THE INSANE ASYLUM.

Without intending to reflect on the
management Of the State asylum, we
approvilgly reproduce the following
from the Salt Lake Tribune:
With respect to the pitiful letter
written to the legislature by Freder-
lex Blake, who claims 10 have been
held In confinement for twenty years
in the State insane asylum, we are
for from assuming that his dreadful
charges are true. On the contrary,
the presumption must be that they are
grossly exaggerated. and in most, II
not all respects the creation OF his de-
mented fancy. At the same time. we
believe that the public of this state
would be better satisfied II the legls~
lature would provide for quiet in
yestigation Of the asylum, both past
and present. and insure that the ac-
tual facts In the case should be made
public.
Necessarily, in such an institution
as that, the physician Immediately IN
charge must be practically an abso-
lutte dictator. particularly In case or
emergency. 1t is always a question in
such cases whether the natural char
acterlstics of the superintendent are
such as to prevent abuse, or whether
the superintendent temper is hasty,
rash. and disposed to a harsh arbl-
trariness. We do not allege anything
of this kind against any superinten-
dent of the asylum AT the same time.
the charges made by Mr.. Blake are
such as to cause disquiet to the pub
lie mind in this state; and they right
! ly do SO. because the state Is jealous
OF It's good name and fame, and or the
| proper management OF its public In
stitutions. We suggest. therefore, In
order that no taint of suspicion may
rest anywhere that the Legislature
| provide for such quiet and thorough
examination as Will entirely clear the
management OF the asylum from such
shocking charges as are made by Mr.
Blake.
Tho insane asylum is one institu
tion which cannot be too closely inves
tigated. The insane are difficult tc
' control. Their antics and rebellion!

A CONVENTION CITY.

This paper is In receipt of an invi-
Sation to attend the annual conven-
ton Of THE State Horticultural So
ciety,' in Salt Lake City. This is the
fifth OF sixth invitation to attend a
convention In Salt Lake City, received
within the last six weeks. Only lately
there has been commercial clubs con-
vention and a good roads convention.
There is something more back of
these conventions than appears on the
surface. At each convention Salt
Lake City expects to gather in the sur
plus wealth of the state. Fisher Har-
ris lost his voice shouting for Salt
Lake as a convention city and now he
lies awake nights planning for others
who are doing the shouting. There is
a well organized movement In the
capital to draw the crowds to Zion
that the people from the country may
do their marketing and spending In
that city. and Ogden VIII be placed at
great disadvantage if this city allows
this continual drain to go on without
making one effort TO Offset Salt Lakes
special temptations coupled with re-
duced railroad rates.
Salt Lake City does not pretend to
entertain at these conventions. The
city simply invites those at distance
to meet there on a certain date. offer
ing reduced railroad rates, and when
the strangers are gathered within its
gates, the places of amusement and
the business houses proceed to so
through the pockets OF the visitors.
with a courteous assurance that In eli
mate and scenery Salt Lake furnishes
compensating benefits equal to what,
ever of wealth is dropped.
1t is about time for ogden to become
a convention city. These business
tricks should be acquired by our busi-
ness men. If they are to keep up with
their competitors.

FoRrrFYINe AGAINST JAPAN.

The general staff of the army eyi-
IDENTIFY is looking forward to the time
when Japan will attempt to aggres-
slyely attack the west coast OF the
United States. In a report transmit
ted to the President BY Secretary
Wright, in speaking of "the great po-
tential strength as an enemy which
certain Oriental power has recently
acquired" and the ease of conquest
by that same power OF the southern
part of California, the general stan
says:
"An Oriental navy could within afew
months after declaration of war, land
on our Pacific Coast an expedition OF
an estimated maximum Of 100000
men and such force could be aug
mented by the end of two months more
to a total of possibly 100000"
"The ease with which San Pedro
harbor. nnfortified, and through 1t the
entire Los Angeles country, could be
seized is apparent" says the report.
From defensive point of view, the
report points out. the Pacific coast
country is divided naturally into
three grand divisions. While complete
each In Itself for defensive purposes,
they are so related to one another as
TO readily permit the progressive oc-
cupation by an enemy, provided he
acts quickly. At the same time the
board points out the ease of retaining
possession and the conclusion Is reach
ed that "sea, mountain and desert
combine to make the position of the
invader. once he has taken possession
of the Los Angeles country In force,
we'll nigh impregnable.'
There is no doubt that the western
coast of the United States could be
invaded by a Japanese force. At pres
ent the Hawaiian islands are not for
titled SO as to resist an attack from
the powerful guns of Togo's navy, and
those islands might be converted into
a naval base for the Orientals. From
there to southern California would be
but short voyage.
Once the Japanese obtained a foot
hold, they could overrun the greater
part OF California They could obtain
possession of all the larger cities Of
southern California and exact tribute
from rich and prosperous people.
The belief generally prevails that In
case of war the Japanese now In the
western part of the United States
could block every railroad and make
impossible the quick dispatch OF re-
Inducements to the Pacific coast forts.
BY blowing up half dozen bridges
and obstructing as many tunnels, the
entire railroad system would be Grip
pied. We're bridges destroyed and
tunnels blocked, the troops could be
transferred; so could the big guns and
other heavy ordnance. but the time
lost would allow the invaders to en-
trench so strongly as to require the
heavy sacrifice of the best blood of
this country to dlslodge them. Eventu-
ally the invaders would be driven out,
but the cost to California and the ma
ton would be- billion dollars and
the proud people of the Pacific coast
would endure period of humiliating
subjection.

