THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair of 1907 is approaching.
curried until their coats shine with a
satiny gloss, the cattle are being pre-
pared to look their prettiest. The va
rious products of the state, the choic-
est of their kinds, are being selected
for exhibition, and when the gates are
opened we are promised the greatst
fair the state has ever seen will be
ready for all corners. There are 70 be
this year some new features, many of
them, and the features that have been
improved upon wherever improvement
is possible.
The Herald believes strongly in the
state fair as an institution. Last year.
because of lack of funds, no fair was
given. The loss was distinctly felt.
But it viii be more than made up this
year. And the attendance promises to
break all records, for the people are
fair hungry. They will be glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity to meet
most forgotten acquaintance, to es-
tablish new friendships. They will be
glad, too, to see the progress the state
has made during the last two years in
agriculture, in manufactures, in min
ing, in stockraising, in all the varied
lines of industry.
The fair is a splendid thing for the
way in which it educates the people Of
Utah to the resources and the POSSIBLE
tiles of their state. 1t is a splendid
thing for the friendly rivalry it stimu-
Iates between those engaged in the
same character of work, a rivalry that
cannot fail to be beneficial to all con-
cerned, because it urges the manufac-
turer, the farmer, the stockraiser, the
horticulturist to put forth their best
efforts to make better the very best
they have done.
The directors of the state fair, Presi-
dent Mcdonald and the entire board,
are entitled 10 and should receive the
gentlemen, all of them men Of large
private interests, give freely OF their
time and their ability, and they receive
no recompense of any character what
ever. At this time they are away from
their business for hours and days on
end, looking after the grounds and
buildings, squirting intending exhibit
ors, arranging for amusements of va
riOus kinds.
The general public has little idea of
the exacting character of their work.
They do it because they are devoted
to the advancement of their state be-
cause they believe in Utah and be-
cause they want it to take its proper
rank among the foremost states Of the
Union. The Herald heartily commends
them for their efforts and assures them
of its heartiest good wishes.

Great Britain has fallen from the high
position which 1t attained for one year,
when it was able to report that not a
single passenger had been killed in train
accidents; but its record in this respect
is still so vastly superior to that of the
United States that to make a compari-
son at all seems like straining a point

Away, away, I'd like to glide and find a
sheltered nook
Where I might rest myself beside a gent

I'd like a place where I might shun ali

And where my grist of alleged fun would
daily grind itself.
I'd like a place where pixies play and
fairies sound their cries,

And day and night and all the time
You hear the tinkle go;
And some one to some other one

Our meals are late, / guess.
We stand around and wait at morn,
We stand and wait at noon,

|" WE" NOT "L"

There is a sermon in this little text for all Wrangellites. We are not in the preaching line ourselves, but we take the liberty of suggest ing that due consideration be given this slogan in all discussions of commercial affairs here.
 It will have the effect of drawing the scattered forces of the town in. to harmonious action and will con. tribute to an infinitely better un. derstanding of the bearings of our near future. To eliminate the "I'' from the treatment of affairs here, will mean the subsistence of all the challenging, mocking and detri. mental spirit that has prevailed in days gone by, and give impetus to the work we have undertaken for Wrangell.
 We must broaden away from the individual and keep the larger ben efts in sight, giving preference to the communal largeness rather than to the narrow gifts that shall beiall us as units. There will be a big relative gain in it for the indi- vidual. No man will suffer because of the expansion of the town and district; and in the generous pol. icy of building for all, we shall con- serve the richer profits for the integral, and feel better for it.

RoOSEVELT-HARRIMAS

The issue of a deliberate liz, as between President Roosevelt and g. H, Hartman, has been forced hpoa the ceuntty by e disgruntled stenagrapher fired by the latter From his offices in New York and tostered by MT. Hartman for pur- poses of his own; presumably by way of retaliation for the presi. dent's vigorous policies against the railroads and in favor of the peo. ple of the country,
 The president has infinitely the best of the situation and his dis claimer will go, just as it is made, with ninety-nine out of every hun ,dred of the people. The other one hundredth are welcome to their Hartman preferences, and may make the most of them. The coun- try knows both men to the core; and does not need word of testi- ,.nony in the case, MT. Harriman's being flatly discredited, and Mir. Roosevelt's being absolutely need

less. This may be high ground to take, but it is our attitude and be- lief, and we have the identical jus. tification for it the nation has, and count further testimony was non- essential.
 The radical differences between the principle to this controversy, alone, are quite sufficient to war rant the unquestioned belief in the presidents freedom from all such entangl em ents; and if more is needed, the well known hatred of Hartman for Roosevelt and his policies offers ample predicate for the nasty charge be has laid upon him. MT. Hartman will find out few things in the popular mind if he sticks to his present text.

