favorable niid the absence < oC much I political commotion appears to indicate that the Nation at large hat about settled set-tled down to the Idea that there will be t i lI1O change In the administration f Mr Cameron said the Iron and steel industry was the only one that the papers i I pa-pers seemed to think was suffering a reverse But the reverse Is only Inability I In-ability to get the extra high prices hoped for and which the consumer will I not pay The rail mills were loaded up eighteen months and two years ago with orders for S22 rails Then prospective I pros-pective prices went up to S35 and 37 per ton and customers stopped purchasing I pur-chasing deciding to make the old stock I wear a little while longer So now the I mills are finishing up their old orders I I and no

said and Denver Colo I rado Springs Manitou and Pueblo are overrun with Eastern people on account I ac-count of the favorable excursion rates i made by the railroads Hotels and boardinghouses arC all filled with peo pie and In Denver and Colorado I Springs especially there is a crush on the streets all day I This Is leaving a great deal of money in the State and consequently every j body JJs happy Colprado people are very hospitable and glad to see a man prosper and act its though they would be ready to help you any time youI wanted a boost They stand up fOlj I I one another and for anything of benc i llclal Interest to theState so that there 1 is a surprising unanimity among all classes I Glenwoofl Springs Is doing a great I business The Hotel Colorado Is entertaining enter-taining 300 people a day Salt Lake is not getting over 10 per cent of the tourists tour-ists coming to Colorado and Glenwood I Springs appears tobe as far west as a great many tourists care to go There is more wholesouledness more heartiness more scenery and a I lot of other things In the West than in the East said Charles Jessup of Denver Den-ver at the Kenyan yesterday Back 1 East no one seems to care for anybody any-body else but themselves or for interests I I inter-ests not immediately linked to their 1 own It Is different in the West where the milk of human sympathy remains 1 whole and Unskimmed and you have reason to feel that others have something I some-thing of an Interest in you Then the East has no such scenery I or hunting or fishing as obtain in the West and the atmosphere does not seem so free and buoyant There Is I I much to Inspire one In Western surroundings sur-roundings S We have two United States Senators Sena-tors to elect next winter and In consequence conse-quence the campaign in Nebraska will be very lively as far as the Legislature is concerned said D J Poynter brother of the present Governor at the I Kenyon yesterday But I am certain that Bryan aild the Governor will carry Nebraska Mr Poynter who Is a Populist and publisher of the Albion Argus was asked if there was any real alllnlty between be-tween the Nebraska and Idaho Populists Popu-lists Oh we are quite decent people down in Nebraska he replied smiling We are not dynamiters and arc not given picking off mine superintendents superintend-ents S V colsMr Mr Poynter is a member of the Nebraska Ne-braska Press association and Is one of the most popular members of the I party now here I I The Pops Democrats and Silver Re i I 1 publicans are fused in our State the same as in Idaho said exState Auditor Audi-tor T H Benton of Lincoln Neb at the Manitou yesterday I doubt if the combination carries the State for Bryan Bry-an and Poynter though that Is possible However the Republicans are sure to make a good cleanup with the Legisla ture1 and two Republican Senators will be elected Mr Benton is a brother of City Ticket Agent Benton of the Western and a strong Republican When asked as to the difference between Idaho and Nebraska Pops he said the only reason why the latter did not act like their Idaho brethren was because Nebraska had no mines or mine superintendents I Mr Benton Is one of the Incorporators Incorpora-tors of the Cygnet Mining company at Stockton where ore Is being shipped assaying C4 per cent lead and 90 ounces I silver He leaves for home this week to lake part In the campaign I I have been talking with Democrats In San Francisco and am convinced that California will go Republican by 50000 majority said Sylvester Johnston John-ston of Pasadena at the White house yesterday and Bryan will be one of the worst defeated candidates that ever ran for the Presidency The State Is most prosperous commercially and the causes leading up to It are easy to see and the voting public sees them The rain In May last was misplaced and came too late to be of much benefit bene-fit It should have showed up In February Feb-ruary when home lasting good might have been derived from it There will be no rain now until next fall Winds from the ocean at this time of the year do not bring any precipitation I I 0 a i True all the negroes are shut out of politics in Louisiana and there is therefore no danger of the State going Republican at this election said Thomas Leach of Now Orleans at the Kmilsfbrd yesterday But all the same there Is J a white Republican party being organized and already It is attracting at-tracting attention in New Orleans Some diy it ought to be quite a factor in State and national politics Prof W D Allen president of the Masonic

sueh a magnificent monument to the enterprise of your citizens as Salt air beach It would do crecllt to New I York The marvelous stories I had read I of the buoyancy of the water were I overtopped today when I bathed in it Salt Lake has a great future All that Is necessary Is that her beauty her people and her attractions should become be-come better known When that time I comes many hundreds
