An Official Estimate.

While the Jack Mormon bunch of agtators is
crcising the law-abding citizens of the state for
what it calls assault upon Mormons without
warrant and account of their religion would be
we'll to consider what Brigham Young, their prophet,
once said about the same people. No Gentle sub
scrbes to his testimony, but it is a piece of his
tory.
He is quoted in the Deseret News, volume g. page
291 and in the Journal of Discourses, volume 4,
page " with preaching from the pulpit:
I have many time in this stand dared the
world to produce mean devils can. We
beat them at anything. We have the greatest
and smoothest liars in the world the cunningest and
most adrot thieves and any other shade of character
that you can mention. We can pick out elders in
Israel right here who can beat the world at gamb-
ling; who can handle the cards. cut and shuttle
them with the smartest rogue Gods footstool.
can produce elders here who can shave the smartest
shavers and take their money from them We can
beat the world at any game. We can beat them
because we have men here that live in the light of
the Lord; that have the holy priesthood, and hold
the keys of the kingdom of God.

FIGHT THE FLY PEST.
Some Good Rules for Houscll oldcrs
to Follow to Aid Health
Department.

Education of the people IS regard
ed by cntomologists as the surest way
to eradicate the houseny, the great
pest of the summer months. The fly
is regarded as one Of the greatest
carriers of disease germs, and the
best way of combating the danger lies
in educating the great mass of the
people as to the peril of having flies
about the house. ard especially in
the parts Of the house where food is
prepared or kept.
City health departments over the
entire country are beginning their
campaigns. Ordinances have been
passed i'll the large cities of the east
placing a severe penalty on owners
of unsanitaly places and particularly
stables, the greatest breeding places
for flies. The campaign of educating
the people to a sense OF the unlimited
opportunities possessed by the in
sect in the contamination Of food is
the most important
There are two ways of protecting
residents from the dangers of the
fly. The city heal h department can
accomplish the most good by keeping
the streets and alleys clean. and by
enforcing the sanitary laws, especial
ly in the stables To make the cam
paign successful it is absolutely nee
essary that the housewife cooperate
with the health authorities by pro-
tecting all food, by keeping the flies
out of the home and by killing all
flies that gain access to the rooms.
Among the things to be remem-
bered for protection against the fly
menace are. First. screen the home,
and keep all food protected from
flies: second. quickly cover up food
after meal and burn or bury the
refuse; third, keep damp cloths near
meat dishes milk jugs and other
food receptacles: fourth. burn pyre-
thrum powder in the house, which
will kill most of the flies, and those
ii does no. Kill Will be stunned, when
they may be swept up and burned;
fifth. keep the streets and yards
clean: sixth keep stable manure
breeding places for flies. in a vault
or pit or screened Enclosure and
sprinkle its surface with chloride of
lime; and last. remember that the
exposure of any kind of refuse near
a dwelling furnishes a breeding
place for flies. and if food is exposed
remember that nies will deposit
germs upon it,

OLYMPIA, May 12.-That money
deposited in bank either subject TO
check or on a certificate of deposit
ceases to be tangible personal prop
erty," but constitutes credit and that
deductions may be made therefrom
of an indebtedness owing in good
faith, is the ruling given Prosecuting
Attorney II. G. Rowland of Pierce
county by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral l. b. Knickerbocker today. The
decision was in answer to an inquiry
inspired by the recent ruling of the
attorney generals office advising the
tax commission to ignore the Gum
exemption statute. Mr.. Knicker-
booker says in part:
When n sum of money is depos-
tied in a certain bank the Utilities
of that bank are increased to the
amount of the sum SO deposited. A
contractual relation is instantly es-
tablished between the depositor and
the bank. not the ordinary contract
ual relation of bailor and bailee. but
of debtor and creditor. The deposit
tor ceases TO be the owner of the par
ticular moneys deposited with the
bank. but acquires credit at the
bank to the amount of the sum de-
posted.
