AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

The purpose of the Agricultural college
of Utah, as announced in the annual cat
alogue, IS to provide a liberal, thorough
and practical education. THE two ex-
tremes in education, empiricism and the
purely theoretical, are avoided. While
the Importance of practical training is
emphasized, the disciplinary value of ed
ucation is kept constantly in view"
The college is divided into five schools:
% The school of agriculture; (2) the
school of domestic science; go the school
of commerce; (D the school of mechanic
arts, and 90 the school of general sci
-ence. Each of the schools offers two or
more complete courses and in addition
one or more winter courses. A summer
school is also announced as an integral
part of the college.
The distinctly new paragraphs in the
catalogue are those which announce joint
courses with the state university. One
paragraph reads: 1.-The law which pro-
engineering also prohibits the University
OF Utah from giving instruction in irri-
cation. This eliminates from both schools
the possibility of training young men for
irrigation eng1neering-One of the most
vital branches of engineering in the west
To meet this important condition the state
school of mines and the Agricultural col
1ege offer Jointly course leading to the
degree of bachelor of science in irrigation
engineering.
To get this joint course students first
complete the course in irrigation and
drainage in the Agricultural college and
then enter the junior year of the school
of mines for the technical work in engl-
neering.
Other paragraphs explain the similar
arrangement which has been made with

THEY MEET AGAIN IN JAIL
Joseph Quarles Recognizes Attor-
ney Reeves as His Former
Leader in Cuba.
Especial to The Herald.)


Ely, Aug. 10.-Incarcerated in the
county Jail of White Pine county is
Joseph T. Quarles, colored awaiting
trial on the charge of shooting at his
wife. Quarles was in the Jail the other
day when Attorney Reeves happened to
step in with a couple of the officers
The colored prisoner saw Mr.. Reeves
and after gazing at him few seconds
suddenly said:
Aren't you from the Seventy-first
New York;
NO." replied Reeves. why do you
ask?"
Because I know you," said the pris-
oner.
Il was with the Texas volunteers, -
said Reeves.
You're the old man from Texas, -
said the prisoner. Il knew l had seen
you before, and remember you as
you passed along the firing line"
And so the lawyer and the prisoner
exchanged stories, and then and there
Reeves took charge of the defendant s
case. A Herald representative met the
colored soldier in the Jail yesterday
afternoon
1T is stated" said the newspaper
man, that you knew Mr.. Reeves in
Cuba"
Yes, l did," he replied. 1T was on
July and at the firing line on San Juan
Hill. One of the company's officers q
was a member of E company of the
Twenty-fifth United States infantry
saw Reeves as he was riding along the
line. He had a cigar in his mouth and
the officer said:
Look at that fellow with the cigar
in his MOUTH 1 didn't forget him, and
1 remembered him the other day when
l saw him here. 1 thought he was
crazy because he had a cigar in his
mouth during The thick of the fight.
''Colonel Wood was brigade COM
mander, and Roosevelt was colonel,
but was actual commander. 1 knew him
quite well, bat none of us thought then
that he was going to be president.
''I had an idea Reeves was from New
York, but 1 remember now that the
Seventy-first retreated and he jumped
in front of the line waving his hat and
shouting, Come on if you want to fol-
low a man from Texas And they fol-
lowed him up over the hill and smack
through the trenches"
After the battle at San Juan the army
marched to Ell Caney, and at exactly
o'clock they engaged the enemy
again, and again succeeded in routing
them.
Were you wOunded?" was asked.
II was shot twice" replied Quarles
MY right ankle was shattered and my
left foot was shot. 1 was also shot in
the back. but my wife did that, so that
battle doesn't figure in the San Juan
skirmish.
II have some good friends, and for
my character I could refer you to At
torney Richardson, the attorney in the
Haywood trial, and James II. HaWley,
another prominent lawyer. l was at
PocateIlo when Senator Borah was
nominated, and l was his mascot. I've
always tried to behave myself, and my
record as a soldier is fair. / went to
the Philippines and was finally dis
charged because my injuries became so
bad l could not march.
'I don't know why I shot at my
wife. L guess 1 was crazy when / read
that letter she received from that
man.

