BEEF BAR0Ns INDICTED

1t has been left to the State of
New Jersey to find a way to open
the prison doors for the beef
barons. On February, 18th the
grand jury in Jersey City brought
in indictments against eighteen
multi-millionaires, all officers and
directors of the National Packing
Company. This company is the
backbone of the beef trust, and the
earnest and energetic way in which
the New Jersey courts are going
for the beef barons augurs well for
speedy trials and convictions under
the common law of conspiracy.
Conviction under this law carries a
penalty of three years in the peni-
tentiary.
New Jersey is to be commended
for the promptness in which her
courts have taken action, in bringing
the beef trust magnates to the bar
of justice to answer the charge of
conspiracy, in creating a false short
age of meats and raising prices be-
yond the peoples ability to pur-
chase, while at the same time hav-
ing an accumulation of meat in cold
storage to last for months.
New Jerseys example should be
a help to the government in the
preparation of its case against the
beef trust, and perhaps Attorney
Wickersham may see some way now
to bring the beef barons into the
Federal court.

The Globe Chamber of Commerce

is very anxious to bring trade re-
lations between the valley and that
city closer together and proposes
to reorganize, with the valley incor-
porated, calling it the Graham and
Gila County Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce has done
wonders for Globe and by reorganiz-
ing here and uniting the two, it will
make the strongest commercial or
ganization in the Territory. In
unity their is strength. Let us
write and build up a business club
that will be felt all over the coun-
try. Even should other sections
decide not to join this progressive
movement, Stafford and Globe could
organize a Chamber of Commerce
that would be hummer.

THOSE "INTERvIEWs"

If Bro. Snow is as authentic in
his statement that he is running the
official organ" of the st. Joseph
Stake, as his published statement of
interviews is concerning the con-
solidation of Graham and Gila coun-
ties, it would cause an Ananias to
pause and wonder. At least three
of the gentlemen quoted by Bro.
Snow have insured us, emphatically,
hat they were misquoted, in fact
they were not interviewed for pub
lication at all, but what they did
say was so distorted and twisted
that it could not be recognized.
The most emphatic one to denounce
his purported interview as false,
was the editor of the Daily Globe.
He did have a talk with some valley
gentlemen on the train and their
conversation, as taken down in short
hand on that occasion, regarding
this portion of the valley and its
people, as soon as it is copied and
published, will make interesting
reading. Mr.. Ellis did not say that
Mr.. Birdno wrote the article that
was published in the Daily Globe.
Bro. Snow seems to have appoint
ed himself as a special guardian of
the people of this county. We think
this is all right, but are afraid he is
taking himself altogether too seri-
ously. Were not this the case Salt
Lake would have collapsed when he
left there, Fake interviews are not
calculated to establish confidence.

CHARGE EDITOR WITH LIBEL
United States Authorities Take

Over Ship Subsidy.

Washington, d. C.-John A. Pen
ton of Cleveland, secretary Of the
Merchant Marine league and editor
Of a monthly pamphlet, which the
league publishes in Cleveland in the
interests of ship subsidy legislation,
was arrested here on a charge OF
criminal libel. The arrest was made
as Penton was leaving the house Of
representatives building. 1t was on a
secret indictment, returned March 20.
The complainant is Representative
Steenerson of Minnesota, who was at
tackled in the leagues pamphlet and
in letters written by agents of the
league in Cleveland.
The arrest of Penton was not the
only interesting incident of the comic
opera congressional investigation
which opened. The Merchant Marine
league of Cleveland has charged that
Representative Steenerson of Mime
sofa and Representative Justan Kus-
terman of Wisconsin have opposed
ship subsidy legislation because they
have been corrupted by foreign ship
interests. On the other hand, Steen-
erson has charged that Myron T. Her
rick and other Clevelanders in the
league favor ship subsidy because
they would profit financially by such
legislation.

and the forget-it water for nine"
In some not distant prehistoric time
the space now occupied by the des-
ert was the head of the Gulf of Cal
ifornia. The water line on the rocks
and the beach line in the sands can
still be plainly seen. Over the floor
of the desert are scattered myriads of
shells of water mollusks. The mouth
of the Colorado river was then in
the neighborhood of Yuma. Ariz., 60
miles north of it's present junction
with the gulf. At the present time
the river is discharging annually into
the gulf enough of the Sits secured
out of the great canyons in Utah and
Arizona to cover a square mile So feet
deep.
Water is not the only element of ma
ture which has had hand in Gre
ating this the most arid desert in
| North America. The wind has done
it's share as a sculptor and transporter
Of soil. Sweeping down through the
northern pass it carries countless tons
of the sand deposited there by group
of small streams toward the south
east, throwing it up into great sand
dunes along the southeastern edge of
or seven miles wide and approximate
ly so miles long. The movement of
| the sands across the desert is almost
| constant at certain seasons of the
year, when the wind is from the
north. The clouds of sand can be
seen approaching while they are yet a
great way of.
The erosive power of these tremen-
dous sand blasts is incalculable. Dense
and resistant rocks are deeply etched
,. 1t is necessary to place stones around
the bases of the telegraph poles along
the Southern Pacific railroad, other
wise they would be felled by the cut
ting edge of the sand stream. The
sand etches off the softer parts Of
the wood, leaving the knots and hard
er rings in strong relief, erodes the
fshplates and bolts of the railway
track and polishes and then cuts
| through as by acid tin cans strewn
along the track.
A local hurricane which occurs OF
the east coast Of Lower California in
the origin of its name, eel Cordonaso,"
has a connection with Oliver Crom-
well. There is legend among the
people of that section that the lord
protector once visited that coast in
the course of the seventeenth century
and ravaged # so severely as a buc.
cancer that when it fell to them to
name the hurricane they could think
of nothing so suggestive of its pow
ers Of depreciation as Cromwell's visit,
and named it accordingly.
There is excuse enough for the bar
renness Of the desert, as the rainfall
is an unknown quantity. 1t is extreme.
ly capricious. Sometimes every sea-
son of the year will be accompanied
| by fall of rain. Occasionally it will
forget to fall at any season. It has
been known to rain when no clouds
were visible. In this strange coun.
try rain is a marked occurrence.
