S. H. BABc0CK RECALLS
DEEP CREEK PROJECT

). II. Babcock, formerly for years con
nected with the Rio Grsnde Western. now
traffic commissioner for the Salt Lake
Commercial clubs traffic bureau. was
quite interested In the plans Of c W SEQ
tleld for building a line to the Deep Creek
district and said yesterday that he hoped
the project would go through. He recalls
many instances Of railway enterprises car
RED on in the west years ago BY Mr.
Scofield and says he knows the New York
er very well by reputation, although never
having met him personally. He recalled
the time when the Rio Grande Western
was considering a project to extend the
Tintic branch to Deep Creek That was
in 1891 and 1852. He said:
Tine project was taken UP very enthu-
siastically. Our plan then was to extend
the line almost directly west from Silver
City into the Deep Creek country and we
actually built five miles of the track
across the sage brush We had piles of
material on hand for the construction-aII
the rails we needed, think. Then we had
TO cross the oregon Short Line and that
road put up objections TO our crossing
They commended it was a very dangerous
and we were held up a long time
with court procedures to condemn a right
of way across their tracks. We sent
many experts and engineers into that
country and they brought back adverse
reports and the enterprise was finally
given up. The five miles of track con-
structed was torn up and the rails re-
moved

Salina and Farmers Are Civ
en- Helpful Hints.

Salins, Feb. z5.-The farmers. institute
train arrived in this city at o'clock yes
terday and was met at the depot by al
most the entire population. A committee
mad been appointed by the town council

Home-making." At the conclusion of
the talk a reception was held in her
honor and luncheon served. The meh
met at the lecture car, where Professor
Merrill spoke for nearly three hours on
the subject Of "Dairying" There were
more men at the thaln than could gain ad-
mittance to the car, but those in attend
ance gained many points that will be
helpful TO them in their farming opera
tons here. Professor Merrill spoke on the
necessity of organized effort in promOt-
ing the dairy business. insisting that Utah
offered opportunities in this direction IN
equaled by any other state. He called
attention to the fact that we have cheap
er feeds and better markets for our dairy
products than obtained in the famous
Elgin district. However. he said that one
reason for the failure of Utah farmers
along dairy lines was the fact that the
average dairy COW produced but us
pounds of butter Fat per year, as com
pared Win production OF 80 pounds
per COW in the Elgin district.
Many stereopticon slides were used. IL
Illustrating the various types aud breeds
Of dairy cows, and the lecture was pro-
nOunced by all as being a most helpful
one to the dairy interests of this section.
At the evening session 22s men and wo-
men gathered at the ward hall, where
Mrs. Rena B. MaycOck spoke to the ladies
on the subject of Organization and Econ
omy in the Home" and Professor Henry
". Crockett spoke TO the men on the sub
iect Of Horticulture" Mr.. Crockett's
lecture was a very interesting one, and
the questions asked indicated that there
was an active interest in this branch of
agriculture.
tt is the unanimous opinion OF the peo-
pie of Salina today that the farmers in |
sttute held here has been the most help
full thing that has come TO Saiina in a
great many years, and there Is q univer-
sal desire on the part Of the farmers in !
this locality to profit by the Instructions /
given BIZ the professors from the Agricul- |
turaI college.

Hedberg Of Cumberland. Wis. al Una
tilia on Aug. of last year, was partly
cleared up yesterday by the discovery OF
the missing mans head two miles north
of Hermiston- Efforts to find the re-
mainder of the body have so far been
unavailing, as .the head had probably
been carried to its present location by
coyotes.

train the night OF Aug. to get a cup
Of coffee and dropped completely out Of

siderable money.

PEARY AGAINST COOK.

We are publishing this week Com
mander Peary's alleged proof of his
repeated assertions that DR.. Cook
did not reach the North Pole. As
will be seen by the reader his whole
proof rests upon the statements Of
the two Eskimo boys who accom-
panied DR.. Cook in his Arctic travels,
the statements being given 10 detail
by the young Eskimos, it is claimed,
as drawn from them by questionings
OF Peary and members of his party.
When DR.. Cook asserted that he
could prove by the EskimOs who
were with him that he really reached
the pole, Peary answered that Eski-
mo testimony was worthless; their
statements could not be depended
on. Yet Peary's sole evidence that
DR.. Cook did not reach the pole is the
statements OF this same unreliable
Eskimo testimony. 1t is needless
to say that Commander Peary'
promised proof has made little i'm
preston, and the public confidenc,
in DIR. Cooks claims remains un
shaken

w. w. Parker, Druggist, Gives Facts
Regarding Dyspepsia.

