TRTCKED HIMSELF.

William J. GaynOr, during the tense days Of
the recent mayoralty contest, said Of thickness
IN the course OF an after-dinner speech:
But the tricky man usually winds UP by be-
ing too tricky-like Jones.
Jones who lives In Fifth avenue, suspected
his English butler Of drinking his wine. So one
night he drugged couple OF bottles OF 81 or s.
Chateau Yquem and left them in the dining
room.
Unfortunately that night Joness wife re-
turned late from the opera. She saw the rare
wine and had It put down in the wine cellar,

Chateau Yquem that Jones had laid iu-
Jones is wondering 20 this day which two
bottles are the drlGsel ones. He has stopped
drinking Chateau Y4uem. In fact ! understand

THERE is NO UNEASlNESS
OVER THE CUTOFF.

Golfers Weekly contains an article
on Great Salt Lake. referring to the
inland sea as The Lake That Came
Back"
Since July &c, 1S47. when Orson
Pratt swan in it, SAYS Golfers, "the
Great Salt Lake has become the prin-
cipal tourist-bathiDg esset of one state
and the center of frequent excursions
from another. Among It's other mys.
terious traits is that Of disappearing In
large part upon occasions.
In 1898 an immense bathing pavil-
lon was built mile out in the water
With bath houses running In crescent
shaped lines toward the shore from
both sides Of the pavilion. In 1900
the lake began to go away. In 1904
bathing conditions were so bad that
the bathing house proprietors had to
turn the horns OF their crescent the
other way about. And then from one
of them they had to run an improv-
ised trolley another mile out TO the
water. In 1906 a general cry went
up that the lake was gone. and like
wise a cry went to Washington for
government relief for the arid west,
A government Official responded with
a trip of inspection In June, 1907,
and for the fourteen days he was In
the Great Basin region IL rained.
Then he shifted MY conclusion is"
he said. that what the arid west
most needs Is a boat and set OF nav
igation laws"
This summer the present genera.
ton of swimmers is completing the
finest season In their memory" SAYS
Golfers. They dance upon the pa.
vilion above six feet OF brine. and the
tiny sallboats that once anchored
away OF near the horizon now tic up
to the pavilion, while the crescent
bath houses has again had Its horns
or at least one Of them-turned toward
the shore. Harrimans celebrated en-.
cheering masterpiece. the Lucln cut.

engineers believed that the drain OF
irrigation had permanently sunk its
level. II Ia not quite endangered yet
by tho return Of tho waters. but an
other seasons rise on top OF the pres
ent remarkable gain may make tho
railroad engineers anxious"
Golfers Weekly is wrong in its con.
clusion on the Ogden-Lucin cutoff. The
engineers we're impressed with the
retreat OF tho lake, but before starting

CHOIR OBTAINED FREE
ADVERTISING.

Ogdenites. returning from the Seat
tie fair, maintain that mountain has
been made out of mole hill in the
alleged intended insult offered to Salt
Lake Tabernacle choir. Those who
were conducting the musical contests
had made rule Of requiring contest
ants TO pay admission. and that rule
was known TO the leaders of the choir
prior to the time when the big con-
test was TO have occurred; In fact,
Prof. Mcclellan. the evening before.
had paid his way in. though he pre-
sided at the organ. The rule was not
applied TO Utah alone, but was en-
forced against any and all contest
ants
This robs the whole affair of It's
melodramatic feature. We are half
inclined TO charge the incident to

In years gone by some of these
sportsmen made their living by vio-

and now, having winked at the law
they have become so case-hardened
that 1t is hard to break them from con-
tinuing so to do. I know from twelve
to fifteen different parties of so-called
reputable sportsmen that had fish

ago. but one of them | know has been

is more fish In the Ogden river and It's
tributaries at the present time than
there has been for many years This
I know 10 be a fact. showing that the
yiolators are being watched closer
than they have been in past years. In
past years there were not many ar
rests made among the fish and game
yiolators. They were mostly boys,
and farmers who were working. and
some fish came down the irigating
ditches into their fields and II they
were not good friends OF the game
warden they were watched and ar
rested and the real violators were not
watched at all. and made a good llv-

that the present warden is doing the
best work and putting in more time

way. Such would seem TO be the case
at this time.
One Of the dealers In Salt Lake said
that the increase In the price Is the re-
suit OF the operation OF the law OF sup.
ply and demand. The Examiner hest
tates TO believe this There Is no reason
why prices should not be lower In
stead of higher. The cost OF feed is
much cheaper than II has been. The
weather has been favorable. There is
a bountiful supply of forage. Indeed
every condition is favorable TO the
produce farmer
Not long ago tho mllkmen who sup
ply Salt Lake raised the price forbid
di1gly high. and they gave as their
excuse for so doing that the regula'
tions calling for cleanliness were be-
Ing enforced. In practically so many
words. they admitted that when they
were selling impure milk. and water
ed and colored fluid for milk, they
could sell much lower. They were
ready to co back 10 those conditions.
They were ready to poison the people
and to feed the babies on distilled ty'
phoid germs. 1t mattered not whit
to them how many lives were sacri
feed. so long as they reaPed the
blood money.
Ogdens people are peculiarly tortu
nate In the matter OF produce prices
The holdup system does not prevail
here The people are willing 10 pay
a fair price for fair measure. and the
dealers ought to be satisfied with max
ing a fair profit It would be an evil
day for Ogden were a combine such as
has salt Lake by the throat TO gain
foothold here The people should be
ever alert that no trust OF dealers In
the necessarIes gain such foothold.

The newspapers in Salt Lake yester

Salt Lakes people are ridden with o
