(From Goodwin's weekly)

Did you hear a whistle just now,
and do you hear a bell ringing ?
That was the whistle on the great
new locomotive Progress, and II is
her bell that is ringing.
They mean that a new time table
has been adopted and II you do not
hurry you will not get aboard.
II is a most magnificent train that
the new locomotive is hauling.
It has last years increased values
on board and is on the way to make a
display of them to the world.
What are they Why. you must be
a stranger. A gold increase over 1904
of 100000; a silver increase of
100000; a copper increase of 49,
100000: a mercury increase of $14,-
900. This in the metal line But
there is plenty more, in sugar, in wool,
in livestock, and $1,000 900 in the in
creased value OF real estate in Salt
Lake City.
There is another difference in this
last item. A year ago the values
we're latent-people were dreaming
of an unearned increment-now the
values are active and the man who
puts off a purchase until tomorrow
will pay more than he would have to
pay to-day.
That is. the boom is on. That is
what this train with the Locomotive
Progress attached TO IL means.
And II you do not get aboard your
children, ten years hence, will be
telling of the mistake you made.
Because you must know that the ad-
vance in the mines has only just be
gun and, for II all, Salt Lake is the
clearing house.
When on the morning OF Austerlitz
the sun rose In glory over the Carpa-
THAN Mountains, Napoleon, who was
riding with his stan, stretched out
his sovereign hand and said: Behold
the sun of Austerlitz," and the awed
stan DOTTED their chappeaus.
Il is like that here. When now, at
dawn, the rising sun turns 10 purple
and gold, the SHOWS on the lordly Wa
satch range, that is the sun OF Salt
Lake. presaging triumps greater than
we're achieved at Austerlitz( for II has
come to the knowledge OF men that all
this great region, Utah, with her cop
per and gold and silver and lead aud
wool and sugar, turns to this city as
a point of adjustment.
More. half Nevada feels the same
way, and Is bringing hither her gold
and her silver.
The railroads that center here can
not do the work assigned them. and
more are coming.
The new shelters are being hurried
to completion 10 meet the increasing
demand for reduction works.
AS men In the mines grow rich they
are saying I'VE must find n place
with great schools, great churches,
theatres, stores. libraries, a good eli
mate and joyous surroundings for the
children"
Instinctively they turn toward Salt
Lake, for Salt Lake has all they want
and still is so near that they can run
in, make a visit, and return, before
they are missed.

ENDORSES ROOSEVELT

Brigadier General George l.. Helm,
commanding the second brigade. Mis-
sissippi division United Confederate
Veterans, one of the wealthieSt plant
ers of the delta, and life long demo-
crate, has created much surprise in
political circles, and among COnfed-
crate veterans, by an open letter in
which he strongly advocates the cleo
tion of President Roosevelt
In a long discussion of the subject,
General Helm makes a dramatic ap-
peal to the voters of the states to send
this message to the voters of the
north.
I'VE assure YOU from the bottom of
our hearts of our great confidence in
the ability, honesty. and integrity of
Theodore Roosevelt and will help you
elect him in 1908. His first occupancy
of the presidential chair was by acci-
dent deplored by none more than him
self, and he pledged himeself for the
balance of the term to carry out the
Mckinley policies, and he did. Who
can say that the man who has acquired
worldwide fame in the paths Of peace
cannot be trusted longer in his own
household, and that he should not be
given two terms within which to work
out his own policies"

SET FIRE TO BRIDGE

Arthur Clamsrud and Oscar Larson
two youths Of the city, came very near
getting themselves into serious trouble
one day last week. They had been
fishing at the river and on the way
home stopped at the bridge over a
small creek near II. *. Ilalverson S
place. Soon after some children from
the schoolhouse nearby noticed that
the bridge was on fire and notified
Mr. HalverSon. After eXtinguishing
the fire Mr.. Halverson rounded up the
two kids and brought them to the city
and turned them over to Sheriff Miles.
The next morning the sheriff brought
them before Justice Matson who gave
them good repremand and dismissed
them. There was no positive proof that
they set fire to the bridge, but they
were probably the guilty parties. If
these two boys had been in school
where they properly belong, they
would not find so many opportunities
for getting into mischief and the city
authorities should see that they as we'll
as a number of others, attend school
regularly.

Colonel Parker served with distinc-

times been chosen to positions of re.

friends this morning, I'VE want you
to feel free to cali upon us for. If

consistently render for Watertown, or

Colonel Parker endorsed what Mr..
Hall said in regard to these matters.

This afternoon the gentlemen are
taking trip to the military camp

pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the cordiality shown by the peo-
pie of this city whom they have met
during the present rather hasty visit.

BROOklNGS TO HAVE CREAMERY

j. A. Nelson of Milbank was in the
city last week and after looking over
the ground and interviewing the bust
ness men he made arrangements to
operate creamery in the Korstad
building and hopes to be ready for
business in about four weeks. He eX-
poets to put in all new and uptodate
machinery and will at present only
take cream as he has no room or con
venience for separating the cream
from the milk and as most of the farm
ers have separators this added eX-
penditure will not be necessary until
his business grows.
In the spring if his business war
rants him in doing so he expects to
build a structure in every way adapt
ed to the business and start out to
gather in all the cream within ra.
dious of many miles.
Mr.. Nelson has ---. charge of .-.e
Milbank creamery, which nas - en-
viable reputation of making the best
butter produced in South Dakota and
appears to be gentleman who under
stands his business thoroughly.
This is an enterprise BrOOkings has
needed for some time and we believe
our people who buy Du,,er will aid the
project as will the farmers in this sec
tion where there are no creameries.

making some wonderful improvements
in the place. A large round house,

The town has a natural drainage
and one of the most fertile countries
surrounding it in the state. The eli
mate is inyigorating, never to warm
