One part of our country browns
while another burns. Is it not strange
that we do so little to prevent calam-
tiles which sweep away our properties
and our lives? asks Golfers Weekly.
Until The need becomes extreme, it is
dliicult to procure laws for the gen.
cral good when they conflict with the
desires of many individuals. Much
the same steps would reduce floods
that would reduce droughts, and con-
sequently fires. Forests are admitted
ly storers and distributors of dampness
yet we, whose country is so much the
prey of fire and flood, have forestry
laws far inferior TO the forestry laws Of
many foreign countries. At the rate
at which destruction now exceeds re-
placing, the whole supply of forests, IL
Is calculated, will disappear IN an
other generation, Whether this es-
innate is exaggerated or not, the TACT
that we destroy much and replace lit
tie is un1oGbted. There is a pressing

Factory viii Be Built.

The REPUBLICAN Is in possession
of such information that IL can and
does state that sugar factory will be
built at Lewiston. There are no ifs,
ands, or butts about 1.-THE factory
will be built, and the people of that
community can rest assured that such
Is the case.
There is little inside history in
cident to the recent dispute between
Mr.. Nibley and Mr.. Eccles which we
are not at liberty to make public at
the present time.
However, the history of the deal is
of little consequence since the matter
has been settled so satisfactorily TO
the Lewiston people, and they are to
be congratulated on securing such an
addition to their commercial inter-
ests. The factory located there
should prove very advantageous to
the community and of course the en-
tire county will be benefited. With
out unkind feeling toward the Logan
factory or Mr.. Eccles, we can all re-
joice in the location of another indus
try in the county.
1t is to be hoped that the warning
factions will settle down to business
and make things hum. Enough beets
can be secured for the Logan factory
and of course the Lewiston factory Is
in position TO command even more
of the product than is necessary. The
fields big enough for the two fac
tories and they are far enough apart
that dangerous clashes need never be
part of Cache Valley history.

There is one more law that should
be placed upon the statute books of
Utah, and that Is to compel the SUI
preme judges to render decisions with
in certain length Of time after cases
have been submitted or tried before
them. There is a time limit placed
upon district judges, but this is of
such duration that IL is Of little value.
District judges should be able to rem
der decisions from the bench in at
least half the cases that come up be-
fore them, and no case should require
more than months consideration.
Yet IL is a notorious fact that district

Many people believe that inasmuch
as the city will be doing business on
borrowed capital, it would be better
TO buy the Hercules system at any
figure That is not deemed outrageously
high, but these are met with the
assertion that the city cannot pay a
good price TO get rid Of competition
for the reason that there would not
be money enough left to complete
the plant. The city has contracts
with half the light users of the city,
but 1t can hardly be denied that even
though the plant be finished, the city

From all over the country come re-
ports of lock-jaw caused by toy pistols,
and the latest is that the tenth
Cleveland boy has succumbe1 to that
terrible disease. If the boys must
have some kind of shooting-iron, give
them the real thing. The result will
be no more harmful and the end will
come quicker and with less pain.
And then think of dying from the use
of toy pistol. It's like a soldier
going to war with the expectation Of
having bis head taken off by cannon
ball, and dying of malaria instead.

Denver Field and Farm pertinently
says that the farmer who has to strain
a little to build good barn and
comfortable house on his farm will
come out better and get along with
less worry than the one who strains
a whole lot to buy another tract of
land and lives in the same old shack
and let's his stock and tools stand out
side. More thorough work on the one
farm Is better than good deal of
grunting on some other farm. Figure
on how much time must be wasted in
going back and forth every day for a
year before buying a second place a
half mile or a mile distant from head
quarters" Wonder what this excellent
paper would say to such conditions as
exists here where the farmers all live
in town and must 60 from three to
ten miles when they want to do little
work on their farms?

