Road Drags and Wide Tires.

When the soil is stiff or loamy
it pays to use the split-log road
drag after it rains and before the
ground dries hard. Nine-tenths
of the country roads could be made
into thoroughfares by the proper,
persistent use of the road drag and
wide tires.
Wide tires alone will keep a
road in fairly good condition with
Just one scraping in the spring to
round up the turnpike. Sandy
roads are a much more serious
problem, but sometimes surface
of clay will soon mix with tie
sand to form a hard track, and
wide tires will keep it hard and
smooth 60 the ram water will run
off quickly to the sides, but narrow
tires will ruin such a road surface
quickly by cutting ruts to hold
water. 1t would be difficult to in
vent q worse implement of destruc-
ton, especially ON roads that are
inclined to be sandy. :.

In the case of the government
against the Standard Oil Co..
wherein the notable fine of $29,
100000 was assessed against the
offending corporation, the expect
ed happened as the outcome of its
appeal against the judgment OF
the lower court. The court of ap-
peals has set The verdict aside and
ordered u new trial on trivial
technicaIity. We do not question
the integrity of the appellate
Judges in obtaining this decision,
it is simply the corroboration OF
the contention that wealthy male
factor need not fear the conse-
quences of his law-breaking us
long as the law provides the loop
holes for bis escape. 1t is accept
ed that our courts are complaisant
in the matter of looking up the
loop-holes for the wealthy defend
ant. In this case the guilt of the
offender was not questioned, since
the guilt had been clearly establish
ed, and the reversion was given
the only foundation it could stand
upon, that of an overstepping OF
the rule of law by the trial court.
The new trial having been ordered
the Ligh-priced legal talent of the
Standard will now exert itself to
stave off the case in court for 9
few years, and in the end it will
probably be dropped from the
docket.

Mr.. McVicar, Miss Danilson and

because of their selections which
were admirably suited for declama-

contest was very close one and
rather difficult to decide.
The judges who rendered the de-

The winners will now be In train

A man who pursued the phantom
of gold in Alaska with varying sue
cesses, says that one of the things
that was always with him was the
task of forgetting his little pinched up
ideas OF the size of Alaska, and MAX
ing room for the new ones. He had
seen pictures of glaciers, and thought
of them only as field of snow and
ice covering a great spreading gulch
a few miles long, but the Alaskan
glaciers comprising little worlds by
themselves obliterated his old shriv-
eled ideas, and he contemplated In
astonishment the glaciers so large
that on their bosoms were rivers and
lakes, Ice mountains, canyons, cliffs,
waterfalls, great forests and mossy
glens, all moving toward the sea at
the rate of few feet per year but
contributing rivers that never touch
the land from source to mouth and
leap sheer into the sea at the lower
edge of the glacier
While viewing the lower end of

steamer that sailed up the bay to
within half a mile of 1t, a great block
of Ice hanging out over the cliffs,
split off with a crash and plunged
into the deep water, sending a great
wave across the bay that tossed the
vessel about like an eggshell and left

round waves that continued to roll
back from the monster rolling and
plunging in the bay.

RAWHIDE WILL MAE
BIG MILLING CAMP
No Show for becoming shipper. Says
Rickard.

That Rawhide is not a shipping
camp and will not be, is the belief
of Tex Rickard, who is one of the
heaviest owners of property in that
camp. That il is a milling PROPOSE
ton. and good one, is his firm opin-
ion and freely expressed.
The camp is every day going deep
er and is now proven to depth of / so
feet, which is the deepest working
on Grutt hill. Large ore bodies have
been opened and much ore is blocked
out and ready for the mill. This is
true on several properties, Mr. Rick
ard states.
1T makes the people over there
sore when | tell them that they
haven't shipping mine in the whole
camp, but they haven't. AS milling
camp, however. believe it will be
one of the greatest in the country"
The population of the camp. which
was about 10000, has dwindled down
to about 1000, he states.

states that the total expenditure for

He is reducing the force first put into

cable figure, the standing force now
being about 2S, although still further
reduction in numbers will be made.
There is no evidence of threatened
disorder in any praticular part of the
state. now. and the force can be re-
duced to the minimum. The law is
elastic and the force can be augment

The state police law is working so
ell in Nevada that it is attracting

time goes along and the law and its
operations are more generally under
stood. the early prejudice is passing
away and the heartiest approval is
accorded it on every hand.

COUNCILMEN HAVE
DECIDED ON ELY
CITY HALL PLAN

\ good deal of interest has been
aroused In Ely by the announcement
of Councilman Carbon that the conf
mittee on the new city building has
practically decided upon plan en-
bodying ideas from three sets sub
mitted by George +. Beardslee. While
nothing was decided at the council
meeting Thursday night it is prac-
tically certain that Beardslee's plans
will be adopted.
The design which was most pleas
ing to the committee is too expen-
sive for the present state of finances
of the city government, the cost be-
ing $1,000. The second plan of ar,
Beardslee was practically the same,
except for the fact that fancy trim
mings are left OFF and a less preten-
tious finish called for in the interior
arrangement of the building.
From the exterior, the building
will be fairly handsome in appear
ance. From the street large door
for the fire wagons to enter will be
seen while at the side of this will
be a door for public entrance. The
basement will be divided into COM
partments for various purposes. Tenn
porary cells will be placed in II for
the use of city prisoners. The first,
or ground floor. will be utilized by
the firemen for their apparatus. On
the second floor will be room for
council meetings and the city offices.

districts, said Mr., Carbon. I'm case
these measures are voted down we
shall be able at any rates to complete
the simpler building. which will cost
approximately $4,000 by the end OF
the year"
Mr.. Carbon also pointed out the
fact that the plan of construction
would be a good one in view of the
fact that later the building could be
turned over for the exclusive use oi

Big Batch to BE Sold to Highest Bid
der in One Utah District.

SALT LAKE CITY, May ID
New and almost startling develops

hour in the wool situation nowadays,

the part of grower or buyer. Today
brought something entirely new. Sew
eral hundred thousand pounds of
wool. is to be placed upon sale at
Jericho, Juab county, tomorrow. The
sale will be somewhat of a public
auction, as growers will have their
clip on the ground and buyers will
slip pieces of paper to each owner.
On these pieces of folded paper win
be the prices bid upon the clips. A
Pullman car has been chartered and
reservations are being taken today
in lively shape. Every wool buyer
now in Utah will go down to Jericho
and they will be accompanied by a
number of railroad men, desirous of
being "Johnny-on-the-spot' so rout-
ing can be arranged with purchasers.
This development In face of the
fight being waged by the Utah Wool
Growers association Is sensational.

movement to store to create a mar
ket and with Philadelphia and Oma-

points in Utah are throwing their
