was one of our pioneers, and she pos
sessed in a marked degree the vir-
tues of our pioneer women, patience,
thrift and Christian fortitude. 1t is
this type of womanhood that has done
so much for our state and nation. We
all knew her as a neighbor and in.
Vulnerable were her acts of kindness
and love. As parent, self was COM
pletely submerged in maternal love.
She was paragon of unselfishness.
Her character was the embodiment of
all those virtues found in an ideally
pure and beautiful womanhOod.
The example of this character is the
legacy of those who survive her.
We mourn the death of Grandma
Norton. as we all affectionately called
her. The community and her family
have suffered an irreparable loss.

JOHN LIND FOR SENATOR
THAT IS SCHEME OF THE GOPHER
DEMOCRATS NOW.
Congressional Districts Will, So Re-
port Goes, Line UP for Hammond
For Governor

Washington, July l3.-A letter has
been received in Washington by a
member of the democratic congressional
committee, which is the cause of gen
eral gossip in democratic circles. 1t is
understood to be from prominent
Minnesota democrat, whose name Is
withheld, and gives a summary of the
democratic situation in the state, and
the prospects for democratic success in
the congressional, senatorial and guber-
material fights that are to come next
year.
John Lind of Minneapolis is named
as the man most likely to make the
race for United States senator. Con-
gresham w. S. Hammond of st. James
is mentioned as the probable candidate
for governor, and success is promised
in ''many of the congressional dis.
tricts" The exact districts in which
democratic victory is promised are not
given, hut the letter intimates that
there will be strong congressional
ticket in the field in every one of The
nine districts in the state.
One of the most interesting state
ments made in the letter, according
to those who have had an opportunity
to read it, is that Governor Johnson
is to be "active in the campaign" The
governor is apparently to retire from
the ticket and take a leading part in
the effort to capture the senatorship
for former Governor Lind, the COVER
norship for Congressman Hammond
and the choice congressional berths
for those who are best fitted to make
the fight in the respective districts.

decided to have grove on his farm
which should consist of trees gathered
from the different states of the union
He wanted some of the white birch
to be found on the hills of Fillmore

were ordered Mr.. Bryan has been
around the world and run for the pres
idency, but the moment he saw Meahan
he thought of the trees.

dton to luck there was big some
thing besides; there was sincerity OF
purpose and keen desire to do and
be something, high ethical standard.
Luck and chance are not as safe to
go by as is sincerity, and as a second
Istep to finding the Golden Fleece, do
not depend too much on luck and
chance. Take a helping hand, interest
in Others but not the busy body kind
of helping"
Don't Say, whats the Use"
"Above ALL" said Mr. Hopkins, eff
search, never say what's the use. They
are lot of little words put together
into a very harmful sentence, that is
positively detrimental to success. Pre-
pare yourself to move other peoples
brains"
Mr.. Hopkins also spoke very EN-
phatically on the so called law of
heredity, which he said is no law at
all. The men and women have done
things, have done them in spite of
their ancestors. Such men for exam
pie, are Daniel Webster, A. T. Stewart,
Robert Burns and William Shakespeare.
They have reached the land of the
Golden Fleece in spite of their an
cestors. Another step in this important
search is to see things as they are
in business and politics. Do not be too
quick to laugh at other people ideas.
If you see things as they are there
will be no trouble about lack of OPP
portunity, although opportunities will
not come up the stairs to You on a
golden platter

Four Year-Old Boy
Wrapped in Sheet of
Fire; Near to Death
From Mondays Daily.
+ + I. + j. + + I. I. + j. + + + +

Herbert, the four year old
!. son of Ernest Fallenstein, met
with severe and very painful
: accident this morning, that mar
: rowly missed causing his death.
The family arose early, at their
home, 329 Plum street, leaving
the little lad sleeping. At a
: quarter before seven o'clock the
family heard him crying as
: though in terror, and Mr. Fall
. lenstein rushed upstairs to
find him standing at the upper
landing with his night gown in
flames. The father soon had the
fire out, after wrapping the
boy in blanket, and hastily
: summoned a doctor.
: Boy Severely Burned.
: The physician found that the
: boy was severely burned on the
: outside of both legs, across the
! chest and back, the flesh peel
ing off in places. Steps were
: taken to alleviate the pain, and
+ the boy has to lie on his stom-
+ ach, as any other position is
: agony to him. The physician
+ expects to save his life.
!. Lighted a Match.
: Investigation showed that the
: boy, upon awakening, had pick
: ed mp match left by his
grandfather and had lighted a
: lamp, as he had seen his grand
+ father do a day or two ago.
The lamp was burning, but the
!. globe was removed. Only one
: match had been used, and it
+ evidently had set fire to the
: night gown before the child had
. time to place the globe on the
+ lamp.
: Last fall Herbert broke his
: arm, and he has had numerous
other accidents, including an
eleven foot fall into a cistern.

WATCH THE POsTOFFTCE

The tab that the postoffice de-
partment keeps on business affairs oil
the country, in connection with the
regulation Of the salaries of post
masters, Is an excellent indication of
the growth of various cities and
towns. The first OF July, of each
year, postmasters' salaries, In presi-
Dental Offices, are re-rated the list
being published the first of June. The
difference between the capital towns
OF Utah and Idaho is SO great this
year as to be particularly noticeable.
Salt Lake City the postmaster's sal
airy is raised from $3,700 to $4,000,
while the salary Of the postmaster at
Boise Is increased from $2,100 to
$4,000 Salt Lake City from a bus
mess standpoint, barely held her own
during the past year, while the BUSH
ness at Boise increased at an enor-i
nous rate, being over fifty per cent.
Nearly every presidential Office In
Idaho has been raised, and especially
is this the case throughout this sec
tion, for instance, Blackfoot from
$2,100 to $4,000; Idaho Falls $2,40O
to $2,500; Rexburg $1,7O0 to $1,000;

TILDEN BRIDGE GONE

Tuesday morning report reached
town that two spans of the Tilden
bridge had been washed away by the
unusually high waters of the Snake.
Later on this report was followed by
the more startling news that the en-
tire bridge was gone. This is in
deed bad news. The people down
Tilden way worked hard and faith
full to secure the crossing to enable
them to market their produce in Po-
catello, giving literally of their time
and money and making repeated ag-
gressive visits and talks to the finan-
cial centers of Pocatello and Black
foot, including the county commits
sioners of Bingham, until finally they
were rewared for their persistent la
bors by the erection of the bridge
which was only recently completed.
Fortunately the railroad Is an assured
fact and 1t will prove Il nlp-e secure
means Of transportation though the
Journey tc PocatellO viii be loagnI
and more expensive perhaps.
