the following from the Mackay
Qdaho) Telegraph, that paper which
has been referred to in these colums
before, shows what ENTERPRISE can
do, has done, and will do. The article
says:
The Telegraph has often called
attention to the fact that Mackay
has more blessings per square inch than
the rank and file OF cities and towns,
but such statements are generally
discounted pretty heavily because
they emanate from newspaper Office
During the past week, il has been a
subject of much comment that this
town doesn't owe a dollar in the
world, that it has good streets, good
walks, and a good government. Three
years ago the Mackay township was
the back side of mans ranch, with
nothing on il but sage brush and coy
otes. Now it is village of $50 inhab-
itants. II has graded school, and
the board informs us that they will
conduct a nine months term this
year, Notwithstanding the fact there
was no special tax levied and that
they have bought some furniture
which they paid cash for. Thanks to
benevolent cities and invest or
there are two churches built
and furnished, and practically
all paid for. There is a public
reading room, an active COM
mercial club, and well equipped fire
department.; the streets are under.

laid with pipes carrying the best
water that ever came down
from snowy SUBMITS, and network
of surface bitches distributes water
for irrigation. No special village tax
was levied this year, and the village
treasurer reports that there Is $500
now on hand. 1t Is expected that
within the next few months the peo-
pie will have the added convenience
Of telephone exchange and electric
light. One year ago IL was common
remark that IL the White Knob mine
should shut down, the town would
dwindle down to the status Of coun-
try cross roads, but that great nation
al theme-irrigation has been gaining
recognition among its citizens, till
now they begin to recognise in the
great tracts of semi-arid lands which
constitute the valley, a part of the
"new tribune" which can be combined
with the bright sunshine and the
great snowy watersheds encircling
the upper part of the valley, to con-
stitute a source Of wealth in agricul-
ture which will call for Dig colonial
ton movement within u few years to
properly man our vast resources.
While the greater part of agricultural
lands lies below Mackay, the greatest
mineral bodies lie above or opposite
the town, thus making Mackay the
natural center for the greater opera
tions and enterprises, which are yet to
come. "As the twig is bent SO the
tree inclincs" and the town that be-
gins with narrow shallow ideas of
business and social affairs, will seldom
have more than enough to ill its
narrow contracted channels: while
that place which builds with big
open heart, with sympathy and en-
thusiasm broad enough to cover every
thing, will find the host crowding to
get within the spere Of its influence.
This is sermon for Logan and
Cache county if the citizens will but
fathOm it.

SiQnifiCant Statement.

In an extended interview, William
+. lIarriety of Philadelphia, formerly
chairman of the Democratic National
committee, on the prospects of his
party's success in the coming cam
paign says:
"Frankness compclls me TO say
that | do not lind the outlook of my
party as hopeful as it ought TO be-
said Mr.. Harrity. There is no
leadership, no group of leaders sum-
GENTLY in the front Of our affairs to
unite our forces and stir our fgting
spirit We have no issues sharply
enough defined to arouse interest in
tensely in the coming campaign.
The discouraging condition of the
Democratic party is due TO causes
within itself. The principal of these
causes Is the atti tude which the
party took in 1896 on the currency
question.
IL feel very friendly to Mr.. Cleve-
land and would be glad to see him
nominated. To be honest, however.
| must say that the opposition TO him
in the South and West would prevent
his nomination even il he allowed his
name To be used.
Judge Parker of New York strikes
me very favorably. think he would
make strong candidate and a good
president. Judge Parker, with New
York back Of him, will surely be nomi-
mated
II do not consider Mr.. Hearst a
strong candidate. He is generally re-
garded as being in accord with Mr..
Bryan and having radical views that
have already been repudated by the
people. If the party is to have a can
didate OF that kind, Mr.. Bryan him
self should be nominated
"Mr, HedrSt'S nomination would
mean certain defeat because OF the
views ir represents, This is not a
radical country. The people vote
soberly. Mr., Hearsts views are so
radical that they are rot likely to APP
peal to the independent or unattach-
ed vote"

The Labor Vote In 1904.

