To Abandon Old Route.

Heretofore the sheep which have gone
into the canyons over the old sheep trails
have come from the north and wcster
part Of the county and have proceeded
In generally southerly and casterly d.
rection to Twelfth South street, thence
east TO Twentynrst East street, passing
the state prison and isolation hospitals
and thence up the canyons into Morgan
county.
BY the new route the sheep VIII be
driven over the new right OF way pro-
vided by the city by the purchase OF a
strip OF ground from T.. l. Jeremy at
cost Of $500 over bridge over the
Jordan river, the latter to be built at
an estimated cost of $500 10 the ground
now owned by the city on The east bank
OF the river and thence 80 a point on the
county road near the Salt Lake Pack
Ing companys plant, thence north into
Davis county.
1t Is also contended that the new route
will place the sheep away from the resi-
dence district and IN close proximity to
the stockyards and the railroads where
shipping facilities can he readily had,
Route to Be Fenced.
II is proposed to complete the con-
struction OF the route, which, through
the ground purchased and that owned
by the city, is to be fenced on both
sides, by early spring and In ample time
for the driving OF the sheep next sea-
son
The commissioners expect that the
sheepmen will insist on using the old
route. but employees OF the water de-
partment are to be instructed to stop
the herds. Then. should the sheep in
terests bring suit against the city, 1t is
believed that the city can sustain its
stand In court by showing that a route
has been provided in accordance with
the state law.
During the past season. the driving
OF sheep through the canyons has been
the subject OF much publicity and many
reports have been had from both city
and state health officials on the posi-
bility of communicating the city water
supply by allowing the sheep on the wa
tersheds.

REFUGEES TO RETURN

President Joseph F. Smith Of the
Mormon church returned TO Salt Lake
Yesterday afternoon after a month s
vacation spent with members Of his
family at Ocean Park and other Pacific
coast points.
The venerable head Of the church is
much improved in health and wears a
ruddy coat of tan upon his face from
constant exposure to the sun, He de
clares that be never felt better.
Several hours after his arrival
President Smith appeared at the ofhce
Of the first presidency and plunged &C
lively into the arduous tasks of his
position, assuming at once the CON
trolling reigns of the church, which
have been in the hands of President
Anthon II. Lund during his absence.
Mexican Situation Worries.
~ enjoyed myself to the ut
most, and am greatly benefited by the
rest and recreatIou," he said, "Of
course the precipitation Of trouble
among our people in Mexico was a
source of concern TO ME. and 1T was
a great shock to me when the reports
came that the colonists were forced
to flee from their homes, leaving every
thing to the lawless rebels. | kept in
constant touch with the authorities at
FL Paso and other points in the af-
fected districts. and gave such advice
and instructions as ] deemed best.
AT present we have no information
bearing on the Mexican situation
other than comes IN the daily news
and In occasional kilograms to the first
presidency, but from all that + can
CLEAN on the question 1 believe the
worst of the trouble is over.
Pleased With Outlook.
81 am glad to hear that the refugee
colonists have decided TO send detach-
ments back to the abandoned settle
ments 10 prevent further looting. 1 his
can be done safely, | believe, now
that the federal troops have advanced
our peoples district. lf these men
who return can save the abandoned
ranches and settlements from further
loss, it Is likely that the colonists will
be able 10 repossess their homes in the
near future.
'iThe church will do all in it's power
to aid the colonists in re-esta blishing
themselves, but it will desist from ad-
v'sing them as to what steps they shall
take first. We believe the colonists
themselves are better posted as to real
conditions and can act for them
selves.'
President Smith said that while on
the coast he was free from the breath
ing trouble that had bothered him for
so long before he went, and that his
heart action was much better. He
noted a slight return of this trouble
upon his return yesterday to higher
altitude, but does not think it will be
permanent.
