Great Attractions Located in Inaeces.
sible Regions.
II Is not generally known that the
three greatest natural bridges in the
worid--at least so far as present
knowledge goes-arc located In an al.
most inaccessible portion OF south
eastern Utah.
Iho country is uninhabitcd and I'M
inhabitable for the greater part. the
only settlement of any account being
the small town called Bluff. OH the
san Juan river, and the nearest rail-
road station icing Dolores. in Colo.

The country OF the natural bridges
can be reached via Blum. going by
wagons to the latter place. then by
horses with pack train.
LAST year member of the Ma
tional Geographic Society equipped an
expedition with surveyors and artists
and sent 1t out to make careful
study of the bridges. According TO
the expeditions report. as published
in the National Geographic Magazine,
no one should think of going into this
region without having thoroughly
studied all the conditions. The few
guides that have been there have y
very limited knowledge of the coun.
Try and the main and side canons

Next came the Caroline bridge, with

Shall coal be taken to Chicago
from Indiana or from West Vir-
ginia? Shall iron and steel pro-
ducts be manufactured in Pitts

Shall wheat be made into flour at

jobbers who are reaching out for
the trade of the orient get their
supplies from the Mississippi val

Will those supplies be carried by

and similar questions will be large

If the government owns the

as it now fixes the price of postage
or the internal revenue tax on any
article; and it is conceivable that.
as the result of an election or in
the redemption of party pledges, a
system of rates might be adopted
which would enormously benefit
one or more sections of the coun-
try whose representatives combine
to that end, while placing other
sections at serious disadvantage.
In this direction | see the great

EFFECT ON COMPETING
SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY

The fair adjustment of rates as
between different communities and
different articles of traffic Is a mat
ter of the highest consequence, be-
cause upon that adjustment de-
ponds the most commanding COM
mercial interests.
If the state owned the roads all
secret Determinations would dis
appear, but then, as now, the ques-
ton would arise, for instance, how
rates on wheat should compare
dith rates on flour; how rates on
dressed beef and packing house
products should compare with rates
on live animals; how rates on
grain and grain products, produced
In the great middle west, to north
Atlantic cities should compare
with rates on the same articles to
ports on the Gulf of Mexico.
These and an endless variety of
similar questions would demand
solution under government owner
ship precisely as they demand solu-
ton at the present time under pri-
vate ownership. And the danger
is that those questions would be-
come political issues to be settled
by the action of the majority party.
can see how railway officials
and employees, all being govern
ment servants, might be kept out
of politics. can see how a train
ed and efficient force might be
equal to the complicated task of
management and operation. can
see how the financial difficulties
could be overcome and rates so adj
justed to needed revenue as to
save the people from any indirect
taxation for railway support, and
at the same time give them ex-
tremely cheap transportation.
But have grave apprehension
along the line now suggested.
More and more as modern indus
trial methods are applied and per-
fected, as business is conducted
upon an enlarging scale with a
narrowing margin of profit upon
each unit of production. more and
more will the question of relative
rates become controlling.

Barring display of amusement
by several members of the COM
pany over the bad finish of Brutus,
the Charles Hanford production OF
Julius Caesar" last night was up
to the usual standard of that
actors work in Shakespeare. What
tickled the scoffers at Brutus was
not explained. Brutus fingered dis
tressingly in speech and action
and possibly that was it. Hanford
was himself as Marc Antony, and
he has a first rate william in Kline
as Cassius. A good house enjoyed
the performance last night. The
engagement ends this evening with
"Cymbeline," in which Marie Drof-
nah has the leading part.

SHERMAN BELL SAYS 1T
Is NOT A SQUARE DEAL

The following somewhat surprising
statement was made by General Sher-
man Bell in Denver on Sunday while
discussing the Moyer-Haywood trial
in progress at Boise. Idaho:
II shall not appear as witness
said General Bell today, except OF
nv own volltion, but If any attempt
to lob the prisoners is made, or any
attempt to use me as a tool either the
Western Federation Of Miners or the
mine owners, give notice that ! shall
take a hand.
"Why should they try these men in
Idaho? During the troubles here and
before the Steunenberg trouble, there
were 10 persons killed in Colorado;
and vet they take men from Colo
RADIO to Idaho to try them for crimes
committed I'm Colorado. Why don't
they try them here? Is it because
they are afraid?
dThe whole thing is farce. 1t is
unfair and un-American. | detest the
nrIncIples of Meyer and Haywood,
but / think they should get square
deal and If you take men from a state
where the alleged crimes were com
mitted to a place supposedly hostile
TO them in another state, I don't call
It a square DEAL"
