Weekly Crop BuIletin.

The week ending May 9th was
much cooler than usual, the mean
temperature ranging from 5 to 7 de-
erees per day below normal. The
weather was generally cloudy with good
and well distributed showers in most
sections Of the State during the latter
part of the week. Frost was some
what general during the early part Of
the week, but no damage Of any con-
sequence was reported. About 8
inches of snow fell on the mountains In
the western part Of the State on
the 9th.
The weather conditions Of the week
were favorable to wheat and grasses,
but "unfavorable to alfalfa and garden
truck which remained at a standstill.
All crops are in excellent condition and
only require warmer weather for rapid
growth. The range feed is reported
good in all sections and cattle, sheep
and horses are in fine condition. The
outlook for fruit is excellent.
In the southern part Of Lincoln
county, the first crop Of alfalfa is be-
cut and stacked; the yield is abou
average. J. H. SMITH,

Railroad Patents.

A single firm of Patent Lawyers, c
A. Snow & Co., of Washington, D. c.,
have in the last year procured $50
patents for their clients. many Of them
for rejected inventions. C. A. Snow
g. Co. have been accused Of railroad
ing patents through the Patent Office,
but they insist that this locomotion is
better than ox-carting them, for by the
latter process the inventor often dies
before he gets his patent.

Is it Merely Advertising?--Seem

Not.
Trib is not advertised in Montana
yet orders from 1t are coming from
there.
1t is not advertised in New York, yet
a few, rel there. buy Trib, when a
liniment is wanted-won't take any
thing else even if they have to send to
Nevada for it.
Trib is not advertised in Alaska, yet
there are those in Alaska who use it.
They say it is good for chilbains and
frost-bite, as we'll as for bruises and
sprains.
Without advertising, orders came
from the Nevada boys serving in the
Philippines. They used it for "hives''
and "prickly heat and for the cure of
poisonous wounds from the bamboo
cane, which were said to be incurable,
but which healed after amounting with
Trib.
Trib is is not advertised in Mexico,
yet Nevadans in that country continue
to send home for it.
Advertising is a very good thing. We
hope that some day the Trib Co. may
fully carry out the request Of good
Mrs. Ann Hickey to ''go on advertising
Trib until all the world knows Of this
great blessing
But it looks as if there is something
more than advertising Trib.

NEW NATIONAL THEATER.-It was a
busy day at bonneville last night. For ten
or twelve minutes after the curtain went
up at the National Theater Zeke Swinney,
Amos Elright and other country folk bus
tied about and jostled one another. Whence
they came or whittier they were going was
nobody's business save that of each indi-
vidual concerned. They were simply there
on exhibition to prove beyond the shadow
of a doubt that David Harum" as pre-
sented by this company is a play and not
monologue. These gentle specimens Of the
genus "Bgosh'' gamboled and ruminated
while the minutes slipped away, serving no
apparent purpose than to let the audience
get hungry for the star comedian. And
they got good and hungry. There Is some
little break in the monotony when the
heroine, a young woman who wants to
teach school, so to be independent"
comes on the stage. 1t is evident from the
very start that she is not bonneville bred.
You can tell 1t by the way she says ''yaiss"
and thank you so much" But the dram
atists have made her such a weak type OF
heroine that her graces OF speech cannot
save her in discriminating interest. She
is merely another Of the people who go to
make up the company and spare Mr.. Crane
the necessity of talking all the time.
In spite of David Harum's'' deficiencies
as a drama, it cannot fail to be a source Of
delight TO many people to see the shrewd,
uncultured, golden-hearted hero of this
wonderfully successful novel, realized in
flesh and blood by so capable an actor as
Mr.. Crane. None of 'Dayvidd's" ilomely
aphorisms are permitted to go without a
laugh from the audience. Mr. Crane sees
to that. When he has said something fun
ny he selects from his marvellous assort-
ment of laughs one appropriate to the occa-
sion and sends 1t out upon Its mission.
There is no resisting Mr.. Cranes laugh,
whether 1t be the long. low .chuckie of good
fellowship or the silent facial contortions
which approves his own shfewdness So
long as the laughs are there, no one will
care whether they come from Crane az
David Harum.'' or David Harum' az
Crane. Both are names to cOnJure with

MIR. DUCKETT's PLAN.
Recommends n Way to Avoid Collf-
siOns With Fire ENGINES.

Mr.. W. G. Duckett Is one OF those citizens
who desire to assist the District Commits
sioners in preventing such accidents as re-
suited last week in the death Of member
Of the fire department. He has suggested
to Commissioner Macfarland to have a
member of the company responding to an
alarm of fire precede the apparatus on
horseback. or, In fair weather, on bicycle.
This man, Mr.. Duckett suggests, should be
provided with a bugle, thereby enabling
him to warn pedestrians and teams of the
approach of the apparatus, and pausing at
the railroad crossings to give warning to
