The Helpless Lord Chancellor.

The responsible office of chairman or president of legislative body is one that generally carries with it both pow CTS and privileges. There are, however, exceptions to the rule. In the British house of lords it is not the lord chancel- Tor but the whole house that is addressed as My lords.
 The speaker is the sole judge of all questions of order in the house of con- mons. In the house of lords such mat ters, when there is conflict of opinion, are decided by the whole house and not by the lord chancellor.
 If several members of the house of commons rise simultaneously to take part in a debate, the speaker decides who shall speak first, but if two or more peers rise together in the house of lords the lord chancellor cannot decide who shall first be heard. It is the voice of the house that determines.
 Happily etiquette is so strong in the gilded chamber that it rarely happens when the house by cries expresses its desire to hear one of the contending peers that the others do not give way. J scene over the question whether peer who had risen from the front Tory bench should be heard in preference to a peer who had risen from the front Liberal bench.
 Neither noble lord would give way, and to bring the curious situation to an end Earl Granville moved that the Lib eral peer be heard. The house divided on the question and decided by big ma jority that the Tory peer should be heard first.
 It is difficult for the average man to understand why the lord chancellor should not be able to exercise authority which is vested in the chairman of every public meeting, but there is a subtle constitutional point involved in this apparently ridiculous procedure
 All peers are equal as legislators in the house of lords No one of them can be vested with authority over the others. Therefore, when point of order is in- volved it is the whole house and not the lord chancellor that must decide the issue.--London Sunday Magazine

AUTUMN ON WIND RIVER.

The black pines stand high up the hills, The white snow sits their columns deep, While through the canyons riven cleft From there beyond the rose clouds sweep. Serene above their paling shapes
 One star hath wakened in the sky, And here in the gray world below
 Over the sage the wind blows by, Rides through the cottonwoods' ghost ranks And huns aloft sturdy tune Among tho river's tawny bluffs,
 Untenanted ns is the moon. Far heath the huge invading dusk
 Comes silence awful through the plain, But yonder horseman's heart is gay, And he goes singing, might and main.

John bern Finds Things In Splendid shape

Mr.. John Dern. one Of Utah's most
successful mining operators, returned

pose OF personally Inspecting certain
properties in which he is Interested.
Leaving this city, Mr.. Dern headed
stralEhtway for Tuscarora, whore the
Dexter company OF this city Is operat-
ing. He was met with open arms by
Messrs. Gray and Hasler OF the COM
pany. who extended to him every pos
sibie courtesy and showed him the en-
tire workings OF the property. Here Mr.
Dern found things first class In every
respect and viewed the company's new
plant with much qualification. When he
arrived at the mill they were running
20 stamps and had closed down the
Klncaid mills and were laying a pipe
line to the stamp mill, which. when
completed, Will give the company sufli-
Client water to run 81 stamps during the
day. together with the ornshers This
win give the company sufficient ore
to Keep the mill In continuous opera
ton night and day, while It will be
enabled to run 40 stamps ut night
as against SO in the day
time OF course, the supply OF water
will gradually diminish as dry weather
continues, and to overcome this diff
Guilty an electric plant will he installed
on the De Frieze Springs so "a to make
all allowances for the expected scarcity
and help the company to keep in con-
tinuous operation all the year round.
MIR. Dern says the mill and holsting
works are O X, while the mine
In charge of Mr.. Mcdonald
Is being handled In systematic man
ner and giving thorough satisfaction.
The gentleman was thoroughly
pleased with conditions as he found
them, and sees no reason why the
company should not be paying dlvi-
dends in comparatively short space
of time. The camp. says Mr.. Dern, Is
the scene of considerable activity.
THE NORTH MOUNTAIN.
From Tuscarora Mr.. Dern went to
Cherry Creek where the North Noun
tain company Is operating. a day or
two before his arrival there the ma
chlnery had all been set up under the
superntendency OF Mr.. j. w. Stevens.
formerly In the employ OF the Nam
moth company at Tintlc. The work
was done very satisfactorily and the
mill was started shortly after Mr.
Dcrn's arrival and Is now doing good
work. During his stay, Mr.. Dern and
Mr.. VIII S. Brown, the manager. made
arrangements to retain Mr.. Stevens as
superintendent while Mr.. Clarence Gar

In charge of the mine. just now the
mill is handling 30 tons of ore daily

200 MEN FROM UTAH.
They are Wanted a, La Granje, Oregon
10 Save The Sugar Beet Crop.
PROBABILITIES ARE THAT THEY WILL co.


Mr.. George Austin, agricultural
superintendent for the Utah sugar fac
tory at Lehi, paid II hurried visit to
Salt Lake today and then returned
home. He said he had received a tele-
gram from the Utah builders Of the
La Grande, Oregon, sugar factory.
which is now rapidly nearing compile
ton, that two hundred experienced beet
thinners were wanted from in and
about Lehi Immediately. The oregon
crop is well advanced and thinning
must be done at once, otherwise at
least half the crop of that entire sec
ton will be lost a syndicate OF Chi
nese laborers was to have done the
work, but for some reason negotiations
are off between them, and the La
Grande factory people and Utah has
therefore been appealed to as a last and
pressing resort to furnish the laborers
and save the crop.
Mr.. Austin wired back that he could
secure the requisite number of men:
that in fact he already had their names
and would send them on providing that
wages Were satisfactory and that the
men would be furnished transportation
going and coming. The wages wanted,
1t is understood, range from 81 to $3.50
per day, with board. It Is believed that
the oregon company will pay this
amount and that men Will be promptly
sent on. In Utah beet thinning is more
than half over. Fifteen hundred men
have been engaged In that work for
the Utah factory this year The local
crop of beets, by the way, is very heavy
this year and 1t Is roughly estimated
