of the state text book commission
in changing the books to he used
in the public schools.
II the commission did nothing
but its duty under the law, it
needs no defense and we refuse to

1t a rule to consign such matter to
the flames.
II the commission violated the
law. no one-sided statement of
their action will set its members
right before the people. State
officers who d.a y fat salaries from
the people have no right TO work
the press of the state. For that
aud other reasons, Mr.. Bray,

AUTO TRUCK FINDS TOO MUCH DUST

Richard Allen arrived here
last Sunday from TonVpah with a
25-horse power gasoline auto
truck with the intention of
engaging in the transportation of
freight between Palisade and
Eureka. He started out to the
former place Tuesday but before
reaching Palisade found the deep
dust was too much of a handicap
for his low built machine. J.

%alisade with his auto, and Mr..
Allen has decided not to attempt
to runshis truck over the road
again, but will look for another
field where there is less dust and
sand on the roads. He came up
from Palisade Friday with Mr..
Gilbert. but left his auto truck
there. Sentinel.

COMET NOW VISIBLE
TO THE NAKED EYE

The new comet 1911 discovered
at Lick Observatory on the sixth
of last July. may now be seen by
the naked eye. says Alfred
Rordamer, a Salt Lake astronomer.
1t is nearly of the fifth magnitude
and appears in the Eastern, sky
near the sewn stars shortly after
Il clock in the morning and
moves toward the southwest. The
comet and nucleus are dis
tinguishable but the tail is very
faint. It is expected that the
comet will shortly become more
brilliant and make a splendid
spectacle. The planet Venus is
pow visible in daylight and one of
may see it by standing in a shade "
at about.3 o'clock in the afternoon
and looking directely south about
half "ay between the zenith and
horizon. With the aid of a small
telescope or opera glass it appears
as a crescent or very young moon.

MINING FOR MEN

No feat Of mining can pat the
same spirit into the work as that
which is set on foot to accomplish
the rescue of an entombed man.
No one who has ever been present
at mine catastrophe can fail t.
feel, while reading of the event
the sentiment that pervaded the
rescue party at the White Oak
MINE near Joplin. Missouri when
Jose. Clary was saved from the
agony of slow death in a caved
drift. Every moment of the
worSmen is of the heroic order.
The rescue of Clary is an event
that will doubtless save in some
future situation of like moment.
The miner. was cutoff in a drift and
remained three days in totaI
silence and darkness, without foot
AID in some danger of rising
water. His protection was one of
those limestone strata that
frequently overlie the mineralized
blanket formation in the Joplin
district constituting safe roof
for his prison. Four drill holes
were put down by the rescuers in
the expectation of cutting into the
drift, and the last of these brought
them into communication with the
man below. 1t was afterwards
discovered that one of the earlier
holes also cut the drift but some
how communication was not estab-
Iished. The depth of the drift is
said to have been 78 feet. While
the drilling was in progress, a
shaft was being sunk and this
reached the level some hours after
the fourth hole passed through the
roof of the cave. Food, fresh
water and stimulants were low
cred through the drill hole and
the rescuers sent down rope
which Clary tied about his aist to
use in the event that water rose
too high in the drift. The hole
was used chiefly as a speaking
tube after this, The rescued man
was very wet from foundering
about in the water. Mining

A 5000 TAKE-OFF
ON ALFALFA

We hear a good deal about the
value of an alfalfa crop. Some
people never let up blowing about
it, They tell you if you feed it to
your work team you wont have to
feed grain to keep them fat that it
is worth pound for pound as much
as bran for feeding milk COWS;
that it is fine for feeding beef
cattle, and also will tell you about
the immense crop you can make.
20 come off. Give us a rest.
1t makes us tired. Isn't there
another side?"
In May just at the time you
ought to be fixing your bitches or
something of that kind you have to
get out into the field and cut the
first crop. 1t sort of worries you
but you have to do it. Then
about the end of June just wien
you want to go fishing there's
an Jther crop of alfalfa to be cut
and you feel as If you ought to
rest in the shade along about the
end Of that month but you have
to go get busy with that alfalfa
again. Along about the first of
September you want to go to camp
meeting, swop yarns, have good
time and in going you have gotten
religion. But you can't. there is
that doggoned alfalfa again. In
October you want to go and visit
your wife's kinfolks or maybe to
tine county fair and spend some Of
your money, for you are about
done with most other crops hut
you have to harvest annther crop
of this internal alfalfa.
In November in desperation you
turn the cattle in on the field and

Markham makes wall about
the man with the hoe. He ought

Seven British War Craft Almost Sink
During Speed Trials.

London, July 6.-Seven OF Great
Britain's newest oceangoing torpedo
boat destroyers have been put out of
action by overstraining their hulls
while under full speed trials in the
heavy sea of the English channel
The trouble was the result OF the
tremendous vibration of the powerful
engines driving the little warships at
a speed of twenty-eight knots through
the rough water. The rivets of the
plates were started in all directions,
opening gaps, which caused the water
to pour into the oil bunkers and rem
dering the fuel useless. But for quick
work in closing the seams the vessels
would have sunk.
