 Mir Fisher is still a young man. having graduated from the university of Southern California in 1900. He has been in charge of the Riverside church for the last two years. and previous to that was for four years in Los Angeles. He successfully ac- complished the merging of two of the city churches now known as the Gen. tral-St. James. and was for four years in charge of the work in that pastorate There were many diff culties encountered in that undertak- ing and he feels that the final achieve ment is one of the things that may be said to his credit. Incidentally. he has done considerable lecture work. and in the past his custom has been to frequently give what he calls lecture sermons on Sunday evenings. as being of more general interest where he has heretofore labored, than the formal sermons

OUR RICHEST WOMEN.

The bequest of practically his whole estate to his wife made in the will of F.. H. Hartman has aroused anew the old controversy as to who is the richest woman in America. says the New Haven Union. This question is about as interesting and as profit able as the mootec question of who discovered the pole first. or was it revision downward. or who hit Billy Patterson or how old Is Ann? IL matters very little whether Mrs Har- riman is now richer than Hetty Green or Mrs. Sage. It matters a great deal. however, that a few women own and control so large a share of tthe wealth of the republic.
 Below is a partial list of the women who are supposed to be the richest of their sex in America:
 Mrs. Cornelius Vandervilt. ST. re- ceived s2.0o0.0O0 and annuity of s200.- 900 year from husbands estate.

The Country Cousin

Glenn H. Curtiss. discussing aviation with a New York reporter. said. with smiling impatience:
 Really. though. your questions show a remarkable ignorance of the princi pies of flight If you are going to re- port aeronautical things. why don't you read up aeronautics? Your ques- tions. as 1t Is, denote an ignorance equal to the westerner's.
 This westerner. on a visit to his rich Pittsburg cousin. came down to breakfast every morning with the same genial question:
 How is things?.
 One morning the rich cousin, his nerves being a little on edge. scowled a black scowel at this question. and said:
 Why the dickens do you always say How Is things" Jethro?'
 "Jethro looked surprised and hurt.
 Because he answered, I want to know how things is, that's why!' '"- Washington Star

THE OLDEST LAND IN THE
 WORLD.

Stretching across Canada, north of the St Lawrence. and ending in the regions about the sources of the Mis- called the Laurentian highlands. These hills are really mountains that are al- most worn out, for. says Charles D. Stewart in the September Atlantic they are the oldest land in America. and. according to Agassiz. the oldest in the world In the days when there was nothing but water cn the face of the globe these mountains came up. long island Of primitive rock with universal ocean chafing against its shores. None of the other continents had put in their appearance at the time America vas thus looking up. The United States began to come tn light by the gradual uplifting of this land to the north and the appearance of the tops of the Alleghenies. which were the next in order Later the Rockies started up. The United States grew southwarf from Wisconsin and west ward from the Blue Ridge. An early view of the country would have shown q large island which is now Northern Wisconsin and a long thin tongue of this primitive rock stretching down from Canada into Minnesota, and these two growing states looking out nings of mountain ranges east and west They were waiting for the rest Of the United States to appear.

the political campaign of 1924 was nm ished. r-.
 His friends rallied to his aid and asked that Edwards be fetched back. The house accordingly sent the ser geant at arms after the minister and he was overtaken near New Orleans. He came back l56o miles to Washing ton in the custody of the sergeant at arms.
 Crawford meanwhile had got to- gether a mass of evidence on his side and Edwards completely failed fo make good his charges. so that a com mittee. of which Daniel Webster and John Randolph were members. unani- mously reported in vindication of the accused secretary.
 Although Edwards had had long. honorable and successful public career as a judge In Kentucky and as territorial governor of Illinois and then as senator. this affair was his ruin In national politics. It was known that Crawford had fought two duels and killed his man in one of them and maybe this fact was taken into account by the public in esti- mating the quality of, Edwards's per formance in making an attack upon a physically disabled man and hasten ing to a distant land just when his share in the matter should become known.
 At any rate. such storm of con- tempt broke upon him that he resigned his appointment to Mexico and re- turned to Illinois. He was then under 50, but he took no further part in na- tional politics. though he had a sort of vindication at home by his election as governor of Illinois. He died less than ten years after this affair. Crawford. the invalid. outlived him by about a year.

A CASE LIKE CRANES
Ninian Edwards Started as Minister
 for Mexico but Never Got There.

The experience of Charles R. Crane with the mission to China recalls the case of the almost forgotten Ninian Edwards. who started out as United States minister to Mexico but never reached the capital of the sister re- public.
 Edwards had been United States senator from Illinois. and monroe near the close of his second term gave him the Mexican mission. The country was then nearing the end of the. so- called era of good feeling and Edwards had been contributing his share to the political discord of that curious time by writing letters signed "A. B. in a Washington newspaper published in the interest of Calhoun. These letters accused William H. Crawford. secre- tary of the treasury. of corrupt prac- tice in office, and they were intended to kill off Crawford as a candidate for president. Calhoun himself was the subject of similar attacks instigated them.
 Edwards arranged that after he had senator from Illinois. and Monroe near "A. B. letters should be sent to the house of representatives as the basis of impeachment proceedings against Crawford. and it was then that the authorship of the letters became known. In transmitting them to the speaker of the house. Edwards avowed himself their author and added to the charges already made public others that were sufficient as ground for inn peachment.
 Crawford at the time lay i'll at home, having been attacked with paralysis about four months earlier, in September. 1923. and left in such condition that he transacted much of his business as secretary of the treas ury by proxy. The attack in the house had been made by Edwards at such a time as made it difficult for Crawford to prepare a defence before

HE CLAIMED POWER
 OVER THE WITCHES
When Occasion Required He Simulated
 Witches.

