Senator Bucklin last night explained
his plans to a small gathering of friends
and single takers at Justice Mullins

formal one but it lacked nothing in en-
thusiasm. "The tina for reform in tax
alton in Colorado was never so near as

all over the state realize that something
must be done and they are willing to
give us trial They feel that the single
tax would not make matters worse and
as we are on the eve Of a campaign

NEARLY COMPLETE
Captain Kings Great Road about
Done-Patience and PerseUer- :,
0nce Has Been ReUartled.

A. G. Mahan came up over the King
toll road yesterday from Moab, Utah, and
is enthusiastic in his praise for the new
toll road about completed from Cisco to
Moab.
The road will be completed in about
week, and when completed will he one OF
the best adjuncts for trade ever built in
to this city. The road is constructed
through some OF the finest scenery in the
land; in fact it opens up country little
explored by the tourist and traveller.
Along it's route abonnds majestic and
awesome scenery which will repay any
one for taking trip over the road, There
are remnants OF the Aztec races all along
on the rocks, and there is a field for ex
ploration which is marvellous in the
abundance OF the possible resources.
The road has not been built in day.
1t has taken toll and the greatest OF
nerve to build, with many antagonizing
the effort OF Captain King. 1t has been
completed mile by IN le against mounta-
nious obstacles. The very people who
should have fostered the road and its
building have given it at times the cold
shoulder, but the indomitnble will OF
Captain King has successfully overcome
all obstacles.
The road leads through rocky
country from Cisco, Utah, in south
westerly direction, through the La Sal
mountains. In fact it is practically
along the edge Of the mountains, travers-
ing throe beautiful valleys.
BY this road all that great semi-tropi-
ical country OF the Moab valley, rich in
every resource, in agriculture and horti-
culture is brought almost to our very
doors. There is great and growing pop
ulation in the valley, together with the
numbers of people who are going into
the mining region of the La Sal country,
who will only too glally purchase their
supplies in this city, il the merchants
only know how to garner the rich har-
vest OF trade which seems to be lying
out before them.
Moab has for years, under the greatest
difficulties OF travel been trading to some
extent with Grand Junction, the time is
now here for the people Of this city to
obtain all that trade through the means
OF the new toll road of Capt. King.
The road is nearly completed and al
ready there are capitalists after it. Capt.
King has given an o. ton on the road to
parties already for 100000 for 30 days.
The parties dou btless will eventually sell
to the Rio Grande Western road, as 1t is
the only feasible route to get into the
valley. In fact the toll road which is
chartered institution holds the key to
the valley, and no road can be built
without occupying the pathway blazed
out by Capt. King
Honor to whom honor is due, has al
ways been the motto OF the SENTINEL,
and it believes in giving that honor at
once and not wait for years to give the
acknowledgment that any enterprise
merits. 1t has this to say TO Capt. King.
that he deserves great credit for tho
work, and it hopes that he will receive
the reward that his patience and work
serves.

scientist was quite amazed the other day al
observing a farmer, after killing a nest Of

dead snakes in the furrow before he went
back to the plow.
''Why did you do that, my good man,"
the scientist asked.
The farmer looked curiously at the
scientist. and, seeing that he was really in
search of information, replied:
Il do that so the plow will cover ths
snakes on the next round"
Seeing that the scientist was still mysti.

Il cover the snakes so that they will de.

sic, but the atmosphere in which he
grew up was charged with music, and
when he was left free to follow his in
clinations he started out at once to see
what he could do as his fathers sue
cessor. A lack of ambition was GER
tainly not one of his failings.
He studied hard and he studied long.
His mother saw that he received the
best training imaginable. Hans Rich
ter, one of the greatest conductors on
the globe, taught him the technics of
handling an orchestra. He worked in
theory and learned to play many in
struments himself, giving special at
tention to the piano. Then, when all
seemed ready, he appeared before the
world as a conductor of his fathers
works. That was a great event in the
German musical world, though to tell
the truth the people who crowded to
hear him were led more by curiosity
than by expectation of a real musical
treat.
Since then much of his life has been
spent at Bayreuth, where, under his
mothers direction, he became almost
as familiar with the staging of the Wag-
ner operas as she was, and she was GER
tainly the greatest of all Wagner stage
directors. Young Wagner is not cred
tied now with any of his fathers genius,
but his friends point to the short time
he has busted himself with music and
predict that the future has much in
store for him.
His manner of conducting is nervous.
rather than forceful. He knows the
scores of the greater part of the Wag-
ner operas, so that he can conduct al
most without following the books. Per-
sonally Wagner is small man, though
larger than his father. His face is in
telligent his expression is keen and his
bearing self-reliant. His mouth is sweet
and sunken and his chin protrudes, and
he has been described as looking like
Richard Wagner very much feminized.
He is thoroughly a man of the
world, and loves pretty face almost
as much as he loves music He was
given in his youth a thorough academic
training, and was intended for an
architect. The List tomb at Bayreuth
was designed by him.

FRUIT AS AN ANTIDOTE.
English Temperance journal Says
1t VIII Destroy the Cravings
for Alcoholic Drinks.

