Miss Nora Jones.

In writing of the business heads of
the town, we cannot omit our sue
cessful business women. In Miss
Jones we have an example of ex-
ceptionally fine business qualifica-
lions.
She served as stenographer for Ut
ley & Jones, and later for T. r. Jones
& Co and for the American Falls
Canal & Power Company. She is now
acting secretary for this big firm,
A. H. Thompson of Logan, Utah, be-
ing the nominal secretary She is
also bookkeeper for the company, and
besides knowing great deal about
their business from the Office point
of view, she knows the country
through which the canal lies, and can
driveout and locate dozens of tracts
of land on the great plains, where
half of the men folks would be kept
guessing to find the way out and
back.
During her long experience in han
ding the time checks of the COM
pany, she has won the respect and
confidence of hundreds of working
men who have learned that they are
always free to ask any reasonable
favors at the Office. and that no
amount of scheming ever induces her
to advance money, goods or orders on
an account that Is drawn up to the
limit laid down by the rules.

Boyle Bros. q Company.

This firm is located on Bridge
street, and deals in hardware, stoves,
ranges, fencing materials, and plumb
ing supplies. They operate tin shop
and do general repairing business
in Connection with the store and the
plumbing business.
Perhaps the most notable thing
they did the past year besides selling
a tremendous amount of goods, was
to give an exhibition of how to get re-
sulst with Majestic Range without
using much fuel. They had cooks
and walters serving people for one
week in November, with biscuits and
coffee free, and an expert stove man
showed how to properly use stove.
He showed them that when good
fire has once been built, that it Is a
damage to the stove and waste of
fuel to leave the draft open and let
it go up the fue. The right way to
do is to shut off the lower draft or
drafts and open an upper one or let
the air In through hole in the stove
pipe entirely above the firebox, and
hold the heat in the firebox, letting
it radiate slowly until exhausted or
until it needs replenishing. 1t is
this way the fuel bill is cut in two
several times, steady heat is obtain
ed, and the stove or range is not
burned out or warped.
If Boyle Bros. had done nothing
else during the year than impress
this simple principle upon the people
of the community, they would have
done a,good and valuable thing for
the trade, but they did more. They
sold good goods that always bear the
guarantee of the manufacturer and
the retailer as we'll, and the Majestic
ranges scattered about. in the homes
of the rich and the poor alike, attest
the usefulness of their business and
the satisfaction of the purchasers.
The proprietors OF, the business are
Neil F. Boyle and G. e. Boyle. Volley
Van Bramer is one of their statesmen
who Is always on duty, and A. e.
Byers is bookkeeper. Jos. Collins is
the linner. and is assisted by Lewis
West and Robert Eaton.

Teachers and Trustees Meeting.

Fremont County has had a meet
ing of teachers and trustees that was
a great day for all of them and for
school work in general. According to
press reports, 1t captured the interest
of the whole population and did more
good than anything else that has hap
pened.
That is what we expect of our
school fair on the 22nd of February.

Road Overseers' Convention.

Fremont County road overseers
have just held convention, and the
subject of roads, bridges, bitches
curves, crowns and the like received
attention in so much detail that the
county already feels great satisfac-
ton with the job and rises to pull
down it's vest.
We don't know who started the
move, but we want to call on all the
heroes in this county to push the
good work along. February is a
good time to meet.

Discussions at Porterville.

Nels Christensen held series of
meetings at Porterville in December,
and now an Adventist and Mormon
are taking turns in a discussion Of
religious matters. Each one has an
evening, and the other fellows the
next evening.
The people of the community are
taking quite an interest, but 1t is
probably prompted by curiosity more
than by religious fervor.

Our Bio Export Trade.

Analysis of the returns OF foreign
trade of the United States during the
last fiscal year reveals some interest
ing features. Among other things
it is seen that there was large
increase in exports Of manufactured
American goods, a most desirable
tendency, which has been pronounced
for years. Thus sales abroad Of ag
rcultural implements were $2i,3OO,-
900, against $l6.0O0.O00 in 1900; car
riages, cars and other vehicles. $22,-
100000, against $9,9OO.000; chemicals.
drugs. dyes and medicines, $2O,SO0,OOO,
against s12,00O,00O; manufacture of
iron and steel, $lS4,00,0O1 against
S122OOO,00O; leather and manufac-
lures of, $4070O,0CO, against $780,
000 and so on The average total
export of manufactures ready for con
sumption was, for tiVe-year term,
9oLJ,UUu,UUU lUi LnS pSllou NHhSN WIN
1900 and $4SO,OOO,00O for that ended
with 1907, and in 1908 was $iSS,5OO,-
900. These figures tell their own
story of increase in nearly every line,
the only item in which there was
little if any gain being the export Of
cotton goods AS this is the great
cotton-producing country Of the world,
our failure to get better foothold In
the cotton-goods markets is discom-
fitting. The dispatches abiding to
this showing point out that the sales
abroad are largely the result OF
foreign demand that finds here the
most convenient source of supply, and
that they do not represent aggressive
commercial activity on the part or
American producers. But, declares
the Troy On. " Times, there is
growing appreciation of the desirable
ity of foreign markets, especially to
maintain industrial equilibrium at
home, and presently, no doubt, there
will be an arousing to more agrees
siveness.

