The travelling public should view
with great deal of ia 'or the state
mcnt that transportation and motive
power officials Of several of the larger
railroads have become interested in
the advantages to be derived by the
use of steel passenger coaches. The
recent introduction of such coaches on
the Long Island road attracted the
attention of Pennsylvania railroad
authorities. and as a result Of confer
ences held recently 1t is thought like.
ly that experiments will be made with
view TO the use of steel coaches on
the Pennsylvania's regular lines. The
Erie Is also said TO have taken up the
idea, and to have ordered the con-
struction OF one car for experimental
purposes. A steel postal and baggage
car now on the Erie lines is reported
to be giving general satisfaction.
Steel construction OF passenger coach
es offers the advantages of strengthen
elimination Of the danger OF tclescop-
ing in case of wrecks, and Of the risk
of fire. 1t is strange indeed that the
puclic has not long before demanded
this consideration.

Law Interpreted.

In response to a query from the
mayor and city council of Mt. Pleas
ant, Attorney General Breeder rules
that where vacancy occurs in the
council with four year incumbent,
the appointment of the mayor TO ill
such vacancy continues through the
full term, and does not end with ary
election that may be held before its
termination. There Is similar case
in Logan city, Ed. Nelson having been
appointed to fill the unexpired four
year-term OF Sheriff Tom Smith, re-
signed. AS a consequence but one
man was nominated by the Republi-
cans of the Second ward.

That il pays to do everything prop
erly isdemonstrate by the results of
Prof. Balls spraying in the Smart or
chard, as related i'm the last issue OF
The REPUBLICAN. Prof. Ball took
an absolutely worthless two-acre Or
chard and in two years made it pay
Mr.. Smart $500. He sprayed, did no.
thing but spray, to obtain these re-
suits, but he did it right. Others have
sprayed and sprayed, but the results
have not been obtained. Why? The
answer is obvious. 1t will pay every
fruit grower to remember as Prof Ball
says, that there are but five days in
each year in which to spray. These
are the five days Immediately follow
ing the fall of the blossom. Then
when the spraying is done, let it be
from some distance above, and with a
sprayer having pressure OF from so
to 100 pounds. The Smart orchard
has been u Gated along these lines, and
today Mr. Smart has an orchard with
fruit less than one per cent imperfect,
If Mr.. Smart will take care of his or
chard in the future and thin his fruit
in the spring, he will have apples
that for quality, size and beauty will
compare with anything the Pacific
coast can produce. His apples this
year, while of good size, were not as
they might have been had the proper
thing been done.

Methodist Church.

"Why christianity is the religion
that will prevail over every other in
all the world" is the theme Of Rev.
Norfleet's sermon next Sabbath even
ing at 1880. Some interesting music
will be provided.
The new Methodist hymn books
have arrived and will be used. This
ir said to be the greatest music book
ever published. The public is most
cordially invited.

There is TO be concerted action on
the part of six or eight of the western
states to attract the attention Of
eastern tourists who 20 to Europe.
Many OF those tourists go across the
ocean TO get a view of scenery at
is surpassed throughout the west, and
II is believed that proper advertising
will bring that class of people this
way. The Salt Lake Commercial
Club is back of the move and the city
press says that other clubs through
out the west are right in line. This
sounds good. Tourists can not pass
through this country without being
impressed sufficiently to advertise IL
well when away, and many will come
and find here opportunities for invest
ment for which they are looking. The
east is ignorant of the vastness, beauty
and wealth of the western country,
and proper advertising can not but
result in the greatest good. Utah
needs favorable advertising as she
needs nothing else, and the whole
west can not advertise too siren
uously. When this movement is well
under way, Caches opportunity is
great.

DO you own dog or cat? Have
you any warm place where it may
sleep during the cold nights that are
coming? Probably not. The animal
may remain inside the house by the
tire most Of the day, but is turned out
at night isn't it? Why not arrange a
good large box in some outbuilding
and ill it with such material that
your animal may be comfortable? 1t
wouldn't be much trouble, and in his
way he would thank you like the good
fellow ne is. This is little thing,
true, but If there is heaven it's made
OF kindness.

