IS THREATENED
Fire Started In Basement of RyerSOn
Bros, Store.
Loss Covered BY Insurance
Damage TO Stock of Goods by Fire and
Smoke Estimated at $4,000, and
Building Damaged About $50.

Building Damaged About $50
Fire started Monday i'll the
basement of the Ryerson Bros.
store in the Dierks Block on the
south side of the square. 7 he
origin Of the fire is unknown.
One of the clerks discovered it
burning a ba1ua crate about 4
p. III. The fire alarm was put
III and the fire department was
on hand and throwing water into
the basement Of the building
before the fire got good start.
1t was eXtinguished in the base
ment in a short time and it was
found to be burning in the shirt
department near the desk i'll the
middle of the room up stairs.
This had not gained much head
way and was put out i'll short
order.
The damage to the building
through the floor is estimated at
$50. Some of the shirts and
miscellaneous paper in the
cabinet Of the cashiers desk were
burned. Fortunately all of the
valuable papers and money we're
taken out and the gasoline tank
removed after the fire started.
he damage 10 the stock of
goods was due mostly TO the
dense smoke which filled the
room. The store has been closed
since the fire for invoicing in
order TO settle the damage with
the insurance adjusters which
are expected this week. The
damage to the stock is estimated
10 be about $5O00.00.
The small amount Of damage
done to the building IS due very
largely to the fact that the fire
made slow progress in the damp
cellar and was discovered before
it had been burning long.

TOO late for last wceho
Last Friday morning at O'4O
O'Clock George and I started on
our trip to Hartford, Conn. The
weather was cool and pleasant
and all nature looked refreshed
after its midnight bath. We
thoroughly enjoyed looking at
the country, with its extensive
tracts OF Woodland, its fields Of
waving grain, its neat and
4hrifty looking farm houses and
immense bank barns, its small,
lazi'y flowing streams and tnrbn-
lent rivers; the beautiful eXten.

homes or suburban residences OF
the rich, through villages, towns
and cities, to "thc city OF

''beg pardon madame, but this

and without even a thank you,

when George said he thought
the other one was 4 smoker.
Why it was so prettily uphol-
stored in green and looked so
nice ard comfortable, it was
\ lfard for ME to believe it was for
"4tc exclusive use Of smokers.

apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in

DID THEY DO ANY gETTERg

1t is not fattering to know that more
than seventy-ive thousand American
citizens viii this year move over the line
into Canada, and make their homes
there. Yet that is just the cold fact that
we of the United States will have to
face, for il is true.
More than fifty-eight thousand of
them moved over there last year, and
it is the official estimate of the Cana
dian officials that those newcomers
brought more than fifty million good
American dollars into the Dominion.
They are precisely the sort of people
the republic doesn't want to lose. They
are good men and women. with prom
Using families. They are home makers.
They have stock and ability. They
carry their money with them. They
add themselves to the communities
where they settle, and their citizenship
is assured. They may love the Stars
and Stripes, but they will be good and
valuable additions TO the population of
the country where they plant them
selves.
And yet it is doubtful! if those fifty
thousand of last year did better in
Canada than they could have done here
in the United States. Must of them
went over from Montana, Oregon and
the Dakotas. They didn't ind what
there is for them i'm Utah before they
decided to expatriate themselves.
There is no use arguing against in
evitables. But it would be folly for
the people of the United States to
close eyes to the importance Of so great
loss 1t would be wisdom for our
people to show to the world how much
better is a home in Utah than a home
in Canada-or anywhere else on the
| face of the earth. And we believe the
facts will bear out the representation.
The is one of the things that must
be presented at the Land and Irrigation
exposition at Chicago I'm November.
Utah must be prepared to prove that
il viii be good to live here. Utah must
do her share i'm stopping the removal
of American citizens beyond the Dor
der-both for these states, and for the
good Of the citizens themselves.

HE PREFERRED WALKING.


one day recently Art Henry drove his
newly painted automobile, the Comet, up
to the Mansion house and invited 2. Null

BEN HAYWOOD is DEAD.

