SLOAN TALKS TO TAFT CLUB
York County Republicans Reused by
Address of Geneva Man.

OEA SOuANS NO1hCN W
Address of Geneva Man.
YORK, Neb., Aug. 5.-(special.)-Last
evening the large court room was comfort
ably filled with citizens and farmers who
came to hear Charles Sloan of Geneva de-
liver an address before the York Republi-
can Taft club. Never in many years has
SO much interest been aroused as in tho
present campaign and the speech of Mr..
Sloan has get the old and young republican
workers to work. The campaign in York
county promises to be one OF the best in
years.
Republicans nave been making a canvass
of wards and townships and have made a
most thorough search for republicans whom
democrats claim will vote for Bryan. They
claim It is impossible to find any republi-
can voter who has changed and that all
this talk of the democrats is baseless. A
number of populists and independent voters
are indignant over the way Tom Allen Is
trying to capture their votes for Bryan and
they declare that under no conditions will
they vote for Bryan.
The fusionists are advertising a local citi-
zen as a Roosevelt republican who will ad-
dress a meeting, inviting Roosevelt republi-
cans to attend. The record Of the Roose-
welt republican Is that In former campaigns
he stumped the county in which he lived
for Bryan.
The Republican Taft club is making ar
rangements for campaign rooms and pro-
poses to push the campaign from now on
and declare that up to date they have con-
verts to Taft and propose to make the re-
publican majority in York county the larg-
est in its history.

Asse..ment Cau.es Trouble.

wYMORE, Neb.. Aug. 5.-(special.)-
Citizens are greatly stirred up over the
action the city council took a week or so
ago in the matter of real estate assess
ment in the town. This body took 1t upon
themselves TO go over the assessors books
and recommend that about zoo pieces Of
property be assessed higher. and recon-
mended that the county board make the
raise. The owners Of the property in ques-
ton made a strenuous kick, and the out
come has been a net lowering of assessed
value of real estate in the city.
The council acted in evident good faith
in the matter, but there is considerable
criticism as to the method they used. The
property owners say they would not object
to a certain per cent raise on all property,
but they think the council did wrong to
recommend certain pieces to be assessed
higher. 1t seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion that there is more need of equalizing
personal than there Is OF equalizing real
estate.

SYNDICATE OF SALT LAKERS
TAKING UP COAL LANDS

The twenty or more persons who have
located and filed upon coal land in the
Cedar creek territory, north of Hunting
ton, are busy developing their property,
having quite a force at work driving
tunnels. chambers and doing other pre-
urinary work preparatory to the estab-
hshment of a coal camp and coal mines,
says the Emery County Progress.
Messrs. Mays and Orem. the welr known
Salt Lake attorneys and mining men,
are at the head of the promoters of this
enterprise, which will soon bloom into
the biggest industrial scheme in this coun-
ty. II may not be very many years be-
fore the biggest coal producing camp in
the state will be situated right on Cedar
creek in Emery county.
Associated with Messrs.' Mays and Orem
in this matter are Ex-Governor Wells. ex-
County Attorney Willard Hansen. Attor-
ney f. o. LeatherwoOd and other promi-
nent Salt Lake men No great amount of
work will be attempted till a patent is
obtained to the land. and after that time
activity in every line leading to the es-
tabiishment of mammoth coal camp will
be apparent.
The syndicate will have something close
to 5000 acres of as good coal land as can
be found in the west and as TO the veins
OF coal and their accessibility there Is
nothing better in the state. When once
in operation the Cedar creek coal camp
can be depended upon as a large and
steady producer for years, no matter how
large force is put to work. What is
of still great Importance is that the coal
cannot be beaten fof quality in the state
of Utah

terday the option was withdrawn, so now
there is nothing doing.
The {. G. property consists of the old
California and Comstock contiguous
groups of claims in Thayne'S canyon, and
the first reports that crept out concern
ing the deal made it look as though the
Silver King Coalition company was try
ing TO get the ground. Later it seemed
as though the crowd which secured an
option on the Mccormick half interest
and some other holdings, represented the
Jesse Knight combination. 1t makes little
difference now who it was. the deal has
failed and the company is now making its

with everything to indicate that lively
campaign will be inaugurated.
The Silver King Coalition company owns
about all the property along the eastern
eXtremities of these groups of claims and
the big company would be the logical pur-
chaser OF the ground; and il may be after
it vet, though there is little evidence to
alarmed over the thought that someone
else might get it, Jesse Knight was re-
ported as being after the Copper Apex
property, just west ofathe California and
Comstock and il was easy enough to con-
meet his interests with the agents who
secured tie option now understood to
