which will long be felt, The funeral
took place there Sunday afternoon ana

the jury in the case of Mrs. Annie Nj.

former United States Senator Arthur
Nj. Brown, of Utah, at a hotel in this

national attention during the past

them and they grow more cautious.
Bankers see no breakers ahead, yet
they think that they should be con-
sentative, and they begin t. call in
their loans which are not quite so
gilt.edged as before. They are also
more careful about accommod ating
their borrowing customers, SO that
they may be a little better prepared in
case anything adverse should happen.
These precautions spread. Distrust,
fear, anxiety, a feeling of uncertainty,
like the rising tide of gossip, sweep
like wildtire all over the country.
Soon everybody is talking hard times;
all are influenced by the c%ontagion
OF the perpetual fear Of suggestion.
Cautious men think perhaps they have
been spreading out a little too much,
and they begin to %retrench, discharge
help and cut down sal aries and ex-
penses generally. Mercantile houses,
manufactures, railroads and other
concerns stop extensions and i'm
provements and take in sail until all
danger is passed.
AS q consequence public confidence
is shaken and there is a general
str angulation of business all over the
country. Important contracts, the
erection of large buildings and ex.
tension negotiations are called off.
There is a marked decline in business
trans actions of all kinds. Nobody
has confidence to branch out: every.
body is hedging.
Such a conditions Of things began
with the recent investigation and pro-
secution of certain great combinations
of capital. After the investig alton
these great concerns began to %retrench,
and when the whole country caught
the spirit of caution stocks began to
drop, business houses began to fail,
and the first we knew there was a sort
of mental business panic, a condition
wholly uncalled for. unw%arranted.
Crop prospects were most promising
and the country at large was in SUI
perb condition. The panic was main
~ mental, caused by fear and anxiety
resulting from lack OF confidence, gen.
eral distrust of the future.

Mill and Factories Resume.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-From every
quarter Of the country today come re-
ports which show beyond a doubt that
the temporary check to industrial
prosperity felt as q result OF the tinan-
cial panic is at an end, that there is q
re-awakening everywhere, with the re-
opening of mills and factories, the
putting of employees back to work,
and the renewal OF orders by whole
sale and retail business houses.
In New England, and especially in
Massachusetts, the wool market has
taken u fresh start. In Pennsylvania
the steel and iron industry is resum'
ing its normal tenor and in New York
the State Knit Goods Manufacturers
association, numbering 56 large con
Germs, agreed to cancel no more or

Credit is given to Mr.. Dixon, more
than to any other man, for the two
reclamation projects that are to work
such benefits to Montana-the Huntley
and Sun river projects. Dixon vas

officials until he had obtained the as
surance thai these projects would be

This new senator is forty years Of
age. He was born in North Carolina
of Quaker stock-thc lineage and
birthplace of Speaker Cannon. The
speaker has kept a fatherly eye on his
young friend from Montana, greatly
to the young statesman's adv antage.
The prospect before Senator Dixon is
singularly bright, and he will go con
trary to a life of honest and success
full endeavor if he does not make a
useful senator.

confidence. The moment business men
get scared and people begin to talk

IMPORTANCE OF IRRIGATION.

The benefits that will result from
government irrigation projects are the
subject of comment in the presidents
message, aud congress is advised that
expenditures of government funds in
reclamation work are a good invest
ment. The presidents views upon this
matter are given in part as follows:
Irrig alton should be far more eX.
tensively developed than at present,
not only in the states of the great
plains and the Rocky mountains, but
in many others, as, for instance, in
large portions Of the South Atlantic
and gulf states, where it should go
hand in hand, with the reclamation of
swamp land. The federal government
should seriously devote itself to this
task, realizing that utilization of
waterways and water power, forestry,
irrig alton, and the reclamation of
lands threatened with overflow, are
all interdependent parts of the same
problem.
The work of the reclamation service
in developing the larger opportunities
of the western half OF our country for
irrigation is more important than al
most any other movement. The con.
slant purpose OF the government in
connection with the reclamation ser.
vice has been to use the water re.
sources OF the public lands for the
ultimate greatest good of the greatest
number: in other words, to put upor
the land permanent home makers, tt
use and develop it for themselves anC
for their children and children's child
ren.
There has been, Of course, OppOsi
ton to this work: opposition from
some interested men who desire to eN
haust the land for their own immed
late profit without regard to the vel
fare of the next generation, and op
position from honest and well-meauin
men who did not fully understand tn
subject or who did not look ia
enough ahead. This opposition is,
think, dying away, and u peopl
are understanding that it would
utterly wrong to allow q few indivi.
uals to exhaust for their own tempo,
airy personal profit the resour
which ought to be developed throus
use SO as to be conserved for the pc
manent common advantage of the PEI
pie as a whole.
