Toihed tv: I notice through the columns of your paper you have repeatedly called on the trades to formulate a scale of prices for the yeur. I have been waiting for somo on more capable thau myself to explain, but the silence is almost pain-ful. The principle is an excellent one, aud which assures confidence and liar- - mony between the building trades and the building public. Don't you know that it is adopted in this city to a great extent? I do not believe there is an employer in tho building trade in this city who does not know what the terms of his employes are for tho ensuing year, although the public may not, and I wish to vindicate my organization from having any other motive or feel-ing but that of harmony and good will, for the general prosperity of our beau-tiful city. There is a brick contractors' association, nnd a general understand-ing prevails between them and the bricklayers. They were aware of our terms six mouths ago and have governed themselves accordingly. And right here, Mr. Editor, 1 would like to correct the wrong impression that has been circulated against us that wo are exorbitant and exacting iu our demands. In the cae referred to we neither demand or commanded but modestly asked tho gentleman iu question if he would unionize his work and wo would guar-antee him first-clas- mechanics t the same wages paid his indilfcront ones. Neither is our organization com-posed of or conducted Oil a lecherous, anarchist or socialistic princiole as somo suppose. We are not only pro-tective in our principles but have been benefits in case of illness, accident or death. We have also loaned con-siderable moans to our unemployed that have had to battle with adversity during this long anil weary winter. Surely these principles must commend themselves to an intelli-gent public ami the members of any trade that will organize for mutual pro-tection and assistance in case of sick-ness, accident or death must be the paragon and tho outcome of a higher order of intelligence. Human hearts and sympathetic impulses, a regard for tho fellow being and regard for a needy friend has done more for humanity than some high strung neighbor who carries a still neck and an affection of hydro-cephalus, and we hold to the justice of those old principals, that merit makes the man and not the clothes. We have tried to manifest intelligence and spirit of justice and equality w hich has gen-erally produced harmony between employer and employe. We have also tried to stimulate the building industry of our city. When we formulated our scale of wages last October for this summer we cut wages l." per cent on tho then prevailing prices, and w hile brick went down ','(1 per cent at a good supply, rock and lime are down in pro-portion, thus making terms much more favorable for those who build this sum-mer. In conclusion Mr. Editor, I think I can safely proniiss that no serious difficulties or misunderstand-ings with any of the trades will arise to mar the good feelings that already exist in the building industry through-out the entire year.

CA8TLE VALLEY RA1LE0AD CO, t News of Foreign and Local Lines Tlia C. 1 V. to Tap a Rich Portion of ; the Territory J Despite all tho denials and rumors of denials by the heads of the Santa Fe Kit Grande Western about being inter-ested in tho California it Nevada, there is something which shows that eastern capitalists are keeping the line alive. That a ileal and result of considerable I magnitude will eventually grow out of I the movement seems sure. For the first time in its exist- - I ence tun little California & Nevada f line has a regular otliee and a time I table according .o which its trains are to be run. The Atlantic & Pacific ticket I ollices are also those of the road, and ; this fact alone lends color to the report 4 published in these columns that this tittle road is ono end of that transcon-- ' tinental line of which the Colorado ' Midland owned by tho Santa Fe, is the other. Since the story was published a few-weeks ago it hasiineu pooh-poohe- but the eastern capitalists have so far kept their word. They have established a daily servico, and have a force of engi-neers in tho liold. Tho little line runs from Emery's toOrinda l'ark, and from the latter point a stage runs on to Walnut, a distance of thirty eight miles. - New Itoftd fur Hondnran. t The government of Honduras has j made a concession to a syndicate of i French capitalists for tho construction J of a narrow-gaug- railway ninety-thre- e , miles long from tho Facifie ocean to the j city of Tegucigalpa. The proposed ' , road will pass through the plains of Choluteca, following the course of tho Itio Grande, thus avoiding topographs ' cal dilliculties in reaching the higher ') plateaux of Tegucigalpa and those of ,, J tho interior. The road, nit hough by no ' I means a direct route from the coast, will be of great importance and utility, I as it will touch a number of the most I important mining districts and fertile ', agricultural lands.

W. in Emery county, and extend to Fittsburg in Coal y Fork of Cottonwood canyon, a distance ; of over forty miles. Castle Valley is I rich in natural resources and this now I line will encourage development and I afford means of shipment. The direc- - tors of tho road are: li. W. Driggs, jr., ! Alex. Johnson, H. F. Thomburg, Mi- - lando l'ratt and E. M. Cummings. The capital stock is divided into 10,000 shares of $100. Work on the line will be begun as soon as possible. Gone to C'ntrnl America. E. I,. G.

