MURRAY BASKETBALL

Basketball is now fIourishing at the
Murray schools. The Arlington team
is exceptionally strong this season, four
of the old men being back at school,
which makes the team a good one. Quite
a number Of games have already been
played with teams throughout the cOun-
ty and more are to follow. The Jordan
district basketball teams have made a
good record thus far. especially the Riv-
erton and Midvale teams.

TAKE A CENSUS.

California has recovered its eQui-
poise. The Drew bill, directed against
the Japanese ownership of land in that
state. was defeated by decisive vote.
The Californians have had grievances
against the Japanese and the people
of that state have had reason to fear
the encroachments OF the little brown
men. but with the strict control of
coolie emigration from Japan, nearly
the last vestige Of danger has passed.
Californians claim the coolies con-
tinue to arrive In undiminished num-
ders OF Canada and Mexico. There Is
simple way in which to check up on
Japanese immigration On date to
be determined. every city and town In
the west should take a census OF the
central body. A year OF six months
from that date second census should
be taken and the figures compared.
This census. we believe, could be OBJ
tanned by volunteers, through the ag-
ency of the labor unions.
For instance. the Ogden labor coua,
Gil should cover all that territory In
northern Utah where there is not
union. BY sending communications to
those friendly to the cause. census
OF this part OF Utah could be obtained
by the Ogden council without expense.
The different organized bodies OF un-
ion laborers should be called upon to
cover all western states and territor.
les.
II it should be determined by this
census that Japan has not kept faith,
then the entire west should appeal to
Congress and the President to remind
the Japanese Of their failure to keep
their promises. The government vi
Japan then would be called upon to
explain and, failing to do so to the sat
isfaction Of the American people, ia
pan would invite exclusion legislation.

WEIMER PAYS FINE

Cincinnati, Feb. 3-Jacob Weimer,
the pitcher who refused to report to
the New York Nationals when traded
by Cincinnati, last year, was today re-

mission on payment of fine of $3.50.
Hal H. Chase, first baseman of the
New York Americans, was reinstated
on condition that he pay fine OF 5000.
In the Chase decision, 1t is stated
Hal Chase was regularly under con-

the season OF 1908. He left about the
middle of the season. giving his prin-

NEW RAILROADS.

The announcement that James j.
Hill has obtained control of tho Den
yer &c Rio Grande is uncontrmed, but
a master stroke of that kind on the
part OF Hill is to be looked for. When
Hill secured the Colorado Southern he
was serving notice on Hartman that
a truce which had existed since the
time of organizing of the Northern Sc
curities was no longer OF force and
effect and that Hill ceased to recos-
nize any territory as neutral or ex-
elusive.
Prior to the understanding reached
by Hill and Hartman. the Burlington
bad planned to build westward through
Wyoming TO Ogden and the Chicago &
Northwestern was preparing TO extend
to Utah. With these big railroad mag
mates again antagonistlc and maneuv-
ering for an advantage, the restric-
tions placed upon the Burlington and
Chicago G. Northwestern may be with
drawn, with the result that Ogden
may witness the building of other

IN UTAH.

The Utah Farmer believes Utah to
be the best blessed state In the union.
In natural resources and climate It
has no equal. The farmer says:
AT present our farmers are holding
land to the extent Of 160. 800 and some.
times several thousand acres and make
money of from them. but they realize
today as they have never before, that
tho time is coming when the greatest
amount Of money is to be made from
handling small tracts of land, and
handling IT In an intellectual manner.
Fruit Is being grown here now In great
abundance. Each year sees million
or more trees planted and each year
sees a crop of fruit which Is almost

roads from the east within the near
future.
ogden canyon has been looked upon
as a feasible route for any railroad
seeking ingress to Ogden through the
Wasatch range, but the canyon is
blocked. The Utah Light & Railway
company is In possession OF much OF
the land through the canyon. and the
Light company is an auxiliary OF the
Union Pacific, or Hartman, system,
and, furthermore, the Union Pacific Is
said to be in possession of the old
Bannistcr surveys and rights acquir-
ed by the road which was to have
been built from Sioux City, Iowa, to
Ogden.
With the canyon closed to competing
lines from the east. there is possi
bility of the Burlington on Northwest
ern surveying through North ogden
canyon.
One more railroad from the east to
Ogden would tend to change the ell
tire railroad map of the intermoun-
tain country.

