Joe Pigati, while being envied,
brought out with a smile a letter he
had written on a piece of brown paper
on the fourth day of his Imprisonment
when he thought there was no hope of
rescue. The letter was addressed to
his wife and freely translated from the
Italian reads:
This is the fourth day that we have
been down here. That's what / think,
but our watches stopped. l am writing
in the darkness because we have been
eating the wax from our safety lamps.
l also have eaten a plug of tobacco.

this. | am not afraid to die. oh, Holy
Virgin, have mercy on me- l think my
time has come. You know what my
property is. We worked for it together
and it is all yours. This is my will and
you must keep it. You have been a
good wife. May the Holy Virgin guard
you. l hope this reaches you some time
and you can read it. 1t has been very
quiet down here. and l wonder what

LIFELONG ADVOCATE
OF TEMPERANCE
OPPOSES PROHIBITION

Miss Phoebe Cousins, a lifelong ad
vocate Of the temperance movement,
has taken a stand against prohibit
tlon, which will attract worldwide
attention. She has finally concluded
that the results Of prohibition, as IL
lustrated in our country, are wholly
disastrous and that nothing good Is
to be gained by the further extension
of that doctrine. "All women in the

The obstructive tactics which char
acterized the session of Tuesday eve
ming were continued at yesterday af-
ternoon's session of the Board of Su-
pervisors. The Mayor declined to
recognize the committees appointed
by the Board and refused to put the
question when their reports were Of
fered for adoption.
The minutes not being ready, the
Board proceeded at once with the
committee reports after the call Of
the roll.
The first report made was that of
the Committee on Roads. Bridges,
and Parks. Supervisor Quinn read
the report as chairman of the COM
mittee, and moved its adoption.
Mayor must rule that the men
whose names are signed to that paper
are not the members of the commit
tee, and l therefore decline to put

The Mayors refusal to recognize
the committee, and to put the ques-
ton as TO whether or not the report
should be accepted, threw the whole
thing back upon the Supervisors.
Logan varied the program by say
ing that as the rules of the Board
do not require him to appeal from
the ruling of the Chair, he would at
once put the question himself.

The Minority Report.

To the president and members of the
Salt Lake Real Estate association:
The minority of your committee appoint
ed 20 consider and present resolutions on
statewide prohibition in Utah, respectful
~ dissent from the recommendations of
the majority, and recommend that If the
salt Lake Real Estate association as an
organization Is to present to the ieglsia-
ture its conclusions upon prohibition. any
such communications shall favor state
wide prohibition. We admit that prohibi-
ton will not totally wipe out the use OF
liquor: that the habitual drunkard and
that which will crafty the craving for
drink. But that the liquor traffic will be
mininlized there can be no doubt.
The principal claim made by the ma
iority of your committee against DrOhibi-
ton. is that the enactment Of such law
in our state would hurt business, and par
ticularly the real estate interests We do
not cOnCede this. The effect of statewide
prohibition for long periods in other inn
portant states OF the union refutes the
charge. We shall not take up space in

From 1850 to 1890 paupers increased in

hibition was not in force, as follows:

Kentucky-173 per cent increase.
Ulinois-176 per cent increase.
During the same period. pauperism de-

They will need some help, some courage, some hopefulness; much truthfulness, clean hearts and pure minds considerably more than money. i, Here is the most approved method of treating seed potatoes to prevent a scappy crop: Soak the whole seed for two hours in a, mixture of one-half pint formalin (often called formal dehyde) and fifteen gallons of cold water; dry the seed, cut, and plant in ground that has not recently grown potatoes.
 Bad roads and scrubby stock go together. The farmers who set out to have better stock set out at the same time to have better roads, bet ter crops, and more improvements and conveniences on the farm. And in a neighborhood where there are good roads, improved stock and farms, we find a development of intellect and fuller, better appre- citation of life.
