BIGAMY CASE IS IGNORED

The grand jury held session
last evening to consider the case
Of Clara E. Coleman vs.. Rufus A .
Coleman, whom she charged with
bigsmy in marrying Marion Drew
without first obtaining divorce
from her. 1t would seem from
the evidence in the case that Cole
man was a gay old sport. as he has
been married three times and II is
not believed that he obtained a
divorce from either wife No. or
No.2. After hearing the eVi-

charge.

DEATH VALLEY CONTAINS
GEhU|NE BLOOD STONES

Several Salt Lake mining men
have n property in Death Valley
that contains the genuine blood
stone so highly priced for jewelry
purposes. The supply of this
material heretofore has come ex-
clusively from abroad and speci-
mems submitted to Maynard Bixby
the local mineralogist have been
pronounced the real article. Mr..
Bixby will submit these to the
finishing process to dete. mine their
commercial quality. There can be
no question of the quantity.
The stone is found within an old
crater and where it differs as yet
from the foreign article is in the
quantity of blood red color. The
imported stone has inumerable
small blood specks while the Death
Valley product has larger blot ches
Of the red in the Enthusiastically
beautiful dark green matrix. Mr..
Bixhy stated Monday that this was
the first instance in his experience
where the blood stone is to be
found in the United States.-Salt

POPULAR ELECTION
Of NINE INSPECTOR

Ane Onlte0 0IAte0 bureau OF
mines has published . statement BY
Doctor Holmes. its director, Of
which the following is the gist:
"The selection Of state mines in
spectors by popular vote must be
stopped If there is to be a reduc-
ton Of accidents in the coal and
metal mines of the United States.
The state mine inspector should
have greater permanence in Office
and freedom from political and
outside influences. Their selec-
tion and continuance in office
should depend upon their training
and experience. They should be
appointed upon the recommends
ton Of such a board from the
applicants that have shown the
highest skill and best experience.
Under no circumstances should
they be selected by popular vote.
In other words. politics should
have nothing whatever to do with
their selection or their continuance
in Office. The inspectors should
have a better support in the way
of compensation. In fact. the
salaries and other conditions
should be such as to enable the
state to secure the best possible
type Of men for this important
work."
Upon the precise ~ethod of
selecting mine inspectors there
may be difference Of opinion, but
upon the broad princip al that such
inspectors should not be elected by
popular votes. there ougth 10 be
nothing but unanimity in it's favor.
Even the labor unions ought to see
tina The movement toward
legislation for the prevention of
mine accidents is eadily gaining
ground New legislation in that
direction is now under considera
ton in several states. 1t is deeply
to be regretted that efforts to make
the mine inspectors elective are
strongly in evil 1ence in several of
the states. Everyone who has
the welfare Of the mining industry
at heart should exert himself to
defeat this nj ischievous movement.
The committee on uniform leRisla-
ton for the prevention Of mine
accidents that made a report last
fall was most emphatic upon the
point that the keystone of progl ess
Is an adequate system of mine in
spection, and that the inspectors
should he appointed, not elected.
The committee said, moreover |:
ITO secure such system of mine
inspection the. states must appro
pirate a good deal more money
than any has yet DONE" Upon
these points there cannot be any
difference Of opinion among intelli-
gent mining men. The United
State bureau of mines will do a
good work in promulgating these
principles and bringing them to
the attention o. the state legisla-
ton with the Endorsement of the
federal government Engineering
and Mining Journal.

The Defeat Of Reciprocity

Canada's overwhelming rejection OF
the proposed reciprocal trade agree
ment with the United States simply
amounts, in the last analysis TO an
attempt to defy a principle OF the law
of economics that IL as ancient and
immutable as trade itself. Canada
has tried TO vote out OF existence the
fact that she is a part of the great
continent of America and dependent
upon its physical resources for her
very being She has preferred to be-
lieve that she is part Of the great
British empire and that her most In
innate business relations must be
maintained across the sea. She has

help in any way In the nation build
ing she is now at work at and lost
golden opportunity TO establish her
self forever in continental trade pol
Icy that some day when she has built
her nation she will be only too glad
to sue for.
The pity OF II Is. not merely that
Canada should have voted down reel
procity. because honest men may diff.
fer about the wisdom OF such a pro
position and moreover the question
apparently decided yesterday might
be revived at some later time and dis
cussed anew without prejudice-the
pity OF II Is that our neighbors across
the line have TO such great extent
been led to vote against reciprocity
because OF distrust OF the sincerity OF
the United States government and
people in proposing Il. The pity OF II
is that all through the campaign just
closed the Opposition has literally
poisoned the popular mind with the
most atrocious Misrepresentation oil
the attitude OF the American people
toward Canada and the Canadian peo
pie and their interests. II does mo-
