A TRIBUTE TO DOWNING.

Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake City
pays the following beautiful tribute to
Landon L. Downing, formerly a we'll
known and respected resident of this
city:
Last Saturday in this city Landon
l.. Downing ceased to live. His death
will not c many people, for he
was a quiet, transformations man; he
never sought for any notoriety, he
never pretended to be the sterling man
that he really was. Men saw him ev-
cry day for years, noted only his quiet,
genial ways, and never dreamed that
he was in native manhood and great
heartedness n of ten thousand. When
stricken he vas on his way to carry
relief to a poor, obscure family on the
outskirts of the city. That had beer
a habit with him all his life and what
he did was only restricted by the limi-
tations Of his income.
His death is a great loss to the
circle he moved in; it is a great loss
to those who in their distress, leaned
upon him, he had the unquestioning
confidence OF those with whom he was
associated; but to him life was a
sacred trust and every time he feA
that LIES books must be balanced ev-
cry night, that not one reprosch should

CURES COUGHS AND COLDS
Hyomei Gives Relief in 10 Minutes
Cures Over Night.

Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that Hyomei is recognized among sci
entists as the specific for catarrh,
asthma, bronchitis and hay fever, but
there are a great many people who do
not know that Hyomei will cure a
cough or a cold in less than twenty
four hours.
But everyone should know that the
soothing, balmy and a~ntiseptic air of
Hyomei when breathed over the raw
and infamed membrane Of the nose
and throat will instantly allay the in
fammation, and will effect a prompt
cure.
Complete Hyomei outfit, including
inhaler, costs only $1.00 at the Eggles-
ton Drug company, extra bottles, II
afterwards needed, will cost but so
cents.
Joseph NJ. Harbaugh, Holdridge,
Neb.. writes: Il have used your Hy-
omei in my family for two years or
more. and find it one of the best RENE
dies we ever used for a cold or SORE
throat. We find that 1t gives quick
relief in cases OF catarrh."

Lacks Elements of Competition.

Experience has, however, been suf-
fcient to demonstrate that duplication
of telephone service lacks the elements
of competition, and has inherent draw
backs which are singular to itself,
says the Ell Paso tTex.} Herald
If two water companies should be
permitted to lay pipes in your back
yard, MI. Subscriber, you might be
justified in complaint at such waste
full and needless encumbrance of the
street, but you would not be compelled
to take water off both of them in or
der to satisfy your needs. So of a
gas company or an electric light ON
pany. While unnecessary encum-
brances of the street with pipes ami
wires is bad public policy, it may not
utterly destroy the principle Of COM
petition.
In telephone service competition is
impossible. The element of personal
contact, in conversation, which in
here's in the telephone, makes it as
impossible for the subscriber to use
two telephones comparatively as for
nm 1 VIII TWO pSOpiC az
the same time. The telephone deliv-
ers nothing at the door, or through
service pipes. like ice, or water, or
gas. 1t is a device placed in the Office
or the home to enable the subscriber
to talk with his customers or friends
and TO enable them to talk with him.
Talk; don't walk" is a telephone
Injunction. The nature of the service
demands initiative and Individual ac-
ton on the part of the user that ban
ishes the competitive idea. The sub
scriber must talk to one man at a
time over the telephone, as he does
in private conversation. He cannot
speak, individually, to a greater num-
Der; therefore, nobody can say to
him; I'VE offer special advantages"
for they are possible in one way, and
that only-the opportunity to talk to
everybody through each telephone in
strument in the community. That
would be perfection in telephone SER
vice.

Above Party Lines

Strong efforts are being made by the
Cheyenne Leader to have the demo-
cratic convention take up the public
land question as a matter of partisan
politics, and has resurrected the old
banner Of state rights to be unfurled
to the breeze. The Leader seems to
be living among "reminiscences, and
overlooks the fact that the doctrine of
state rights, so called, was laid in its
grave by Abraham Lincoln many years
ago. Rip Van Wrinkle is not the patron
saint of the American people. The
principle of building a wall around
each state, with toll gates for the pas
sages of interstate commerce, will
hardly appeal to a business people
whose watch-worjs are development
and progress.
The attempt to make the division OF
opinion on the public land question a
matter of partisan politics, will not
fool the people of Wyoming and other
states. This paper is opposed to any
measure that has yet been submitted,
and no measure that has been placed
before congress has the least possible
show of even serious consideration.
The Leader should remember that the
advocates of the Burkett bill or the
Murdo Mckenzie modification are not
all republicans. 1t should further re-
member that the men who are most
vigorously opposed to the provisions
of that bill, and who are in best posi-
ton to prevent their enactment into
law, are republicans.
The land question is industrial-not
political, and any. law enacted on the
subject will be only after careful n
sideration and study, and entirely ire
spective of party lines.-Newcastle

