BELL AND SHAW ON JAPAN.

It appears that Japan was good
deal exercised about the reported state
mcnt of General Bell of the United
States Army, that war with Japan
was inevitable. and that we must pre-.
pare for il and be ready AT any time.
General Bell, however. absolutely rcpu-
dates that statement. says he mover
said anything of the kind. and cannot
understand how such report orig
mated
Ex.SecretarY Shaw, however. who
agreed that such war is possible
stands by his guns. and says that this
country is in woefuI plight as to
preparation for it, and especially in
regard to powder; and that, while he
does not apprehend an immediate war
with Japan. he wants this country pre-
pared for whatever comes. If what he
says about powder being so scarce, and
of the possibility of powder manufac-
ture is correct, then surely he has
struck note of warning which should
have been struck a good while ago. If
1t is true that n few hours fighting of
our ships would exhaust the powder
manufacture of Il month in this coun-
try, then We should certainly wake mp,
There ought TO be facilities for all war
needs, and an ample supply of powder
is imperative. If eX-Secrctary Shaw is
correct, he has rendered his country a
service in calling attention TO tho woe
full lack. If he is not correct, he has
simply stirred up antagonism in Japan,
and has done no service to the country

INTERURBAN ROADS.

Falling INTO line with the custom o.
The Eastern States, there arc variou!
projects for interurban lines coming
into and radiating from Salt Lake City
The latest and most promising is that
by Jesse Knight, who has succeeded
in getting concessions from all the
cities i'll Utah county, and in Salt Lake
county AS far as this city.
1t Will of course be the duty Of the
Council TO faithfully consider all propo-
Istions as submitted. The growth of the
country demands additional facilities
IN many directions, and the interurban
proposition is one of great promise il
works successfully in the Eastern
States, and no doubt would do so sue
cessfully here. There is no doubt but
that 1T has the possibility of many
advantages to She people of Salt Lake
IN the cheap transportation of the
various food products at a rate which
ought 10 shake the monopoly which is
forcing the people here to pay far moro
than they ought to pay for the common
necessaries Of life.
the city for franchises granted, if may
fairly be stated that the city can be
liberal towards such line ms this
especially at tho first. making due
provision for what is lust return
after the road gets fairly in operation
and earning It's revenues. The city will
not. of course, offer valuable franchises
as public free gift, neither will il be !
unduly cxacting in regard to the grant
ing Of the same. Heretofore the city has |
been very liberal in all matters of this
kind, and the tradition of that liberality |
will doubtless prevail so far as is Just |
to the city itself and to its people.
The Tribune reioiceS TO see these cvi.
dences Of progress, advancement and
relief, An intcrurban line reaching
from this city well down into Utah
County, and north through Davis, would
relieve the high food prices
situation here very materially, especially
II view of the disposition Of the Coun-
III to allow farmers TO sell their
products direct to the consumers at con

Death Of a Young Man

Wallace Sherwin, who was operated
on last week for rupture Of the APP
pendix, passed away at the Sherwin
home in the Tolo section, last Friday.
The deceased, young man of
twenty-six years of age, was born of
parents who faced the hardship in the
west Incidental to pioneer life, was a
popular and highly respected young
man and there are many who shed a
tear with the sorrowing mother and
sister in their time of greatest bereav.
ment.
Wallace Sherwin was young in
years but bore the burden of business
cares that would have proven load
for the shoulders of one much older.
Since the death of his father he has
had charge Of the ranch near Tolo
and well has he discharged his trust.
The subject Of these remarks was a
big hearted, good-natured, hard work
ing young man, whose friendship was
appreciated by many.
The funeral service was conducted
Sunday by the Rev. Hall Of Clarks-
ton, who preached the funeral sermon
of the deceased father, and the remains
were laid to rest in Prairie View Gem.

A Thrifty Bunch

The local warehousemen are a
thrifty bunch, seems to us. The
writer usually makes visit Of the
warehouse locality the first of every
month, to collect bills, if you curious
want to know, and while making such
visit this month we discovered one
warehouseman had just completed
butchering hog that day.
He told us he had always wondered
at what price wheat could reach and
still be profitable to convert into pork.
So this fall he bought a shoat weigh
ing a little over a hundred pounds and
kept the same under the warehouse all
winter feeding him on high-priced
wheat. He found that after paying
all expenses, this includes the wheat
fed at the market price, his pork
would cost him just seven cents a
pound.
M Hardy, who manager the Nollmer-
Clearwater house, doe. not seem to be
as thrifty as his neighbors. He did
venture to us the information that at
one time he conducted real estate
agency in connection with his duties
as warehouseman and that quite often
he was able to get a good buy by
talking with the ranchers who brought
grain in.
Swanson, well Swanson is sure
enough hustler. He buys poultry,
lots of poultry, has been all winter
The timbers supporting the big ware
houses Of his company have been SUR
rounded by wire netting and this
serves as his "hen COOP, and pretty
good one, too. Is sort of self
feeder, the wasted grain falling
through the floor into the chicken pen
The cost of the fattening process yol
can we'll see is trif1e. Swanson has
been taking care Of the warehouse
business during the day and picking
chickens at night He has made gooc
money out Of the side line
There is quite little colony dowr
there and Brown, the lumberman, WI
suppose is the "overseer' Of the settle
ment, at least his office is centrally
located and has a high desk with q
shelf Of legal looking books upon it

I. B. Snyder, the manager OF the
Meadows, Warren and Roosevelt
Telephone Co., was in the city last
Friday, Mr.. Snyder came up from
Meadows and was putting the line in
shape which has been down at several
places on account of the wind storms.
He says the winter was longer than
usual in Meadows this winter. When
speaking of the railroad building the
coming season Mr.. Snyder stated he
had no doubt but that the Salmon
River section would have road be-
fore long but did not think the PIN
would build to Meadows this season as
it was an independent line and short
of funds.
