effect the change as intimated.
A matter of further Importance
than the points mentioned above may
develop in proposition which Is pos
sible of coming before the meeting
for the sale of the water rights of
the company in the district. Value
of half a million dollars has been put
on these rights and recently ii was
said that larger offer than repre-
sented by that amount had been
made and refused. The News is not
in position to say authoritatively that
the offer made at the coming annual
meeting of the Federal. if it is made,
will be from the United States Smelt-
ing but 1t has most excellent reasons
at this timef or believing that report
that the U. S. will make a successful
bid for the Federal Ely rights is cor
rect and that with possession of this
water secured the L. S. Co. will lose
no time about getting busy in this
district to the end of operating
greater reduction works than those
which have been interfered with in
the Salt Lake valley recently.

last September. Shumway, the hired
man, killed the woman ard stole all of
the savings of the couple he could find.
He ran away, but was captured in Mis-

behind a bed. His story was that on
returning from the fields he found the
woman murdered, and, fearing he
would be accused, ran away. The court
says the evidence of his guilt is most
convincing.

LIBERAL MARITAL
ETHICS TAUGHT TO
GIRLS AT ACADEMY

Philadelphia, July 2l.--Emanuel
Swedenborg's works on "Conjugai and
Scortatory Love- form a part of the
curriculum at the wealthy Academy Of
the New Church, a college, theological
and normal school and girls seminary,
at Bryn Athyn, Pa.
In these teachings the author argues
for the sanctity Of the marriage tie, but
carefully d~ifferentiates between the
several degrees of evil involved In the
various possible violations of that tie.
He goes even further; he asserts that.
for some temperaments, certain rela-
lions outside the married state are not
incompatible with the preservation Of
the true t"conjugal principle"
SO much, though not much more, was
admitted yesterday by two officers OF
the institution One was the Rev
Charles E.. Doering, treasurer OF the
school and instructor in Swedenborgian
ethics, and the other was the Right
Rev, William f. Pendleton, the Swe-
poration of the academy.

OSTRICH BATTLES
WITH A LARGE CAT

New York, July 2l.-William 7. Hor-
naday, curator of the Geological gar
dens in the Bronx, learned from John
~Englehardt, a keeper, of an incident, in
the ostrich pen that he hoped would
solve the problem of preserving the
wild birds and their nestlings from the
attacks of an army of domestic cats.
One large tiger cat that for months
has defied the keepers and hunted with
insulting openness met it's match-and
that, too, a bird.
Pursuing a broken winged sparrow
into the ostrich Enclosure, the cat.
aroused the curiosity of a male ostrich,
young, but nearly a yard high at the
shoulder. The cat was crouching for
a spring when the ostrich's beak
touched it on the back from behind,
The startled cat leaped straight up in
the air and landed facing the ostrich.
Seeing 1T was confronting an animal
with feathers the cat showed fight. 1t
sprang for the ostrich and sinking it's
claws in its neck started a shower of
feathers. The ostrich ran n few steps
then began to beat at the cat with its
wings. The a leaped off and the
complaints, looking for an opening
eyed each other for a full minute. Sud
denly the cat sprang again. 1t was
met in full flight by one kick that end
ed the battle. The intruder scared over
the fence, lay still for a moment, stole
one look in the direction Of the strange
bird and fled.

OF AppRAISING
UNCLE SANS WEALTH
HAS REALLY BEGUN
Commission Prepares to Bring
in Report on Resources
January 1 Next.

Washington, July 20.-Actual work
on the first inventory or the natural re-
sources of the United States has begun.
Under the direction Of The national con-
~servation commission 1t will be carried
on vigorously throughout the summer.
commission to make the report which
President Roosevelt has requested of
II for January / next.
A meeting Of the chiefs OF bureaus OF
the executive department has been
held, n the heads of the various d.
visions concerned with. the country's
natural resources have offered their
hearty cooperation in the great task
which the commission has undertaken.
So now, within only a few days over a
month from the date the national con-
servatton commission was named by
the president, active work Is going on
in every bureau of the government
which can furnish material available
for tho commissioner report.
A great moun Of this material Is al
ready available In the government de-
partments; other important parts OF
It, however, will be collected through
special channels. Among these viii be
the state conservation COMMISSIONS,
which the governors are appointing,
and some Of the great national organ
fzations which were represented at tho
White Hous conference and which
have entered with spirit into the gen.
erat conservation movement. In other
words, the machinery for making the
first inventory ever attempted OF the
resources Of the nation has been set in
motion and is running smoothly.
Clifford Ptnchot, chairman OF the
commission, has changed his plans and
will shortly return to Washington to
continue personal supervision of the
work. By early fall the commission
expects to have in hand sufficient ma
terial to begin the study of the stock
Of the country's resources, and by the
middle of October 1t hopes to have the
great part of this material in hand.
This will be necessary in order that the
ull commission, which holds its first
meeting Tuesday, December 1, in
washington, may at once take UP tha
study Of the facts which the summers
work has brought together. One week
later the commission will hold a Joint
meeting in Washington with the gov
ernors of the states. or their represent
atives, with a view of securing fur
ther and closer cooperation with the
various state commissions. .su
The commission has devised q new
n interesting method by which to col
lect this material. A schedule of in
quiries embracing the whole subject OF
forests, lands
n minerals-has been arranged and
sent to each bureau chief with a re-
quest for suggestions and criticisms.
This has resulted in obtaining the ex-
pert advice of the men al the head OF
the different bureaus who will have
immediate charge Of the collection Of
the material. President Roosevelt, who
Is keeping in very close touch with the
has approved this method
and has written to each chief of bu-
reau a letter commencing the en-
cooperation shown by the
bureau n emphasizing his belief in
the great Importance of the work the
Conservation commission has

VALUE OF WIRE LINES
DEPENDS UPON SERVICE

Lincoln, Neb., July 21.-What the SUI
preme court will do to the railroads
If any rate case comes before it. was
indicated in a decision in a case from
Dodge county, where the Western
Union objected to he taxing of its
lines at a uniform rate of $54 per wire
mile. 1t contended that the board had
given the mileage in Dodge county the
same value as every other wire mile
in the country. The court says this is
proper. 1t says that those wires carry
messages sent from n state to anoth-
er through this state, and this service
enters into the value Of II, in Dodge
county. 1t says that the income Of the
messages ~received~in Dodge county ia
not a proper measure of the value of
the wires, because they carry inter
state messages also. 1t holds, too, that
the net earnings of a corporation for
one year Is not conclusive Of it's value.
Applied to railroads this is in oppo-
sitlon to the theory of the corporation
attorneys that only intrastate business
shall be considered in determining the
earning power of the companies.

HOW WILL KISSIMMEE

Kissimmee, Fla, July 22.-This place
