CITY OF THE SECOND CLASS.

The village Council will, at their
meeting tonight, take the necessary
steps to make St. Anthony city of
the second class.
A recent census taken by the
marshal, H. A. Buchenau, shows
that we have population to spare,
there being over 400 people living
inside the city limits.
The Peak Chronicle is in hearty
accord with the board in this &C
ton, believing it to be to the best
interest of the town and everyone
interested in it. St. Anthony has
been known only as a little village
of Al inhabitants for over four
years, and it is time to let the out
side world know that we are a pro-
gressive, industrious class of citi-
zens. There are many benefits to
be derived in the organization as a
city of the second class. We have
the population let us have the
glory.
In 1900 when the last general
census was taken all of South St.
Anthony was taken in MILFORD
precinct, st. Anthony not having
been incorporated at that time.
There were residing on the town
site 435 inhabitants which proper
ly belonged to St. Anthony but
had not been taken in.
An election should be called il
the spring to vote bonds for the
building of a town hall, Jail anc
hose house combined.
This would be a saving to the
taxpayers as the interest OH the
bonds would not amount to the sun
now paid for rents.

The Smoot investigation is draw
ing near to close. More interest
is being taken by the Republican
members of the committee as every
day the investigation takes on a
more direct character. There seems
little chance of Senator Smoot re-
tanning his seat as senator's do not
believe that person who has taken
the oath of vengeance on thepeople
of this nation can consistently hold
seat in the Senate of the United
States. The oath of vengeance of
the Mormon chucrh. according to
testimony given in the hearing is
that ''The blood of martyred Joseph
Smith be avenged on the people of
this nation.

For Retaining Our AIkali Land.

Clarence w Dorsey. representing the Bureau oi Soils of the United states Department of Agriculture, IS in tie city. His particular mission to the Coast Is to select some parcel of alkali land Tn the immediate vicinity and demonstrate that II can b. reclaimed.
 Mir. Dorsey stated last night at the Hotel Lillie, where he Is staying, that th, results during number of years have proved that soil ruined by soluble salt can be subjected to a process that will transform II into condition that will make u as valuable as ever. Small tracts have been taken up Tn various parts If tn. country where alkali has made them barren and they are now as productive as ever after being treated by the government process.
 The usual method is Ia take a tract of about twenty acres of pratically desert territory, establish a complete system of understandings of tile piping. probably about four feet deep, aud then flood the land. The alkali sinks through and IS carried away by the underground sewer age system, leaving ths ground fertile and productive.
 A soon as the method IS demon strAted as practicable. individual own CTS will doubtless adopt 1t and vast territories be reclaimed.
 In Salt Lake Valley land that would not bring so an acre has been treated in this manner by the government, and after being tested by an alfalfa growth, which is most sensitive to alkali, IS valued at $2DO an acre
 The pruces. usually takes from two to tlire. years. MT. Dorsey has been viewing a twenty-acre tract ID the neighborhoOd of Compton and is of the opinion that 1t will be chosen for the experiment
 In the Salt Lake region he states that GOOO tons of soluble salt was re- moved from the small piece of land, leaving it perfectly free.
 Demonstrations are in progress near Fresno. Cal; North Yakima. Wash. :: Tempe, Ariz., and Billings, Mont.
 MT. Dorsey also expects to yisit the Imperial Valley with view 10 experi- menting iheTe.-Times.

Unlike the 1900 Chinese of Chicago,

are engaged in mercantile pursuits, such
as the selling of Japan teas and other
products of the empire, and when not ia

people al! the time, ID we'll illustrated
with these extras. Since the opening Of
the war there has been scarcely night
that'the enterprising newsboys have not
made the. nights hideous with their cries
of startling war news extrasa Before the
close of the first week of the war sthe
writer's of these fake cablegrams had
killed off the entire armies and navies
of both Russia and Japan, and had
drawn all. Europe into the conflict.
It is the exceptional publisher who
will permit the issuing Of these extras
and the product is limited to one or two
papers Virtually all the papers give
prominence to startling rumors, but
they do not permit the manufacture of
these rumOrs in their own editorial
rooms.
This kind of journalism is popular
with the newsboys of the city. They
haunt the doors of the theaters and the
restaurants with great bundles of such
papers, and the public, eager to secure
the latest from the seat of war, though
knowing that in all probability the So
called news is fake, buy them eagerly
at the price asked, five cents, profit of
AZ cents to the newsboy. Others of the
street urchins invade the residence dis
tricts at all hours of the night, and their
shrlll cries of double war extra'' bring
the populace to doors and windows in
negligee attire in their eagerness to Sc
cure the news(?).
The grapevine extra" is product Of
modern Journalism, intended to satisfy
the appetite of the sensation lover.

