TARIFF BILL AS WE EXPECTED.
lErom Fibre and Fahric.l

Fibre and Fabric has taken the position
all along that there would not be any
radical changes in the tariff as far as IL
pertains to wool, cotton and textiles, as
the result Of being in touch with au-
thcritative and reliable sources OF infor-
nation, This paper has been in a posi-
tiDn to feel the pulse of political and
commercial sentiment. which would en-
able 1t to correctly diagnose the outlook.
an6 the report of the Senate finance
committee.
The bill reported by that committee
which. II Is generally believed. will be
substantially enacted into law. practical-
" restores the Dingley rates on textiles
and corrects certain schedules which
We're inconsistent or absurd. 1t has gone
700 far In restoring the old rate on tops.
which may be changed before the bill
reaches the President but otherwise we
do not anticipate any radical departure
from the rates as fixed by Senator AID
rioh's committee.
We doubted that the Senate would
stand for the very slight reduction even
on third class or carpet woods contained
in the House bill. They did not stand
for 1t an instant.
Nor did they cndNSe any OF tne WOOL
duties from a specific to an ad valorem
lasis. We have all along commended that
they would not be changed; and further
more that worsteds and woolens would
not be essentially altered, and they
have not been.
The intent Of the Dingley law relating
TO manufactures OF cotton has been
maintained. there being an extension Of
the specific rates to cover class of
fancy goods and novelties which are
covered in the existing law by ad valor-
ON rates, but the resulting ad valorem
rates have not been increased.
What those interested in textiles like
to know Is, what they are to expect.
That Fibre and Fabric has pretty clear
~ indicated what they might expect
inust be demonstrated to the satisfaction
of those who have followed its course in
this matter OF tariff legislation.

SUDDEN NAVAL REVOLUTIONS.

If there Is good foundation for the
fear Of England that Germany's rapid
construction of Dreadnaughts may
destroy her naval supremacy. then the
United States is confronted by the re-
markable fact that the great fleet OF
battleships which has barely returned
to our shores from it's famous trip
round the world. Is practically OBJ
solete. England has the largest and
most powerful feet in the world, but
It is held that II Germany were to
craft of the type In question, for
which present battleships would be no
match, England would be helpless be-
cause the great guns Of such a fleet
could demolish England's existing type
battleships before the latter could get
within range of the Germans
Right at this point the world is in
formed by Prime Minister Asquith Of
Great Britain that the world is facing

the eve of new developments and
forms in naval construction which
may vitality affect many of the govern

Great emergencies call for great ex-

Of progress. The stress of the Union
cause in the fact of the ironclad Mer-
rmac helped toward the development
of the Monitor. or the cheese box on
raft, as it was dorsivelv called by the
Confederates. Wooden war craft were
rendered obsolete in a day. while the
revolving turret became a fixture in
naval warfare.
Later on the rapid fire weapon be-
came the paramount factor in naval
warfare. and then the big gun ship
made is appearance and forced naval
architects to face still another prob
lem. Eacn nation has been striving
to Guido it's rivals in the size and
power of its battlecraft, and we are
now beholding the latest phase Of this
rivalry in the development of the
crisis producing Dreadnaught.
There Is no reason to suppose
that the limit has been reached
as regards progress in naval war
fare. and 1t is not impos-
sible that our British cousins have
made some discovery which in turn
will render the dreaded Dreadnaught
itself obsolete. Inasmuch as each
craft Of this description costs $4,000
900, 1t Is easy to figure the immense
sum which will be lost in that case,
hs untold millions have been wiped
put before with each revolution in
naval warfare.

same into whatever form the newest
naval invention takes shape. We

never afford to put all our naval eggs

SPRING FEVER.

A man on third: two batters out:
Two runs would win the game
II he could make a home-run clout,
Deathless would be his fame.
He hitched his Erimy trousers up
And spat upon his hands;
He pulled his cap athwart his eye
And faced the bowling stands.
'Three BALLS" the fans yelled with de.
light.
Two strikes" the umpire said.
He knocked the next ball out of sight
And then fell out of bed

freight in here-from the west. Los
Angeles will be a strong bidder for
our business. They manufacture a
pretty wide range of supplies down
there, including mining machinery,
steel, fabrics, flour and many other
things. And they are a live bunch
when it to business getting.
The Salt Lake press and business
men are awakening none too soon to
the need of getting better acquaint-
ed with the Ely district and estab-
fishing close bonds of friendship,
both social and commercial. The
Salt Lake press can do a great deal
in furthering the cordially of rela-
tions-more, in fact, than all other
factors combined, and in SO doing
should have the backing of the Salt
Lake business public. While on the
subject it may be added that a lit
tie later Ely will stand toward a
large area of country to the south
in the same relation as Salt Lake
at present occupies toward this dis
trict-as wholesale headquarters.
Get that in mind-that the exclusive
retail days, the days of supplying
our own needs only, are rapidly
drawing to a close. In a little while
we will have the opportunity to sup
ply many thriving, prosperous,
booming camps and farming COM
munities out along the line of the Ely
Goldfeld, and it is going to be UP
to the merchants of the district and
it's banking institutions to seize and
hold this business, building up the
commercial Ely which is to vie in
Importance within the next five OF
ten years with the industrial Ely dis
trict. And in bringing this about
with result of fortunes for the pro-
gressive pioneer merchants ano
largely increased prosperity for al
hands, the newspapers of Ely dis
trict will have the big part to play, il
tieing up the new country to this dis
trict through friendship and inter
est shown in it's onward march.

The press of Salt Lake moves
wisely in the attention lately given
the Ely district and the still broader
interest it promises in the future.
1t is a cold blooded, unalterable fact
that the press survives upon the ia
vor of the public, and very largely
the business public. No way may be
found into this favor by the press
except through the cultivation of
business for it's locality. No surer
way of making business for any
given center is possible than through
the extension of legitimate and lib
eral consideration to the merits of
tributary territory. The latter un-
failingly responds with business to
that trade center whose newspapers
give to the outsiders the largest
favor. Salt Lake business men
should appreciate the, attention he
papers of Salt Lake are giving the
Ely district, for it means a good deal
to them. They have a stiff hight
ahead to retain the business of the
district, which now amounts to
around 25 carloads of inbound gen.
eral freight every day. This at
present comes largely from east OF

Judah died shortly after the road
was completed to a connection with
the Union Pacific. His death was
a great loss to the company, because
our belief is that. had he lived five
years longer, he would have per-
suaded the company to build that
road that is but just completed; for
he had the exactness of the perfect
engineer and, when any mistake was
made, he never rested until it was
righted.