TAXES, SIDEWALKS, ETC.

In looking over the report of the town clerk for the past year, we find that during that period there were warrants drawn on the treas. ury to the amount of s7OO.62 for lumber and labor on streets, to say nothing of the amount expended for nails. Of this amount, Stikine Avenue comes in for the magnif- cent sum of s2OO. About one third of one per cent of the money expended for street repairs was used on a portion of the town which contributes infinitely more than that percentage of the annual realty taxes of the town.
 Admitting the fact that nearly $500 of the amount was contributed by outsiders for the relief of fire sufferers, the amount paid out of the general fund for street repaiis in other parts of town leaves Stik. inc Avenue at the little end of the horn" in proportion to the amount of taxes paid.
 The people of the section of town served by Stikine Avenue pay the taxes assessed without a fnufmur (though they are justly entitled to a big how'll and are willing to go a little stronger on their taxes, if the increase would be used in building level walk from the east end of Stikihe Avenue to the west end of Front Street. These people are not only willing to pay more taxes, but will contribute literally in dollars and work for the purpose.
 From a standpoint of justice, the first considerable amount spent on street improvement should be used Tor this purpose. The amount of town money which could be set aside for this purpose, augmented by the amount of money and labor which would be subscribed by the D ople living along Stikine Avenue and business men owning property along the avenue, would construct a walk which would stand for many years, give ~est-end people an equal chance at the fire apparatus and enhance the value of weat.end property, to say nothing of the matter of convenience.

The animation given by the new council to the discussion of the matter of reforms regarding sani- tary conditions here brings us to believe that the new town fathers are out for business. If the en- forcement of sanitary laws and ordinances is entered into with the same zeal as was displayed by the discussion, Wrangell's sanitary con- dition will be perfection under the new regime.

OPPORTUNITIES

Thousands of acres of fine tillable land lie waiting for the homesteader. Mining development is only in its infancy, and there are un- mistakcable evidences of the existence of large bod les of minerals in this im- mediate locality.
 Great forests of spruce, hemlock, red and yellow cedar abound on all the adjacent islands and main land, offering lucrative in- yestment for the lumber man, while there are many fine streams from which to take water power. A good furniture factory will pay.
 The fisheries of Alaska need no introduction, as the quantity and quality of their products already attract attention from the marts of the world.
 Upwards of a hundred trappers make this p,ace their winter headquarters. and many thousands of dollars worth of furs are shipped annually.
 Deer, bear, duck, geese, etc, as,oand in such num- bers as to make this section a veritable paradise for sportsmen, while caribou, moose, sheep and goats at- tract hunters from various parts of the globe to tire Cassiar hunting grounds up the Stikine River, on which the Hudson's Bay Co. operates an elegant fleet of steamers.

HATS OFT TO GENIUS

The world gladly takes it's hat of to the genius; and the universal chapeau is now doffed to J. P. Karns, a Colorado mining engineer who has just perfected tunneling machine that digs through moun- tain side, on any bore from eight to eighteen feet, at the rate of five fact per hour through granite, and relatively faster through soft ma- terial. The face of the 110 ton machine is armed with 4,000 chisel points, ranged in 16O sets, and is driven against the wall undor ope ration at the rate of 100 blows per minute, each blow delivered with a force of 63,OOO pounds, with an eight-inch stroke.
 This is one of the revolutionary devices that will range alongside the telephone, the photograph, the automobile and the few other great essentials of the present date and it already commands a market far in advance of it's manufacture, as 1t should. It will revolutionize mining, railroading and irrigation all otef the land and tohserve the labor of thousands of thousands of men. The world will hesr great things from it shortly.

The doctor on his arrival repeated
Mrs. Maloney's verdict in more COM

Bennington might put David to bed.
At least he would catch no more cold
that way.
So, propped up by pillows with the
sunlight beaming upon him, young
David passed the day. His nurse sat

When, week later, she again went
to the Bennington's, Dennys cold was
a thing Of the past. Mrs. Maloney

the Lover and
THE HUSBAND
BY WInIFRED GRAHAM.

