two miles away, and he found Engi-
neer Rugby lying on the engine with
hands and feet tied and a gag in his
mouth. A rope to the whistle was fast
iened to beam and the steam was fast
expanding in the boiler. Olson cut the
ropes that bound Rugby.
Rugby's story to Olson and others
is startling one. He said that wher. he
left camp in the morning two men fol-
lowed him. He built a fire in his en-
lgine and was oiling when he was
struck from behind with a bludgeon
He whirled about and faced two men,
whom he recognized as characters who
had brought a woman to Electron a
month ago. One of the men had told
around that he intended to marry the
woman, but Rugby says he learned that
they had enticed her to the woods by
lengaging her as a cook and tried to in
duce her to live a life of shame. She
refused and the men locked her in a
small cabin near Electron and gave
her but little to eat. Rugby released
her and sent her to her home in Taco
ma. This is supposed to be the motive
for the assault

"Woodland."

Two sets of scenery are used in Henry
w. Savages elaborate revival of the
Pixly-Luders bird opera, Woodland.
Both are said to excel anything ever
before turned out by Walter Burridge,
Mr.. Savage's celebrated scenic
painter. The first scene represents
forest glen at the end Of a rocky canon.
Huge bouiders form a sort of natural
ampitheater, and the scene has the ef-
feet of being a forest primeval." The
second scene is somewhat lighter In
tone, and represents a birchen grove
with a dense chapparel of blossoming
trees on the edge of a placid lake.
Gentle lillocks run up from both sides,
and the lake is seen through the in
.erlacing fringe of tall birches. 1t forms
the sylvan setting for this exquisite
musical poem of bird fairy land.

Lower Mississippi a system of levees
Is essential to retain the water In fiooo
time but tie previous effort of these
levees has been TO make the channel
more shallow and thus neutralize their
protective influence The same expert
ence has occurred with the Thesis in
hungary. the Pc i'm italy and the
Hoane Ho in China. The beds OF
some of these rivers have actually
been elevated above the adjacent land
by the long action of the levees, ana
they thus become greater menace TO
the country every year. Permanent
Improvement of river channel would
include a system of levecs which would
cause the current to scour instead OF
depositing silt. Fortunately the ques-
ton of levees does not cor EN- the
Columbia.
By way of the Mississippi the middle
west would have access to the Gulf,
but this would. not be sufficient. There
is a great area CT country which is
ira versed by the Missouri. Until that
river is improved the Dakotas. Mon
tana and Nebraska must depend upon
the railroads for the nut'et. and we
have learned what this means. Then
a tteel. waterway should be provided
from Oswego. on Lake Ontario to
Troy, on the Hudson. The present
plans of New York provided for barge
canal at an expense of $110.000,000,
but this is insufficient. Canada has
under construction a ship canal from
Georgian bay by way Of Lage Simcoe
10 the north shore of Lake Ontario.
With this complete the supremacy of
the lakes will pass to our northern
neighbor and the wheat and ores of
the northwest will go to Europe, with
out trans shipment, down the st. Law
renee. There must be a waterway
across New York which will permit
cargoes TO go to Europe by way OF
New York City without breaking bulk.
The west needs not only a deep water
way to the Gulf, but also ship routes
along its natural eastern outlet. SAYS

Interoceanic canals like the Sr,n-:
and the Panama strike the imagina-
tioE, but their Importance is very
much less than that of INLAND water
ways like the canal across New York
and the Canadian route THROUGH Geor-
gian bay. 1t is our internal trade that
has made America prosperous Stin,
the waterways to the Gulf derives part
OF its Importance from its being a
feeder to the isthmian route. This
route will relieve the congestion of the
continental railroads. In fact, it will
greatly lessen their inportanc, to
trade as their managers we'll. know.
But there will be trade enough for all

IITAH's SCHOOL SYSTEM.

state superintendent Nelson's report
ON the public schools to Governor Cut
Ter, shows a gratifying condition in the
school spstem even if it does indicate
that the growth of school population
outruns the increase Of revenue with
which to provide facilities for pupils. e
During 1906 there were 92.S77 pupils
in attendance and the expenditures per
capita were S21.2S. The proportionate
number Of children OF school age in
relation TO total population is greater
than IN any other state. and only six
other states spent more per capita on
instruction. The superintendent recon-
nends an apportionment Of state funds
in aid Of high schools, a recommends
ton OF debatable value so far as the
larger cities are concerned, because il
means in effect a heavier levy in Salt
Lake, Ogden and the larger towns
without proportionate return to those
places which will bear NOSE of the cost
IL the recommendation carries.
There is no question but that Mr.. Mel
son is right in his declaration that
salaries Of teachers are too low. The
requirements I'm examination have been
raised with the natural result that more
time is required for preparation to
teach and fewer teachers are available
for the schools though the demand is
growing constantly. In the state, out
side the cities Of the first and second
class, teachers for seven months earn
an average of S6917 per month or less
than $500 for the school term. Even il
a teacher can find occupation in the
vacation and so supplement school sal
aries. his earning capacities for the
year is so low that he cannot be re-
tanned in school employ for any great
length OF time. The effect is 10 dis
courage teachers of experience who
would be most valuable and bring about
n constant change in the personnel of
the teaching staff much TO the detri-
ment OF the school system.
The same argument applies in cities
of the first. and second class because,
although salaries are higher, the cost
II living is proportionately greater and

Tic modesty and I'm spite of another

had seconded his own nomination for

1t viii strike some folks as peculiar

the election of Israelson as chairman

county funds or county business. he
will be in a position to justify anything
be may do; all the Endorsement he
needs will be forthcoming from his

actions are not entirely satisfactory he
can always fall back on the plea that
his intentions were all right even IL
his actions, as in the case of the mis-
sing ballots, do not square with the vul-

II Mr.. Israleson is a fair sample of
the Cache county republicans, which
we would dislike to believe. both the
county and the party up there are in
a parlous way. Either as a shining
example Of citizenship or as a spirit

second his own nomination and vote for
himself TO get his job as chairman.
