solve a great problem and transform a
great commonwealth. The superstitious
might find strange suggestions in the
odd numbers-45 years of territorial life
to become the forty-ffth state, 8 appli-
cations to secure admission, Is other
new states coming in ahead and ter
ritories claiming to be fit for admission.
Equally suggestive is the anomalous fact
that when the original Utah was split
down the middle and the western half
of the Great basin was rushed into the
Union as the state of Nevada our most
farseeing statesmen expected that it
would grow rapidly, and, by successive
additions, be able to absorb and control
Mormon Utah, whereas it is the only
American commonwealth which is de-
clining in wealth and population. On
the eastern side of the Great basin many
mountain streams, fed all summer by
the immense icebergs and snowdrifts in
the Wasatch mountains, create broad,
fertile valleys among the foothills and
run far out into the basin before being
lost in ''sinks'' and salt marshes. On
the western side the few streams scarce
" issue from the hills before they are
lost in the loose red earth, and scientists
have declared that if the Ohio river
were turned into the northwest corner
of the Great basin not a drop of it
would reach the Colorado, so drying is
the air and so absorbing the earth. With
our present knowledge it is not possible
to see how Nevada can sustain itself as
state.
When the 10 apostles and 1000 Nor
mon pioneers crossed the Mississippi on
the ice in February, 1916, and started
on their hard journey, there were not,
save in Texas, 30, 900 white Americans
in all the country west Of the Council
Bluffs meridian. All the preceding win
ter every available room in Nauvoo,
evenNthe great temple, had been turned
into a workshop. Green timber had been
boiled in brine to hasten its seasoning.
Twelve thousand wagons were ready
when the first party started, and others
followed as rapidly as they could be or
ganized until, by the LIST of May, 16, 600
Mormons were on the way. The ad-
vance parties suffered terribly. "All

NASHVILLE, Jan. 1.-THE board of

next summer, are busily preparing for
the event.
1t may surprise many readers to know
that Tennessee is emphatically an Amer
lean state. OF its 100000 citizens only
10000 are foreign born. This eclipses
the record of any other state or territory
outside of Dixie. The early settlers of
the state came from Virginia, the Caro-
linas and Georgia. The later ones came
from the central, middle and even east
ern states. Many brought with them
books, clocks, weapons and heirlooms of
all sorts. Tens of thousands of these
have been treasured by the descendants
of the settlers.
Hundreds were exhibited at Atlanta,
but these were as nothing compared
with what had not been used These

SALT LAKE CITY. Jan. 15.-Utah is

childhood in our history, 40 years, the
commonwealth founded by the exiles

sisterhood. Nine times have the c@ui-

WHY CALL IT POPULAR ?

Now that the Morgan syndicate has
been dissolved, what has the country
gained. 1t has merely exchanged one
set of bankers and bond brokers for
another. The bonds will reach the same
resting place finally, though possibly by
a different and slightly more circuitous
route.
Under the present arrangement the
bond issue is heralded as a popular loan,
but how is it popular ? Who, outside of
the bankers has gold to invest in govern
ment bonds or even greenbacks with
which to buy the gold from the treasury.
True, Mr.. Carlisle has offered every
facility for obtaining the gold from the
treasury by permitting the payment for
the bonds to be made in installments.
The purchaser of $1,eoo. 900 in bonds
needs to handle but 5000, 600 in gold,
since he is permitted to pay in 20 per
cent of his subscription at time. Hav-

Eastern Capitalists Send p Man TO
Examine Kansas Salt Fields.
Max E. Smidt civil engineer repre-
senting eastern capitalists stopped off in
Topeka yesterday on his return from
Central Kansas, where he went about q
week ago for the purpose of consulting
Mr.. G. w. Evans of this city in regard
TO deposits of crystal rock salt in the
central portion of the state.
Mr.. Evans was the first man to make a
geological survey of the salt deposits in
this state, and located the first boring
machine in the salt field of Central Kan
sas. He consequently possesses as much
knowledge on this subject as any other
man in Kansas.
Mr.. Smidt was favorably impressed
with the report made by Mr.. Evans and
will probably return to Kansas soon for
the purpose of making further investi-
cations.

THERE is little likelihood of any
marked improvement in the freight traffic
of Kansas railroads which is reported
as in an unusually depressed condition,
until there is an advance in the eastern
grain market. There is little encour-
agsment for shippers at present prices
and there is also little prospect of i'm
provement in the present unsettled con-
dition of the affairs of the treasury. The
inaction of congress is little short of
criminal negligence. Why should the
business of the country be permitted to
suffer while the peoples paid representa-
tives play at politics?

five times, when he will have his million
dollars in bonds and the treasury will

1t will be readily seen that it will be
impossible for ybody outside of the
the cities where the sub-treasuries are
located to ship gold, pay the expense
thereof and compete in an arrangement
of this kind. even if they had the gold.

Usually when the players are of equal

playing a single game of chess against one

partner any assistance in his power at a
critical time, and he is expected to be on
the lookout for emergencies. When one
player is exceptionally strong, and his

THE Democratic party will act on the
defensive, as is evidenced by the plac-

at the late date of July Z, nearly a month
after the Republican nomination will
have been made. The late date is ap-
parently a victory for the silver men and
may result in the nomination of a free
silver candidate without split in the

PARTNERSHIP CHESS PLAYING.
The Double Came and How -Four Men
May Enjoy 1t.

Double chess is a partnership game
adapted for four players. The board used
has 1872 squares and is of a shape similar
to that shown in the accompanying dia-
gram. The players are grouped as in the
game of whist, and each manipulates a
set of men. In other words, two complete
sets of men-two black and two white
are used in conducting the game. The
chessmen are placed in position the same
as in single chess, with the exception that
all queens are placed to the right of their
respective kings.
Pawns are redeemable, but must turn
either to the right or left on reaching some
one of the eight center squares, and re-
