Yours truly,

w. .. THOMAS.
In the article referred to, Mr.. Lyons
alluded to the possibility OF the COM
pany suspending the manufacture of
one or more OF the machines in the
combine, thus saving the cost Of carry.
ing lot of attachments and repairs
for half a dozen different implements
while a single set will answer for the
one machine it finally adopts.
In the Implement Age of April q,
1908, appeared the following notice
which shows there was foundation for
the inference of Mr.. Lyons:
"wILL NOW DISSOLVE.
The Warder, Bushnell s. Glessner
! Co., have reduced their capital from
So, 100000 to 100000, preliminary to
fnal dissolution. Last week they
received the opinion of Judge Thomp-
son of the United States COURT at
Cincinnati dismissing the suit for
infringement brought by Mr.. William
n. Whitley"
This is the division Of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company that manu-
factures the Champion; when 1t dis
solves what are the owners Of that
machine to do for repairs, when every
machine repaired willpreventperhaps,
the sale OF one of the machines 1t still
manufactures.
Another paragraph from the Age
shows that the president Of the Cham
pion division is investing his millions
in other enterprises, which is as
follows:
''ELECTRlC RAILWAY LINES.
Hon, Asa s. Bushnell is rapidly be
coming an important factor In the
electric-railway world. He has pur..
chased the Springfield Xenia line, and
will operate it In connection with the
line to Plqua and Sidney. A new
power house, costing s226,o00, will be
located here"
i Perhaps the. Harvester Company
knows which of the fivs machines
that entered the trust it will continue
to manufacture and for which it will
keep and maintain full aad complete
supply of the extras needed so that
the farmer can continue its use till
worn out. Every man is entitled to
his guess, but be assured i.is all guess,
fwurk.

The Oldest Trade Secrets.

The two oldest secret trade processes
now in existence are considered to be
the manufacture of Chinese red. or
vermilion, and the method of inlaying
the hardest steel with gold and silver,
which seems to have been practiced
at Damascus ages ago and is known
only to the Syrian smiths and their
pupils even to this day.

as an anonymous Christmas present.
I Atherton spent $50 for a gold bracelet
aud shipped it to the owner of the
poodle. He did not know her name. sc
he addressed it to Miss --, II Adams
avenue. N, n. Y. AS soon as this waf
attended to he took the invalid to the

''For what place shall buy the tick

If such a problem had batfled the as
surances of two ensigns in the United
States navy they would not have been
worthy to serve their country. They
decided to meet the enemy at once and
pushed on to y Adams avenue. There
they found Miss Floyd puzzled over a
gold bracelet she had just received by
express. On seeing her cousin she for
got everything else than him till she
caught sight Of his chum; then she
stood stock still and stared. He was
handsomely dressed, but not sufficient
ly changed to prevent recognition.
''It seems that we have met before"
she said, changing her manner.
"Indeed?" said Atherton, with feign-
ed surprise. "Oh. yesi You

DANGER IN BoNFIREs.

IN ITS LOCAL NEWS COLUMNS
The Herald yesterday called atten-
ton TO the ordinance which prohibits
the burning of dead leaves except be
tween the hours of o'clock in the
morning and u O'clock noon. The only
rational objection that can be raised to
the ordinance IS that it does not entirely
prohibit the burning OF dead leaves.
The practice is a nuisance at any time
during the day. It is not only a nui-
sance, Il is positively dangerous to life
and property.
OF course it is true that the easiest
way to get rid Of the dead leaves is 70
make bonfres OF them. There IS prob
ably no method by which the practice
can be done away with. For the leaves
TO be raked or swept into great piles
and then carted away to the city Gre
matory for consumption would involve
the expenditure Of a good deal Of time
and some money. Nevertheless, this is
what should be done with the leaves.
While we are waiting for the reform
20 be inaugurated we can at least insist
on a rigid enforcement of the ordinance.
This business Of starting leaf bonfres
at any hour of the day. filling the air
with smoke and ashes and the pungent,
acrid odor must be prevented. II the
evils named were all we might bear
them with patience. But they are not
all. by any means.
Hardly q fan passes that does not
contain in it's history the story of the
burning TO death OF one or more chill
dren. They are nearly always little
girls who play around the bonfres until
their clothing becomes ignited. Rarely
is an adult at hand with presence OF
mind SUFFICIENT to save the child. Al
most invariably the only onlookers are
children and before help reaches the
sufferer she is fatally burned.
Such accidents have happened time
and again in salt Lake, and thew are
almost invariaB-g due 20 the leaf bon
fires. Another s-ature Is the danger TO
property. With ordinary care this is
rather remote. but the lack Of care that
makes possible the death Of a child also
makes possible the destruction of prop
erty. No bonares should be permitted
unless they are carefully watched by
some competent individual The mo-
ment their purpose is accomplished
they should be extinguisned to the las.
spark.

The attempt Of our contemporary to

IL fl devoted itself entirely 90 a dis
Fussi0n Of local issues. The voters Of
Salt Lake City are concerned about
local issues only this year. They know
very well that the men who are to be
elected a week from next Tuesday
could not, if they would. have a voice
i'm the conduct OF the national govern
ment.
BY no stretch of partisan imagination
is il possible TO believe that the Hexs
city administration viii have a voice
i'm anything except city affairs. While
The Herald does not believe in making
political issues where there are no po-
htical issues, while it holds that the
sole qualification in the election OF
municipal officers should be the fit-
ness of the candidates, a challenge
seems TO have been made, and we pro-
pose to pay some attention to it.
Tt is set forth by the Republican
organ that the only people who are fl
to administer the city's affairs belong
10 the Republican party. Recent his
tory by no means justihes this as
sumption. For four years the RepUb-
Hcan party has been i'm control OF Salt
Lake City. So unsatisfactory has been
jas rule that a Republican city conven-
lion singled out it's mayor for en- %
dorsement and was absolutely silent
about every other branch of the gov
eminent its people controlled.
And a point was strained in the en-
d0rsement Of the mayor. too for we
defy him or any of his representatives
tc point out a single piece Of legisla-
uCn originated by him for the benefit
of the city; we challenge him and we
challenge the Republican organ to cite
"a single instance in which he initiated
a plan whereby the citys water sup
ply would be increased or improved.
The record Of the Republican mayor
is not one to which his party can
honestly point with pride and the rec
ord Of the Republican council is so
much worse that even the party con
ventiOn could not endorse it. Now,
isn't IT an exhibition Of cold nerve for
