 RAINFALL AT GLENDALE-M- though the rainfall in this city was very light there were heavy showers in the vicinity of Glendale which thoroughly soaked the fields. Whether or not the rain delayed the picking and shipping of the cantaloupes has not been learned, but as none of the melons can be placed in the crates with any moisture on them it is likely that none was packed yester- day after the showers. Any mois- tUre on the melon where it comes in contact with the crate causes a mold which makes white spots on the melon and renders it unfit for sale. .

DON'T WASTE THE WATER.

If you turn on the water it will run
quite as freely after you go away as
while you are watching it. The water
doesn't care a cent where it goes. After
it has made the lawn as wet as it
should be, the water doesn't stop COM
ing from the hose. It just keeps on
running, entirely Indifferent to the fact
that the soil is so full it cannot take
any more. The hose doesn't know that
the soil Of a lawn is different from
some men. who, when they get full
keep on imbibing. You could hardly
expect a garden hose TO think a lawn
had more sense than a man.
And after the ground quits drinking,
the water has 20 go somewhere, so it
runs on the walk, and down the street,
and so to the riveT-and the lake. But
there is no need of water on the asphalt
or the gravel of the street. The
sprinkler man is paid to put there what
water is needed there. You, for your
part. are not expected to keep the
streets flushed.
Wherefore, take all the water you
need. and then turn it off. Don't waste
the water Save it. Presently all of US
are likely to need it. Remember that
the hose awaits you.

PART OF THE TREASURE HOUSE,

Neither the world outside nor even
the people of Utah know the wealth
that is stored in the southern portions
Of this state. Wherefore, E. D. Woolley
comes up from Kanab and tells us
something about it,
Mr.. Woolley is the man who con-
structed road down to the river from
the rim of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. and then swung a cable
! across the 500-foot width of the stream.
hung a car on the cable, and transport
| ed passengers across the most mar
velous flood in America. He is a strong
man with gray hairs, and a frame that
/ is proof against all the WEAKNESS of the
| desert and the mountains. He lives with
elemental things. and it refreshes his
| fellows when he talks with them.
Within the past year or so Mr.. Wool
ley has, by his own effort and the CO.
operation Of the various county COM
missioners. built a passable automobile
road from Marysvale to Kanab, and he
recently took a party of eastern people
down there. and on to the Grand Can
yon. He wants the state to help the
counties of Piute, Garfield and Kane
TO make that road better from the ter
minus of the Rio Grande railroad at
MarysvaIe to the border of the state.
And he will make you believe it would
be the part of wisdom for Utah men
and Utah money to build it all the way
to the river. If that were done, the
world which now knows little of south
! ern Utah would add to it's information
which would be a profitable thing for
the world.
To be frank, the southern man wants
! something rather more extensive than
the simple improvement Of road south
of the mountains. He believes it would
be wise and helpful for the state TO
make a highway for wheeled vehicles
all the way from Preston, in Idaho, to
! Fredonia, in Arizona. And such a road
might well be made the backbone high
way of the state. From it could easily
run tributary roads to all the important
counties of Utah.
But there is a good deal of argument
even for the southern portion of that
proposed improvement The Santa Fe
railroad people have a line running
north from the Williams on their main
road to the Grand Canyon. And every
year they carry $4,000 tourists to the
Colorado river.
There are three times the opportuni-
ties 20 take people from the north of the
canyon, and Utah could easily put her
self in position to get all that tourist
travel. The people going would see a
region rich in timber, rich in minerals,
and even richer in fertile land than any
they are likely to find. Their better ac-
quaintance with Utah would bring
money investments to Utah, which
would be profitable to the visitors, and
vastly helpful to the state.
If people could go easily from Marys-
vale to the Grand Canyon, they would
make that trip. Since they cannot do
it easily. they do not go there at all.
Mr.. Woolley proposes something
which is of interest to every citizen of
the state and of Importance to the peo-
pie Of the whole country.

