Have you seen the comet yet? If
you had faith to remove the mountains,
especially Lookout mountain, you might
see Mr.. Halley's pet provided you cared
to end your slumbers about a. M, but
even with this early rising it is neccs.
ary for Glenwoodites to ascend the red
mountain west of town if they would
feast their eyes upon the heavenly WIS.,
itor So far as we are concerned #
the old comet doesn t care to call dur
ing our waking hours she can just go
right on her trip at the rate of fifty
miles per second and miss the oppor-
tunity of our acquaintance, which IS
considerable as she may find out when
too late.
The Rife Telegram felicitates itself
on the fact, or what it claims to be i
fact, that out of 154 indictments re-
turned by the recent grand jury not one
was against a citizen of Rifle. That
may or may not be true and in any
event the fact that the grand jury was
sitting in Glenwood instead of Rifle
might possibly have something to do
with the case, ira la la. If the grand
jury had been in Session in Rifle or If
it had taken an excursion to that little
burg it might possibly have unearthed
a few Gum Shoe Mikes even in as
moral town as Rifle. Who knows?
Gus Colson, for many years faithful
employe of the Colorado Midland at this

SILT GETS A PAIR OF PREACHERS

The splendid little fruit section
around Silt has recently become quite
jealous of its citizenship as is evidene-
ed by the splendid character of the peo-
pie who have recently purchased land
in that community Merchants, school
teaAlers. bankers and clerks have been
among the late purchasers and couple
weeks ago Rev. Greer A. Foote, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Glenwood
became the owner of the Voris or Tins
ley ranch, one of the charming little
properties of that section. Well, one
good turn deserves another and so they
are to have second preacher fruitgrow-
er.
This second ministerial acquisition
comes through the purchase this week
of the 90 acre home ranch of G. H. Coe
by the Rev. F. L. Macleod formerly
of New Jersey but at present pastor Of
a Presbyterian church at Colorado
Springs.
These two new purchasers knew each
other quite well years ago when both
were in Princeton. Mr.. Foote came
west and Mr.. Macleod took up work
in New Jersey, but was recently forced
west in the interest of his health.
After making a careful investigation
of Garfield county fruit lands and after
taking advice from his physician he de-
cided that he could not DO better than
secure an orchard tract and spend the
most of his time near to Nature.
The Coe orchard which Mr.. Macleod
has purchased is one of the very best
in the country and the splendid fruit
from this property has taken many
prizes at the fairs throughout the coun-
try 1t is understood the price paid
was $500 per acre which is very reason
able for such fine, productive orchard.

P1T1FUL CASE IN COUNTY COURT

A most pitiful case was that held in
the county court Thursday afternoon.
being an inquisition into the sanity Of
Mrs. Laura Cornell Lindquest, wife of
Oscar Lindquest. With the woman
We're her two little children. one fifteen
and the other two months DID, but the
case had not proceeded far when it was
evident that the mother was almost as
helpless as her babes. After the testi-
mony of DR.. Crook and DIR. Steward,
Mrs. Vieweg. the womans aunt, ani
former Marshal Weidenhammer, a Jury
had no trouble in finding the woman so
distracted in her mind as to endaneer
safety and the safety of those about
her if permitted to run at large. She
was therefore ordered sent to DIR.
Works sanitarium at Pueblo and the
children will be left to the care of Mrs.
Vieweg for the present but will proba
bly, be sent to the state home little
later by the county commissioners.
Oscar Lindquest, the woman's husband,
is horse jockey, but he makes no ef-
fort to support his family and it seems
to be up to the county to look after
them.

AN OPPORTUNITY OF GREAT
VALUE.

