BURNS AS A REVENUE OFFICER.

BURNS AS A REVENUE OFFICER
We owe to Mr. Lockhart well-substantiated
account of this adventure of Burns as a revenue
officer: On the 9th of February 1892, sts-
picious-looking brig was discovered in the Solway
Firth, engaged, as it turned out, in a contraband
traffic then carried on extensively on the coasts
of Galloway and Ayrshire. When the ship got
into shallow water she showed stout front, and
Robert Burns, who was on guard on the spot
stood waiting till body of dragons should arrive
from Dumfries sufficient to enable him to proceed
to active measures against the armed smugglers
When the dragons arrived Burns, without delay,
eager in action he was in word, put himself
at their head waded sword in hand to the brig,
and the first man to board her. The crew
soon found that they had man of nerve and
purpose to deal with, and, though superior IN
numbers to the assailing force, were soon Obliged
to yield. The vessel condemned, and with
all her arms and ammunition sold next day at
Dumfries.

.FAVORS EXHIBIT
At ALBUQUERQUE
President Judd OF State Board OF
Horticulture Addresses
Gov. Cutler.
CALIFORNIA WILL COMPETE.
with Memory of Utah's Victory at
Sacramento in Mind, Added Vigt-
lance VIII BE Required.

Gov. Cutler is in receipt of com
munication from Thomas Judd, presi-
dent of the state board of horticulture,
in relation to the proposed exhibit from
the State OF Utah at the Forthcoming
irrigation congress, to be held ut AL
buquerque, New Mexico, in October.
Mr.. Judd expresses himself as being
although the last legislature failed to
provide any appropriation for the pur-
pose. The matter, Mr.. Judd states,
has been taken up by Commissioner
Fred j. Kiesel, and will doubtless re-
suit in an exhibition being made by
means of funds raised by private con
tributions. That California will COM
pete, and that too, with the memory of
Utah's victory at Sacramento last year
when the Beehive State walked oil
with l6 out of II trophies offered for
various products, and in Mr.. Judd s
opinion, Utah cannot afford to go into
the contest this year with less than
$4,000 or $4,000 with which TO secure
a creditable showing.
The matter of the Utah exhibition at
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exhibition to
be held at Seattle In 1909 is also re-
ferred to. The state legislature appro-
pl1ated $4,000 with which to MAKE an
exhibit at this exposition. and Mr. Judd
suggests that $1,000 of the amount
might be devoted TO collecting grains
and grasses, nuts, dried fruits honey,
etc, for the Seattle fair, which might
without damage TO the articles exhibit
ed be shown at the irrigation congress
at Albuquerque.
Gov. Cutler is highly in favor OF
President Judd's suggestions, and eS
presses the hope that Utah will be
able to make as good showing at both
eXpositions as she did at the Sacra-
mento session of the congress.
