UTAH TEACHERS INSTITUTE

Hold an Interesting Spelling Contest
at Their Salt Lake Session.
About one hundred and fifty Utah
school teachers attended the insti-
tute held in Salt Lake last week. A
spelling contest occurred Tuesday af.
ternoon IN which the majority partici-
pated. Henry Pattengill of Michigan,
in an address on the practical methods
of teaching correct spelling, made the
point that there are many words which
are easily spelled and many others re-
quiring careful study. to demonstrate
the truth of which he called upon the
teachers to rise and informed them that
he would give out certain words he
wished each teacher to spell. Those
who failed ON word were to be seated.
The following fifteen words were

BUYING HORSES.
Canal Contractors Have Difficulty in
Hiring Men Enough.

Hiring Men Enough.
The E. B. & A. L. Stone Company
have had agents in Ormsby, Washoe.
Lyon and Churchill Counties for several
weeks looking for horses and teamsters
and laborers. They could use 800 head
Of horses now, and have been endeav-
oring to buy that many. Several car
loads have arrived. There is a scarcity
Of laborers and there is work for all
who come.
On the contract for reconstructing
the Central Pacific, Kilpatrick's bosses
said they had to handle 10000 men to
get the work of 700. On railroad con-
tracts the men had free transportation
coming in, ON the canal contracts they
have to pay their way or bum it, and it
is being proven that it will be hard for
the contractors to get anywhere near
the number Of men they desire. Wads-
worth Dispatch.

ARID LAND PLANT FOR NEVADA.
Canaigre Produces Ten to Twenty
Tons Under Favorable Conditions.

OF more than ordinary interest to the
people of this section of the intermoun-
tain country is the statement of agri-
cultural experts that canaigre can be
grown with great success on arid lands.
We are told that the roots contain more
than 80 per cent tannic acid. This is
upwards Of twice as much as is con-
tanned in the bark Of oak and hemlock.
1.-THE significant fact in the develop
ment Of canaigre," says a writer on the
subject. els that it makes its growth in
the Winter. Long before the annual
drouth in the extreme arid regions sets
in, the roots of this plant have matured.
1t is authoritatively announced that in
States to which it is adapted, canaigre
farming will meet the most sanguine
expectations of all who embark in the
enterprise. A crop may be counted on
absolutely every year."
Canaigre can be grown from either
seeds or roots. Because of the fact that
it grows in the winter it is not subject
to attacks by insects of any kind, and
when the hot days arrive all the farmer
has to do is to gather his yield. Under
proper methods of cultivation it is said
that from 10 to 90 tons per acre can be
produced. This finds a ready ma rket
at prices which make the yield Of
single year often much more valuable
than the land itself prior to the time
canaigre was introduced, says the Salt
Lake Herald.
IT the glowing promises held out in
this proposition can be made good, it
would be difficult to over estimate the
importance of canaigre farming to the
arid and semi-arid West. We know
that in many sections of Nevada, for
example, snow covers the ground dur
ing the Winter, and then runs off so
rapidly in the Summer that there is no
possibility of raising an ordinary crop.
Before wheat or oats or corn or any
similar product can reach maturity, it
is cut down by the hot sunshine.
Successful experiments in the culti-
vation of canaigre have been made in
Arizona on lands which resemble in
every particular land in Utah aud Me-
vada. now being used for nothing ex-
cept range purposes, and then only for
brief period in every year. The rails
ing of canaigre on such land would not
only be profitable industry, but it
would save the forests of oak and hem
lock now being denuded in the search
for tanbark, from complete destruction.

JAIL BREAK AT BELMONT
Two Prisoners Escape But They Are
Quickly Recaptured.
From Tonopah Miner Of October 10.