LYDIA E. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work COM
b1ned have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
OF the world a remedy for their Pc
cuiiar ills, more potent and efica-
clous than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST..
Louisiana, Mo-, writes: :,
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
OF other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
| followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. l. is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What,Lgdia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff.
It will do for other suffering women

Geysers May Result

Geysers May Result
In about one year the great dam in
the Shoshone canon eight miles above
| Cody, will, in all human probability,
| be completed, and during the high wa
| ter season of 1909 the reservoir thus
| created will be largely filled, raising
| the water between 200 and 800 feet
| higher on the sides of Rattiesnake and
| Cedar mountains than 1t has ever been
known since mankind existed in North
America.
This momentous occasion will be ac-
companied not only by wonderful util-
itarian results, creating thousands of
acres of fertile farms from the barren
desert, but there is also every reason
by natural phenomena which will star
tie the scientific world and make OF
Cody the mecca of hundreds of sav-
ants and thousands of s~ight-seers.
All over the level table land lying
east of the mountains and immediate
ly west Of this city may be found
hundreds of extinct hot springs era
tiers. while on the very summit of Rat
tlesnake mountain there exists a IRA
ter Of unknown depth that has been
explored by adventurous prospectors
to a depth of about 400 feet.
At the bottom of the 100 foot gorge
in which the river flows through the
table land before mentioned, just east
of the main canon, numerous hot
springs and at least one small geyser,
now exist, forming the famous De-
Maris hot springs.
It is apparent that before the water
broke through the gorge 1000 feet
deep which divides the two mountains,
n lake Of immense proportions was
formed exactly where the government
dam will soon again impound the surg
ing floods of the two branches of the
Shoshone river.
When those conditions prevailed,
millions OF years ago, all those gey-
sers were in active play. The water
from the lake followed s~ubterranean
and devious openings IN the bowels of
the mountains, came in contact with
certain chemicals and became heated
to a high temperature in doing SO, and
formed a geyser basin that was equal
to anything now found in the national
park.
The ~undoubted history of those re-
mote ages is imperishably written in
the formation which everywhere ap-
pears on the DeMaris bench, in the
gorge of the river and in the great
canon itself, except where the red
granite dyke appears at the damsite.
Two natural conditions produced
these geysers and hot springs, namely,
the chemicals contained in the noun,
tains and the lake above the mountains
that forced the water through sub
terranean channels and over beds of
these chemicals.
Is there any eason to believe that
like conditions will not produce SINH
lar results?
That the chemicals still exist is evil
denced by the flow of small hot
springs at the river level at this time.
So the only other element necessary
to the resurrection of those extinct
springs on the higher levels and of a
thousand times greater volume is that
of the empounded water west of the
mountains. This will be supplied by

Promises Of Support From
Chamber of Commerce.

Cncle Sans gunmakers employed at the

1orce last evening at a mass meeting In
Naval Lodge Hall, 4th street and Penn
sylvania avenue southeast. The meeting
was called by leading citizens of the Dis.
trlct members of the Chamber of Coma

Association. Its purpose was to voice a
protest against the attempt to divert
some Of the gunmaking work for the
city to private establishments in Penn
sylvania.

zens Association: James OConnell. presi-
dent of the International Association OF

agent of the Columbia Lodge of Machin-
lists. and John Torch, president of Cen
trail Labor Union. made addresses.
Chamber Of Commerce to Aid.
Mr.. GUIDE said the Chamber of Com
merce Is going to do all in it's power for
the advancement of local industries. He
declared the District of Columbia is
hampered by law from bringing manu-
features to the city, and it behooves
merchants as well as machinists to do
all in their power to hold the present
work at the navy yard. He also said it
the manufacturers committee of the
chamber at an early date.
Mr. O'Connell declared the merchants
of the Capital city owe their business ex-
istence to the workingmen. and said the
constant nibbling at the local navy yard
work by private firms all over the coun-
try will have to be halted, and in the
future the machinists at the yard will
look to the business men of the city to
do their share toward preventing work
being taken from the yard.
Steel Magnates Behind Move.
"You will find that the greed of Schwab
and other steel magnates is behind this
move" NJ. I. Weller asserted. 1T is OF
vital Importance to the business men Of
East Washington that the navy yard
force be not decreased. We will join
with the machinists in opposing this &C.
ton to the end.
1t would be distinct violation of the
intent of Congress in making it's great
naval appropriation at the last session if
the guns should be made elsewhere than
in the local navy yard. l am positive
of that fact.

Loss Of Homes Likely.
ITO throw these men out on the street
is to take from them all they have
They cannot possibly find other me-
chanical employment here. They would
be compelled to break up their homes
and lose all that they hold dearest
Messrs. Adams and Lorch also pledged
their best efforts to keep the naval work
here.
Thomas Carroll, chairman Of the meet
ing, presented resolutions setting forth
that any effort to remove any portion
of the ordnance work from the navy
yard to private concerns would be
blow at naval efficiency, and protesting
vigorously against the proposed move.
The resolutions have been sent to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf.
