A LOCAL INSURANCE SCANDAL.

It looks as If Salt Lake had an in
surance scandal of its own. Inc
things which have come to light in
regard to the Continental Life Insur- |
ance company have a very unsavory
flavor. The Continental Life COM
pany was organized in Salt Lake
about three years ago. 1t was promot-
ed by Hiram Tyree, an insurance
agent whose stamping ground had
hitherto been mainly Idaho and Mon
tana. Mr.. Tyree was not supposed to
he man of any great means at that
time, although now he may be quite
wealthy. Be that as it may he allur-
ipgly held out the bait to Salt Lakers
that it would be a good thing to keep
insurance money at home and to do
that it was necessary to organize
local insurance company. Many of
The prominent business men of high
character and commercial acumen
ook the Tyree bait, subscribed for
stock and became officers of the COM
)any which was successfully launched
md which occupied fine offices, first
| n the Deseret News building and
later in the new Atlas block, with Mr..
| Cyree as manager. Everything went
| 'long nicely for a time. But few
| Months ago number of the directors
,ecame dissatisfied and summarily
| 'evered their connection with the
company.
1t appears that Mr.. Tyree before
he annual meeting of stockholders
1t the end of the first year secured
enough proxies (the latter so worded
IS to give Mr. Tyree almost as abso
ute power as if he owned the stock)
o give him complete control of the
company. Mr.. Tyree then elected him
elf president of the Continental and
vt the meetings arbitrarily adopted
resolutions and approved contracts
made by the company with other con
Germs.
1t appears that Mr.. Tyree also or
yanized and floated two other com
,anies, the Western Securities com
any and the Western Agency com
,any, with headquarters in San Fran
'isco or other points outside of THU
'tate, and that he was the principa
,wner of at last one of those com
Danies and absolutely controlled
hem. 1t further appears that the
Continental Life company and tn,
Western Securities company made
certain contracts with the agenc!

The mourning Of Rachel over the
loss of her children is not circum-
stance compared with the wailing and
gnashing of the Tribune over the loss
of "Broncho Ben"
Calamity upon calamity follows in
the wake of Shoots senatorship,"
says the Tribune. The fosciliferous
editor is no doubt dreaming of the
time when Col. Bill Nelson will hit
the ceiling.
The Tribune says "Mr. Heywoo1 is
a better Republican than Mr.. Spry."
The difference. however, is that Spry
has got the marshalship, belongs to
the regular Republican organization
and Is a supporter of President Roose-
welt, while Haywood has got left, Is
satellite of Tom Kearns, and a mem
Der of party without pride of ances

The Tribune has said a thousand
times that it's only fight against Rec
Smoot was because he was an apostle
and member of the hierarchy an
that it had no fight against lay mem
bers of the Mormon church. What a
despicable lying creature the Tribune
is. Why is it fighting William Spry?
Is Mr. Spry a member of the hier
archy? The Tribune will fight any
man that will not bow down and be.

TO determine what can be done to-
ward destroying weed seeds by deep

try some time ago buried in the ground
great many seeds represting in all
100 species, eighty-lour genera and
thirty-four families The seeds We're

at depths varying from eight inches to
forty-two inches.
After a years burial the seeds were
taken up and tested for termination,
the results being compared with con-
troll samples which had been stored IN
cloth bags in dry room.
The results indicate tnat while the
seeds OF cultivated plants lose their
vitality, the seeds OF weeds retain their
powers Of termination remarkably

er the seeds are buried the better is
the vitality preserved and the harder

Over one-half Of the voters in
France are agriculturists and seventy
per cent OF them are landowners.
Three-fourths Of the landowners
are small peasant owners. The cul-
tivation of the soil is intensive.
Every inch Of land, as John D. Rookie
feller remarked on his return from
France, is made to bear cereals or
fruit or vegetables or marketable
flowers. And the rule Of life is that
something must be left over for an
other year after the expenses Of liv-
ing are met. 1t is system of fru-
gality that Americans have not yet
learned, perhaps because they have
not had to, but one that excites their
admiration as a national virtue, be-
cause it means real independence and
an assurance against the future.
