EVENING, JULY 10, 1926.

The SUN Now FURTHER OFF.-The
earth is now at about its greatest dis
lance from the sun, and although we
receive the most heat per day at the
time of the summer solstice, the dis
lance we are from the sun at that time
is considerably in excess Of our dis
.ance from that body in December, or
when in perihelion, as it is called. The
summer solstice is not, however, the
hottest time of the summer, says the
New York Times, for the obvious reas-
on that the weather is then all the
time getting hotter, and the maximum
will very naturally not be reached uu-
Ill the increases, that is, not until the
amount of heat lost in the night equals
that stored up by day.
If the earth's surface threw OFT the
same amount of heat hourly, whether
it were hot or cold, then this maximum
would not come until the autumnal
equinox. This, however, is not the case.
The soil loses heat faster when warm
than it does when cold, the loss being
nearly proportional to the difference
between the temperature of the soil
and that of surrounding space. From
this we can see why the time of max
imum temperature comes with us be-
tween the close of July and first part of
August. For similar reasons the min
imum temperature of winter occurs
about half way between the winter sol
stice and the vernal equinox. We
know from experience that "Old Prob"
does not give US the kind of weather
he indicates as probable, and we also
know that our weather is not entirely
made on the spot where it is used, but
is affected by winds and currents that
come from great distances so that
the actual time of the maximum tenn
perature cannot be determined by any
mere astronomical considerations, but
varies considerably from year to year.
The ALUMNI SHOULD BE PREFER
RED.-If we expect to build up our
State educational institutions, then we
must follow the example set by the
great colleges, of giving the members
of their alumni the preference, all 9TH

Military Institute, for example, made
by the ordering of Lieut.. Rochenbach

officer, and while he is not in the race
for the place, we hope some of his
friends will place his name before the
Board of Visitors. 1t is no use of the
State educating her own young men
for the benefit of other States when she
can make use of them in her own in
stitutions.-&aunton Vimdicator.

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE.
This Time North of Grantsyi11e and
of SiIVer-Lead Ores.

Resident Agent Wilson of the Great
Western Manufacturing company, was a
very happy man yesterday, the cause be-
ing the receipt of important advices from
a property which he has been working for
some time past, located about twenty
miles north of the city of Grantsville.
These advices were to the effect that the
vein which has been followed from the
surface is rapidly widening out and the
grade of the ores coming in is improving
with every foot OF development work
done. Samples of the ore from the bottom
OF the shaft, which is only twelve feet
down, were sent in and during the day
Mr.. Wilson had them assayed. The aver
age was 20 per cent lead and 90 ounces in
silver, with a fair showing of gold. At
present the vein is three feet in width and
experts pronounce the galena the most
desirable ever brought to this city, it
being very fine grained and so heavy in
lead.
This property is located in an entirely
new district and has been opened by
Messrs. Woodland and Lewis, who were
grubstaked by Mr.. Wilson and are. Of
course, owners in the mine. They have
located for themselves and Mr.. Wilson a
distance of 5000 feet on the vein and pro-
pose opening up the properties in an ex-
tensiye manner. Arrangements are being
made for the shipment of some of the
ores to the smelters The wagon haul
will cost $3.50 per ton to the halfway
house

GOVERNOR EVANS VIEWS.
No Treason in South Carolina-Just
What They Mean.


New York, May 1.-THE World mas
received the following from Governor
Evans. of South Carolina:
There is no treason in South caro-
lima. We are in the Union and to stay.
We claim the right as sovereign
state to protest against any effort py
the judges of the United States court
to centralize this government and de-
stroy our national and state consttu-
lions.
I'VE will obey the DEGREES of the
court, but will exercise every right
guaranteed American citizens for the
preservation of our liberties. The pr1n-
ciple we are lighting for, the right OF
local self-government, is as dear TO
New York as it is to South Carolina,
and cannot be destroyed here without
ultimately being destroyed in the
Union.
1.-THE attempt to nulify our laws for
political purposes under the pretense
of conflicts with the constitution of the
United States arouses the righteous
Indignation of our people. We conf
IDENTIFY rely upon the supreme court
and will abide by its decision.
I'VE redeemed our state from negro
domination and anarchyin 1876 in spite
of Grants bayonets, restoring order,
peace and prosperity, and will preserve
our civilization by lawful methods if
allowed, but we will preserve.

