ing the whole party took supper at Par
adise Farm.
Milton Harlan, editor of the Steven
son Pioneer, was in Hood River Tuesday
in the interest of the Chas. r.. Spencer.
Bro. Harlan is certainly strong parti-
san of the opposition steamer, and is
doing everything possible to a steady
place for it in the estimation of the
people. He left satisfied with the atti.
tude of our people, though, having good
reil service, Hood River is fortunately
not SO dependent ON the good behavior
of a single boat line as is Stevenson.
Mr.. Harlan secured the pledges of the
Stevenson people to patronize the Spen-
Ger, and visited also Carson, Collins
and White Salmon.
Tuesday the Bailey Gatzert was put
on against the Chas. r. Spencer. The
latter made four stops before reaching
Cascade Locks, while the Bailey made
none; nevertheless the Spencer reached
Stevenson first, where she was warmly
greeted with three cheers. The Spencer
was handicapped by crack in her
steam chest, necessitat!ng decreased
speed, but on today's up-trip she ex-
pected to be provided with new cast
ing, which will allow her TO make about
four miles an hour more. II the Bailey
does no better than she did Tuesday the
Spencer will be able to make all the
stops and still beat her competitor into
The DalIes.

INACCURATE THERMOMETERS.

THE BLIND FAITH with which most
1 people regard their thermometers
s-fl be rudely disturbed If an editorial
that appeared recently in the Medical
News attains general circulation. And
It should attain general circulation,
too, for the Medical News makes out a
very strong case against TIE average
thermometer. 1t is a well known fact
that a half-dozen ordinary weather
thermometers in a druggists window
viii vary anywhere from to 6 degrees,
sometimes more.
Clinical thermometers Of the cheap
variety vary almost as widely. accord
ing to the authority quoted. Says the
News:
"A prominent hospital in this city
has scarcely recovered from the shock
OF a recent discovery made by the
members Of its house staff, namely
ihat the thermometers in regular use
IN its wards vary so much as TO render
valueless the temperature charts which
we'll trained nurses have been taught
&c regard as one Of their chief respOn-
sibilities. 1t is a rude awakening, in
deed. for a physician suddenly to be
made TO realize that he has been treat
Ing for fever patients who have M
fever. and that patients have been dis
charged as cured whose temperatures
we're far from normal"
IN the hospital referred to by the
Medical News actual tests showed diff
Ierences as great as two and fve-tenths
degrees. 1t is quite apparent that suct
inaccuracy is liable TO lead 90 all kind:
Of mischievous results. But the hos
pitals are not the only places where
inaccurate clinical Thermometers are
used. In practically every household

NEW IRRIGATION LAW.

Utah IRRIGATORS viii soon have
- an opportunity to observe the
workings of the irrigation law enacted
at the last session Of the legislature.
This law was framed by men who have
made a close study Of irrigation. They
put into it the fruits Of years OF labor
and it is their opinion that very vex-
atious problem has been solved
Whether or not their belief is well
founded, time alone can determine.
The new statute went into effect yes
terday. An immediate result Of this
wiz be a rush TO secure perfect water
titles. along much the same lines as
perfect titles are made 10 real estate
It has long been an axiom in the semi
arid west that land without water is
practically VaIueless- Yet far less at
tention has been paid to making good
titles and claims to water than to the
land reached by that water.
In Utah there has been no such thing
as an absolute, guaranteed title to
water. Usage has heretofore been ac-
cepted as law. Years Of undisputed
possession of enough water to irriga te
a certain amount Of land has generally
bEen understood to constitute a title
to the water. In few instances. how
ever. are such rights recorded. Irri-
gators have different ideas as to the
amount Of water they need.
A man high up on a stream may
have more than he can reasonably use
and often he allows it to run to waste
while crops below him are dying for
lack of moisture. The community OF
interests which should be present in
all well regulated farm districts has
been almost entirely absent. Disturb
ances have been numerous; men WIZ
should be good neighbors and good
friends have become enemies. jealousy

REVENUES OF A TRUST.

