NOT A GOOD DEFENSE.

A circular has been received at this
Office which Is defense OF the big
corporations of the country, the prin-
cipal argument being an attempt tr'
prove that the stockholders numbe:
In the aggregate hundreds OF thous-
nnds, and, hence. the interests of tic
corporations are those Of The people,
and the powerful companies cannot
be injured without infIcting an injury
upon the American people.
There is nothing convincing In this
array of figures. The United States
Steel Corporation may have 100000
stockholders. the Pennsylvania rail
road an equal number; the Hill road
10000, and SO on through the list, but
to add these figures and offor the
total as evidence Of that number OF
stockholders Is misleading. There
1ray be not more than 100000 stock
holders in all the companies. for the
holders OF stock in one company may
be holders of stock In all companies.
This line Of argument In behalf
OF the big companies will fall flat. a
better defense would be proof that
the interests of the corporations AMI
the people of the country have become
SO inter-related by reason Of the en-
ployment the corporations afford, that
unreasonable demands on corporations
must result alike In injury to the big
concerns and the people.

MONEY To ELECTRIFY

within few weeks. It will be com
pleted by June :. If present plans for
pushing the work are carried out This
was the word the reached the local Of
nee OF the company yesterday from
Simon Bamberger. the president of the
company, who Is in the east.
Mr.. Bamberger left for Chicago the
day after Christmas for the purpose of
selling bonds on his system to enable
him To electrify and make other i'm
provements. Yesterday It was an
nounced that the Harris Trust & Say
ings bank of Chicago, New York and
Boston, one Of the largest bond houses
In the United States, had underwrit-
ten the bonds and that the proceeds
would be Immediately available for
Improvement purposes.
The amount Of the bond on the road
Is not given out Originally Mr.. Bam-
berger planned to raise GOO, 900 in this
way. He had all his plans matured
and arrangements made to place the
bonds eighteen months ago, when the
financial slump came and knocked out
this with many other like propositions
Now 1t Is believed that much larger
bond is being sold to provide funds
for much more extensive improve
ments. There need be no surprise II
1t is learned that the amount exceeds
$1000,00O
Information that reached the homo
Office yesterday confirmed the report
OF the placing also that Simon Bam-

VALUE OF YERkES ESTATE
HAS GREATLY DECREASED

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE first autLorj

the Charles T. Yerkes estate has oeen
given out by report of the heirs.
AT the time of the death of Yerkes
in December 1906. he lett property
valued at $12,000.000. The three
years since brought expenses which
drained this large fortune heavily.
The shrinkage during this period is
s2,250,000.
If all the debts were paid Oft the
estate would shrink to about $780,

OLD IDEAS CORRECTED.


The new knowledge OF disease and
disease-breeding germs has corrected
the old ideas of how disease is COM
municated. AS the Denver Post says,
our grandmothers used to tell us that
the dyestuffs In stockings were pois-
onous and tnat serious consequences,
such as blood poison might result
from such source.
Doubtless many of the pigments and
chemicals used in making such dyes
would be poisonous II swallowed, but
that blood poisoning could be caused
by them Is absurd.
Blood poisoning is always produced
by injecting organisms. and almost
without exception the skin must be
broken or abraded in order to make
1t possible for such organisms to gain
entrance to the body and cause trouble.
The unbroken skin. WITH its protect
ing coat of scarfskin (the epidermls or
cuticle). Is impervlous to nearly all of
the injecting organisms. For example.
the virus with which vaccination Is
done may be smeared over the sur
face of the unbroken scarfskin with
impunity, but let this protecting coat
Of mail be scraped Oft or scarifled, and
the virus then applied, and il the in
dividual Is susceptible he will soon
develop the Characteristic local and
general manifestations Of vaccinia
which make him resistant to the dis
ease smallpox.
II other specific organisms are 80
introduced they may soon cause the
manifestations of the particular dis
ease from which they had their origin,
and so serious disease and death may
supervene.
Figs do not grow on tnistles, nor do
any OF these specific diseases origl-
nate except from like parent body.
Scarlet fever, d!phtheria. pneumonia,
influenza. tuberculosis. syphilis, cry
sipelas, typhoid fever, blood poisoning.
etc. always grow and spread through
bacteria which have developed from
like growtns in another organic body.
The bacteria which produce infec-
tions and blood poisoning find their
way into our bodies most often
through accidental breaks or punctures
in the scarfskin, such as cuts or hang
nails upon the hands, or chapped. rub
bed or cut places upon the feet.
Shoes and stockings conf1ne the heat
and moisture Of the foot In such way
as to produce an almost ideal incuba-
tor for such organisms, and 1t is fact
that the shoes we wear every day har-
Dor and propagate millions of them.
We are made safe from this not bed OF
infectious bacteria only because Of the
unbroken cuticle which Is 30 resistant
to them.
Cuts and abrasions on the feet
should be treated with especial care
and every precaution should be used
TO cleanse them perfectly and keep
them from contact with soiled socks,
or shoes which reek with germs of n
dangerous kind
Clean, sterile. protecting dressings
on such cleansed wounds will save
many serious. even fatal. infections,
and the grandmothers' myth Of the
poisonous dyestuffs in stockings will
be relegated to the realm of romance.

