General Porfirio Diaz is serving his

He has been nominated for the

Of President Diaz, nor with his pollti.

years old. He has been active in pub.
lie life for over fifty years and when
reelected President in 1900, he plan
ned to resign before his sixth term
expired, so that under the COnstitu.
ton one of his cabinet might be ell.
ected President by Congress. Early
In 1902 IL was announced that Diaz
would retire from office when the
work OF the Pan-American congr, IS
had been completed or that he would
announce his determination not to
serve another term. This announce.
ment was received with as little IA.

cHAmaERLAlNs PRISON POLICY

|SFtfNWb bEhLhlN'o . FhioON FOLlIN
Governor Chamberlain has so far
succeeded in administering the affairs
of the Oregon state prison in a man
ner satisfactory to the public.
He had to put the institution into
order, install a new force of officials
improve its sanitary conditions and
make substantial changes for the bet
ter.
He had to accomplish these things
without harshness, and without pre-
tending to be able to reform every
thing in a minute, or TO get along
without mistakes.
His policy OF showing greater hu.
manity to the prisoners, improving
their conditions, making their cells
cleaner. giving them better food, and
less stringing up by the thumbs and
lashlng.
The governors recent utterance in
favor Of building more state roads,
and making less stoves. is on the line
Of humanity, and in the true interest
Of the taxpayer
Convict labor, at S5 cents a day, to
enrich private corporation, has been
about the extent OF legislative wisdom
on this subject. The governor says
take these men out, and let them build
some good state roads.
The governor has not been accus.
toned to making any changes in the
prison for political reasons. Some of
the Republicans who quit asked TO be
relieved, or they would be there to
this day.
Republicans put in by former ad.
are still kept on the
payrolls. on all these lines the gov.
ernor has shown a progressive spirit,
and deserves public commentator.

prise Which Will Rival {. F,&I.

Among other matters that have been
claiming the attention Of Vice President
j. Ross Clark Of the San Pedro, Los
Angeles & Salt Lake during his stay in
Salt Lake Is the proposition to build
a branch road from Lund to tap the
iron and coal fields Of southern Utah.
the objective point being Desert
Mound. Behind the scheme Hes a pro-
position that Involves the outlay OF sew.
eral millions of dollars, being nothing
less than the erection Of n huge plant
for the purpose Of turning out pig. rails,
pipe and other staple commodities.
The money for this Is said to be forth
coming. The major portion Of the prop
critics TO be worked Is under the con-
troll OF Col S. II. Miner Of this city.
Senator w. "A. Clark has taken an in
terest In the proposition ana he Is said
IN turn to have interested foreign capl-
tai In the scheme on the occasion OF
his last visit TO Europe Everything is
now I'm shape where operations can be
commenced. The first step win be the
construction Of the branch road to the
heart Of the iron region and then will
follow the development OF the country.
The construction of this line has to all

and but for the scarcity Of rails would
be pushed right away
Since Col Miner went into the iron
proposition In 1roun county he has ao-
auired United states patents for fifty
or sixty valuable claims, and has now
in process the patenting Of some forty
additional ones. He has also taken
steps to get water supply for the new
town. and consequently means bust
ness.
This activity on the part Of the Clark
Miner crowd has stirred up the Colo
RADIO Fuel & Iron people to activity with
the result that iron claims are being
taken IN all along the line. For the
past week there have been number
of iron and coal contest cases In the
United States land Office here and taken
altogether things look good for Iron
county In particular, and Utah in gem
eral
1t is generally conceded that the
manufacture of iron will commence at
an early date. The problem of coke has
been largely solved by the development
of fine body Of semi-anthracite coal
near the iron deposits.
The Colorado Fuel a. Iron company
Is the biggest source Of revenue for the
Denver & Rio Grande. It Is stated that
It is the intention Of Senator Clark to
make the Desert Mound proposition a
similar one as far as the Salt Lake
Route is concerned.
