PLATFORM.

and Roosevelt.
We endorse The wise and states
manlike administration Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and approve the
legislation passed by the present
Republican Congress.
We command the faithful and
efficient services of the Utah Con-
gressional delegation in advanc-
ing the interests of the state, par
ticularly in securing 100000
for reclamation projects, and
much needed appropriations for
federal buildings in the state, in
GLIDING "A $50,000.00 building at
our own county seat.
We endorse the Republican
State administration and endorse
and approve the nominees and
platform of the last Republican
state convention.
We commend the action of
Governor Cutler, who, despite the
fact that he was importuned by
leading and influential citizens,
had the courage to refuse to call
special session of the leeisla-
ture to consider an amendment
looking toward the consolidation
Of the Agricultural College with
the University of Utah.
We commend the state admin
istration for its prompt and gen
erous treatment of the Agricul-
tural College, in the matter of the
reconstruction of the Mechanics
Arts building of that magnificent
institution.
We endorse the resolutions re-
Gently rasstd by the Cl.E. Com
mercialClub with reference to the
consolidation of the Agricultural
College with the University of
Utah, and we declare ourselves
unqualifiedly opposed to such con-
solidation and pledge all nominees
of this convention TO continue the
party loyalty to that great school
Of the common people.
We commend the present coun-
ty administration in its economi-
cal and business like manag e-
ment of county affairs. An eXami-
nation of the books will prove
that not one dollar of the county 8
money has been wasted, and that
the expenses of nearly every de-
partment have been reduced.
Notwithstanding the county
tax rate this year is less than it
has been for four years past, the
county has retired $4,000 of
bonds, thus saving the tax payers
the sum of $4,000 in interest an
nually, and has erected much
needed addition to the county
court house at a cost of approx
mately $15,000,0O.
All oft his has been done with
out going in debt, and with the
assurance that the bonded in
debtedness of the county will be
still further reduced within the
next few years by continuation
of the policies of the present Re
publican administration.
We commend the methods pur-
sued by the present county ad-
minjstration in determining the
assessable values of real estate in
the county, and we pledge the
next administration to the con-
tinuation of an equitable and
uniform system of assessments.
In view Of the fact that the
financial condition of the county
is on a sounder basis than for
years past, we favor a special
effort on the part Of the county
toward the construction of better
roads, and We recommend increas-
ed appropriations therefor.
We are in favor of the county

Piano Pointers.

When buying a piano don't go by
the outside appearance. Varnish and
tilagree ornaments do not make music.
DO not be too quick to buy on account
of the name of the maker either--that
particular instrument may be u
"spoil." But take friend with you
who understands the vital parts OF a
piano-its chords, stops, keys, sound
ing board, etc, and let him do the
choosing. Ask some friend about
pianos, and see If he won't guide you
TO our store.

Mr.. D., moved into one of
the Widest mountain rOun

mining properties. his profes

dren and had built himself a
very comfortable home. At
that time there Was not a
turn-plOw in that particular
section. and he s.nt a huns
drpd miles, down to South
Carolina, after one. People
told him that such a plOw
would ruin the country, and
two men whom he requested
to bring it to him came back
without it. saying they real-
ly could not do snrh Il thing,
Then he sent one of his ten
ants, but the latter also re-
turned empty handed. Final
ly he had to send his hired
man. who brought back the
plow. He could get no one to
use the plow, and had to use
it himself. 1t happened that
that summer was very dry,
and er-made Il great wheat
crop, thanks to deep plow>

used only the l;ttle plows,

day before he began to use

him and told him that he rep

him and paid no more atten-

The Need for corunduln.

/ Never in the history of the abrasive
industry has the time been more op-
epoftnne for the development OF eorun.
dun properties than al present when
there II Il scarcity Of emery ore.
During 1905, the production Of cornn-
DUN and emery in The United tates, ac'
cording TO Mr.. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who
has written report on the production
OF abrasive materials for the United
States Geological Survey amounted 10
2,126 short tons valued at 61.464, III
compared with 1915 short tons, valued
at S56,9s5 in 1904, an increase Of 2it
tons in quantity and Of 81, 40 in value
The corundum mined was from NORTH
Carolina and Montana and the emery
from New York and Massachusetts.
The Greek and Turkish deposits are
not furnishing the grade Of emery that
is desired, nor the quantity, and thi.
has also been true during the past year
of the emery mines in this country. The
Canadian corundum deposits supply Ia
some extent the demand for eorundum
but there IL still large enough market
10 warrant the working Of deposits in
this country.
The importation Of corundum and
emery into the United States is still
largely in excess of the home production
In 1905 these imports were valued al
in 1904.
