Buying Fat Cattle.

During the past week a large
number of cattle buyers are have
been in Bear Lake looking up and
buying stock. Most of the inquiry
has been for fat stiff and good prices
have been paid for everything
bought. All these buyers are ship
ping to San Francisco, where there
is good market and no trust in
control OF prices.
The result of this buying has
been to put lot of money into cir.
culation in this valley, the benefits
of which have been felt bv every-
one.
a greater number of cattle than
usual will be turned on the rance
this year, awaiting the fall market.

Change In Political Affairs.

great change in this respect has
come over the spirit of their dreams.
Only few years ago mess of rank
politics was the chief source and
almost the only source of special
interest for many Of the people.
The secular press reveled in politics
1t really paid little attention to any
thing else. Readers of the organ
read column after column of vulgar
abuse of the other party or of the
other candidate, and chuckle over
the smell of birthstone. In some
close and hot centers life was little
better than round of deception,
villification and disorder. 1t is not
that way today. There are other
lines of interest The farmers are
getting together at the institutes for
agricultural education and improve
ment; they meet to discuss the good
roads question, to learn about cream
cries, to build tramways or on half
a dozen lines of activity and pro-
gress. With others it is otherwise.
Such others consider that various
lines should command attention
even by the secular papers; that the
business of the reliable merchants
who makes his own way, pays for
the paper and advertises in its col
umns, who serves the public fairly
and faithfully, should be kept quite
as far to the front Us the calling of
the man interested III this or that
public office. The business of the
farmer should have devoted to it at
least as much space as the business
of the man who tllls the political
field for n living. Why not? The
mechanic or artisan has made
wonderful progress. The profess
sionel politician has made little, ex-
cept backward. Why should a
public journal say nothing or little
about the mechanic and fairly turn
itself loose over the man in politics?
Doctors and lawyers and teachers
and preachers devote themselves
constantly to human progress.
Why should thew, and the women s
club and fraternal bodies and so on
be given few lines and put at the
foot, when the man whose profession
or calling is political is kept at the
top of the column as the one man to
be written up CT written down by
the press?
Old things have passed away.
The people take just and proper
interest in politics and IN men who
aspire to places in the public service.
But this calling is now considered
with other callings. It is merely
one of many sources Of interest.
Tue press SO regards 1t. 1t will

patch last night says: Azel Day Gal
braith, the convicted murderer of his
wife, was sentenced by Judge De

Cruiser colorado AII RIaht.

Delaware Breakwater. Del. July a.
On the unofficial or builders trial trip
yesterday. the United States armored
cruiser Colorado achieved a maximum
speed over a measured course OF 22.31
knots an hour, an average of two runs
under forced draught being at the rate
of 22.10 knots an hour. This result
is highly gratifying to the builders, as
the requirements of the contract were
exceeded in every respect. Experts on
board predicted after the run that the
Colorado will average 221h knots on
the official trial trip and thus exceed
the contract speed requirement by at
least one-half knot.
Vice President Edwin S. Cramp OF
the Cramp Shipbuilding Company,
said:
THE model OF the ship is so excel
lent that at the top speed there was a
remarkable absence of waves both at
the bow and at the stern.
Another noticeable feature OF the
trial was the entire absence of vibra-
ton at all speeds.
THE results. altogether. show the
Colorado to be without a peer in the