IN CHINA.

In the course OF journey through
China correspondent OF the F1nan-
cier observed with interest the eager
moss with which those Of the people
who were in position to crafty their
desire for modern methods and de-
vices had adopted them. Foreign
made goods were abundant In the
shops; department stores had been
established and displayed with the ac-
cessories therefor that are employed
In the most attractive bazaars. Amer
lean clocks, timed products. orna-
ments and cheap and gaudy articles OF
western European origin were found in
the larger cities. The poorest wear
cotton and other inexpensive cloth
ing; the well-to.do seek modern styles
and fabrics The European and Amor
lean population of China is less than
rs 600, the British is 5000, and Japa-
nese $4,000, but the latter are most
rapidly increasing. These classes OF
foreign population are the leaders In
promoting China's progress and In
teaching by example the better classes
OF the Chinese the advantages of for
eign methods of living and business.
AS an illustration, Chinese have adopt
ed the bicycle, the automobile 10

China, in the opinion OF the CORES
pondent, Is here to stay; 1t will, how
ever, require centuries for its full de-
velopmont, unless 1t shall be fastened
by energetic exploitation and the ces-
sation of measures obstructive TO
progress"
We have been liberal in our treat
ment of China as nation when she
was in sore straits after the occupa-
tion OF her principal cities by the
powers incident to the Boxer war: we
prevented the partition OF the empire
and effected reduction OF the indem-
nifty that was demanded We have
gained her friendship. but we have
repelled her people and such repul-
sion has been of character that has
touched her pride.

Northwest where those people would

The people OF Ogden stir themselves
and do something to proclaim their
wonderful unJeveloped resources of
soil and climate.
When this big army of homeseekers
are ON the move. the leaders Will be
looking to the point they set
out to reach. 1t will be almost as
unayailing to seek to turn them aside
as 1t would be to interrupt the army
ants in their migrations.
The proper thing for Ogden and
neighborhood to do is to extend the
hand of welcome to these people be-
fore they begin their journey. The
farming district from which these col
onists are to come should be made
aware that there is a place known as
Ogden, Utah, that the city is In the
center of beautiful valley; that fruit
culture Is In It's infancy here and un-
developed fruit lands are at present no
higher than pasture lands; that crop
failures are unknown; that the best
fruits produced in the United States
arc gathered in carload lots from the
orchards now in bearing; that fruit
lands near Ogden should sell for the
same figures for which Grand Junction,
Colorado, fruit lands sell, or $1,000 to
5000 an acre. when In yielding trees,
that the climate of this part OF Utah Is
salubrious and conducive to happi-
ness: that there arc no drawbacks to
fruit culture, except an inherent In
clination to escape the duty of prun-
Ing and spraying at the proper time OF
year.
If that kind of a message goes out
to the trainers of the middle states
and IL that kind of greeting reaches
them before they board the cars west
ward bound, we venture the assertion
that not 100, but 10000 OF the travel
ers cannot be persuaded to go beyond
the confines of Ogden until they have
seen all there is to be seen in and
around this city.
But who will convey this message to
the 10000?

HASKELL IN DISGRACE.

Governor Charles N Haskell Of
Oklahoma Is by this time beginning TO
count the whelks on his body where con-
tact with the ''big stick" left sore
spots. When he was named as treas
urer of the Democratic national cam
paign committee in the last election
there was something said about his
connection with the Standard Oil
crowd. He denied the charge and do
ing so involved Theodore Roosevelt in
the controversy. The President ac-
cused Haskell Of improper relations
with the big oil monopoly and pointed
out some of the governors misconduct
In land transfers. Haskell issued long
statements swearing to his innocence
and accusing President Roosevelt of
sinister motives in assailing him. Now
comes the federal grand jury with In
dictments charging Haskell and half
a dozen Of his close associates with
fraud.
Haskell. since the first day he es-
sayed to obliterate Theodore Roosevelt,
has had reason to regret that he ever
was SO simple minded as to believe
he could overawe the chief magis-
trate with a chow Of bold defiance.
Were the governor of Oklahoma and
the senior senator from South Caro-
lima to have heart-to-heart talk, they
both would admit that they knew not
heartaches until. presuming upon
their greatness. they had sought to dis
credit Theodore Roosevelt.
