Free Press Observation-Disclosures OF
Newport Company nud Funds
Missing.
Newport village is all agog over the dis
appearance of w. u Dclarm, manager of
the Blair e. Dclarm Veneer company,
there, and ugly stories are atioat as to the
cause of his disappearance. IT is under
stood that meeting of the directors of
the company last week discovered that the
help in the factory had not been paid for
six weeks. Sunday parties interested who
wanted to see Delarm were told that lie
was i'll. Monday he disappeared 1t is
SAID that he went to Island Pond and de-
parted by train thence to Canada, but no
clue to his whereabouts is yet known, or
at least not yet given out. The theory is
that Delarm has been misappropriating
tho funds of the company some say to al,
amount between $3.50 and 5000. IT IS not
believed, however. that he carried that
iamount away with him, but that he has
spent it in the course of the pretty eX-
travagant life he has been living here of
late. OF course, Dclarms friends deny
hese stpris and say he will turn up all
right and prove his honesty, but public
lopinion is not so charitable. Delarm is
about 80 years old. is married. but has no
children. NJ j. Blair, the senior member
Iof the corporation, expects to be electc 81
manager at a meeting to be held soon.

press were attracted to the typesetting

the nimble fingers of the operator with
opened eyed wonderment. Finally
one of them spoke to the other in the
following enthusiastic manner:
"Whiuple used to carry papers, now

Locust Trees
For Timber.

Forests of locust trees or of some
other similar variety are likely to oc-
cupy a part of the Moffat road right
of way between Denver and the noun
tains during the next two decades.
Officials of this line are considering
the advisabilty of planting thousands
of trees to be used tor ties when they
grow big enough. The numerous
artesian wells between Denver and
the mountains will afford sufficient
moisture tor such trees as the LOCUST.
Government officials have been ask
ed for report ON the locust and if it
is decided they will grow well here
they will be the kind selected. The
ties that are now being used on the
Moffat roau are Texas pine hearts,
but railroad men foresee a time in
the near future when all timber suit
able for ties will be completely ex-
hausted.
The cedar and spruce forests of the
Pacific coast are almost inexhaustible.
but the wood is not durable when
used for ties and is very expensive.
The Pennsylvania system has plant
ed thousands of young locusts in order
to have supply of ties when other
woods are used up. The Pennsylvania
system has about 1 200 acres of Young
trees set ont already and expects to
devote several thousand acres more to
that purpose.
In the investigation now being made
by the officials of the Motfat road
proves that locusts can be grown here
by supplying them with limited
quantities of water it is altogether
likely several other mountain rail-
roads will set out trees
The locust makes a very good tie
It grows fast. but its roots spread and
sometimes crop out of the ground 200
feet way from the trunk. 1t has been
suggested that the roots would be
likely to undermine the roadbed in
time, but railroad men declare that
it is figment of Imagination
If the west can furnish ties there
will be no necessity of importing rail
road material. Tile steel mills fur
nish the rails and the Stag from smell
ters makes the finest roadbed in the
world. The supply of rock for bal
last is also unlimited and the Moffat
road will use broken stone for its bals
last in the mountain divisions.

OmnipOtence of God. j..

Sunday the first Methodist church
at Ogden was crowded to hear Bishop
Cranston. The dispatch from that
place to the Salt Lake Tribune states
that: Bishop Earl Cranston occupied
the pulpit at the First Methodist
church yesterday morning. The big
building was crowded to hear the en-
inent di,i inc, and his sermon ON the
omnipotence of God was listened TO
with rapt attention. The bishop ad-
vocated the devotion of a half hour
each day to the deep study of this
question to the exclusion of all
others; that if one should do this and
concentrate the mind upon the sub
iect. it must become plain to all.
Bishop Cranston also addressed the
congregation in the evening in gem
eral way.
