It is a matter of surprise, therefore, that steps have not been taken long before this for a thorough investigation. The money required to make the prospect will not amount to much.

The opponents of thesalo contend that the city should retain the works in or-der to protect the consumer from extor-tionate rates, and because the works are a valuable property. Now that there is to be a great etlort to induce the city to sell,. there will be considerable discussion over the matter. Tim Times accordingly invites every. interested party to present his views to the public through the medium ot this paper. All communications upon the subject will be published in the order of their receipt. We hope our leading citizens will discuss the subject thor-oughly, as the council no doubt will be guided by the drift of public opinion. THK WATKIIWOKKS gi ESTIOX. The proposition of tho Utah 'Water-works company to buy the city water-works has brought baek to this eity Colonel Witclier Jones, who mado the first bid. We understand that there is to be a third competitor iu the Held in the shape of a company which is now being organized among homo capital-ists. If tho waterworks are to bo sold, tho more competitors there are tho bet-ter it will bo for tho city. The first thing to bo decided is whether tho plant shall be sold. We have it upon good legal authority that the eity council has tho: right to raakd the sale, but , if it does not desire to should' tho responsibility we would suggest that the question be settled .by. a vole of the people at a special eleolion. In case the majority of tho voters decide in favor of tho sale, then tho council can not without any embarrassment or 'criticism. If this question is settled affirmatively, tho next thing would be to dispose of tho works to the best bidder. There is considerable opposition, to the sale, and upon principle The Times has been op-posed to tho eity parting with the waterworks. But if -- tho city cannot or will not improve and d the plant uud givo us good water we aro iu ' favor of letting some corporation undertake the work. Wo must have an abun-dance of water, and it must be of a good quality. Good wnter is one of the most important factors in the health and prosperity of the city. Tho city can only sell tho water pipes and a franchise to lay a now sys-tem of mains. It does not own the water, and therefore .cannot sell it. Therefore, any corporation distributing water through a pipe system iu this city would have to miiko its own ar-rangements to secure a supply from the owners of water rights. That the city needs new waterworks there is no quostiou. The present svs-te-is wholly inadequate to supply the demand, and furthermore, it is iu poor condition. Much of the pipe is alto-gether too small, being only three inches in diameter, aud in many places there are "dead-ends,- " which prevent a proper circulation, and consequently there is much stagnant water in certain sections of tho pipe system. Those who are iu favor of tho water-works being owned aud operated by a private corporation, maintain that the eity cannot get tho money to improve (he plant; that ; the ' waterworks in the hands of the ('ity can be used as a political machine; that the city can- - Census Questions In Khynie.

The Tribune says that "local agents of other roads have said that the en-forced retirement of Mr. Parker of the Union Pacific ensures a sizeable in-crease in the freight traffic of ,tho llio Grande." There has been a great de al said about the retirement of Mr. Parker from the Union Pacilic. So far as we know ho has given satisfaction to the business public, and retires with the best wishos of all who have had busi-ness dealings with him. But just why the Union Pacilic saw lit to dispense with his services is nobody's business outside of the railroad managers. They have their own reasons, just tho same as any employer has. They have named as Mr. Parker's successor a well-know- n ami experienced railroad man, Mr. Kccles, who no doubt will give sat-isfaction to the patrons of the road as well, as to tho management. If he doesn't fill tho bill, the manage-ment will get someoiio else, and it M ill bo nobody's business except that of the oflicials. The statement that a change of men in this city will cause an in-crease of business for any other road is all bosh. So long as a railroad treats its patrons fairly it will lose no patron-age. The retirement of any oiif man from an established institution does not, as a rule, materially affect its business one way or the other. The president dies, but tho government Still goes on. A railroad official retires, but the trains continuo to run. ARRIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS. Schedule of arrival and closing of mails at " thSaiyakecit " IXrrlveTit "Close 'V J MAA . Depot.

The census enumerators will com-mence work today. The house com-mittee on census has declined to inter-fere with the list of questions prewired by the census" superintendent, and people failing to correctly answer will lie subject to prosecution. The super-intendent announces that, on failure to answer, tho enumerators will simply note the fact, and tho matter will lie turned over to the attorney-general- , who will authorize the institution of proceedings to enforce tho penalty pro-vided by the law.

