OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRUCKING.

The opening up of the New Orleans Great
Northern railway to Jackson, Miss, last
week means that this section has another
outlet north for products which we do not
produce. The natural forests which God
planted and which grew without assistance
from man offered the encouragement for
the construction of this road and will fur
nish the product with which freight trains
will be loaded. The first freight train which
left for Chicago July consisted of 100 car
loads of lumber, propelled by two engines
and trailer.
Does it not seem strange that such God
favored country should be so neglected in its
opportunities? Feed for horses and cattle is
raised elsewhere and purchased by many of
the farmers here, while canned vegetables
condensed milk and other farm products and
nearly all manufactured articles that find
their way to the farms are imported from
other places.
These conditions will remain just as long
as the farmer refuses to take an active part
in movements for his own salvation. Insti-
tute and other meetings gotten up for the
advancement Of his interest show state
of apathy that must be conquered if any,
thing is to be accomplished.
Railroads are grand factors in the building
up of a country. They offer opportunities
for wide-awake people that have never
failed to better conditions, and in doing this
they in part solve the difficult problem of
financing their projects; and it may even
be probable that when other sources of reve-
nue. fail they will put a rope around the
farmer and drag him out of the mire. But
in the meantime valuable opportunities are
being wasted, and the comforts of life that
would result from the hours Of toll in the
field are absorbed by the failure to reach the
consumer who is willing to pay, and to pay
and to pay we'll, for those things which can
be produced here in abundance.
We understand that movement is on
foot to form cooperative truckers and loan
association, with view to getting the farm
ers interested in the trucking business. We
have plenty Of land that could be proftably
planted in truck, and there is no reason why
carloads of berries, melons, cabbage, onions
and potatoes, as we'll as early corn and to-
matoes, should not be shipped from here in
season, while figs and grapes should be able
to compete with any part of the world.
The farmers should think seriously of this
matter and work earnestly for the establish
ment Of the business. Get together in
Ineighborly meetings and talk the matter
over. Learn what is being done in nearby
places. Then hold public meeting and see
that every farmer in your neighborhood at
tends. The railroads will be only too glad
to handle the business.

CALLS UPON THE GOVERNOR TO COME
OUT OF HIDING ON PROHIBITION

question. as to the best means of com
batting the enemy? The answer instantly
comes to the mind. yes" But again the
questions as quickly come: why doesn't
he give his idea of the proper plan of bat
tie? Why does he not come out manfully
and state his opposition to the prohibition
plan?" Silence again. Suspicion again.
Dark and ugly accusations made during
the recent campaign come Immediately to
the mind as explanatory of the position.
Every Circumstance seems to confirm IT,;
and it appears that the only course for
the governor to take TO clear himself OF
suspicion and proclaim himself a man is
to:
First-Send an additional message to the
legislature recommending prohibition; or
Second-Send an additional message to
the legislature recommending that prohi-
bition laws be not enacted and give his
reasons for not agreeing with the vast
majority of the people of Utah.
He cannot be neutral upon so great and
important a question and retain the re-
spect of the people
1t is only 10 be hoped that the first
course suggested. will be taken and that
| with others can be charged with being
"a little too previous.
Let the battle go on. Fight, fight. for
the right. even If we have not the COVER
nor with US. I hope with all my heart,
however, he is with us.
