PROSPERITY WAVE
DEVELOPMENT RETARDED, BECAUSE OF
LACK OF LABOR. !

Washington, August 4.-Indisput-
able evidence that the country is
rapidly recovering from the effects of
the recent financial depression and
that it now is on the crest of a great
prosperity wave, is furnished by app
peals received by the Lewiston of in
formation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, Particularly from
the West. The greatest cry for
labor comes from Lincoln, Neb. The
bodies of that city made
a similar appeal before the panic but
following the slump countermand-
ed the request for labor.
In letter received from W. S.
secretary of the CONNER,
cial club of Lincoln, it is asserted
there is a great need oflabor both
skilled and common, throughout the

prising city in southern West vir-
ginia, may wake up one of these fine
mornings and find itself, or a good

The state line between West yir-

decidedly wrong, and to put it where
it properly belongs will whack Blue

leave Pocahontas on the West vir-

DECLARES ENACTMENT OF Law PROVES
REPUBLICAN PERFIDY.

New York, Aug. 5.-Alton B. Par

in 1904, made the following state
ment on the new tariff bill:
The opinion widely entertained
and sometimes expressed in the cam
paign of 1908, that the republican
platforms promise of revision of the
tariff was intended to deceive the
people, is now fully justified.
by bold and impudent speech the
senators and members of congress
have asserted that the plank prom
ised revision, not reduction, of tariff
duties. Their only reward is public
contempt, for their arsumentsdemon-
strate that the purpose of the tariff
plank was to cheat and defraud the
voters, and, at the same time the
action of the majority in congress
makes them parties to fraud in that
they sought to consummate it. The
president has made strong effort
to secure at least the appearance of
party honesty, but the little he has
accomplished has been at great cost.
For once more the precedent is
created of the executive using his
great power to coerce coordinate and
Independent departments of govern

.MR. BRYAN And TEXAS.
He WILL PASS INTO HISTORY THE
SAGE OF LINCOLN, NEB.
Mr.. Bryan need not have denied

Mr.. Bryan need not have denied
the yarn about his contemplated
change ofresidence in Texas. Ne

the Sage of Lincoln, as Mr.. JeEer-
son is the Sage of Monticello, Gen.
Jackson the Sage of the Hermitage,
Mr.. Tilden the sage of Greystone,
and SO on. Transplanting an active
statesman at fifty is risky. After a
man retires from Office it is different.
Mr.. Cleveland did not go to Princeton
until the ftful fever of politics was
over. Mr.. Bryan is still feyerish,
with a hight temperature.
But there is something worth his
while in the story sent out from Aus
tin, that his Texas house, for which
the construction contract has just
been let, viii be the handsomest
country house in the state. viii it

to shelter himself in that fashion for
the winter Being rich man, he
can afford such an OUTLAY, and his
Texas neighbors will expect him to
make good appearance. But should
he outshine them. Beyond certain
point, the plain people are sensitive.
Years ago the late William Win
dom, of Minnesota, built handsome
house in this city for his own use.
He had presidential aspirations and
as consequence the house grew in
popular report throughout the north
west into a magnificent palace. He
was represented as living here on a
scale that threw foreign potentates
into the. shade by comparison. 1t I'm
ally became necessary to photograph
the house in order to convince an
aroused and indignant public that
Mr.. Window was not puttinr nm
side" at the capital, but simply
living comfortably after the fashion
of his neighbors.
A few years later Mr.. Blaine had
similar experience. He, too, built
a roomy house in Washington, such
as the size his family and his public
station demanded, and that was mag
nifed by report in political circles in
to mansion imposing without and
gorgeous within. Such magnifcence,
it was said, was but rarely INDUCED
IN by an American citizen. And in
the end Mr.. Blaine had to call in the
service of photographer to set
himself right with the public.
Mr.. Bryan would do well to let
the cattle kings and the oil kings of
Texas compete for the honor of own
ing the handsomest country house in
the state. They are expected to be
ambitious on that score. and can af-

had sealed up the ballots, poll books and

the council did not want to take the risk
of violating the law, which provides that
the ballots shall remain sealed for six

ONE ON MoReAN's PARTNER.
cleveland Plain Dealer.)


