STRUGGLE FOR THE MONEY.
Various Claimants of $2,4f0 That
Came in Newspaper.

Uncle Sam is not to have it all his OWL
way in diSpOSing of the s., 410 received by
newspaper through the Ogden postoffice
The latest development makes it certain
that there is to be a fight for the money,
and this may develop into three-cOT-
nered contest for possession.
Mrs. Daisy McGaw of the Ogden post
office has positively identified a photo
graph sent here from Portland, Ore, as
that of the man who applied at the post
office for mail addressed to Charles
Price two months ago. This man, Civ
ing the name of Charles Wells. was ar
rested in Tacoma and is now in Jail in
Portland charged with being one of those
who robbed a bank on the east side of
that city some time before the exposure
IN Ogden II this proves to be the fact
IT IS possible that the S2,4l0 may prove
TO be part of the money stolen from the
Portland bank. 1t IS clear that the bank
IS 10 tight for possession of the money.
Mrs. McGaw is positive On her identi-
tication., She had good opportunity
for studying the features of the man
She was at the delivery window when
Price called for his mail When he
discovered that he was watched he hur-
ried out, but Mrs. McGaw followed him
through the city and to the Bamberger
depot where he boarded a train and es-
capped.
The real Charles Price, who lives at
Five Points, and who still holds the mon
ey, has no intention of giving it up I'M
til compelled by law to do so.
United States Marshal Smyth and other
officials of the federal government have
been in ogden much recently collecting
evidence upon which to base a suit
against Price for possession of the mon
ey, claiming that il should be turned
over to the dead letter office as IN
claimed mail. Now comes the third
claimant in the person of the Portland
bank. making a complication that will
be interesting to watch.
Mrs. McGraw describes the man who
called for the mail as tall. slender, light
complexioned and dark hair. He was
well dressed and gentlemanly in mis-
hearing

1AE EXCHANGE PROPOSITION.

A big New York daily paper pro-
The proposition is that the western
papers give about $40 to $50 worth of
advertising space-if it gets a fair rate
for $40 subscription. The maga-
zines, even the dollar ones, send on a
press notice that would fill three
sticks and wonders why the average
newspaper fails to give them a notice
that costs quarter for composition in
exchange for a 10-cent magazine. The
book publishers pile the desks high
with book reviews to be published en-
tirely gratis. This and that press bu-
reau adds to the pile. 1t is a beggar's s
saturnalia, symposium of petty graft.
There is a great deal of good in
much of the accumulations that litter
the editorial desks but the average edi-
tor is disgusted with the sordid, greedy
and somewhat unprincipled processes
of the hand out" gang which sends it.
One great publishing house sends it's
press sheets broadcast in the hope that
its good stuff" will attract favorable
mention of it's publications while. ac-
tually refusing to send the publica-
titons themselves except as paid for.
These people should get the marble
heart from the newspapers In the case
of the better daily papers they do. oc-
casionally an editor of an alleged
newspaper is lazy enough to see good
copy in column of two of long maga-
zine notices but these are few. The
whole gang of handout beggars should
be denied, driven from the door, and
the police notified.

THE WORST ABOUT IT.

lhIlOANlIle Oooi huA'J
The worst thing about all this tariff
business is the fact that lot OF news-
paper editors seem to think that they
are bound to defend any old thing that
their party representatives in congress
may do. If the party declares that an
ordinary blackbird is a spotted tailed
rhinoceros, the aforesaid editors join
in with joyous acclaim to pound the
dissenters into the earth. What Is
there about the tariff that forbids open,
aboveboard, truthful discussion? Why
should any republican editor charge
Dolliver and Cummins with trying to
destroy the tariff when they ask for
little reduction here and there? Why
should any newspaper try to make its
readers believe that a tariff on corn is
helpful to the Iowa farmer? Why
should any one attempt seriously to
defend tariff rate on manufactured
articles Of more than 200 per cent?
Why should any one assert that the
party is not pledged to downward
revision of the tariff? It's too much
for US. The Journal was credulous
enough to believe Mr. Taft when we
heard him promise to use his best ef-
forts to secure decent and honest re-
vision of the tariff which should be in
the main downward. Nor can we now
be induced to believe that Mr.. Taft
has redeemed that promise. Nor do
we believe that the country will ac-
cept 46 per cent tariff as revision
downward of the Dingley law, which
carries an average rate of as per cent.
1t is possible that Mr.. Taft and con-
gress are doing the wise thing but they
are not doing the thing they promised
to do.

LAST OF VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN

After Earthquake Shock.

After Earthquake Shock.
Several years ago great earthquake
IN the far north produced an active
volcano IN a mountain on little island
Of the Aleutian group. Now the vol
canic mountain has sunk out Of sight
and in it's place is lake Of boiling
water, says San Francisco dispatch.
The earthquake that produced the SEN
sattonal change occurred June 21.
The result Of the strange submarine
commotion was discovered by the crew
of the United States revenue cutter
Perry Of the patrol feet guarding the
seal rookeries.
AS the Perry steamed near to inves-
tigate it was noticed that the water
around the vessel took on an unusual
hue. From dark green it changed to
dull gray and then to milky white.
Steam came from the water as the cut
ter came on, and the atmosphere was
so charged with heat that It became
unbearable.
The Perry approached as near as
possible, and the crew saw stretched
before them a lake, which had formed
in the center of sink made BY the
settling mountain. To determine the
temperature Of the water thermom-
eter was lowered over, and those on
board were startled to see the record
rise to 240 degrees. A number Of eggs
were then lowered in basket and
after being in the water few sec-
onds were found thoroughly cooked.