OF progress as an obstructionist. Mr..
Cannons attribution Of selfish mo-
tiyes to newspapers in relation to the
duty on wood pulp is nonsense. and
II 1t were true would affect not at all
the force of the argument made
against the speaker. To complete
his apology Uncle Joe should insist
that the whole Methodist church has
selfish interest in wood pulp. That
church denounced him vigorously
during the campaign.

CITY
REMARKABLE WINTER TEMPER.
AZURE EXPERIENCED HERE,
Forty Degrees Above Zero In oaden
Until Yesterday-Northwest
Visited by Billiards

During the past week. up to Sat
urday at a2 o'clock, Ogden weather
maintained an even temperature at 40
degrees above zero, an exceedingly
high temperature. At that hour the
mercury began to fall and continued
In the downward course until at
o'clock this morning it registered Is
degrees above the zero mark. Be.
cause of the rather sudden change
from the high to the low temperature
the moderately cold weather of last
night was much more noticeable than
1t would have been had 1t not been
preceded by nigh temperature.
The remarkably warm winter
weather of the time indicated was
damaging in some respects. 1t inter.
fered materially with the gathering
OF Ice and caused such an overflow in
the Ogden river that the farmers In
some localities were forced to get our
with their teams and throw up dykes
for the protection of their preuises
against the flood. The snow thaUhad
fallen before the thaw came on was
melted and the water fairly soaked
the ground all over town. leaving the
streets veritable seas of mud, which.
the doctors state. had a tendency TO
impair the health OF the people and
bring into active being certain dis
ease germs.
According to dispatches from sec.
tions OF country both north and south
OF Ogden during the week, extremely
cold weather prevailed Travellers
coming down from Montana and other
cold regions were much surprised to
find tne Ogden weather almost as
that experienced in the springtime. It
appears that the cold wave missed
this region altogether. Last night,
however. was cold. clear night, the
indications being that the city will
no doubt experience a cold spell.
The thermometer In front of Brown.
Ing Brothers played an uncommon
prank yesterday morning about 8
o'clock. While the mercury was
steadily going down. having reached
the 2S degree mark, 1t suddenly
scared upward to 10 degrees. There
was apparently no change In the
weather and just what caused the
mercury to rise so abruptly at that
time Is sort of mystery. 1t soon
came back. however, and continued
on Its downward way.

CUTTING SCRAPE
AT HAWTHORNE

Word comes from Hawthorne that
Sunday morning, shortly after mid
night, an Indian rushed into Mil
lers hotel and stated that a brother
redskin had committed murder at
the Indian camp a few hundred
yards above town. Several citizens
accompanied the informer to the
tepe tent and found "Tootsey,"
well known Piute buck with several
deep cuts on the top of his head,
from which blood was profusely
flowing.
When asked how the trouble
started, Sc said, "Bodie Smith" had
struck him with an ak. After in
quiring into the matter the follow
ing facts were summed up. Several
of the redskin tribe had won prizes
in the different contests that were
pulled off the day before and it is
probable that in some way whisky
was secured After indulging in the
fire water to an over extent, one of
the bucks sent an empty bottle flying
at the others head. who returned it
with greater force and accompanied
with string of swear lingo that
would not look nice in print. AT
this stage of the excitement Smith
espied an axe and with wide sweep
brought it into play on the top OF
the feet-footed brothers head. II
was then that the messenger brought
the news of the affair to the hotel

feeble; but the period of prepara-
ton was past. The mighty forces
that were to urge on the stupendous
movement of mankind in human
history had alreay received their di-
rection. The time was ripe for the
real conflict to begin, and it had
its momentuous beginning when the
chief of the Mohawks fell before the
arquebus of Champlain at Ticoner-
oga.
The conditions which limited the
powers and directed the purposes of
the various countries of Europe in
the early years of the seventeenth
century made it inevitable that the
struggle for Aemrican control should
ultimately become single combat
between France and Great Britain"
continued Senator Root To illus
trate this opinion, he related the
conditions which existed in the var
! ious European countries at that day
"Cf all the peoples of Europe"
he said. only the French and the
English possessed the power, the
energy, the adventurous courage,
the opportunity and the occasion for
expansion across the Atlantic. The
field and the prize were for them

the two reigning monarchs of those
countries at that day, Henry w, of
France, and King James of England.
From these two countries, each
possessed of great powers, each en-
dowed with noble qualities, proceed
ed the colonists who were to dis
pute for the possession of America, y
said the senator from New York. He
recalled in detail the conditions
which existed in France and Eng
land for centuries prior to the dis
covery of Lake Champlain and OF
the influence which these conditions
had upon the great struggle between
France and England for supremacy
in the new world. 1.-The world owes
many debts to France" added Sena
tor Root, mot the least of these is
the inspiration the men of every
race can find in the noble example:
of such explorers as Niccolet ant

airy of France; honor to the strong

England; and honor also to the saw
