alTooNs's GENIUS.

ONE OF THOSE RARE. geniuses of
~ the Joe Mulhattan order evidently
abides in the city of Altoona, Pa. News
was duh in Altoona the other day. so
this gentleman tried his hand at some
thing really ambitious. On the wires
he placed a message beginning thusly;
Thirteen cows. the property Of
Claude Peters, "A dairyman near Mar
tinsburg. we're destroyed today by at
tempting to eat dynamite. The detona-
ton could be heard for q mile in every
direction The COWS were blown many
feet into the air. and not a single one
Of the herd escaped"
Note The artistic touch the CORE
spondent gets into his story at the
start He places the number Of de-
stroyed COWS at thirteen. Right there
he gives himself the best of it. People
who might not believe that three or
four or twenty-four cows would eat
dynamite viii eagerly swallow the tale
because il involves the fatal number l3.
The author modestly says the acct
dent was one OF the strangest on rec
ord. 1t was not one of the strangsst;
il was the very stTangest that ever
came to pass, even in a fertile imagina-
ton The story goes that the COWS,
while browsing mid pastures green,
strayed near point where some labor
ers, engaged in blasting for railroad
cut. had carelessly left a number OF
sticks of dynamite.
Perhaps the. bovines mistook the
sticks for ears of corn; perhaps they
were simply after a lick of saltpetre.
Whatever the cause of their investiga-
ton. it will never be known, for the
cows are not in condition to give ex-
pert testimony. Before they had eaten
more than a stick or two OF it the
stuff exploded, and the poor beasts
emulated their famous ancestor, who
leaped over the orb of night. the diff
ference being that they made their as
cension in sections.
There are a few touches in the Al
toona story which seem amateurish.
For instance, there is no record of a
shower of milk in that section OF Penn
sylvania; no farmers picked up porter
house steaks in their barnyards. On
the whole, though, there is much prom
Use IL the work: so much promise, in
fact, that one is inclined To weep be-
cause so great light is hidden under
the Altoona bushel.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-08-15

world applauded them. The time has
come now for all those who are inter
ested in the development of South AZ
RIGA to join hands in the work.
No progress can be made If Mr.. Kru-
ger persists in his efforts to foment
discord- Naturally he feels sore. but
he need not be peevish. People cannot
fail TO remember that Kruger escaped
from South Africa with a whole skin
and a well filled treasure chest. The
moment danger to himself seemed i'm
minent he boarded waiting vessel
and hied himself away TO life of lux
ury and ease.
His country was left to shift for it
self Botha. Delarey and Dewet had
as favorable an opportunity TO escape
as did Kruger, but they remained be-
hind. With unparalleled bravery and
devotion. they continued for many
months the fight against British DOM
ination. The peace terms show the
value of their work. Had they followed
the example of Kruger their country
men might today be hunted outlaws
instead OF burgher farmers.
Ihey can accept the hospitality OF the
English without the surrender of one
iota of their self-respect- When Ad-
miral Schley sunk the Spanish fleet off
Santiago and captured Admiral Ger
vera, that gallant seaman was brought
to this country. This nation was at
war with his nation. but his imprisen-
nent was only nominal. and he was ac-
corded every mark of esteem. The
Spaniard suffered no loss of self-re-
spect by this.
The cases arc not parallel, either.
Botha, Delarey and Dewet are going to
England as guests of the nation, not
prisoners. They go to shake the hands
of the men who conquered them, as
brave men all over the world shake
hands at the end Of the fight. Kruger
only makes himself ridiculous when he
grumbles about it. and he should re-
ceive no consideration whatever.

WHERE THANKS ARE DUE.

Now THAT MOST Of the visitors
NAL festivities are over, salt Lake
may be pardoned for a little RETROSPECT
tion and felicitation over the way the
Eiks we're entertained.
To be sure. there never was such q
Eood-natured crowd for guests any
where as the Elks have been. They
have smiled at the disc0mf0rts newt
able on such occasions: they have even
forgiven the few sharks who made
money out Of the necessities of invited
friends. and they have done more than
their share toward the general effort to
provide a good time.
sThat an inland city of this size, dis
tant from sources OF supply and IN
accustomed to the entertainment OF
such throngs. should have been sue
ecsssuI in this undertaking is matter
for consratulation. Those who real
lied best the difficulties Of the task
were most apprehensive of the result:
and even the most saEguine believer in
salt Lakes ability expected more
cause for complaint than arose.
The comparative ease with which
this has been done should be a stimu-
lus 90 the civic pride and public spirit
Of every resident OF salt Lake 1t
demonstrates the citys capacity for
entertainment when united effort is
made Under intelligent direction; and
IL shows that there are progressive
men In the community who are willing
20 sacrifice both time and money for
the promotion of the public good.
\ special vote of thanks is due to
the Eiks for securing the convention:
90 Chairman J. c. Leary and his COM
mittee, who are largely responsible for
the success OF the entertainment; and
To the Individual members and officers
of the local lodge who have literally
abandoned their own business that the
reputation of the city might be upheld
and its pledges to the Milwaukee con-
vention fulfilled

REST IN THE ROCKIES.
Eastern Society Paper Discusses the
Charms of the West.

The following, from an eastern So
ciety Journal, contains illusions 10 Salt
Lake City that will probably interest
our readers:
Americans who spend the summer in
western resorts are growing every
year This season the influx is. greater
than ever, more particularly from the
great cities Of the east. Many are
finding their way into the blissful,
dreamy regions of the Rockies. Great
Salt lake and the Yellowstone park,
where, however, the accommodations
for visitors are somewhat limited for
two or three months, or when the sea-
son is at its zenith.
The region of the Rockies is just the
place for those whose nerves are shat
tered, whose rest is disturbed and
bodies and minds wearied by the strain
of life in great and restless cities.
There are tourists, of course. who ex-
pect to rough it in the. cottage and
unfrequented hotels of some of the
smaller towns, but Americans, accus-
toned as they are to the most lux
urious forms of hotel life. sometimes
find the lack of the usual resources of
civilization rather trying.
Speaking of hotels. probably no bet
ter ones can be found anywhere today
than in that portion of the country
known as The Great West" Denver.
Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City and
I California; These hotels can vie with
any eastern hostelry extant. Superbly
arranged with every comfort and con-
venience. even palatial in their APP
pointment. they index the marvellous
Transformation of an unknown CONT
nent and indicate the strenuous energy
of the American race.
Apropos of hotel life. the same condi-
tions apparently exist in the west as
in other parts of the world. You may
meet the prude rnatron or the fiirt, the
severe Puritan and the nonchalant
roue, the parvenu and the we'll bred
in fact. all who have summer means
to butterfly the time away; but the
most dangerous element is the married
person who, taking advantage of his
or her mates absence, INDUCES in
holiday firtations.'
This recalls an incident that was not
unobserved in one of the Utah hotels
a few years ago. where q manufac-
| turer's agent-a married man-took ad-
vantage of his wife's absence to lay
siege To young woman staying at the
same place. and who only escaped his
! fiattery and snares by a miracle This
creature is mentioned as being the
type unfortunately not uncommon at
| boarding hotels.
The pleasures of the west, however,
are not easily imagined. Denver and
Colorado Springs are transformed for
four or 1ve months in the year from
the savagery of a few years ago to the
sounds of mirth and innocent revelry
amid mountain and plain.
Great Salt lake, one of the narvels
| of creation, has a fascination no other
| spot possesses. This famous inland
sea. spreading its balmy air over the
beautiful Wasatch mountains. recuper-
ates all who seek it's influence. Well
might Father Escalante declare it the
climate of all climates"
