to the aged and fee BILE, and looked particu-
larly after the interests of all children COM
mitted to his care. About three years ago

More or less apprehension is be-
ing felt at present by the Utah
Northern and Short Line train men
over the action of the company in
employing large number of new
brakemen-and green men at that
in Pocatello this week. 1t is pos
sible that the company expects a
largely increased business, bnt
from the fact that no additional
engine men have been employed it
can hardly be explained in that
manner, and it necessarily. there
fore, resolves itself down to one of
two things: Either cut in wages
of the brakemen is to be made and
the new men are to be nsed in case
of a strike, or else clean up Of
the old time brakemen is to be
made and the new men will be
put to work in their places.-Du-

Dear Sir:

Monlpeller, ldah0.
Dear Sir:
My experience with government
publications is that but very few al
them reach people who take any inter.
est in them. This is owing to a faulty
system of distribution. The publica,
tions sent ont by the government are Of
the greatest value to the people, and
would be appreciated, and accomplish a
great deal of good, if they were properly
distributed. They are all educational
in character. and in their intent and
scope. Some are of benefit to farmers,
others to miners; some treat on topics
Of interest to laborers, and others to
professional men; some are of value to
educators, and others to statisticians.
A congressman distributes these works
among his constituents to the best
OF his judgment, and with all the care
he can exercise, yet innumerable mis-
takes are made.
Any OF my constituents desiring these
works are invited to select the particuI
lar book or pamphlet they want and
communicate with me by mail. If any
one wants more than one publication,
they are required to designate their first
choice. II there is enough to go around
they will get what they ask for, other
wise the first selections will be sent.
The adoption of this plan will entail a
great deal of labor on my office, this 1
am willing to assume, provided, it works
successfully IN, thsdissheiAsmaiHM

Greek and Turkish Steamers Shut Off
From Crete-Neutral Zone to Be Es-
tablishcd-Where Is the Hero?

Canea, March 24.-An Austrian iron
clad today prevented Greek steamer
and a sailing vessel from running the
blockade.
Another attempt was made by the
Turks today to convey supply of pro-
visions to the forts at Malaxa, but the
essay resulted in failure, the Turks be-
ing driven off by the Christians who sur
round Malaxa and pursued them to the
environs of Suda, where the fire from
the Turkish warships compelled the Gre
tans to retreat. Another effort to sup
ply the forts with provisions will be
made tonight.
A strong force of Cretans, 1t is said,
are preparing for an attack upon Kis-
same, and the admirals commanding the
foreign warships have issued warning
similar to that contained in Admiral
Canevaros proclamation.
The towns people of Canea have been
greatly encouraged by the proclamation
issued yesterday by Admiral Canevaro,
the Italian officer, who commands the
combined fleets of the powers, enjoining
the Cretans and Greek troops not to
attack certain forts
