A POINTER.

In contemplating the boom" that
is coming to Salt Lake city as result
OF the many forces now at work in
favor of that city, Goodwins Weekly
offers timely suggestions that are un-
doubtedly well worth the while. With
the building Of so many railroads, the
work OF the "See America First Or
ganlzatioD, and the opening of many
big mines In Utah and Nevada, all can
see great increase OF population for
Salt Lake city and the whole inter-
mountain country, and Goodwin's
Weekly urges preparation for them,
at the same time pointing ways of
making money in the preparation.
The part of particular interest to
local readers is in the following;
with the work TO be done, with
the increased population which that
work will bring here, the merchants
who sell food should, so far as they
can, be making plans TO receive am
pie supplies OF staple food at Just as
reasonable figures as possible. For

kuRps QUICK TO GIVE BATTLE
Ready Fighting Follows Attempted
Theft OF Sheep.


Col. p. II. II. Massey tells of this
battle which he witnessed In the
course OF his explorations in Asiatic
Turkey. The cause of the fight was
an attempted theft of sheep. He says:
Some flocks were being driven of
across the Sipkanll Kurds' border
when the usual alarm signals, shots
fired and smoke fires kindled at all
the villages around. brought clouds
of horsemen galloping wildly across
In that direction. This did not look
very reassuring in the middle of so
wild country, where a human life is
never worth that OF good sheep, but
we soon perceived, by the yelling
kurds with gr!nning faces who dashed
past us, that to us no harm was in
tended.
I'VE reached the village not far from
which the battle was raging to find the
fiat roofs occupied by all the women
Quite regardless of stray bullets they
followed the fiuctuating fortunes OF
their side amid the din OF their own
shrill tongues, which almost drowned
the laundering reports OF the Kurdish
powder, anything but noiseless or
smokeless.
1T was soon over. The flocks were
triumphantly brought back. together
With the bodies of a few dead Kurds
and some others wounded. We passed
on amid the waiting OF the women Just
widowed in a fight for few sheep"

Take a hair of the dog that bit

Though by far the greater proper

II has lately been reported that, on

Retains Always Its Fixed Position in
the Heavens.
The pole star is really the most i'm.

marks the north at all times. 1t alone
is fixed in the heavens. All the other
stars seem to swing around 1t once in
twenty-four hours.
But the pole star OF Polaris is not a
very bright one, and ii would be hard
to identify but for the help of the so
called pointers in the Big Dipper OF
Great Bear. The outer rim of the dip
per points nearly to Polaris, at a dis
lance equal to three times the space
that separates the two stars Of the
dipper's outer side. Various Indians
call the pole star the home star" and
the star that never moves" and the
dipper they call the broken back"
The Great Bear is also to be re

reason. 1t is the hour hand of the

CHRISTMAS EDITIONS.

The Logan Journals Christmas
edition proved TO be twenty-eight
page publication filed with matter
made appropriate by the Joseph
Smith centenary. The mechanical
work was but fairly done. Considering
the fact that the Office boasts $4,000
linotype and fine new press, the
publication Is not more than the pub
lie had right to expect. The con-
tents OF the edition were written by
Mayor Robinson, NJ. J. Ballard, James
A. Leshman the poet, various local
people having knowledge Of the
Prophet Joseph, Or, George Thomas,
w. NJ. Wolfe, County Supt. McCarrey,
Andreas Peterson, Louis b, Carbon.
The various articles presented are
worthy their authors and prove in
teresting reading.
To the knowing there is an i'm
measurable difference between the
'hand.me. down" and tailor.made suit
of clothes. AS great difference
exists between the Goodwin's Weekly
Christmas edition and all Others Of
this western country. 1t possessed
the charm that goes with the genuine,
the thing of real value and though IL
contained reference or so not quite
satisfactory to the orthodox Mormon,
1t must have given intense pleasure in
every home to which it went Regard
less OF what he may say, there is no
man west Of the Mississippi who can
say IL quite like Goodwin. In its
simplicity, perfect ad and press work
the paper was a typographical gem,
also.
The Christmas edition of the Deseret
News was all and more than the pub
lie could reasonably expect even of the
News which In the past has done
nothing less than the wonderful in
the way OF special editions. 1t was
exhaustive in its description Of Utah,
Nevada and Idaho resources and pos
sibilities. Cache valley people feel
that this end of Utah was sighted
but must needs acknowledge the mag
nIficence OF the News, nevertheless.
geographically the edition was de-
light to the eye of all the knowing
and pleasing even to the uninitiated.
The Pocatello Tribune comes to our
desk thirty-six page edition with the

GIVE RUSSIANS A REST
Japanese Are Not Pressing Their Par

Gunshu Pass, March 22.-The Jap
anese appear to have given the Rus

sian right much nearer the railroad

FATAL EXPLOSION IN MINE
Serious Disaster in Which Six Miners
Were Killed and Four Injured.

Princeton, Ind, March 22.-Six min
ers dead and four injured, two fatally,
is the result of an explosion in the
mine of the Princeton Coal and Min
ing Company this afternoon. The
dead bodies were rescued two hours
after the explosion, the delay being
caused by the inability of the rescuers
to combat after-damp. The injured
were brought to the surface 30 minutes
after the explosion. They were found
heaped together in an unconscious
state. When the explosion occurred
most of the miners had left the mine.
Whether the explosion was a prema-
ture shot or an overcharge is not
known.
Within shot time so women, relatives
of the miners, surrounded the mouth
of the shaft and anxiously awaited
each ascension of the cage. The MIN
ers worked heroically and a number
were overcome by the foul air which
filled the mine. The explosion hurled
supporting timbers in every direction.
In consequence, the slate roof gave
way in many places and the rescuers
were in constant danger from this
source. This is ,he second serious dis
aster in the mine, an explosion some
years ago having killed nine men. The
mine was then the property of the
Maule Company.

ACTION is SATISFACTORY
No Occasion Now for the French Gov
efnInent to Resort to Othern Means.

Washington, March 22.-The Presi-
dent is concluding arrangements for
his southwestern trip, on which he ex-
poets to start Monday, April 3rd, and
no apprehension exists that the trip
will be either abandoned or postponed
on account of the Venezuelan embrug-
lilo. The President expects, in his sb-
sence from Washington, to keep in
close touch with the situation as it
may develop and will be in position
from his train as may be necessary.
THE first news that the officials here
had of the action Of the Venezuelan
court respecting the French Cable
Company's case was contained in the
Associated Press Paris dispatch to The
effect that the court had ordered the
postponement sine die. While this pro-
ceeding is peculiar to Spanish law prac-
tice, the officials here regard it as be-
ing equivalent to practical abandon
ment Of the attempt to secure by de-
cree a forfeiture Of the company's con-
cession. Therefore, It appears that the
action of the French minister to Car
acas, as reported by Minister Bowen
to Washington last Monday in lie
manding discrimination of the pro-
cSedings against the &C mpany has beea
effectual, SO there will, in all probabil-
ity, be no occasion for a resort by the
French government to other measures
to protect the company's interests.
