FIRE DESTROYS
HOWELL BARN

A barn and stables owned by Reese

of Twenty-fourth street and Washing

soon had three streams OF water and
the chemical engine turned on the
flames The fire started In a small
annex to the barn In which s. H.
Browne had stored several tons OF hay
and in which he kept valuable horse
The horse and top surrey were
saved from the building. The big
barn adjoining was filled with hay and
several horses. All OF the animals
were saved, but one was so badly
burned that It will probably have to
be killed
Mr. Howell estimates his loss az
$4,000, which Is partially covered by
insurance. The origin OF the fire.
which started ia the small stable used
by Mr.. Browne, is not known. Mr,
Browne said that he had been in the
barn earlier in the evening but had
eXtinguished his lantern when he left
for his home The flames from the
burning barn were communicated TO a
brick dwelling house just north of the
burning building, but little damage re-
suited before a stream Of water was
turned on the flames.

RENO. NEVADA, Is NOW
NOTORIOUS.

Reno. Nevada, has displaced the d.
yorce towns OF South Dakota as re-
sort for those who have wearled OF
the matrimonial yoke and desire to
cast It off. One OF the eastern maga-
zines estimates that the cost of each
divorce to the colony In Reno has
been 5000 and there havo been $50
divorces.
Speaking of divorce in general, un-
der the head of Reno, the Refuge OF
Restless Hearts" Munsey's Magazine
says:
practically million divorces have
been granted in the United States with
in the past twenty years. The exact
number for the years from 1887 10
1906. inclusive, is 9i5.625, as against
1882 044 marriages. AS far as new
marriages are concerned. therefore,
there has been nearly one divorce for
every thirteen wedding ceremonies.
And out of this appalling total. 206,22
divorces, or not quite one in four. have
been issued on grounds of cruelty
Only one cause has been more produc-
tive-desertion; and the total of de-
crees based upon that charge Is 367,-
SOP. This ratio has held good in Ne
yada. and undoubtedly holds there
substantially today"
After describing many incidents In
Reno divorce court history, he asks:
rs there much of this seeking of
divorce In order to marry some one
else?"
1T is probably the explanation of
seven applications out of every ten
filed in Reno. AS some men. when
their wives are away, mark on their
desk calendars the number of days
they have to wait, and count every
day as one day nearer 10 the reunion,
so some of these set down the hun
dred and eighty-two days required to
obtain the right 10 sue and the four
teen days beyond that required for
the trial OF the cause. Every day Is
a day nearer to freedom-and to
new love-

Mrs. Jacobs is the mother Of Miss

DOCTORS IN STATE CONVENTION.

The Utah State Medical Association
Is In session In ogden, with DR., Mac
Carly of Rochester MINI. and Dr.
Morton of San Francisco as guests
These meetings OF the medical men arc
growing in importance. from a news
paper point OF view, with the letting
down of the ethical bars which at one
time prevented the doctors from TAX
Ing the public into their confidence
through the newspapers. Today the
brightest minds are laboring TO edu.
cate the people 10 an understanding of
the progress being made in the prac-
tlce of their profession and their
labors in that direction will do much
to retain the the faith which has been
heretofore so implicitly reposed; and.
after all, faith is big element OF
success in the practice of medicine.
There has been Of late years great
field opened In therapeutics in which
serums are doing what medicine"
could not do. The germ theory, which
is not a very old theory. has COM
pletely revoluuonized the practice OF
medicine. and It is well that the medi-
cal men are disposed to keep the pub
lie Informed on the discoveries which
are being made in the conquest of dis
ease germs.
Surgery too has made wonderful
advances. Of which too much cannot
be said in praise.
There was time when doctors were
instructed TO avoid newspapers as

activities. but today the newspaper is
recognized as proper medium
through which to correct many or.
roneous ideas as TO the practice of

BARBECUE ON
A NEV ADA
RANCH
FARMERS FOR MILES AROUND
WILL HAVE A JOLllFlCATlON
Col. Keegsn Of Tecoma Predicts Great
Future for an Empire Purchased
by Ogden Men.

For a number of years past 1t has
been customary for the owners OF the
old Sparks-Tinnan ranch OF SO much
fame In Nevada, to hold sumptuous
barbecues at stated intervals and call
the people for many miles around
together at the feast and forget the
cares of life.
Col. John Keegan Of Tecoma. New,
is an Ogden visitor for few days, and
he says that the parties now owning
the ranch are going to keep up the
barbecue custom heretofore establish
ed. Within the last Is months the
ranch has passed into the hands OF the
Vineyard Land e. Cattle company,
which is composed of ogden men. The
colonel states that tho manager of this
company, Adam Patterson, associated
with ]. C. Lee and John Tinnan. is
arranging to hold the barbecue about
the middle OF October and that IL
promises to be the greatest barbecue
ever held in the western country.
THE function will be pulled off at
the Twelve-Mile ranch, sometimes
known as the Thousand Springs ald
every body for miles and miles around
will be invited and expected TO attend.
In this feast there Will be dished out
four buffalo. a number OF bear and all
the cattle, hogs, sheep and other live
stock that will be needed. It Will
be great event for the weatern
country, Nevada in particular.
This Vineyard Land & Cattle COM
pany has an empire in that old Sparks
Tinnan ranch and it Is destined some
day to become a tblckly populated
and prosperous section OF country.
The soil over most OF the tract Is
very rich, and. in my judgment. there
is plenty OF water to be had for irrl-
cation purposes. Why. you dig hole
In the ground three feet deep and
water will run out of It. The coun-
try now Is heavily stocked with sheep
and cattle. This year there were over
5000 calves branded on that range.
Il want to tell you something about
what we think of Ogden out at Teco-
ma. This city Is our mainstay and
dependence in the matter OF CONNER
clal intercourse. We get better prices
here in Ogden than VIC do IN Salt
Lake and a majority of the Tecoma
people are taking advantage OF It by
purchasing their goods here. Og-
den is all right and It is considered
by us as the most advantageous mar
keting point"
Mr.. Keegan, in speaking of the
mining interests OF Tecoma and near
by section of country, stated that
everything was In good condition and
that good results are being obtained
from the workings in the different
properties. The colonel Is a mining
engineer of considerable prominence.
He will remain in ogden number OF
days visiting with friends.

NO MODERN HOUSES FOR RENT
IN OGDEN.

The Peery apartment houses will
provide room for twelve families. but
the demand for modern houses Is so
far from being met that fifty families
have been applicants and the apart
ments have been rented two months
before they will be finished.
A family from Denver has been over
the entire city. searching for modern
house. without regard to price. and
the search has resulted In failure.
There are millions Of dollars in our
banks with this condition prevailing.
which prompts the question: Why not
build houses with this surplus money?
There is no lack of confidence In
Ogden. or that We have proof In tho
purchases Of property made by local
people since the boom days Of the
early nineties, There was a time
when half the property of Ogden was
owned by outsiders. For the past flf-
teen years, Ogden people have been
buying back this property, until now
not 5 per cent of the homes and bust
ness houses are owned by non-resi-
dents. That Is ample evidence Of an
abiding faith in the future OF this
city The fault seems to be that our
people have been slow to realize that
the city is underbullt and that therc
Is an inslstent demand for moro
houses-modern houses.
AS to Ogden's solid foundation.
there is no question, The wealthy men
OF this section, having bought back
property once sold 10 non-residents
and having stopped the interest and
rent drain which flowed 10 the East,
still have big surplus at their COM
mnnd. as the bank statements attest.
and they must now re-lnvest, and moth
ing offers better returns or safer In.

erty. and. II the strangers arc offered
