Of ioureheads for the vessels
He came TO America in 1871 when
eighteen years of age, and arrived III
Salt Lake three years later. During
his residence here he worked as ear
penter on many buildings important in
those days, Among these was the state
house at Fillmore, proposed as the capi.
tai Of the state by Brigham Young,
then governor because of its ]oca tion
near the central part Of the state. He
was also member of an expedition
sent against unruly Indians IN Tooele
county during the sos.
] 1860 he removed to Idaho, settling
at Franklin. the then principal pioneer
settlement of the state, and thus be-
came listed among Idaho s pioneers. At
Franklin he engaged in farming and
fruit raising and also followed carpen
try as a trade.
Mr. Stalker was prominently identi
fed with many stirring incidents of the
early days In Idaho, during much of
which time the settlers were compelled
TO live in a fort at Franklin for pro
lection from the Indians. On one occa
sion. as related last night by one OF
his daughters. he was sent. with the
Mormon bishop at Franklin. as an emis-
sarv TO band Of 800 hostile Indians,
who had been aroused against the
whites by the killing Of a drunken
brave who was pursuing one OF the
woman settlers. During all one night
and the greater part of \ day, the
emissarics ''pow vowed with the In
dians and held them until the arrival
of miiitiamen from across the Utah
line
Mr.. Stalker returned To Salt Lake
from Idaho in 1904. During his long
residence in the state to the north, he
was twice member Of the legislature
and also held several minor connty and
Offices. He retired from ac-
tive business at the time Of his return
IN this city, aud had lived since then
at the late residence. He is survived
hy eleven children living, for the most
part, in Idaho and Utah. Three daugh
ters are residents Of this city. They

1.-The people who own public utilities

vice corporations. said j. Charles
Ross, general manager of the Utah

for smelling out the future. They
do not sink hundreds of thousands of
