efforts OF centuries have been achlev-

with Its inconceivable cold and Its
fierce blasts, has hung so long upon
It's apex. has been pierced; the spec

all been exploded, and the only import
ant fact that has been established IS
that when our valiant ex-president and
his ubiquitous son have exterminated

OGDEN IN NEED OF A "cITY
CLUB"

Rov Elderkin states that one of the
most edifying experiences of his trip
East was meeting with the City
Club" of Kansas City, Missouri. This
club is made up of the best citizens of
Kansas City. who meet once week to
discuss public questions and pass
opinion on municipal problems. The
influence OF the club is becoming
powerful In the support OF clean gov
ernment.
At the weekly meeting which Rev.
consideration was the granting of a
long-term franchise 10 a corporation.
The merits of the proposition were
entered into by champions for and
against and the proceedings were re-
ported in eXtenso by the newspapers
of the city.
Just such a club is what this paper
has been advocating for several years,
and we now suggest TO President Hey
wood OF the Weber Club that he In
quire into the proceedings Of this
Kansas City organization with the OBJ
ject in View OF enlarging the scope of
the Weber Club to embrace the pur-
poses for which the "City Club was
called into existence.
There should be some large body of
men to carefully review the work Of
our public officials. There has been
no grand jury callod in years and
there is need of some Independent
group of citizens TO inquire into the
stewardship Of those entrusted with
office. This is said without any con
cealed thought that wrong-doing ex-
lists. but with the idea that a safe
guard of some kind against the pos
sibility OF Irregularities in office Is
desirable In all communities.

An explanation was made to the
sheepmen by the secretary In which
was said.
The forest service realizes that TO
secure the cooperation OF the sheep
men in the improvement OF the range,
they must nave some assurance OF re-
newal OF permits for a term OF years
and that just as fast as the controver-
sizes between the stockmen are set
tied and the number OF head OF stock
grazed upon the national forests Is
found not to be In excess OF their
grazing capacity, the approval OF APP
plications for permits Tor period OF
five years will be authorized by the
department.
These permits are to be issued I'M
der a guarantee that only such re-
ductions on permits viii be made
thereafter as Is found necessary TO pro.
vide for bonafde new settlers and
which In no case must cause reduc-
tlon of ten per cent on any permit.
In order 10 protect the old users
OF the forests, the total number of
stock allowed all beginners for the
f1rst year must not exceed per cent
of the total allowance OF the forest"
1t is thought that this plGn Will give
greater stability 10 the livestock buSi-
ness and Will encourage the stocltmen
to take better care Of the ranges.

RETURNS FROM A
TEIP TO ALASKA
Professor Squire Coop Talks Of His
Vacation, Spent in Northwest,

Mr.. Squire Coop, arrived Friday af-
ternoon from his vacation trip to Al
asia and the northwest Mr., Coop
has been absent the larger part of
the summer. spending most OF his
time in listening 10 the call of the wild
in British Columbia and Alaska In
a talk Mr. Coop said,
zone has little idea OF the immenS-
ity of Alaska and the grandeur of its
scenery, in fact. there is much OF
both that the mind becomes bewlld-
cred in contemplating It.
"As to the resources. Gold, OF
course, is still being mined In great
quantities. but the indlvidual miner
is fast disappearing. making place Tor
the larger financial companies who
are epXending millions In working the
river beds with machinery. | should
Judge that agriculture Will fare poor
~ IN Alaska, while the livestock In
dustry will prove successful.
The coast of course, is lined with
fishing villages. peopled mostly by In
dlans and half-breeds. The attention
OF the traveller Is arrested by the
marked contrast between the Indians
of the northwest and our Indians. The
former resemble the Japs In physlog-
nomy and somewhat In stature; they
have not the proud bearing nor tho
dignity of countenance Of tho tribes
with which We are so well acquainted,
The northwest Is forging ahead in
commerce. On every hand arc to be
found surprising evidences of indus
try and business. Seattle of courso
is the busiest city just at present. but
far from being so beautiful as Port
land San Francisco has erected hu.l-
dreds upon hundreds OF skyscrapers
and yet the graves of almost as many
buildings yawn grimly. reminding one
of that awful cataclism which wreck
ed the city"
