saved. Fire is still raging in the lum-
Der yard, which contains 100000 feet
of lumber.
The buildings, machinery and mater.
ial that escaped are valued ut $1,000

EXCITEMENT AT GOLDEN.
Everyone Taking an Interest In the
Oil Boom.

Golden, Colo, Feb. S.-tDenver Re
publican Special)-The Denver Basin
OIL and Da%velopment Company sustain
ed quite 4 loss during the heavy wind
storm Wednesday night. The derrick,
which had attained a height of seventy
two feet, was blown over and entirely
wrecked. New timbers We're imme-
diately ordered and work has already
commenced on the erection of a new
derrick.
1t is reported that from twenty to
thirty derFicks will be put up during
the next few weeks.
People are greatly excited over the
prospects of finding oil in Jefferson
county. and not II day passes that does
not bring many strangers seeking Op-
lions on prospective oil lands. Farm
ers owning land in what is considered
the oil belt are now looked upon as
bloated capitalists, and some of them
have that feeling, demanding an exor-
bitant cash price for property they
would gladly have sold for a few dol
lars an acre two months ago. Nearly
everybody is taking n little flyer in
oil stocks. The county clerks force is
working overtime recording deeds and
options while the county treasurer is
kept on the jump figuring redemptions
from old tax sales on what was consid-
cred worthless property.

Professor Pearson will be Asked to
Resign.

Chicago. Feb. T.-Professor Charles
w. Pearson will be asked to resign
from the faculty of the Northwestern
University, the Tribune says, If the
report of the committee appointed to
investigate his case is accepted by the
executive committee of the board of
trustees.
The decision was reached, according
to the Tribune, after a two hours ses-
sion behind closed door last night.
The report, in substance, it is said,
will declare that Professor Pearson
has transgressed the rules of proprie-
ty in openly declaring the fallibility of
the Bible while occupying a chair in
an institution supported mainly by
contributions from members of the
Methodist Church; and that he should
seek n chair in some liberal institution
where he would be at liberty to preach
any doctrine he might desire.
Professor Pearson. when informed
of the verdict of the trial board, de
clined to discuss the matter.
On previous occasions, however. the
professor has declared that he would
accept the verdict of the trustees with
out n murmur. He has said further he
would not stay where he was not
wanted.

LET BOYS BE CAREFUL.

T HE HERALD has no desire what
ever 70 interfere with the pa
triotic demonstrations OF the Salt Lake
small boy, but it would suggest that
parents exercise a careful supervision
over the youngsters to see that they do
not injure themselves or anybody else.
Boys are healthy young animals. With
the best intentions in the world they
are frequently careless of other peoples
feelings and comfort. Some of them
have a habit of throwing firecrackers
under the feet of women, not only caus-
ing them nervous shocks, but placing
them in grave danger of being seriously
burned.
Yesterday a young woman was pain
fully injured by the discharge of a toy
pistol in the hands of a careless boy.
That she did not lose an eye was due
more TO rare good fortune than to any
thing else. Another danger in the boy
ish celebrations of independence day
is the danger from fires. The lads are
almost certain to gather with their fire
works at points where it is easiest to
start blaze. Perhaps little admoni-
ton from their parents may prevent
serious casualties.
Let the boys celebrate, by all means,
but let them also keep their exuber-
ance within due bounds.

MR.. DooLEY, PHILOSOPHER.

NEXT SUNDAY The Herald will be-
~ gin the exclusive publication in
Salt Lake of a new series of talks by
that most famous of all the latter
day philosophers, Mr.. Dooley. This
Icvable Irishman's wit and humor are
famous around the world. Fun-loving
people in many lands have smiled at
his quaint comments on public men
and affairs, though, at the same time,
they have appreciated the fact that be-
meath the humor lay a keen appre-
citation of the shortcomings with which
Mr.. Dooley deals.
The author of the Dooley letters, or,
rather, they are not letters, but con-
versations wsCh Mr. Dooley's friend,
Hennessy, is Mr.. Finley Peter Dunno,
who is now recognized as one of the
most original humorist lin the United
States--and that means in the world.
In the few years since he began the
work, Mir. Dunno has made his name
known to English-speaking people
everywhere. He has, with Mr.. Dooley
as his mouthpiece, commented on
everything worth commenting on, and
always in such a way as not only to
amuse, but to make his readers think.
The inexhaustible freshness of Mr..
DUNES work is at once source of
admiration and of wonder. Dooley is
never dull. There is alwayssa sparkle
in his words. crispness that attracts
and holds attention from the first line
to the last. The Herald feels that
nothing is too good for its readers, but
1T has special pride in announcing the
purchase of the publication rights on
the Dooley matter in this territory.
There are going to be a great many
other good things in next Sundays is
sue Of The Herald. and in every sue
ceeeding Sunday issue. It is only TAX
ing its readers into it's confidence when
it says that they are going to receive,
in the future, as they have in the past,
more for their money than is given BY
any other newspaper in the intermoun-
tain region.