Although indigestion and dyspep-
sia are so pravelent, most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and how to obtain relief. There
is no reason why people should not
eat anything they desire-if they will
only chew it carefully and thorough
ly. Many actually starve themselves
into sickness through fear of eating
every good-looking, good-smelling
and good-tasting food, because it
does not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If
we refuse every article of food that
disagrees with us, before long we have
nothing left. and find ourselves
chronic dyspeptic.
We are so confident that we can
furnish relief for indigestion and dys-
pepsia that we promise to supply the
medicine free of all cost to every one
who uses it according to directions
who is not perfectly satisfied with the
! results. We exact DO promises and
put no one under any obligation
whatever. Surely nothing could be
fairer. We are located right here
where YOU live, and our reputation
should be sufficient assurance of the
genuineness of our offer.
We want every one whois is troubled
with indigestion or dyspepsia in any
form to come to our store and get a
box OF Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets.
Take them home, and give them a
reasonable trial, according to direc-
tions. They are very pleasant to
| take; they soothe the irritable stom-
ach, strengthen and invigorate the
digestive organs, promote a healthy
and natural bowel action, almost i'm
mediately relieve nausea and stomach
| Irritation, produce healthy diges-
tion and assimilation, and promote
nutrition.
A 25-cent package OF Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days'
treatment. In ordinary cases this is
sufficient to produce complete relief.
In more chronic cases, a longer treat
ment, OF course, is necessary, and de-
pends upon the severity of the trouble.
For such cases we have two larger
sizes, so cents and $1OO. Remem-
Der you can obtain Rexall Remedies

Governor Kitchin Attends to His
Duties.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
Governor kitchin is an illustration
of a man who attends to his duties,
no matter what the papers may say.
During the canvass for the nOmind-
ton many were the predictions that
he would "run amuck," "the Sta te' s
business would suffer" and all that.
Instead he has remained at his post,
declining invitation after invitation,
refusing at. first to 90 to the Kings
MOuntai celebration, but he finally
yielded. He should have gone and
now he is going to Introduce Presi-
dent Taft at Wilmington next month.
But these are exceptions. He sticks
right to his knitting and the public
is fast finding out that he is the hard
est man to fool that ever held Office.
Ga ajoling him or fiattering him has
no effect; he insists on knowing all
the facts in the case before he acts
and favoritism has no place with
him. Some time ago he approached
a prominent gentleman and asked
him about the qualifications of a GER
tain man desiring some position. He
said he wanted to know il he was
competent, honest, sober and a gen
tleman who could be relied on. The
answer wa yes, but his informant
remarked-"but he fought yournom-
inatiOn.' "That makes no difference
to me. ."replied the Governor" want
the best man for the place" And be
got the position.

The Cade Type-Setter.
Charlotte Chronicle, 18th.

Charlotte Chronicle, 18TH
Rev. Baylus Cade, of Shelby, the in
tor Of the Cade type-setting machine,
gave the Chronicle a call today on
his return home from Philadelphia.
His machine is being made in that
CITY. and Mr. Cade has been there to
make a final inspection of the draw
ings and to give them his approval.
This has been done and on Monday
the work OF casting the parts that
are to be assembled into the com
pIeted type-setting machine, Will he
commenced. Mr.. Cade had expected
to have one Of his machines completed
and put in operation this month,
but the work Of completing the draw
ings proved tedious. The delay: how
ever. was to have been anticipated.
The Chronicle has given in previous
issues n sort of a lay description OF
Mr.. Cada's invention. There seems
to be no doubt that it will set type.
Whether Mr.. Cade's fullest expecta-
tions will be realized remains to be
seen, but if the machine will do half
what he claims for it, it will be a
great thing. What gives Us assur-
ance is the fact that no big machine
shop would trife away it's time on an
invention ot questionable value. We
have faith in the Cade machine and
we believe that it is going to give the
Mergenthaler a iolt-uness the Mer-
genthaier people gobble it up-and
against this Mr.. Cade is endeavOring
to fortify himself. 1t is quite within
the range OF probability that the
town of Shelby will, in short time,
become known as the home of one OF
the greatest invent Ors Of the age.

The Seaboard.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte Chronicle.
The triple receivership under which
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Com
pany has been operated has been or
dered dissolved and on November
the company will resume control of
its property. The receivership work
has been well done Warfield, Will
Hams and Duncan have practically
saved the railroad from being wreck
ed-rather they have reconstructed
it from wreckage. They have done
this work, too, in a comparatively
short period of time, and under its
reorganization the Seaboard finds
itself in good operating shape and
in a very good money mkaing
way. The saving of this valuable
railroad property was one of the
best pieces of financing that has been
done in railroad circles for many
years. The Seaboard is one of the
South's best investments and the
manner in which it has been coming
to the front is a matter for gratifica-
ton on the part of all interests in
the development of the South.
