The Great Bear River canal is to
be one of the grandest irrigation pro-
iects in America. Two million dol
lars have been provided for its con-
struction. To get the river along the
side hill along Bear river canon and
out on the plain near Plymouth will
necessitate moving 100000 cubic
yards of solid rock, $4,000 cubic
yards of loose rock, 1,529, 900 cubic
yards of earth and digging 1,2O9 feet
of tunnel. This canal will irrigate
100000 acres in Salt Lake valley,
5000, 200 on Bear river, increasing
the value of the land to $50 per acre.
while fencing, building and tillage
will double this valuation in few
days. Deer Lake is in Southeastern
Idaho. The reservoir for this canal
covers $50 square miles, and the ca.
nal will secure the irrigation of 8
territory extending to Ogden.

be noted as a mercantile fact that the
trust, while making very handsome
profit, is nevertheless clearing some
what less than last season. The
margin between the price of raw and
imported refined sugar would enable
it to obtain little higher rates than
are now current, but in Difference to
public sentiment it is not getting
quite as much ont of its monopoly as
it might. We are very glad that it
feels the advisability of making some
concessions to public sentiment. The
members of the trust deprecate high
prices; it can make more money when
raw sugar is cheap, and did make
more last season. The advance is
mainly due to short supply of raw
sugar the world over.
The receipts from the sale of
stamps BY the post-office department
were larger in the quarter ending
Dec. .1SS8, than in any previous
quartefSn the history of the govern
ment. They amounted to s13,741,-
O64.07, against $12,S45, ,111.92 for
the corresponding quarter of 1887.
The aggregate revenue of the depart
ment for the quarter ending Dec. 81 !,
1888, was 1869, ,991.16, and the
expenditures for the quarter were
S15, 1924, 10. The deficit was for
the quarter of $663, ,032.94. The de-
ficit was much smaller than for the
quarter ending Sep. 80, 1888, when
the aggregate revenue was $12, 2,903,-
137.4 .4S, and the expenditures were
$14, 720,215.S3. Taking the two
quarters together the deficit is S2,-
47O,111.29, which would make it
nearly S., 100000 for the year, but
the large business and the diminished
deficit of the last quarter audited
iustifes the belief that the actual de-
fcit at the end of the fiscal year will
be less rather than more than it was
last year, when it was about S3,S0O,-
900. The aggregate receipts for the
fiscal year ending June 80 will prob
ably exceed $50, 100000, an increase
of about So 900, 900 over last year.

The pension office had for the fis-
81 year now closing an appropria-
Ion of nearly $50, 100000 and a de-
'nciency appropriation of S8,000,00
making a total of nearly s9O, 200, 900,
md all of this has been spent. That
even this sum is insufficient to pay all
the certificates for this year is GER
tain. How great the deficiency is
cannot be asceTtained yet, but the
requisition for $4,000, 900, out of
the appropriation for the next fiscal
year, which the commissioner has al
ready made, gives some idea of the
amount. The pension disbursements
for the present fiscal year are larger
than in any previous year, and the
disbursements for the next fiscal veal
will be larger than in any previous year
The continuance of the present policy
will increase the pension disbursements
several millions year for the mex
fifteen or twenty years. There ar
now in the pension office awaiting eX
animation 100000 applications fo
increase of pensions, and as the rat,
of pension is In most cases fixed b.
the commissioner, and not by the &C
of congress, the determination 0
Commissioner Tanner TO make al
pensions as large as possible will 0
course vastly stimulate these applica
tons for increase.

One of Abraham Lincoln's boy
hood friends, known for many years
as cold John Hanks died at his
farm, near Decatur, Ill.,, recently. 1t
was while he was employed on this
very farm by the late Mr.. Hanks that
Mr.. Lincoln achieved such fame as q
rail-splitter and it was this same
JOHN uanno VINO 1000 Introduced
the rail-splitting cry into the Lincoln
campaign with such marked effect,
even furnishing for the furtherance
of this historically notable enthusiasm
rails from his farm, which Lincoln
had split, as campaign standards.
Though Mr.. Hanks had formerly
been of opposite politics, his faith in
Lincoln caused him to not only change
but enter into the matter of booming
his friend with such fervor that the
first republican president always rec
ognized his loyalty and energy as i'm
portant factors in securing an cleo
ton. The assassination of Mr.. Lin
coin greatly unnerved and depressed
Hanks, who has never since been
| quite right in his mind.

