FOR SALE
Al Ideal Sheep or
Goat Ranch.

This ranch is located about as
miles north of Santa Fe, and a
few miles east of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad. 1t is in all
respects equal to the famous Pc
COS forest reserve. A creek of
pure mountain water runs through
it and the water never fails. The
land is covered with the finest
grasses and other forage plants
suitable for sheep, and especially
for goats. 1t has plenty Of shelf
er and contains much timber
which affords shade. The title
to the property is perfect. The
acreage is about 10000 acres, but
the range that is controlled by the
water thereon is very great. For
further information apply to Max.

DEFEAT THE BONDS.

In all the discussion of the water
question the friends of the $4,000 bond
issue assume that they must vote for
it or be oinched by a special tax that
amounts to confscation. In the pres
ent aroused state of public opinion the
citizens have it in their power to COM
pei fair treatment at the hands Of their
servants, the mayor and city council
Here is the situation:
The council needs $125,000 for work
begun on the water system. 1t asks
for $25O,OOO. and threatens to use its
tax-levying power as a club to compel
the voters to approve the bonds. This
same council has increased ordira airy
city expenses at the rate of 100000 a
year. anticipating the revenue needed
for next year and creating a bank
overdraft of s125.OOO. carrying high
rate OF interest.
The citizens of Salt Lake should vote
down The S25O.OOO bond proposition and
compel the council TO submit a new one
for half the amount-all that is needed
and all that can be legitimately ex-
pended this year.
If. as threatened. the council then pro-
ceeds to levy an extortionate special
tax. The taxpayers have ample protec-
ton in the law and should use it. If the
time has come when property interests
can be held IN by a combination OF
contractors and councilmen for the fur
theranee Of private pocketboozs, this
is a good time to make the fact known

Questionably it is the absolute confidence

SHORT STORIES.
General Miles on Good Roads.

General Nelson A. Miles tells the story
Of an old teamster out west who was
driving over a very rough road in the
Rocky mountains shortly after the Geron-
imO campaign. He had the general for a
passenger The wagon was an old prairie
schooner, without springs or cushions
and the general was vainly attempting to
fan asleep. relates the New York Mail
and Express.
But there was no sleep for me on that
trip, says General Miles, for the old ras-
cal drove over every bowlGer in the road:
IN fact, he seemed 10 be doing il purpose
~. Finally became interested and began
70 count the number of rocks over which
me wheels OF the wagon passed or which
they struck Suddenly TO my consterna-
ton he missed One-a huge bOwlGer in the
mlddle OF the roadway
up
He quietly followed my instructions,
seeming TO be not ar all surprised by
them When he had his wagon in the
proper position I said. Now, drive over
that rock confound youi It's the only
one you've missed
Without so much as a glance in nv
direction, he replied. Cert, pard Never
noticed it. Amt got a chew about yer?'
1 got out and walked the remaining
eight miles"
General Miles uses this story as an argu-
ment for the construction of the great
transcontinental highway which is being
advocated by automObiliStS and cyclists
throughout The country.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The school election in this county re-
suited in the election of B. w. Ashton.
the ''non-partisan" Republican candi-
date, who received approximately 1900
votes. against 900 cast for D. W. Mof-
fat, the Democratic candidate. At the
special election last April these same
county precincts cast 2,OSS Democrat tic
votes and 1Si5 Republican votes. The
Monday election therefore showed a
falling off in the Republican vote of 345
and in the Democratic vote of nearly
1900.
The important fact shown by the re-
suit is that the Democratic convention
nominated a candidate who was not
wanted by the Democratic voters. Re
ports from all of the Democratic
strongholds Of the county are of the
same tenor that many Democrats re-
fused to go to the polls and that many
other Democrats voted for the non
partisan" Republican candidate. But
40 per cent of the Democratic vote Of
last April was polied. The lesson TO
Democrats is that their ticket will al
ways lose if their voters remain at
home on election day.
The Republicans, after running their
candidate as a non partisan" appeal
ing to all non-partisan voters for aid
after taking every available Republican
to the polls and securing the vote of
every dissatisfied Democrat who came
out-after all this and counting all

AN ABSURD ORDINANCE

The bicycle ordinance has become a
law. II is a radical measure. destined
to be of few days and full of trouble.
II goes entirely too far. AS The Herald
pointed out when the matter was first
taken up and discussed in the city
council. there are two sides TO the
question. Pedestrians have rights and
so have the wheelmen.
Insofar as the ordnance prohibits
wheelmen from riding on sidewalks
within certain prescribed limits en-
braeing the more thickly populated por-
ton Of the city. or at least the side
walks in more general use. it is unOb-
jectionable. provided other paths are
provided for the wheelmen. But when
the city council and the mayor under
take 10 say that no person shall ride
a bicycle within the corporate limits
of Salt Lake City without having at
least one hand on the handle bars and
the feet on the pedals or shall ride
more than two abreast on streets where
buggies, street cars and truck wagons
may run abreast: or shall not take
lHCI CuIluItH out lot d SPIN On d DlSS
Gle, tricycle.. velocipede or any other
riding machine or vehicle" it is not
only unjust but absurd
The ordinance will not stand the test
in any court of justice. The speed and
sidewalk regulations may be enforced.
But the city cannot say that a wheel
man shall have one hand on the han
die bars and both feet on the pedals
any more than it can oblige a driver of
horses TO hold a line in each hand and
put his feet on the dashboard; it can
not limit the number of people who ride
abreast any more than it can keep
four people from walking abreast; and
its enforcement as. it reads will GER
tainiy prevent a man or woman from
taking his family out for a ride upon
any riding machine or vehicle CLASH
fication which includes automobiles if
not carriages of every description. II
also prohibits any child from riding a
tricycle.. except in the middle of the
street.
This ridiculous ordinance is doomed
to an early amendment if not an alb
so!ute repeal

