The Hon. Carter Il. Harrison, in Afa
Race with the Sum-" describes visit to
come timber yards and saw mills in Rail-
COON, where he saw what he calls the lions
OF the city-the working elephants. The
lumber is not sawed into boards, but the
slab is taken of and the good stuff left in
the form of square timber. The logs are
many of them three feet in diameter and
thirty or forty feet long. These the ele-
plants draw from the river and pile in
systematic order. Then, when they are
needed, they roll them to the ways and as
sist in adjusting them for the saw.
After the log is cut the elephant goes
among the machinery, takes the slabs
away and carries the good timber and
piles it up or lays it gently upon the OK
carts to be hauled off
While we were present carpenter want
ed lumber from particular log which was
under several others. One of the monsters
rolled the upper logs off and pushed the
chosen stick 20 the mill The way was not
clear-the log butted against the others.
He pushed these aside and guided bis piece
through thsm with sagacfty almost hui
man.
His stick became wedged. He pushed
and tugged; II would not Dudge, but at a
whispered word from the mahout and the
promise of nice food he bent to it. Still it
stuck With a whistle audible for half a
mile, he got on his knees, Strengthened out
his hind legs, and put his whole force into
push. He was successful. We could al
most read his satisfaction in the gentle
flaps of his huge ears and the graceful
curve of his proboscis as he put up to the
mounted mahout, asking for his reward
Sticks more than two feet thick and
twenty feet long are lifted bodily upon the
great ivories, and are then carried off and
laid upon the gangways SO gently as not to
make jar. We saw one of the elephants
carrying such timber along a path not
three feet wide among masses of loose logs
He had to plant his fore feet upon the
logs, and thus walk considerable dis
tance. He looked as if he were walking
upon his hind legs. The corner of frail
little bamboo hut stood in his way He
lifted the log over the roof, and bent his
body so that his sides gently scraped the
corner of the house and did not shake it.
A hundredth part of his weight would
have caused it to topple from it's pile foun-
dation.

CLEAN UP.

The conclusion is safe that spring
has come this time to stay. Growing
weather is at hand. a few days of
genial sunshine and the live earth will
begin to put forth its vitality. And in
appreciating the immeasurable joy
that attends the opening of the season
of growth, it is profitable to bear in
mind that the universal companion of
life is death; that the same sun which
makes the grasses shoot and the or
chards and gardens clothe themselves
in their luxurious colors, and fills the
air with nature sweetest harmonies,
also sets at work the germs of decay,
and calls from the warm bosom Of
earth odors putrid as we'll as sweet. 1t
is not a pleasant thought, but the con-
summation of pleasure will be very
much more secure and therefore ap-
preciated if the thought, however dis
agreeable, is INDUCED and its prompt
ings needed. The accumulation of a
long, close winter are sure to be loaded
with germs of disease and matter
which is ready with the first warmth
to begin death breeding decomposi-
tion. Thoughtful people will lose no
time in dispoSing of all such where it
will not result in evil to themselves
and their neighbors. As a rule bad
odors are poison as well as isagree-
able; but all poisons are not odorous,
and the only security against infecti-
Gus decay is absolute cleanliness.
The city has sanitary ordinance
which makes it an offense to be un-
clean to the extent Of endangering the
public health. People who have not
onvugn OF respect ana human deCency
to attend promptly to such require
ments should be made to do so or suf-
fer for their neglect in way that will
not cause others to suffer with them.
This law should be enforced with the
utmost vigor by wise and vigilant Of
ficials. If we would enjoy good health
we must be clean. Filth is death.

How Plaster casts Are Made.

"Where do all these plaster figures come
from?" heard some one inquire the other
day. They are made right here in Spring
field. In an old, one story building on
West Worthington street is room where
these are produced in large numbers The
Italian who does the work is an intelligent
young man with fair knowledge of COM
mon English words which he can string
into short sentences. Visitors are not well
come during the morning hours when he
is casting, but in the afternoon he opens
the door, and sits by it at his work of
cleaning and patching. The molds are
made in two or three pieces, according 20
the size and shape of the cast. These sec
tions are clamped together and the plaster
is poured into them and allowed to become
hard
In removing the casts occasionally a nose
is broken from Virgin Mary, or an arm
of Joseph is cracked. Sometimes the beard
of saint is knocked around under his ear,
and the spear of a gUards2lan is missing
Does the molder throw these into the
waste? Oh, DO. He simply puts on a nose,
adds spear, builds up new beard and
mends the arm with freshly mixed plaster.
using small smoothing trowel and his
thumb for tools. When the cast has drieS
he smooths up the surface with the trowel,
and scrapes off the finn left by the flask
joints. Then he gilds them in gold and
bronze, and the second day they are ready
to be peddled about the streets.

WHAT THE EFFECT WOULD BEg
The Ogden Commercial" Shakes In
Its Shoes Over the Prospects of
a Political Division.

