THE SALARY INCREASE.

Burlington Hawk-Eye. &C Congress
has done a wise and equitable thing
in voting the increase of salaries. The
total increase is as a drop in the
barrel of water in it's relation to the
other expenditures Of the government
and is none too much compensation
for the services demanded of the sen.
ators and representatives in the great.
est legislative body in the world. There
will be some cheap criticism of the
increase, but the common sense of
the country will justify the action Of
congress.

VS.. ENTHUSIASM


Ottumwa is city of homes. It's
people are home-loving people and
they are proud of their homes as they
are proud Of their city, The street
cars at night are filled with men and
women returning to their homes whose
faces shine with contentment
But did you ever study these faces
just little closer and see what lies
behind this contentment? If you did
you should see something that seems
like listlessness omething of the
look worn by the healthy man after
he has enjoyed a good, substantial
dinner and is just drawing up a seat
for his after dinner cigar
And if you saw all this, did you Just
turn it over in your mind and try to
conceive how UNNECESSARILY better it
would be If that something behind the
look of contentment was enthusiasm
and not listlessness or indifference?
1t would not take an ounce of con
tentment from the light hearts re
fected in the contented faces. 1t would
add just little measure to the gen
eral share of happiness, that is all.
For Indifference is selfishness.
And after carrying out this line Of
thought thus far If YOU carry it further

heaval of springs in the bed of the riv- CT. Excavations along the banks of the stream have shown that the salt beds extend downward far under the sur face until their walls are dissolved in underground streams. The Salt Fork River takes it's name from saline fields and the waters of the stream for more than hundred miles are made briny by contact with the deposits. Fish thrive in the stream
 The only use to which the salt fields have so far been put is that of hunting ground. During misty days in early winter tens of thousands of wild ducks and geese congregate on the reservation and many of them fall prey to sportsmen, who lie in wait be- hind improvised blinds. The Denver, Enid & Gulf Railway traverses the salt fields for several miles and in digging the roadbed it was necessary to excavate large quantities of salt, some of which was marketed in boxes and barrels But the government has refused to permit the erection of salt factories and the utilization of the pro- duet.

A Barren Mnste of Salt.

Thirty-five miles to the west of Enid, Ok, lies the Saline reservation, a tract of land unused and uninhabited, but of great mineral value. It is a lake of dry salt, triangular in outline, with one of it's three sides adjoining the Salt Fork river on the north. This reservation is about thirty square miles in area. Its boundaries are as distinctly outlined as those of body of water and its surface is as barren as the Sahara.
 Many attempts have been made to determine the amount of salt deposit ed on this field. but the results have been mere guesses. The ground over the entire area is completely covered with coarse salt of an excellent quality varying from on inch to several feet in depth. A representative of the geo. logical department at Washington who visited the field recently, stated that in his opinion there are from 50, 900 to 75.OOO barrels of pure salt which could be taken up without disturbing the ground
 GeoloEists say that this salt field was formed by an overflow of the riv- CT which borders it, and that the over flow was caused by the sudden up

CARS TWENTY SECONDS APART.
City of Detroit Insists Street Railway
 COmpnny Can Operate Them.

Detroit May 13.-Contending that the good-service ordinance passed several weeks ago by the council and intended to remedy the existing street car con gestion during rush hours is reason able, and denying the company alle- gations that 1t is impossible to comply with it, the city of Detroit to-day made answer in the United States district court to the Detroit United Railway company's petition for a permanent restraining order against the ordi. nance. Judge Swan three weeks ago issued temporary restraining order against the enforcement of the ordi- nance, and made it returnable to-day Corporation Counsel Tarsney support ed his brief on behalf of the city with affidavits from Tom L. Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, and A. B. DuPont, a street railway expert, stating that it is possible for the company to operate cars twenty seconds apart. He also argued that the federal court has no jurisdiction.
 After hearing the city's answer Judge Swan adjourned the hearing until Mon |day. He did not pass on the question Iof jurisdiction raised by the corporation counsel.

SENSATIONAL SUIT
Tried Before Justice of the Peace w.
M. Ross of Rutland.

Rutland. Nov. S.--A justice suit
with sensational features was tried
before Justice of the Peace w. NJ
Ross of Rutland Thursday afternoon
Mrs. Mary Smith of Chicago asked
compensation from liver Fitzgerald, a
Rutland marble polisher for medical
services and nursing for Miss Mary
Porter of Rutland, who, she asserts,
gave birth to a child at her home in
the summer of 1906. Mrs. Smith al
leges that Fitzgerald is the father of
the child and she has come all the
way from Chicago to try to make
him pay the expenses incident to the
birth. The ad damnum includes a
doctors bill for $126 presented to Mrs
Smith who is Miss Porter's aunt.
Fitzgerald is a husband of sister of
Miss Porter and they have two chill
dren. The Porter girl left home sud.
denly little over a year ago and for
a time even her family did not know
her where abouts. She was we'll
known in Rutland and her disappear
ance caused considerable excitement,
the police being asked to help in the
search. The case will go to county
court.
