SENATE CONFIRMS DEBLIEUX'S
APPOINTMENT AS
POSTMASTER.

The contest over the appoint
ment of postmaster to succeed the
late Judge Breda ended Monday
when the Senate confirmed Prcsl-
dent Wilson's appointment of MIR.
Charles DeBlieux for that posi-
ton.
After the election of the demo-
cratic president, a number Of gen.
tlemen entered the race.
They were all good democrats
and any one of them would have
been entirely competent to dis
charge the duties of the office.
1t was understood at the time,
that Mr.. Aswell would recommend
the man who had the strongest
endorsement from the patrons of
the postoffice.
Several of the applicants circu-
lated petitions, and the contest
proceeded AS such contests usually
do; but owing to the death of
Judge Breda and the consequent
vacancy in the Office, an imme-
diate recommendation was re-
CURED of Mr.. Aswell by wire
from Washington and he respond
cd by sending in the name of MIR.
DeBlieux. who up to that time
had secured signers to a petition
for his appointment, which no
democrat could have well ignored.
Then it was that some of the
boys conceived the plan of getting
up fight over the matter.
The factional contest in this
town had lasted SO long and been
so bitter that it was unreasonable
to expect peace at any time and
on any terms, and lust for the
sake of making things lively and
worrying Mr.. Aswell, his oppo-
nents and the friends of the sever
al other candidates suddenly con-
ceive the idea that a great and

We Can Save You Money
With Our New Catalogue.
Thr REXALL Store.

We will have next month an announce
ment Of interest to every customer OF this
store.
This will be concerning a new cata-
logue, from which we can sell you any
item that you can possibly want This is
a new arrangement we have made to add
to our store service and to increase the
scope Of our usefulness to our customers.
Here is the situation:
On everything wa carry in stock we
can defeat retail mail order competition.
The catalogue houses know that hey can
not compete with the country merchant
on the lines that he carries in his store.
We might as we'll admit, however, that
the big catalogue houses have been
squeezing us somewhat on these large
lines.
In a town like this and in store the
size that ours necessarily must be, we are
unable to carry the many thousands Of
dollars investment that would be necessary
should we offer a complete line Of furni-
ture and other big items that you use
around your home.

MFRS PANKuURsT DENIED.

There was practically unanimous
exnression among the newspapers Oh uhe
11nited states that it would he vast
mistake for the immigration oiiic'a4s
Of our ports to interfere III any way
with the incoming OF Mis- fahkhurs1'
Our Immigration officialdom had a les
son that ought to be remembered by
them in their attempt to prevent the
incoming Of Castro. But Castro won
easily, and Mrs, Pankhurst would win
inst as easily in case her incoming
were opposed But that opposition
would give her an advertisement be-
vond all measure compared with her
merits and the Importance Of her pro-
posed visit. And yet the Castro non
sense is repeated against Mrs, Fank-
hurst
There is not the slightest reason IN
law or in common sense for interfering
with Mrs. Pankhurst g coming into the
United States She could not possibly
do any harm here, while II she IN
duleed here in tho pranks und rawlings
that she is quoted ms having INDUCED in
in Great Britain, she would disgust the
suffrapettes Of America, and they
would themselves be anxious to hustle
her back to England. In fact, the suf-
fragettes here are very much disposed
to give Mrs Pankhurst the cold shoul-
der as it is; but this attempt to pre-
vent her landing will almost neces-
sarily compel them to go to her support,
at least to the point that she is en-
titled so to come to this country if she
so desires,
There is probably no doubt at all
that Mrs. Pankhurst is coming here to
raise money for her militant campaign
in England. re she should raise much
money here enough so as to enable
her to carry her distracted campaign to
even greater lengths than she has done
heretofore, that would be unfortunate
for England. But Great Britain has
made no protest against the landing of
Mrs. Pankhurst in any Of our ports, and
until Great Britain does this it seems
to be an act of voluntary and servile
zeal upon the part of our immigration
to assume that Great Britain
would be pleased with the exclusion of
Mrs Pankhurst.
We have trusted most heartily all
along that in fairness no oppo-
sition would be made Of any kind to
Mrs. Pankhurst landing in the United
States, for reasons stated, and because
there is not particle of sense in any
such opposition. But folly Is repeated,
and no doubt another court decree will
be needed to abate that folly.

nounces, in addition to his other scan
dalous offenses and declarations, that
he is in favor of "plenty of good horse
racing, plenty of good, honest poker
playing, and plenty Of game chicken
fighting
There is platform for you, that
might fairly win in the Philippines or
in some OF the provinces of Mexico,
Chicken fighting, "honest poker play
ing" and horse racing, Joined to
Bleasc's other political plsnks, are
surely a platform Of quality for the
Governor of n State to put out as the
principles of his campaign for election

