TO BE ELECTED
\ Professor in English I

Seven new instructors were elected to
the faculty of the Agricultural college at
Logan, the designations OF two members
of the present faculty were accepted and
the policy of the college for the coming
year was decided upon and announced.
at the first meeting of the board Of trus-
tees Of the college last evening.
Every member of the board was pres
ent. President Lorenzo NJ Stohl of Brig
ham City presided. Those in attendance
were: Thomas Smart, John .. Adams,
Logan; DR.. A. S. Condor. Ogden; Susan
Y. Gates, Mrs. A. W. McCune, Salt Lake
and J. w. n. Whitecotton, Provo. Pres
ident J. A. Widtsoe, president of the col
lege, and Professor Z. d. Ball of the
experiment station were present at the
meeting of the trustees.
The important feature of the meeting
was the issuance by the trustees of the
statement of the policy to obtain in the
future. The trustees declared that mas
much as President Widtsoe and the board
have been criticised since the appointment
of the latter. as having no policy under
which the college is to be operated. a
statement of the situation at this time
was necessary. In this statement the
trustees strenuously deny the allegation
that church influence predom1nates in the
control and operation OF the college, and
that politics is introduced among the stu
dents of the institution in any manner.
The trustees decided that the engineer
+. ing course of the college is to be kept
up until the present classes have gradu-
ated and. upon dropping the course. as
ordered by the last legislature. course
in irrigation and drainage shall be insti-
tuted in the college. In addition to this,
the trustees have provided for the in
stallaticn of course in veterinary sci
ence The remainder of the statement
issued by the board deals at length with
the policy of the college in its several
branches OF work and the alterations to
be made in each.

Manhasset, l.. I.-Considerable in

announcement of the finding of uneX-
pected wealth in the Tripler mansion
on Broadway, in this village. A trunk
that has been passed over by every
one coming into the house was finally
opened and found to contain valua-
bles and jewelry to the amount of
over $4,000,
The mansion belonged to the late
Charles Tripler, who gained fame in
connection with liquid air expert
ments. Several years ago he came
here, when his health failed him, and
purchased the Haak place on Broad,
way. He lived there until last fall
when he died. After his death it was
found that he had left everything to
his wife. She began to make arrange
ments to settle up the estate when she
was taken i'll and soon afterward died

firms are daily reaching out for new
sections of trade. What will be the
result along this line? With the
growth of the catalogue house comes
the death of the rural mercantile
trade. Let them once destroy the
country merchant and the markets
of the world will be in the hands of
few wealthy capitalists. Their branch
houses will appear in all the country
towns and the farmer will no longer
be Independent His friend, the coun-
try dealer. who through competition
was forced to pay the value of the
butter, eggs, etc, will be a thing OF
the past, and in his place will appear
the fat, gloatlng face of the capitalist.
In whose benumbed conscience there
is no thought of pity, whose breast
contains instead OF heart a great
lump of cold stony gold, whose one
ambition is to build up a greater for
tune than the world has ever seen,
and who cares naught for the tears or
trials, woes or weeping of his victims
so long as he can squeeze little more
of the coveted glittering treasure from
him.
Again, the dollar spent with the

over again. The merchant pays II to
the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till.

identifying and building up his own

should. If place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money in, 1t is good enough for him to
spend his money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses, streets,

No. 2 the water, considerably con-

BY the time the briny water reaches

water. The sun Of the summer months
has evaporated thousands Of tons OF

over the surface have also helped to
eliminate the water.
In the center of the vast field there,

ering $4,000 square feet. These are
the crystallizing watts. Into these the
heavily charged salt water is admit

to one foot deep with salt. BY this
time there Is but little water in the
watts, and the salt is fast crystallizing.

ments in the country places? Then
why should the farmer patronize
them? By actual test it has been
found that the same goods can be pro-
cured as cheaply, if not at more rea-
sonable prices, at home. Trade with
your neighbor, whose interests are
your interests, whose hand Is always
ready to assist you in time of trouble.
Patronize those who patronize you.
Use the flashy catalogue of the mail
order house to help kindle the kitchen
fire, and keep your money at home
where 1t will benefit you and your
neighbors over and over again. The
farmers dollar, earned by honest toll
should not be added to the blood
money of these great mail order cor
porations. The farmer must join the
local merchant and the country editor
in battling this great peril that is
creeping, creeping onward with great
rapidity, and unless these forces are
combined and their efforts prove in
creasing the day Is not far distant
when the chance will be gone forever
the power will be too great to con-

neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the

In the eastern cities on a small scale,
famed by the breeze of iudicious ad-
vertising, has spread until 1t now COW
ers the length and breadth of our land
and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note of
warning has been sounded, the light
is visible in the sky, and yet, appar-
emily oblivious to it all, the ones
whose safety is being endangered,
heed not the alarm nor the signal of
disaster. The country merchant and
the farmer whose combined efforts
can stem the tide of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
unconscious of the approaching devas-
tation. that, like great sea OF con-
suming fame, is threatening to engulf
them.
The country merchant and the farm

rural districts, are the victims this
gigantic peril is reaching out for to

grasp becomes firmer, its power
greater. Only few short years ago

only three elements which are consid-
cred absolutely free to man-water,

by the ingenuity of two young men,
Orion and Linley Dunn, brothers,
these three elements have been con
jured into obedience to their purpose,
and the result is this fortune in pure
salt lying at their command.
AS a result the Dunn boys have be-
come known as the salt kings" Their
supply, the Pacific ocean, will never
diminish; their means of manufacture,
the sun and the air, are likewise I'M
limited, and the limit placed upon the

DEER FORCED TO EMleRATE.
Driven by Wolves to Cross from
Michigan to Canada.

Saul Ste. Marie, Mich.-The fact
that a big roundup of wolves is being
planned for next month in the district
OF Algoma has served to recall that 1t
was not so many years ago that
neither animals of that species nor
the common red deer were to be found
in that portion of Ontario province. j.
4. Ross, Canadian 500 taXidermist,
says It was only six or seven years
ago that wolves were noticed in AL
gonna In any considerable number.
Possibly deer had not been seen in
Algoma prior to 1895. The latter
came from northern Michigan, in Mr..
Ross opinion, and were followed by
the wolves, which have become thick
in the Agawa and Montreal valleys
and in the country beyond those
rivers.
Deer were vers plentiful the past
season." said Mr.. Ross. "They swan
across from Michigan in large mum
bers, presumably driven out by the
wolves. The deer are certainly not
breeding here as fast as they are in
creasing. They swim across the st
Mary's river via st. Joe island, Drum
mond island and other islands"

where our laws are made, and unless
check is administered the passage
Of the parcels post bill will mark one
of its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at a few Of the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home dealer. In the
first place their interests are cen
tered in each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means prosper
Gus year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity of the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds, therefore, In the
country dealer, staunch and loyal
friend and defender of his rights
They pay taxes together, live side by
side, their children play and go to
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes, to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest In the political ques-
lions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue of pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
does he get value received? Not
often. The first order he may, but
that is only bait The business Is
not founded on principles, it is not
builded on honorable methods, its
mighty walls are erected on graft.
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
those of a much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the
order or have II ready when the
goods arrive with the big G. o. D.
mark on the package. Your crop fail
