REPORT OF SENATE COMMITTEE ON
SUTHERLAND'S ASSAY OFFICE BILL

this state year by year hereafter.
In addition to this, during the last
few years the valley of Salt Lake,
where it is proposed TO establish this
office, has become the most important
smelling section of the entire coun-
try. The American Smelling & Re-
filming company. the Boston CONSOLIDATE
ed Mining company, and the Utah
Copper company have each completed
a vast smelling plant adjacent to Salt
Lake, the output of which will proba-
bly, not be exceeded by any smelling
smelling plants have been recently
constructed in rintic, Bingham and
other nearby points in which a great
amount of precious metal ores are re-
duced. Not only are the ores of Utah
marketed at this point, but a very
large proportion of the ores produced
I'm Nevada and other nearby states are
also brought there for reduction. The
result is that the amount of gold and
silver actually reduced to bullion in
Salt Lake valley vastly exceeds the
amount of production in the state
itself
The need of an assay office at Salt
Lake City is probably greater than in
many of the states where such offices
now exist. If such offices are of prac-
teal benefit in each of the other min
ing states, and their establishment and
continuance would indicate that they
are of benefit, no good reason is per-
ceived why such an Office should not
be established In the state of Utah.

fer for this unwise legislation. This
talk about watered stock is untrue.
There is not single drop of water in
any OF the railroad stocks of the coun-
try. 1t would be impossible to replace
the railroads for the par value of the
railroad stocks of the country today.
1T is time the people called a halt
to this vicious legislation for it must
be checked if future development is 10
be expected. Take the Northern Pa
cifie for an instance of the absence of
water, or, better stated, overcapitaliza-
ton. Our earnings amount to 4.23 per
cent, certainly not too much for in
vestors. How many business men Of
Lewiston would be satisfied with such
a small profit? All railroad develop
ment work not largely completed must
stop because of the power given COM
missions under the present administra-
ton. Instead of giving commissions
more power they must be shoru OF
some they now possess"

TURKEY WILL DEAL
WITH THE VATICAN

Rome, Feb. at is reported that ne
gotiations are in progress with the
view to having a Turkish diplomatic
agency accredited to the vatican to
deal directly with the papal officials re-
garding the protection of Catholics in
Turkey, thus avoiding, if this preroga-
tive is removed from France. its as
sumption by any other power. It is
asserted that if an Ottoman agent is
accredited to the vatican the apostolic
delegate at Constantinople will be
raised to a nuncio, and that Monsignor
Aversa, the papal envoy extraordinary
to Cuba, viii be given the office.

The accounts of the spectators of the
assassination vary, but it is establish

The government has adopted most
thorough measures to block the escape
from Portugal of suspects.
Premier Franco has telegraphed to
the Spanish government requesting
that it place a guard on the frontier
to prevent an exodus of Portuguese
revolutionists and the coming into Por-
tugal of Spanish reVOlutionists.
The number of persons now under
arrest in various forts, many of whom
were taken into custody prior to the
ssassinations, is very great. The pris-
Oners in Fort Caxias have refused to
accept the food given them, declaring
that it is unfit to eat.
Two of the remaining dead regicides

one being named Alfredo Costa.

city limits, south of Sellwood, five
farm hands were robbed at the muz-

occurred are securing the country for
the robbers. The amount secured by
the robbers was about $11.