What will he the effects on the poll
tics of Utah if the attempt to organize
the Republican and Democratic par
ties, inaugurated in Ogden, should be
successful throughout the territory!
The effects will be to destroy the Lib
eral party, to make the Mormon party
victorious everywhere in the territory,
and to produce the most stupendous
political toadyism ever known on this
continent.
The political situation is us follows:
The Peoples or Mormon party has an
absolute majority of about 0,000 over
all combined elements opposed to it..
AS party, it has the most perfect and
splendid organization ever known in
the history of politics. Its organiza-
tion is more complete in its details
and under better discipline than the
regular army of the United States.
So thorough is its discipline that no
thought of disobedience enters the
minds Of its voters. The principle
most strongly inculcated is obedience
| to the dictum of its rulers. Obligations
AS binding as any ever conferred by
secret societies prevent disobedience.
Al this is reinforced by strong feel
ing of religious duty to protect the
temporal interests Of the church to
which this army of voters belongs.
This magnificent organization can be
and is controlled by central power
that brooks neither interference, dis
obedience or rebellion. 1t should be
further considered that this party
looks upon this territory as its own
special home, and that its most sacred
duty is to protect and rule this terri
tory.
In several localities in Utah-not-
ably Salt Lake city, Ogden and Park
City-the united opposition against
the Peoples party, under the name of
the Liberal party, has achieved vic
tories. Bus such victories could only
have been gained and can only be
maintained 10y the same union of
forces that won them.
Is it reasonable to suppose for a
moment that such splendid and
powerful organization as the Peoples
party will disband and surrender GER
tain victory in the face of a vastly
inferior political power that has only
gained few footholds and proposes to
dismember itself so that these few
footholds can be retaken with a mini
mum of effort?
To suppose that this would he the
case implies a belief in so remarkable
generosity and giving up of ad-
vantage and power that it finds no
parallel in politics or human nature.
But it is urged that this process of dis
memberment is already going on. In
answer to that it can be said that the
process, so far as heard from, is of too
unimportant a character to form
basis TOR such statement. 1t is true
that few gentlemen of local promi-
nence in this city have identified
themselves with this process, but their
influence upon the great Peoples
party is so far lacking in official signi-
ficance that whisper from Salt Lake
city would blast the movement as
frost destroys delicate fower.-Og-
den Commercial.

Forslgn manufacturers have found a
way to circumvent the tariff law Just as
the publishers found how to circumvent
the lack OF an international copyright
law. The plan was revealed by Herr
Jung, one of the delegates to the Inter
national Iron and Steel congress. Herr
Jung said: cas- result of the visit of
German iron men to this country. many
of our most experienced iron manufact-
urers will invest their money here and
become citizens of the republic. Visits
are being made to every part Of the
United States by delegates with view
of establishing at different advantageous
points great manufactures" 1t will
then still be competition between Amer
ican and German iron making, but the
competition will be upon American soil.

Two men were standing outside Broad

the gorgeous display of glittering jewels
that lay before them and criticising such
as failed to suit their fancy Presently one
of them, pointing to an object in a red

FARM PRoSP EcTS.

In conversation with farmers, and
riding through the country. we have
observed that the prospects for good
crop of farm products is excellent. We
need not be afraid of raising too much
for there will be steady market fol
all surplus grain and other articles
produced by the farmer. Fore ign
countries depend upon America for
bread, and we can see no reason why
Utah should not contribute her portion
for the sustenance of the human race,
although we do not believe she should
rob herself in the desire to turn grain
into gold. New farms are springing
up all around us IN every direction:
even on the once waste prairies can be
seen green fields of grain growing rap
idly, and in short time the most
busy period of the farmers life will
begin. The vast immigration to the
country from foreign shores will no
doubt fill the country with 'hands"
anxious to obtain labor. If this tide
should reach as far west as Utah, our
farmers will receive some benefit from
it in the way of reasonable labor. We
do not believe that the laboring man
should be brought down to nothing
because he is laboring man, nor do
we believe that the farmer can afford
on an average to give the laborer 50
per day while he himself. counting
from harvest to harvest, can earn but
sl.50 per day. The principle we should
all adoptis ''live and let live" and
manage our affairs so that none need
lack for the common necessaries of life.
The machinery that is within the reach
of almost every agricultul naturally
brings down labor, as one man with
good machine and span of horses can
perform the labor of from six to eight
men, and the work generally perform
ed in better style. Some years ago,
when grain had to he cut and bound
by hand, and in so ne instances |
threshed in the same way, the farmer !
had anything but an easy task on
hand. But thanks to the genius of |
men, great amount of labor is now
saved. In consequence of this ma
chinery many of our inhabitants idle
away a great portion of the time; but
70 all such we would say get farms of
your own, improve your time. and bind
your own wheat with yonr own ma
chimes instead OF binding by hand for
other people.
There is room enough for all. Thou
sands Of acres are waiting to be re-
claimed by the hand of industry and
1t is not a chance game.
So long as the earth is inhabited, 50
long will those inhabitants need
bread. 1t is the duty of the farmer to
supply this bread and feed every living
being, and this his industry will ac-
