UTAH'S RESOURCES.

One OF the most complete complla-
tlons Of data concerning Utah Is Of
fered In Judge Colborn's pamphlet, just
issued by the Union Pacific Railroad
company. IT consists of over hundred
pages and every page Is ornmmed with
valuable information a vide range of
subjoas IS covered, including are,L
agriculture. climate and health. cost OF
living daiIying, FISH culture. horticul-
ture, irrigation. manufacture, minerals
poultry, population, schools, stock rails
Ing, timber. railroads and historical
data. \ number Of valuable tables are
also furnished, The little book is Of
great value not only 20 people In other
statas VINO may dnsire Information

also 10 the residents " the state
The author pays this well deserved
tribute TO the first settlers OF Utah;
1T Is doubtful whether history contains
record more splendid than that OF ths
handful OF men ana women. the Utah
pioneers, who established civilization far
out IN the wilderness OF Western Ameri-
ca, and year by year with patience and
toll and through suffering, widened Its
dominion until they made possible the
empire Of today beyond the Rocky
Mountains"
The railroads, Notwithstanding the
clamor against them from some quar-
ters. are doing valuable servlce for the
territory through which they pass, not
only by facilitating communication with
other parts OF the world, but also by
disseminating correct information con-
corning the resources and attractions OF
the sections they cross. They deserve
more credit than they generally are ac-
corded for this important feature OF
their activity, Their books ard
pamphlets, circulars. and magazines,
generally gotten w with much care
and at great expense, are doing more
for the building up of the country than
is generally suspected. II the See

WHY NOT SPANISH

The school authorities II seems, are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of making
French and German elective courses
In the highest grades OF the district
schools II is doubtful whether it is
wise to introduce into the grade
schools electives Of any kind In
the universities and colleges Of
the country the elective system
has run wild and now the ten
dency is TO curtail It, courses being
grouped and election being In the
courses and not in the individual stu
dies. To allow grade pupils to elect
French and German Is to run very
grave danger OF dissipatng their en-.
ergles. The advantage 10 4 young chi!i
in the study Of a language IS In the
mastery OF the rules governing It, and
until the rules Of one language have
been pretty well mastered It Is folly to
befuddle their minds with the rules OF
another and q foreign one.
II however the plan Ia adopted
It seems to us that Spanish ought to be
added TO the course. or II three for
eign languages are too much of an ad-
dition to the other courses, Spanish
ought, in our Judgment, to be given the
preference over German. Spanish Is
the coming language OF this hemis-
phere, outside the Englsh-spoaking
countries There are at least $4,000
coo people speaking Spanish, and the
number of students ~ that tongue IS
constantly increasing.
The spanish literature, contrary to
what may be popularity supposed, sur
passes both the French, German and
italian It's variety, splendor, and
grandeur are unvxcelled. According
to a writer IN the National Magazine,
modern literature owes rs most char
actoristic features to Spanish writer's.
Tire newspaper paragraph" the
short story" and the funny column"
al come from Spanish countries. Even
the opera, we are told Is VI Spanish
crlgin All Spanish America, az well
as Spain itself teens with authors
II prose and verse of no small merit
We believe IN the educational value of
the study OF German, and recognize
the vast wealth Of German literature,
but to tho American youth we believe
Spanish will be OF greater practical
value than either French or German.

A GREAT VICTORY.

The shelving Of the Philippine tariff
bill by the Senate committee To VIII nm
II was referred means great deal
TO the beet-sugar Industry in the
United States. That is, II the action
taken is final. We suppose there is q
possibility Of It's being brought out
into the Senate, but the movement
would be unusual, and It seems to be
taken for granted that the fate OF the
measure Is settled during the present
Congress at least,
TO the people OF Utah and the great
West the news Is very encouraging.
IT will revive the stock market and
put new yigor into the culture OF the
beet and the manufacture OF sugar. II
viii dlsslpate the temporary gloom
that oyershadowed the companies en-
gagged in this important industry.
That It will greatly benefit all the re-
gions where sugar is made from beets
IS as certain as the flow Of the tides.
We do not believe that the promoters
Of the bill had any intention OF doing
injury TO the sugar producers of this
country We think they were studying
what they regarded as conducive to
the general welfare. The cheapenng Of
an article of prime necessity to the
masses was what they had In mind. But
they did not fully perceive the injury
that the proposed reduction Of duty
would work to one OF the most import
ant homo industries OF our country,
which would far outweigh In value the
very slight reduction possible upon the
retail price OF sugar to the consumer.
We believe wise counsels have pre-
vailed and by them the valuable indus
try has been relieved Of a threatened
danger, and the results cannot fail to
be highly satisfactory. Sugar is all
right and beets will flourish, and new
factories will be built and both farm
ers and manufacturers will rejoice,
while capital will receive no setback
on investments or the stockmarkets.
Utah Is to be congratulated as we'll as
her neighbors, on the result.

ENFORCE THE STATUTE!

Are the tobacco and cigar dealers In
this city aware that there Is a State
law against selling such goods, giving
or furnishing them to any person un-
der eighteen years Of age? BY refer
ence to the Revised Statutes they will
ind that such an act is made mis-
demeanor, and that the person guilty
of the offense Is liable TO a fine of from
$40 to 800. Recently IN the juvenile
court, two offenders were fined s25
each. This penalty should be inflicted
in every case OF conviction. and a
repetition OF the offense should call
for extreme punishment.
A law passed in 1903 constitutes the
possession OF a cigar. cigarette or to-
bacco in any form by "A person under
eighteen years OF age a misdemeanor.

ARIZoNA'S COPPER OUTPUT.
Big Increase in 1905 and May Lead
 All the States This Year.

Forty million dollars worth of cop per was produced in 1905 by the mines and smelters of Arizona, the top-notcn of the territorys output. During the year, according to figures that mainly are from inside sources, the bullion product closely apprOXimated 241,400,- 900 pounds. Tn 1904 the production was about POS, 100000 pounds, worth $30,000,000. In 1903 the production was about 2O3,OOO,O 900 pounds, worth, at that time, about $2S,O0O,O ,OOO.
 Col. J. H. McClintock, who has at considerable trouble prepared an esti- mate of the product for 1905, for the Los Angeles Times, has submitted the following figures. Reliance is placed upon them for the reason that his esti- mates in previous years have been more nearly accurate as compared with later official returns, than the figures from any other available source.
 The production increase has come largely through the Operation of the great new Copper Queen shelter at Douglas, though the Old Dominion and United Verde furnaces did 1O,000,000 pounds each better than in 1904, and the Calumet and Arizona at Douglas advanced 4,000,000 pounds. Owing to floods, the production of the Arizona Copper company and of the Detroit Copper company dropped off materially. The Shannon appears to have held it's own. The copper bullion product for
