MISTAKE OF MR.. SPALOIRG
Salt Lake Man Furnishes Amuse-
ment for Citizens of Little
Town of Gunnison.
Especial 10 The HeraIdJ

Gunnison, Utah. FEB AT q meeting
of the promoters and directors of the
Gunnison Valley bank, held in the parlors
of the Gribble hotel Cunning. the Jail
breaker, who had just finished two
nights theatrical engagement in this city,
was brought in by one of the party and
introduced.
Van d. Spaldiug, president of the Spald-
ing Land K Irrigation company, and
prominent business man of salt Lake City
offered to bet 5000 that Cunning would
stay in any box that he nailed up. Gun
ming stated that he mad never made bet
i'm his life, but that Mr.. Spalding might
have the privilege of experimenting at
any regular performance he cared to at
tend. Mr.. Spaiding then offered Cunning
S10o To put on his snow at once. il being
Sunday. permission was obtained of the
city authorities and Mr. Spaiding ex-
tended a general invitation to all citizens
to be present. The opera house was filled
to overlooking.
After Cunning had given his regular
performance. large box was brought in

which was wound with nearly 200 feet of
baling wire and "a perfect network of half
inch rope. The box was then placed in
side d curtained inciosure. and in six min
utes Cunning was free. An inspection OF
the box. wire and rope. showed everything
intact. Mr.. SpalGing is now congra tulat-
ing himself that Cunning is not a betting
man. and the preachers of Guunison are
wondering what became of their usual
Sunday night congregations.

CARY ADVISES OTHERS.

Among the guests os the Illinois So
ciety of New York at its annual dinner
was Judge Gary, chairman of the board
of directors of the steel corporation.
Mr.. Gary was in high good humor with
himself and at peace with all the world
The steel trust, having acquired the
Tennessee Coal & Iron company, the
plant of which is now closed, thereby
sitting competition. everything looked
good to the magnate as the jokes were
cracked and the wine went round. In
the course of the evening. Judge Gary
delivered himself of the following:
1t is a good time for all of US to decide
that at the outset OF a new administra-
ton we will use every effort not only to
conform to the laws, but to recognize our
individual responsibility and to lend our
efforts to the advancement of the inter-
ests OF the public. If. prOfiting by the
past, following the example Of the chief
executive who is about to lay down the
cares and responsibilities of office, keeping
in mind the ideals concerning civic life
that he has unfalteriugly proclaimed. We
shall evidence our disposition to SubOrdi-
nate our private interests TO the public
good, We need have no fear that vested
rights in property or private and pecun-
larry interests in business will be dis
turbed or interfered with by the incOm-
ing administration.
1t would be blasphemy, of course, to
suggest that the reason Judge Gary is
SO well satisfied with the outgoing ad-
ministration is due to the fact that the
steel trust has been operating under
permission of the president of the
United States in direct violation of the
law. 1t is an easy matter for the steel
people with sanctimonious air. to advise
other corporations to conform to the
laws. when the trust itself has a special
permit to violate them. The climax Of
hypocrisy has been reached.

ZINE FOR THE THIRSTY.

GAVE THE FORESTS.

The Detroit Free Press, published in
a state which has been devastated for
the purpose of making a few multi
miIlionaires, is reconciled to the inl-
portation of lumber from the DOmin-
ion of Canada While Michigan is rep
scented at the national capital by men
pledged to retain the duty on lumber
if possible, and while the Wolverine
state is also represented in the lobby
maintained by the lumber barons in
Washington for the purpose of ''infiu-
encing the ways and means commit
tee, which is now at work upon the
tariff schedules, it was little short of
treason for the Detroit paper to print
the following:
Two principles are automatic in this
lumber discussion; Every foot of lumber
brought into the United States from Can
ade saves a foot of American standing
timber And every year that passes gives
that much more chance for gain in TefOT-
estation. We must have about a, eo0,0O0,OCo
feet of lumber. If we can bring some of
that lumber in from Canada, we save to
that extent our own depleted reserves and
give time for our stripped watersheds to
grow the trees that will attract and con-
troll the rainfall. We directly aid two of
the important reforms of the day, refor-
estation and conservation of certain nat
ural resources other than forests.
The points are well taken. Reforesta-
ton and conservation of our resources
are vitality necessary. AS there never
was the slightest excuse for the tariff
on lumber perhaps there is good ground
for hope that it may be removed dur
ing the coming summer.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

The fact that judiciOUs and extern
sive advertising is the real foundation
OF successful business. is recalled to
mind by the recent death of Andrew
Pears, great-grandson of the original
Andrew who l2O years ago founded the
soap business which carried his name
all over the world.
Andrew Pears. the elder, was a
CornishmaR keeping a little shop in
London, who began by making soap in
a small way, but advertising 1t In the
newspapers to an unheard-of extent.
In those days there was no trademark
law, and Pears hit upon the device of
writing his name on the wrapper OF
every piece % his soap. His signature
attested the fact that none other was
genuine. This soon made his name
familiar, but the advertising caused
such demand for the soap that An
drew found IL impossible TO write the
guarantee with his own hand.
Early in the history of the great soap
firm ii was resolved to make adver-
tisements as attractive as possible. and
this principle was developed until the
Arm began to call in the services OF
the most renowned painters. One OF
the greatest successes in this direction

REFORM OF STOCK GAMBLING.

Congress evidently proposes to make

bic, i'm the District of Columbia A
bill prohibiting 'bucketshopping" has
already passed the house and has been
reported by the district committee to
the senate. That the provisions of the
measure are drastic enough to accom-
plish the purpose intended will be read
lily seen. They follow:
''First-The making of or the offer
ing to make any contract respecting the
purchase or sale. either upon credit or
upon margin, of any securities or COM
modities wherein both parties thereto
intend, or such keeper intends, that
such contract shall be or may be ter
minated, closed or settled according
to or upon the basis of the public mar
ket quotations of prices made on any
board of trade or exchange upon which
said securities or commodities are dealt
in, and without bona fide purchase
or sale of the same; or
'Second-The making of or offering to
make any contract respecting the pur-
chase or sale. either upon credit or

mOdities wherein both parties intend.
or such keeper intends, that such con-
tract shall be or may be deemed termi-

quite fair to tax those who earn over $1,000
a year; to have an ascending scale, as il
were, but uniform.
Then, too, l believe the inheritance tax
is good revenue raiser. Those who OBJ
tain money by inheritance get it from
those who certainly can't take it with

Governor Hanley told of a deputation

can party. He said the president of the
brewers association came to him and told
him that the measure must not pass, or

pass and in two years the brewer did his
best to make good. and so did the COVER
nor and the people decided and the YER
diet was not satisfactory TO the president
of the brewers association.

II investigation be made Of the source OF
income in this country, it will develop
that an enormous revenue TO which prac-
tically all contribute in an equitable man

banking business is concerned, such an
income tax would yield a very large rev.
enue to the government. and this IS even
true, Of course, in many other forms Of
commercial and industrial enterprises.
AT the same time tax on Income aris-
ing from such sources would in uOwise
conflict with the rights of states and
would neither be directly or indirectly a

would have TO be displayed in drawing up

successfully and its operation, I feel con-
