WHY THEY ARE THANKFU UL.
,-r.cr EI1ye,- Tispatrl,

IN the Green River valley the harvest
has been bounteous; fruit trees were
heavily laden the past season, melons ana
vegetable products we're never more nor
plentiful and OF better quality, the irrl-
CATION systems OF the valley are now
fully financed and in successful opera,
ton, iasuring plenty OF water for all
time to come; real estate is selling ac-
tirely and the best lands are readily
bringing as high as $1,000 per acre; the
railroad company has erected depot
that is q grand credit to the town, being
the finest between Grand Junction and
Salt Lake City; the railroad Is also pre-
pairing TO build a $4,000 lupchroom and
eXpend many thousands OF dollars IN con-
structing caboose tracks, 30O-tou les
house. water system, lighting plant and
many other improvements preparatory
TO moving the general freisht and pas
senger division here; families arc moving
into the valley and many more are get
ting ready TO come from distant states
to make Green River valley their home
comers, are building ranch houses and
otherwise improving their holdings. thus
making plonty OF work for every one: the
Mutual Irrigation company will shortly
eXpend between $4,000 and $4,000 in the
construction OF a cement power house
that will be as enduring as the surround
ing mountains; we have the best OF pub
lie schools, good church privileges, good
hotels, mercantile lines are well repre-
sentcd a live newspaper modcrnly
equipped. an ice factory, cement block
factory, large opera house, active Com
mercial club splendid telephone system.
and all Of these aye prosperng.
There is no reason why the people of
tho Green River valley should not be
THANKFUL TO the Gtver for the many ma
tcral as well as spiritual blessings that
have been SO freely bestowed upon them
during the past year. and especially
should they be thankful for the promise
for the future. Every one will SIT down
10 a bounteous repast today-thc rich
mans table will contain no moro appc-
tiZiug delcacieS than will the poor mans
sprcad~-thero are no class lines here.
Thanksgiving Is hallowed. and that it
will be rightly appreciated and observed
goes without saying.

to the act of restoration explicitly stat
ing that tho act was in pursuance of
a showing that resistance TO the laws
had been abandoned. Then the first
State Legislature, which was composed
Of Mormons in the very large majority,
passed q law which legitimized all
children born in the State of Utah I'M
der polygarhous or plural marriage up
to and including January /, 1896.
Without the approval Of the leaders
OF the Mormon church, that law could
not have passed, nor would it have
been signed by the Governor. So
it may be readily seen that it not only
was the intention to discontinue un-
lawful cohabitation, but that tho in
tention had existed in the church for
a sufficient length Of time to warrant
placing the date limit to the period of
legitimacy in advance Of the passage
of tho law itself.
Without prolouging this presentation
further, The Tribune desires to say that
there were distinct pledges made and
solemn compact entered into during
the negotiations antedating Statehood,
and that they were all part Of the
history leading up to that eliminating
event This the Deseret News knows
to be true. We trust that the Brigham
City correspondent Of the News may
have opportunity to persue this state
ment so that he may see how the
church organ goes about it to deceive
him and to cheat his fellow citizens
out of the truth.

In the Second ward, the committee 5
address shows the nepotism of Nh
Giauquc, his paTtiaGty in the matters
he controls; his custer Of all but Nor
mons where he has the say, his filling
of all position in his gift with his fell
low churchmen, and the utter, ridicu~
Ious. shameless farce Of treating Mr..
Giauque as nonpartisan, or his acts
AS a member of the board OF education
as nonsectariap. The committee shows
that in every possible way Mr.. Giau-
que shows his partisanship, aud in
every act his sectarism.
That committee goes into an ana
lysis of the claim that the Mormon
nominations are nonpartisan, and cx-
plodes that claim utterly, leaving not
peg for it to hang on. And the com.
u1ittee, after its analysis and finding,
says that it "fails TO find evon one

port, and concludes with these sig.

U.S CONSUL BLAMED
FOR THE CAPTURE OF CEIIsA,
 HONDURAS.
consul Reyn0las Conveyed Conmuni- cation from the RevoIutiOnists to the 0nfelaIa of the
 City of Ceiba.