MR.. EiTcHcocK's PLANS.

DEAL FRIENDS Of national irriga-
n ton Will join in hoping that Sec
rotary Hitchcock can be induced to
modify his published plans in reference
70 the first expenditures from the irri-
cation funds. 1t is announced that the
secretary is specially interested in
three large projects, one in Montana
and two in Arizona, which would in
volve the expenditure of large amounts
of money. and which are at least I'M
certain as regards lasting benefits.
Aside from the natural objection to
using all Of the irrigation funds for
number of years in specially favored
localities, there are other arguments
against Mr.. Hitchcock's plans. First,
he proposes to open up the ST. Mary's
canal in Montana at a cost of from
s3.50O00o to $7,000,OOO Inasmuch as the
water to fill this canal must be taken
from stream that flows some distance
through Canada, it is apparent that
international complications would be
almost certain. ~
The two Arizona projects have been
carefully considered, and at least one
of them has been rejected by COM
petent irrigationists as impracticable
because the waterway which might be
constructed would soon fill with silt
deposit which would make the canal
worthless. The faith of the west is
pledged on this subject of national ir-
rigation. Eastern opponents of the
measure made loud and doleful prophe-
cies of jobbery and fraud; eastern
friends were promised that nothing of
the kind would be permitted.
Undertakings such as Secretary
Hitchcock has under consideration
might furnish foundation for the
observation-disclosures to say, eve told you
So" Nothing that snacks of fraud or
favoritism must be permitted. 1t would
be far better for the west to have no
national irrigation at all than to have
a public scandal connected with it in
the beginning of its existence.
The best way to avoid such a scandal
is I , make haste slowly. Let the money
be divided among as many places as
possible. but always with due regard
TO the values to be obtained. Irriga-
sica works can be constructed at COM

OUR BEAUTIFUL CLIMATE

Y ESTERDAY WAS ONE of those
miserably dreary days which
providence occasionally inhicts on
those who are won't to boast of the
wonders of their climate. The wind it
blew and the dust it flew; the clouds
We're blue and so were You. unless you
happened to be a most pronounced OPP
tinist. Probably Salt Lake people are
given such days nov and then in order
TO make them appreciate their bless
ings. Lots OF residents of other states
would have considered yesterdays
weather ideal
They would have had picnics and
berrying parties and maybe a barbecue
and would have considered themselves
specially blessed by the weather dis
penser. Salt Lakers only kicked SOUL
fully and put in hours explaining to
cynical-minded strangers that gray
days in July with wind attachment
are as rare in Salt Lake as honesty in
a convention of burglars.
But at least one real cause for COM
plant existed. This was based on the
clouds of dust that the restless wind
spun in every direction. Houses were
filled with it, pedestrians wiped it out
Of their eyes. merchants were COM
PEELED 10 close their doors in order to
save their stocks from ruin, and the
discomfort was general and complete.
Much of the dust had no business ex-
listing.
If the streets had been properly
sprinkled during the last few days it
could not have existed. Enough money
is being spent of this department of the
public service to warrant the people in
expecting better results. The Herald
is well aware of the fact that il is
much easier to find fault than to suc-
gest remedies. but the fault in this in
stance is so obvious that it is a proper
subject for comment.
1t is well established scientific fact
that flying particles of dust are inim-
zeal to the public health. Disease germs
OF every character find abiding places
In the dirt atoms, and the wind carries
them, not only into dwellings, but into
the lungs of all who are forced to be
abroad in windy weather. Watchful
supervision of the sprinkling will re-
duce the danger from this source to a
minimum, and The Herald hopes that
the proper authorities will not hermit
repetition of yesterdays possibiH
ties.

paratively small cost so as to bring the
territory tributary TO them into fruit
ful service at once. The sale of these
irrigated lands will provide funds for
more work, and in a little time The in
come and the outlay will balance each
other.
1t will not do for any arid or semi
arid state to attempt to secure the bulk
of the appropria lions. Each state is
entitled to its share. provided it can
show that the public will be benefited.
No matter how the money Is distrib-
uted. there is going TO be some grum-
bling, but it is certain that there is no
surer way OF promoting discord than by
the plans which Secretary Hitchcock
is reported to be urging.
