THE men who were duped by the
electric" sugar refinery swindlers were
business men of experience and fair
reputation for intelligence. The humor-
lists of the press write a great many
very funny things about the encounters
of unsophisticated country people with
metropolitan confidence men, but they
might with quite as sound fOunda-
ton in fact devote themselves to the
easy methods by which city men, who
pride themselves on their shrewdness,
are "sold." Readers of the newspapers
know that Keely motors, electric refiner-
les and the like are far more successful
than ''bunko" rlen or other sharks who
prey on the inexperienced.

In an article endeavOring to show that
the early legislation of Congress did not
recognize the principle of protection,

this act, as in all the revenue legislation
prior to 1915, the protection idea was almost
The act referred to, that of July 4,
1898, expressly declared in it's preamble
that it was for "the encouragement and
protection of manufactures" as well as
for revenue. The duties levied by it
were increased fifteen times by fifteen
different acts between 1889 and 1916.
The principle of protection was recog-
nized in every one of these acts. The
following table shows the duties levied

The action OF the City Council in the
Board of Health matter was wise and
proper. If, as Mayor Denny assumes,
no ordinance formally creating the
board is found, then organizing a new
board is simple matter. If, upon in
vestigatiOn, an ordinance is discovered
to exist, it may be repealed and new
board as readily established. 1t is the
duty of the Council to consider the city's
welfare regardless of personal prefer
ence or prejudice, and unless harmony
among the present officials can be speed
ilyrestored through the exercise of their
own good sense, the efficiency of the
body must be greatly impaired, and
severe measures can be the only remedy.

Senate he said:
"When steelrailsi in this country were sell
ing at the enormous price of SS5 $50 and
even 500 ton the Vulcan irOn-w0rks, of
my State, went into a contract with the
steel-rail trust which then existed and re-
ceived $500 900 each year for three years not
to run, and they closed down; and that is
the ordinary proceeding of these trusts all
over the country
AS this related to an occurrence in
"my State" of which the speaker seemed
to have personal knowledge, it passed
unchallenged. But writer in the Bull
letin of the Iron and Steel Association,
who does know the facts, says:
"The agreement with the. Vulcan iron
works was not made by steel-rail trust,
as alleged by Senator Vest. No such trust
ment was made by certain Steel-rail cOmpa-
MES, and for strictly legitimate business
purpose, namely, to prevent the works,
which were under the sheriff's hammer,
from falling into the hands of purchasers
who would have bought them for a song,
and who, having scarcely any capital in
vested, could have made rails in ruinous
competition with companies which had
millions invested. The agreement lasted
exactly. one year, from October, 1873, to
bcptcMUcC, 1913, duu I1Ot tuTcc years. Il ut
sum paid to the Vulcan iron-wOrks was
$4,000 for one year, and not $500, goo per an
mum for three years. The price of steel
rails at the time of this agreement, and
throughout its continuance, was not $50,
$50, or even 500 tOn,' as stated by the
Senator, but was very much less than the
lowest of the prices named, averaging less
than $50 during the whole period of the
agreement with the Vulcan irOn-wOrks."

Robert Sleeves appeared before Commissioner
Norren yesterday afternoon to answer to the
charge preferred against him by Sophia Hem
engway, otherwise known as Sophy Johnson.
The evidence adduced was corroborative of the
statements recently made in an affidavit by the
complaining witness, who swore that Sleeves
was the father of the child in court with her, and
also of one that has not yet opened its eyes upon
this world of sorrow and tears. Her evidence
was corroborated to a certain extent by others,
who testified that the couple had been seen IN
der very compromising circumstances, and that
defendant had, on several occasions, left her
house at very early hour in the morning. The
actions and general demeanor Of the complain
ing witness while on the stand, would indicate
that she belongs TO a class that is barred from
good society,"" but it is further said that she
alleges that Sleeves was the author of
ruin, and that she fell underpromise of mar
rage Sleeves was held under $50 bonds to
await the action OF the grand jury.

BITS FROM BEAVER.

The Beaver wooden mills started up the
middle of last month with very pleasing
prospects of a fine run. Being a month
sooner than usual, it causes the people to
rejoice in the prospects Of good times here.
These mills furnish blanket and yarn that
is sought after in far-away California and
all our neighboring territories. The
Beaver mills have started out this year on
a cash basis, and intend pushing their goods
to other markets, and the present outlook
is very encouraging. Mr. William Ash
worth is the superintendent, and to his
able management the credit of the boom Is
due.
Messrs. Henry Blackner & Son have re
Gently purchased the Holt planning mill
plant and added their stock, consisting of
a steam engine, moulding machinery, etc.
Now Beaver can boast of having first
class steam, planning, moulding, door, sash
and saw mill that will be hard to out rival
in Salt Lake.
Beaver IS a great place for social gather
ings. Following in the wake of the Judge
Anderson reception comes the surprise
party on MarcenuS Cannon, the popular
stage driver between Beaver and Miners
vile. Miss Douglas Pollock, (chief con-
spiratOr), assisted by Mrs. Cannon, worked
a fine surprise on friend Cannon by invit-
ing few mutual friends to form the party,
who. after calling down at his residence,
adjourned to Thompson's hall and spent the
time till y o'clock, when a halt was called
to dispose Of the elegant repast served,
supplemented by some of Charlie Folks

especially when one of Friend Bricldey's
