AT THE GOVERNORS MEETING.

In the governors room yesterday
forenoon a meeting was held which
should be of the greatest possible good
for the state of Utah. 1t was called tn
consider the proposition to display the
resources of the state in the Land and
Irrigation exposition to be held the
coming fall at the Coliseum, Chicago.
The decision was made to go forward,
and prepare for the exposition.
It is a matter of record that one man
from Idaho has sold more than a mil
lion dollars worth of Idaho land in
the past year from his Office in Chica-
go. His advertisements are effective
only as they bring people to his office.
At the exposition the people will come
to the Utah booth. It viii be our own
fault if we do not convince them that
it would be better for them to buy a
farm in Utah than anywhere else.
It will be our own fault, because the
truth is it will be better for them. They
can get such soil, such climate, such
neighbors nowhere else in the whole

thousands who will throng the Coli
scum in November, and the state viii
be increased in population and in
wealth.
It is stated that there are $4,000 acres
of unoccupied and good land between
the Hot springs just north of town and
the Hot springs above Ogden; and that
it can be bought for one-fifth of the
money that would be required for like
land in Idaho and Washington. That
is q condition which need not continue.
But the only way to alter it is to bring
settIers-home makers-fron the east
ern states to win their fortunes in Utah.
The venture viii cost probably $1,000.
It would be unwise to attempt to work
with a less sum. Visitors should be
shown a relief map of Utah, with every
mountain range, every valley, every
desert shown; with the cities marked;
with the attitudes noted, and the gov
eminent land indicated. It will be easy
then to tell the minerals in the noun
tains, and the uses to which the various
soils can best be put The map should
be twenty feet square, so that sufficient
detail will be developed. All can then
be supplemented with literature, and
with the personal talks Of competent
men.
Because of the center into which this
exhibit will be ushered and because of
the very large number of visitors Ger
tain TO be in Chicago at the time this
enterprise deseTeF the most cordial
support by the people. Governor Spry
is in hearty favor of the plan, and can
hardly fail to have the instant support
of all our people.

A JOKE ON MULLIN.
philadelphia Times.)


James Mullin, an office holder at the
Philadelphia navy yard, Joined the bare
headed walking pedestrian club few
nights agO-nOt as a matter of choice,
however.
In supervising the assortment of some
old material in the yard during the day
referred to. there was under his super
vision a big cOlOred fellow, who seemed 20
be shy a good hat
Taking the occasion to get a good joke
off on his superior officer, he addressed
his workman:
Sam, you seem to be in need of a good
hat I have one I'll give you. Go over to
building No. "A and enter the private Of
flee, where you will see a panama hat
which 1 have discarded. Use that. L would
rather let you have it than throw it
away"
Sam went, but instead Of finding the
office unoccupied, as Mullin thought, the
man on whom the trick was to be played
was present and when Sam told his mis-
sion he at once saw the plot, and re
taliated.
well. Sam" he said, u have decided
to ask Mullin for that hat myself, but I
will give you q good derby of mine that
does not fit me-"
Handing the hat to Sam, he left for
the gate, as it was time TO quit for the
day. The derby was the property of
Mullin, who took the joke very well, but
is suffering the loss Of a S. hat

THE PLAY "coRIANToN."

Every now and then some manor
wonla--takes a broad view of life near
at hand, and seeks to express its vital
principles in a book or play. That is
what Orestes Y. Bean, then Of Spring
Vile. sought to do with the play called
"Corianton." The play has been seen
for the two past weeks at the Colonial
theatre. and previously elsewhere in the
state.
"Corianton" presents phases of that
life which our Mormon friends believe
existed on this continent seventy-fiv~
years before the birth of Christ. The
Book of Mormon, with which they are
familiar. furnishes the material; and it
would be difficult to find anything more
RIGA in incident, more fraught with the
element of religious significance.

WELCOME OF THE NEW PAPER.

You like the new paper, don't you?
The new paper finds itself very much
IN love with the new people.
OF course, the circulation is a very
large one. And from the many mes
sages written and telephoned and de-
hvered by word of mouth, the expecta-
ton of loss is not going to be realized.
Instead of erasing names, the young
men Of The Herald-Republican find it
necessary to extend their lists.
Utah people. both in this city and
throughout the state, believe in the pa
per. They hoped for a journal that
would be fair and free; unawed by
power and unbought for gain. They
are very sure Of those qualities in The
neutrality-suspicious.. They wanted, too
q good newspaper. They recognize the
TACT that in their new paper they get
very much the best news service ever
attempted in Utah
Many years ago Joseph Storey, in his
motto for the Salem CMass) Register,
presented this as his confession of
faith:
Here shall the press the peoples rights
maintain,
Unawed by influence. and unbribed by
gain.
Here patriot Truth her glorious precepts
draw,
Pledged to advancement liberty and law
Add those qualities to the most mod
ern facilities for assembling the news,
and give to all the proof of ability to
present in fair form to the reader-and
you have the ideal which the makers of
The Herald-Republican have set for
themselves.
1t is q pleasure to address so large a
company. It is an even greater joy to
give them so nearly an ideal newspaper.
With no fight against any man who
stands for the betterment of present
conditions, with a perfect faith in the
future of Utah, and with a pride in the
present, we shall continue in happy
service to all our patrons.

YOUR ONLY CHANCE.

Captain John Z. Pillsbury, the naval
boards new member, said the other day in
Washington Of a recruit who could not
shoot:
THE sergeant tried the fellow first at
500 yards, and he failed to come within a
mile Of the target.
'Then he was tried at 800 yards, then
at 200, then at 100, and his last shot was
worse, if possible, than his first.
The sergeant looked at him disgusted-
~, got very angry and walking up close
to him shouted in his face:
q" Attention. Fix bayonet! Charge the
target It's your only Chancer "

BEGIN WORK
ON C. 6 D. CANAL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O--The River and
Harbors Committee OF the House held the
first session this year yesterday. More
than 200 delegates of tho Rivers and Har-
bors Congress. which is now, in session.
attended the hearing TO hear Represen-
tatiye Hampton L. Moore, the president
Of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Asso-
ciation, speak before the committee in be-
half of the association project.
Mr. Moore thanked the committee for
the survey granted last year and eX-
pressed the hope that the governments
engineers might complete their work in
time for action by Congress at this ses-
sion. lie assured the committee that the
project for a chain of inland waterways
was meritorious and would justify early
consideration. He took the ground that
the committee should act without delay
on the Chesapeake and Delaware in ac-
cordance with the report of the commits
sion appointed by President Roosevelt, OF
which Gen. Felix Agnus was chairman.
Mr.. Moore spoke of the care and atten-
tion given by the commission to its re-
port. The Atlantic Deeper Waterways As
ISOLATION did not expect the government
to enter at once upon the whole project
Of chain OF canals from Cape Cod to
Beaufort. It did most earnestly hope,
however, that Congress make a begin
ming at this time. and Mr.. Moore inn
pressed upon the committee the wisdom
and the advantage of selecting the chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal as the first
canal to be improved and of making that
canal the starting point Of the whole pro-
3ect the other links Of the chain Of
canals to be completed from year 10 year.
The association, he said, wanted TO make
a beginning at the most available point
and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
was conceded by everybody to be the
most available portion of the project. The
opening of the canal and its improve
ment by the government would justify
the wisdom of the entire project.
A supplemental report by the govern
ments engineers showed that the canal
could be bought and deepened TO a uni
form depth of 16 feet at the cost Of sto.-
OOO.OOO and it would be a splendid way to
begin.
