Have No Sense of Value.

The African native has no real sense
of the value of money and il he is in
the mood for work will toll as readily
for f3 as 3 shillings, but if he has once
been paid a certain sum for labor he
will never work for less, but will soon
er starve, and very amusing instance
is given of native who would not sell
some fowls for IS pence each because
he had heard that friend had been
paid 2 shillings He walked 13O miles
to try and get the higher price, and,
still being only offered IS pence. tramp

"DEAR HEART, WHERE HAST THOU
VANDERBILT"

Dear heart, where hast thou wandered?
What happier regions stay
Thy lingering feet, whose coming changed
My winter into May?
Now all our slopes are burseoned
In summers lavish mood,
And deep within the grove the thr,nh
Has brlled the solitude.
The laurcls set the hillside
With many spectral light;
Seen through the dusk, they stand lik
nNmphs,
EXpectantly in flight
But somewhere thou dost lingc-,
lmplacable, aiar,
Though high within the twilight sky
Cleans cold our trystng star.
The brooks We loved still murmur.
Though now through dels oi gloom;
The very hills have lost with thee
Their moety of bloom.
Still each leaf whispers of tlicc;
In every path once trod
BY thy dear feet thy spirit yet
Speaks frohi rcmcmberin. sod.

Improved tho onnortun,ty.

The Empress Eugenie had long en-
treated Napoleon I'LL to confer upon
Rosa Bonhcur the cross of the Legion
of Honor. He had refused because he
did not wish to found precedent for
bestowing it upon a woman. Being
called across the border into Spain, Ma
poleon made Eugenie regent in his alb
sence, and she, with woman wit, took
advantage of her authority to confer
the honor upon the great artist. Napo-
leon laughed on hearing his wife's con.
fession, but the act stood.

Head of Union Pacific Seek,
ing to Deter lhe q" From
Building 20 OGDEN.

World Herald.
The railroad situation in the
west becomes more complicated
every day and new reports are put
in circulation locally and in the
east as to what will be the ulti-
mate outcome. Following close
on the heels Of the apparently
we'll authenticated statement that
the Union Pacific has bought the
Central Pacific from Ogden to
San Francisco, is still another that
the Union Pacific is about to Sc
cure control of the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Denver & Rio
Grande Western, better known in
railroad circles as the "ElboW
route"
If this is accomplished the ques.
tion naturally arises as to what
the Burlington will do when the
Union Pacific assumes control.
At present the Burlington has
traffic arrangements with the Rio
Grande roads, the Burlington
through cars running over these
roads west of Denver to Salt Lake
City and Ogden, where connec.
tion is made with the Central
Pacific, which road carries them
to San Francisco, or switches them
onto the Southern Pacific, it Los
Angeles and Southern California
be the objective points.
That the Union Pacific does not
care to see the Burlington build
into Ogden is an open secret, be-
cause If that we're done the chances
are that the line would te ex.
t nded on to the coast, and thus
cut off much of the business Of
the Union Pacific.
To obviate this entrance into
Ogden, if possible, President Burt
of the Union Pacific had a lone
conference with General Manager
Holdrege, in the latter's private
Office, yesterday, and it is said
tried to show Mr. Holdrege that
the interests of the Burlington
could best be subserved by max.
ing q traffic arrangement with the
Union Pacific.
Mr. aoldrege, it is said, did not
take kindly to the proposition Of
Mr. Burt and intimated that the
Burlington was quite able, from 8
financial point of view, to build te
the Pacific coast, or to any Other
point that might be thought ad.
visable.
The conference between Nj
Burt and Mr. Holdrege LASTED
quite while and when President
Burt left for his Office at the
headquarters building he did mo-
act as if he had accomplished JUS
what he came to do.

Il Harrison County is not q

the pro-liquor men of the county.
This morning in every town and

ments commenced work CANVASS

the required consent of q msjori.
ty of the voters of the county to
the operation of saloons regulated

The persons who have assumed
the responsibility for the circula-

consultations during the past few
weeks and commence the work in

While it may not be generally
known the temperance people of
the county have been "doin' !"

liquor advocates fail this time it
will undoubtedly put a quietus on

Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt has given
to Congress the longest message
of any of his predecessors.
After paying due tribute to the
character and public life of Mr..
Mckinley and his untim ely end,
he recommends legislation by
Congress against anarchists to
exclude them from this country
and punishm emit and deportation
OF those who are here. He then
treats of trusts and recommends
a department of commerce as
part of the governmen t to CON
trole and make public the affairs
Of corporations, such as is ex-
ercised by the treasury depart
ment over national banks.
General tariff legislation is OPP
posed. Reduction in Cuban
tariff favored. He takes a de-
cided stand in favor of Monroe
doctrine. He advocates the
bringing of our navy to the high
est standard of efficiency If any
OF the powers Of the world so
that we may be able to enforce
the Monroe doctrine, protect our
commerce, and as a means of
perpetuating peace in the West
ern Hemisphere. He also adj
vocates the building of the 18th
milan canal and government aid
in irrigation Of Western lands.
He also favors the ship subsidy
bill, His message was expected
to be radical, but it is a conser-
vative and strong document and
all his recommendations are for
the best interests of the public
welfare.

The Cotton Crop.

The government report for
Decem Der places the cotton crop
at 9,674 900 bales, gathered from
20, S02, 239 acres. This is contra
ny 10 the expectation of the COM
mercial word, as from various
other data, it had anticipated
over h 100000 bale crop.
Prices in consequence of this idea
have been running down now for
some time. This report gave it ID
sudden bound upwards cent
per pound and there is no telling
where it will stop. 1t may reach
10 cents before very long for a
short crop last year and another
this year will create a veritable
cotton famine Those who have
held cotton are in good luck.
The world has to a great extent
been disposed to place little re-
lance on the government report
but it has the greatest facilities
for ascertainiDg correct condi-
ton than any other agency and
time has proven this true, until
now its reports CONTROL the en-
tire field in this matter. In ad :
dition to its regular County re-
port it has 1900 ginners and 5
600 bankers. If foreign markets

The Indians.

One of the saddest stories in
the annals Of times is the treat
ment of the American Indians by
the Anglo-Saxon land grabbers
and robbers. The destruction
of the Middianites in the land of
Canaan was not more ruthless,
effectual and cold blooded. The
following from the Picayune tells
the whole Indian story from the
beginning to the present. It is
taken from the report Of the
Secretary of the Interior for the
year ending June Both, 1901.
The figures Of the Indian
population of the United States
are interesting. 1t is found that
the so-called wild Indians. now
located on 156 separate reserva-
tions, number 178, 919. The five
civilized tribes in Indian Terri
tory, EN- bracing the Choctaws,
Chickasaws, Cherokees, Creeks
and Seminoles, nun Der "a, 507
souls, including freedmen. The
Six Nations, composing the New
York Indians, number 5,232. The
entire Indian population Of this
vast country, from Mexico and
the Gulf of Mexico to British
America, and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Ocean, is not more
than 100000.
These are the remains of the
numerous tribes which once peo-
pied this continental region, and
who. in the beginning, extended
the hand of friendship to the
white settlers and fed them in
hines of starvation, but who fin.
ally were driven by the aggres-
sions and bad faith of the white
invaders to resist them and to
meet them in war which for
more than two centuries was
waged with great fury, but which
1as resulted in the complete sub
lection of the Red men, and very I

he Indians of Mexico and Cen
raj America are placed at 6, 000.-

ives. although they had to be
by the Spanish in

ions of friendship with the
mites, and they lived together
