The State Bank and Trust Company
has been appointed State and Fiscal
Agents. Registrar and exclusive De
pository of the Nevada Electric Pow
er and Transmission Co. the Coaldale
Coal Mining Co., and the St. Francis
Mining and Smelling Company. having
a total capitalization OF Sll 100000.
The Coaldale Coal company has ac-
quired all the Columbus coal lands
and has commenced operations for the
extraction OF coal. OF which 200 tons
can be extra cted al this time, Az
and which. per analysis, is known 20
be a good coke and steam coal.
This large fuel deposit being clos"
to the lead ores OF Lone Mountain,
and the other ores Of TOnopah. Can
uelaria and GOldfields. has led to the
formation of the Smelling Company.
which expects in the very near future
to be in the active reduction of ores by
coke smelling and later by electric II
process made possible by their recent
acquisition of nearby water power.

preparation to enable them to repair
their farm machinery, shoe their own

their own outhOuses. To such young
men the Agricultural College offers
unusual advantages. Why not spend
two or three hours day in the shop
learning how to do these very things?
The remainder of the time can be pro-
ttably spent in the dairy, If your in
ciinations are along that line, or in
the horticultural laboratory, or in the
work with soils and field crops, or
learning how to combat insect pests,

Hard Course OF True Love.

One time the aged duhe of Savoy,
king OF Cypr's and Jerus lem, was in
love with the beautiful yong Nine de
Valentinois, who had an estate at Mo.
naco. Says Nine. de Crequy: He
often came to Monaco, without sound
of trumpet or drum, so as 20 give her
an agreeable surprise. Nine. de Val.
ertinois did not care in the least for
ner neighbor, who, NOR yer, was a
septuagenarian and hUmpbacked as a
sack of nuts. In order to put a stop
to LIS visits she used to have his
movements watched, ana directly he
lassed her frontier he cas saluted
ficm all her batteries. Twenty.oDe

to proclaim for miles aro"nd thar his
grace was taking an outing"

Notwithstanding the fact that for
number Of years past the Agricultural
College has maintained short winter
courses in Agriculture, Domestic
Science and Arts, Mechanic Arts, and
Commerce, there are still number
Of people who are not familiar with
the purpose of these courses and the
advantages gained by an attendance
for even few months. There are
hundreds of Young and middle aged
men and women, especially in the
vicinity Of the college, who could not
spend their time more pleasantly or
more protitably, than TO take some OF
the practical work which the college
offers during the next few months.
AGRICULTURE

engaged in agricultural work who feel
the need Of more exact and definite

field and garden crops and Of the do
nestle animals. Many young men

When subscriber writes TO a local
paper that he has all the papers he can
read without taking a local paper,
whether he be republican or demo-
crat, it shows that his heart Is not
in the right place. This will apply
particularly TO merchants, who have
been known to do this. They, in con-
nection with all other classes of people
are dependent upon the local press Of
their respective localities for protec-
tion in various ways. The rights Of
the people are commended for through
the local press, and IN general way
the average business man is more than
obligated TO offer some support to the
home newspaper. What interest has

to learning trade. These young men
may spend several hours each day in
the carpentry or blacksmith shop as
they may choose and two or three
hours work in English, mathematics,
history or such other work as they
may be prepared to take. The work
of the shops is so arranged that those
who have taken the course during one
winter may take more advanced
courses during the following year and
thus in very few years, young man
may make OF himself trained artisan.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND ARTS.

fered to men in their special line may

tion-house for the work in agronomy.
A well equipped and modern dairy,
an up TO date museum, labor
atories and libraries make the equip
ment of the Agricultural College
along agricultural lines superior to
any western institution and affords
an excellent reason for the Young men
of Utah taking advantage of the
courses offered.
The men at the college are engaged
in developing the agricultural re-
sources of the State and coming in
daily contact with these men can not
fail to be of great practical benefit to
every man engaged in agricultural
work. Similar courses in Iowa,
Illinois, Nebraska, and the Dakotas
are attended every winter by several
hundred farmers. Surely the farmers
of Utah, with equal advantages, will
not let this opportunity pass.
MECHANIC ARTS.

would prefer giving all of their time

FOUGHT WITH BARE FISTS.
British Sailor Filled Gap in Broken
Infantry Ranks.

Admiral Wilson of the British navy
won his Victoria cross at the battle
of FL Teb in 1884. There was a gap in
the square and five or six of the en-.
envy made vicious rush forward, at.
tempting to get inside. Capt. Wilson,
who was present with the naval bri.
gade, advanced TO meet them alone,
but his sword broke in the endeavor
to cut one of the intruders down.
Hereupon the officer, instead Of beat.
ing hasty retreat. stood his ground
and began bowling over the enemy
with his fists. Either from the ma.
ture OF the ground or, as the record
puts ii, the surprising nature of his
attack Capt Wilson escaped with .
few wounds and was rescued by the
square closing up round him. Sir Red.
yers Butler describes the act as the
most dangerous he ever witnessed.
