"The use Of Siberian ponies in the

experiment, but the hardness and
strength they have developed on the
bitterly cold plains Of eastern Siberia
where they are accustomed to live in
the open all through the winter, justi-

be attended with good results. With

The Endurance, despite her worA

The advance In wholesale prices Of
meat last Monday has set the retail deal
ers to thinking ana they are asking them
selves the question. ''Will the consumer
stand for an additional advance The
retail grOccrS are in very much the same
pOSit as the manufacturers and job
bers have been piling on the price for
long time and they have been compelled
10 advance their own prices. The gem
eral advance i'm almost everything manu-
featured or raised has had it's effect on
the patience of the consumer and he is
growing tired of the mining camp prices
On the other hand the retail man and
the wholesaler have troubles of their own.
They must pay the price asked for goods
or go out Of business. The reason for
the advance in prices is laid to the pros
Derity OF the country. Labor is higher
than il was two years ago and the dc
nand for goods is greater.

BURGLARS STILL BUSY.

Store at Bingham Junction
Broken Into.
Especial to The HeraldO

Bingham Junction. Jan. 9.-Ths place
seems 10 be infested by gang of rob-
bers. the fourth robbery of the week oc-
curing this morning at o'clock when
the West Jordan Lumber companys
hardware store was broken into and at
least 800 worth of watches. pocket
knives razors and shot guns taken. En-
trance was gained by removing one of
the plate glass windows The jewelry
cases were overlooked by the trieves. The
cash drawers had been left open by Mr.
Alcorn. the manager. while a piece Of
paper left top of the safe told them
how to work the combination in case they
desired 10 look inside. 1t is customary
for Mr.. AlcOrn to have his watch dog
locked in the building all night but as
luck would have it the dog was allowed
to remain ''off shift for that one night
Officers are securing the country for
the guilty men. while special detectives
have looked over the ground and are
working on the case.
About twenty-five hours before the
robbery took place an attempt was made
to rob the jewelry store of Ben Lewis.
The metallic door upon which they
worked shows the determined effort made
to gain admission. They worked to no
avail. however. as the noise they made
attracted paSsers-bY.
The business men of the town are
worked up over the conditions as they ex-
ist here at the present time and steps
are being taken to secure the services o.
a deputy shefiff or other waschman to
take care of the town al night.
