Provo in Utah County affords a comfortable home and proper treatment for the unfortunate un-fortunate insane of the Territory More than 100000 has been wisely and economically expended upon the grounds and buildings of the Asylum The appropriations for the Institution are managed with care and economy and educated and skillful treatment given to its inmates Tho number of patients under treatment at this time is males 35 females 34 at an average daily expense per capita during the month of SeptemberlSSG of 62M cents The average dailycostper capita from June 1st to Sept 80th 1886 was

Under the provisions of the law the expense of the patients is borne equally onehalf by the Territory Terri-tory and mehalf by the county The amount due to the Asylum from the Territory on this account was 848998 on Aug 1st 188d At the same true the indebtedness of the Asylum was 912787 At the last session of the Legislative Assembly an appropriation of 25000 was made to the Asylum for the years 1856 and 1887 onehalf to be arawn each year The bill failed to become a law by reason of the veto of the then Governor and this sum was therefore unavailable The Asylum has been compelled to rely upon the aid of the counties the generosity of its creditors and upon borrowed means HOSPITAL Sobly supplementing the work of caring for the insane are the hospitals of this city in alleviating

employment and means of support for the dependent women and children of such womenof tender age with a view to aid in the scppression of polygamy said sum to be expended by a board of control to consist of the Governor Justices of the Supreme Court and District Attorney The board was called together and as a preliminary step looking to the establishment of the Home it was resolved re-solved that notification through the public press be given of tne objects and extent of said appropriation and that private inquiry be set on foot to ascertain the number that could be found of the classes contemplated by the law so that the appropriation might be utilized and the Home estab lished as soon as needed AGRICULTURAL MECHANICAL AND MANUFACTURING IN USTJUES MINES AND MINING i TIt > T-It is a

information informa-tion is that notwithstanding the depression de-pression in the price of silver none of the mines in this Territory have been compelled to stop operations by reason rea-son thereof although in some districts it has resulted in a redaction of miners min-ers wages The outlookfor the production of the precious metals is very promising and will under favorable conditions ad the maintenance of a fair value for the metals produced no doubt realize rea-lize the expectations indulged The mineral product of the Territory for the calendar years 1884 and 1885 carefully prepared

infancy but it is worthy of mention and it gives me pleasure to incorporate the following information forwarded to me The present outlook is more flattering flatter-ing than at any previous period since its inception S Our comparatively dry climate and bench lands are admirably suited for the culture of the mulberry which grows luxuriantly along the foot hills producing healthy leaves which constitutes con-stitutes food for the worms Leaves grown in wet climates and watery soils are apt to produce diar rheaical diseases in the worm and at times the worm loss from this cause is very great There is now about 100 acres of mulberry trees in the Territory Terri-tory For a good while the Morns Multi caulus or Chinese mulberry was mostly cultivated but now the Manus AM or white tree is superseding it because of its superior silk food quality It is estimated that about 17000 Ibs of cocoons have been raised in the Territory Ter-ritory averaging per lb value A large per cent of these have been reeled and worked up at home the residue have been shipped east and west almost al-most invariably I understand at a loss to the producers There is now in this city seven silk looms at work which find steady employment em-ployment and ready local sale for their products In other parts of the Territory Terri-tory the number of looms is two or three These do not run the year round Dress goods in several grades ana in great variety of patterns and style have been manufactured and many dozen gross of handkerchiefs have been made These find a ready saleAt At one time machine twist and other sewing shk oi commendable quality were manufactured The silk factory on Canon road expects ex-pects soon to add a ribbon loom to its already efficient establishment which is run by steam power and is under an able German worker and his wifeboth experienced and practical manufacturers manufactur-ers Much of the raw silk is imported from New York City and until a local plantation is built and put into operation opera-tion importation must necessarily continue Utah has skilled silk workers from S tne great SlUt producing countries or the old world in great numbers PUBLIC BUILDING A public building for the accomoda tion of the District and Supreme CourtsPost Office and Land Officeand the other Government offices ifi i much needed here for the speedy and convenient con-venient dispatch of public business An appropriation for this purpose would Be justifiable by reason of economy econ-omy if no other existed The Government Gov-ernment is now paying rents and allowance al-lowance to officers for rents in this city the sum ot 6720 A situation could be procured and suitable buildings could be erected for probably 100000 I would recommend the appropriation ofthat sum for the purpose TERRITORIAL APPROPRIATIONS Congress was advised by a special message from the President of date Way 111SSG of the veto of the last general appropriation bill by my predecessor pre-decessor and of the necessity for such immediate legislation as would authorize au-thorize the assembling of the Territorial Terri-torial Legislature in special session to make provision for the carrying on of the Territorial Government The bill reported to the lower house of Con cress from the committee on Territories Terri-tories in pursuance of the message failed to become a law and the Territory Terri-tory is yet without the needed relief On the 15th day of September last there was cash in the Territorial treasury treas-ury 5731760 The amount now due and which should and probably will be paid into the treasury on Territorial taxes on or before the 31st f day of December next is 9712522 a total of 15444282 Unless some provision is made this large sum will remain idle in the treasury while the obligations of the Territory will remain unpaid impairing impair-ing its credit and leaving its citizens who haveattended its courts as jurors i and witnesses without compensation yery many of whom are poor and illy able to bear it to become the prey of Crafty Ispeculators who will take advantage ad-vantage of their needs its educational education-al and humane institutions 1 to maintain main-tain their existence by borrowing money at the high rate of 10 per cent per annum inrerest thus imposing an additional burden upon the Territory and allowing the other various interests inter-ests this money is raised to serve ton to-n uish There was due to jurorsand witnesses witnes-ses for mileage and attendance in the District Courtsto December 31st 18S5 the sum ef 22000 Since said date to September 1st 1886 the following amounts have become due First District Court 7429 73 Second 2329 90 Third e 4103 40 3586303 As shown heretofore in the statement of the Deseret University