OF course it may seem mean to dig it
up on him now that he's made good, but
George W. Perkins, now famous as
partner of J. Pierpont Morgan, was once
a singer in a church choir in Cleveland,
and his only claim to distinction in
those days was an incident now past the
memory of all but the older inhabitants
of this town.
George lived here when he was a
young man in his early twenties, and he
liked to sing. He had a first rate voice
and made the choir out at Beckwith
Memorial church, if one is correctly in
formed as to the particular church. The
choir singers sat in a loft back of the
pulpit almost hidden from the congre-
cation. AT that time there were two
or three remarkably pretty young wo-
men in the choir. Well, there wasn't
any harm in the bass or tenor singers
looking at the cOntralto or soprano
members OF the choir and feasting their
eyes on them when the sermon dragged,
was there? Certainly there wasn't. But
being seated all in row, it was neces-
sary sometimes for one to tilt back
ones chair in order to get a square view
of face at the other end.
That is what George w. Perkins did
one bright Sunday morning, if the dope
is handed down Alright. He shifted his
chair about a trifle to get q still better
view. Unhappily, one leg of his chair
had been resting close to the top Of the
steps that led down from the choir loft
to the main auditorium. When George

.U|NTAH NATIONAL
FOREST REPORT
Supervisor Advises No Increase
in Sheep Grazing Per-
mitS for Season.
Especial to The Herald-Republican.)


Provo. Nov. 1I.-W l. Pack supervi-
sor of the Uintah national forest, in his
report to the department at Washington
recommends that the custom of allowing
increases in the number of sheep to be
grazed on the Uintah forest be forgone
next year The reason given by the su-
peTVisor is that such range is as suited
TO sheep grazing is already fully stocked
and that any additional sheep would be
a detriment to the forest. He suggests
however, that there are two districts,
watersheds. where an additional $500 cat
tie and horses might be grazed to good
advantage. These districts are in the vi
entity of Theodore and the watersheds of
the Beaver and Provo rivers.
Inc reports shows that the Uintah for
est receives S3ot0 annually in fees. OF
THIS amount % per cent is turned back
TO the counties for road building and the
construction of school houses. Three
counties are affected by the Uintab APP
preparation and owing to the inability
10 get at the exact amount due each.
without an immense amount of labor, it
Will be equally apportioned to the Utah,
Nasateh and Uintah counties.
The foresr comprises 1,250000 acres and
is patrolled by eleven men.
ThlS year considerable road work was
done which, with the plantin, fence
building, timber sales and the patrolkng
of the forest kept the men busy. The
forest now has forty miles of road, 205
miles of trails, 80 miles Of telephone, S
miles of fencing and cabins. An acre
mas Deen SEEDED TO pines and about 1000
yearlings transplanted
During the season 265, 600 sheep and 1900
cattle were pastured on the forest. Forty
two timber sales, aggregating $4,000, are
pending and a gigantic sale is under way.
a tract containing 20,000,0G0 feet of tim
Der has been examined and approved for
sale. 1t will take about $500 coo to finance
the scheme, but IT is expected that the
deal will be closed during the winter.
The total amount of timber of the forest
IS estimated at ] 500 COG. 900 feet
During the next season it is expected
that the following improvements will be
made; Road building, 80 miles: trail
building, 800 miles; 80 miles of telephone
connections made, Il miles of fencing
done, 16 cabins constructed and 6 eOrrals
built.
Nj. Pack expects the showing his for
st VIII make to rank him first in the
amount of business attended to and sec
ond in the amount of fees collected when
compared with all the forests in the dis
trict
One of the features of the forest that
he delights most to refer to is hiatt the
top price paid for May lambs on the
market this year was paid for lambs that
grazed on the Uintah. These lambs
weighed Y pounds and brought $50 a
hundred.
