of Joseph Everett.

GATED FOR LESS THAN $40.
AMIiY IN DIRE DISTRESS

One of the most pathetic cases of
AFFECT poverty and actual distress
which has come under the notice Of
the board of health for years was
called TO its attention yesterday by
Fumigator r. F. Woodland. 1t is in
the family Of Joseph Everett, who
lives in a three-room house near the
corner Of Ninth South and Fifth West.
The family consists of Everett and
his wife, and three children. Last
SATURDAY. there we're five children. Two
Of them have died since then, Of diph-
iberia.
The furniture in the house can be
duplicated in any second hand store
for less than SO. 1t consists of bed,
stove. a few chairs and dishes, and
home made table. The bed has no
mattress or springs, the few blankets
owned by the family being laid upon
the stats.
When Fumigator woodland first Wis
ated the Everett home he found one
of the children, who has since died,
lying on the bed, the edges Of the
Stats working through the rough
blankets, Irritating the emaciated
body Of the little sufferer. One blanket
was under the child. and a torn and
soiled one over IL. In the kitchen. re-
posing on q DiankeI on the moor, was
the second child, who has since died.
All the provisions the family had in
the house yesterday were five pounds
of -four and large piece Of pork. The
fuel consists of little pieces of coal.
Mr.. Everett said he came to Salt
Lake from st. George last July. He
works when he can, his earnings ag-
gregating 81 per day when he finds
employment. For the past month he
has not been able to find anything to
do. His last job was on the News
building, where he received 81 per day.
His rent is s. per month.

CALIFORNIA; FUTURE.
It Promises More to Laboring Glasses
Than ANY Other Country.

1t is very difficult for one who has
not looked closely at its location and
extent TO appreciate the peculiar add
vantages of California. In latitude
it extends from the southern line of
South Carolina north TO the southern
line of Massachusetts, covering on tho
Pacific slope a corresponding coast line
extending inland on an average about
two hundred miles. Take the Atlantic
coast line covering the same width, ex-
anime il critically. and see what a hive
of industry and what an immense popu-
lation IS covered
Lay a similar area in the same lati-
tude in the Mississippi valley. running
from the northern line of Louisiana 10
the northern line of Illinois. and see
what an agricultural region it OH
prises. And yet California has mary-
notable advantages over either Of these
tracts. In variety and fertility OF soIl,
in climatic conditions, it stands far in
the lead.
It is true that some portions of the
state are untitled for the purposes OF
home making, but most Of these re-
gions are Of the nature of great natural
parks-breathing places for the multi
tudes who shall eventually make their
homes in this favored state.

MORE MONEY is ASKED

In their biennial report the board OF
directors Of the state insane asylum
recommend that the present law gov
erning that institution be changed in
many ways. They would like to see
il called mental hospital" instead of
insane asylum, . and desire that the
word insane not include "idiocy.,'

mind" Such people. the members of
the board think. should not be admitted
into the institution.
Under the caption recommends
tiOns." the board asks for the follow
ing appropriations for the next two
years:

Improvement and repairs. 5000
New buildings ................... 10000

purchase Of two new boilers,

Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $500, 900
The expenses of running the insti-
tuition during the past two years
amounted to S105. S64.1S. The appropri-
atoms made by the last Legislature
have not all been expended. After the
December. 1903, bills have been paid
there viii be a balance on hand of
about $23, 900.
During the biennial period the aver
age daily cost for the care and treat
ment of each patient was 32.7 cents
That is q slight increase over the cost
of the former biennial period due to
the subsequent advance in the cost of
provisions. The board found it impos-
sible to complete the two detached
wards with the $4,000 appropriated,
so an additional $4,000 is asked for.
At the close of the biennial period
there were $50 patients in the asylum
as against 314 two years ago. 1t is
anticipated that during the coming
period the number viii be increased
to 800, and. as the lstitution has a
capacity Tor only $50. it is urged that
the legislature not stint the board in
the use of funds to enlarge the asy-
lum.

The President Considers Them as
Recess Appointments, After
Comforting With Lawyers.

Washington Dec. 7. President
Roosevelt today sent to the Senate
the nomination of General Leonard
Wood to be major general of the
! army and The nomination Of IG7
other army officers whose promo
ton is dependent on that of Gen.
eral Wood. Accompanying these
nominations were those of about
20 civilian appointees, including
that of DR.. w. d. Crum for col
lector of the port OF Charleston,
5. G., and some members VIII on,
the President nominated in the
last recess.
These appointments are consid-
cred by the late President and his
advisers to be recess appointments,
the question of their status having
been discussed thoroughly by the
President with the best lawyers
connected with the administration
and in Congress. In conclusion,
it has been decided that between
the time of the falling of the gavel
on the extra session, signifying the
conclusion of the extraordinary
session, and the calling to order
OF the Senate in the regular ses-
sion of Congress, an appreciabIe
lapse of time occurred. In this
time the appointments technically
were made. They are regarded
by the administration as recess
appointments, and the appointees,
therefore, will receive tho paw and
exercise all the authority of the

ed.
