Two great nearby enterprises, con-
corning which comparatively little has
been said in the papers, are COM
pleted and in running order. One is
the splendid half million electric
plant at Beaver City-one of the fin
est in the world-and the other the
Palisade tunnel on the Southern Pac-
ifc line. Concerning the latter the
Sparks Forum says that trains are
now running regularly through the
new Palisade tunnel, which has been
completed after nearly two years
work and which will reduce by almost
a mile the Southern Pacific lines, be-
sides cutting out bad reverse curve
which has been The fruitful cause of
difficulty not only on account of
strain on the rolling stock, but also
from accidents. Formerly the rail-
road followed the course of the Hum
boldt river near Palisade on its way
around foothill, but with the new
route they will cross the river on
new steel bridge, pass through tun-
mel, cut through the solid rock of the
hillsfor quarter of a mile, and re-
cross the river on a similar steel
structure.

Every community, one time or an

subjected to revival" spasms, the
object being to make all hands and

(think they) are. In Salt Lake they
take on all kinds of aspects-opposi-
ton to dreaming about taking a drink
on Sunday, forbidding pugilstic con-
tests and so on. If the worthless who
conduct these moral commissions
would only consider for a moment
that most men are about half mule

might make more Roadway.

A LESSON FROM HISTORY.

OF any times. The former, relying
upon great name, the prestige re-
sulting from many conquests and the
unquestionable valor and patriotism
of her soldiers, had made almost no
preparation for so mighty struggle
as that proved to be, while the enc

and perfect. This was illustrated by
an incident triAing in itself, but preg-

France got a licking that was
thought to be her finish, that and the
indemnity exacted by Germany to-
gether. 1t was at least expected by
the other powers, and designed by
the victor, that the vanquished would
never again be more than a second

great provinces with their popula-

Forty Per Cent Mineral.
Commissioner Wheaton asserts that
upon analysis he found the product of,
this company to contain 40 per cent,
of mineral Oil Of a much lower value,
than ilnSeed, anu that because of this
mixture the company is able to sell
ut lower prices than the makers Of the,
pure product. He wrote LOO letters to
dealers in the state, warning them
against this OIL and thereupon the
company asked for an Injunction
against him.
The South Dakota law provides that
no person. firm or corporation shalt
sell, expose or offer for sale any flax

under it's true name,'' and it is further
stipulated that it shall pass the test,
for purity prescribed in the United

The company admits it's product il,
only go per cent. pure, but insists that
this has been plainly stated on the la
bel. 1t is asserted, further, that their.
product is described as "linseed OIL;