A n IDEA OF THE VASTNESS Of
4 the worlds greatest trust, the
United States. Steel corporation, is
gained from a series Of comparisons in
stituted by an eastern financial period
zeal in connection with comments on the
annual report Of the steel trust It IS
shown that only two Of the fOGr great
est nations in the world. the United
states. Great Britain. France and Ger
many. have incomes as large as the
income of the United States Steel cor
porauon. Only one Of these nations
has an annual surplus greater than the
surplus of the trust. The figures fol-
low:
Income. Expenditures.
Uaited States. S562, as 23 $471, 100, so
6reat Britain-------.- SOS 200, 200 S66'5os .S2
France --..-.---..--... 643. l0l,I42 O0,2l6
Germany $1,000. 4zl,y9l,79S 400, S4i'stb
Corporation .......- SIS. 937, 020 AS. $50 496
It win be seen that Great Britain and
France enjoy greater gross incomes
than the trust, and those nations alone.
However, Great Britain, France and
Germany spend more every year than
they receive. which is q habit also pos
sessed b.. certain Individual citizens Of
all nations under the san. Great Brit
aims deficit for the year covered by the
figures given above, 1902, was S27S, OO9,-
232; the deficit of France was 81, S92, 514
and Of Germany S27. SS4, 31S.
Of course. the steel trust is not in
business merely to help the world
along. 1t was organized for the pur-
pose OF making money. and it certainly
does make money. Notwithstanding its
enormous expenses, the trust closed the
year 1902 with profit of $50, 300, 524. The
surplus of the United States govern
ment for the same period was $91, 2S7,-
376. It viii be seen that we are still a
lap or so ahead OF the steel trust, but
there is no telling how long we viii be
able to maintain our advantage.
1t should be said that the figures Civ
en- above for the various governments
are based on strictly government bust
ness. postal. telegraph and railroad
business. Germany being engaged in the
/ last two named. The expenses cited in
clude the cost of the army, navy, pen
sions and interest on public debt. In
1902 the steel trust paid out $4,000 600
I in interest, which was S4,000,000 more
/ than the sum paid by Germany on that
account, and about $4,000, 600 less than
the fixed interest charges met by the
/ United States government.
It is stated that the total number OF
/ men employed in our army and navy is
100, OO0, They drew, in wages and al
Iowances and other expenses in 1902,
$780, 100000. The steel trust has 16S,127
] employees and an annual payroll of
more than s12O. 900 OOO- The United
! States paid out S18s, 400, O0O in pensions
/ in 1902, which is not much less than
the sum paid in wages by the United
! States Steel corporation. However, the
/ steel trust Is young yet. With a few
more years OF protection it should be
I able to show bigger receipts and bal
{ ances than all the nations combined.

The PEST OF DAHDELIONs.

VI ONT SOME SAVANT earn an in
w perishable name for himself by
coming forward promptly with a sure
method of graduating the pest of dan
deHons that is destroying the lawns Of
salt Lake City? For several years
householders have been fighting dande-
lions. Small boys have grown fabu-
lousy rich digging them up literally by
hundreds Of thousands, but this year
there are more dandelions than ever
before, and many citizens are about
ready to give up the battle.
We are told that the dandelion is a
well known plant that labors under the
scientific name Of 'Taraxacum ofticin-
ale, natural order Composite, having
a naked, Gstulous scape with one large,
bright-yellow flower, and a tapering,
milky. perennial root. 1t is found un-
der several forms over the whole of
Europe, central and northern Asia and
North America. The root has been
used as a substitute for coffee. It acts
as an aperient and tonic, and is es-
teemed in affections of the liver. The
seed of the plant is furnished with a
white pappus and is transported far
and wide by the wind
Thus, briefly, is conveyed some solid
information about a plant most of US
are entirely too familiar with We
4 have not used the roots as a substitute
for coffee knowingly. and as TO its
/ other medicinal possibilities we are
not prepared to say. We are of the
/ opinion, however, that the dandeliOn
/ causes more diseases of the liver than
/ ii cures. Isn't il enough to make a
/ mans liver turn a somersault when

I that his lawn has grown yellow with
