main over two million acres of land, is
one of the most important decisions
ever rendered in the United States on
such a question. The original land
grant was made in 1866 for the build

The grant was to the Oregon Central
Railroad Company Two years later,
however, this company, seeing that it
could not comply with the terms of
the act making the grant, within the
time specified, petitioned for an ex-
tension of time, and also asked for
twenty thousand acres additional LAND

CITY COUNCIL ACTION,

The city council, at its session on
Monday evening, unanimously voted
for the city stables proposition. This
we believe to be good move, and
we think the effect of it will be for
efficiency and economy. Action was
and the idea of having municipal
street asphalt repairing plant drew out
a good deal of discussion. 1t is claimed
that the city already owns such a
plant, but if so the proof of it is
rather uncertain. and still more vague
is the assurance that this plant is in
working order,
We do not observe that anything was
done with regard to the protection OF
City Creek canyon from the gravel
despoilers. There would appear to be
no reason why the council should al
low of any further destruction of the
banks of City Creek canyon. Large
damage has already been done, and so
far from allowing any more of it, the
council would do itself credit if II
absolutely stopped all further gravel
digging, either in the canyon itself oI
on its banks, and devoted itself TO the
beginning of repairs of the destruction
already committed by the gravel dig
gers. The revenue which the city de-
rives from the gravel business is alb
solutely Insignificant compared with

DETACHMENT of the natural beauties of
the canyon, the bcfouling of the stream,
which is necessary accompaniment of
the gravel operations, inasmuch as all
Of the refuse is bound TO wash into
the creek, and as this refuse is evident
and cannot be otherwise disposed of,
ought to bring the council to realiza-
tion of its remissness in allowing the
continued digging of gravel on the
banks of City Creek. We feel certain
that if the councilmen would take the
trouble to go into the canyon, examine
what has been done and what it is
proposed to do, and consider the whole
question fairly and with open mind
there would be unanimous opinion
that the gravel digging in City Creek
canyon and its banks must absolutely
stop.
City Creek canyon is a great natural
park for Salt Lake. 1t should he held
for that purpose, and whatever is done
in the canyon itself or on its banks
should be done in pursuance of the
policy to develop the park TO its most
beautiful and practical limits, this
for the benefit of all the people, upon
which benefits no contractor, no pri

AMBASSADOR HILLS CASE.

The Eastern press continues to dis
cuss with much animation the case of
Embassador David Jayne Hill. who was,
as supposed. virtually forced out Of the
mission to Germany because his
salary of 1000. did not enable him
to keep up the style which was desired
by the German court. On his arrival
in Berlin, ambassador Hill took apart
ments instead of a big house. which
displeased the Emperor. Then he moved
into Il separate house, and the Emperor
never visited him there. But TO be
ostraciscd by the Emperor is TO be neg
lected. and so Embassador Hill lost all
standing and opportunity for serving
his country The retirement of Mr..
Hill on this account is regretted

1870, another extension of rime was
granted Soon after this second ex'
tension. the Oregon Central Company
was succeeded by the Oregon \ Call1
fornia Railroad Company, which built
the road from Sacramento To Portland.
1t appears. therefore, that the com
pany which built the road built IT
under the extensions and limitations
in the law IL il had not been for
these extensions, there would have been
no grant. But the succeeding companies,
tho Southern Pacific being now the
road in interest, paid no attention To
the limitations, while enjoying the land
grant.
The court holds that this is wrong.
Whatever might have been the case,
if the Oregon Central company had
proceeded TO build the road under the
grant of 1866, it is held that since the
road was not built until after the cx-
tensions had been granted, and the
conditions had been affixed TO tho grant,
the road can claim only through them,
and those conditions must prevail IN
the Interpretation of the law. And
as the Southern Pacific undertakes to
hold under the original grant of 1856,
it thereby forfeits its title and must
surrender the lands.
A further effect of the decision is,
that those settlers upon the land who
have depended upon railroad title there.
TO, lose their claims also, and worse yet,
do not obtain any sort of right under
any of the public land laws of the
United States, since the lands were not

The account which mentlonS this pos

eX-Mayor Mcclellan, who recently
visited Europe ostensibly for recrca-
ton, but, as now alleged, for the pur-
pose of confcrring with Mr.. Hill upon
this question. The dispatch quoting
Mr., Hill in opposition to this says
that no statement OF the kind was
authorized, which may we'll be
and the statement yet correct.

pIansiblity of this rumor. coupled with
the fact that Mr.. Mcclellan, who is

Mr. Hill to serve as president of Prince,

University, gives Importance to the
rumor as detailed. If this should be

The Hunter.

The wind blows DER the marshes,
There's music in the reeds;
Beyond the busy city
A winding highway leads
From where the strong are straining
And weak men are complaining
At wrongs that never cease;
By wood and yellow stubble
1t winds away from trouble
To pleasure and to peace.
The quail forsakes the thicket
To venture through the glen,
And in the busy city
Men cheat their fellow men;
The warning rivals wrangle,
The tumble and the jangle
Continues all the day,
But by the forest edges
And down past singing sedges
A long road winds away.
The wild ducks wings are weary,
For it has travelled far
From where the sky-blue waters
And northern lowlands are;
Far from the busy the city,
Where few men yield the pity
For which the beggar pleads
A wide road winds serenely
Where south winds, blowing keenlv
Make music in the reeds.

THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE.

The primary election for the nomi-
nation of a candidate for governor
will occur one week from tomorrow,
and an unbiased view of the situa-
ton points to the success of former
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown. The ef-
fort, for political purposes, to line up
the people on false issue has failed
in a large measure, and prominent
prohibition leaders and ardent local
option advocates are giving him earn
est and active support, to say moth
ing of the rank and file who believe
in him for the things for which he
stands, admire him for his great abil-
ity and answering and fearless de-
votion to duty, and intend to give
him the endorsement of a second
term because of the splendid admin
istration that characterized his in
cumbency of the office.
Here in Terrell all three of the
candidates will get some votes, but it
is generally conceded that the race
is between Governor Brown and
Judge Richard B. Russell, with the
friends of both claiming the county.
The old fractional lines have almost
been wiped out, and prominent men
who were active in behalf of Gov
ernor Smith in all of his campaigns
and helped to make the fight for him
are now supporting either Governor
Brown or Judge Russell. The form
er is holding practically all of his
old strength-about 45 per cent Of
the voters-which, taken in connec-
ton with the large number of acces-
sions to his ranks and a division of
the remainder between his two oppO-
nents, would seem to make it reas-
onably certain that Terrell county
will be found in his column on the
night of December 18th.
Be sure to turn out and vote on
that day.
