WOOL GROWERS
GATHER IN SALT LAKE
Nearly Three Hundred Sheep Men
Hold Meeting-Revision of Tar
iff to he Strongly Urged.

SALT LAKE. April 1.-THE revi-
sion of the present tariff on wool, the
establishment of large warehouse
In Salt Lake for the storing of wool
preparatory to shipping it all over
the country, and the proper method
of packing wool in order to keep the
fieeces free from the dirt and other
foreign matter which accumulates In
them, were among the subjects dis
cussed at the meeting of the Wool
Growers association in the auditori-
um of the Armory Friday afternoon.
At the close of the meeting a reso-
luton was introduced expressing the
sense of the meeting as being in OPP
position to the sale of wool by con-
signment. This resolution was pass
ed amid great enthusiasm.
Nearly three hundred wool grow
ers of the intermountain country
were present at the meeting, which
was started in the main room of the
Commercial club. but later adjourned
to the Armory In order to accommo-
date the large crowd. Many matters
pertinent TO the sheep industry were
discussed and plans arranged for the
summers season of grazing. c. h.
Stewart, and +. II. Callister, presi-
dent of the association, gave reports
of their recent visit to Washington,
d. c.. to urge opposition to the Bur
kett bill, which was later introduced
into congress by Senator Curtis. II
has been felt by the sheepmen that
the passage of this bill was danger
Gus to the wool interests of the coun-
try and especially so to the grazers
of this state.
The Objectionable features of the
bill arose from misunderstanding
of the conditions which exist In the
intermountain country on the ranges
and penalties are provided In the bill
which might apply to a thickly set
tied territory, but which are not ap-
plicabla to sheep herding in such
sparsely settled regions as the ueat
deserts, which are used for winter
ranges. 1t Is felt that II the provi
sions of the bill are enforced 1t will
be a serious handicap to the sheer
grazers here. IL not death blow tt
the industry.
Mr.. Callister gave talk on thu
need or organizing for protection Il
the interests of the wool growers
here, and urged action in support o
the suggestions which have beer
made for revision of the tariff ant
which it is thought will result in ;
great deal of benefit to the grazeri
and all interested in the sheep in
dustry.
Speeches also were made b,

Mount Pleasant, Mr.. Johnson of Ida

Throughout the talks matters o
great interest to the wool grower
were discussed. 1t was said that thu

Lennon Telephone Co.

What our young city has need
ed for some time badly, is now
soon to be realized the instaur-
alton of a thoroughly uptodate
telephone service. In an inter
view had with Capt. E. F. Bar
rett, that gentleman pointed out
the fact that several times the
company was about to make final
arrangements, but each time the
work had to be gone over agaiu
because of the changes and ex-
pansions in the business district.
But this waiting has been fruit
full Of good results in that a num-
ber Of changes were made pos
sible, on account of which the
system installed will be the very
best and modern that can be had.
The rather slow progress of the
solid buildings of the town too
has tended to retard progress,
especially, as the central office is
to be located in the Grand River
Bank block upstairs. The ap-
preaching completion of this
building will now see the tele-
phone service in working order.
The arrangement is such that
it will not be necessary to ring
up" Central. You just take off
the ear piece, and thus are con-
nected. The attendant at the
station has her attention called to
your number by a minute cleo
trio light which begins to glow
Immediately upon your relieving
lever upon which the ear trans
mitter hangs. Having been in

A Cowardly Deed.

| One of the most dastardly
deeds ever committed, happened
at Mcintosh, S. D. Wednesday
afternoon. Ed. Mathis, a police
man femployed by the G.. M. &
st. P. Ry. noticed a negro walk
ing toward the west end of the
yards and overlook him. He
then had the colored man dance
to the persuasion of a Colts until
he was exhausted, and then com
manded him to go, at the same
time using his club on him.
| When the negro had a little start
Mathis commenced shooting at
him, and the negro went down at
the third shot, the bullet striking
him in the back and coming out
just above the heart. Then he
was allowed to lie near the track,
where he fell, for nearly half an
hour before Mathis sent a boy
after the station agent Bennett,
who came down with other men
in a wagon and carried the negro
to a tent.
The negro gave his name as
Arthur Thornton, Of Valley
Springs, Alabama. The doctor
considers his case hopeless.
Mathis was formerly a COW
puncher and under his cloak of
authority as railroad policeman
has played the role of a bully,
having beaten up other men
without giving them a chance to
leave town first.
Had Thornton been a white
man, Mathis would undoubtedly
have been lynched, and if he gets
his deserts should have at least
several years in the penintentiary
to reflect on his deed. 1t is
rumored that Mathis has skipped
to evade arrest, but let it be
hoped that he will be captured, to
have the full measure of penalty
meted out to him.

Rev. Charles Sickle. In reading

common people did not exist Kings
and thrones and dynasties are paraded

worthy of mention.

practically ignores the great kingdoms

follows almost exclusively the des-
tines of an Insignificant race. which