A writer in European temperance
journal calls attention to the value of
fruit as an antidote to the craving for
liquor. He says: in Germany, a ma
ton greatly in advance of other coun.
tries in matters relating to hygiene
alcoholic disease has been successfully
coped with by the adoption of pure
diet and natural curative agencies. ]
have said that the use of fresh fruit
is an antidote for the drink crave, and
this is true. l have met men who have
told me that fruit has often taken away
the craving for drink. 1t may be asked,
how can fruit and pure diet do all this?
The explanation is simple. Fruit may
be called natures medicine. Every ap.
pie, every orange, every plum and ev-
cry grape is a bottle of medicine. An
orange is three parts water distilled
in natures laboratory-butt this water
is rich in peculiar fruit acids medicin-
ally bala2ced, which are specially cool
ing to the thirst of the drunkard, and
soothing to the diseased state of his
stomach. An apple or an orange eaten
when the desire for liquor arises would
generally take away that desire, and
every victory would make less strong
each recurring temptation. The func-
ton of fresh fruits and succulent vege-
tables is not SO much to provide solid
nourishment as to supply the needful
acids and salines for the publication OF
the blood. Once get the blood pure,
every time its pure nutrient stream
bathes the several tissues of the body.
it will bring away some impurity, and
leave behind an atom of healthy tissue,
until in time the drunkard shall stand
up purified in his right mind"

MONEY SPENT FOR DRINK.
Striking Way of Illustrating the
$0OO,OOO,OOO Worse Than Thrown
Away in This Country.

The drink bill of the United States in
one year is 5000, 100000, so says the Off
cial statement.
Think of that, $900000,0 900!
Not the dollars and cents of the
wealthy classes alone, but of the work
ingmen, many of whom are, and have
been for months, out of employment.
1t is enough money to have kept all the
idle factories running; enough to sup
ply all the destitute men, women and
children with the necessities and many
of the luXuries of life. 1t is more than
is paid for bread, shoes and stockings,
public schools, sugar and molasses, cler-
gymen's salaries, home and foreign mis-
sions combined.
If you should lay these standard sill
yer dollars on the ground, edge down,
you would have three rows reaching
from Buffalo to Chicago; or, if piled one
above another, they would make a col
umn which would reach 1,6OO miles into
the air; more than 250 times higher
than the highest mountain peak in the
world.
Imagine this glittering pile of silver,
as it towers into the air, the topmost
dollar of which is far beyond the vision
of the naked eye, and what monument
it is!
Beautiful, were it raised to commem-
crate deeds of charity and love; most
worthy and inspiring if it spoke of bat
ties for the right. But its story is a
far different one.
1t stands a monument to ruined
hopes, darkened homes, wasted lives
and blighted ambitions. 1t represents
more bitter tears and sad hearts than
all the marble monuments in the silent
cities" of our land.
This is what it costs in dollars and
cents to furnish the United States with
liquor for one year.
What a waste of life, what a squan-
dering of manhood and womanhood,
too, these figures represent. Imagine
such an army, and what an endless pro-
cession it would make were it to pass
your door. 1t is said it requires 2,000,-
900 boys from each generation to keep
the saloons running, or one boy from
every five families; 80 boys from every
little settlement of $50 families.
Think of it! No one can tell with any
certainty which five or which 80 it will
be that will help swell the 100000;
but find in any community five boys
who smoke and swear, who are lack
ing in moral courage and true maD-
hood, and they are the ones who will
have better start in the wrong direc-
tion than the others.
1.-TWO millions! Now may Heaven
Be merciful to me-
That never in that company
My own dear boy l see.

With eyes so clear and true,
Can these accursed pitfalls
Be set for such as you?'

SAD SIGHTS.
Havoc the Liquor Habit wrought In
One Family-A WOmnn's Very
Touching Confession.

She came where we were holding our
street meeting, sobbing and moaning
as if some great sorrow had overtaken
her; and, indeed, we were sure there
had been when we looked at her red,
bloated face, although her apparel de-
noted sutficiency, at least, for all the
necessaries of life. Her little daughter,
a beautiful child, was with her, and
with tears plead with her mother to go
home, but she was searching for her
husband, who had stolen her sons
wheel, and would not heed.
Does your husband drink, too?" we
asked. Eyes, he's even worse than |
am. My son gave me eight dollars and
told me to get myself some good clothes,
and he bought himself a new wheel,
but now his father has taken it, and I'm
sure he will sell it and get drunk"
Even in her drunkenness her natural
shrewdness and wit were plainly dis
cernible, for when she said: 81 have
three boys and this little girl; my old
est son is just home from the war;"
her quick wit fathomed our thoughts,
for she added with much vehemance:
''Me and the old mans both bad, but
I've raised my children up right. You
couldn't hire one of them to take
drop, and they're good to work, too"
Then, as she saw how thankful we felt
for this bit of information, she said in
a more gentle tone: "Come to see me.
Perhaps I'd be better if | had some
one to help me-" ''Ah," we said that