Mobile. Aug. 3.--The Norwegian fruit steamer Bodo. which arrived here today from Ceiba. Honduras. brought the following story of the recent cap ture of Ceiba by revolutionists and the part played therein by United States Viee-Consul Reynolds.
 On the day the town was taken, MT. Reynolds started from Ceiba to Tegcui- galpa. overland. When five or six miles out from ceiba he came with q body of revolutionists. Mir. Reynolds
 was instructed by the oficer in com
 mard to carry q note to Cetba fnquir-
 ing whether it was the desire of that town to fight or surrender. The in-
 structions were rather in the form of command. 50 Mir. Reynolds headed back to Ceiba wit hthe document. which he delivered on arrival, There was con- sternation in Ceiba when that piece of paper was unfofded and its contents read by oficials of Ceiba. Members of the city governing body were called to- gether at once. It was decided as there were few guns in ceiba and a scarcity of fighting men to give up, the decision was sent to the revolu-
 tionists and ceiba was taken with little talk and no bloodshed whatever.
 It Is said that Mfr. Reynolds is blalm~ ed for the capture of the town by citi-
 gems of Ceiba, Just why he Is b1aimed those on boar dthe Bodo do not know.

While crossing the Tallapoosa river in a batteau R. V. Wright. a well known white citizen. was shot twice and in- stantly killed.

The boat was found later floating down stream. Up- on failing to return home that night search was begun Sunday morning and the body was found about . o'clock.
 Suspicion rested upon BIll Phillips, who had been convicted for selling whiskey in that section, and who was out under bond. It seems that Wright was the principal witness who was to appear against Phillips in ( case to be brought at the August term of court It is said that Phillips had threatened tho life of Wright unless he left the country.

AERONAUTs DIFFER.
As to Measure of Success Attained in
 Aerial Flight.

An to Measure of Success Attained In Aerial Flight.
 Washington, Aug. 3.---Just as phy- sicians differ as to the best remedy for an incurabIe disease so the leading aeranauts dlffer as to the measure of success that has been attained in aerial flight in its application to war pur- poses.
 At Fort Meyer yesterday. while the motor of Captain Baldwin's military dirigible was being tested, a discus sion among several aeranauts indicated the difference of opinion existing on this point Charles J.. Stobel. like Captain Baldwin, believes in the future success Of aeroplanes. MT. Strobel, who is one of the, largest manufactur- CTS of balloons and dirrigibles, was at Fort Meyer yesterday to see Captain Baldwin in regard to certain plans which the two aeranauts are consider ing for next year.
 The diriglble balloon, even of 1,000,- 900 cubic feet gas capacity" said Mir. Strobel, will never be of any use in attacking an enemy. If 1000 pounds Of explosives were to be dropped from such an airship. the sudden release of so much weight would send the balloon aloft Into the clouds So rapidly that those piloting would be suffocated be- fore sufficient gas could be allowed to
 
 great difference in weight. Even though some arrangement now un- known should be devised by means of which sufficient gas could be relieved and suf1cient air pumped into the bal loon to compensate for the sudden loss of weight. there would still be the danger of losing too much gas, result ing In the airship falling among the enemy"
 Captain Charles S. Wallace of the Chief Signal oh1cer's office. disagreeB somewhat with Mir. Strobel.
 While it is true" said Captain Wal lace. "that the dirigible in its present state of development would be of little value in attacking a fort. 1t would have great advantages over the aero plane for reconnaissances. One of the agreements reached at The Hague Peace Conference was that no explosive can be dropped or projected from an airship. The purpose of a dirigible such as Count Zeppelin's. is, therefore. to gather information concerning the enemy's position.
 Tn the car of a balloon such as this several men who have an opportunity to take photographs. make sketches and take notes of the country sur rounding the enemy's positions. and of conditions existing within the enemy's lines. They are many experiments yet to bs made which will determine better the value of balloons in warfare"