From Tonopah Miner of October 10.
Smith johnson, otherwise known as
"Black Texas" who is up for horse
stealing, and James Walsh, up for
breaking Jail at Tonopah. dug their way
out of the county Jail at Belmont last
Tuesday evening, but were recaptured
and put back in their cells the next day.
Deputy Sheriff Hollis went into the
cells occupied by the prisoners at 6:15
p. m. and on returning three-quarters
of an hour later found them gone With
the aid Of dirk knife and an axe with
out handle, which in some manner
had been smuggled in to them, johnson
and Walsh succeeded in digging
through an 18-inch brick wall and made
their getaway. This is not so surpris-
ing, however, when the brick is exam
ined. for it is very soft and an ordinary
pocket knife would do the work in a
comparatively short time.
When thelway was made clear, "Black
Texas" invited Walsh's partner, named
Martin; Frank Smith, who is awaiting
trial for the killing of Walter Dunn,
and E. M. Arandall, who were also in
the Jail, to go with himself and Walsh.
Each of these three refused, however,
and Smith and Martin tried to dissuade
johnson and Walsh from going, but
their efforts were fruitless. and the two
men started.
When Deputy Sheriff Hollis discov-
cred the two men were gone, he took
John McCann and Tom Logan with
him and they started after the Jail
breakers. johnson and Walsh were
careful in covering their tracks, taking
to the high and rocky ground, which
they believed would leave no trace of
their progress. The men after them
were shrewd trailers, however, and the
dislocation of a stone here and another
there enabled them to trace the prison.
ers until they came upon them Wednes-
day afternoon about twenty miles
northwest of Belmont.
When captured BLACK Iexas' ex-
claimed, "God Almighty" but Walsh
gave no verbal expression to his
thoughts. On being brought back.
"Black Texas" took all the blame for
the Jail break and expressed great re-
gret that he had gotten Walsh into
trouble.
Great credit is due Hollis, McCann
and Logan for the splendid piece of
tracking they did, but without horses,
the prisoners never had the ghost of a
show for getting away permanently.
On Tuesday afternoon before the Jail
break occurred, the County Commits
sioners inspected the Jail thoroughly
and found everything all right.

SHELTERS MANIPULATE PRICES
Said to Control the Market to Detri-
ment of Producers.

The manner in which the American
Smelling and Refining Company is
handling the lead situation in Colorado
is evidently not to the liking of the
Leadville Herald. In q recent issue,
this paper said editorially: "Some
months ago the smelters made "a the
basis of settlement for lead, but later
reduced the price to $3.50. 1t now ap-
pears that there is a steady advance in
the market price in New York, on Sep
tember 10. the selling figure being
marked up to $4.40, an advance of 30
cents. The last New York quotation
was $3.50. Thus far, however, no one
seems to be enjoying the advantage of
the advance, except the American
Smelling and Refining Company, which
practically controls the market. The
fact is, the stocks of lead. as well as of
silver are practically exhausted. The
annual report of the smelling company
contained the significant statement
that on April 80 it had no lead stock of
any Importance on hand. Under these
conditions an advance was inevitable.
It.also appears that the situation has
been aggravated by the closing down of
the Denver smelters. According to a
recent New York market letter the
scarcity of lead has created almost
panic among consumers. Small buyers
have been forced to pay as high as $4.60,
and there is no immediate likelihood of
relief. In the face of rising market
and great scarcity it is difficult to un-
derstand why the settling price to the
miner should remain at such low fig
ure. In March of this year the New
York price was $4.35 and the smelters
paid $500. After that it fell to $3 rs
on New York fall to 81. %. In June
there was reduction to s4.10 in New
York and lead fell here to $3.50. With
a restoration of price in New York
there is every reason to anticipate
hidden reasons why the American
Smelling Company does not desire to
stimulate Western production by per-
mitting the miner to share in tES ad-
vance. 1t is evident that at present,
with two smelters in Denver practically
closed an additional amount of ore
would simply be an embarrassment,a land
consequently the policy is to keep stocks
as low as possible. 1t is a significant
fact that the American Smelling Com
pany, while controlling the lead mar.
ket, has as yet not acquired firm hold
on it. 1t is likely to lose this control
by any heavy production, and possibly
the low price which prevails in the lead
regions of the West is part of a policy
of nursing to maintain the price for
future contingencies. The further fact
must be taken into consideration that
lead has already reached the importing
point, which enables the American
company and its auxiliary, the Guggen.
him Exploration Company. to bring in
Mexican and Chilean ores. The fact
remains that manipulative influences
are at work in the lead market, and so
far as the miner is concerned he holds
the sack"

Fell OFF One-half Per Cent.

NEW YORK. Sept. I2.-The stock
market just stopped short of absolute
stagnation. The dealings were on an
unusually small scale, even for a half
holiday session, and they were wholly
OF a professional character. There was
some steadiness 10 prices at the start,
but in a short time a sagging tendency
was developed. although the recessions
generally were confined to fractions.
st. Paul opened up y per cent. but
soon lost more than the gain. Atchison
declined a point Reading enjoyed
moderate rally. New York Central open
ed off y per cent, but subsequently rose
{. point. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was
almost the only feature of local trac-
tions. losing is per cent.
y sale OF Manhattan was made at a
decline of a point. In the industrisk list,
the United States Steel stocks showed
heaviness and Amalgamatcd Copper was
fractionally lower. Speculation was dull
with traders waiting for some motive
from the character of the bank state

Government bonds were unchanged:
railroad bonds quiet and steady.
The market sagged after the publica-
tion of the bank statement aud during
the last fifteen minutes sold of about
y per cent all around, closing soft.
