I IN UPPER EGYPT ' ; j Leigh Hurlc, Well Known as a Promoter All Over the West , j: i and Northwest, Will Build Up Opposition to ' American Cotton Planters, i ' ; ltjgh mm II A gentleman now resident of Salt I jLake who was Intimately associated I ivrlth Lehjh Hunt -when he was riding I I the tidal wave o prosperity In the I 2sorthve8t, when he was conducting I the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and when (he was supposed to be worth his mil lions as a result of daring plunges ' In f the real-estate mart, tells of the great 'promoter's latest scheme to establish large cotton plantations' in the valley of the upper Nile. "Hunt was almost ao well lenown as 1 ' any man In the whole Northwest at one j time," this gentleman said, discussing j t the subject with some friends In the (lobby of the Wilson. "This was before j 1 i the crash of 1S33 swept away all his j property and left him a wreck tinan 'clally; but he Is one of those fellows (who cannot be kept down, and now he . has? a greater scheme than any lie ever 1 ( , undertook before. The record-breaking1 I i , I price of cctton In recent days and the Hide fluctuations In the price makes I, j Ithls of special Interest at this time. , j "Cotton growers of the United Suites I '1 have In Hunt a most formidable rival, as he is backed by the Government of I ; Egypt and the influence- of England. i He intends to take to the Soudai; a large i j number of negro farmers from the I United States, and. In the course of a few years, exptcts to have 2.000,000 acres 1 i under cultivation. When he gets this plantation In operation he expects to give a death blow to cotton corners and to supply the markets of the United Kingdom with the cotton for which It , j now depends on the United States. ' j "Leigh Hunt, not many years ago, ; was a school teacher in Iowa. He went to Seattle to seek his fortune. There ' J he became a newspaper proprietor, and 1 ' .speculated In real estate. Those were , i the 'boom' days and he accumulated j money fast and real estate faster. Mr. j Hunt was in a few years worth several I i million dollars. But he was ruined In the panic of 1S93. j "Instead of crushing, adversity only , served to bring out the strong points in the man. He turned his back on Mw the world of sport ' .Ilogan sports I; !

Mcr- B, j rill, who substituted, played a hard same. . i J but did not do anything at the baskot, he H m I 1 1 being forced Into a position he was notac- H 1 customed to playing. Thin to some extent L ( , tccountn for the Loganltcs not running H j l 1 up the score. f j 1, The.se two gainow were tho llcrcest ovor HP J played in the church school league, and , have perhaps developed more college H ; i spirit and ir'cndly rivalry between tho 1 schools than anything that has ever hup i pened. .The Saints at the prexent time are , undoubtedly the best balanced team. They K. ; are cool-headed, their tini work cxc:l lent, and thoy arc In the pink of condl- Hl J 1 tlon. Tho Logan team lose their heads H I jri i occasionally, tholr powor of endurance is j j;j , not so ;-;ood as either of the other teams. H H H while their team work Is first-class, and H It they arc pcrhap3 the most speedy team In I U the league. In every gaino Llicv have fl if played this year they have oeen star ao H 9 K tors during tho first half, while they havo H" lr wuncl during the second half, cither los- 0 ins thc Samo or having their margin cut H 3 down. Tho Provokes nro slower than Jl 1 ' ithcr of tho other teams and aro woc- B ' lully deficient In team work. They am (ft line specimens of physical manhood and 1 ii i l,lay rt nard gami They play too rough, Jf howecr. perhaps due to the fact that thty haVU not ycd baskcthai; na long us tho ! the United States and went to the Orient. After wandering through Japan and China he went to Korea. l'In the mountnins of Korea he lo cated gold-bearing quaits in largo quantities. By obtaining a concession trom the Kin? of Korea, he was able to establish a company, and he suc ceeded in interesting J. Slont Fassett. of New York State, In his project. The result was the accumulation of enor mous fortunes for both men. "Hunt went to Egypt and the Soudan for his health, spending tho winters of 1 1902 and 1903 there, and became inter I estcd in the great projects of the British I for the development of the country. He I studied the railroad through the Upper I Cataract and the great dam at Assunn. Bui, more than anything else, he was Interested In the railroad which was being projected from Berber to the Red sea at Suakin. He felt stire that the country lying south of Berber was ca pable of exactly the agricultural devel opment that wos attained in the valley of the Nile nearer its mouth. Mr. Hunt made a proposition to the Egyptian Government, which was entertained, and the project of founding a great cot ton growing plantation in the very heart of what was the Desert of Der I vishes a few years ago Is In a fair way of accomplishment. "The phenomenal rise In the price of cotton which has taken place In the last year has aroused the cotton spinning Interests of England to a very lively realization of their dependence upon the United States for the raw material of their Industry. Of all the manufactur ing exports of the United Kingdom, cot ton goods are chief In Importance. "The Soudan, unlike Egypt, Is ac tually British territory. Hunt's plans In the Soudan have no speculative fea tures. Tho money Is all provided to open and conduct actual farming opera tions'In the Soudan upon whatover scale shall at fi-st be found feasible. Mr. Hunt recognizes, however, that the big problem is that of colonizing the coun try or of leaching and inducing the scattered tribes to settle down to sys tematic industry. He Is making no plans to take colonists from tho United States." other schools and do not know the game so well. Logan lovers of the SDort aro looking forward with much interest to tho com ing contest between the Saints and tho homo team, und the boyo are going to make a bold stand to win tho last gamo against tho victors. LONG AND HEURERA TO EIGHT IN ANACONTJA TRIBUNE SPECIAL. Anaconda, Mont, Feb. 7. Local sports aro Jubilant ovor tho fact that the mill between Louie Long and Hcrrera, tho Mexican, is to be fought here Instead of In Butte, as was the rumor a few days ago. The Mt. Haggln club, which has the match In charge, received an offer from a local club in Butte to handle tho bout, and for a lew days to all appearances it looked as If the mill would be transferred to th? smoky burg. However, last even ing tho plans of the Butte club fell Hut at the announcement of Mayor Mulllnu that there would bo no boxing permitted lu Butte. Special arrangements will bo made by the management of the Mt. Hag- ?ln club for trains to convey light patrons rom Butte, and from all Indications a locord-breaklng crowd will attend this go, which Is conceded to be tho strongest pugilistic attraction ever ncen In this part of the country, llerrera Is a great favor ite with the local fans hr and around Butte and Anaconda, but In this bout ho Is pitted against an opponent who has pi-oven himself his equal. LARGE CROWD PLEASED AT HELD CONCERT Tho usual good crowd attended the Hold band concert at tho Grand last night, and aluost every number on the programme brought forth fluttering evi dence of appreciation of tho efforts of tho performers. Miss Emily Larson, the vocalist of the evening, fairly captivated the aufllenco with her nolo, "Happy Days," for which Ben DIclcsou executed a Uuto accompaniment, and for an encoro she sang "Sing Mo to Sleep," very sweetly. Tho cornet solos of Mr. Held and Mr. Leslie, tho sextette from "Lucia" and tho comlquo selection, VRalzenell." were fea tures .which aroused more than ordinary enthusiasm. Mr. Held announced that the Schumann Concert companv had been en gaged to awHlst tho band In next Sunday night's concert. $30,000 stock of Diamonds, Watches. Jewelry, Silverware. Cut Glass.

