BIG FIRES.

Salt Lake City Is suffering heavy
damages from fires During months
past, at intervals OF a few days. fires
have destroyed valuable property prin-
cipally in the business district The
fire department Of Salt Lake is ineiii-
cient or the city was extremely unfor-
tunate in the numbering of fires which
could not be controlled until heavy
losses were sustained.
A few years ago Ogden had a large
fire and as result there was much
criticism of Ogden water supply and
fire department and insurance rates,
as a consequence were held at high
figures, but a long-period comparison
OF the two cities will prove Ogden to
be the better fire risk, although fire
underwriters have been slow in recog-
nizing this fact. due in part, perhaps,
to the Utah end of the big companies
having those in authority located in
Salt Lake City.
With the extending of fire mains and
the placing of flreplugs in the center
of the business blocks. and with the
enlarging of the reservoirs, few cities
will be better equipped to fight fires
than Ogden.

NEW AUSTRALIAN FIBER.

Consul John F. Jewell of Mel
bourne. reports the discovery in Aus
'tralia of an extraordinary fiber of ma
rine origin, which he says is likely TO
prove Of great commercial importance.
The consul thus describes 1t:
This fiber is the result of the shed
dings of the leaf sheath Of a sea grass
botanically known as Posidonia Aus
trails (of the order of Naiadeoe), and
so far has been found only in Spencer
Gulf, South Australia, where the she'd
dings have been imprisoned by the ac-
tion of wind and waves in the sand
flats of the gulf. The foreshore of
the part of the gulf where the best
deposits OF the fiber exist Is a long
shelving bank with a clearly defined
belt of live marine growth from low
water seaward, with wide shallow
sand flats stretching inshore to dry
land, the whole being a mixture of fine
sand, she'll. clay and limey substance
on a limestone formation, and inter
mixed with this sand, shell. etc, are
layers of the fiber averaging II feet
in depth with 4 feet of water over
the deposit.
Ovor one hundred soundings of the
deposit have been made in different
spots, and on every occasion the fiber
was found, sometimes a few inches
under the surface, at other times a
foot or more. varying In color and
fineness according to It's depth, and
there would appear to be millions Of
tons available, the accumulation of
centuries. AT l foot the fiber Is mixed
more or less with the decaying roots
OF the plant and marine growth above
1t, while at 2 or more feet il is clean
er and much brighter in color. but al
ways mixed with the adhesive soil In
which 1t is embedded. The best sam
pies were found where the bed was
covered with water at to 10 feet
deep. 1t is intended to gather the
fiber by means of dredges fitted with
special buckets and rakes, together

LINCOLN AND TEMPERANCE.

The following is from Golfers
Weekly: In early youth. Lincoln, in
boyish speeches. flayed the scourge
OF drink. Later. when he was thirty
three. this is what he said:
"The world would be vastly bene-
flied by a total and final banlshment
from 1t OF all intoxicating drinks"
He did not lose his reason merely
because his convictions we're intense:
Too much denunciation against
dram-sellers and dram-drlnkers was
INDUCED in. 1t is not much in the ma
ture of man TO be driven to anything" !"
Observe. Lincoln was pleading for
"entreaty and persuasion" toward
temperance as against the thunder
ing tones OF anathema and denuncia-
tion." The same belief in the vast
harm Of drink, tempered, however, by
the power to sec all sides of man )
complex nature, existed at the height
OF his development Thus we find him
in 1863:
'Intemperance is one of the great
est. If not the greatest. of all evils
among mankind"
He added:
"The mode Of cure is one about
which there may be differences OF
opinion"
Why Is forgery deemed necessary

hibition falsely attributed to Lincoln.

he, was a hypocrite. He was tenn
porizer and coward. In '65 he had a
vast army al command Why did he not
use 1t to put down drink That man
does more harm to the temperance
cause than any other being in the
town where he resides. In book by
D. C. Baker, published last year, is
this statement:
"Mr. Lincoln is quoted as saying:
If the prohibition of slavery is good
for the black man. the prohibition OF
the liquor traffic is equally good and
constitutional for the white man.
Yes. he is quoted" as saying 1t.
but never did say 1t. The prohibition
lists attribute this speech to April IL,
1865, the last day of Lincoln's life, so

ST. PATRIck's DAY.

Who was St Patrick, where was he
born, where did he die, what were bis
antecedents? No one seems able TO
answer these questions. St Patrick Is
supposed TO have been born In Eng
handsome say Wales, others say
Scotland-about 500 A. D. When Is
years old he was carried to Ireland as
a slave. later escaping to France,
where he studied for his religious
work Later he returned to Ireland,
the scene of his slavery, and convert
ed the Druids TO Christianity. He
is supposed to have died at the age
of 81, although some writer's record
his death at 61 years of age.
How March II became fixed az the
day of his birth is not known.
st. Patrick is the patron saint of
Ireland, and St. Patrick's Day is the
Gay all Irishmen observe-that is all
Catholic Irish.
The day Is really a religious event
and is so observed by the Irish In all
parts of the world.
The wearing of the green is one of
the emblematic observances of the day
In the United States, not only the Irish
but all classes joining In this outward
expression of good Will.

construct a dam and when they had
completed the undertaking the water
shares sold at a great advance and
today are selling for $3.50. and, furth-
ermore. a vast stretch of land, which
was deemed almost worthless. was
made to yield most profitable harvests.
and now a beautiful country OF orch
ards Is to be seen where sand wastes
prevailed and sagebrush struggled to
exist.
William Bostaph Is again at work on
the dam and canal. He is making
more figures on possible enlargement
OF the reservoir, and he is confident
the storage of spring floods can be so
increased as to provide even larger
volume of water for the sand ridge
and thereby increase the acreage
available for cultivation.
There is not another such demon
stration of the benefits of the storage
of water to be found In all the west.
There are other successru: storage
reservoirs, but none in which the
good accomplished or the profits real
lied by the farmers are so readily
traceable.

REGULATING THE SALOON
BUSINESS.

II the proposed compromise liquor
bill passes the Utah legislature and be-
comes law. there will be remodeling
OF the fifty-two saloons OF Ogden. With
one or two exceptions all barrooms are
screened from public view and all con-
tain chairs and many have wine rooms,
booths and gaming rooms. TO change
these places so AS to conform to the
requirements Of the new regulation
would involve heavy expense.
These are dark days for the saloon
business. The owners are threatened
with prohibition and facing drastic
regulation and they scarcely know
which offers the least delusive hope.

Colonists are going through Ogden
by the thousands. They are home
seekers, yet not one in a thousand

Irrigation companies have flooded
the Mississippi valley, the Middle and
Eastern states with literature on the
opportunities to be found under their
own irrigation bitches, but Ogden and
Dcighborhood are without this boosting
because Of the fact that there is no ir-
rigation project with land selling
schemes within Weber county or con-
tiguous thereto, To overcome this
neglect to call attention to tne re-
sources Of this part of Utah, some
movement should be started intended
TO carry to these colonists, before they
start west, the advantages possessed
by Ogden and surrounding country.
There Is no great impression to be
