under way to provide comfortable ac-

THE DRIFTING SNOW
The Blockade on the Uintah Railroad
Finally Broken.-MaiI
Long Delayed.

The snow blockade on the Uintah
railroad. at the Baxter Pass was fin
ally broken last Sunday and the first
mail consisting of fifty nine bags
of mail matter, was delivered at the
Vernal postofce Monday night. says
the Vernal Express. 1t was the first
that had been delivered since the
preceding Saturday.
Mr.. McAndrews, of the Railway
company. stated upon his arrival here
that the cause of the trouble was the
heavy wind accompanying, at inter
walls. heavy snow storms that render
ed all their work useless until the
storm abated last Sunday morning.
The company had seventy-fve men
at work on this end of the blockade
and all Obtainable men on the other
end, but until the storm ceased the
wind filled in the drifts as fast as
the snow was shoveled out, thereby
undoing all their work 1t was also
almost impossible for the men to en-
dure the cold as the wind was so
fierce and the temperature so low.
They were not long getting out when
the storm ended, Mr.. McAndrews pro-
nounces this the heaviest winter he
has ever seen in this section of the
country. The company is well equip
ped for handling snow. Two snow
plows and five locomotives were em-
ployed in breaking the blockade. The
trains have been making regular
trips since Sunday

PROSPERITY SIDE OF THE
ANTLLIQUOR MOVEMENT

There is a new and growing factor
in our national prosperity. 1t is the
spread of the prohibition movement.
This remarkable development affects
more than the political and moral
i of our life. 1t touches the eco
nomic conditions even more closely.
The greatest waste of the American
people is their neglect of their natu-
raj sources OF wealth. But the great
est extravaganza regarding The wealth
already in possession is the support
given to saloons.
This is so automatic that it is only
the phenomenal ~retrenchment of that
extravaganza which now calls for its
statement. Throughout all the South
and West the restriction md, in wide
areas, the absolute prohibition of the
liquor traffic means greater stability
to good times a more eve distri-
button of prosperity, and added wealth
to that class which stands most in
need of good fortune.
Among collective groups as well
as with individuals money saved is
money earned" Let this country cul-
tivate the habit of thrift. wnicl the
saloon trade does more than any 9TH
er agency to discourage, and it will
be ~impregnably fortified against any
kind of financial disaster. A flourish
ing saloon business means a hand to
mouth existence for a great number
of the people of this country.
The utterly untenable notion that
the liquor traffic helps a community
or commonwealth in a commercial
way and makes it attractive will
give way in the test of actual expe-
rience. Fol a profigate circulation
of money there will he more and more
substituted he substantial ~independ-
ence of people with money for every
sort of sound and right investment

BRYAN SCORES THE MAN
WHO HoARDS HIS MONEY.

A recent dispatch from Lafayette
Indiana, in which William ]. Bryan
was reported to have signifed his will
lingness to again become a candidate
for the Presidency quotes him as
follows:
Il want you to know that our argu-
ments on the money question advanc-
ed in 1896 have been indicated, not
by the Republican party, but because
God Almighty o pity on the poor
people of the world and opened up
to them vast storehouses of gold"
Mr.. Bryan denounced tariff revision
as proposed by the Republicans n
charged the Republican party with
bad faith in promising revision. The
delay of a single year can much to
the people of this country, and they
are being d~efrauded out of hundreds
of millions of dollars in the meantime.
The people are ready to let the Dem
ocrats form the tariff, asserted Mr..
Bryan.
He declared that President Roose-
welt should not be held responsible
for the. present financial stringency.
Bryan placed the blame on the
Wall street gamblers.
Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as in
favor of the postal savings bank aad
said that ne believed 1T to be a better
plan thar an asset currency.
We are in the midst of a financial
stringency that is in some respects
more aeste than that of 1885," he