Now that Francisco Estrella, the fake doctor. is in jail. having been held to the grand jury for practicing medi- cine without a license, great deal of new testimony against him is coming out rom poor Mexicans who had been was at large. He had represented to them that he had occult powers and it lay with him whether they should be harrassed by witches or not.
 curious story was told yesterday by little weazened old woman who makes a bare living by washing. In an evil hour she believed that she was sick and called upon Estrella. He confirmed her suspicion as to her fail- ing health and he told her. beside, that she was bewitched. The thing for her to do would be to get together as much money as she could and pay it to him. He had authority over the witches.
 One night, after she had not been able for a long time to raise any mon ey for the doctor, she felt her bed moving Then it bumped up in the middle and she was almost thrown out. She sDrang out and ran out of doors screaming. Estrella, who had conceal cd himself beneath the bed and created the upheaval, emerged by a rear door and hurrying around to the front of the house met the terrified old woman who cried that the witches were after her.
 Estrella replied that he had rather expected such visitation since he had not received any money for some time. But" said he. "Tll see that they do not bother you any more tonight but tomorrow you must go to work and work hard so as to get more money. I'm powerless to do anything with the witches unless I'm paid for it" Then he called for a knife. The old woman got him a huge butcher knife with which he slashed cross on the door
 Now" said he. you're safe for to- night. Go to bed and get some sleep so that you can earn money"

THE POWER oF sNA,ls

One day. by way of experiment. I harnessed two common garden snails to toy gun-carriage to see if they could pull it along. Although the gum carriage was heavy leaden one. the snails pulled 1t so easily that loaded the body Of the carriage with small shot. The snails. however, were more than equal to the task. Anxious to test their powers still further. I at tached a small common. made of lead and brass. behind the gun-carriage. but the snails and their additional load moved off once again. Out of curiosity l decided to weigh the can non, gun-carriage and shot. and to my great surprise found the total weight to be almost one pound I venture tn think this a very good load for two snails to manage.-From Strand Magazine.

[ r ANSIT
SALE
REPORTS CONTINUE TO cIRCU
LATE THAT DEAL Is ON.
Option for 100000 Is to Be Taken
UP by EaetcTn and Canad-
ian Capita

The Tribune SAYS:
That the Ogden Rapid Transit COM
rany will shortly change hands was
announced Friday evening. Despite
the fact that Ii is denied by the cffi'
cialS of the company at the Junction
City, including Judge II H. Rolapp,
business associate OF the principal
owner. David Eccles. The Tribune's
Information came from an authorita-
tive source Friday evening and was
to the ceot that dffeal is now un
der way. which, if consummated-
and there appears to be no reason
why it should not be-the control of
the street railway system OF Ogden
will pass from the hands OF David
EccleS
An option for 100000 has been
obtained on the road, and while east
ern and Canadian capital is involved
in the deal, the proposition thus far
has been financed practically by Salt
Lake people.
IL was learned Friday evening that
A. G.. Horn. an attorney of Ogden,
who several weeks ago went east with
w p. Mowbray, the auditor of the
Ogden Rapid Transit company. Is con-
nected with the deal. although it was
denied from the Junction City end
that their trip had anything whatever
TO do with the sale of the system.
Despite this, however the rumor has
been persistent in ogden that their
trip was solely for the purpose of ne
gotlatinS the sale OF the road
The two men, it was learned last
night. are at present in Montreal,
Canada. and the announcement thai
Canadian capital is included in the
deal would apparently confirm the Og
den rumors
Name to Be Changed
Upon the contamination of the deal,
the name of the system will be
changed. and it was announced last
evening that it will simply form the
nucleus of one of the best interurban
systems In the entire country.
When David Eccles was granted a
franchise by the Logan City council
about two months ago to build a
street railway system at Logan. it
was announced that 1t would event
Ually be extended 10 ogden. and from

there south probably as far as Provo.
While il could not be learned whetn-
er or not the gentlemen who are
negotiating for the purchase OF the
Ogden system also want the Logan
railway. which is now under course
OF construction. from the announce
ment that the Oglen road will sim
ply form n nucleus for a large inter
urban system north and south, it
would appear that the two projects
are identical.
II was also announced at the time
that David Eccles commenced work
on the Logan street railway system
that he later intended to extend it 10
Brigham City and other points in the
northern part of the state. All these
things taken into consideration force
the conclusion that the proposed sys-
tenn OF David Eccles Is practically the
same as that which IS proposed by
the gentlemen who are negotiating for
the purchase OF Mr Eccles's strong
hold. the Ogden Rapid Transit COM
pany.