The democratic organ seems to
think the Republican ticket weak
one. Though that were true, the
Republicans still have the best of it.
Weak men with good principles are to
be trusted every time before strong
men with bad principles.

Wife Could Do Sometime.

Joe Smith of Portland was poor
half-witted individual, who did odd
jobs about the neighborhood, says the
Boston Herald. One day he said IN n
lady for whom he was working:
Say, Miss Merrill, I'm goin' tn got
married"
why, Joe she exclaimed, you
cant even support yourself"
lie answered in an agFrieved tone.
We'll, can almost support myself
an It's a pity If she can't do little

A Real Roman Chariot.

Strolling through the Fifth Avenue
wing in the Metropolitan Museum, in
Central Park, New York, one comes
upon a chariot of bronze in great
glass box. This is a grand prize in
the lottery of the excavator, just such
a prize as the Louvre or the British
Museum would like to draw, since
neither in their marvellous collections,
nor at Berlin, nor in the many muse
ums Of Italy, is its equal to be found.
Twenty-Five, perhaps thirty centuries
has this specimen of long f'rgOtten
fashion in war lain beneath the soil Of
Umbria, the wooden parts under the
bronze rotting slowly away, the
weight Of the earth above gradually
crushing in the shell, and only the
protective layer of oxidation on the
surface of Ae bronze preventing a
total disintegratiop of car body,
wheels and pole. Near it lie two
curving sheets of metal, all that re-
mains Of the wooden yoke with bronze
covering plates, and in dish SHIN
mering mass of ivory fakes hints Of a
rail that graced the curving front.
In such car, so small, yet so Law
ishly embellished with hammered and
deity fitted bronze reliefs, may Lars
Porsena. Of Clusium, have celebrated
many a triumph which the narrow
pride of Roman historians has sup
pressed. With the exception Of a
fragmentary bronze car at Perugls,
this is the only example known Of the
war chariots of the mysterious people
who civilized and gave kings to Rome.

didn't appear to have any clothes on
she looked cold and lost Long
Thompson turned his head away and
blushed, something he hasn't done
since be WAS a calf on the range Of
life. He whispers to US, especially
to Slider Avery, who was staring un.
til his eyes began to bulge:
"'For Gods sake, fellers, don't

without knowing how she looks. Give
her a chance to duck.
80 we all shuts our eyes but Avery
he never was respectable, anyway.
After time, when it got tiresome
we opens our eyes, and there's
hundred or more women skating
around, dressed like the frst-n moth
ing on but a lariat and saddle
blanket.
"'Im going TO bed, says MaIsy,
for If ! ever talk in my sleep after

Walked 5000 Niles A Year.

On January l, 1908, says writer
in the Outing Magazine, l conceived
the idea of walking 5000 miles before
the expiration of the year. The object
was not to achieve any unusual feat,
nor to accomplish any conspicuous per-
formance. The underlying motive was
rather to insure plan by which reg
ular and sy mpathetic exercise could be
obtained.
To travel this distance it was nee
essary TO cover an average of IA miles

this length is one thing; the sustained

At the end of the year l had COM
pleted a distance on foot of 5,205 miles
or a daily average of l4i miles The
stipulated 5000 miles were flushed on
the 18th day of December, but an ad-
ditional 200 miles were covered in or
der that each of the 50 weeks of the
year might claim an average distance
traversed of 100 miles.
set out upon my enterprise with
the knowledge that it was incumbent
upon me to maintain daily average OF
IA miles, and l madeit a rule, when
practicable, of keeping above the aver
age, so as to have something in hand
to meet the emergencies which were
almost certain to arise. That they
did arise was shown by the fact that
for Is days in the year, owing to sick
ness, lameness and railway travelling,
no walking whatever could be INDUCED
in. The inability to utilize these Is
days was equal to loss of over 200
miles. 1t will therefore be seen that,
under the circumstances named, it was
imperative on many occasions to ex'
ceed the distance of IA miles day,
in order to preserve the average.
At the beginning of my walk my
weight was 1872 pounds in street clothes
while at the end of it my weight was
178 pounds. This loss of IA pounds
was in every way acceptable The
avoirdupois lost was only redundant
weight, and felt, as result, more ac-
tive, stro ger and harder. In the mat
ter of health, l felt decidedly better
than l had for several years.
