The Rare Old Grizzly.

The grizzly has now become so rare
that even his habits and history are
frequently misstated, and by those. too
who should speak with authority II
is very common supposition that he
is an animal Of seclusive and solitary
nature, who wanders alone along the
snow-line of the Sierras and the
Rockies, descending only occasionally
upon predatory visits to the valleys,
as Thomas S. Mosby le.l.5 oat in
Harper weekly. But the grizzly is
solitary cIy because he is now facing
determination, and he inhabits the
snow-line because he has been driven
from valley and plain. and there is no.
where else to 60.

II rsre ~rapinet Ais. some time to
come, the attorney general said in
response 70 query concerning the
publication III New York OF a rather
indefinite statement that he would
eventually resign because OF his
"dippant" treatment of the great
financial and Industrial enterprises Of
the country. This story said that he
would not get out now because that
might be taken to mean that the all
ministration disapproyed his activity
against the trusts, but that he would
leave the department OF Justice within
comparatively short time.
There was considerable talk here
today that Secretary Taft in his Co
lumbus speech came dangerously near
to placing himself in Mr. Bonaparte
class BY declaring that prominent and
wealthy men should be jailed.
When this comment was mentioned
to the attorney general today he re
Piled:
Yes; there is danger of Mr.. Taft
getting into bad company"

Utah soon is TO see an actual app1-
cation Of the tunneling machine being

ing into some of the Utah mountains
early in July This particular wheel IS
to be eight feet in diameter, and en-"
pineers expect it TO make considerably
over five feet per hour. The driving
engine for this machine is being made
by the Ingersol- Rand company of New
York.
Mr.. Beichcr states that all the pat
ents touching upon this invention have
been secured, Germany being the last
country to fall into line. The fact that
the patent in Germany has been Sc
cured gives great satisfaction to the To-
cal officials, for there are no more tech
nical countries IN the world than this.
Mr.. Belcher is alive with impatience
to place this first wheel into action,
and he stated yesterday that he is un-
certain as to just what particular sec
tion Of the State it will be tried out in
first. There arc several opportunities
throughout mining Utah for the ma
chine, so there Will be plenty of hills
