Ex-senator r. F. Pettigrew Of
South Dakota was at the Spokane

Moses Lake, where, with others,
he is interested in an irrigation

1896. He says the insurgent repub-

INTERURBAN LINE REVIVED.

The Tribune is rcjoiced to see that
the splendid project TO build an
interurban line from Utah county towns
TO Salt Lake, which was dropped by
Uncle Jesse Knight. has been revived
IN even more promising form. To be
sure. Mr.. Simon Bambereer, who tells
of this revival, does not guarantee any
thing, and the whole project is yet in
the stage of negotiation. Still, it seems
such a promising project, so sure of
good returns, that one may be allowed
rather more than an ordinary hope Of
its success.
Mr.. Bamberger himself is a man who
would know more about this sort of
project than any one else in this re-
glon. His own line between here and
Ogden, which he has brought to such Il
remarkable success, was in its inception
an interurban road. II is, in fact, such
now, and mighty successful one, too
Mr.. Bambcrgcr understands the cur.
rents of travel and of trade in this val
10y as no one else does, and TO see him
himself in this interurban
project is in itself an encouraging sign
We have no doubt but that he will lend
such aid in advice and information as
will be extremely valuable to the
DC strong factor in the case when the
inc is brought to ultimate success there

accounts. If we do not, tho country
will be drained of its money and securi-
tics at a sensational rate. The only
way to effect this desired result is to
pass a new tariff law which will put
the country on sounder basis with

NO SLUGGING MATCHES!

There appears TO be an effort on the
part of the county authorities 10 un.
load pri2c.6ghts or slugging matches
upon the city, Mayor Bransford is dis
tinctly opposed to being used as a tool
| for the church civil officials in this re.
spoct. The church officials allow a slug
giDg match with disastrous results to
those who attended and were precipi.
tated into the lake by reason of the Civ
ing way of the stairway and floor. Let
the unenviable toleration Of prize
fights and slugging matches remain with
the church officials, whcro it now is. 1t
would, no doubt, be extremely crafty
ing to those worthless and unworthies
If they could be put in a position whore
they could say TO those who criticise
them for allowing the prize fights, that
the American party also allows as bad
or even worse within tho city That is
position that they should by no means
be placed in. The American party of.
hcials cannot stand for prize fights or
slugging matches, these are against the
law, positively and absolutely; and the
political bunko gamo which the church
party county authorities are trying to
work on the American administration of
this city must be headed off at the

THE PRICE OF WOOL.

A considerable effort is being made
throughout the country. and some
locally, to convince the wool growers
in their interest, and that it is their
duty to come to its rescue and sup
| port. The fallacy of this is evident on
two grounds: First, the wool schedules
were not changed in the new law i'm the
least from the schedules Of the Dingley
bin, so that the wool schedules in this
new law arc out Of date, and do not

there is no foreign market for Ameri.

The American woolcn manufacturers
understand this fully, and take ad-

wool growers must sell to them or not

buy foreign wool at much cheaper r
rates than they can buy American wool.
and they hold prices down to the
lowest figure, with the tariff added.
There are some foreign woods they have
to buy, anyway, because the same