At the end of the last fiscal year.
when business was heavier than at
any other time during the year. the
1872 national forests were cared ior
by an executive and protective force
of 29 inspectors, 9S forest supervisors,
61 deputy supervisors, S3 forest assist
ants, planting assistants, 941 rang
ers. 521 forest guards and So clerks.
The average area to each officer
theoretically available for patrol duty
was 1865 acres. But more than
three-fourths of the time of these for
est officers Is now required by the
fast.growing volume of National for
est business, so that In point of fact
the force on duty at the close of the
year provided about one patrol officer
to each 100000 acres OF forest. This
is considered inadequate for protec-
ton Of the forests. Until provision
Is made for a large increase of force
1t is necessary. either to curtail the
business arising from use of the for
ests or to neglect the proper safe
against fire.
Experimental broadcast sowings
were made during the year In q for
ests. In the states Of Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington, Oregon. Wyoming,
Colorado. Utah, and New Mexico. The
total area was 131 acres. of which AZ
were In the Black Hills national for

About 100000 trees were planted
last year on forests in the states OF
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona. Utah, Idaho, and Cal
ifornia. There are now growing at
the planting stations over 100000
trees which will be ready for plant
ing In 1909. Sufficient seed was sown
in the spring of 1908 to produce 4,600.'
900 seedlings.
Besides administering the national
forests, the forest service renders, on
request, expert advice and assistance
to other parts of the executive gov
ernment regarding the practice Of for"
estry. Work of this kind was car
ried on several military and Indian
reservations in various parts OF the
country Cooperative state forest
studies were carried on with Kentuc-
Ky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and
Illinois.
The forest service conducts investi-
cations OF forest products along the
two lines of wood preservation and
wood Utilization. Some of these in
yestigations aim primarily to promote
better use of national forest timbers;
others seek results either Of general
application or contributing to the best
use OF the forests of some special
region.

many Hammond people will be inter-
ested. The wedding was that of Miss
Martha Swiatkowski and J. S~terzyzew-
ski, both very prominent in Polish So
ciety circles. The ceremony occurred in
st. Andrews Catholic church at 8
o'clock, the Rev. Father Novakow-
ski officiating. The usual pretty and
impressive ring ceremony of the church
was read. The bride was very hand
somely gowned in white n wore a
long white tulle veil. caught to her
hair with a wreath of flowers. She car
ried an arm boquet of brides roses. The
bridal couple were attended by the fol-

brides parents in West Hammond where
a large number OF friends were enter

ZOE TINKER COMING.

Joe mixer and his company of Thes-
SLAMS, who are soon to break into the
limelight with a genuine baseball melo-
drama, have become night-owls-invol-
untarily-and are now rehearsing the
play at midnight, or, to be exact, from
1870 to 1870, at the Peoples theater,
Chicago. where the rehearsals are go
ing on and to claim the stage owing
to the forthcoming production of the
new play. and thus Tinker and his
heroic band were driven forth. AS re-
hearsals were essential, they engaged
the house for every night. and nave

their homes. Tomorrow, the company
takes the road, and gives the first rem
dition of "A Home Run" at Racine,
Wis, while the opening production will
be at the Academy Of Music, Chicago,
Feb. IA.
The ~rehearsals, according to Tinker,
are fully as stirring as most complete
plays. Before the first drill was over.
it was found imperative that the regu-
lation baseball spikes should be dis
carded. Tinker when making a fiery
gesture and stamping his foot in de-
fance of the villain, managed to at
tach himself to the stage, and rehear-
sal had to be suspended till a stage
