The clause in tho report having refer-ence to the condition of the county jail wns a surprise and caused much indig-nation at that institution. Deputy Jail-ers Joe Burt and John Burbidge were unable to repress tho fact that they felt grossly injured and the doors of the in-stitution were thrown open to the g world. Sheriff Burt, while admitting the presenco of cesspool elllu-via- , has congratulated himself that there was not a cleaner prison in the breadth of the land, regarded the re-port as a great injustice and invited in-spection. Among others who wont was a dele-gation fr.mi the press. Certainly there was nothing within except that inde-finable atmosphere that is always present iu prison precincts to make them obnoxious. A fresh coat of kalso-min-had just been put on. a current of air was eddying about the rotunda, and a porcelain bain tub offered its cleans-ing contents to all who courted them. 'Ihe floors thepiselves were free from any spec of dirt and tho prisoners were as cheerful a set as ever killed time in penal confines. David Ford, who has counted the steeled ribs of his cell door for four months, said that he didn't want to be treated auy better. The ventillation was good, and a bath tub with unlimited quantities of water enabled every man to keep clean. I'eter Nelson, an old jail bird who admitted to having folded his wings in other prisons in other countries, bore evidence of the same thing aud was corroborated by William Parton, Charles Merrill, Sain Bush, John Uergin. Charles Wilson, Charles Ward, Joe Panks, C. li. Nugent, F.d Burns, Fred Wirth aud Joe Davis. W. 11. young, who is serving a term for having burglars' tools in his possession, said ho had but one complaint to lodge, and that was at tho absence of medical attendance. C. L. Blazer, who is tho most aristo-cratic of the guests, and who has been accustomed, in his career, to tho best the markets afford, was quite voluble in his comments, and thought it an im-provement on many of the "first-class-hotels. Sixty or more prisoners were interviewed, but not one of them had a complaint to lodgo. With reference to the cesspool, Sheriff Hurt stated that the attention of the authorities had been frequently called to it, but as yet no action Had been tasen. He agrees with the grand jury that a speedy connection with the sower should bo made, and will con-tinue to urge it to the board. . TIIE I!:1IJ!(U1I liEl'Olii) A Fraudulent Ad.

E. Hurley, general agent of the Union I'acitic in Salt Lake, lets an impostor on bis lino go without being questioned, an earthquake cr something as awful will happen. Tho early part of last week a stranger named A. U. 'tippy appeared in Salt Lake and so-licited advertisements for various por-tions of the U. P. time table folder. He rinimttd t- - tare the proper credentials to engage in the work and tho Ameri-can National bank, the Midland Invest-ment company and Major Erb of the Walker house were among those who took space on the sheet, paying from !0.T'0for it.

Major Krb d him a mi in a short time the 'ollow was in Mr. Hurley's ollice reply-ing to questions. Tho ad man was rat-tled from tho start and when he ceased a policeman took charge of him. Late in the afternoon a wire from E. L. Lo-ma-read: "We havo no with arrangements A. G. Damp to advertise for fold-er " Kippey will be given a hearing today. Taonrl. Reports from the Bush-Ivanho- tun-nel on tho line of tho Midland are to '.he effect that everything is progressing nicely. The cut from the east end is iu about 1050 feet, and beiug pushed rap-idly. Water is causing considerable fxtra work on the Iranhoo end, which lacks about 100 feet of the distance cov-ered by the Bush cut. Every ell'ort is being made to push forward this great work, which, according to contract, is to be completed within two years from the date of commencement. This is one of tho longest pieces of engineering work ever undertaken in tho west, and the third largest tunnel in the United States, h is tho second time the con-tractor, Mr. Keefe, has taken a contract for the third longest tunnel in the United States; his last undertaking, when linished. will make the tunnel he recently constructed in Montana the fourth longest.

Tho hotel men all along the lino of the Colorado Midland railway are feel-ing in tine humor in anticipation of the largo summer travel which is a sure thing this year. The passenger depart-ment of tho Midlaud has received many evidences of unusually heavy travel this season, and the tide of travel will flow through tho mountain districts in even greater measure than heretofore. This is gratifying intelligence to all people, and nearly everybody is affected and benefited to a greater or less ex-tent. The information, therefore, will be hailed with general satisfaction by nil, and the people will feel increased interest in the channel through which there promises to flow additiouai beue-tit- s to them.