MANAGER M'CLOSKEY IS WELL PLEASED WITH BASE BALL OUTLOOK. John J. McCloskey, manager of the Salt Lake baseball team, returned yes terday from a trip to Boise and tho Northwest. In Bolso ho found condi tions favorable to the entrance of that city Into the proposed league It Is said that efforts are now being made to secure Helena as one of the towns comprising tho league. Ogden, It is said, will Join provided vix teams can be secured. The Weber city objects to entering Into a four-team league, but Is willing to go In with a half dozen others. Apparently It Is now up to Hel ena to finish the completion of tho league, and It Is said that thRt city will likely enter. HE ADMITS HIS GUILT. CLOTHES-LINE THIEF BREAKS DOWN AND MAKES A CON FESSION. Ernest Lnndqulst, the alleged clothes lino thief who was taken In by Mounted Patrolman CIIvo on Fourth East street Saturday night, under suspicious circum stances, yesterday had the tolls tightened about him to a considerable deeroe.

Moon of No. 0 Phlpps terraco as having been among somo garments which were missed from her clothee-llne. and. In addition to this, a bicycle was found that had been stolen by Lundqulst. The wheel was found accidentally bv Scrgt. Roberts yesterday where It hail been hidden under a stairway In Holmes court. It was found to be the property of Fred Evans of 329 East Fourth South street.

He will bo nrrahmcd In tho City court today. FROM SHEM TO MOAPA. SOUTHERN UTAH MUCH INTER ESTED EN A SPUR OF THE SAN PEDRO. 'The St. Georgo Advocato has the fol lowing Item of railroad news of deep ln-i tcrest to the people of that part of Utah: That the Utah and Eastern Copper company means business In the matter of their projected toll road from Shorn to Moopa, nearest station on tho new Clark road, Is evidenced by the fact that Sur veyor Isaac C. Macfarlanc, who was em ployed to map out the road, is today on tho ground for the purpose of awarding contracts for the construction of tho road. By the opening of this new route nearly thirty miles will bu cut off th6 wagon haul between Shem and the railroad, over which all tho company's coke and bullion has to pass. The road Is being opened by tho com pnny under a franchise for a toll road granted by tho County Commissioners, and a toll will bo charged other teams not In tho employ of the company, for pass ing over it. As It will Bhorton tho dls tanco between St, Georgo and tho rail road, it is expected that much freight of this section will be brought over the new road, which It Is the Intention of tho com- ' pany to maintain In good condition. Of course, in order that the pcoplo of this section may avail themselves of U1I3 shorter and better route, It will be neces sary for considerable work to be per formed on the road between Shem and this city, vln the Clara creek, which Is anything but an automobile boulevard. Still the expense would not be great to convert this Into a fairly passable high way. With tho completion of- this road and the laying of the steel track across the mountain from the mine, the cost or treating and marketing tho ores fr6m tho Dlxlo will bo materially diminished. 1 ...GAMER BASLY STORE NEWS... j I , - j , ; f-$ O 4 Some mighty fine snits ! jj fm Cv f QIld overcoats j i Those which we are 1 LL I WL -S j selling at $10.00. 3 I'WyK J&C Better come in now and I rhj ':l M)Pk do vour cboosine i I wwwJmm . r" thr's n 1 e5 a B Jl h$M ' u iVftftf ) range of sizes and a ? i ) V I,r 1 iM Wwxh sood s0,ection of styles- I I v 0''!ify There's no telling when ' lf MW mother chance like this tl - 'W -iW will present itself. & -rViW.; " )fy SyMtm So we advise you to g $ kill.-' - "it- 'SsSfi :: ""S, fV ibW uike time by the forelock, k Jtl & Somo great hat bar- N; gains are here, too. t t : I !
