CARDINAL GIBBONS
ON TOTAL ABSTINENCE

Chicago. Aug. 4.--Cardfnal Gibbons.
head of the Roman Catholic church in
the United States, and recognized as
q hearty supporter of the cause of tenn
perance, last evening declared that en-
forced abstinence in Chicago and 9th
er large cities would be impracticable.
The reyocatio of all selling licenses.
he declared would result in a surrepti-

II am heartily in sympathy With the
total abstinence movement" Cardinal
Gibbons said. at is a wide movement
and hope 1t will spread to the most
remote corners of the nation. In the,
rural parts of the country and in the
smaller towns and cities there is every
sign that the agitation is gaining
foothold which eventually must mean
success and widespread prohibition.
However much | am in favor Of
total abstinence, though. feel that in
the large cities, such as Chicago, it
would prove impracticable, and If laws
providing for the revocation of licenses
were enforced in these cities. L fear the
result would be the surreptitious sale
OF liquor
THE problem is one which will re-
qiire much time and the best efforts
of our legislators and statesmen to
solve but, judging from the results al
ready obtained. and every one else
cannot but feel that the total absti-
nencc movement is going on toward /.

men working night and day, rapid pro-
gress is being made in construction of
the Copper River & Northwestern rail-
way of which 95 miles is already in OPP
Grafton
The work on the road thus far this
summer has consisted principally in
the erection of steel bridges replacing
temporary pile structures. The first Of
the bridges, completed a few weeks ago,
consists of a $50 foot steel span. The
second bridge, work on which is now.
lin progress. will be nearly 200 feet
longer than the first.
The greatest work to be accomplish
ed, however. is the construction of the
million-dollar centilever bridge across
the main channel of the Copper river
between Miles and Cbilds glacier Both
these glaciers are active and discharge
huge foes of ice which drift down the
river. The bridge Will be more than
1880 feet long.
The railroad when completed will be

before the state board in earnest pro-
test These gentlemen call special at
tention to the fact that Utah county
livestock is owned mostly in small lots
by individuals. and there are no large
herds of either cattle or sheep ranging;
over the mountains. So in neither case
can there be any hiding UP of sheep or
cattle out of the sight of the assessor.
Everything is on the square In their
shire. with SIG full value for cattle and
$3.50 for sheep. The county books have
been made up and tax notices sent out;
and now to increase the tax as proposed
they hold, would be a gross injustice
on stock owners. and an injustice on
the county officials who would be thus
forced to go all over their books again.
The legislature can and ought to
straighten out the difficulties attending
the solution OF the problem.

.THE STORY UNFoLDED.


1t was through Mrs. Ryan that the
whole story OIL the REGULATION was OBJ
tanned, Several Incidents occurring in
rapid succession tended to connect her
with the pilfering to which Mrs Scott
had admitted, and when called in to
the office of Mr.. I.angton Monday she
mot only confessed to her share In the
8thefts but told OF the work Of Mrs.
Scott, who after being caught and con-
Tossing had left the city.
Although stubborn at first, after real
5izing that she was fairly caught, Mrs
Ryar, told freely the story Of the theft
According to her statement, however,
she had been a dupe and rather q will
ing accomplice than a principal. In
her confession she said that some six
or seven Weeks ago Mrs. Scott, who
-wsss in charge then of the department
including silk piece goods, hosiery, en-
shroideries, laces and finer grades OF
goods, had approached her with the
suggestion or the theft. Mrs. Ryan WAS
in charge of the millinery department
and ribbons, and the proposed scheme
was that Mrs. Scott might take what
ever she desired from the millinery de-
partment, while Mrs. Ryan was to be
given carte blanche in the department
controlled by Mrs. Scott.

BELLEVUE FEELING GLOOMY
ROOters Disappointed Over Result Of
Hastings Contest.
MANY CHANGES IN BACK FIELD
Enfield out OF IL for Time and Bic
shRkeup Necessary Before Game
with TRrkio Coming
Saturday.

When the Observation-Disclosures game was
over Saturday and the condition of the
Bellevue team taken into consideration
with two hard games yet in the schedule,
gloom began to gather over the Bellevue
foot ball supporters.
At present conditions do not look bright
for the team. The game Saturday was a
great disappointment to the Bellevue root
ers. The team was by no means I'm it's
best condition for the game.
Every effort is now being made to mold
a machine into shape that will be able to
make a good showing against Tarkio on
the home grounds Saturday. The scrim-
mage and signal work this week has been
hard and long. New plays will be used
owing to the change In the lineup.
Fullback Enfield, who has always been
a constant ground gamer, is compelled to
stay out OF the game all this week and
possibly the remainder Of the season. This
necessltates a complete change I'm the back
field. Captain Morton is again at quarter
back, Dow, who has been at half. is put
at end, and Claybaugh and Mohr at halves,
with Fowler, a sub linesman, at fullback.
Fowler Is a heavyweight and has been do
ing some good work, but lacks the expert
ence necessary to be an efficient fullback.
Taking everything into consideration II
looks like a big Job. Tarkio has a strong
team this year and has not as yet met de-
feat. It succeeded in winning from Creigh-
ton, but Bellevue will be in shape Saturday
to play a fighting game.
