wooLGRoWERs DISCONTINUED.

Woolgrowers. in their convention at
Ephraim, Utah, have expressed their
discomfort with the arbitrary PROPOSE.
tiou of the forestry service to reduce
the grazing Of sheep by 20 per cent
next season on the forest reserves
in that part of the State The sheep
owners protest that such a reduction as
this would destroy their woolgrowing
industry, and they affirm that the
proposition for reduction is not made
in the interest of the forestry service
nor Of the preservation of grazing
areas. They claim, in fact, that there
has been no diminution of the graz
ing capacity, acre by acre, but they
strongly suspect that the order of the
forestry service is taken in the inter
ests Of tho cattle men as against the
owners of sheep.
1t is probable that The sheep owners
in that convention know fully as much
about the grazing capacity of the fores-
try range as do the officials of the
forestry service. 1t is, IN fact, OF
more vital personal interest TO the
sheep owners TO know all about the
range than it is 10 forestry mon. And
the fact cited by the sheep owners Of
Ephraim, that the sheep came off the
range in excellent condition the present
season, argues strongly in favor OF
their contention that there has been no
over grazing.
The situation thus developed empha-
sizes anew the complaints so frequent
" made of the arbitrary and Ill
considered action of the forestry Off
cials. This action is apparently taken
on a theoretical basis, without duly con-
sidering the practical points involved
There would appear TO be no reason
why the sheep owners shouldn't under
stand the situation perfectly, and pre-
sumably if the position taken by the
forestry service was correct the sheep
owners would see the correctness of 1T
at least as we'll as anybody else, and
they surely would not be likely to make
protest against an order that was
plainly in the interests Of the grazing
facilities of the reserves.
The oppressive feature of the situa'
ton, however, comes in when 1t is con-
sidered that there is, practically no ap-
peal from an arbitrary order such as
this of which the sheep men complain.
The order is made, and it has to be
complied with Appeal TO the higher
officials Of the service so uniformly
sustains the arbitrary action of the
local officials that as rule such appeal
is absolutely hopeless. And so, although
the sheep men at Ephraim probably
have the matter right, 1t is not easy to
see how they are going to help them
selves as against the order OF which
they complain.

INVASION OF THE HOME"

Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Courier j Jonrnal, has come out in fervid
protest against the invasion of the
privacy of the home by newspapers His
appeal is endorsed by good many of the
papers Of the country, and TO a large
extent Justly endorsed. At the same
time. if we are to consider newspapers
as a reflection of the sentiments and
desires of their readers, and OF the
communities in which they are print
ed, we must admit that the newspapers
in invading the home are doing to a
large extent precisely what their read
ers want them to do. Nothing is more
common, and in many ways more dis
gusting, in newspaper office. than
the flood Of people who come in and
want. to have the newspaper S report

ed considerable amusement to myself
and family, chiefly because we are ac~
quainted with people who joined IT.
Ono of your correspondents says that
the true history OF the order is not

As TO details, that is undoubtedly true,
But knowledge OF the order, its plan,
ritual and purpose and how 1t came TO

from hearsay, but also from converse
tions with those who chad put the
world behind them" and also from
talks with "agcnts'' for the order and
many others The affair created con.
siderable excitement Mt the time.
The true history Of the order is this:
Brigham Young always counseled, or
rather commanded his followers to have
nothing to do with Gentiles, TO trade
or sell nothing TO them, and TO leave
them alone Especially was this g coun-
sclD strenuously enforced IN regard
TO land. Brigham hated TO see Il Gen,
| tile acquire ownership of piece OF
| land and many n good brother got what
what he bid for by selling land to a
Gentle.
At tho time the "United Order OF
| Enoch" was founded, military post
had been established at Fort Douglas
and Gentiles were beginning to come to
! Salt Lake City. Brigham S dictator,
ship was somewhat hampered. He did
not want Gcntlles to come TO Utah, and
above ALL he did not want any of them
| to own any land. Brigham and those
about him made list of all the "'weak
witted. - "simplc- minded ''not
smart and "easyp brethren in the
country. OF course, Brigham decided
whose names should 90 on the list. II
was feared that the Gentiles might pre-
vail upon the 'simple' TO sell ol
trade land.
The ".United Order of Enoch" was
invented or launched by Brigham II
tic up the lands and property of these
''simple- minded - people.

had to deed all his earthly holdings tt

this remuneration of the world tht

prophesieS as to the great and glorious
benefits Of the order, both tempora
and spiritual, were unblushingly mad

AN "ENoCHn INCIDENT.

