City Council Proceedings.

Tuesday night, the regular
monthly meeting, the council
did little except to adopt a hog
ordinance. 1t permits one pig
to the family and prescribes the
size of the pen. The News is of
the opinion that all should have
been barred out or the question,
hogs or no hogs" submitted to
a referendum vote of the citizens.
However, on the principle that
half a loaf is better than none"
the council is to be thanked for
this much of a step in the right
direction. There are those who
differ with The News on this
question, as a matter of course,
but then it can't be in line with
all the people all the time nor
even majority of them. The
News man, like other people, is
sometimes in the wrong and this
may be one of the times, but he
can't now see it that way.
The cesspool matter was dis
cussed, but no definite action
was taken and The News is in
formed that it will come up for
attention later on.
This cesspool and underground
pit question, as The News sees
it, is one that should be acted
upon considerably with all the
light, pro and con, which can be
brought to bear upon it, and de-
termined for the general good of
the town, present and future.
Our physicians could impart val
liable information on this matter
and they are hereby cordially in
vited to do so through the col
umns of The News.
Another matter considered
was the crawling of the low pla-
ces in the public square and the
laying of gravel along the center
of Houston street and On toward
the depot, also the opening of,
some bitches to carry the sur
plus water away from the bust
ness district. To this end com
mittee was appointed to confer
with the commissioners court.
This graveling and ditching
The News is constrained to be-
lieve ought to be done by all
means and it sees no reason why
our honorable commissioners
court should not, out of the road
and bridge fund, aid literally in
this good work. If the majority
cuts any figure in the decision
of this question the city will
surely get the help desired, for, 4
behold, is it not a-faet that Can
yon City holds majority of ting

CLOSING UP
LAND EXCHANGES
GOVERNOR CARTER WORKS WITH
PRATT TO FINISH PENDING
NEGOTIATIONS.

Governor Carter and Land Commits
sioner Pratt were busy for several
hours yesterday clearing up some
matters of exchange of land in a num-
Der of places. Three agreements were
made with private parties all of which
are believed to be advantageous to the
Territory. Chief Justice Frear, the
newly appointed governor to succeed
Carter, was also present, and the deals
were made with his approval.
The most important deal was that
by which the government gives a lot
of Sal acres of unimproved land, a
part of the Makiki reservoir reserve,
to F. X. Howard in exchange for
Blocks 4, and 8 of the Highland Park
Addition, containing Is 81 acres which
will be devoted to the purpose of the
new Agricultural College.
The land which, the government
gives in exchange is not at present
needed for reservoir purposes, owing
to the fact that water is now piped
down from the springs. The site or
the new Agricultural College joins
that of the new Mid-Paciic Institute.
Another exchange of land is along
the Volcano road on Hawaii, BY It
the government acquires from Charles
Fmneaux a strip OF land at 20 miles
on the new road approximately 800
feet In width and containing about rs
acres, which lays between the ROAD

DESMOINES, Iowa, July IA
swarm Of mosquitoes, Ii t'hons IN num-
Der, literally stalled a Minneapolis &
st. Louis train at Badgley last night.
For two hours the heavily-loaded train
was tied up by its fight with the pests,
and the 100 passengers were almost
crazed before they escaped.
The attack was made early in the
evening, just as No. 2, southbound pas
senger, started to pull out of Badgley.
Because of the hot weather the win
dows in the passenger coaches had
been left open, and the mosquitoes,
driven from the marshes by the rain,
swarmed through the windows, attack
ing the passengers by the thousands.
For a while the passengers attempted
to fight the pests with handkerchiefs
and hands, but as they increased in
number and ferocity the conductor was
appealed to and stopped the train. For
two hours the train was stalled while
the passengers driven from the coach
es, built fires along the right Of way,
making a dense smudge which afforded
them a little relief. rhe smudge was
then carried into the coaches and the
mosquitoes finally driven out. Many OF
the passengers had hands and faces
almost eaten raw by the attacks.
