Demands Recognition

The following extract from letter by Ex- Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah, published in a recent issue of the Salt Lake Tribune, is we'll worth reading in connection with the renewed effort now being made by the American Min ing Congress to bring about the crea' tion of department of mining at the coming session of Congress.
 Senator Kearns points out fact which is not fully recognized, viz, that the commercial prosperity of the coun- try is entirely dependent upon it's mineral production and that without continued increase of that production, the business of the country must be brought to standstill.
 The letter is in part as follows:
 "I wonder if those who attempt to look into the future and who make mental pictures contrasting the great ness of this country ten or twenty years to come with it's greatness now have proper conception of the i'm portant work the mountain states shall exert in the couutry's development?
 "I wonder if our statesmen, our pub licists, and those who make and ad- minister the law, realize the vast in- fluence which mineral mining in the United States has on the country's commerce. wonder if Congress and the President have shown the deep concern for this great industry it's commercial importance aud influence deserves. l wonder if the people understand how much it contributes to their material welfare?
 "If one reflects on these three things, the answer must be in the negative, And the answer itself should stimulate action not only in the West, where greater attention to the latent forces about us should produce swifter results than elsewhere, but in the entire busi- ness world.
 "It is not sufficient to say that the mining industry of the United States is the greatest. is the most important, has the largest capital invested or is the most progressive, for while tlese things are true, it may also be said the industry is embryonic. The country's vast mineral resources are yet untouch- ed. Mountains that yield no profits or small profits to-day, under the touch of modern appliances and equip ment tomorrow will pour forth great streams of wealth. And this wealth is national wealth. This development is national development. The product of this field of industry is the strongest pillar in the country's commercial structure.
 ''Not the most thoughtful nor the most enthusiastic man-he who lives among the mines and witnesses the tremendous work already being ac- complished in the West-can under stand the importance of all this on the country at large. He sees cities build ed with this wealth. He realizes that hundreds of thousands are daily em- ployed in the expanding of the indus try. He knows what local influence is exerted, but it's effect on the commerce of the country generally he does not conceive because it is ineonceiyable.
 "There was undispated cause for recognition by the government of agricultural and other industrial forces in the establishing of national bureaus and in the appointment of cabinet off, cials to represent them. Is there less reason for giving federal encourage ment to mines and mineral develop ment?n

NIT. Bryan's Goat.

Last year William Jennings Bryan visited Cornell university. While be- ing entertained at dinner by promi- nent legal fraternity, he told the fol- lowing story on himself:
 "Once out in Nebraska l went to protest against my real estate assess ment, and one of the things of which l particularly complained was assessing goat at twenty five dollars. l claim ed that goat was not real property in the legal sense of the word and should not be assessed. One of the assessors, a very pleasant-faced old man, very obligingly said that l could 20 up stairs with him and together we would look over the rules and regnla- tions and see what could be done.
 "We looked over the rules and finally the old man asked: Does your goat run loose on the road?"
 "Wen, sometimes said l, wondering what the penalty was for that dreadful offense.
 "Does he butt?' again quearied the old man.
 "Yes,' answered, he butts
 "Well, said the old man, looking at me, this rule says tax all that certain property running and abutting on the highway. l don't see that can do anything for you. Good day sir.7

Judge Rigg last week overuld a
demurrer to the answer of the de-
PENDANTS in an action brot by *. w
STAFFORD against +. c. Huntley state
horticultural inspector. and ]. NJ.
Brown. county horticultural Inspector
The complaint In the action allegez
that part Of carload of fruit con-
signed to a North Dakota point by
STAFFORD and others. was condemned
and destroyd by the defendants. Suit
was brot on the grounds that such
action on the part of the defendant,
altho in accordance with the state
horticultural laws. was not protected
by the federal laws, and the horticul-
tural laws declard unconstitutional.
The action of Judge Rigg in over
ruling the demurrer is of great i'm
portance, as 1t has been n question for
some time whether or not the state
horticultural laws were constitutional.
The Stafford action is lookt upon
by attorneys as being test suit to
ascertain the opinion of the bench as
to the constitutionality of the horticul-
tural laws and the action taken by
the court is regarded as being prac-
tically sustainance of the state laws.