fication Of it all is, that it is rather
moro likely than not Blease will be

ing campaign of his by the voters OF

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The most interesting business event
of the week just past is the sale of the
| Salt Lake Telegram, announced lasT
evening in that paper, to Mr. George
| e. Halo and associates. The new own
ership takes control OF the Telegram
on Monday, and the announcement IS
that the paper will continue zealously
to contend for tho best interest Of Salt
Lake.
The week has given us fine weather
throughout, but there has been n con-
siderable fall Of snow In the hills, fos-
tcring the winter campaign in supplies.
The Bountiful extension of the Utah
Light e. Railway street car track has
been completed, and beyond to Center
vile. When the rolling stock is ready
the line will be put in operation.
The programme of the Utah Power
& Light Company is explained by Chief
Engineer Chevers. 1t contemplates
electrical Transmission over the Idaho
and Utah lines now being installed by
his company, and he states that the
ultimate proposition is to install a
double line Of steel towers 135 miles
long, each carrying two circuits of cop
per wire five~eighths Of an inch in
diameter, which will transmit from
Grace, Idaho, to Salt Lake total Of
100000 kilowats of electrical energy,
with a loss of hut 3 per cent. The first
line, he states will be ready within
few months. The voltage is to be l30,-
900, as against the $4,000 now in use
The company is putting in distribut
ing sub-station six miles west Of the
city, which will eventually cover eight
acres of ground. From this point the
voltage will be lowered for service in
Salt Lake and surroundings. An i'm
mense amount Of money is required for
this great operation.
Secretary S, w. Mcclure, of the Ma
tional Woolgrowers Association, is ac-
tive in the urging for here of meat
packing plant, this being the natural |
center for all the stock-growipg regions
Of the great ranges, He discussed the
before the new industries
committee Of the Commercial Club on
Friday, and much interest is being
aiken in his propositions.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-10-19

The business of the city has beer
active and good during the week, and
the circulation Of money has been ac
tive, with much of the buying cash
sales. Collections are reported fair
and the years business has been un.
commonly profitable in most lines
throughout the State, insurinr a gen.
eral distribution in unusual quantities
of ready money,
The building operations in the city
are active, in closing out construction
work before bad weather begins. The
new Capitol shows a veritable hive of
industry, large number of men being
employed and the work being pushed
In excellent form. The Capitol is tax.
ing shape rapidly, and the walls are
so much advanced now as to give n
pretty good idea Of what the building
will look like; but, Of course. the
beauty of the walls will be brought ont
by the stone construction in way that
does not show now. The activities
however, are very great in pushing
the work. An immense amount of
grading will have to be done to ser
the building off as it ought to be.
The construction Of a new 100000
flat was first announced during the
week az In prospect. and the building
record of the year will undoubtedly
show up strong, The work on the
high school on the cast bench and on
the administration building of the
University is being pushed rapidly in
each case.
The real estate market in this CITY
Is always strong, The transactions OF
the week have not been spectacular.
but in total they aggregated a good
sum.

GUARDING TRUST LANDS

One Of the most ineffective activi
ties Of the various States Of this Unio1
from time to time, 1--WE speak now OF
the States enjoying land grants from
Congress,) has been the profligate
waste of these trust lands, 1t has been
common TO fritter away the values
which Congress thus granted in the
most shameful way, to favorites OF va
rious kinds and TO different interests
the effect being that the different
funds which Congress supposed that it
was providing for have been largely
robbed of the values thus conferred,
The State Of Utah has not been behind
others in this squandering of its land
grants. The common school fund in
this State had ample and rich grants,
but they were shamcfully depleted by
the conveyance for practically no con-
sideration at all, of numberless tracts
of the best farm lands in the State
the general action of the States In this
particular. This State had magnifi-
cent endowment Of public lands, and
Congress had every reason to suppose
that the school fund would be con-
served and immensely enriched by the
grants made therefor The result,
however, is mere trifle compared
with what it ought to have been.
In striking contrast with the usual
dealing by States with these Congress
sional land grants is the course that
has been taken by Minnesota. That
State has so fully safeguardod the
lands granted by Congress, that it is
reasonable to estimate that the public
school fund OF Minnesota will eventual
ly amount to $200,0o0,000, which Will
bring in revenue. estimated at per
cent, of $l0,000,o0o year.
The trainers OF tho constitution of
the State of Minnesota safeguarded the
trust funds Of that State for posterity.
They had no idea Of the vast sums
that these grants would eventually
provide from timber on State lands and
the fabulous wealth that was to be de-
vcloped in the lands containing the
vast iron ore deposits. Congress has
granted to Minnesota at different times
some 100000 acres Of land, Instead Of
iisposing of this potentially rich patri-
nony or allowing it to be exploited by
special interests, It was preserved for
Ill the people. The State "is today
practically one-tenth owner of all the
ron ranges, with apparently mex
laustible quantities Of ore in sight,
This estimate is made by Mr. Charles
3. Cheney, who has summed up the re- |
ources Of Minnesota in that respect. If |
Utah had administered its school fund
$ justly, as honestly, and as whole
eartcdly In the public interest as Min
esota has done, 1t is a low estimate
o say that the common school fund
you'd amount to twenty times as much
S 1t now contains, perhaps more, At
II events, Utah is In the common run
States In this respect, In place of be-
NO high up on the ladder of distinc-
ion, reaching out, somewhat at least,
owards the distinctively brilliant fl.
anciering that Minnesota has brought
D bear In this resnect.

During the week word came thai
Eastern capitalists wero visiting the
western terminus of the Moffat road
as now built this way from Denver
with the probability that the construc
tlon of the road to this city will be
fully financed. Mr.. Norman Erb, who
has the matter in immediate charge, is
expected in this city before long to
make arrangements at this end Of the
line.
The putting in of the proposed Bur
ley cutoff to connect this city more
directly with the Twin Falls region in
Idaho, is being pushed by the sub-com-
lnittee of the Commercial Clubs rail
road committee, with the view of con-
ferring with judge Robert S. Lovett,
President of the Hartman system
when Mr., Lovett comes here, and he
is expected soon.