Big, kindly, generous, impulsive,
brotherly Ben Haywood is dead. In the
flush of ripe manhood, when he should
have been left for another decade, while
the brain was still capable and The
hands were still strong, he is seized by
a malady which mocks at medicine and
SCOTS at surgery; and the long limbs
straighten i'm death.
There have been few men in the state,
whether they agreed with Ben Hey
wood in all things, who were better
loved than he. Positive, emphatic,
sometimes too forcible, there was still
in every breath he drew the genuine
love of man. He didn't mean to hurt
any one. He did mean to help his fell
lows. And many a one of them knows
these days while the body waits inter
ment, that he has helped-beyond his
thought of mentioning.
He lived his life among these peo-
pie. He knew the west, and gloried
in it. He worked and played and
fought and loved, and kept his friends.
And he met the Grim Reaper just as
he had met every opposition from the
beginning.
He doesn't care for friend or foe
today. But friend and foe stand side
by side, uncovered, in the presence Of
the honorable dead.

LEARNING no WEAR White.

One of the photographers of a van
ished age expressed wonder that women
could appear to be cool while men
were boiling in the summer temper
atures.
Mr.. Frank Vanderlip went straight
from Salt Lake to a famous Long Beach
hotel. and appeared in evening clothes
of white. And the Washington papers
have been a good deal disturbed by
the incident
Mr.. Vanderlip has simply discovered
the secret Of the young woman's cool
warm weather. Black, the conventional
garb which would not have been no.
ticed, has precisely the contrary eff
feet.
All of which proves that, in the pres
ence of the inevitables, even society
makes concessions. Since white is a
more comfortable dress for the suItry
months, men with courage may wear
white. And not even the Washington
newspapers will say them nay.
Yet one is compelled to wonder what
would have been the result if a lesser
man that Mr., Vanderlip had ventured
the innovation. He is a banker of great
power in Washington, and throughout
the nation. He can not be extinguished,
even by society's uksse. And as a re-
suit, the fashion he chooses may be ac-
cepted as the fashion of the world.

LET THEM HAVE THEIR WAY.

It might be just as well for the old
world to accept the new woman She
wants to vote, and from the looks Of
the foreign dispatches. she is going to
do it.
The Earl of Crewe had arranged TO
speak in London, and orders had been
issued for the exclusion of all women
from the meeting. So, in the course
of the day some suffragettes climbed
TO the roof of the building and hid be
hind a chimney, with the clear purpose
of descending into the hall when the
speaking should commence. They were
arrested before the honorable earl be-
gan his discourse, and escorted TO Jail.
over in Copenhagen a wrathful wo-
man forced her way past the guards
of parliament and delivered h arself of
the following, right in the face of the
presiding officer and the members of
her nations ruling body:
Here you sit, you Danish men, hagglng
selfishly in a lust of power over the veal
ard woe of the country. But the women
OF Denmark, / tell you, disOWn YOU and
brand you as a lot of hirelngs belonging
20 no country, who betray the honor of
Denmark"
And a lot more like it, Nothing
could stop her. They shouted ques-
tons, and bawIed accusations at her
But she kept her head, and continued
to tell her audience Just what she and
the country thought of them and their
legislative work.
Now, these are not the Carrie Nation
type of woman. These London suffra-
gettes are good women. They have
homes. and families. They have wealth
enough to be able to pay their fines.
They have d stake in the community.
and share in the nation. And they
believe they should have the right to
vote.
That is all. They look about them,
and see men voting without the ghost
of a good reason; men with no prop
erty, no character, no education-no
stake in the country at all. And they
do not believe there is justice in the
system.
That Danish mother was a mother
indeed. She has grown sons and
daughters, and feels that she has done
something for her government; some
thing of value for Denmark. And she
wasn't afraid to "smite the sledded
Pollock on the ice" or anywhere else.
Considering the fact that genuine
movements can not be stopped, and
that this suffragette movement really
seems to be genuine, it will be the
part of wisdom for the Europeans to
do as Utah has done And give the
ballot to the women.
