An Imperial Inventor

That our fellow townsman R. c. Hub bard is all inventor of more than ordi- nary ambition has become known by his patenting an appliance for producing power from the rise and fall of the tides. He has been working on this scheme for some time, and from time to time men tion of the matter has been made. It was not until recently, however, that he has begun to ask for franchises to locate his works at advantageous points along the coast. One of the polnts he has asked permission to use, is the tide water at the mouth of Mission bay, near San Diego. Mir. Hubbard made applica- tion to the County Supervisors for this franchise some time ago, but the propo- ,sition seems to be poser for our county Solons, as they passed the matter over for month. The feeling seemed to be that if the tide waters of Mission Bay have any such value as Mir. 'Hubbard's machine promises to give them, they dA O COO NdlUdOhO VO SidHO for, and that the franchise, when granted, should be definitely limited. We are not familiar with Mir. Hubbard s appli- ances for generating power from the tides, but we are informed by parties who are capable of accurately judging such matter, that there is great merit in his machine, and that it will no doubt be successful if it can be located in d place where the water has a uniform rise and fall, and where the machine is not exposed to the heavy breakers. It is stated that Mission Bay is such a place, and we hope that our supervisors may give MT. Hubbard an opportunity to install his machinery at this place. It would not look we'll for our most dar- ing and ingenious inventor to be com- pelled to leave his home county to test his invention.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism7

Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm will relieve the pain? The quick relief which this liniment affords makes rest and sleep possible, and that alone is worth many times it's cost. Many who have used it hoping only for a short relief from suffering have been happily surprised to find that after awhile the relief became permanent. Mrs. V. H. Leggett of Yum Yum, Ten nessee, U. s. A., writes: "Iam great sufferer from rheumatism, all over from head to foot, and Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only thing that will relieve the pain." For sale by all dealers.

Big Land SteaI-~KilliOns In Loot


 there has been some of the biggest land steals, from tue standpoint of dollars and cents, tn the eastern part of Utah, that has ever taken. place in the United States. It is charged that the opening of the Uintah reservation will simply be farces that 8 great and favored few, working with and for combines and through the cennivance aud in- struction of Uuited States senators and federal officials of prominence, including past administrations, have gobbled everything in sight, The Denver Post, which has devoted some space to an. expose of the land frauds and steals, editoriallv speaks as follows concerning the opening of the Uintah reservation in Utah:
 "The contemplated opening oI the Uintah Indian reservation in Utah de- velops a scandal of enormous magni- tude, which will necessarily involve several higl officials formerly connected with the interior department at Wash ington. Tue facts now coming forward for public examination have been known for fifteen years, and at present chiefly concern the vast gilsonite and elaterite veins located on the reservation. The latter was first discovered by the com manding officer of Fort Ducliesne, in 1888 or 1889, who then undertook to survey and locate claims, upon the principal veins, with view to develop ing tl,em, but was prevented from accomplishing his purpose through the alleged conniyance of a prominent official of Salt Lake City with the general land office aud the Indian bu- reau at Washington. s@e..Ft
 The tract in question is one of the most valuable in Utah. The material elaterite, is deposited in a series of vertical veins, and is 8 pure hydro-car- bon of great value. The uses to which it can be put are manifold. It is the only place in the world, now known, where it exists in workable quantities. Without going into details, this tract, in it's entirety, is now controlled by the Raven Mining Company of. Chi cago, which secured it's supremacy through the land office, authorities, whereby lease was obtained from the Indians and later confirmed by the de- partment. Being in actual possession, the company is ln position to fortify itself against encroachiHents of settlers by being first to purchase. The Raven Mining Company has been mining and shipping elaterite for many years. Much of the material is sent to Denver and Chicago, where it is manufactured into coatings for wood, iron and other substances. ge.i r u"}41
 The gilsonite veihsat Fort Duchesne are operated by the St. Louis Asphal- tum company. The product iss mined, sacked and shipped in wagons 12O miles to the nearest station on the Rio Grande Western railroad, and thence to it's factory in St. Louis, where it is con veyed into high class paints, varnishes, etc. The gilsonite and elaterite veins together are of almost incalculable value to the operators. The means whereby they were obtained will form kho suhiact Of an invoatiOat;Ou ,UL;ol,

Hymns You Ought to Know
GRATITUDE.
BY Adelaide Anne Proctor.


adelaide Ann Proctor, London, Oct.
30, 1S25-Feb. =, 1860, the daughter of
Barry Cornwall" the poet and dra-
matist, is the author of The Lost Chord
and also OF several beautiful and sympa-
thetc hymns. She spent much of her
life in philanthropic service, particularly
delighting in writing songs and poems
to be sold for the benefit of charitable
causes. Toward the end OF her life she
became a Roman Catholic, and seemed
fairly to wear herself away in religious
service. This hymn may be counted as
one of the new hymns Of the church, but
it is rapidly growing in favor.
My God, thank thee, who hast made
The earth so bright,
So full OF splendor and of joy,
Beauty and light;
So many glorious things are here,
Noble and right.
l thank thee more that all our Joy
Is touched with pain;
That shadows fall on brightest hours,
That thOrnS remain;
So that earth's bliss may be our guide
And not our chain.
l thank thee, Lord, that thou hast KEEP,
The best in store;
We have enough, yet not too much,
To long for more;
A yearning for a deeper peace
Not known before.
| thank thee, Lord. that here our souls,
Though amply blest
Can never find, although they seek,
A perfect rest;
Nor ever shall until they lean
On Jesus's breast.

or on the country roads, displaying
their brutality. Horses driven for
hours without drop OF water, driven
in the hot sun until they are ready to
fall, and every summer horses are
driven to death by these unfeeling
wretches. The livery stable proprie-
tors should combine against dudes and
dudines; they ought to refuse to let
them have rigs. Many of the shallow
pated girls are worse than their COM
panion bipeds. They have an itching
to show off and will 60 to any extreme
to attract public attention.
After some time spent in collecting
the same, we now put into bald prose
the various allegories which have
been adopted by the poets in dealing
with Time. 1t makes q curious bit of
reading. Time has heavy foot, a
tooth, a forelock, and breakable legs.
It travels in divers places, it ambles,
trots, gallops, runs, rolls, and stands
still. 1t has whips, it gathers roses,
and it has a reckless hand which
makes wrinkles. Time is money. and
the love of money is the root OF all
evil, and procrastination is the thief
of time. Time waits for no man, it
throws dart, and its bones are out of
joint. 1t is sea, and sandy beach, q
bank, shoal, an abyss and a whirligig.
Time is good, bad, high, fine, rough,
hot, Christmas, spring, waltz, COM
mon and lovely. Also there is dinner,
supper and breakfast time.

consented to officially recognize the
tipping habit, and thereby he grieves
some millions Of his nephews, who
had begun to hope that conscience
and common sense of the country were
about to rebel successfully at organized

But now comes the Naval Depart

an order regulating the expenses of Of
ficers, promulgates the following tari Fl,
including tip', that the government
will pay:
Hotel bills of commissioned officers,
not to exceed S. . day.
Single meals, III each; tip 10 cents.
Tips on train, so cents q day.
Tips will not be allowed on parlor
cars, except on journey of five hours
or longer.
Tips at hotel, so cents . day, but
not to exceed 50 q week at one hotel
A commissioned naval officer is per-
mitted to expend $3.50 week on tips

ocean steamer during six days or less,
and 81 day for 15.day or longer.
These are not exces sive, as tips, to