A COMMEMORATE PROJECT.

The Herald is advised that a request
will be presented soon to the public
library board, asking that the reading
rooms of the library be opened for the
public during part of every Sunday.
While the matter has never been be-
fore the board formally. it has been
discussed several times and the indi-
viduaI directors have expressed the
opinion that Sunday opening would be
a practical benefit to the public and
should be instituted whenever there
seemed enough interest in it to war
rant the expense which would natural
ly follow such a movement. 1t is
gratifying TO know that the present
request originates with members of the
Young Peoples Christian union and
others like them who are interested in
the welfare of the people and see in the
library an opportunity to promote that
welfare. The Herald believes the good
that would follow the opening of the
library on the Sabbath would fully
justify the board in undertaking such
an innovation

A young man. well known on Walnut
Hills. and noted for the grand stand plays
he makes about PEBBLES corner. was
standing on that corner one afternoon last
week, when he eSpied an object lying on
the street that caused his heart TO fairly
stand still, says the Cincinnati Enquirer
A shimmering buckle that resembled gold
glistened in the sunlight and a cIrclet of
Silken elastic, pink in color. Was what
greeted his eye So making one mad leap
into the street, he secured the prize and
bore it to the sidewalk
All said he TO himself This is in

in his inside vest pocket nearest his heart
and bore il home and slept that night with
the silken circlet under his pillow The
next morning he schemed a little, and
wound up by taking car for the city.
Visiting the newspaper Offices, he inserted
the following advertisement in each paper
in the found" column:
GARTER--Lady' :, at PEBBLES Corner /;

Then he returned home and cut few

And he Rugged himself with delight The
next morning shortly after breakfast a
ring came at the front dOpr bell, and the

wanted to see him at the door He went

Without saying a word he handed over

Joke was that the garter was really lost
by a we'll known young lady who valued
il highly as a gift, and having heard OF
the young man and not caring TO meet
him. had given her colored cook a de
I scription OF the garter and had sent the
woman TO his house TO recover It

FOREIGN BORN CITIZENS.

Republican newspapers without no.
table exception are denouncing the
Germans in this country as an ignorant
set of people who vote in droves" and
blindly follow the leadership of two or
three German politicians. When an
issue arises upon which they are pc
culiarly we'll informed and a danger
threatens their adopted land which
they have learned by bitter experience
to shun, our fellow citizens of German
extraction instinctively array them
selves against it. They care nothing
about the politicians. They act upon
their intelligence and experience. and
for the sake of their posterity.
The local organ of the administration
repeats the insults it heaped upon Ger
man-Americans last winter and adds
the libels circulated this summer by
the Anglicized press. 1t finds fault
with them if they declare an intention
TO do all within their power to prevent
the adoption of the pernicious system
of nnilitarisn which has been the curse
of Europe and the burden of Germany.
Yet administration papers in general
are felieitating Chairman Hanna upon
his chance of securing ''the united sup
port of all the English born citizens
of this country" The Chicago Times
Herald says that there are 100000
Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen
in this country who will flock to the
standard of the Republican party" 1t
claims that they will make the South
African war an issue and will support
Mckinley because of his pro-British
sympathies.
The Inter-Ocean is authority for the
report that "British-Americans will
support the Republican ticket on ae-
count of the pro-Boer attitude of the
Democratic party"
If this be true, there is no reason
why the Revolutionary War shouldn't
be made one of the paramount issues
of this campaign Let US have another
contest between the Tories and the
Americans. Let US review the differ
ences settled in the war of 1872.

the grandeur of our national institu-
lions to help us maintain them and
guard against the evils of the Old
World, they are good citizens and well
come. If foreigners come to help the
Tory party defeat the principles it OPP
posed without avail century and a
quarter ago, they are not good citi-
zens.
Adopted citizens should be done with
imperialism. Their oath required that
they should renounce allegiance TO ev-
cry other power and potentate, and
particularly 10 those under which they
were born and brought up.
We believe all Communications
took this oath in good faith and that
they are as much opposed TO the imper-
ialism and militarism of their native
land as they ever were. We believe,
also, that 80 per cent of the English
born citizens of this country feel the
same way and that fully rs per cent of
them are thoroughly weaned from the
mother country.
Moreover, there is a difference be-
tween the schemes of the Rhodes
Chamberlain combine and the welfare
of the United Kingdom and English
men are beginning to figure it out.