The Democratic politicians are
wondering if they can hold any con-
siderable portion of the organized labor
vote I'm the canvass in 1901. They see
that President Roosevelt is very popu-
lar with the labor leaders, and that
he has apparently the support Of a
majority of the rank and file. His
feat in 1902 in bringing the coal strike
to an end 10y securing arbitration was
a triumph for the administration that
the Democratic party managers
realize will make hundreds of thous-
ands of votes for the Republican
ticket this year. The Presidents
work in that crisis did much toward
bringing that magnificent victory for
the Republicans in the Congressional
election few days after the resump-
tion of operations by the miners.
The commission which he appointed
to inquire into the grievances of the
miners gave satisfaction to the work.
ers of all parties. 1t was predicted at
that time by shrewd democrats that
the President had won the regard of
the organized labor element of the
country to an extent which would rem
der him very formidable antagonist
two years later. Nothing has happened
to repel any of this labor support
since, while much has transpired that
is calculated TO strengthen it. The
Republican ticket of 1904 will have
special attraction for American work
ers of all sorts.

The prevailing weakness Of the Utah
fruit grower is the planting of too
many varieties, especially apples and
pears-a practice which accounts for
more failures in successful marketing
than any other cause, save perhaps
poor packing. Three or four varieties
of choice apples and as many of pears,
are sufficient for the largest CONNER
cial orchard. Clean, sound, we'll color
ed fruit, of the standard market
varieties, uniform in quality and size
well packed in new, clean cases, will
bring good prices, and is never drug
on the market. The outside market
call for new standard varieties of
apples and pears. They are wanted
in carload lots of one variety, and
should be perfectly uniform in size,
color and quality, as well as in style of
packing, to command the best prices.

genius, the most brilliant wit, the
profoundest thinker.

Our Little Navy.

During the last six years." pro-
claimed an imprisoned speaker in
Congress the other day, 1--WE have add
ed more to our fleet than have either
France or Germany" The speaker
went on to say that since the country
has less reason than any other TO fear
war, Yves should not increase our navy
faster than other countries do. This
argument is about as logical as any
which are made by the advocates OF a
little navy for the United States.
The speakers conclusion does not
follow his premises; but. even If it
did, in would be invalid, because the
premises themselves are utterly false.
During the last six years our navy has
been exceeded in additions by Great
Brittian, France, Russia, Germany
and Japan. We exceeded some of
these countries last year, but even
that did not bring up the average.
The additions were published in the
Washington Times the other day, as
follows; Great Britain has added
Gil, 900 tors to her feet since 1893
France, 2ls,0O0 tons: Russia, 100000
tons; Japan $4,000 tons: and the
United States ll7,0O0 tons. Last
years increase was made because it
was absolutely necessary to keep up
with the procesSion-and for that it
was not large enough.
But all this is aside from the ques-
tion. The United States needs a navy
just strong enough to defend herself
from attack. Is it strong enough to
repu'se the attack of tirst-class
power? Ceri0iniy,:.no other power
would dare attempt Spain has
showed the Ii,tle nations what would
happen TO them in such case. re
defend the United States means tC
defend an immense line of seacoast, a
mighty commerce and far-lying in
sular possessions.
The advocates Of the little navy dc
not wish even that much of fleet
They make fiery speeches about spend
ing the peoples money on empty
demonstrations of pOmp and glory
as If it were for show that an adequate
navy is desired. 1t is not argued tina,
this country must keep pace with
Others In naval construction merely "a
a matter of pride in comparison o.
figures; but we certainly must keeI
pace with others as a matter of pro
lection.
The same persons who indulge IL
this oratory against empty show
are the ones who on other occasions
bid this country beware of entanglins
alliances. In this latter plea they ar,
right, but inconsistent. There is on,
way, and only one, to keep clear of en-
tangling alliances, and this is to pos
Sess such power-on sea and shore
as to be able to be Independent
When this country has such a nav.
and such coast defense that it neet

ger forever of making any alliance TO
the sake of protection which nigh
prove embarrassing in the end. Onl
