UTAH TO HAVE GOLD
DREDGING OUTFIT

j P. Hite, VINO has been placer mining
on the Colorado river in Glenn's canyon,
past was visitor in this city Monday
Mr.. Hite states that there arc about
eight outfits on the river now and that
they are all getting satisfactory results,
AS yet the methods employed are crude,
but assurance has been given that in
the near future a party Of Chicago capt.
talists will go into the district, install a
sive scale. The gold values found In the
section occur in a sea-w wash gravel. and
the manner OF their original disposition Is
still largely q matter of conjecture some
claiming that the values have been
washed down from the Henry mountains,
while others maintain that they were
deposited in the long past by glacial dis
turbances.

JUDGE STA[LCUP
SUES CITY FOR
DAMAGES

Claiming that two lots at South
Fifth and Cliff avenue had been
ruined by the construction of
street car tracks in front of them,
John G. Stallcup this morning
filed suit for $4,000 against the
Pacific Traction company. The
suit was dismissed by Judge
Easterday, and an amended COM
plant asking for $4,000 damages
was filed against the city of Ia
coma.
Mr.. Stallcup claims in the
amended complaint that the city
granted the Traction company
permission to construct a double
track line along Cliff avenue and
In front of his lots, without ask
ing his permission.
He alleges that the lots, which
were on level with the avenue
before the re-grade was made, are
greatly disfigured at present and
that the two tracks take up SO
much of the right of way that his
private property is being used as a
public street.
Mr.. Stallcup is prominent at
torney of the city, and was for
merly Judge of the superior court
OF Pierce county.

T ENDORSES
PLAN Of
CANAL
President Sends Special
Message to Solons Civ
ing Favorable Report
on Panama Work.
(By United Press Leased Wire


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. II.
President Roosevelt today sub
mitted to congress in special
message a report of the board OF
engineers endorsing the present
plan of construction of the Pa
mama canal. Roosevelt said that
It would be inexcusable folly 20
change the plan to a sea level
canal. He said:
"I am happy to report that the
accompanying document shows IN
the clearest fashion that congress
was wise in the position 1t TOOK.
In fact the report not only de-
termines definitely the type of
canal but makes evident that
hereafter attacks on this type OF
canal-the lock type-is In real
ity merely an attack upon the pol
icy of building any canal at all. +"
Referring to the engineers re-
port, the president said:
II commend most careful con-
sideration of their report. The
report shows that the only critt-
cism that can be made on the
work at the isthmus is that at
times there has been almost an
excess Of caution in providing
against possible trouble.
"As to the Gatun dam itself,
they (the engineers) show that
the dam is not only safe, but that
on the whole the plan already
adopted would make it needlessly
high and strong. Accordingly they
recommend that the height be re-
duced by twenty feet, which
change I've accordingly directed"