BUSINESS MEN FEEL STRIKE
Declare that Should Trouble Con-
tinue for a Week Conditions
Would Be Intolerable,

Salt Lake business men are watching
developments in the strike of the tele-
graphers of the Western Union here anxi-
ously. Yesterday a score of merchants
and other business men declared emphat-
ically that a week or ten days of delayed
messages and of MESA ges not sent at all
would bring on an intolerable situation
here
The strike is being seriously felt now.
There is scarcely a business firm of any
size in town that does not have occa-
sion to use the telegraph at least two
messages are of q character that brook
no delay.
Several thousand messages have al
ready been filed here by merchants, sub
Ject TO delay, and a critical situation is
developing 1t is made more so now, be-
cause the eastern offices of the Postal
are making trouble for that company.
Bankers and financial men generally
are FEELING the effect of the suspension
or wFe service. Drafts are being held
up Tor want of speedy confirmation, rates
or exchange do not come with prompt
ness. Wholesale houses have not yet felt
evil results from the strike, but they say
that they expect TO if the suspension
keeps up.
Wires in the leased department. fur
nlshing quotations and the like, have been
working without interruption Brokers
nave not yet suffered, but they are on
the anxious seat. Today there will be a
meeting in Chicago to determine whether
or not the leased wires will be closed
Inc pool rooms are not receiving race
returns, for the reason that they were
DelnS furnished By the Western Union

ASSOCIATED PRESS WORKING
It Was Rumored Operators in Big
News Service Were About
to Strike.

The air was full of rumors yesterday
about possible strike on the Associated
Press telegraph lines. 1t was stated that
the Associated Press operators in Chicago
held meeting yesterday afternoon, at
when decision with reference to a 6
o clock walkout order would be considered
Al o clock there was was no flash from
chicago, and there came nothing thereaf-
ter that warrants the belief that the As
ISOLATED Press men will go on strike.
We have grievances against the Asso-
! ciated Press" said one of the men en-
ployed in the local office. I'VE believe
that we ought to have more pay We
asked for an increase of wages and they
gave us a 'readjustment' of salaries,
which is not satisfactory.
But some of the boys think il would
be madVlSable to call out the Associated
Press men at this time, for the reason
that suspension of the Associated Press
wires would mean a closing of the ave-
nueS OF communication between the var
lOuS locals, as well as a Gripping of the
newspaper service. We know the Deople
want the newspapers, and that they can
not get along without them If we shut
off the newspaper news sources, the peo-
pie Will blame US for depriYing them of
the only means of securing news thew
have. The operators are not supposed to
use the Associated Press wires for the
sending of intelligence between the var
tous locals, but you know that operators
will gossip in a case Of this kind
we nave had rumOrs over our wires
today that Small has advised the Asso-
ciated Press men to stay in. Then, we
have had rumors that Small has made the
statement that he will stand by anything
the Associated Press men do. Some of
the boys say the time to strike is while
the iron is hot"
Manager bod said he did not expect
any walkout. The men, so far as he
knows, are satisfied with local conditions
The service is not impaired by reason of
the strike of the Western Union Operators
although the Associated Press leases
Western Union wires.

HEARING is POSTPONED.
State Asks for Further Time to Pro.
cure an Important Witness In
Eckman Murder Case.
Especial to The Herald

Bingham, Aug. 10.-The hearing of
Mike Papovich and Mike Meuch, charged
with the killing of Henry Eckman in the
Phoenix mine on the night of July 3, was
held before Judge Lee this morning and
was continued until 10 a. m. on Monday
in order to give the state time to pro-
cure an important witness. The evidence
introduced by the state today was en-
tirely circumstantial, mainly tending to
prove that PapOvich had n gun on his
person when arrested that corresponded
in size with the calibre of bullet and that
mud on his coat was the same as would
be obtained by leaning against the side
of the tunnel in the Phoenix mine. IN
less the testimony of the witness to be
produced Monday proves of a startling
nature, it is hardly expected that the
evidence will be sufficient to bind the
defendant over to the district court. As
sistant District Attorney Haigh repre-
scented the state and Harry J. Robinson
appeared for the defense.

AUTOMOBILE SALES
Buick and Columbus in De-
mand,

over at the big home of the CONSOLE
dated Wagon & Machine company on
State street it was reported yesterday
that on Friday they had closed deals
for two Buick cars and one Columbus.
Every indication is that the demand
for these popular cars will continue
undated for long time in the future.
In the agricultural implement de-
partment of the Consolidated Wagon &
Machine company, the leading feature
of the week was the threshing machine
trade, which was more than good. Re
ports from the Snake river valley in
dictate that crops will be even better
than anticipated. This takes in the
three big sugar factories of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company, and the beet
crop will insure the circulation of an
enormous amount of money among the
farmers this fall.
