CnY ESTIMATES OF WORK.


The NEWS would suggest to m en-
bers Of the Salt Lake City admins
traiion that a little more care Is neces.
sery on their part to sec that estimates
OF intended improvements come q
little nearer the reasonable cost there.
Of than has been the case OF late. II
has got to be 90 now TINT when an
estimate is submitted OF my proposed
work, there seems to be an utter reck-
lessness concerning the accuracy Of
figures In their relation to the actual
outlay that Will be required before the
Job Is completed. Naturally, when the
public notes this discrepancy, the
conclusion arrived Mt is that the max
Ing OF preliminary estimates on work
Is merely trick to deceive the people;
and come there are who couple the
conclusion with n conviction that the
deceit ia a covering Of come crooked
work.
1t Is probably the case that most or
all OF these erroneous estimates are
not connected with any schemes Of
"rake.ofl," etc., but are tho outcome Of
somebody's guessing, and their adop-
ton has been on the assurance given
by couloilmen to fellow.mem.
beers that the work ia neces-
sary and the figures are pretty
near the mark. Indeed, we could
name some instances where this
has been the case. But 1t Is not to the
credit Of the cOuncilmep that 1t should
be 30. For their own benefit, as well
% the puollc's, they should insist ON
accuracy In these esiimAtet; ana do SO
II necessary by refusing to allow any.
thing extra TO any department which
exceeds the figures given.
As an illustration OF how far the
figures at the beginning and enLing Of
a job sometimes differ from each other,
may be cited an Improvement now
going ON on North Temple street, be-
tween Sixth and Eighth West, In the
widening OF the aqueduct. 1t was
stated that the whole Job would
cos. about $500. Now that 1t
Ia nearing completion, the an
nouncement comes that the
expense OF the work win exceed 81 900.
We do not raise any question as 10 the
necessity OF the change being made ia
the aqueauct, or rs TO the honesty Of
the way the work IL done. But we do
insist that the difference between the
estimated and the actual cost throws a
cloud on the business competency OF
the Council, If not on its integrity.
We use THE small illustration as an in.
dication of how great n wrong can
come in some OF the larger transac-
lions now under consideration. The
lesson to be drawn Is obvious.

When Nevada passed lay allow

the general sentiment OF the public ia
this country said ii was disgrace to
the state; and go it was. But this
same public In every state In the
Union displayed as much interest In
the fight when 1t actually came on as
did the NevadanE, ana go placed Itself
on the same level. Hence consistency
would suggest that the public which
desires to be thought above approving
prize fights, yet displays an ali
normal eagerness to mentally devour
details thereof, should eliminate the
beam In It's own optic ere 1t searches
for the mote in the sagebrushtr's eye.
The wey in which some preachers AMI

"bow it went" shows that there Ia
not as much difference In the mental
makeup Of all members OF thos
classes as there would seem 10 be

suggests that there 10 just q little j.

particlpators therein are OF no greater

Madrid, Oct. 26.-In the special note
to Minister Woodford, the government
declares that Spain has done all in her
power to end the war in Cuba, and cites
the many sacrifices which have been
made by the nation, the number Of
troops sent to Cuba, and the reforms
which are carried out on the island,
which are fully described.

that "Spain will not admit the right
OF any foreign power to interfere in any
of her AFFAIRS

announcement that the reply of the
Spanish government to the United
States, presented to General Woodford,
the American minister at Madrid, de-
clares that, if the United States does
rot stop the sailing Of filibustering ex-
petitions from American ports, Spain
will re-establish the right to search yes

ance TO the archaeologist. II IL known
as the Seton Karr contribution, having
boon discovefed by this Englishman in
Somaliiand, on the eastern coast of Al
RIGA. Tho implements we're purchased
from the discoverer by the Smithsonian
Institution. There are about 80 pieces
in the collection. made OF flint, of our
tide, and ranging in size from an inch or
SO in length to half foot, some
weighing several pounds. The objects
are supposed to be spear heads, battle
axes and wedges, truncheons. blud-
geons or whatever they may be termed.
The discoverer had this to say on the
subject Of his find and the locality
where the objects were unearthed:
Certain landmarks as to the four
rivers mentioned in Genesis led me
think that the Garden Of Eden, if it
ever existed, may have been here, and
that these very tools had been made
and used by Adam and his numerous
descendants. At any rate, my diseov-
cries in Egypt and Somaliland lead me
to the idea that mans original home,
or the place where he was gradually
evolved, must have been in Africa, or
at least, in a tropical land, where
clothes were unnecessary and food plen-
tiful to hand"

FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT
Ancient Document Found in Recently
Unearthed Papyri.

Ancient Document Found in Recently
Unearthed Papyri.
Denver. Oct 27.-Dr. Cobern, pastor
of Trinity Methodist church, who has
recently returned from England, tells
Of wonderful papyri discovered last
January, and gives out information
which is new to the world. This is
that in the logia, which was unearthed
by Messrs. Grennfel and Hunt under
the direction of DR.. Flinders Petrie, of
Oxford university, last January, there
was found beside the notebook leaf,
containing what purported to be the
sayings of Jesus Christ, leaf from the
New Testament. The leaf contained
nearly the whole of the first chapter of
Matthew, and was written exactly the
same as our Greek testament of today.
DR.. Cobern says that this is our earl
lest record of the Bible. and that in the
81 baskets of papyri that were taken
out there may be found copy of the
scriptures. He also points out what
blow to infdelism it might be, and
what strengthening Of the Christian
cause. He says there is no doubt Of
the genuineness of these findings; that
such critics AS Professor Harmack and
Thompson have passed upon them and
declare that they could not have been
written later than 200 A. D.

Quien Sabe-who know is . phrase in

and helps over many, many difficulties 1t
is expressive. What the weather may De
the coming winter, who knows? It may
be snowy, wet, stormy, cold, freezing, and
full of sickness and pain. who knows!
Some of us today, hale and hearty, may
lie on beds of torture, or hobble about on
clutches, who knows? Before the autumn
merges into winter many may have symP,,
toms of approaching trouble, of the old
rheumatism coming on, or of first attacks
begun; who knows? That's a conundrum.
But there is one thing everybody knows,
the best thing to do is to be ready for the
weather coming and to take hold of what
is. EVERYBODY knows what is best. With
st. Jacobs Oil in the house, everybody
knows they have sure cure for rheuma-
tism, acute or chronic. It is likewise
known that in any stage of it, the great
remedy does its work of cure perfectly. II
we suffer, we need not ask who knows,
when it is so well known what is best.
