Coal Found in Taenum

The following appeared in the Sound
daiies this week:
Prospectors who are drilling in the
Taenum district for coal are reported
TO have made discovery of veins
which in richness and thickness are
equal to any which have been found in
the state. The deposits have been
tracked for considerable distance, and
land is being quickly purchased, pre-
sumably by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound interests. The Milwaukee
road will supply the engines of the
system from Taenum mines and huge
bunkers will be built at Elensburg
Drilling for coal has been quietly
conducted for the past few months,

DAYTON, Wash, Aug. IA dis

bv some to be due TO a volcanic dis
turbance in the Blue mountains, was

The Selle machine factory collapsed.
When the rear wall fell the crash
could be heard several blocks. None
OF the machinery was attached to the
wall. so that the damage will not
amount TO over $500. The building
was completed only four months ago.
The assertion of numerous persons
this morning that a slight quake was
felt here is given credence because of
the fact that in the Blue mountain
ranges east of here are number Of
extinct volcanoes. In Instances, at
least, during the last few years, per-
sons claim to have seen smoke issuing
from crevices in one point directly
south of Dayton.

FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS.

The Christmas windows of the var
ious houses of business in this City
are worth while looking at when. they
arc lit up In the evening. for the de-
coratons are really works of art. a
great deal of time is spent on making
the displays attractive. and In this re-
spect Salt Lake City is not behind any
of the larger cities of the country.
Our business men have the goods and
they spare no expense in displaying it
in an attractive manner. particularly
at this season of the year, 1t is worth
while the time and the carfare. any
evening, to take the family up town
to look at the windows II is a sight
the children particularly should not
miss
To Christmas shoppers we would
say that there is not q thing in the
line of useful or desired articles that
Salt Lake business houses do not sup
ply. except. probably. airships. or
ocean steamers. But anything in the
line of furniture, groceries. clothing.
Jewelry. perfumes. horses, carriages,
automobiles, etc. you can buy of the
business men who advertise in the
columns of the News" and just as
cheap as. or cheaper than. you can
send for it yourself Just scan our
advertising columns and see for your
self Our business men know very
well the wants of the public. 1t is
their business to know it. and to sup
ply it, And they are not backward in
so doing.
Study the advertising columns of the
News" Select what you want for
Christmas. Enjoy the artistic dis
plays In the windows. and deal with
home merchants. This. we believe, Is
good advice

trials and tribulations In the ranks of
the people Of God, and he has partaken
OF their triumphs and victories He has
ever been willing to serve. with his

his testimony concerning the truth of
the Gospel and the divine mission of the
Prophet Joseph is as clear and strong

coired the first impressions of the mes

is precious TO the Church. The mature
judgment formed after years of prac-
tical experience cannot be set aside by
fiimsy arguments. Opinions formed in
the school of experience have weight
even with those to whom the enthusi-
asm OF youth appears to be of small
value
In common with the numerous friends

of this anniversary. May peace and Joy
