TTyHE HERALD has announceo aus
termination to see that the law oil
Il the state embodied in the constitu-
tion prohibiting the granting OF re-
bates and special rates by common
carriers shall be enforced. 1t has al
ready put the matter UP to two or the
three members of the state boaru Oh
railroad commissioners without recelv-
ing any satisfactory assurances upon
their part that they will move IN tne
matter of enforcing the law, althoush
in mandatory terms the organic law ol
the state makes the enforcing OF TINS
law the duty for which the board OF
railroad commissioners OF the state
was established and for whlch Hs
members are elected and paid.
In default of action upon the part OF
the state board of railroad commissions
ers, to whom is primarily entrusted the
enforcement of the state law prohiplt-
ing rebates and special rates, the peo-
pie must look to the law officers OF tne
state and of its subordinate subdivis-
ions. the counties. for the enforcement
of this law. In other words, 1t is up
to the attorney general of the state
and to the district attorneys OF the
various counties of the state where
violations of the law against rebates
and special rates have occurred.
Plenty of Law for Attorney General
The Herald has been given to under.
stand through press dispatches tha'
the attorney general of the state has
expressed anxiety to discover some law
which the crimes of giving rebates and
special rates by common carriers--the
gravest and most destructive CONNER
ciaI crimes known to our aegean be
punished.
In order to assist the law officers OF
the state in the performance of their
duties, The Herald has submitted to
three prominent lawyers of the Los
Angeles bar the declarations of legal
principles embodied in editorials upon
rebating and special rates which 1t has
published, and has obtained their opin-
ions upon the legal points set forth In
these editorials The gentle. Len Sc
lected for this service were Judge John
d. Works, Joseph H. Call and Judge D.

nished The Herald in writing over
their signatures will be of interest to
every citizen of the state who desires
to see the laws of his state enforced
and crimes punished, and should be OF
most interest to the officials of the
state to whose hands are entrusted the
enforcement of it's laws.

Utah is in her infancy as yet, how
ever, and while having sufficient of the
raw product to supply the needs of all
her people, the establishment of fac
tories for turning the same into the
finished article has been retarded along
some line. In such instances where it
is necessary that the desired goods be
imported, the m. & NJ" has sought to
encourage the people TO buy the same

houses in the community, that pay
their taxes into the municipal and
state treasures, employ Utah help and
again place the money in circulation
within the state, to the ultimate bene-
fit of all, rather than to send to the

state. thereby subjecting themselves
to delay and possible dissatisfaction in
having to send their money before they
see the goods.

ton of the rivulets formed by the fall
ing rain and the melting snow. 1t is
soon cut away, and only the bare rock
remains, upon which no trees can
grow. The soil layer, the result of the
work of centuries by natural agents,
is washed into the river; and the
mountain is left dry, barren, desolate
and desert-like, unfit for animal shell
ter, robbed of it's beauty, and deprived
of its transforming power Of cooling
the atmosphere in the daytime. This
work of destruction is everywhere
going on in the mountains of Utah.
Every patriotic citizen should strive to
arrest it. Hundreds of squares miles
may already have been rendered bar
rem and desolate. The destruction of
our forest trees in the mountains is the
crime of our western civilization. Hills
formerly green, floOd-preventing
game-supplying, resort-providing, and
moisture are rapidly
changing into dry, blistering rocks
Barren cliffs replace the verdure-coV-
cred slopes. the impressive groves, the
shady woodlands. The springs dry up,
the birds cease to sing, the animals
disappear, the summer air grows hot
as the blast of a furnace; desolation,
silence, a scene of death and hades, re-
places a scene once as beautiful as it
was useful, and as glorious in our
western lands as We're the bowers of
Eden or the GASES of eastern deserts.
Work of the Avalanche.
Where the mountain is steep and es-
pecially where a hollow permits the
snow to accumulate in drifts, It's
weight may cause it to rush down the
mountain side, carrying shrubs, trees,
rocks and soil with it The presence
of trees will prevent the smaller slides
from getting a start and will thus
often prevent the larger ones from be
ginning their course of destruction.
These slides are agencies of soil trans
pOrtatiun, frequently sweeping down
the surface soil and leaving the bed
rock exposed and barren. The light
dry snow may be piled high when
swept and drifted about by the winds,

Work OF the Kahn
AS to the soil work of the rain and
snow, everyone has observed and it is
hardly necessary to refer to it. But
wherever the trees and the under
growth are removed from the noun
tains, destruction begins and is car
ried forward at an enormous rate.
First the rich loan or humus is
washed away and carried into the lake
by the river. Then the soil is at
tackled. AS the dead roots of the for
mer trees and shrubs decay, they no
longer enable the soil to resist the ac-

and may roll downward in great, loose
masses; but the kind we saw here had
evidently been of the more destructive
variety. The snow masses had be-
come watersoaked from the three
days rain, and the damp. cohering
snow, perhaps beginning with a small
rolling ball, soon gathered such force
as to sweep down the soil, gravel,
rocks and trees leaving the bare rock
exposed. The rolling SNOWFALL
changes into a sliding avalanche,
which carries with it every movable
object When the soil is lOOsened with
rain, the avalanche of ice and snow
may become a landslide, transporting
hills of gravel or whole surface areas
of soil Landslides on a small scale
had apparently occurred at various
points along the canyon. The impress
sion made upon the mind of the OBJ
server is that this vast soil factory
had lately been shipping its product
to market in enormous packages; and
that if future slides with all their dan
gers are to be guarded against, sys-
tematic forestry and tree planting
should be resorted to in Ogden can
yOn. This is true. in some degree, of
all our canyons, but is more notice
able just now where people have been
put to inconvenience by the destTuct-
I've processes tndt are everywhere re-

sides.
Natures Soil Mills.
And so we conclude that the canyon
is really a mill for crushing and grind
ing the rocks into soil. The atmos-
phere is its chemical laboratory. with
reagents mingled for doing the finer
work. Natures chief factories for the
disintegration of the rocks and the
transportation of plant food have char
acteristics that remind us of Longfel-
lows lines.
Though uAe mills of God grind slowly.
Yet they grind exceeding small;
Though with patience He stands wait