The Death Knel Of viii sound the
the Ieamsters. death knell of the
strong organization of transfers that
city within it's grasp for the past four or
five years.
Some years ago, during~the operations
of the boodling aldermen, there was
passed in the city council an ordinance
giving an unknown company the right
to construct tunnels under every street
and alley within the city limits. Like
many franchise voted by the Chicago
city fathers, nothing more was heard
of it until some three years ago, when
excavations were begun in quiet way
in the rear of Alderman Powers saloon.
One after another little galvanized iron
sheds, about three by six feet square,
were erected at various places through
out the business district, and the public
wondered what they were. Finally
came the public announcement that the
city had been undermined by system
of tunnels, 20 miles of them, cut 40 feet
under the surface of the streets.
The tunnels are there, every mile
claimed and through them are rushing
small electric cars at a maximum rate
of 40 miles an hour. They connect with
practically every wholesale and retail
store of any Importance in the down.
town district, with every railroad and
steamship depot. and through them it
is expected that 80 per cent of the out

which they now have 10000 phones in
operation, is an automatic one, in which
the services of the hello girls are dis
pensed with. The rates charged by the
Bell system for an unlimited service,
single wire, are SITS per year. The new
company proposes maximum charge
for the automatic service of $85 per year.
and the phones are put in under an
agreement with the subscriber that he
is to pay for only such calls as he makes
at rate of five cents a call, until the
maximum shall be reached, after which
there is to be no additional charge
AS a competitor of a telephone monop-
oily that has become irksome, it is a
tempting bait that is offered, but the
question the public would like to be able
to answer satisfactorily is "are the two
companies the bitter business rivals
they profess to be, or is it but method
of installing double telephone service
with double charger" If it is fight to
the death, the public are willing to side
with the new company, but if it is SIM
ply friendly bout, the public prefer to
keep out.
The new company certainly has an
abundance of funds. The 20 miles of
tunnels constructed so far represent an
expenditure of $5,00O,0OO. There is $780,
100000 more to be spent, and the tun-
nels are to be extended into every Sec
ton of the city.

HORSES FEAR OF FUR.
ne Act So Badly ut Sight of 1t a
Fur Robe Becomes a For-
hidden Comfort.

.''This horse pretty nearly killed my
wife," said the man, angrily, land you
told me he was very safe when bought
him of you.'
The horse dealer looked perplexed,
says the New York Times. II assure
you that l thought he was. What did
he do?"
well, he's been SO kind and gentle
during the six months we've had him
that my wife used to harness him hcr-
self occasionally. Yesterday she went
out into the stable, already dressed for
driving, with a fur boa around her neck,
and started to help the man finish buck
ling the straps. The horse put his head
down into her boa and made one leap
into the air. He reared and kicked and
nearly trampled on her, and finally
broke away and rushed madly around
the yard. We had the deuce of time
catching him aealn. And the strangest
thing is that he will not permit my wife
to go near him to-day. He acted like q
regular devil every time she came within
two yards of him. Now will tell me
what ails him."
Nothing more than ails all western
horses" replied the dealer. "'This horse
came from the far west and all those
horses are desperately afraid of fur.
Some of them act so badly that it is i'm
possible to use fur blankets in the car
rage, and it is simply impossible to
throw a fur robe over their backs. |
don't know whether they think it is
some wild beast or just what the trouble
is, but we have that trouble with nearly
every western horse we handle. OF
course, I'll take this horse back if you
say sd, for your wife will never be able
to 60 near him again, and suppose /
should have been thoughtful enough to
tell you of this popularity. Now if you
will find me a remedy for this foolish
fear of theirs will be extremely CRATE

states that an ordinary grass snake
which he had in confinement was given
a mouse for food. The snake made sew

every case missed. The next day the
snake was found to be dead, and there
was evidence that it had been attacked
and killed by the mouse, which was,
