START FROM SPltlXGVILLE Sj rinyville the Coming City of Utah Comity Is Now the junction for the Tintie Branch Will Become the Center of a Great Fruit and Sugar Growing and Shipping June-lion. One of the unanswered questions of the age is why man cannot, with absolute infallibility, forecast the final outcome of a lawsuit. The foregoing proposition holds good in regard to the injunction suit instituted in the Fourth District court at l'rovo by the Power Dam people against the Hio Grande Western West-ern railway company. Of the merits of this case it is not necessary to speak, as t hey are being fully discussed in their proper spheie the courts. What this article purposes to discuss dis-cuss is a situation which may be expected ex-pected to assume tangible form in the event of the Rio Grande Western not being able to maintain its stand. WIIAT MIGHT IIAFI'KN'. The question at issue is w hether or no the railway company shall have a right of way over locations now claimed by the Power Dam company. It is the tight of two corporations for the possession of a certain point in l'rovo canyon where there is room f r but one. What is to ! considered now is the possibility of the railway company losing in the legal contest. It is not intended to predict that the company will lose; it is only the assertion of the pnssilrilily of its so doinir. In the event, then, of the railway company being compelled to abandon its route at the point of conflict with the Tower Dam people, it would, in order to build a road up (hat canyon, be compelled, to survey a new line up along the side of the mountain and high enough to avoid interference with the worksof the Bower company IT WOULD UK mrKACTICAISLE. The construction of a railroad ;.l nn the cliffs would be impracticable on account of the difficulty of thewoik and its expense. Its operation after it was Jmilt would lie "exceedingly dangerous to human life. The logical logi-cal conclusion, Uien, would be that another route would be. selected from the main line in Utah county to Park City. THE WESTERN'S HEAL OIWECTIVE. It is well known that Park City is the objective point of the Rio Grande Western for the time being only. The point at which this extension is really directed and which it will ultimately reach is the Uncompaghre reservation, via Park City and Strawberry Straw-berry valley. The real objective will not be reached, of course, until this reservation has been open to settlement. settle-ment. Suchbeiitg the .case, and l'rovo canyon being closed, there is but one other route worthy of serious consideration, and that is the one from Springville to Park City and the Uncompahgre reservation VIA IIOIUiLE CKEKK CANYON. The claims of superiority of the Hobble Creek canyon rou'c, which is really better than the one up Provo canyon, have never been presented and discussed, and an effort will now be made to do so. 81MUNGVILLE TI1E STARTING 1'OINT Springville is the proper starting point for a branch to the Uncompaghre Uncompag-hre country. It is already the bast for the Tintic branch, and the addition ad-dition of a division headquarters should be made a matter of course. Everything indicates that Springville in a few years will be the leading city in the Utah Lake region and the best business point south of Salt Lake. It is having a rapid, steady and sure growth, has no "busted'' boom handicaps to work out from under, the business clement of it population is aggressive, but conservative conser-vative enough to insure solidity and stability; its growth is founded on that firmest, of all foundations ot wealth natural agricultural resour ces. An hundred years of agricultu ral 'development will not have found the limit of growth. Springville is the natural base ot supplies for the surrounding rnininn camps.

HOHBLE CKEKK UOUTE S1IOUTEK. The route to the reservation via Strawberry Valley and the left hand fork of Hobble Creek canyon is twenty miles shorter than the. l'rovo canyon route, liy the right hand fork it is twenty-six miles shorter. The line could be run straighter and more direct, and the grade would be no more difficult. A short tunnel or deep cut would have to be made to pierce the Strawberry divide, but the shorter route would amply cover the vxtra expense and leave a margin of resource. The Rio Grande Western, in order to reach Park City and keep its direct line to the reservation, would be compelled com-pelled to build a spur from Heber or Charleston to that place. The route then would follow Daniel's Creek up, into the Strawberry Valley. The grade through Daniel's Creek canyon would prove very difficult. This is a fit subject for agitation, and one that Springville can afford to discuss for a considerable time to come. CARP NOW A NUISANCE The Herald correspondent of Provo writes as follows: l,A question which is agitating the minds of those who engage in fishing is bow to get rid of the millions of carp which arc rapidly increasing in Utah lake and streams flawing t'lercin. There are a number of German families living in this vicinity who do not look upon this species of fish as a pest, but declare that when baked ifter a fashion which they have adopted they make very palatable food. It is very difficult, however, to convince the balance of the people that there is any means know n to scientific cookery, which will render thenf fit for a table. The flesh is strong and exudes a stench which is almost nauseating to the general run of people, unless the appetite has been educated to it, ae some are to the use of li si burger cheese- and stale meats. The plan now proposed is to use giant powder and destroy all the fish in the lake, There is a certain time of the year that carp gather in bunches with their mouths to the surface of the water, sucking in the floating vermin. At this lime, it is said, they can successfully be destroy-by destroy-by the means suggested. Thconlyother dsn which will not materially suffer are the trout, which collect hiher up in the mountain streams. Unless the carp are killed off, it is only a matter of a short time until they will be the sole occupants of the water of Utah laKe and adjoining ad-joining ponds. .