TOUCHED FROM ABOVE.

Robert Pollock, in his apostrophe to
Byron. says that the latter touched his
work from above. The poetic figure
was that of a man so fit and prepared
for his tasks that he did them easily;
that there was no struggle, no laborious
bending of the back to burdens.
That is the happy condition. And
there be men who accomplish much.
and yet who appear TODD it without an
effort. Tasks glide from inception to
accomplishment so smoothly that the
observer does not give the workman
credit
Most work means labor Most
achievement represents serious trial,
WEAKNESS. care. thought and pain.
That is especially true with regard to
the work of women. They rarely are
granted surcease from toll There is
something pathetic in the intense Sc
robustness with which they perform
their duties. They rarely seem pos
sessed of that limitless surplus of en-
ergy and preparation which enables
them to touch their tasks from above"
Usually, they are beneath the burden,
instead of treading it with the light
some step Of easy mastery.
William George Jordan, in his king
ship of Self-control," says this supe-
riority can be acquired; that the atti-
tude of easy dominance can be cult

PRESIDENT TAFT's COMING.

II needs no impulse of hero worship
to make the Utah citizen interested in
the coming of President Taft. Hero
worship is not good in republic. And
there is no element Of that quality in
the attitude assumed by American citi-
zens here toward a visit from their
president.
For in honoring him they are paying
honor to Themselves part of the
great nation; as part of the mighty as
sembly of freemen who by their voices
select the chief magistrate. They are
expressing their respect for the insti-
tutions Of freedom and independence
and self-government, and the equality
of all before the law. They honor all
these things when they honor the pres
ident of the United States.
OF course, it happens that our people
Will be glad to mingle an element of the
personal regard with their welcome to
President Taft. They hold him high
as a citizen of the United States. They
recognize the fidelity and efficiency
with which he has discharged the var
ious trusts that have been confided TO
his keeping. and they believe him to
have been uncommonly prepared for
the demands of his present high sta
ton. They think he was by nature
and training fitted to be president.
Also, they recognize in him the quail
tiles of that manhood by which from
the first the republic OF the United
States has advanced to greatness. They
find IN his character honesty and cour-
age, intelligence and industry. tact and
talent. And his coming makes a little
more intimate and impressive the ur-
gent lesson Of the value those qualities
possess.
And then. after all. HE Is President
of the United States. He does hold in
his hands absolute command of the ar
mics and navies of the nation. He is
the one most potent individual in the
republic. And because of regard for
him, and because of honor to his sta
ton, the people Of Utah without ex-
ception will joyfuIly receive him, will
cordially welcome him. will seek to
pleasantly entertain him-and viii
know that he is a better president for
his journey to Utah and the west.

is 1T WORTH WHILE?

What pestilent perversity is that
which makes some men labor dilligent-
ly to tell all the bad they can? What
fatuous purpose is it which makes the
slanderer prefer to tell bad things
closing his eyes to the far more preva-
lent good? Almost 800 years ago Ste
phen Harvey wrote;
And there's a lust in man no charm can
tame
OF loudly publishing his neighbours
on eagles wings immortal scandals fly.
While virtuOus actions are but born to
die.
Surely it doesn't pay. In a world
which must have died a million years
ago If the good had not been greater
than the bad, no man can profitably
haunt the sewer and the garbage can.
In a humanity which would have made
a hell instead of a heaven on earth if
heaven had not been preferred, surely
the man who stews the sins of his
neighbors and serves them constantly
reeking with malodor will be the worse
and not the better for the service.
The world is fair. The tendency of
your neighbors is for good and not for
bad. The wish of the race is for the
best of which humanity is capable. And
hunting the unlovely sediment, and pro-
claiming it above the hOusetOps as
characteristic conduct makes the pro-
claimer love his task, become a part of
the offaI which he disDIavs and min
giles badness in the deeps of his heart
where peace and joy and cleanly things
ought TO live.
