THE GOOD ROADS
MOVEMENT.
Iron County Should Get In Line Now
to Enjoy Benefits.
SECURE STATE AND NATIONAL AID.
Letter Addressed to County Commits
siOners and State Law on
Subject Follow.

Salt Lake City, Utah, July 20,
1904.
Gentlemen. have been asked to
invite your attention to the provi
sions of Chapter 125 of the Laws of
Utah, 1908, relative to the designa-
tion of county roads as state high
ways
The general interest that is being
taken in the good roads movement
is no doubt shared by majority
of the people of this state, and has
found expression in the law above
referred TO, which seems to afford an
excellent opportunity for the com
mencement of the good work. Sew
eral states have similar laws, under
which great progress is being made,
to the advantage of the states in
general and of the farming commune
ties in particular.
The general government is also tax
ing an active interest in the better.
ment of roads throughout the country
to the extent that a measure known
as the Brownlaw bill is now pending
in the congress of the United States,
which contemplates financial aid by
the government in such states as are
organized to receive the proposed
help.
Action under our own law will put
us in line to receive this contemplat
ed aid, and if your county is pre-
pared TO move in the matter it will
be both duty and pleasure for m,
to assist to the limit that my author
ity and ability will permit.
Respectfully,
A. +. DOREMUS,
State Engineer

We were much interested and a
unused one day this week mt the
efforts made by couple of gentlemen
from the northern part of the State to
induce one of our business men to
get his life insured. The business
man, who is of deliberate turn of
mind, was slow to respond to the in
ducements the insurance men had to
offer, and while not having much to
asy either for OF against the matter
took things very coolly. Finally the
business man said: 81 had an offer
made to me the other day that was
much ahead of anything you men
have offered. A man offered to pay
me for the privilege of insuring my
life" This was sumner to the elo-
quent young insurance man, who
said, turning to his older companion:
"Bill, / guess you and l had better
hunt another company. But the
older man, who had sat listening to
tho coloquy, with smile on his face,
turned to the business man and asked
how much the insurance man had
offered to pay him. Fifteen dol
lars, I" was tho prompt reply. Taking
out pencil he figured for few mo-
ments, and turning to the business
man he said, "Thereare different
ways of giving things, but am not
going to be outdone in liberality by
fifteen dollar man, and l will give
you twenty dollars year if you will
allow me to insure your life for a
thousand dollars, and the only con
dition that | will impose is that you
will lend me fifty two dollars year
for which | will pay you interest.
Even this liberal offer did not excite
the phlegmatic business man to any
marked extent, but AZ the insurance
gentlemen were bowling themselves
out he invited them to call again be-
fore leaving town, intimating that he
had been known to change his mind.

In Vienna there is O lar who has
made forty different attemps to kill
himself and has not yet succeeded.
According to the Austrian press, no
other man who is still living has tried
so hard to get out of the world as he
has.
That he will finally succeed in
killing himself is very probable, as
he says that nothing would induce
him to remain alive much longer. In
deed, he has gray informed the
chief of police that he would much
sooner die than give a pledge that
he would stop trying to commit sui
eide.