which is bearing 10 per cent per annum an-num interest and farther indebtedness will have to be incurred to keep the institution open and to provide Board and treatmentfor its anfortunate inmates in-mates POLYGAMY AND LEGISLATON The allabsorbing question in this Territory dominating all others tiurtfully affecting its prosperity ana impeding its advancement and disturbing dis-turbing the quiet and hopefulness of its people and the one question of the utmost concern and solicitude to the whole country is the attitude of defiance defi-ance assumed and maintained by the Mormon people who probably are fivesixths of the whole population to the law of Congress for the suppression sup-pression of polygarpyoWn as the In all questions affecting the Mormon Mor-mon Church and peoj > le i the poljg amists and monogamists Mormons make common cause stand together and are united They maintain publicly pub-licly through their leaders and teachers teach-ers in their houses of worshiptbi ough the press and privately in social and in business circled that the law is infamous in-famous an interference with and a denial to them of their religious re-ligious freedom guaranteed to I all by the Constitution of their right and religious duty to continue in violation of the law their polygamous polyga-mous > relations They deny the authority au-thority of Congress to regulate anti interpose in-terpose any restrictions as to the mal i til relations That the obligations which they owe and will cheerfully render to a Power higher than any earthly power corpelb them to exercise exer-cise their religious rights and privileges privi-leges in the face of ana in violation of the law thatjthey are prepared to and willSf requIred of them bacrittce their personal comfort their property suf ler indefinite imprisonment and surrender sur-render life itself rather than yield and promise obedience to tne law and forego the privilegEs they claim The Government can have and hold but one position towards this people which is of easy statement Its authority au-thority must be respected its laws must be obeyed ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS I The Governor states that the Federal officers have been and continue vigilant vigi-lant in their efforts to enforce the law The District and Supreme Courts have oeen open and dispose of business promptly From July ISSi to June 80 1885 for polygamy and unlawful cohabitation nine convictions were had eight of the persons residing in Salt Lake and one in Beaver county From July 1 1SS5 to June 30 1886 three convictIons for polygamy aim eightyone for unlawful cohabitation were had 01 the eightyfour person convicted fiftyone resided in Salt Lake eleven in Weber eight in Beaver Bea-ver five in Tooele four in Davis three In Box Elder and one each in Utah and Sevier counties These convic tious have been bad in eight out of twentyfour counties In the Territory in the remaining sixteen counties the Mormon population is largely in the ascendancy and believe in and practice prac-tice polygamy as well as In other counties coun-ties Temples have been built at St George Manti and Logan Here celestial celes-tial plural marriages are celebrated cele-brated Heretofore terms of court have been held only at Salt Lake Ogden Og-den Provo and Beaver As the condition con-dition of business will permit the Governor states he will provide for terms of court to be held at StGeorge Manti and Logan lie further says that while vigor has been shown in the prosecution of offenders the court will suspend judgment and allow the convicted party to go free it he will promise in the future to obey the law1 He also refers to his visit to the Penitentiary Peni-tentiary shortly after reachiugthe Territory Ter-ritory when the hope of clemency was held put to those convicted of polygamy polyg-amy and unlawful cohabitation who would promise to obey the Jaw in the future but not one accepted the offer ITo ITo I-To secure a more satisfactory enforcement en-forcement of the laws in Utah he recommends re-commends that the United States Marshal Mar-shal be paid a salary of 5000 and all fees be abolished He recommends one deputy at 2000 one at 1800 and that ah other deputies be paid 4 per day while employed The Governor Justices Jus-tices of the Supreme Court and District Dis-trict Attorney to be constituted aboard a-board who will designate the number of deputies to be employed The Governor Gov-ernor earnestly says It must be remembered re-membered always in considering matters mat-ters concerning Utah the unusual and extraordinary conditions prevailing a population of nearly 150000 hostile to the law and animated with religious fervor to resist and defeat its enforcement enforce-ment Thus the ordinary methods which would in other places be sufficient suffi-cient utterly fail here The Marshal and deputies should be men of the best character Their duties are onerous Such men should be well paid The Governor says Iknow of no armed organization for resistance to the laws nor do I believe that any exists and no physical resistance has been offered to the enforcement of the laws but the hostility of the people and the bitterness engendered by the situation and the Iprospect of further stringent legislation presents a situation sit-uation where violence and outbreak might be easily provoked In the absence ab-sence of a militia even with authority ot law for its organization under the unfavorable conditions existing I would recommend that a strong and sufficient force of troops be kept in garrison in the Territory and such laws be passed as will make Chem as promptly available to the civil authorities author-ities of the Territory for the maintenance main-tenance of peace the suppression of disorder and the execution of the process pro-cess of the courts as if they were the militia of the Territory U Gov West says it surely would be wise to lessen the power and not permit per-mit an increase of the strength of the Mormon people so long as they remain hostile to tke law He calls attention to their sending missionaries abroad and expresses the opinion that the provisions pro-visions of the TuckerEdmunds bill now pending in the House to abolish the Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company Com-pany will if becomes a law prove beneficial THE MORMON IMMIGRATIOX He portrays strongly the manner in which the Mormon immigrants are brought to Utah absolutely under the control of Mormon agents and states that in the past six years 11950 foreign immigrants were brought to Utan The Governor also expresses the opinion opin-ion that the TuckerEdmunds bill now pending in Congress ought to pass In conclusion he acknowledges the kindly manner with which he has been received by all classes and says that le has for every one only feelings of kIndness and that the Mormon people will find that tho YkOlenn TrrVt nar flnH o r u u way for them to escape from their present deplorable condition wil prove to be their greatest benefactor |