Pat Ootigblin and Harry Wright, the Notorious Jail Brcakerr, Ran Down by Authorities. BOTH OF 'EM CAUGHT NAPPING. The Last of the Gang of Beardless . Burglars Who Parsed Befora Judge Zane. Tat C ltighlin and Harry Wright, the Park City jail breakers who have eluded all ell'orts to overtake them for some time, were captured at liutte on l'ridav last and are uow on their way back in custody of Sheriff Wevcr. The sherilT luul t ikon a run up to liutte in search of For. I an i Cox. who bioke jail shortly before Wright and Cotighliii and was exchanging nllioial courtesies with City Marsha! Damn of that thriv-ing camp when the conversation turned upon a young leilow employed at the marshal's livery stable, who boasted that he hail killed a man at l'ark City. At the suggestion of tho sheriff they sauntered down tu.vr.rd the barn and detected Coughlin, whom the sheriff identified at once as the fugitive. Conghlin rcc ngni.cd the sherilf, wheeling, ran through the stable and out into th" alley. The "lllcials gave chase and Conghlin was overtaken and licked up The search was then continued and they were soon on the trail of Wright, who, it was ascertained, was working for ihe munilicent sum of fitly cents a day, on which he managed to exist. Taking a position on a popular corner the ollici-r- began to invoice the crowd' and found Wright tripping along to I of an antiquated l a lad. All nil wittingly he walked into the trap thai awaited him anil a few moments later lie was languishing in the locker w ith his confederate. Conghlin is one of a band of lawless burglars ho had bullied the authori-ties at l'ark City for a long time, and who were finally apprehended by the peaching of one of their number. They were captured and were awaiting the action of the grand jury when they made their escape. Three of the gang were brought before Judge Zane and owing to their extreme vouth were sent to the reform school. Wright is also a touch customer, and is wanted on sev-eral misdemeanor-- , enacted prior to his arrest in l'ark Cily. AN CLEPHANT HUNT IN' SiAM.' A Country Where Nearly 300 of the tllf Animula Am Captured at a Time Chio scorching morning ii) April, 1870, a unjiiU party of Europeans left tho city pf Bangkok, the present capital of the kingdom of Siam, for Ayutiiia, the old Beat of government, sixty miles north-ward up the River Mciiaiu. A limit had been appointed by tiie king, an I the clo-- i pliant were to lie brought in through the country bordering the ancient, ruins. On tho second day we arrived lit Ayutbi.i, and net up our screens and liimg our mosquito burs in a sala, or rest house, by tho river side. The following morning ten elephants arrived. Just out.-id- the city, and over-looking a plain extending to the horizon, was a high platform, mounted by stone steps and covered with a, tiled roof sup-ported by pillars. On this, scn-ene-from the sun, and with a broad outlook ovor tho rice fields that had lately been shorn of their crop, sat a high official, his aids, ik few native, nobles and the foreign guests. The other spectators perched in trees or found standing loom wherever tho view was most attractive. Immediately before the platform was the stockade, Hindu by netting deep into the ground teak logs two yards iu girth and twenty feet in length. These logs were so ar-ranged as to leave interspaces of about one foot in width. They inclosed a half acre of level ground, and extonded out, at the side opposite thu platform, into a funnel shaped entrance only wide enough, where it joined the stockade, for the passing of a single elephant. G.tzin.g far across the stubbly plain wnwuvtho troop of elephants, encom-passed by the many hunters who hud been H'lit months before into the wilder-ness to entice the wild animals toward a rendezvous. Tho families, scattered in tin--: jungles, foraging among tho luxuri-ant herbage, had been separately entered by tame decoy elephants, under tho di-rection of wily hunters, and one had fol-- li iwed nuother into cupt ivity. Two hun-dred and eighty elephants had thus been brought together. The sound of their roaring svaa like that of distaut thunder, and an they approached the earth seemed to shake under their tread. I!y u skillful combination of leading nud driving they were slowly urged along toward tho stockade. Foremost were the docoyers, trained to their work, which they do with complacent discre-tion. They wero ridden by experts) in elephant training, and followed by tho wild herds iu which, were elephants of all ages. Hemming in the assemblage on the sides and in tiio rear, many other tamed elephants directed by their riders urged on the laggards with their long; tusks und shouldered the stragglers into place. Occasionally a lingo fellow, becoming conscious of being directed by a will not his own, would rear, trumpet a protest, bolt through the cordon of sentinels and gallop toward tho distant woods. Hut these fugitives were quickly chased by three or four trained beasts, and were soon brought back to the ranks. Only one, a majestic creature with enormous snowy tusks, distanced his pursuers nnd regained freedom in the bush. St. Nich-olas. Tliat Are Kemembcrefl. I have listened to many eloquent, many striking, many admirable ser-mons. I have forgotten, I suppose, some five or six thousand sermons forgotten all about them so completely that they have not left a trace in the memory, though at the time they may have had their infinitesimal influence for pood on the life of every day. But of the re-mainder there were some which left deeper and indeed lifelong impressions. Of one of them, heard when I was a boy of 14,1 remember nothing but the man-ner in which for ull time it impressed the text itself upon my recollection. The text was, "As the nusa growing upon the housetops, which withereth afore it be plucked up, whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither he that bindeth np tho sheaves his bosom." Perhaps a sermon can produce no better effect than to burn into tho brain the force or the imagery of a particular text. I remember how much I longed, after hearing that sermon, that my life might never be represented by such nn imago of utter uselessness the rank, coarse grass upon the thatch, which the mower and reaper alike despise.
