DARING YOUNG STAGE DRIVER
sixteen-Year-OId Youth Makes some
speedy Dashes on His Route
In Wyoming.


One of the youngest and most dar-
ing stage drivers in the United States
is Victor White, a 1~6-year-old youth,
who cracks the whip between Rock
river and Laramie peak. "Vic," as he
is known by all the tourists and ranch
men, makes the 45-mile trip in two
dashing relays, running 20 miles in the
forenoon and 25 miles in the after
noon. He makes three round trips
each week, and upon the run is as dar-
ing as a Cossack, says a report from
Laramie to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Tenderfeet" who visit the country
usually accompany this red-headed,
freckled-faced, coatless lad in the
journey to Laramie peak. Young
White drives lone but the widest and
fastest horses, which pull the old
army wagon at a breakneck speed the
greater part of the distance across the
level country.
The boys father is a horse breeder
and owns 100 head of bronchos. "Vic"
breaks these in on the race to Laramie
peak. A typical run was made the
other day when three fasteners, two
men and a woman, took passage in the
army wagon. When the boy was
ready to make the trip he yelled for
his passengers to hop into the wagon.
Up ahead seven men stood holding
n of the horses, a rabbit-like "clay-
bank" that looked as wicked as mad
bull. When the passengers were
aboard Vic jumped to the seat, cried
out for the tourists to hold fast, and
ordered the men to let go the horses.
There was a rattle and a roar. The
heels of the broncho were playing a
tattoo on the dashboard and the wagon
was dashing away toward Laramie
peak so rapidly that in a few minutes.
it dropped down beyond the horizon.
"Vic" says the team ran fully 20 miles
of the first relay and that the tourists
spent the entire time alternately
swearing at the horses and praying for
d~eliverance.
The youthful stage driver is widely
known as a hunter and frequently
when driving in a gallop he will throw
up his Winchester and blow the head
off a badger or a coyote. He never re-
turns to Rock river without a lot of
game, and has a p%enchant for shoot
ing the heads off the sage hens that
are numerous along the trail.
The Laramie peak trail runs
through a number of fenced ranches
and young White has to stop often to
open gates. Hills, gulleys and prairie
dog holes have no terrors for him,
and once he is on his seat he cracks the
whip and sends the bronchos forward
on the run. To protesting passengers
he says that a wild gallop is the only
gait the animals know, and that they
wouldn't rest if he wanted them to.
"Vic" White is a typical boy of the
plains. He swears like a pirate and
drives like an old Roman. His red and
freckled face is usually lighted up with
a grin and he isn't afraid of anything
that breathes. He is as rugged as an
Eskimo and refuses to, wear a coat in
the coolest weather. He has broken
scores of coyotes" as the western
horses are called, and has never failed
to carry his passengers to their des-
tination. He says he has had several
runaways, but the tourists declare
that every trip is a runaway.

How they Cook venison in Maine.

Here is the most savory way to pre-
pare venison according to Game War
den Walter |. Neal. He says: ''The
man who is going into the woods to
shoot a deer and to cook and eat veni-
son of his own killing should leave all
his broiling and grilling utensils be-
hind. There is only one way to cook
v~enison in the woods or anywhere else.
Heat a thick frying pan or an old style
spider upon the Goals until it is al
most red. Cut off thick slices of the
meat and throw them in the pan and
keep them right up against the dry,
hot surface until they are scorched
on both sides. Then turn them out on
a platter, cut the meat full of deep
gashes, clear down through the crust
and into or beyond the center, and
fill the openings with butter, piling it
on until the platter swims in gravy.
After this add pepper and salt to suit
the taste, and eat it before it is cold.
Cooked and served in this manner veni-
son is the best meat that grows, and
the man who does not like it either
has trouble with his stomach or his

Our Churches Not for Sunday Only

TWICE VETOED.
Mayor Again Disapppyes of Mattress
Water Right Purchase,

Mayor Thompson today, for the Sec
ond time, vetoed the action Of the
council in the purchase of the Utah
Mattress and Manufacturing compa-
nys Jordan river water right for the
sum OF $500. The reason set forth
by the mayor is that the water right
contemplated by the purchase has been
adjudeed by the court, In the case of
the Salt Lake city ct al VS. the salt
Lake city Water and Electrical Power
company ct al, 10 be power right,
that is 10 be used for power purposes
only and not consumers right" for
which purpose the city Is purchasing
the same. Hence the title is In doubt
and indications are that the city will
purchase q lawsuit.
The mayor states, however, that II
the mattress company will guarantee
to protect and defend the title TO the
water right. he would heartily favor
the purchase The mayors veto Is
based on an opinion submitted by city
Attorney Nye. which sets forth the liti-
cation that Is likely TO result from the
purchase and. as water litigation is
very expensive TO the city. he advises
that the matter be turned down.
II was decided AZ the council meet
ing on Monday evening not TO consider
the former action taken by the coun-
ell when Il was recommended that the
purchase be made. Two reports were
submitted on the matter. one favoring
a reconsideration and one recommend
ing that the former action OF the coun-
eli stand. The latter report was
majority report and was adopted by
the council. II Is this report that the
mayor vetoes In his communication Of

Chicago, July i2.-PersIstent demands

forth protest from the institutions

slst that they have an agreement with
the revenue department 10 the effect
that no attmpt viii be made to collect
such taxes until the supreme court has

vided profits are to be Included in the

American Bankers association, which
was that payment OF the tax was not

decision OF the district court In New
York was not unexpected as Is EVIL

was reached the government attorney
asked the court TO enter proforma or

announced that one side would appeal,
no matter which way the case was de-
