NEW JORDAN BRIDGE
STILL UNSETTLED

The decision of the County Com
missioners to locate the new iron
bridge crossing Jordan River, near
the College ranch, caused to much
adverse criticism that they decided
to locate It on the township line north
of the Interurban bridge. This, too,
has met with vigorous protests from
many who own land on the west side,
so the commissioners went over the
project again yesterday and may de-
eide to locate It where the original
petition asked for 1t. at the end OF
Reeves lane. They will visit the pro-
posed sight again Tuesday and all
interested parties are welcome to be
present

Mosida Making Great Progress

DR.. II. G. Holbrook was called to
confinement case to the home Of
f. o. Brown at Mosida, this week.
He was much interested In the rapid
development of the district and says
that 1t is a revelation to those who
knew II as desert waste. There
are miles of well irrigated farms on
which many comfortable homes are
being built The shade trees and
fruit trees are making phenomenal
growth and fine third crop Of al
falfa Is being harvested. In one
stack yard there were over $50 tons
of fine alfalfa hay. Hundreds OF
stacks of grain were In process Of
being threshed. The old ground.
which had been farmed for three
years. was giving much better yields
than the new. thus proving the per-
manency Of the soil.
A noticeable feature Of the district
was the miles Of turn-piked roads
that the people mad built throughout
the section and which extended for
long distances both north and south.
Every farm was amply provided with
waste bitches SO that flooding of roads
In unknown.
The Doctor also thinks that Lehi
Is missing great opportunity by not
having the County fix good roads be-
tween Lehi and Mosida. II this were
done the desirable Mosida business
would come this way instead Of CO.
ing to Elberta and across the lake to
Provo. He encountered many bad
places In the road. in one Of which
he bursted tire and in another Of
which he broke spring.

SAYS JOHN Mo0ILLEN WON'T
ACCOUNT FOR EXPENSES

Another solemn Chicago joke is the
printed record of the proceedings of
the sanitary district trustees. The
more you read the less you know, in
this record
The sanitary district owns 500 mil
lion dollars worth of taxable property.
1t is big business owned by the vot-
ers of the sanitary district. And the
records of meetings of the sanitary
board ought to show what is done
and what is doing.
Two trustees of the board on Oct.
20 asked for action. One trustee
wants to recover $4,000 from the
bondsman who was supposed to pro-
test the district from loss in the La
Sale Street Trust & Savings Bank
smash. Another trustee wants full
report of what Clerk John McGillen is
doing with district money entrusted
him. This trustee claims McGillen
has paid out about 100000 on ex-
pense accounts, vouchers and pay
rolls without specific authority. On
page 1914 of the printed proceedings
this is the only record of these resolu-
tons:
"Mr. Paullin presented resolution
which was read by the clerk. Mr..
Daley moved that the resolution be
referred to the Committee on FL
nance. The motion prevailed.
."Mr. Clark presented resolution
which Mr.. Sullivan moved be referred
to the Committee on Finance without
being read. On roll call the motion
was carried"
If the resolution of Trustee Wal
lace G. Clark had been printed, the
last port of it, concerning Clerk John
McGillen, would have read:
BE it ordered, that the clerk in
clude in his report by what authority, |
he claims to have been justified, if at |
all in disbursing approximately $780, |

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

Fl Paso, Tex, Nov. 16.-Gen. Fran
cisco Villa, commander-in-chief of
the military forces of the Gutierrez
faction in Mexico, has consented to
resign his command and leave Mex
leo in order that a peaceful settle
ment of the republics internal diff
culties may be effected.
This information came today in a
statement by Provisional President
Eulalio Gutierrez, telegraphed to En-
rique G. Llorente, diplomatic agent
of the Aguas Calientes convention
in Washington. Gutierrez said he had
personally placed before Villa the
proposition of Gen. Venustiano Car
rama that Villa expatriate himself,
and the northern leader replied that
he was willing to sacrifice all if it
meant peace for Mexico.
Carranza had telegraphed Cutter
rez direct that if Villa fulfilled these
conditions he (Carranza) would i'm
mediately transfer his government to
Gutierrez and would also leave Mex
leo.

RUSSIA PROTECTS THE SABLE
insignificant Furs to Be Exploited to
Take the Place of the Little
Animals Peit.

Fearing the extinction Of the sable.
which supplies the world with the
most beautiful of furs, Russia has for
fbidden that any Of these little animals
should be caught during the next three
years. Consequently the fur has run
DIP to an enormously high price, and
with the result that many sorts of
common and insignificant furs are to
be exploited during the winter that
lies before US. The humble rabbits
skin, when manipulated by clever fur
1ressers, would be unrecognizable.
Still less when dyed to such colors as
sable brown, tomato, prune and many
shades of tan and yellow, the latter in
The tint of Kolinski sable. The high
er classed furs, such as skunk and fox,
are seen in their natural color, dyes
being reserved for the less important
varieties. Leopard skin Is used for
muffs as well as for coats, and an ex-
8 traordinary specimen of the muffs is
to be seen at London theater, the
paws and the tail both we'll in evil
~dence. Panther skin has now been
brought into the service of beauty. A
costume made of meadow green vel
.Eeteen has the collar and tunic but
toned with frogs down the front, the
latter quite full over the very tight