Under city date Of November y,
1909, the following communication has
been received at this office:
Editor The Tribune;-In your issue OF
this date, w 3. Mohr gives what he calls
the funeral of Enocllism, While tpht cpl
sode may have been the beginning OF the
end, the finish, I think was conslpnmatcd
In a little interview between the late Cap
tain William II. Hooper and the late
President Brigham Young.
Mr. Young addressed himself to Cap
tain Hooper as follows: Captain, when
are you going to put your property INTO
the Order OF Enoch2" After a moments
hesitation the captain replied: Just as
soon as you put yours in. Brother Brig
ham" And ! believe that was the death
kneu OF the Order of Enoch--at least, |
heard nothing more Of that lovely estab-
lishment after this came out.
Captain Hooper was not one of those
whom "Brother Brigham" could
" "hornswoggle,' as we have heard the
term used by many of those who had
been similarly approached, but who re-
fused TO bite at the pretended prophet s
Elusive bait. And yet, as an aside,
perhaps we should not refer to Brigham
as ga pretended prophet for we be-
lieve lac once preached sermon in the
old tabernacle, in which be said that
he was not prophet or the son of a
prophet However, we intend to look
that up at another time.
AS will appear from the communica-
ton of GA Subscriber Captain
Hooper and the others who were asked
to put their property into the @ United
Order of Enoch" found President
Young to be precisely like our present
day prophets, seers, and revelators
in the one respect that they demanded
that which they would not themselves
grant But there was a business sly
ness in the reply of the Captain; and
evidently he knew his "prophct" well.
The outcome shows that Brigham also
knew the Captain quite as well, mas
much as the latter's reply (as sensi-
BILE business man) appears to have
tended TO squelch all pressure on him
to come into the ''United Order
Upon thinking over the matter again.
though, there may have been another
thing that acted as deterrent to Cap
tain Hooper. All those who joined the
order were required 10 be rebaptized
and we have n mind to believe, from
what we know of the Captain S expert
ence after the first baptism, that he
was determined that they shouldn Z
"duck'' him another time.

Enochism,' we guarantee it VIII never

GHOST OF ST. AGATHA SAID
TO HAVE BEEN SEEN ON PEAK

CATANIA, Jan. 16.-For two days
the populace of Catania have been in a
state of great excitement over a report
that an apparition of st. Agatha, the
protectoress of the town, had been
seen on the summit of Mount Etna.
Those who say they saw the specter
declared that the vision seemed to
them like an angelic Dream St.
Agatha being enveloped in thin, vapor-
Gus clouds, through which shone rays
of dazzling light, while her right hand
was extended as though in sign of
benediction and protection over Ca
tania
Because of these reports the belief
has spread that Catania was saved from
the earthquake only through the in
tercession of st. Agatha.
Great groups of persons assembled
in the square and on roofs Of houses.
g1zing at Mount Etna, waiting for the
vision to reappear.
Many of them say that when the
smoke from the volcano was densest
and the sun was shining strongly on
the glittering snow they saw st.
Agatha fall upon her knees. The cred
ulous, on hearing these tales. knelt in
prayer and beat their breasts as pen
ance for their sins.
The Duke of Genoa arrived here yes
terday and visited the hospitals, where
he addressed words Of consolation to

HARTMAN HITS
AT COLLEGE MEN
Says Employees Must Start in at the
Bottom, No Matter How Well
Educated They
Are

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. led
ward H. Hartman has written for the
Yale Daily News his views of college
training as preparation for railroad SER
vice. He said in part:
"A college education will be a. great
help if the man in going through col
lege has kept the foundations of his
school learning firmly fixed.
"On the other hand, if he has
neglected his handwriting and forgot
ten his arithmetic in the higher mathe-
matics, nothing could be worse for him.
1.-THE college education is, in the be-
ginning, a real disadvantage, and
have found that in every case the high
school boy does better work than the
college man for the first few years.
However, as soon as the college man
has gotten back to the first principles
he will go ahead much faster than his
less educated rival.
mo matter how we'll educated a man
may be he must start in railroading at
the very bottom. 1t is the hardest life
1 know of, and yet one of the most
pleasant. It cultivates an insight It
teaches a knowledge of men, and in
this way is the best training for any
profession.
Pull can never carry a man far in
railroading. 1t is hard work and ap-
plication that counts.
MY advice to the college man ex-
pecting to enter railroading and hoping
to have an easy life is DON'T, but to
the man who does not mind the hardest
kind of work, who will not quit under
disappointments and who wishes to
have the most interesting sort of a
career is by all means-DO."

will appear for the bill.
Pure Food Bills Approved
The committee on public health and
quarantine, of which Senator Rose
berry is chairman, has approved two
bills by Senator Mccartney charging
the operation Of pure food laws.
The first provides for the sanitation
Of food producing establishments, and
declares politics in violation Of this to
be nuisances dangerous to health, and
providing for their abatement. The
other act prevents the manufacture
and sale of spurious food and liquors
and drugs, and makes an appropria-
ton to carry out the acts.
The committee on county govern
ment reported favorably upon a sem
ate bill relating to the making of con-
tracts by counties. 1t makes a gen
eral rule to the effect that when
amounts above $500 are involved the
board of supervisors must advertise for
bids and let the contract to the lowest
bidder. At present there are seven
special laws of the kind, but none that
apply generally.
Leeds Of Los Angeles has introduced
a bill in the assembly regulating the
pilot charges to be made by regularly
licensed pilots ait San Pedro. The bill
substantially makes the charges the
same as those prevailing at San Fran
cisco.
A similar bill will be introduced in a
few days covering the port Of San
Diego. Leeds also introduced a bill
that makes it possible for cities acting
under a freeholders' charter to change
their names. Upon petition of 40 per
cent of the qualified voters of a city
tie board of trustees or city council
must call an election to pass on the
question of change, and if a majority
Of the electors vote favorably the name
will be changed.
This measure specifically affects
Ocean Park, Los Angeles county, it
being the wish of certain persons to
change it to Venice. The bill will be
Rntagonized.
Other bills introduced in the assem-
bly, were:
By Rutherford-An act to regulate
the hours of labor for underground
miners in mines, making the eight-hour
day prevail
By Coghlan-An act increasing the
number of notaries public in the state
to eighty-fve, giving San Francisco
i've more notaries
