cessful advertisers of the day. says of circulation
knowledge:
Publishers are slowly coming to realize that the
moment they refuse to place before the man who pro
poses to buy space for making announcements an abb
sOute unqualified and honest statement of the service
rendered it forces the advertiser to the only concu
sion that he reach-that Is that the man seeking
to sell the space Is conscious Of the fact that the space
ne has to sell Is not worth the price he asks for it.
Therefore he seeks to cover up and to prevent any
animation OF that which he proposes to give in ex
change for the buyers money.
Il prefer to leave shell games to the kind of men
that run shell games. L believe like friends. and in
response can be good friend, but permit no man to
put a blanket over my head in order to prevent me
from seeing the details of what should be an honest
and fair transaction"

The Best Christmas | Have Spent

60 OVERNOR, just which was the
" best Christmas day you have
spent?"
This was the question put to William
Spry, governor of the state Of Utah,
three times yesterday, each time only
to be answered with an increasing
smile of joyous deminiscence, and the
final answer:
My boy, every one that I can recall
has been the best, except that each one
has been just a little bit better than
the one before, and L expect that the
coming Christmas is going to be the
best yet.
If you tell me just what period you
want to refer to, maybe 1 can answer
you betted. When I was a little chan.
the Christmas that Santa Claus
brought me a red bobsIed seemed to
have capped the climax of Christmas
JOY. Then there were the years of
youth, when 1 thought I was reaching
manhood. Every year at Christmastide
was the best and better than the DAYS

Grande tracks, died at 4:05 yesterday
afternoon at St Marks hospital.
Williams, accompanied by his two
sole friends in this country, Richard
DiunefOrd and D. F.. Beardsley, and two
other employees of the Portland Ce-
ment company, was assisting in the
removal of q large eight-tOn rolling
mill from one of the company sheds to
the ward. A large fOTty-ton jack was
under the mill at one end, and some
skids We're being placed. Williams
craWled under the machine to place
one of the skids when the jack slipped
almost the entire weight of the mill
falling on him, and catching him across
tne hips. Only few minutes before,
four other men, including the two
friends of Williams. had been under
the machine, and no danger was eX-
pected. Mr.. Beardsley says the wet
ard slippery condition of the ground
caused the jack TO skid slightly and
the weight of the mill forced it out
altogether.
Williams was born in England TWEEN
ty-tour years ago, and three years ago
emigrated to Canada with Richard
DinnefOrd, where they remained until
1907. The two friends then came to
the United States, and have been in
Utah for about six months. working at
different places in salt Lake. Boards
ley and DinnefOTd said last night that
Williams was unmarried. but that his
father and mother and several Younger
brothers and sister were still living in
England, and that he had been sending
money home to assist in the support
Of the family.
