THE FARCE Of IT.

The National Irrigation Congress
meets on the 2Ist Of this month, and,
among other matters of Importance
outside Of irrigation. will bring up
the question of forest preservation.
The question Of forest preservation is
the biggest farce Of any branch Of
the government 1t is downright
steal. as the forest commission only
draws salary aud allows the timber
thieves to get in more grabbing every
year.
The timber thieves are working off
a new dod on the people, and the
government forest commissions are
standing in with them. The timber
men who have cleaned cut Dig area
OF forest land and rendered it value
less. now turn this Quilted land over
to the government in exchange for
virgin timer belts. 1t is arch ,hing
for the timbermen, and the forestry
commission stands in with them and
the result is that not a section be
tween Nevada and British Columbia
is not market for the an
In about one hundred ve,rs. when
this neck of the woods is as flee from
timber as toad is from feathers, the
good people Of this wild vest will
curse their ancestors and this wise
government because X did not take
the timber pirates ont and hang them
to the forests that they destroyed.
If this irrigation congress is look
ing for measures that will benefit the
future and present generations, it had
better insist on some plan Of forest
preservation that will protect the
trees from the commercial ak OF the

MISPLACED LOGIC.
Four True Statements Constitute One
Big Falsehood.
(New OrIeans Times-Democratl

New Orleans Times-Democrat.)
Stranger" said talkative man in the
hotel lobby, "but four statements, each
perfectly true in detail, made a whooping
big lie in the aggregate It happened
like this: I went into a jeweIry store yes
terday and asked to see a cheap watch.
The clerk showed me a tinclad affair at
$l50. 1t came in a small pasteboard box.
on the lid of which I noticed the state
ment that it was the equal to any IS
watch in the world. Have you watch
at S5?' ] asked. Yes, sir said the clerk.
and he handed me very neat timepiece
cased in oxidized steel You will find
that just as good as anything you can
get for five times the amount he re-
marked, opening the back and showing
me the works. 1t looks all right 7 said.
but on second thought 1 believe I'd like
something better Well here are some
filed case Watches he replied that we
sell with thirty-year guarantee The
case can't be distinguished from solid
gold, and the movement is fully stand
ardized and tested for heat and cold. Tt
is a watch we consider very cheap at SIS
I Dried open the back case and out
dropped a little disk of paper on which
the th1rty-year guarantee was printed.

ticular,' ii said in preamble, as the aver

man get for $l002 ] asked. The best in
the world replied the clerk enthusiastic
ally. Here is one now. You observe its
thinness and general elegance. As far as
the movement is concerned it is simply
impossible to produce anything better
All right | said, IN invest on that
assurance and [ picked up the tinclad
machine and laid down S1.50. i have your
word / added that this is the best

kind. Don't you claim that II is as good
as any S. watch gOing2 / asked. pointing
to the statement on the box lid. Yes
but And you Just assured me- / con-
tinued, that the S. watch was the equal
of anything at five times the price. That
gets us to SO and the filled case guaran-
tee states specifically that the SIS watch
is as well made as a 800 chrOnOmeter

stuck out firmly that each of the four as
sertions was gospel truth, but he wouldn't
stand for their logical conclusion. l told
him he ought to be arrested for asking

his own admission was no better than one

"slugs' '-technical terms of printers
designating the means Of making
small or large spaces between the lines
of reading matter lead indicating
a small and a slug variable in size
"a larger space between the reading
lines. A column that was WGefully
short of type would be loaded" and
'slugged" until it was brought to a
uniform length with other columns.
And "slugs," many of which were need
ed, were very scarce, so much So that
pieces Of wood were Whitfield down
with pocket knives and made to do
service TO space OUT shy columns
Occasionally the Watchful eye of
some anxious spectator would light on
spot that needed padding and the
behOlder would say, Brother COwley.
the column needs some more slugs"
whereupOn Brother CoWley would
perspire a little more and declare he
had observed the necessity, but that
he had neither slugs nor leads, and
then search would begin for other
pieces of wood to be trimmed down
with a knife and so utilized, the in
evitable uneveuness of which will ac-
count for the wObbly appearance of
many parts Of the sheet Cardboard,
match ends and paper were impressed
to hold the forms together.
Now, Brother" Dunbar knew great
deal about finances in those days, but
little enough of printers technical eX-
pressions and the frequently used word
slug" was so much in sound like an
other word that il conveyed the same
idea to his mind. SO at one time, in
common with what several others were
doing he let his fingers play over the
matter to see if the types yielded, so
to determine whether the form might
be safely locked up. In doing so he
discovered a significant gap that fol-
lowed the pressure Of his fingers on a
given column. With a simplicity that
has always been characteristic of him,
Brother" Dunbar turned his eyes on
the foreman and half inquiring and
half assertingly said: Brother Cow
ley, does this column need another
plug?"
The strain was broken. COwley per-
spired to profusion, the light remnants
of what had once been a good head of
hair turned crimson to the roots; the
forms were locked up, The Herald was
born.
I linked the form for every copy of
that edition-fOr every copy of every
edition that came off that old Wash
ingtOn hand press. There are many
events of my childhood as of my ripper
years that I recall without pleasure or
approval. This is one of them.