NO CAUSE FOR 1T.
Alleged Mystery in the Case of Sid
ney Smith Explained

San Francisco. May 1s-Advices
have been received here from Chey-
enne, Wyo., in regard to the circum-
stances of the death of Sidney Smith,
at Rawlins, on April 81 last, concern
ing which there seemed TO have been
some conflict of information at the
time. Smith was a passenger on d
west-bound Union Pacific train. which
reached Rawlins on April &c, and his
death occurred the following day.
His remains reached Oakland, Cali
fornia, on May 7th, and, from some
information which his friends there
claim to have received from Union Pa
cific officials at Ogden, it was at first
supposed that he had been killed on
the train by accident. If such Informal
ton was sent to Oakland it was evil
IDENTIFY due to some clerical error in re-
porting the death from Rawlins to
Ogden and again from Ogden to Oak
land. as there was no cause for any
mystery in the case.
The correct circumstances were as
follows: When the train on which
Smith was a passenger pulled into
Rawlins Smith jumped through the
coach window and ran towards the
town. He was caught and for safety
placed in the county Jail. DR.. Maghee,
the Union Pacific's surgeon at Rawlins.
was notified and visited the man. He
prescribed for him and said that he
would probably be able to continue his
journey in the course of three or four
days. On the following morning Smith
was found in his cell, having
strangled himself with his suspenders.
An inquest was held and the verdict
of the coroner's jury was that Smith
had met his death at his own hands
while laboring under a fit of insanity.

New York, May ia special to a

Private Secretary Thurber was seen
by a reporter last night. Asked if he
was too busy to be interviewed, he
replied:
mo, L am not. I just want to be
interviewed. / want to stop this nom
sense of people who are blessed with
twins, triplets and bankruptcies writ
ing to the president that they nave
named their youngsters after his fam
lily and asking for money. L have mad
forty-two letters of that kind in the
last twelve hours. I have denied over
and over again that story that $oOO
was sent to the father of trlplets IN
Indiana, but the story is still belleVed
and we are being deluged with beg
ging letters from all over the coun-
try. No attention will be PAID 10

Mr.. Thurber then vigorously tore
up two score or more epistles an
nouncing that the population OF GER

and bounds.
THAT $500 story" continued the
private secretary, has led one man
to announce that he is the father or

twins and triplets mentioned in these
forty-two letters, but only one case OF

names from the presidents family,
but is a little at loss TO get the

EXTENDING IT'S BUSINESS.

Provo Wooden Mills Company In
yading Outside Territory.
For the purpose of extending the
scope Of dts business the Provo Wooden
Mills company now has active agents
in both the east and the northwest and
some very encoura eing reports are be-
ing received from them. The people
of the entire west seem to have caught
onto the fact that the cloth and Hosiery
turned out by the Utah mills are the
equal of any imported and in conse-
Quence their patronage is being eX-
tended to the local concerns. All of the
agents in the field are loaded to the
handle with samples and patriotism
and they are doing a. good work in the
enlarging of the field of the Provo
company. Should the orders. come in
with sufficient volume III is the inten-
ton of the management of the COM
pany to continue the operations at the
Deseret mills during the remainder OF
the year.
Just row both the Provo and the
Deseret plants are turning out some OF
the finest home manufactured goods
ever shown to the purchasing publie
and the latter nave shown their ap-
probation of the enterprise of the COM
pany by increasing it's business TO some
extent.
Down at the Provo mills everything
is being operated at full force, while
at the Deseret the weaving and finish
ing departments are the only ones be-
ing worked. The company is still in
the market for the purchase of woods
and is continually adding to it's supply

1BEx SHELTER CLOSED DOWN.
Lack of Lead Ores Said to BE the
Only Cause.

Only Cause.
Having exhausted the supply Of
lead ores on the dump and in the bins,
the hex smelter at bennington has
ceased operations for a few days and
the furnace is now cold. Receiver
Humphreys is back from the south and
yesterday announced that he had con-
tracted with the Horn Silver for suf-
ficient lead ores to enable him to
make a general clear-up of the silicious
stuff on hand, and the delivery of the
southern ores and concentrates will
probably commence on Saturday.
Should this be the case the smelter
will be blown in on Sunday or Monday.
Another carload of bullion valued at
1,600, was sold to the Omaha & Grant
yesterday and two carloads of matte
came up from the south yesterday
evening.
Some days ago it was confidently an
nounced by a contemporary that a
leak had been discovered in the bottom
of the Smelter and that something like
$4,000 worth of bullion had been
found in the masonry and ground
around the furnace. An investigation
has proven this statement to be incor
rect, there having been no leak in the
furnace. Mr.. Humphreys states. how
ever. that there has been a. metallurgi-
cal loss in the treatment of the ores
and concentrates. This defect he states
he can remedy, or. in fact. has already
remeCied
