SHEEP EAR ANT
Messrs. Hobson and HiIger Have Purchased Q
Plant and VIII Operate Il During the
Coming Shearin1 Season.

David Hilger informs us that he and 5. S.
Hobson have completed arrangements for the
operation of a latest improved woolsey sheep
shearing plant, of Is shears capacity, on the Fit.
Maginnis reserve the coming season. The
land has been sub-leased from Ernest Kies
and includes two sections of the reserve. being
the land on which the buildings are located.
They have also purchased from the state the
old commissary warehouse and one of the cav
airy atables. one of which will accommodate
the plant and the otner provIoe sned room.
Contracts have already been entered into
with sheep men of the county for the shearing
of $1,000 sheep this season. The plant will be
operated by a gasoline engine and in charge of
a superintendent furnished by the manufac-
turers for the first season. The use of this i'm
proved appliance for shearing will in no way
lessen the profits of local shearers, but will
rather be to their benefit, for none but local
shearers will be engaged while heretofore
crews from California and the west have been
largely employed in this county. Each
shearer will receive the same price per fleece as
heretofore paid. the advantages to the wool
grower being in the greater amount of wool Sc
cured from the sheep and its superior condi-
ton for marketing, as well as a great saving in
damage to the sheep themselves.
While Messrs. Hilger and Hobson are the
prime movers in the scheme, other growers
who %patronize the plant will purchase stock.
and thereby become personally interested in
its management.and in the profits acquired.
All will be in readiness for the opening of the
season June LIST.

Congressman Hartman, the ban
tam statesman, who misrepresents
a large constituency ut the national
capital. has got himself interviewed,
being too infinitesimal to get the
speakers eye. He says President
Mckinley is controlled in the present
crisis by the bondholders and the
money power" Every time the
little demagogue opens his mouth ii
ia for home consumption. His in
sipid vaporings have no effect
in Washington than the buzz OF a
blue-bottled fly. He is one OF pig
mics of the house, who grows larger
the further one gets away from the
national capital. He il looked upon
as one who deserted the interests
of one of the chief industries of his
state and Joined the Bryan and Teller
crowd in order to retain his seat in
congress. He is powerless to do
anything for silver and the day has
passed when he could have done any
thing for wool. He simply draws his
salary and occupies a seat on the Dem.
ocratic side of the house where he
belongs.

War at Hand.

At this writing diplomacy seems to
be at an end between this country
and Spain. Thelatter has insolently
rejected every proposal of this gov
eminent that would lead 20 a peace
full settlement of the vital questions
at issue and they must be settled at
the lannon's mouth. SPANS reply
to the findings of the court OF inquiry
over the destruction of the Maine, is
said to be the most cold-blooded
document ever received at the state
department. This reply and other
correspondence is now before con-
gress accompanied by a message
from the president. The dispatches
say the president and all branches of
the government are now in harmony
as to the next steps to be taken.
Resolutions declaring for the indie
pendence of Cuba will undoubtedly
be passed unanimously by both
houses of congress and possibly a
declaration of war will be made,
though the recognition of independ-
ence alone would mean the same
thing. Of course, the destruction of
the Maine and her gallant crew will
figure also az a just aus for armed
intervention.
A war even of short duration
means the loss OF many precious
lives and the destruction of valuable
property, but the horrors of Spanish
brutality can no longer be tolerated.
The suffering in Cuba must be
brought to an end. There can be no
doubt as to the ultimate result on
land and sea. If America has any
thing to be proud of it is her
| victories on the water. That we
still have the counterparts of
Decatuer, Paul Jones, Perry, Wins
low and Farigut, there is no doubt
but opportunities will demonstrate.
President Mckinley is a man OF
peace. He knows something of the
horrors of war and If he could avert
the present crisis with honor to him
self and the country he would do SO.
To that end he has labored patient
ly and earnestly but war seems in

rotary Seward had foolishly let the
remark reach the public from him
that the war would be closed in
ninety days, and the most was made
out of this lOng-past-due promise.
Far from the real seat of war, tens

doubt of their ability to manage the
war in better shape than those who
were handling it. The ''on-to-Rich-

There is no one in Washington ex-

Partisans Not Patriots.

1t Ia amusing II not disgusting to
not the attitude and u~tterances of
some of the Democratic papers of
this state as regards the action OF
President Mckinley with reference to
the present crisis. Such remarks as,
For one hour of Grant in the White
House, and ''Oh, for a Lincoln just
now" are seen i'm their columns. Do
these censorious Pharisees imagine
that the American people have for
gotten how basely both Lincoln and
Grant were abused by the Demo-
cratic press all through their official
life. From the day Abraham Lin
coin took office until the hour of his
death he was the centre of abuse for
the Democratic press of the United
States. He was called everything
that was admissible in the columns
OF the organs of that party, and that
means a great deal. Not only the
press but the leading politicians OF
the party Joined in the chourus of de-
traction and vilification. The same
will also apply to General Grant
with almost equal exactness.
Even while winning victories for the
union in rapid succession, he was
called a drunken sot" and "a crea-
ture of accident" Now these same
brazen photographers or their lineal
descendants are singing the praises
of these great men and abusing
President Mckinley, who, when n
boy of seventeen took his musket
and went to the front to- defend the
union against the Vaccinations of
his present defamers. And he should
absorb his courage, firmness and
patriotism from such rs these?
Never! Time and history will prove
the wisdom of his course, and like all
Republican presidents, apparently,
his praises will be sung after he has
passed from the world of action.
There is no man i'll the country more
anxious to see Cuba free and the loss
avenged than President Mckinley,
but there is no other man who has
the same responsibility. That con-
gress is impatient as well as the peo-
pie, is true, but that Ia not an un.
ssual thing in this country. The
Anaconda Standard, which is the
fairest of the Democratic press OF
this state, in d recent editorial states

the clothes that will wear like buckskin.

them either. We can clothe them to perfection

Hard Plant tn XIII.

There is a plant in Jamaica called the
life plant, because it is almost impos-
sible to kill it. When q leaf is cut of
and hung up by a string it sends out
ture from the air, and begins to grow
new caves Even when pressed and
packed away by a botanist it has been
known to outgrow the leaves of the
book in which it was placed. The only
way to kill it is by the heat of a hot
iron or of boiling water.-Chicago

Pleased With the Star.

E. w. Wilson, one of Salt Lakes
prominent business men, who has just
returned from a visit to the Star mine,
in Pine canyon, Tooele county, is quite
enthusiastic over the appearance and
condition of this gold property and
prospective dividend-payer, and he
states that in the various workings of
the mine large bodies of good teaching
ore are exposed, the outlook for the flu
ture of the enterprise being first class
in every respect, and very encouraging,
to say the least.
Mr.. Wilson also stated that the COM
pany had just put the finishing touches
TO the new plant with which to reduce
the ore into gold cyanides, the mill be-
ing model of convenience and a
monument to the builder; it being the
expectation that the works will be
started up today, Metallurgist Will Orr
being on the ground for that purpose,
the initial run having been delayed for
day or two, owing to the non-arrival
of necessary material.
The Star mine, while of humble or
igin, and not having had the advantage
Of brass band attachments when her
aided into the glare of publicity, is
still proposition of more than usual
merit, according to all reports from
parties who have visited the property.
but it is believed that in the near flu
ture it will enrich those who are back
of the enterprise, and also drop into
line as another of Utah's dividend
payers.
