SANE OLD MULE

If man comes riding up to your
door on familiar old mule-man you
had never seen before and told you
he had a fine horse, under him Would
you believe him? Would you believe
him if he showed you a resolution
passed by a number of former riders
of the mule which formally neclared
that the mule was a horse? Would
you believe him if the mules ears
were clipped and the mules tail were
covered with curly shavings and his
voice muified through greenbacks and
gold certificates?
You would still doubt. Your sense
would tell you it was the same old
mule the same kicking, behaving,
obstreperous, cantankerous mule with
his belly full of hitching-post hay and
his heart full of malice.
Well, now comes one Alton B. Par
ker riding the democratic mule-never
heard of Mr.. Parker, did you? He
claims that the mule is a prarcing
horse says he has the resolution of a
lot of ex-mule drivers down at st.
Louis that the mule is a thorough. bred,
registered, pedigreed J. Piermont Nor
gan horse; claims that in the next
horse race the mule is going to go a
mile a minute, and when the mule goes
to bray through wad of Wall street
money, Parker claims that the bray is
Whitney, and expects the people to
bet on the mule at the horse race.
But it is the same old democratic
mule same old free-silver, free-trade,
free-booting mule that has lifted his
maliferous voice in times of calamity
and panic in the nation for so years.

not been interrupted. Many heavy
rains have occurred in the mountain
districts and the water supply Of the
Territory has been greatly increased;
streams are flowing and lakes and
water holes are filled.
Irrigated fields are doing well, and
the dry farming areas are much i'm

harvest of wheat, oats and second
growth alfalfa continues IN northern
counties, and early potatoes are being
dug. Gardens have been revived and
fair yields of late vegetables will be
obtained. GrasshOppers are causing
some damage in the northern half.
Ranges have continued rapid growth
and the condition ofstock has improved.
Losses have practically ceased. The
outlook for winter feed is daily becom-

closes with favorable weather and

the forest fires are at an end, and
throughout the Territory fruit and for
est trees will be much benefited by the
rains.

Don't bet on this new democratic
horse with shaving tail and clipped
ears. The shavings will wear off and
the ears will grow out and then he will
be the same old mule. Watch out for

HAS RESERVATIONS

Governor Carters rule of requiring
his appointees to file their designations
to be accepted by him when he de-

AS new appointments of the district
judges are made the governor asks
them to send in their designations with
the oath of office and the resignation
is held for use in the discretion of the
executive.
The governor has taken the position
in all departments that as he has to
assume responsibility for his ap-
pointees he should have power of re-
moval and he has put the plan in force
throughout the government. 1t gives
the executive the powers which ex-

move the officials, according to law

1.-THE sLEEPLESS ARCH"

Old HindOO Principle the Basis OF
All Modern Bridges.
Although the building of great arches
of masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization, the principle that
gives strength to the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges Of the Roman empire.
The history of bridge building is, to
a large degree, the history Of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth of the
old Hindoo saying that "the arch never
sleeps" because each separate section
of which it consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, is con-
stantly pushing against its immediate
neighbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure is erected.
To secure a perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth, and not infre-
quently the part Of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
1t was their inability to solve the
problem of trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the Sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing it to pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honored materials for
his work, to say nothing of new ma
terials, and an important part of his
student training in such modern schools
as the Massachusetts Institute Of Tech
nology is devoted to methods Of test
ing materials during construction that
would have surprised and delighted
even the most accomplished Of the an
Client Roman engineers.
