According to report lately issued by the
British board of trade, a government depart
ment, the cost Of living in the United Kingdom
is not higher today than it was about thirty
wears ago, or in 1884, and is actually lower than
it was IN the years 1871 to 1884 by a percentage
varying from 10 to 81 per cent. As the rise in
prices Of necessaries in recent years has been
worldwide the evidence of this fact being the
chief feature of the British report according to
q review, Of iii in the London Spectator prob
ably high prices in the former times mentioned
were also universal AS to the United States,
the statistics available at present writing begin
with the year 1890, yet they contain evidence
that the American situation corresponded to the

DENY A DIGKER
FOR STEAMER
K|IlIIfA

Although the new InterIsland
steamer Kilauea. representing an In
IFestment Of about half million dol.
lars. occupies mooring at the local
rotten row, the vessel has been the
subject Of much comment ii coast
shipping circles, anent report that
the vessel was soon to change own,
efship and pass into the hands OF the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company.
Officers identified with the Inter.
Island in this city as well as the Pa
cific Coast company at San Francis
co. have entered q nat denial that
any such proposition has been consid-
cred.
It is said that the rumor IS simply
a revival OF stories that have been
circulated during the last few years
regarding the intention Of the Pacific
Coast company or some other concern
to place in operation on the Eureka
run one or two fast and modern
steamers. Considerable excitement
was created at Eureka when the rli-
NOR leaked out and for two DAYS the
wires were kept warm by those who
wished to verify the news.

Kau run to windward Hawaii ports
when first placed in commission. III
was found that the Mauna Isoa could
be operated over this route In a far
more economical manner, thereby

list.

impassable. 1t is his plan, he said, to
build railroad about sixty miles from

up mineral and coal land and be boon

Sit Down to Banquet.

Arriving at Wandamere. the pioneers
strol!ed about for time. took a short
rest and then at / o clock In the after
noon sat down to an elaborate banquet
spread on the south side OF the lake. They
and their attendants at the banquet
numbered nlnety-two. and the feast was
greatly enjoyed. The walters were de-
scendants OF the pioneers, and they saw
served. There were not set speeches. but
conversation was lively and many remi-
niscences were exchanged.
After the banquet, the pioneers again
retired 10 the shade and later they were
gathered in the nature pavilion on the
southeast shore OF the pretty little lake,
where Brigham II. Roberts delivered an
address, which was interesting and a lit
tie out Of the ordinary. He dealt with
INC history OF the pioneers told Of the
Salt Lake City. and referred to the bene-
hts that had como TO the farmers through
the action OF the sea gulls In destroying
the crickets. which were devastating the
crops crops: MI MT ,,t Roberts then then said that 1t
people should be isolated. Soon after
they came here, he said gold was dis
covered in California and there was q
rush OF people through Utah. This, he
added. meant much to the little bands
here. AT latter date, ne said, through
olunoer upon the part Of the adminis-
tratlon an army was sent to Utah and
this also contributed TO the lack of iso-
latlon.
Mr.. Roberts declared that the pioneers
did not come TO Utah TO build UP state
for themselves. but that they desired to
ouild for all the peoples OF the earth,
In this connection he said that the Nor
mons furnished troops for the Mexican
war and that they would have furnished
more men II the government could have
accepted them. He added that the Nor
mons were glad OF the opportunity.
