STRAY BULLETS IN
THE CANYON.

There were 1000 men. women and
children in Ogden canyon on Sunday.
The street cars to the mouth of the
gorge were crowded and automobiles
and buggies carried hundreds over
the county road.
The bright day brought the people
out doors and all points of attraction
received attention.
Venturesome young fellows climbed
the hlllsides in the canyon and some
OF them went out on to the cliffs. Sew
eral deaths in the past have resulted
from cliff climbing In the canyon. 1t
Is a dangerous pastime, but young
sters are not amused unless they are
doing something extraordinary. few
of these restless fellows had small
calibre rifles which they fred without
thought of the possibility OF stray
bullet striking one OF, the many pleas
ure seekers below them. Many COM
plants were brought to this Office to-
day in condemnation OF this reckless
use OF firearms. The officers should
caution all those who go into the can
yon on Sundays or holidays that shoot
ing which endangers life will result In
arrests.

MONEY APPROPRIATED FOR MAIL
SERVICE.

julius Kruttschnitt, director Of
maintenance and operation of the Har-
Timan lines. has a series Of articles In
the Railway Age Gazette, bearing on
the subject Of the recompense of rail-
ways for the transportation Of the
United States malls. The articles are
filled with statistics tending to show
the inadequate revenue received by
the railroads for the work performed.
Among the WRITER'S arguments
against reduction in the sum devoted
to railway mail carriage are the in
crease in the speed OF mail trains and
the consequent increase in the cost Of
maintaining roadbed and equipment
and the increased fuel consumption;
the great Increase in the weight of
mail matter on congested divisions
where the likelihood of accidents is in
creased, and the dlsproportlonate sum
paid 10 the railroads in comparison
with the total expenditures of the post
office department
In the latter connection the writer
says that the revenues of the depart
ment increased from 1900 to 1908, 81
per cent. while the expenditures in
creased 90 per cent. But the sum paid
for railway carriage increased only %
per cent in the same period.

cHlNEIs FINDING A NEW MARKET

There is a new industry growing up
in China which may have It's effect
on the hog industry OF the Pacific
coast The Singapore correspondent
OF London paper, says:
Hope runs high among Chinese deal
ers and breeders of pigs that n great
trade in frozen pork will develop in
the early future.
When the news arrived from London
that Sir Thomas Sutherland had an
nounced at a general meeting OF the
company's shareholders that the d.
rectors planned to bring Chinese pigs
over to England during the coming
year in the refrigerating chambers Of
their liners. excitement set in among
the shippers and dealers.
Within few days applications for
refrigerator space poured into the COM
pany's Offices here, and the announce
ment has had to he issued that no
more space is available.
The price of pork is mounting even
at this early stage. while the cost OF
transporting swine by rail- steamer
or road has gone up also in anticipa-

with this line of freight.
There Is, In fact, a great prospect
of success for the enterprise. The
Chinese is one of the best pig raisers
in the world, just as he Is one of the
best all-round cultivators OF the soil.
Railways are spreading slowly. fan

pire. so that within visible space of
time huge area will be open to rapid
traffic. Canton may become the Chi

Chinese merchants with an eye for
the future developments Of trade are
firmly convinced that as access to the
interior is made easy, special steamers
will be built for the frozen pork trade
to Europe.
To this end they are comforting to-
gether even now with view to the
formation of syndicates. in the hope OF
anticipating European enterprise IN
the same direction.

The displacing OF the automatic
Stokers is not due TO any inferior work
performed by those machines, but is
made necessary by the fineness of the

LITTLE THINGS DESTROY
CONFIDENCE.

Young people little realize what a
great impression small things make
upon those who are watching their
careers, says Dr. Marden. writing In
Success Magazine,
A very successful business man be-
came so prejudiced against debtor
who did not pay his note. or even
speak TO him about 1t, until several
days after 1t was due, that he abso-
lutely lost all confidence in the young
mans business ability.
This young man thought that two or
three days would not make much diff
ference with a millionaire who knew
he was honest, but II made all the DIFF
ference between confidence and no
confidence.
Many young men are very careless
about their banking. They frequently
overdraw their accounts. and are not
prompt In paying OF renewing their
notes. They may be perfectly honest.
but they are careless. They lack sys-
TEN, are unbusiness-like, and this de-
stroys confidence.
Good business men are very prompt,
and they have no patience with pro-
crastinators. Promptness is a prin-
ciple with these men, and failure to
meet an engagement, to pay note
promptly, careless habit regarding
business matters, destroys their con-
fldence.
There Is no one thing outside of hon
esty which will help mans credit so
much as the reputation of being
prompt, punctual, Capital is very timid.
and unreliability, the lack Of prompt
ness, slovenly methods, will quickly
ruin a mans credit
Business men do not like to deal
with people they have TO watch all the
time. They like to feel sense Of GER
tainty and of security in their dealings
with man.
1t does not take long to ruin ones
credit or reputation No matter how
careful or honest he may have been
for years, he can undo it all in very
short time by carelessness, forgetful-
ness, sllpShod methods.

A marked feature of the game was
the absence of wrangling over the de-

the two teams attended strictly to
his own business and left the umpire
TO his part of the game.
The score by innings and the fact
that there were only three errors for
each of the teams, indicated that IL

ELEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS AN
ACRE AT OGDEN.

Fruit land in and around Ogden is
selling for $l1O0 an acre. The same
land will sell for $4,000 an acre when
the orchardists from other parts of
the country recognize the value of the
fruit lands In this valley
A ten acre tract was purchased two
years ago for $4,000. 1t sold today for
$1,000 The owner harvested one
crop which brought him $4,000. That
is making money at a rapid rate, but
there are 1000 other little orchards in
this vincinity awaiting men of money,
in the purchase and sale of which as
big margin Of profit will be made.
An orchardist informs us he sold his
crop Two years ago, receiving there
for $525 an acre. He estimated his
profit at over $500 an acre Now 5000
Is per cent on 81 600 and 10 per cent
on $4,000. An orchard that will yield
5000 AN acre is worth $4,000 an acre;
so that the outside men who made the
deal Of today, paying $1,000, have
made money. the purchaser of two
years ago made money and the only
loser is the original owner who did not

plain duty to refute this objection,
