Flames From the Water.

Natural gas is a wonderful thing,
and the tricks it can play seem to up
set many laws of nature. Up Deer
Creek, in Allen county, a short dis
lance from the big gusher recently
brought in by the Prime Western
Spelter company, the drillers have a
pumping plant ~tossupply the boiler of
the drill rig with water. Among the
pipes that are run down to the creek
is one carrying the gas which leaks
from the casing of the big we'll This
pipe has been run out into midstream
and the escaping gas causes the water
to boil violently. The escaping gas
has been ignited, and so this boiling
fountain in the middle of the creek
burns with a hot, boiling flame, each
bubble being filled with gas. The
sight at night is weird, and such a
fountain would be attractive in a park
but for the fact that a good quantity
of gas would be consumed.-Kansas

Stray Dog Has Sparrow Associate

A curious sight in one of the prin-
cipal streets is a stray dog whose
constant associate is a sparrow which
seems to have acquired the absurd
habit of perching on the dogs head.
The amusing feature of the thing is
the solemn quiet with which the dog
receives the attention. of his feathered
friend, turning its head only when the
bird gets upon the end of his nose
a spot which is, apparently, rather
sensitive.
The meeting of the two generally
takes place at noon, when the dog has
finished foraging for his morning
meal.-Duluth News-Tribune.

"The question to which theseafigures
will bring to many thoughtful men is
How much of this vast increase of
wealth have the true heirs of the land,
the Southern people, gathered to them
selves, and how much have they allowed
strangers to the soil to appropriate? p
Have our people made the most of our
sections resources, or has our country
been exploited by Northern capital and
Northern aggressiveness? We have no
fault to find with Northerners who put
Northern money and Northern brains
and energy into Mississippi fields of in
dustry. They are to be welcomed here,
bu would it not be better if our W
people were more numerously represent
ed among the captains of industry? Have
we not allowed others to supply what
what we had in MISREPRESENTATION to
see our great opportunities, the progress
i've energy to overcome the inertia of an
old and fixed economic regime, and the
faith to take the chances? And of the
tremendous reward, could not our own
people have reaped a larger and juster
share of the harvest? In al age of high
development we of this section of Missis-
sippi live in a land for the most part yet
u~ndispoiled of its virgin opportunities.
It's undeveloped are still in ma
tive hands, ard it remains to be seen
whether we ourselves shall develop them
or continue to raise cotton and look on
while others coin our potential wealth
into current specie of the land"
As has been said by this writer, the
larger part of our available assets in
the shape of undeveloped resources are
still in the hands of our own people, and
At remains for them to do the work of
developing them and reaping the lions
share of the profits to accrue which be-
longs to them. Mississippians, consider
carefully the thoughts brought out in
this article and begin now this work of
development that means so much to the
future welfare of OR great State and
its loyal people, if done by them and
the profits kept where they rightfully be-
long.

makes a good basket and the people are
willing to pay a good price for a good

can be accomplished by purpose and de-
termination.

Enjoy Life--Later.

Smiths obituary set me to nnusing

man and died worth 100000. Almost
every week he had confidentially told me
that next year he intended to retire
from bushes and enjoy life. Next year
came and he repeatedly told me the same
thing. 1t was always next year. By
and-by he would enjoy life. Yes, by
and-by. But Smith died with apopleHs,
and by-and-by never came to him on this

OGDEN. April 21-The regular stake
conference of Weber stake was held IN
Tho Ogden tabernacle today with three
sessions. At the forenoon session the
building was crowded, as usual, and
vas once more proven TO be inadequate
10 tho needs of the people of Weber
stake, many being unable to gain ad.
nittance, In the afternoon the situa-
hon was really more aggravated, and
bven the doors could not be reached.
The cry of Israel is going up against
the spending of the church money IN
the operating OF the politics of the
State, while the big and populous stake
of Weber is held back because a suitable
place Of worship with sufficient capacity
ls not provided.
AT the morning session the Saints
we're addressed by Apostle George Teas
dale on the general doctrines of the
rhurch and the need Of their being OBJ
served, including those Of celestial mar
pc attained. re was followed by Apos-
lie David o. Mckay, who reprehended
he continual Sabbath breaking of the
Saints and stated that instead Of ct
lending the conference many of the
Saints were enjoying Themselves in
pleasure resorts of the canyon and that
turing the afternoon many more would
De there instead Of at the tabernacle.
AT the time he was speaking there
we're many Saints standing outside tne
doors, who could nor gain admission,
This is probably the reason that more Of
!he Saints do not attend the services in
the tabernacle on conference occasions,
Many comments were expressed on the
Ibsurdity * lecturing the Saints on
heir failure to attend worship when no
ldeQuate place for worship has been
provided, and the address was generally
condemned as being inconsistent.

meetings were, as usual, of the highest
srade. Professor Joseph Ballantyne, di.