Next Monday. at the office of State
Superintendent Nelson, in the city and
county building, viii be held an exam
ination of boys with the purpose of ap-
pointing one to the naval academy at
Annapolis. And it is an opportunity
that should not be neglected.
Here is a chance for some Utah young
mau-anywhere from the age of seven
teen to twenty-one-to get the best pos
sible education at the expense of the
country, TO receive commission in the
United States navy, and to have his
career secure to the very end of his life.
The position is honorable, dignified, de-
sirable, leading to fame, and opening
the way to travel around the world
The applicant must be in good physi-
cal health, and must be able to pass
such an examination as High school
lads ought to accomplish without any
difficulty. They must be Of good moral
character. In all of this there is moth
ing beyond the reach of any one of hun
dreds Of lads in the state-and the
competition is open to boys from any
part of Utah.
Fifty competitors should appear in
the superintendent office at the hour
named, every one of them fairly on
edge to take the examination and prove
they are fit for the place which has
been provided by the government. The
winner in that competition will be APP
pointed TO the naval academy by Con-
gresham HOMELAND there is precise
ly all the start that Fighting Bob
Evans had when he entered the acad-
envy, He was appointed by the con-
gresham from Utah. And Bob Evans
did the rest.
1t is worth while to win the possibili-
ties for such a career-and there is
every reasonable hope for all the honor
that Admiral Evans has secured.

DOGS FOR THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT..

What We especially like about Sam
Barlow, chief of police, is his trend to
originality He has supplemented the
mounted corner men with dogs for
trailing the troublesome thug and high
way robber. And any gentleman con-
templating the holding up of a citizen
better think twice before he is bitten
once by the cantankerous canine.
We are for the scheme and for the
chief. And having so established what
Jerry Simpson called the intense cor
dial, let us add the suggestion that
these educated dogs be established as
instructors of the cOIIarIess ours that
chase vehicles at Main and Second
South, till those disagreeable dogs shall
learn to make useful application of their
energies.
No dogs in ChristendOm work harder
than dc those that chase the wheels
Let them be taught to make the run for
a definite purpose, instead of frittering
away their strength on aimless dashes
and noisy barkings Let the police
dogs teach the ours to lay for the rob-
beTs, and run them to earth.

FARMERS SCHOOL AT BRIGHAM

And the people of Box Elder county
will not forget that the school for farm
ers and housekeepers will begin in
Brigham City next Monday morning.
There is reason TO believe that a very
large attendance will mark each of the
sessions.
An admirable program has been pre-
pared. President Widtsoe of the Agri-
cultural college and Professor L. A.
Merrill are among the speakers who
have been secured. 1t is not the inten-
ton TO hold any session Tuesday even
ing, that being Washington's birthday.
But the other hours of the five DAYS
win be filled with interesting and pro-
ftable matter for every one attending.
We believe the people there will be
especially interested in Professor AIer-
rilIs talk on dry farming in Box Elder
county. That is a topic which should
appeal to every resident, no matter
what his occupation may be. And while
the printed program tells nothing of the
domestic science features that have
proved so successful. in previous schools,
we are assured that the housekeepers

ELEKTRA.

BY JOHN a. MOROSO.
The bass fiddles grOan and the large
trombone
Gives a believing yowl of pain,
While the deep bassoon grunts a sordid
tune
And the flutes make wind and rain.
The flageoIet squeaks and the piccoJo
shriekS
And the bass drum bumps to the fray,
While the long saXoph0ne with a hide
Gus grOan
Joins in the cacophanous lay.
It's a deep blood lust and we're taught
we must
Guip il down and pronounce it grand.
And forget the lore when TrOVatOre
Was sweet TO understand.
An. those dear old airs 1t now appears,
Were never to be classed as Art:
We must shake with fear through a
great nightmare
And awake with a terrible start
o, the nameless dance and the hideous
trance
That the audience wallows in.
And the strange. strange noise and the
murderOus joys
And the fun of a farflung Sim
No more, no more; it was fun galore
While we plunged through the
rOtting weeds,
But the time has come to be going
To the fine old musical oreeds.

ONE THING FOR THE
GOVERNORS.

