Everything has been quiet with the
ForeSters of America the past week.
The several courts had their usual
meetings, but on account of the heat
very little was done.
The committees in charge of the
Forester excursion, are getting ar
engagements fairly under way and will
commence active work next week.
The advertising matter is partially
out and will be distributed all over
the territory this week.
4 fine programme IS being pre-
pared and a long list of prizes Will
be offered for the edificatiOn of the
public. Baseball. swimming and BIZ
cycle races will be features of the
dav. for which q large list of prizes
will he offered The old time creased
mig and creased pole will also be
features of amusement
The members of Viola Circle gave q
free ball and concert TO their trleIq 1 ;
This evening, at their hall III the Odd
EelloIvs' temple All Foresters and
thair friends are invited. a nice pro-
eramme has been prepared.
The mysteries, the practice OF de-
gree work, whether real or imaginary
are. after all, the most essential fea-
tures of secret orders. What may be
The nurpose of a secret order, whether
snciahilitv. charity or assistance, these
are classified as events; but the means
that we may employ of initiating a
candidate into our sacred circle serve
as symbolic representations Of the
Grand teachings of the order.
In these degrees there are no meth
ODDS employed that do not commend
themselves to all upright, sensible
honest men. No one is degraded
nothing IS done that could wound the
feelings of the most sensitive man. Ii
there be any persons who cannot en-
dure the symbolisms of degree work
it is better for them not TO seek tc
nenetrate what lies within the inner
temples, but to stand outside the por-
tails and remain surrounded by
cold world where they belong.
The ancient practices of the Egypt
ians. the Knight Tenlplars. and the
Knights of Malta, and others, do not
have any particular bearing upon the
modern degrees of secret societies
There was not an organization Of any
character that did not test initiates
before entering into full fellowship
Many of the ancient customs are very
beautiful and all that has been added
is adopted only after careful study and
mature elaboration. No one can re-
fleet over the work of the degrees
without feeling that they are the life
and enjoyment OF the order. 1t is
indeed only as we advance in these
that we reach primary truth.-utah

The little Sanpete valley road has
been for the past year and a half
undergoing a grinding process from
the other roads. and i'll way to
materially decrease its gross earnings.
This comes from the fact that 1t has
been and is now now hauling freight
for nothing to certain points on It's
line. For instance, consignments OF
freight from Salt Lake destined to
AIanti and Ephraim. routed from here
over the Union Pacific and Sanpete
Valley roads, are hauled dead head
over the little road to these points
This comes from there being competl-
tive points on the Rio Grande vest
ern. The Union Pacific takes only
* part of the hlui, but what IS ali IN
( yortant IL takes AL OF the charges
4 every cent. This is no more nor no
cess than a game OF freeze out ana
the little road has naught Tor It's maui
but the experience, a poor return 1Of
the wear and tea of track, rolling
stock and salaries paid its employees
in service.
The justice of such measure is not
perceptibl as a common carrier IS
entitled to its percentage of traffic
handled, ard yet such is the case
the big road scoops in every cent OF the
freight charges. It's clear case OF
big fish eat little fish.
1t has been stated that the Sanpete
Valley road has been offered for sale
to the Rio Grande Western for GER
tain sums of money, but Colonel Dodge
did not choose to avail himself Of
such offer, if il was ever made. Be
that as it may, it is evident that the
thumb screws of subsection have been
applied to test the powers Of the little
roads endurance. and time viii dis
cSse the effects of such procedure.

OF President Brubeck from London

Railroad Presidents ScheTling.
The railway presidents are now
considering the plan of rev0luuonizing
presen: methods, by doing away en-
tirely rith costly traffic associations
and getting down to single commit
tee for the preservation of rates. They
believe in forming a clearing house
through which the business would
pass. and then do away with the heavy
work of auditing accounts as now
practiced A general committee Of
three would be appointed to report
direct to the president. and every sec
ton would have representative in
the larger communities. 1t is proposed
in the new scheme to do away with
nearly all the soliciting agents, as
Een as high priced association men,
MO draw their salaries regularly, but
40 not protest or maintain rates.

The negotiations now on looking to

hostile sentiment in Montana, to the
end that representative men from all

more effective the constitutional pro-

The origin of the blaze is unknown,
although it is thought tramps were the
cause. The department responded
promptly, but the distance was too
great to be covered in time to do any
good. The loss is in the neighborhood
of $500.
The prompt action of Jack May
saved several of the adjoining build
ings. He worked industriously with a

had already caught fire with such good
effect that the flames were prevented
from spreading further.
