time that the trouble should be settled.
He declared that the boys had asked him
to hand the chief deputy a bunch" so
ne took great pleasure in doing so.
With that Sheriff Sharp handed Mr..
White a box, which when opened. was
found To contain a beautiful gold badge
OF office, almost identical with the one
presented 10 the sheriff some time ago.
IT. was engraved as follows: Chief Depu-
~ sheriff of Salt Lake County"
Mr.. White, before opening the box and
during the sberiT's remarks, was OF the

what the box contained. lie was over
come wIth surprise but managed TO cX-
press his appreciation OF the gift and
thanked his associates heartily for the
same.

1t Is claimed by those who have

try and know whereof they speak,
that the cost of living in the south
Is less than any other part of the
country, that while man can live
at anywhere from 81 90 to So 90 a
day at hotels in the south. it takes
from $3.50 to $3.50 in the west
and from So 80 to $500 in the east
This being the case with reference
to travelling men, it naturally fol
lows that for the resident, the cost
OF living III the south must be much
less than m any other part of the
big country of ours, and this if
known, ought to be a great induce
ment to attract people to the south
during these times of high prices

Of fire departments and fire losses in
the largest 1853 cities of the country
recently issued an interesting report
CD the subject.
In Berlin it costs only 26 cents a
year, in London 19 cents and inMilan
II cents to sleep easily. The United
States geological survey has made
computations to show that this differ
enoa exists because building restric-
tons in Europe are closer than in this
country, because there are more fire
proof buildings and because there
abe cost of maintaining fire depart
hents is not so high.
When it comes to conserving the
countrys assets the toll of fire teaches
a powerful lesson. During 1907 the
largest 1856 American cities lost more
than 100000 through fires, with in
,surance amounting to $42,000,000. 1t