For a good many years the people of
Alaska are not going TO enjoy entirely
ideal conditions of government. They
are so far away, their circumstances
are so different from others known
throughout the republic, and their cir
cumstances are changing so rapidly,
that the needs Of the territory will not
receive the careful attention they de-
serve for some years.
But if the governors Of the far west
ern states were TO organize and make
united demand on. the rest Of the nation
for the things the people of these states
ought 10 have, they would be in excel
lent position to say a word for the pro-
lection of Alaska.
And it should be said. The interests
of Alaska are more nearly the inter-
ests of this side of the continent than
Of any other. While it is not greatly
the concern of Utah, yet this state APP
preciates the difficulties of the Alaska
people, and sincerely desires that JUS
tice be done them,
If the governors of all this mountain
and coast country were united in their
representations to government, they
could secure much now impossible of
winning by any one of them. And in
that day they could extend a nightly
helping hand to their younger sister
across the northern seas.

BOOKER WASHINGTON ON
LINCOLN.

Nothing in all the Lincoln day cele-
bratious touches quite so responsive a
chord as that address of Booker T.
Washington at a banquet given by
Governor Deneen in Springfield, llli-
nois. There, in Abraham LincOln's home
town, in the city where he spent his
busy and happy years, where every one
personally knew him and all trusted
him; in the city from which he went in
the late winter of eighteen siXty-one,
the best representative of the race
which he freed made an address which
viii not be forgotten. II was worthy
tribute to the character of the Great
Iiberator and it came from just the
man who should have uttered it ON Lin
coins birthday, and within a block of
his old home.
Mr.. Washington told Of his first i'm
preston of Abraham Lincoln. He must
have been a very small boy at the time,
for he was still lying on his ragged bed
when the "hands" were going TO work
in the fields And above him his negro
mother was bending and uttering the
prayer that Lincoln might win
ii isn't likely the woman had any
very clear conception of what win
ming" in that case might mean. But
she did know that Lincoln desired the
freedom of the slaves-and she was a
slave. and her boy was a slave. She
wanted him to be free. And in his in
FAINT brain was formed the impression
that comes from a prayer uttered by a
soul distressed-and sanctihed with
hope.
Lincoln "won." and the woman and
her boy were free. 1t may not have
meant much TO the mother. but it made
all the difference in the world to the
boy, for he used his freedom and his
manhood to win a worthy citizenship
for himself, and then began that career
which has brought so much of benefit
to his race.
Emancipation means something when
il produces such men as Booker Z.
Washington. And it means the more
that such a man keeps alight in his
heart the flame of gratitude to that
wonderful character for whom the col
ored mother prayed.

KEEP CLOSE TO THE FACTS.

In may annoy gentlemen who have
had such a good time yelling at the
tariff, but it will be well for the care
full citizen to keep his eye on the facts.
And the facts are that the new tariff
law-the Payne law--does not raise the
rate on necessaries of life, and does
raise it on the luxuries. Which reminds
one again of that old adage of the late
Congressman Townsend: "To tax an
article is to take portion of that arti-
Gle" And the country can better spare
a portion of its silks and diamonds than
a portion of its food and clothing.
Also, the Payne law is proving an ex-
cellent revenue producer. The corpora
ton tax collections have not yet begun
to come in, and yet President Taft was
able to tell the country in his Lincoln's
day speech that the present law is bet
ter than either of its two immediate
predecessors, As, for example:
During the six months the Payne tar
iff was in force. from August to the
night of February ., customs receipts
amounted TO S166002 ,S56.54 Under the
WilsOn-GCrman tariff the semi-annual
average was sS3147, $3.50. Under the
Dingley tariff the semi-annUal average
was $3.50, 265,S41.S4. Under the Wilson
tariff the monthly average was S13,-
S57,9S765. Under the Dingley tariff the
monthly average was $2f,710, go. "a,
while under the Payne tariff the month
ly average has been s27, 667, 1875, or 100
per cent greater than the monthly aver
age under the Wilson tariff, and % per
cent greater than the monthly average
under the Dingley tariff.
1t has been fashionable TO abuse ths
makers of the new tariff. But as the
people learn the facts in the case-and
especially when they find that the new
law, while more fair than others to the
masses, is yet a revenue producer-they
will conclude that the cry against the
majority party I'm Congress was not so
worthy as it seemed to be.
And when the American people learn
the truth, they can be depended on to
guide themselves by it.
