McKin1ey's Notice.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 10.-Governor
Mckinley has discovered the identity
of a little girl who last summer tagged
a railway train and prevented an acct
dent, and upon whom Nine Gina Gellet,
directress of the Society Of Life Saving
off France, wishes to bestow the decora-
ton of the society.
She is Jennie Creek, aged years,
daughter of farmer living near Mill
Grove, station on the Pennsylvania
railway in Indiana. She discovered a
bridge near her home on fire, and re-
moving her red flannel skirt tagged the
train. Governor Mckinley will suggest
to Nine. Gellet that if she will send him
the medal she proposes to present, he
will see that it reaches the little heroine.

Notice to Inventors.

There was never time in the history
Of onr country when tho demand for
inventions and Improvements in the arts
md sciences generally was 80 great as
now. The convepiences OF mankind in
the factory and Workshop, the house
bold on the farm, and in official life,
require continual scceesions 10 the APP
performances and implements OF each in
order 10 save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton Of government does not affect the
progress OF the American inventor who
being on the alert, and ready to per-
ceive tho existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affair Of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the remedy
to overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care can not be exercised in choos
ing q competent and skilliul attorney to
prepare and prosecute an application for
patent Valuable interests have been
lost and destroyed in innumerable in
stances by the employment of incompe-
tentoouus2l, and especially is this advice
applicable TO those who adopt the "No
patent, no pay" system. Inventors

attorneys do 80 at imminent risk, as the

There are quite number of persons
in Lehi who do not take our paper,
Such persons OF times are in the dar&
regarding what is going on in our own
city for in talking to them about local
matters they are often heard 10 say "why
have not heard anything about it,
where did you see or learn that, and
the answer is why, in the BANNER don't
you take it?" In last weeks issue was
published the resolutions adopted at the
trustees and teachers convention held at
Provo protesting aga:nt the new school
law which became OF much interest when
read, and the paper was handed around
from person TO person, all being anxious
TO see and read the resolutions.
BY the above instance our attention
was called to the fact that our own people
don't understand the intention OF the
paper, which is to give all the local news
possible, and then all the other news
that reaches us which is OF interest to
our readers. As to the first we generally
get without much expense, but as to the
second we find considerable trouble in
obtaining, and the question naturally
asked who is TO blame for that. No
doubt the people think aud say we are.
But we say this is not correct az we
think we can shown few words and in
simple manner, that matter rests with
the people OF this end Of our county, in
the patronage they give the paper. Ii
they will give ii sufficient support 80
that we can have travelling agent and
correspondent all the time gathering mp
the news, there would be no need OF
sending out eide Of Lehi to get all the
news for we could furnish it and the
money which Is sent out could be kept
here. BY such eorse moro employment
would be needed in this office. Instead
OF employing or persons, We would
need more than double that number
That would increase our pay roll with
our own money for instead of sending
1t away it would be kept here to be re-
turned to the people again. Thus il is to
be seen il is not the large amount OF
money we need so much, a. IL is 10 make
the best use Of that we have al our
command. II the peopil only thought
80 Lehi might just as well be running a
semi weekly or daily papers as not.

A Few Questions.

l. Will some one inform the readers
OF the BANNER what the people OF Utah
are going to do for the young people
in the shape OF homes and employment
ii. How, and where are they to get
employment? Who should seek to pro-
vide them with employment?
Ill. II their parents who have the
means do not put the means together Ia
start and foster new industries for them
who will?
~ Which is the greater beneiactor
he who by his influence persuades
persons to come TO this goodly land, OF
he who spends his means to provide
them with employment when they gel
here?
V. Ia there any imperative necessity
that the people OF Utah should be out Of
employment?

Extravagant stories are told about

quate supply is hard TO obtain, on ac-
count OF the slight and gradual fall of
the stream and the level character of
the outlying lands. To overcome this
lack of water rs well 40 insure suiil-

A Nice Story.

The Logan Journal publishes one Of
our pupils stories about the two
travellers then gives another version OF
IL as follows:
A certain man built MILL lie was
afraid he could not make ii pay so he
said to l,is neighbours Contribute
something 10 make good our losses" A
neighbor asked the miller what he meant
by "our losses" "0h, said the miller"
"you are the public and my mill is u
public benefit" "All right said his
neighbors, and they all Clipped in. The
mill hourished and the miller grew rich
His neighbors called upon him again.
I'VE have -. for portion Of our
profits" said they" "What do you
mean by our profts7" he asked"
why said the neighbors this mill IL
q public concern and we are the public. "
But the miller would not see it in that
light. His neighbors withdrew and drafted
the following resolutions which will serve
ns n moral to this tale: When a business
does not pay it should be Abandoned
unless its losses are paid by those who,
in prosperous times, will share the
gains"
That is very nice story but the mill
in question did not flourish to such al
extent that the miller grew rich in fact
it had hard time to keep going so that
the people could not ask for profits.
The moral better be Withheld until the
rest Of the story is applicable.