Said tho governor of Iowa to the governor of Kansns: "It's n long time between original packages." . The Times makes a guess that tho federal census will show that Salt Lako's population is over 55,000. The chamber of commerce commit-tee, iu its interview with tho railway magnates now in the city, should not forget to remind them that. Salt Lako has immediate need of that much talked-o- f union depot. Every once in a while there floats through tho press a receipt for I ho euro of insomnia. The best cure that we know of is tho Doseret News. Any person who reads that paper and doesu't fall asleep is Biirely an incur-able. Salt Lake's bank clearings loomed tip last week at a n rate. For the five business days they amounted to 11,008,802, placing this city ahead of Portland, Ore., Tort Worth, St. Joseph, Now Haven, Peoria, Springlicld, Wash-ington, Galveston, Hartford, Memphis, Richmond, Indianapolis and eighteen other cities.. THK MINIM KXCHANGK, The oponiug of tho Suit Lake Mining exchange, which occurs next Thursday, will be an important event in tho com-mercial history of this city and terri-tory. That it will be a success there is no doubt. The organization is com-posed of well-know- mining operators, capitalists and business men generally. It is not tho object of tho exehango to deal in mining stocks alone, but also to assist iu tho developing of mining properties. Tho fact is that tlioiuiu-era- l resources of Utah have not begifu to bo properly developed. What we need is ' mining boom, and the ex-change can in many ways be of great ussistanco in inaugurating and maintaining such a boom. A gen-uine' mining boom " will bo of more benefit to Salt Lako than a doen real estate booms. See what tho mining strikes in Colorado have done for Den-ver. All the wealth of the Colorado mountains is tributary to that city. Salt Lake City maintains the same re-lation to the mines of Utah as Denver does to those of Colorado. What tho mountains of Colorado have done for Denver the mountains of Utah enn bo made to do for Salt Luke. The Utah mountains of w ealth are all tributary to this city. The mountains surround-ing this city, as well as those all through Utah, aro full of gold, silver, lead and iron. All thai is needed is exploration and develop-ment, and for such purposes capital is frequently demanded. This demaud, no doubt, will be supplied to a largo extent by members of the milling ex-change. Thu purchase of mining stock will materially aid partly developed mines. The prospect of favorable silver legislation has awakened new interest in the min-ing business, and when silver is giveu its honest standing a boom will surely follow in this territory. Taking every-thing into consideration, the exchange has been organized just at the right time. Everything seems ripe for it. When tho people get up and jump on an official with both feot.hu begins to realize that he has made a mistake. That's what's tho matter with Governor Thayer. Ho bus revoked his call .for an extra session of the Nebraska legis-lature to regulate various' matters. lie makes somo excuse for the revocation,, but it is dollars to cents that public opinion caused him to go back on him-- , self. Mr. assistant postmaster-general- , leaves Washington today on a tour of inspection to .the Pacilio coast. 1 It is to bo hoped that he will visit Salt Lake and inspect tho poslolliee. If he does, ho will lind that there is no eily in tho country so much in need of a new postofiiee, and he will beeomo conviuced that nothing less than a$500,-00- 0 appropriation will give us a build-ing adequate to our bu.siu.css demands and rapid growth. The chamber of commerce should at once send him a cordial invitation to visit Salt Lake, A FAMOUS SEXTET. The following from the New York Star of a recent date, as related by John Snwleller, a prominent Lexington, Ky.-- , merchant, and suggested by the recent death of Kentucky's great senator, will interest many of The Times readers: "About forty years ago," said he, "there were six farmer lads working in tho northern portion of the statu of Now York, every one of whom has since become prominent in public af-fairs. A radius of fifty miles from tho point of junction of Livingston. Wyom-ing and Niagara counties included the early homes of these youngsters, all but one of whom were born there. That one was James Birnie Beck. The others were Augus Cameron. Francis Keruan, Henry M. Teller, Jerome IS. Chaffee and John Roderick Mel'herson. The young fellows all worked hard, and made the most of the limited educa-tional facilities afforded thorn. They were all acquaintances, and kept up their knowledge of each other even niter they had drifted away from their farms in search of wider fame and for-tune. "On December 4, 1870, when Henry M. Teller and Jerome B. Chaffeo took their seats as Iho first senators from tho new state of Colorado, the four men who stood by their sides as tho oath was administered were their former boy friends, who had known them years before. Francis Kernau was Koscoo Conkllug's colleague in the senate, Angus Cameron was senator from Wisconsin, James B. Beck was senator from Kentucky, and John R. MePhcrson was senator from New Jersey. The sextet was lirst broken by the death of Senator Chaffee a few years ago, and now Mr. Beck fol-lows him. All the others are still liv-ing. Mr. Teller, after serving as sec-retary of the interior, is back in the senate, and John R. MePhcrson is there still. Angus Camerson is practicing law in Wisconsin and Fraucis Kcrnah is enjoying tho sweets of an honorable and comfortable old ago at his home iu Utica, N. Y." Ogden lmn our sympathy. She has boon sailly bamboozled by an export boomer. Tho $2,000,000 stockyards, which C.E. Mayuewas to build, are not likely .to materialize. The enterprise vrs simply an air castle, as will be seen by the following extrar--t from a Sioux City dispatch dated May 28: The deal was wall ajouif lut It was greatly magnified by Mr. Mayue, and his statements were nmdo before tho matter was in condition . to be mado public. An Investigation into the matter by representatives of thu Sioux City parties interested has developed the fact that M Mayne'H representations were In a large measure such as could not bo substantiated. A. S. Garrcttson said I'Mliiy that .the Sioux City and Omaha men who went into the pool In buy some .1)0 acros of lund did not con' dude their purchase, as the contracts and property which Mr. Mayne had wore not found to be as represented, and Mr. Wood of Omaha, who represented the syndicate,; advised hla as-sociates agaiiiHt accepting it. . Salt Lake's Newspapers. Ouray Plain Doaler. ' Salt Lake City is adopting metropol-itan ntnvspapor features, which appears to bo justified by tho prcseneo of a pro-gressive Gentile population. Ogden has a system of isi uing build-ing permits.1 One of the useful objects of this system is to keep a record of building improvements, so that it can be shown at a glanco how rapidly the city is growing, tho amount of money that is being invested, aud so on. Salt Lake should do tho same thing. This is a matter that naturally comes within tho jurisdiction of tho building Inspec-tor. If thero is any such officer in Salt Lake, ho certainly performs no duties. The city council should provido somo means for the issuing of building per-mits. It would be a great publio con-venience, and would annually furnish somo very valuable statistics. At pros-- ' ent whenever a newspaper wishes to present a statement regarding building improvements, it is obliged to employ several canvassers, at considerable y pense, to secure a census of all the new buildings. This takes a great deal of time, aud oven then the record, is in-complete. TKSTEKDAY IN HISTOKY-JIIX-F. 1. .
