A CHANCE FOR OGDEN
YOUNG MEN.

On June 16 an examination Will De
held In Salt Lake City to secure ell
igibles for vacancies existing In the
forest service. Forest clerks are want
ed on the Ashley. Fillmore, Fishlakc,
MantI and Nebo forests In this state.
The salary ranges from 5000 to $1,000
per year and, we understand, clerk
Is in line OF promotion In the forest
service. There are q dozen or more
vacancies to be filled in Nevada, ldano
and Wyoming In this same service.
A circular issued by the Civil Serv-
ice commission states tnat the du-
ties to be performed consist of carry
ing on office correspondence keeping
up files and conducting routine busi-
ness during the absence OF the forest
supervisor in the field The forest
service does not furnish either houses
or subsistence, and appointeeS Will be
expected TO report at places OF en-
ploymcnt at their own expense.
The examination win consist Of
spelling. arithmetic. letter writing.
copying from rough draft and type
writing and stenography. Applicants
should at once apply either to the
United States Civil Service commits
sion, Washington, D. c., or to the Sec
retary of the board OF examiners at
Ogden for application form 304
We urge Ogden men who have pre-
pared themselves for no profession to
take this examination. The 5000 to
81 200 is better than the salary Of a
store clerk, and there is an oppor-
tunity for promotion. Some Of the for
estry officials are we'll paid and their
positions are lifelong If their services
arc satisfactory. The civil service
employees are beyond the power Of
politics, and all that is required of
hem is faithful service

AN EARTHQUAKE WILL STRIKE
SALT LAKE.

The Salt Lake Republican, as though
appealing to children, says there are
but few men in Ogden opposed to the
capitol tax That trick In the art OF
deception can be played on little ones
and may fool the gullible in Salt Lake,
hut here 1t Is looked upon as the mani
festation of a mind bent on lying but
incapable of deceiving any one
The Weber club is sponsor for this
movement in opposition to the capltoI
tax, and the Weber club Is made up OF
big majority of the business men
of the city. That fact of itself gives
the lie to the Republican. Further
more every man you meet, with pos
sibly two exceptions, will ten you ne
is heartily In favor OF not only oppos-
ing the attempt TO increase taxes, but
of aiding In moving the capital to
Ogden.
If an earthquake were to swallow
Salt Lake City tomorrow, that act OF
Providence would amend the constItu-
ton to the extent of removing the
capital, and when OgGen has finished
with Salt Lake the results Will be
the same as that of an engulfing se.s-
mic disturbance. so far as sae consii
tuition and the capital are invoive..
The Salt Lake Republican, by
whistling may keep up courage, but the
day Is coming when, because of Salt
Lakes parsimony in public affairs. the
capital will be moved

REAL ESTATE BOOSTERS AND
THE CAPITAL.

Thea Salt Lake real estate boosters
are proceeding to amend the State
constitution in order to make possible
the boosting OF Salt Lake realty, but
they resent the suggestion that the
constitution might be further amend
ed and tne capital removed to Ogden.
II real estate crowd can cause a
constitutional amendment to be sub.
mltted to the people, why cannot a
oity the size of Ogden propose con
stitutional amendment without beinp
subjected to the slurring charge OF
resorting TO spite work."
The Salt Lake boosters are not
made OF any superior clay. that they
should be deified while the rest OF the
state is crucifled for their enjoyment

STATEMENT OF MAY DEFICIT


Washington, June 1.-The treasury
| deficit for May is shown by todays
| statement to have been S5,453. .955 For
the eleven months Of the current fls-
cal year deficit of S97 1858, ,102 is in
dicated.
The available cash balance was
| $11S,979,764 and the working balance
| s4O.329 600. Total receipts for May
were S53.932.310, and disbursements
! sos. .7s6,257.
This showing is much more favor
able than was expected by officials,
and indicates that the deficit for the
full fiscal year will fall much short
of the official estimate OF $4,000, 900.
The working balance is not regarded
as fully adequate to the probable
needs of the treasury for any great
length of time, and while the neces-
sity for additional cash Is not press
ing, it Is believed that officials will
take advantage of the present easy
money conditions throughout the coun-
try by calling on the national deposi-
tory banks for the return to the
treasury Of q large part OF their hold
ings
The banks now have deposits sub
ject to the treasury check aggregat-
Ing about $52 TIA 600 and 1t is believed
the government interest would not
suffer by a withdrawal Of at least
$4,000 900 of this sum,
May receipts from customs were
S27,S72095, an increase over May,
1908. of more than sS,000.000, but a
decrease of more than 100000 as
compared with last month. Re-
ceipts from international revenue ag-
gregated S19,295.029, an increase OF
more than S1.00O,0O as compared
with the corresponding month last
year, and slight increase over last
month.
Disbursements for May were a lit
tie more than S4.000,000 in excess OF
those for May last year There was
a decrease in the civil and miscella-
neous expenditures for May of S2.700,
600, as compared with April this year
and an increase of about S1,000,000
on account of the navy. Pensions
also increased about S3,000,000 and
public works S3,500000.

Charm of the Apron.

Nowadays, when woman wishes to
subdue man or win him to her whims.
she puts on her finest frock and wooes
him. Foolish girl so to trouble her
self! She could do It twice as easily
and many times as cheaply If she were
to top of an old gown with any pat
tern of apron, Every kind Is an arrow
in her culver. At least the Cleveland
Leader says so. When she wears one
of the kitchen brand that runs from
collar to hem Of skirt, bares her white
arms and mixes up a batch of flap
jacks, she fascinates man with her
domesticity. When she dons the par
lor OF gold thimble pattern, resplend-
ent with the lace, coquettlsh of pock-
ct, and SO trim and provocative about
the waist that man has to grind his
teeth and grip hard at the arms Of his
chair, he is perfectly willing TO abase
his head and let her put her Cuban
heels on his neck.