The new country west of Ogden under the ditch built last year by the Pioneer Powder company is especially adapted to the sugar industry. The soil is first class, with an unlimited supply of water at command, and is easy of access. With the first location of such an enterprise thereon,, any er all of the railroads runuing into Ogdeu will run'spurs out there. Let Ogden business men look thssc matters up and push them. Our people should not sit idly by while these opportunities for profitable investments in-vestments lie open and a little encouragement en-couragement is all that is needed to make prosperity in our midst a living reality.

The Deseret News Publishing Co. has published in pamphlet form Prof. N. L. Nelson's open letter to Moss Thatcher, making no mention of the Enquirer, from whose columns it was taken. Enquirer. That open letter was bad enough, without giving the title of the scavenger vehicle which carried it out into light. The friends of Nelson should rejoice at any oversight of this kind. Some of our Utah editors, the president of the editorial association among them, are much given to re ferring to each other by some common name, such as Joe, Jim, Milt, etc. That is a little too low in newspaper courtesy. Enquirer. Tha oa'y Urn) the aforesaid "presi dent" has ever felt like his name was used with too much familiarity has been done by this same sheet, who calls the "kettle black." The Djseret News has discovered that Fitzer the anarchist is a wholesale whole-sale murderer as well. If it were April lstone might form a fair idea of what it meant but this late in the day it looks like some one had been woefully duped. It is stited that surgeons at St. Mary's hospital, East St. Louis, have extracted an incipient orange tree from the stiAiiach of little Miss Anita Griffin. The child is 13 years old. Several years ago she accidentally swallowed an orange seed. Three days ago she was seized with intense pains. A consultation of surgeons was held and an operation decided upon. The oiange seed became encysted en-cysted in the lining of the stomach and had begun to sprout. The child will recover. Deseret News, This may do very well as a novelty and In a small way, bat as a way to raise a crop it would seem rather impracticable. im-practicable. Yesterday Dr. Noycs performed a skin grafting operation on the leg of Frank Hunter. It was an ulcer about four inches square that was to be covered, and the doctor proceeded in this manner: He cleansed the sore thoroughly, then proaceded in a like manner with the skin to be removed from the arms of the individuals who were to make the contribution. The next process was for the doctor to lift with a pair of tweezers a pleee of skin a little smaller than a dime from the arm of a contributor. This piece was then snipped off with a sharp pair of surgeon's shears and laid at once upon the ulcer. This process was repeated until enough skin was taken from the parties contributing to complete the covering of the sore as nearly as the doctor wished, it taking 13 pieces of skin in all, 4 of which were furnished by Robt. Hunter, 4 by Nell Householder, and 5 by Elsie Hunter. It is a difficult matter to say what the effect will be of grafting a ladies' skin to the leg of a man. The probabilities are that Mr. Hunter will come out in a few days as a full fledged woman-American woman-American Fork World. This recalls to mind the first surgical sur-gical operation of which there Is any record that of the rema?l of a rib from the anatomy of Father Adam. Wonder if the effects will not be nearly the same? Many of the papers of the county are discussing the subject oT a fair to be held sometime the coming fall. Some favor a county fair, and others just a local one. The Header sanctions sanc-tions the scheme and believes it would be effective of good in many different ways. The towns of the eastern and middle states hold such gatherings every year and they have been the means of accomplishing much good. It would prove encouraging encour-aging for farmers to put their products pro-ducts before the public in such a manner. -Lehi has advanced the matter far enough to appoint a committee com-mittee to arrange for a fair in that town next fall. In an editorial on the subject the Banner of its last issue contained the following;- No doubt the people of Lehi will read with interest what we have in another column concerning a fair for this city and will agree with us that it will be a fine thing and will be the means of much good. All that is wanted to make it a success is the cooperation co-operation of the people, and the committee com-mittee are hoping to obtain that and we hope they will not be disappointed. Yes, co-operation in this as in most all things will be necessary, and if the people of Utah county don't watita county fair why can't Payson ' cooperate co-operate locally and reap the benefit?
