standing, for il Is our purpose TO carry.
out TO the fullest extent any pledges

Mr. Low was asked regarding the
letters made public after the meeting
with the conference committee of man
ayers, and he took an optimistic view
Of the situation. He said:
The letters speak for themselves.
There are many points to be discussed
relating TO the stipulations on which
the arbitration will be based and 1t is
the business of the new board of medi-
alton and Cancellation appointed by the
President under the Newlands law TO
make every effort to bring the parties
TO an agreement on such points, for
without an agreement on the sdpula-
tfNns there can be no arbitration.

will await the coming of the board
Mr.. Garretson and w. q. Lee refused
to comment on the reply Of the mau-
ayers. They intimated however. that
no strike would he called until the
members Of the Board of Mediation
reached this city. when. they said, they
expected matters would develop rap
idly.

The position OF the employees was

yesterday 10 the 10000 members Of

grievances suggested for arbitration by
the railroad managers the bulletin con-
tinued:

Washington, July ls.-The new Federal

hold its first meeting here tomorrow

pare for immediate consideration Of the
controversy between the Eastern rail-
roads and their 5000 trainmen and con-
ductors The CAL was issued late to-day
by Judge William Lea Chambers. whose
appointment as commissioner with those
OF the other members Of the board was
sent to the Senate by President Wilson
earlier in the day.
According to custom, the nominations
were referred to a committee and Will
not be reported back TO the Senate until
Tomorrow but their immediate confirma-
ton is considered certain and Judge
Chambers is going ahead with plans for
the boards work. The judge will leave
Sunday night for New York 10 confer
with representatives OF the railroad and
the employees. and il is not likely that the
controversy will be brought officially TO
the attention Of the board before that
time.
The first meeting Of the board would
have been held this afternoon, but owing
TO the absence in Boston OF Louis +.
Post. Assistant Secretary OF Labor, II
was decided 70 wait until tomorrow.
Judge Chambers said the board would sit

Matters as Viewed at Distance,

In another column in todays paper appears
a letter from H. Gordon Matheson, son of Bishop
A. G. Matheson of this city, who is aboring in
the Swiss and German mission field in behalf OF
of the l.. d. S. church. Elder Matheson does not
hesitate to say that he gives no little credit to
The Record for the marked activity which has
developed in this section within the last few
months.
This letter is expressive of the same senti-
ments expressed by Elder Myron F. Higbee, OF
the Northern States mission located at PEORIA
ILL.,, in recent letter published in these columns
which was no doubt read with much interest by
all our readers, and is indicative of the impression
gained by those who are in position to Judge
of conditions in an unbiased and dispassionate
manner. These young men look over the paper
and note the changes and improvements see the
various articles on conditions affecting this section
of the state and they are in position where the
only information they get pertaining to home is
through the papers. except such as comes from
relatives and friends through the medium of let

with more than passing interest

are home, how much more effectively must it

The Folly of Desperation

For good many years Cedar City has been
incorporated and governed by regular form of
city government and for good many years its
ordinances have been published in The Record
In order to make the expense as little as possible
to the city, former manager c. S. Wilkinson made
a spe cia price to the city council of 25c per
inch. newspaper type, to make it possible for
the city to publish its ordinances instead of
posting them in public places, which is permitted
under the law. This price was lower than any
other rate for legal publications at that time and
since then the city has been publishing its ordin-
ances in the paper.
The years have passed and Cedar City has
grown, in size, in wealth, in Importance and in
influence. Now. due to change in conditions,
our contemporary. in desperate attempt to
secure the printing of the city ordinances. makes
a special plea and offers to print them for 10
cents an inch. Shades of Hamlet! Is the city too
poor to pay the rate now in effect which is as
low as in any other town in the state, or must the
city ordinances be had to sustain animation? or
is it case of doing work for class of patrons

the hopes of the officials of the Agricultural Col

counties. His views are in strict accord with
the position taken by this paper ever since the
change was first proposed. and in view OF the
fact that the Agricultural College has been able
to accomplish great changes in those localities
which the officers have undertaken to develop, it
is safe to assume that when they speak of the
possibilities here, they know whatsthey are talk

not given to making idle statements at any time

duties.

SCOUTS FIND GOOD CROP
IN THE CENTRAL LEAGUE

Fort Wayne, Ind, Aug. 12.-Major
league scouts are finding the Contra.
league a profitable hunting ground
and are buying the best players right
and left, without waiting to take
chances in the draft. At the present
rate of purchase it is estimated that
few players of major league caliber
will remain when the Central league
season closes, four weeks from yes
terday.
Central league team owners are do
i ing all they possibly can to encourage
| the scouts to watch their men in ac-
ton, for on the sale of young players
depends most of the earnings of the
magnates. While the average attend
ance in the six cities of the league has
been better than ever before, the gate
receipts will not much more than pay
expenses, and the owner must look
to the sale of players to make his
profit.
A few of the players that have been
taken recently from the ranks Of the
Central league are:
Hargrove, to the Chicago Nationals
from Terre Haute; Pfeffer, to Brook
Ign from Grand Rapids; Pick and
Kroy, to the New York Americans
from Terre Haute; Fabrique and Tute-
wiler, to Detroit, and Bowman, to
Cleveland from Grand Rapids.
1t is also reported that the Central
] club owEeFs are considering deals
4 for a number Of other players includ-
ing Fittery, Evansville; Madden, Terre
Haute; Wickland, Dayton, and Tyde,
man, Grand Rapids.

farm for the indianapolis associatica
club. and a number of its players
have been taken over during the sea-
son.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-When Edward
Reulbach, one of the last cogs in the
old Cub pennant machine, was traded
to the Brooklyn Dodgers the other day
for William Stack, he expressed no
sorrow at leaving the team with which
he had been so long and honorably as
ISOLATED. In fact, he was glad to go.
His reason was that he did not be
lieve that he could come back with a
team that had lost confidence in him.
Reulbach, coming from the ranks of
the collegians, joined the Cubs in 1905.
He developed quickly into an Unbeat-
able pitcher against certain teams and
was a prominent factor in winning the
Cub pennants of 1906, 1907 and 1908.
During the last four seasons he has
shown his best form only in flashes
and this season he has been used but
little. With a second division team
and plenty of work under new condi
lions it is believed that Reulbach will
round into better form. He is a com
paratively young man and has taken
good care of himself.
