Too Much For the Cavalry.

Some one with taste for figures es-
Inmates that any half dozen of the great
armOred cruisers that will come to the
jamestown exposition next year will
have combined engine strength that
would if represented in horses equal
the number of horses in the cavalry
arm of the Russian army, and Russia
has more cavalry troopers than any
other nation on earth. The battleship
Maine has an engine strength of all
the horses in the Umted States cavalry.
The engines of the battleship Virginia
or Louisiana if fastened to a fixed OBJ
ject could pull the whole United States
cavalry into the sea. This being the
case we advise our cavalry to keep
well away from the shore.-Army and

British Tea Again.

A dispatch from Buffalo reports the
grocers in that city to be up in arms
because their customers are acquiring
the habit of crossing on the ferryboat
to Fort Erie to buy twenty-five cent
Friday bargain tea. The dispatch says:
canadian tea is especially popular
because the brand sold at % cents a
pound at Fort Erie is even better than
the fifty cent tea sold in Buffalo. Tea
is on the free list at present. The gov
eminent allows person to bring in
five pounds at time. 1t is reported
that an effort will be made to have a
duty placed on this commodity"
Now, there is a situation for the
statesmen Of the great republic. Think
Of the enormity Of the crime. How ''in-
famous and disgraceful," to quote the
medical councils terms, is the conduct
Of those Buffalo citizens who prefer the
better brand of tea when it costs only
half the money! How reasonably I'M

$1O,OOO.OOO to Save Half n Mile.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad is spending $1O,OOO,O0O to save
six and seventeenth miles. An army
Of men and machinery are working
day and night to complete the new
Belen cutoff between TeXico, n. NJ, on
the Pecos Valley line of the Santa Fe,
and Rio PuercO, thirty miles east of
Albuquerque, n. NJ. The length of the
main line to Emporia is 124 miles,
while by the cutoff it will be 1909
miles.
1t is asked why this vast expenditure
of money if the distance saved is only
81 miles? AS a matter of fact, the
Santa Fee is really spending this money
for the purpose of avoiding half a mile
between Albuquerque, n. NJ, and La
Junta, Colo. The other GO miles saw
ed is not material. 1t is the 1000
feet difference in altitude between the
Ration mountain, the highest point on
the present line, and the Abo pass, the
highest point on the proposed cutoff,
that is really material-Kansas City

nemormOnized Salt Lake City.
You do not think of New York as
community of Dutch farmers under
Peter Stuyvesant. Philadelphia is now
something more than a colony of Qua
kers. Detroit is no longer a French
fort and trading post. Nor Is Salt
Lake City a frontier community OF re-
ligious zealots threatening with ami
hilation all outsiders" who venture
there.
The Dutch and their descendants are
still in New York. The Quakers are IN
Philadelphia. Children of the French
remain in Detroit and New Orleans.
In each Of these communities these
various elements help to give individ-
uality, even though they are in the rpi-
nOrity. The MOrmOns are undoubtedly
in Salt Lake City, but 1t is a fact not
generally understood that they consti-
tute a minority there
A careful political census made In
1904 disclosed the fact that the Latter
Day Saints, including all persons of
Mormon birth who had not openly
apostaslzed, formed approximately 30
per cent Of the population. Since then
the non-MormOn population has In
creased so rapidly that it is safe to say
at present there are two gentiles for
every Mormon in Salt Lake City and
suburbs, and the gentiles continue to
pour in-Pacific Monthly.

Ourkee Citizens Clean Out Ganq

TWO ARE summARILY DISPOSED OF
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE JOINS
HANDS WITH THE
CITIZENS.

After suffering injuries to property,
stock and homes at the hands Of a
gang of ruffians the citizens of Durkee
have at last taken the matter into
their own hands and have organized
to rid that section of the country Of
the lawless and disreputable charac-
ters which hang around there. The
committee Of honest, respectable and
reputable citizens have taken up the
work with a determination to carry
it out and already two cases have been
summarily disposed of and they are
now heating up a barrel of tar and
collecting feathers for several other
cases.
The first man to be caught by the
committee was young fellow named
Ellridge. He was suspected of horse
stealing. He was arrested and brought
in for trial before Justice of the
Peace j. c.. Correll. Col. James A.
Painting was selected as prosecuting
attorney and Ellridge was convicted
after a fair and impartial trial He was
sentenced to one year in Jail and SEN
tence was suspended provided he
would leave the country. This he
promised to do and committee of
stalwarts was appointed to assist in
getting him out. They gave him some
valuable assistance and from all re-
ports it is hardly likely that Ellridge
will return to Durkee or Baker county.
Lloyd Hindman then fell under the
ban of the citizens and he was
brought into court charged with using
obscene language. The court gave him
speedy trial and fined him $25 and
costs upon conviction by a jury.

to accommodate the veterans and their
families School houses and in some
cases even churches and public halls
