, a prominent
and successful land, cattle and min
ing man, of Idaho, now residing in
Denver. Mr.. Regan purchased for
cash the Eldorado in Wauni a Park,
and has been operating the same for
some time. He will now give close
attention to the development of the
Morning Star, a youngster OF rare
promise, which has recently profit
ably marketed ten cars of ore from

1lirAewLosss Eseaee isom Lion


One Of the most marvellous things
happened last week at IowelI's saw
mill on Black mesa John Reed
who is working up there, sent his
little boy, Jake, out after the COW,
and as he stayed 80 long he sent an
other Of the bovs o"s o. hunt him
and the COW The boy had not gone
very far when he issrd the little
fellow calling Tor his papa and ma
MA and ON r~nAins dowR 70 the
crss ( be saw . mountain lion clap
the little fellow aud knock him down
The other boy began TO shout and
the lion skunk off into the brush
The boys ran to the house and told
their folks, who thought they must
have been mistaken The next dav
the bows were out on a burro and
the lion took after them again
The boys rode into camp as fast as
they could and said to Mr.. Reed
Now if you don / think that was a
lion. look for yourself, and sure
enough it was, out they didn't have
any gun ext'ept TWENTY-FIVE, so did
not get Mr.. Lion The boys are
staying close To camp these days.
Evidently the lion was PLAYING
with the boy Just As a cat would
play With a mouse, and the other boy
coming Just in the nick Of time and
soaring the lion away was all that
saved the bov.

Gently or had been there for years.
No flow of water has been found as
yet in the cave except the little that
trickles through the ceiling. but as
so little is known of it and so few
explorations have been made, it is
hard to guess what it might contain
We intend TO make another trip
down there in the near future, and
we will go equipped TO make a thor
ough inspection of the cave. All the
other members of the party which
comprised a number of prominent
business men of this city concur in
the story as told to the News and ex-
press their wonder at the fact that a
natural phenomenon of this character
should go so long unnoticed by men
of science, They attribute it to the
fact, however, that the cave is To-
Gated in a place unfrequented by men
other than the occasional prospector
