CASE OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
viii Be Tried in Federal Circuit Court
at Oeadwood

In the United States district court
at Deadwood next month a case OF
much Importance to that section will
be tried, involving the alleged origi
of many forest fires in the Black Hills
The government has brought suit
against the Burlington railroad for
$4,000 damages for the destruction
by fire on Labor day, 1908, at Galeua,
of over 1000 acres of valuable timber
In the Black Hills national forest
That the case will be bitterly con.
tested was made evident by the stub
born defense put up by the road in
the two similar cases brought by
Charles krouse and George Benner in
circuit court at Deadwood in June.
The government suit will also be
the first one tried there in the United
States courts in which the double
double damage act is relied upon. If
the plaintiff is successful the amount
of it's damages can be put at $4,000,
but It is understood that in such 81
event the validity Of the state statute
on the subject. passed in 1907, will be
tested in the higher courts.

CALF's FIRST DRINK.
Always Begin the Lesson When the
Animal Is Hungry.

BY T. A. BORMAN.
In giving the calf his first meal ar
tificially, Which is from milk pail, let
the calf get hungry before you at
TEMPT to feed him. A hungry calf
will learn to drink much more quickly
than a calf which is not hungry. In
fact, II is next to impossible to make
ii calf drink until lie Is hungry. 1t,
therefore, will save wear and tear on
the temrcr and the calf will be treated
lust as well if he is not allowed to
eat until he feels the need of a meal.
When feeding the calf the first time
do not offer him more than a half gal
lon of milk and let that be Mt as near
ly the natural temperature as possible.
Back the calf into a corner. Stand
astride his neck. insert the two first
fingers of the right hand in his mouth
and If hungry the calf will suck the
fingers If the calf is not hungry he
will not suck the fingers and ii is use
less TO attempt to feed him at this time.
When he begins sucking the fingers
lead his head into the pail. and he will
get Il taste of the milk. which means
that the job is then more than half
done, and after few seconds with
draw the fingers. If the calf fails to
drink at til" first attempt repeat the
operation until he gets Il good swallow
Of milk. when the task is completed
The calf when hungry soon finds that
he can drink
If at the first Heding the calf should
consume a half gallon of milk, do not
attempt to feed him again for ut least
ten or twelve hours Let him get
hungry He won't die of starvation
even though he did not drink drop
al the first attempt. This Is my plan
and I have reared good many calves
and have seldom failed to have the
calf drink on tho first trial.

THE PREHISTORIC RELIC FAD.

There is not city of any size in the Union
the seat of university or the home of archaeo-
logical museum-that does not occasionally send
out few professors or antiquarans to burrow into
old caves, examine abandoned cliff dwellings or
dig over ancient sites of Indian villages, searching
for that which cannot be found The deserted
caves of Colorado, southern Utah and northern
Arizona, even those not yet examined, if there be
any, can yield us nothing with which we are not
already familiar. Dessicated or mummifed bodies
of Indians, copper spears and digging implements,
pottery broken or whole, platform and other shaped
pipes perforated stone ornaments, celts, gouges,
rubbing and polishing and mealing stones, bone
and burnt clay articles and innumerable trinkets
are found in every university in America. Among
the collections and exhibits there is a uniform
sameness. The ground has been gone over, dug up
and exploited and its the old petrine cry we hear
Master we have labored all night and have caught
nothing.
There is nothing to be found that has not al
ready been found The university and the museum

A man who is blessed Cor afflicted with good

through the world well educated, widely read,
great thinker and wonderful student, whereas he
may be- and we believe usually is, nothing more
than mere parrot voicing the thoughts and words
of others, incapable of original work or of eyolv-
ing one fine idea from his inner consciousness
There are many instances supported by indisput-
able evidence of men whose faculty for memorizinc
the language of others is little short of marvellous
Many actors and actresses can repeat every word in
a half dozen Shakespearean dramas, and stu

these exceptions would only tend to prove the rule
OF all the records of wonderful memories with
which we are familiar none was possessed by eel
ebrated thinkers, while on the other hand there
are many records of celebrated thinkers having
poor memories.
The tendency of modern education, we believe,
is not to cram the minds of students with lot of
facts or to tax the memory with mere details that
are relatively unimportant The study of history is
not intended to fix in the mind lot of facts and
dates of historical events, but to awaken in the

liver Sermon who live in Community and under
rule, ready to go to any parish to which they are
invited, and to hold mission"
But why are there two PRIESTS Would not one
be enough? Possibly, but if mission is to be con-
Quoted with spirit and vigor, there ought to be,
at least two priests engaged in it; and this for the
sake of the preachers and the people If it be
worth while to have mission in parish at all,
it is worth while to have it thoroughly and in the
best possible way. Such work is too arduous to be
undertaken by any priest singly, unless he be
of very exceptional mental and bodily power and
variety of style, such as only be secured by a
change of preaching is of the greatest Importance
if the interest and the attention of the people is
to be kept at high pressure.
The Sermons the occasion of a Mission, IN
no inconsiderable degree, depend for their effect
both in character and style, from those ordinarily
preached. Then a consideration comes in, which is
very imperfectly appreciated at the present day;
and this is Elemental discipline and spiritual train
ing which is necessary for the mission fathers
inward self, if his sermons are to be something
out of the in their effect upon the souls of
those who hear him. In the case of any Priest,
the effect of his work depends, not much upon
his cleverness or his learning, as upon the mind
which he has made. He has to work certain effect
upon the minds of others, and such an effect ought
to be wrought in his own mind first, and that to
far higher degree. If this be true with the ordi-
nary parish priest, how much more is it true with
those who undertake such special and difficult work
as the conduct of Missionsl

In the present utrapractcal age we are apt to fall

of the work and scarcely at all of the workers, or
of the implements which they use. We cannot
lop, still less can we cut down, tree with every
kind of a Ratchet. If, on the one hand the wooo
be unusually tough, if, on the other great care
and accuracy be required, we must necessarily en-

nitz the Pittsburg twirler is, less, chiefly
more, responsible for the elimination. Last year
the Pittsburg team won the National League

This year it finished in third place. Had it not
been that few of its players too often looked upon

this promise, bonus of $1,000 was offered Cam
nitz if he ended the season without touching
liquor, he fell by the wayside many times, and not
only does he forfeit the $1,000, but he loses his
position on the club.
And, touching and appertaning to" the Cam
nitz case here is something worth remembering.
Men who make a living out of professional base
ball say that player will not be in perfect condi
ton for two hours exertion in the field if he has
taken couple of drinks the night before, This
seems, a positive statement, to go "leetle" too
far, at least until told the width, breadth,
height and profundity of the two drinks, the
pacty of the player and the condition of the
stomach.
All of us, who in our time did little field

that now comes under the ban. The command,
'touch not taste not handle not the vile thing" has

MUSIC AND POLITICS.

We don't know just what is accomplished by
the fife and drum corps that parade the streets
each evening, but certainly they make martial
music Undoubtedly they are intended to draw
attention to the merits of the political party they
represent, but whether they do that well they
make music is a doubtful proposition. The enthu-
siasm of the auditors certainly is not comparable
with the enthusiasm of the players. The fers blow
furiously, and they have good cause too, if they
have a desire to make their shrill whistle heard
above the beating of the drummers The snare
drummers rap-a-tap-tap, and the bass drummers
beat the very stufin' out of their instruments. 1t
is great music all right and the people on the east
bench enjoy the martial strains as they waited
UP to them on the evening breezes. 1t is very likely
that if one Richard Wagner were living today, he
could get few tips on how to make noise if he
would only come to Salt Lake and hear the filters
blow and the drummers beat their drums.
