LITTLE DOUBT THAT DIR. MILLS
PAUGH WILL RESIGN.
o., Anxious to Secure His
Services = Principal Clark and
President Kerr Mentioned As Pos
sible Successors.

Considerable speculation is rife rela-
tive to a successor of superintendent
Millspaugh should that gentleman de-
eide to accept the position that has
been rendered him in the east 1t is
known that an acquaintance of DR.. T.
c. Tiff wrote on fin Dayton, Ohio,
inquiring as to Dr. Millspaugh's fit
ness for a position at the head of a
large system, a very eulogistic reply
being given. The board of education
at Dayton then rendered him the posi-
ton and the doctor took a trip there
before deciding to accept the invita-
ton. What his decision will be is not
yet known, as DR.. Millspaugh will not
return until next week. Among names
mentioned as a possible successor are
Principal Clark Of the High school and

BOARD OF CONTROL.
A most practical and timely proposal
is that the supervision, protection ana
conservation of the waters user for IL
rieation in the state should be vested In
\ state board of control composed OF a
state engineer and representative irri-
s,ators from all sections of the state This
recommendation is made GsO because IN
der the present method OF using water
for irrigation in the exact order OF set
Element known as the privlty OF r'Gts
system. appropriations have extended be-
yond the private uses. involving an injus-
lice to subsequent users; t2ndl because
laxity in the administration OF the law
OF privity of rights has encouraged the
accumulation of large SURPRISES or
water for the purpose of sale, as well as
waste IN the use of water The
author believes that a state board
of control, by refusing to recognize
the validity OF water sales, could destroy
the practice of making water a specula-
tive commodity, and. as sequel, main
tain the undivided ownership of land and
wafer The state board of control in
wyoming has corrected practically all
abuses connected with the maladministra-
ton of water laws and has conferred in
asthma BILE benefits on the state.
Mr. Brough complains that the irrigat-
ors of Utah. especially those engaged in
fri1it- raising are exploited of their Just
earnings by the commission merchants
east who charge exorbiIant sums for
The marketing of the fruit. AS a remedy
for the evil he proposes cooperation
among the growers themselves In ship
ming and marketing. by which the dealer
would be made identical with the grower
and the growers with the dealer without
fne application of the principle of CO.
operation, the cornerstone of the. Mormon
commonwealth.
The very timely suggestion by Prof For
tier as to the need for more accurate
measuring devices is also emphasized and
an appropriation for this purpose by the
next legislature is advocated.

It is a very easy matter to figure
out profits at the outset of almost
any undertaking, as doubtless owners
OF saw mills ard hotel keepers can
testify. Even cotton growing can be
demonstrated as a profitable bu:i-
ness, but, when practical vertical
tion is attempted in the field, there is
found to be vast difference between
figures and facts. But the calcula-
tions, credited by the Dallas News,
to a Washington city authority, ap-
pear feasible and able to stand the
test CT practical demo nstration. He
eimates the number Of farms in
the South, east of the Mississippi
river, at 1,313,0 90, and contends that
if each farmer thereon would edd a
COW, sheep and hog each year to
the stock, he would be surprised at
the rapid progress he was making
on the road to wealth and available
assets. The increase the first year
would amount to nearly S4,oO0,0O0.

I am very pleased to state that
since I took the agency of Chamber
lain's medicines the sale has been
very large, more especially OF the
Cough Remedy. In two years l
have sold more of this particular
remedy than of all other makes for
the previous five years. As to its
efficacy, I have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results
they have received from it, and Know
it's value from the use of it in my
own household. It is so pleasant to
take that we have to place the bottle

a Sly Dodge.

A comic actor who had been en-
gagged to entertain q family party,
proposed, at the conclusion of the
performance, little game ofhis own.
Each of the company, himself includ-
ed, was to stake half a dollar, and
the pool would be taken by the per
son who possessed the most OF the
articles which he (the comediap)
would inquire for. % his assurance
that he would take no mean adyan-
tage, but run the same ,isk as
the rest, ell the members of the
party consented, and between
SIS and 500 were soon laid upon the
table. The actor added his mark to
the pile with cunning smile, and
then said:
''Now, which OF you ladies' and
gentlemen have the greatest number
of false teeth?"
Deathlike stiffness for the space OF
one minute, then burst oflaughter,
both hearty and, in some cases,
forced.
Il have three,' continu ed the
actor. "Who has got more?'
The comedian took the pool.
