WHY UTAH WANTS STRIP
An Utah Newspaper Tells of the Richness of the Section North of the
 Colorado River

A year ago the Mining Review was
 strongly in favor of adding to the area
 of Utah by the acquisition of the small
 portion of Arizona that is cut of from
 the rest of Arizona territory by the
 Grand Canyon of the Colorado. This
 "strip" as it is termed, lies south of
 and adjoins Washington and Kane counties in the southwestern portion
 of Utah. The yawning And almost
 impossible canyons of the Colorado practically isolates this portion of Arizona from the balance of that com monwealth. To all intents and pur- poses it is part and parcel of Utah,
 and tributary to this state alone; and, in everything but loyalty and the pay ment of taxes, has hardly any more to do with the major portion of Arizona than it has with Mexico or Texas. As a matter of fact, the people of Kane and Washington counties dominate this portion of Arizona, and it is through these counties that the "strip" is accessible to the outside world. It is of but little value to Arizona, but it would be a desirable acquisition to Utah, as the country is resourceful, we'll mineralized, and settled, though sparcely, by industrious and peace able class of citizens.
 With the building of the proposed Salt Lake-Los Angeles railroad, this isolated and almost inaccessible sec- tion will be brought within quick and desirable touch with Utah's metropo- lis. With this condition apparent, the question of attaching the strip" to Utah is attracting more and more attention. The people of southwestern Utah are urging this acquisition, it is said that the strip" people desire the annexation, and the state, as al whole, is beginning to see the advan- tage of such an extension to our south ern boundary line, and, to such an ex- tent has this sentiment grown that the state legislature, now in session, has taken the matter up, and has appoint ed two commissioners to confer with the Arizona legislature on the propo- sition of ceding the strip" to Utah. The commissioners named are Rep- Joel H. Johnson, of Kane and Representative David H. Morris, of Washington county. These gentlemen left last week for Arizona's capital, and it is to be hoped that they will be successful in their mission. = Salt Lake Mining Review.

Letter to Me-. A. Jaeger.
Monroe City, Mo.

Dear Sir: If you want your
paint to last as long as that of
other house owners in your town
is going to last, you should use
lead and zinc.
You eau mix your own, or buy
Devoe, as you like. The results
will not be the same, however.
Devoe Ready Paint is ground in
oil and thoroughly mixed. Ma
chinery does it. Hand-work
can't compete with machine
work, either in cost or thor
oughness. Mixing by hand is
imperfect mixing; and zinc is
peculiarly hard to mix; wants
grinding.
Lead and oil is honest paint;
but less durable. Lead is ten.
der and zinc is tough. The
proper mixture ground togeth.
err is better than either alone.
french painters use zinc alone;
but American painters think it
too hard, and mix it with lead.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Happy a man may pass his life

The Blood

The blood is life. We derive from the blood life, power, beauty, and reason, as the doctors have been say ing from time immemorial. A healthy body, a fresh appearance, and gener- all, all the ab lities we pof 8 ,ss depend on that source of fife. 1t is therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood as pure and norma as pos sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has given us thermometer indicating the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of it's impurty. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any atten- tion, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lass tude, sleeplessness, are gen erally sign that the blood is not in its normal state, but is filed with noxious substances. These symptoms deserve our full attention If more at tention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to remove .hem, then many illnesses from which we suffer would become unknown, and the human body would become stronger and healthier. Attention therefore should be paid to those warning signs, and the blood can be purified and poisonous substances removed from it hy the use of Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

SAFES FOR THE-HOME.
Cunningly Hidden, Even From the
 Eyes of Servants.


 The clumsy safe which formerly held the precious stones and documents of the wealthy has practically been abol- ished in the homes of those who can afford to keep abreast of the times ih such matters, and in its place have been introduced curiously wrought places of concealment which the pro fessional burglar would have great difficulty in finding. A little secrecy has been found to be worth more than q foot of chilled steel. The old fash toned home or office safe is direct in vitaton to n burglar He knows that the diamonds, jewclry and spare cash ana valuable documents are kept there. Otherwise, why have q safe in the home? There is hardly a man who does not at come time have considera- ble valuables in his home which he must intlust to his private safe.
 The most ingenious method of mod ern safe builders is to construct re- ccptacle for valuables in the walls. floor or ceilings of the house. The work is as ingenious as it is effective. An expert examines the different parts of room selected for the purpose and finally hits upon place where conceal ment can be made the most effective. A square of couple of feet or more Is taken out of the plaster, and chilled steel safe is made to fit in the hole thus made. The inside of the safe is lined with plush for holding diamonds and precious jewels. and there are compart- ments for bills and valuable docu- ments. When fitted in its niche in the wall, ceiling or floor, the most ingen- ious part of the contrivance is then made by an expert. The opening of tho safe door is made so carefully that 1t appears as if the side of the wall moves outward as if by magic. The spring which controls the mechanism is often concealed in the picture molding or cornice some distance from the safe itself. ..t+s
 To make it doubly sure so that no one would accidentally touch the spring and reveal the hidden safe, with it's treasures, there is usually second spring. The first one consists chiefly in removing a small piece of the mold ing or wooden base of the rim, and this discloses nothing but bare surface of wood. A little examination will show, however, that this wooden surface is divided into little square lines. One of these squares holds the second hidden spring. By pressing 1t in certain way 1t will spring open the door of the safe, located probably half dozen feet away Consequently if workmen or servants should accidentally knock off the piece of holding or wooden base which reveals the second spring the secret would still be intact.-Philadel- phia Ledger.
