an agreement among the dealers. and
County Attorney slabaugh will try to find

No more witnesses were examined FRI
day County Attorney Slabaugh has made
a public request for all persons having in
formation on the subject to communicate
with him.

A DAY OF THANKSGIVING
President Issues Proclamation Set
ting Aside November 90.
He Declares That Never BEFORE Has
Such Prosperity Been En-
jOyed by Any Nation.

Washington, D. c. = The president
ing Thursday, November 20, as
day of Thanksgiving. The text of the
proclamation in part follows:
The time of year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
of our forefathers, it becomes my duty
to set aside special day of thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty
because of the Dressings we have re-
cived, and of prayer that these bless
ings may be continued. Yet another
year of widespread well being has
passed. Never before in our history
or in the history of any other nation
has a people enjoyed more Astounding
material prosperity than is ours;
prosperity so great that it should
arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride
and least of all a spirit of needless
disregard of our responsibilities but
rather a sober sense of our many
blessings, and a resolute purpose. I'M
der providence, not to forfeit them
by any action of our own.
Material well being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true nationai
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation then our
national life will be as meaning
less and empty as a house where
only the foundation has been laid.
Upon our material well being must
be built superstructure of individual
and national life lived in accordance
with the laws of the highest morality,
or else our prosperity itself will in
the long run turn out curse in
stead of a blessing. We should be
both reverently thankful for what we
have received AID earnestly bent up
on turning it into a means of grace
and not of destruction.
Accordingly, 1 hereby set apart
Thursday, the 29th day of November,
next, as the day of thanksgiving and
supplication on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches, devoutly acknowledge all
that has been given them, and to
pray that they may in addition re-
ceive the power to use these gifts

CHURCH QUITS BUSINESS.

business were further verified Thurs
day when it was officially announced
that the Utah National bank had been
sold to w. S. Mccormick of the pri-
vate banking firm of Mccormick and
company. The price paid by Mr.. Nc
Cornick for majority of the banks
stock, was not stated. The banks
stock was largely owned by the
church. In the past four months the
Mormon church has disposed of its
big holdings in the Utah Light & Rail-
way company, which controls the prin-
cipal public utilities in this city; its
Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad
with its great pavilion at Salt Air and
its big retail departments at Ogden.

The Daily Press.


4 Sir James Crichton-Browne, the enI-
hent alienist. has just given the
Newspaper press certificate as an
Important safeguard Of the general
anity. ct is the antidote to cor
.oding egotism and gives worldwide
horizon to the the purblind and short
lighted" This in a sense is true, nor
ian it be disputed that the press also
furnishes an easily digestible intel
|ectual pabulum." Sir James likewise
5peaks with a specialists authority,
pne must suppose, when he says that
many man has been saved from
melancholy and faulty by his daily
papers," and concludes: Suppress
gour newspapers and you will have
70 enlarge your lunatic asylums." We
would gladly accept for ourselves
and our colleagues tribute primarily
Intended for the British press, and
we certainly will not venture to chal-
Ienge an expert on his own ground.
But before the newspaper cure Is
widely applied in our sanitariums, we
should be glad to have the opinion of
local alienists on few specific points,
says the New York Post. Does, for
example, that peculiar institution, the
|colored supplement- make for san
effect for young girls to ven
tilate their blighted state and house
wives their MARTIAL grudges in col
umns entitled aid for the Enamor-
ed" For the Unequally Yoked," ETC.?
Sir James seems to regard the press
as a bulwark against depression mere
ly; but over-elation and hysteria are
also abnormal symptoms; and it is
possible that yellow journalism con-
tributes just a little too much to the
febrile gayety Of this nation.

commended for Rural Mail
Carriers.

Washington, D C.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General DeGraw will
recommend to Postmaster General
Cortelyou a substantial increase in

service for the coming fiscal year, in
Guiding an increase of $1,475,O00 for
the rural delivery service, did not in
clude an appropriation necessary to
provide for an increase in the salaries
of the rural carriers. The item re-
ferred to is merely to cover the nor
NAL addition to the cost of existing
service and $1,O70,O00 which will be
required for the establishment of adj
ditional rural service. Estimates for
the appropriation necessary to pro-
vide for an increase in salaries of ru-
raj carriers, if determined upon, will
lave to be submitted to congress by

Imperial, Calf. - Wednesday
waters were turned back into the ola
channel leading to the Gulf of Califor-
mia, the first water of the Colorado
river that has flowed there for two
years. Six years ago that portion Of
the Colorado desert known as Imper-
ial valley, was colonized and water
was brought in from the Colorado ri
yer for irrigation. Two years ago the
Colorado river broke through its bank
and flowed into the Salton sink, COM
polling the Southern Pacific to re-
move its tracks several times. The
company then undertook to turn the
water into its old channel and have
at last, after many discouragements,
succeeded at a cost of one million dol
