There exists in San Juan county, Utah, three wonderful natural bridges. The largest of these bridges spans a canyon 335 feet and 7 inches from wall to wall, and is a splendid r.rch of solid sandstone, 60 feet thick in the central part and 40 feet wide. Underneath it there is a clear opening 357 feet in perpendicular height The accompanying cut, reproduced o-- Park City Record: The new party movement seems to have been enthusiastically received in Salt Lake, and its supporters are working energetically for its success. If the new party outlives the. campaign this fall, it will receive the support of many who now are opposed to it, because ihey hi: lieve it to be the work of a few disappointed politicians, who are working against their partys interests because they couldnt put up the ticket thev wanted ar the recent convention. The principles 01 the new pariy all right, but the motives which prompted ils organization are jealously, hatred and revenge rather than- a desire to do the state good. We believe with all other right thinking individuals, that there should be absolute separation of church and state, but we think this a very inopportune time in which to launch the movement. Let the Republicans stick together, support and elect the entire Republican ticket this fall, and then we will be in a position to fight any - evils that menace this great state. J Herald: Senator Nampa (Ida.) Thomas Kearns of Utah, who was elected to the United States senate through a shameless and brazen deal with the Mormon church officials, has now dedicated himself to the redemption of Utah politics from the apostolic influence. He has organized a new party, which will be backed by all of the Kearns wealth and by the powerful Kearns newspaper, the Tribune, but it is doubtful whether it will attract any considerable following. Judge Goodwin, the veteran leader, predicts that it will hardly survive the present campaign, and many of those who took part in the old fight against the Mormons will refuse to identify themselves with the Kearns movement.' This is due chiefly to the unpopularity of Kearns and the suspicion that the founders of the new party are not impelled by pure and lofty motives. Kearns himself solicited the apostolic influence to gain a seat in the senate four years ago, and, according to common report,' sought to make another deal this year, but was thwarted by Senator Smoot. There is a suspicion that in forming the new party be is actuated chiefly by a spirit of revenge, and there are many honest men and women who will refuse to ro!pOW is leadership.