Judges the state over take just about
the time they please and seldom rem
der a decision under month and
from that to six months, the limit.
The Supreme Judges are even worse
and if decision is given within a
year, those interested are indeed
fortunate. We don't want the dignity
knocked out of anything, but do be-
lieve the interests of the people de-
mand change in such matters.

h The cyclone seems to have swept all
the line islands at the same time,
and severe shock of earthquake was
felt at the island of Navo. The islands
of Ravahere and Marokau were swept
completely, not house remaining,
while some hundreds of natives lost
their lives at the latter place At Ia
kuma two large villages were destroy
ed. Fifteen persons were drowned the
same number losing their lives at Ra-

loss of life here is estimated at over
400. Grave fears are entertained of
the safety of several schooners which
were in the group at the time. Up to
February no news af them had been
received at Papeete. Over 80 pearling
cutters were lost at Hikewia.
In some islands the people saved
themselves by climbing cocoanut trees,
remaining in them from six to eight
hours. AT Hikewia, where the greatest
loss of life took place, the sea rushed
across in torrents, carrying away all
the houses. Those who took to the
cocoanut trees were for the most part
saved, among them being Charles
Palmer, the only European to escape
out of nine on the same side of the la
COON. 1t was piteous in the extreme to
hear above the roar of the wind and
the sea the cries of children as they
were torn from the arms of their par
ents. Twenty or thirty natives were
washed across the lagoon, and mirac-
ulously escaped death, being thrown

PROPOSED Legislation
ABOUT FIRE INSURANCE
e.. Bishop Points Out the Danger of interior
ing With the Present Form
of Policies.

York, and which has been adopted by
perhaps a dozen other states in the
Union. What is fair contract in New
York. where the state maintains a reg
ular Insurance Department for the
sole purpose OF investigating insurance
matters and protecting the public.
would seem a proper form Of contract
fer this Territory.
Insurance policies, il is true. appear
very formidable in their wording, and
il may be said that they TEEN with
exceptional and restrictive clauses
that. on their face, all appear to favor
the company and be against the assur-
ed. but underwriters have. by bitter
experience, found this to be neces-
Sary; and these very restrictions are
protection to every community, as well
as the underwriters. Few people tn
sure for the purpose OF burning out.
and 1t is safe to say that even the well
insured dread a fire. Therefore. the
restrictions of fire insurance policies.
prohibiting explosives and limiting the
quantity of hazardous material that
may De stored on the premises are a
protection to the community I'm gem
eral.
AS to the bill pending. on its facesit
perhaps bears the stamp OF being a
boon to the assured, but I can assure
you. Mr.. Editor, that IL it becomes a
law. it will prove the reverse. Under
writer's will hardly be inclined to take
the risks where the law precludes their
making a contract that protects both
parties. In my opinion, and 1 speak
only as an individual, one of two things
will happen if the bill becomes a law,
viz:
First-Rates will be advanced abnor-
nally to cover the increased hazard; or
Second4-The companies will withdraw
from the Territory for the reason that
the laws are such that the business OF
insurance cannot be conducted on con-
servative lines. There is, believe, an
established precedent where the latter
course has been pursued.
II the Legislature will confine their
efforts to the innumerableAcrying neces-
stiles of public needs, think that the
community can safely be depended up
on to attend to their own private affairs
in a private way. and determine for
themselves just how private contracts
shall be drawn. e. F. BISHOP.

Editor Advertiser: Senate Bill No. SIS,
introduced by Senator Cecil Brown,
reads as follws:
SENATE BILL NO s5.
IAN Act Relative to Insurance Policies:
Section l. No policy of insurance
shall be rendered Invalid by reason of
any statement. representation or war
renty made by the insured unless the
same shall be material to the risk, or
made with intent to defraud.
Sec. 2. No policy OF insurance shall
contain any condition. provision or
agreement which shall directly or in
directly deprive the insured or the
beneficiary of the right to trial by jury
on any question OF fact arising under
said policy, and all such conditions,
provisions or agreements shall be
void"
This bill is short and apparently to
the point. OstensibIy, it saves the COM
munity the trouble of reading their
insurance policies, and is supposed to
guarantee payment of policies ire
spective Of the restrictions, exceptions
and conditions that are common to the
usual form of insurance policies.
A policy of insurance is contract
between private parties, and just why
legislation should be aimed at the
terms and conditions of such a private
contract, fail to see. Why not have
Legislation to define just how building
and other contracts shall be drawn?
The judicial mind that framed this
bill may be clear as to the intention,
but it is not clear on the face OF the
hill. 1t is, perhaps, intended to fix
things so that loss will be payable,
irrespective of the cause; it also may
be intended to save our overworked
judicial tribunals the trouble of inter-
preting the meaning of the various
clauses of policies, when insurance
cases come before them for adjudica-
ton.
The form of policy used here, gener-
ally. is what is known as the New
York State FORM" that is, form pre-
scribed by the laws of the State of New