Behold a man and a woman A

every side, emblematical of their two
lives.
Lovers oh, yes-or why was her
cheek stained red as the roses sleep
ing within reach of her fingers. which
were locked in the mans palm? He
tried TO speak, but his voice was
choked by emotion. This was their
good-by.
The woman raised her eyes, her lips
and the anguish of parting was for
gotten in the ecstasy of a long en-
brace.
81 shall remember" she whispered;
always! You and | have been more
than all the world to each other-you
and H."
These three words were repeated in
lingering accents that faltered and
ended in a sigh.
stay" he answered, passionately.
Life is only an hour; take all Chat
II can give while love is in your soul.
Tomorrow the summer may be over,
the flowers will shrivel up and we
shall be old"
And age spells DEATH" murmured
the woman, with a shudder
The man gazed rapturously at the
beauty of her face. How pure it
looked in the pale light! What a
mask, what a mockery!
Yet, good or evil, he loved her, and
the fragrance of the summer night
was creeping into his very being;
everything spoke of hitherto I'M
dreamed possibilities.
why must you go?" he asked,
fiercely. you have no tie in New
York Your home? Bah! What is
woman's home before she marries?
Stay and be my wife"
The woman withdrew her fingers
and passed them over her brow.
The grass was wet with dew, and
there were drops of agony upon her
forehead
One word broke hoarsely from her
lips: "No!"
IF you love me, why in the name
Of"
But she clasped her hands, entreat-
ing silence.
ASK no explanations. Would that
had never come here to lose my soul
in yours. | return tomorrow; it is
inevitable-I have two things to seek
Heaven only knows if l shall find
them"
WHAT" he questioned
Rest and repentance"
AS she spoke she broke away
rushed wildly on till the shadows hid
her white-gowned figure and she was
lost in mystery.
The following day she departed and
the man saw her no more.
He only treasured a few parched
rose leaves and her address in New
York city.
But the fire of love burned still in
his soul, and at last he wrote to the
woman who had said NO"
81 must follow ysu"-he penned the
! lines feverishly-"to your home, dear
est, and plead again for the love you
once gave and afterward denied Re-
member your own words: We have
been all the world to each other-you
and l. Telegraph me the single sylla-
BILE, Come, and as fast as the cars
will bring me | will come to kneel at

Two men stood face to face. A
lover and a husband.
One with hope in his heart, the 9th
er maddened by his wrongs.
You have come for my wife" he
said slowly. She is not here, but
you shall go to her"
The lover staggered back and fell
heavily with groan to the earth.
Only a cloud of smoke rose between
his body and the woman's husband
No horror crept through the murder
ers veins.
They are together now" he said,
lin the land of falsehood and treach-
cry. Let them love there if they can"
Two days later the police received a
detailed account of the crime, writ
ten by the slayer's hand, telling them
where to find the murdered man.
you need not seek for me-" he
wrote, in conclusion. 81 have gone
where no one will discover me. JUS
tice has been done, and that is
enough"
Here the writing ceased abruptly,
and the two men the woman had de
ceived were buried in oblivion.

stood the shock of childish illnesses.
When one has entertained everything
from measles to typhoid in ones own
family it takes more than a cough and
the sniffies to arouse ones alarm.
Mrs. Msloney, as she prepared to
leave for her days work in the laun-
dry at the home of the Benningtons
on the boulevard, took time to bestow
a thoughtful look on her youngest,
aged three. whose voice was reduced
to a growl, whose eyes ran constant
tears and who was engaged in cough
ing at the command of the next old
est, who liked to hear it.
Mary" said Mrs. Maloney to the
young person, aged II, who was left
in charge of her younger brothers and
sisters, "Denny's got a cold. You'd
best put an onion poultice on him"
SO saying, the good woman departed.
Over at the Benningtan's she found
all in confusion. A housemaid sum-
moned her into the presence of Mrs
Bennington herself, who was looking
becomingly distracted in the perfec-
ton of pink house gowns.
"Oh, Mrs. Maloney!' she cried. you
can tell me what to do before the doc
tor gets here. You have children and
know all about them! It's David He
he's dreadfully sick!"

linz" asked Mrs. Maloney as she
turned to David Bennington, Jr. He

A woman was lying dead with
roses white and yellow in her hands.
She was beautiful in death as in life.
She had found what she sought
rest and repentance
Beside her still image sat her hus-
band, his head bent and one hand
stretched across his face, hiding the
awful expression thereon. But the
veins on that sinewy hand seemed
bursting through the flesh, while his
parted lips were dry and bloodless.
Between his trembling fingers he
held a letter, addressed to his dead
wife in her maiden name. He had
only just opened it.
The mornings mail made the cold
form of marble beauty horrible in his
eyes. Vengeance was turning his soul
TO gall, mingled with the intense jeal-
ousy of the bereaved.
"He shall follow her to her home, ="
he muttered, crumpling her lovers let
ter with suppressed passion.
Then he wrote the telegram:
Come"