TIE old proverb has 1t that nothing
succeeds like success. In view Of what
is happening to Count Zeppelin per
haps it may become necessary to re-
model the saying so as to make II
read that nothing succeeds like fall
ure. The destruction of the counts
flying machine proved the very best
sort of advertisement, and has re-
suited in the offer Of great sums OF
money to enable him to continue his
experiments, while hosts Of sympa
thetic persons have overwhelmed
him with gifts of all kinds, including
wines, cigars, sweetmeats, groceries
and even neckties and other articles
of personal use or adornment. In
fact, there is room for some bellel
that the thing is being overdone. Inc
attention lavished on the count mas
aroused the jealousy Of rivals, and
some Of them are rather pointedly re
minding the German public that II
the matter of aeronautics there are
others.

WHERE AUBURN LOCKS ABOUND.
Found in Great Numbers in North.
eastern Part of Scotland.

Red hair is found in distinct excess
north of the Grampians, and especially
in the northeast of Scotland A sci.
enlist who has made the question OF
augmentation a special study, and has
just been helped to conclude a. color
survey of the school children-over
5O,OOO-of Scotland, announced this
as one of his results.
In most European countries, he said,
there is distinct predominance of
one type over the others. In north
Germany and Sweden it is the blonde
type; in Italy the brunette. No such
predominance is found in Scotland.
Dark hair and fair are present in
equal proportions. The dominant col.
or among Scottish children is brown,
and it has to be shown how far brown
is really blend of fair and dark.
The proportion of red hair through
out the country is little over 5 per
cent-high compared with the con-
tinent. One cannot overlook the ref.
erence of Tacitus to the red haired
CaledOnians. Some curious facts
brought to light suggest that red hair
is not entirely or strictly racial
trait. 1t may have some peculiar
physiological If not pathological con
nection.

American Rice Mill at Crowley
Burned.

Crowley. La-Fire early tonight
partially destroyed the American Rice
Milling Company, one of the largest
mills in the city, entailing loss of
$4,000. The fire had its origin in the
rough warehouse and spread SO rap
idly that within less than thirty min
utes the entire plant was a mass of
flames, the men at work barely escap-
ing by jumping from the second
Story. The fire was discovered by
the night Waterman at $50, when a
general alarm was sent in, and
promptly responded to by the fire de,
partment, but the fire had gained such
Roadway that all efforts to save the
mill from burning were futile.
The American mill was erected in
1899, and has been operated regu
larly ever since, having been com
pletely overhauled last year. The
mill was valued at about $4,000. and
contained about 100000 worth o:
rough and cleaned rice, which was
also lost.

TEXAS POULTRY ASSOCIATION.
MEETING WILL BE HELD IN
HOUSTON NOV. 9 TO II.
Breeders Throughout the State Will
Send Their Pens Here and Com
pete for Prizes.

Houston, Tex.-Arrangements are
being made for the annual exhibition
by the Texas Poultry and Pigeon asso-
citation which will be held in Houston
during the dates intervening between
November 9 and IA, and Secretary
Robert Black, who has the affair in
charge, has a large number of letters
from breeders throughout the State
advising him they will send their pens
here for the exhibit, and will compete
for the prizes.
In fixing the date for the show, No
vember has been selected, for the rea.
son that shows in the latter part of De-
cember interfere with the mating sea-
son on account of having to fatten
the chickens several weeks prior to
exhibition in order to bring them up
to their standard weight. To keep the
birds in the show say for six days
away from the cock bird, knocks the
breeder out of twelve or fifteen days
before he can get fertile eggs. Ar
fragments ar being made to accommO-
date all the exhibitors who will come.
For the chickens the association has
engaged Fl. B. Savage of Bolton, a
chicken fancier, a poultry journal
publisher and member of the Texas
legislature Mr.. Savage has a fine
reputation among the bird fanciers in
Texas and the fact that he is engaged
FOR this show is strong endorsement
for it.
Charles F. Taylor has been engaged
to Judge the pigeons, and it will be
the first time where an exclusive pig
con judge will serve. Mr.. Taylor has
written from his home in Detroit that
he will come and expresses a desire
to visit other parts of Texas while he
is in the State.

There are two entrances to Ports

Ellen had drifted seward during the

course was to round the island and
