CITY DUMP ON FIRE
Fire Department Called to Fight Flames
Which Threatened Homes.

Which Threatened Homes
The fire department was called out
late Thursday afternoon to fight a
small blaze at the city dump at the foot
or South street. The fire had been
started by boys who sought to burn
up refuse and it burned with such rapi-
dity that it was feared that some of
the houses along the lake would catch
fire from the sparks. 1t became nee
essary to run line of hose before the
department could get the fire under
control. There was no loss as result
OF the blaze but the boys in the neigh
borhood have ben warned not to start
any more fires on the dump.

Nothing short of omniscience can
grasp the value of the farm products
of this year is the statement of the
secretary of agriculture in his annual
report for 1910. At no time in the
worlds history has country produced
farm products within one year with 4
value reaching G,000.000, which Is;
the value of the agricultural products
of the country from 1910. The value
of farm products from 1899 to the pres
ent year has been progressing without
interruption. If the value of the prod
ucts of 1899 is placed at 100. the value
for this years is 1S9, or almost dou-
bic the value for the census year
eleven years ago. During this period
of unexampled agricultural production,
a period of twelve years, during which
the farmers of the country have stead
lily advanced in prosperity and wealth
and in economic independence, in in

culture, the total value of farm prod

THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING MARCH 2 1910
A New JUVENILE STORY by SEYMOUR EATON, Auth
by G.. III. TWELVETREES

I know by many things he did
That he has heaps of wisdom hid
Somewhere behind those bonnie eyes
That look so blue and kind and wise
But declare it's new to me
His knowledge of machinery"
DO you mean to say" the kite boy said
THAT he won t fall and break his head?''
The Prince replied as he viewed the sky
With favorite field glass at his eye
That he could see in clustering gale
The kite and cat on their homeward sail;
lin stiff and stormy breeze" he said,
But Muffles steering straight ahead. -
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-03-27

For we are five Red Riding Hoods
And we mean to picnic in these woods
And maybe hunt for hidden gold
And perhaps we III have our fortunes told
Then all five laughed and made ring
And asked for Muffles for their king
And danced around as the boys had done
And sang their songs and made lots of fun
SCHOOL boys and girls have lots of play
When schools dismissed for holiday;
But the play that day at the Gypsy tent,
And the way that afternoon was spent,
And the games they had and the tricks they
played,
And the basket lunch eaten in the shade,
And the fun with Muffles when his eyes of blue
Controlled the girls and looked them through
And made them stand, or sit, or run,
Or sing, or laugh; all just in fun;
And the swing that the Jap and Dutchy made,
And Captain Dinkey lemonade,
And the prizes given by Domino
For walking fastest heel and toe,
And then the fortune telling play
Which the Prince and Mufles gave that day
Made the greatest picnic ever seen;
Quite good enough for king and queen.
But the play that pleased the girls the best
That they enjoyed more than all the rest,
Was dress parade in Indian file
Along path for half mile
Each clothed in Gypsy cloak and hat
And iii the lead the famous cat
With purple cloak trimmed all in gold,
AS they marched towards the cabin ol5

THE kite went up above the trees
And tossed and turned in the summer breeze;
Then scared around a time or two,
Then got up speed and off it flew
Beyond the hills and valleys green
Till only the smallest speck was seen;
Then out of sight behind cloud
And mile or two from the little crowd
Who stood together wondering when
They d ever see that cat again.
Dinkey was scared too much to speak
And the Jap was saying words in Greek

And the Prince was right for soon they saw
The kite oerhead and Muffles' paw
Guiding the rudder as they whirled in space
To find an easy landing place.
They landed safely on the green;
This famous cat and the kite machine.
A CHEER went up from every lad,
And the cat was hugged by Dinkey' Dadd,
And Dutchy stood on his head a bit,
And the little Jap had laughing ft :,
And the farmer boy caught Domino
And kissed him twice then let him go;

And Dutohy scolded the boy whose kite
Had carried Muffles out o. sight.
But Domino was calm and kind
And the loss Of Muffles didn't mind;
1.-The adventure new and smart he said,
THAT cat of mine has master head;
He knows the maps Of geography,
And the famous pictures of history;
He can read a little and some words spell.
And arithmetic he knows quite well;
Of course not every kind of rule
Like boys and girls who go to school;
But he can count and multiply
And add column four figures high.

Then all five danced in jolly ring
With Muffles centered king.
JUST as the five were whirling round
Five school girls came to the camping ground
In bonnets red and aprons gray
With basket lunch TO spend the day

And school dismissed and out of sight
We've put our books till tomorrow night.

Not an encouraging answer for a

starlit conversation on the terrace
have brought Mr.. Jones' resolution
to the sticking point.

at tender talk just as they reach the
Maison Lohobiague, on the third floor
of which Miss Burke and Belinda
lodge. II should like" s~entimentally,
"to see the apartment where you
spend your time, if I might"
"The apartment where 1 spend my
