THREATENS GREAT INDUSTRY.

Because the government has set aside
an enormous territory for forest re-
serves in Montana. and because ii is
alleged the smoke and fumes from the
great Anaconda smelter are likely to
injure some of the forests so set apart.
the president has proclaimed his inten-
ton of instituting proceedings for an
injunction to close down. the smelter
at once. With the enormous power
and unlimited means of the govern
r1ent behind him it Is quite possible for
him TO attain his object and. if success
full, ruin the mining industry of Mon
tana. or a large part Of it, beyond re-
covery. Certainly his success would
mean irreparable injury for a long term
of years.
Like all other copper smelters. the
Anaconda plant has been the subject of
litigation and been compelled TO pay
damages TO settlers whose lands have
been injured. Utah knows all about
such litigation and has had bitter
dose of the effects OF injunctions which
closed down the smelters and mines.
1t is right that the smelters should
pay for damage inflicted and, so far
in the proceedings. no one ever doubt
ed that real damages would always
result in judgments against the smelt-
ers. sometimes for more than the land
would pay in any other way
But the president proposes off-hand
TO injure whole state. close down it's
most important industry. inflict a
money loss OF millions annually, to say
nothing of the want and suffering to
the men thrown out of employment,
and all for the protection OF forest re-
serves of infinitely less value than the
mining product which is to be sacrificed
TO the executive impulse to wave the
big stick.
Utah is interested to this degree, that
the extension of presidential authority
TO the question in Montana may easily
fOreshadow the same sort of move
wherever smelters exist within days
travel of a forest reserve. whether
there is any forest on the reserve or
not. What has heretofore been mat
ter for federal courts to decide as be-
tween property owners and smelter
owners is now brought into the domain
of government action; suits may be in
stituted on the presidents initiative.

LAMENT OVER LATE TRAINS.

NbOStOn heTdlO-t
Elmer NJ Thayer, a rich resident OF
North Dana, Mass, became imbued
with the revolutionary ideas about
marriage that have recently been cur
rent and decided that he would enter
into a trial marriage, and died of wor-
~ over the notoriety his action brought
upon him.
A North Dana man said to a report
err:
1T is no wonder Thayer wanted TO
have a trial marriage, for he always
regarded marriage for life as a dam
gerous contract. He always said that
it took a brave man to enter into it.
"Thayer stoutly held that only one
marriage in a hundred was happy. He
used to say that if husbands and wives
spoke their minds frankly, they would
all agree heartily with Rudolph Dug
dale of North Adams.