means of preventing such floods, and
that he would sell it to the United

A man writes to the pension oureau
to ask whether or not he is entitled

to know if his crippled child, as well

inventors, and even lawyers unac-
quainted with the practice, are be-
wildering. The clerk softly tucks
such letter into the middle of the

The navy department has decided
that to change all the flags now in

forty-two stars instead of those hav-

changed as it wears out. The ap-
pearance of the new flag is not no.
ticeably different from the old. The
law about the flag is very indefinite.

The nomination by President Har-
rison of Hon. Ernest HI. Crosby to be
the American judge in the interna-
tional tribunal of Egypt, meets with
general and very cordial approval.
Mr.. Crosby has represented the twen-
ty-first district, New York county, in
the assembly for three years and has
been a prominent and influential mem
Der of that body. His name is es-
pecially identified with the cause of
high license, which he has champion
ed with unfagging zeal. A graduate
of the university of New York and
the Columbia College law school, his
education and legal experience COM
bined with great natural capacity es-
pecially qualify him for the post to
which he has been assigned. The Of
flee was held for over ten years by
that distinguished Saratogian, Gen.
George S. Batcheller, now assistant
secretary of the treasury. Such rep
resentatives of American ability, cul-
ture and personal worth as Gen.
Batcheller and Mr.. Crosby can not
fail to reflect credit on the national

Moving.

There are few things most women dread as
much as moving, for in most homes it means
week of conf lsion at the least. Although
it may mean a general Improvement in the
matter of abode, yet the decentralization at
tending the removal takes away the charm
of betterment until settled Many women
will put up with any amount of inconve-
nience rather than move. The men folks of
the family are OF, as a rule, fond of this occu-
patton, the ma! ority of them believing, with
Franklin, that two movings are as bad as a
fire."
When packing for moving it is best to pack
the furniture o each room separately, mark
ing it SO it may be kept together and placed
in the room lotted it in the new house at
first, and a great deal of confusion will be
saved. If the new abode is near it is best to
carry all pictures mot too large) and any
fragile articles by hand, hanging the pict-
ures in their proper places before moving in
The carpets, with the exception of the oil
--iofh-a hall and .tar carpets can he put down
ere the rest OF the furniture arrives. To be
sure, they will have to be fitted TO the new
rooms and ought to be lifted and sent day
OF two at least before the remainder of the
furniture. The curtains, too, with the excep-
tion of those In the kitchen and sitting room,
can be sent and put up day ahead. When
this is done the rest of the settling is not very
hard, for When the furniture arrives there
should be some one at the house to designate
the rooms to which each article of furniture
is to go, and the proper adjustment of the
furnishings of the rooms will come very easy.

Filing a Girls Tongue.

"Helpl Help! Take it OFF,
The above cry startled Principal Huber, of
the Evangelical Lutheran school, about
o'clock the other afternoon. He rushed
from the school house and was surprised to
see one of his pupils, pretty 1l-year-old Pau
line Arndt come toward him with fat tin
coffee can protruding from her mouth Pau
line carried her dinner in basket Her cof-
fee she carried i'm a fat tin can, the cover of
which Is screwed on. After eating dinner
and drinking Ter coffee Tuesday noon she
playfully stuck her tongue into the small hole
on top, and when she attempted to withdraw
that useful me nber she found she could not
do SO. She ran screaming to the school house
and Mr.. Huber tried to relieve her, but found
he could not do so.
The imprisoned tongue had rapidly swol-
len, making it impossible to draw it back
again. Picking her up in his arms the
teacher took Ter to his home. 79 Mitchell
avenue DR. Siefert was summoned and put
the suffering little one to sleep by means of
chloroform. Piece by piece the can was cut
away, but when the small band around the
tongue was reached the physician was baked.
Only for "A moment, however. A file was
procured and the band carefully filed away.
When this was done the child was brought
back to consciousness and taken home.
Pauline was all right again in a few days and
her tongue ON 70 more resumed its normal
state Denver Sun.