Hancock, who, ten years later, was to
run for the presidency on the Demo-

Salt Lakes Growth.
Those who have a price in the growth
and progress of Salt Lake City and
who have confidence in its future as
a center of culture, wealth and trade
will find much TO encourage them in
reading over this initial number of The
Herald and rejecting on the changes
that have taken place in the community
since. The old Constitution building,
in which The Herald was Graded in
its infancy has passed away and lives
now only in the memory of the older
inhabitants, In rs place arose the
stately building that stands there now,
but it was long ago cast into the shade
| both as to size and style by buildings
that came later.
1t would be impossible in an ordinary
article to even mention the great
changes that have taken place in this
city in the past thirty years, Three
decades ago the great Temple was still
a castle in the air. There were no
such things as street cars then. Anne

there was very little in the city then

air was still many years in the future;
there We're none of the large hotels that
now care FOR the travelling public; there
WIS but one railroad, and that of the
crude variety at that time, al
/ though it has sine become part of a
great system; there were no paved

no electric lights, either on the streets
or in the buildings thirty years ago
and the candle WIS still in its glory
The telephone was not dreamed of in
those early days and if a man had
but spoken of a gramophone. a graphic
phone, bicycle or an automobile he
would have been Imprisoned as a Iu-
matte. A typewriter or an elevator
would have been looked upon then as
the flying machine is looked upon now

facts that the progress. made in Salt

in the fence viewers These were
city officers There were five of them,
one for each municipal ward. The
fence viewers at this time were Levi
Ritter, Samuel TurnbOw. Gideon II. G..
Gibbs. Milton Atwood and W. c. \.
Smoot. The duty of these officers was
to inspect the fences and see that the
people kept them up TO a certain stan
dard and in proper repair. Salt Lake
was originally laid out in ten-acre
blocks and people farmed those blocks
then much as they farm the ten-acre
tracts south of the city now. If the
fences were not properly kept up, the
COWS. sheep, hogs and chickens got out
and rOamed over the city, doing great
damage. To prevent this nuisance, the
fence viewers We're required to make
regular rounds and lay down the law
to the careless and unlawful Before
the courts were established, all these
cases were tried before the church au-
thorities, and there are instances on
record where prominent men were ex-
communicated from the church for dis
obedience to these laws and ordinances
regarding the fences. The father of
one of the most prominent men now
in TIE state was communicated from
the church because he refused to put
four poles on his fence.
Review of the News.
The news given in this little paper,
though meagre compared with the

complete record of the worlds doings
laid upon the breakfast table each
morning in these days, is yet interest
ing to review even at this late time,
and furnishes a good illustration of the
flight of time. In the column devoted
10 local news is noted the 69th birthday
of President Brigham Young, which oc-
CURED the Wednesday before, and it is
stated that he entered upon his 10th
year, hale in body, vigorous in mind,
and with his powers betOkening a
heightened lease of life" AS President
Young has now been dead for twenty
three years, this item alone accentuates
the fact that The Herald has
grown to be a veteran.
Another local item of interest still
is the announcement that John w.
Young had just fitted up a splendid
bathing spot on the shore Of Salt Lake
about three miles from Pennington on
the tracks Of the Utah Central Ex-
cursions were to be run out there every
Wednesday and Saturday. There was
no Satan IN those days, nor anything
that indicated in any way that there
would ever be such a resort. The only
way to battle was 20 run down to the
shore and jump into the lake. The
promoter Of this bathing resort cut an
important figure later in the develop
ment OF this community. and his daring
Exploits are still spoken of with wond-
er; but no record is kept Of the sue
cess or failure of this bathing scheme
of his: no doubt it made way for other
and better schemes as fhe community
progressed.
1t was gravely announced in another
local item that a carload of ore had
been shipped west. over the Utah Cen
t~al. The destination of the ore is not
given and it is Of little consequence
now, but the fact that it was shipped
out of the state brings to mind forcibly
the beggardly condition of the mining

fered from the other communities of the
state only in size. 1t possessed very
few of those conveniences and utilities
that now characterize every CONNER
ciaI center. The population of this
city then was One-fourth of what it is
now; it had but little communication
with the outside world; the great min
eTal wealth of the surrounding noun
tains that is destined to make this city
in time one Of the great marts on the
western continent was still sleeping I'M
disturbed. There was but little on the
horizon anywhere at that time to in
dictate that Salt Lake would in time
sbe thrown into the main channel of the
worlds progress.
The heart beats Of a community are
recorded in it's daily press. Every ma
terial fact, every aspiration for some
thing better, every step forward in the
march of progress is set down and pre-
served as history by the wide-awake
journal. For thirty years today The
Herald has gone in and out among the
people of this community. 1t has kept
pace with their progress in all the
various avenues Of human activity. It's
life is SO interviewer with the life Of
the city that it would be an impossible
task to separate the one from the 9TH
er And after every other word has
been said and after every other test
has been applied the truest and best
record Of the progress Of Salt Lake
City from June 3, 1870. to the present
day is to be found in the columns of

No Chance for Bryan.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Robson are
home after ten days stay at the
Colorado in Glenwood Springs. While
there Mr.. Robson became quite well
acquitted with Paul Morton, vice
president of the Santa Fe R. R. sys-
tenn. Mr.. Morton's business takes him
over the entire country and gives him
an opportunity to size up the politi-
ca, situation in pretty good shape.
Mr.. Morton tells Mr.. Robson that
there is not the slightest possibility
of Bryan's election. He says in
Chicago bets are being made at
three to one on Mckinley and even
with those large odds there is very
little Democratic money showing
itself. He says further that the
principal eastern Democrats have
give up all hopes of electing a presi-
dent and that the fight will be made
with a view Of saving as many Of the
local offices as possible.

that the labor day celebration pro-

The universal opinion expressed
the open air concert at
the city park last Friday night is that
the band boys show decided inn
provement, and that to the average
person the band appears more like an
old than a new organization. Such
expressions ought to be gratifying to
the band boys. They are doing good
work, and the largely increased crowd
in attendance last Friday night at
tests that the music is getting better
and better each time.
