COUNTRY SHOWS
Big IMPROVEMENTS

The Odell party, which visited
Montpelier last week, and went
from here to Star valley and on to
Idaho Falls, arrived in Salt Lake
last Saturday evening, having cover
ed a distance of 700 miles in the
big Franklin auto without a mis-
hap. In talking to a representative
of the Deseret News regarding the
trip, member of the party said
"While the railroad men are in
terested mostly in figures and good
rates, they were certainly as much
interested as the other members of
our party could be in noting the
conditions that have oc-
CURED within the past five years,
and it goes without saying, not
only from personal observation but
from what we were told by the
many farmers and other men of af-
fairs en- route, that while the acre.
age has increased in the past five
years possibly 20 to % l.a per cent
that the improved conditions of the
farmers and ranchers are exceeding
ly noticeable and that the crop con-
ditions of this year, referring
especially to wheat, oats, barley,
potatoes and sugar beets, are
phenomenal, and if the observations
made by the party, together with
the information given, is to be re,
lied upon, there will be at least ar
increase of anywhere from 25 to 5C
per cent in most Of the localities II
the result of this years harvest, al
against any prior year. My orOI
will be a quarter larger; | shall hav'
twice as much to harvest this yea
as l did last year and if the price
are only right, the farmers ought 4
be in good condition. were the re
mards frequently heard.
''Mr. Garret, assistant genera
freight agent of the Uuion Pacific
may recommend the construction o
Il railroad from Alexander in tn
north TO Preston on the south som
35 miles, as being exceedingly bene
fetal. Between the two point
there are at least 1000 people
They have to haul their products
IN either direction, III miles
That is almost too far tor farme
to haul his goods with profit and
road may be built in there.
"There is more water rnnnin
down the south fork of the Snak

Utah combined, and the night W
we're there, Aug 2. we were advised

that we expect to establish a differ

value of wheat, and that we favor se-

Remained En- Mules
Carcass Six Hours.

Bart Brown, Dung man who re-
sides at Gum Leg, in the county of
Young Harris, Ga., has had an expert
ence similar to that undergone by the
prophet Jonah, who remained for
many hours in whales belly after
being swallowed by the great fi,h. In
stead Of being in whales belly, Burt
Brown Was in the belly Of mule, and
he remained there six hours. and still
lives to tell the tale.
Burt Browns novel experience was
the result Of a practical joke played
on him by half dozen companions
All Of them were drinking, and it is
said that Burt Brown was practically
overcome by the "Mountain Dew" he
had been imbibins. AS the party
passed down the road near Gum Log
one IF the m noticed the carcass Of a
large mule which had just died by the
road side. The mule was called "Old
Hump Back" and had carried the
mail from Brasstown to Young Harris
for seven years.
Burt Brown collapsed as he and his
friends passed "Old Hump Back's''
carcass. AS Brown fell one of tho
party suggested that he be put in the
carcass of the mule and sewed up.
The suggestion appealed to the humor
of the drinkers, and they went to
work with knives and soon had "Old
Hump Backj' prepared for the :ecep-
tion of Brown. The unconscious man
was then placed in the carcass and
the skin sewed up.
Brown came to after being in the
mule about four hours and began to
utter screams which had a gruesome
sound coming from dead mule. Sey-
eral persons who passed were nearly
frightened out of their wits by the
screams which Brown, escased in
"Old Hump Backs" carcass, uttered,
and they ran for dear life.
At last two men passed who were
not easily frightened and they decided
to investigate. They soon found that
there was man in the mules body,
and after they cut the stitches Brown
crawled out, bloody from head to foot,
but cold, sober and badly frightened.
Brown swears he has gone on the
water wagon for keeps, but VOWS to
get even with his chums who sewed
him up in "Old Hump Back" He
says that he had just the same ''experi-
ence as Jonah, only it was not as fast
sailing. Constitution.

ABOUT TRACK sPRINKLINo.

The matter of whether the street car company shall be required to sprin- sle it's tracks in this city is now be- tween council committee with May or Waters added, and the car com pany.
 With as much rain as there has pre- walled in this section recently the dust from the cars on Central avenue and on ouachlta and Park and Whit tingto avenues is nuisance to the public.
 A great cloud of dust arises in the trail of the swift running cars, blind ing those about. as we'll as making it very disagreeable within the cars.
 If it requires three sprinklings. or even six sprinxlings each day to pre- went this condition the car company should make them.
 Hot Springs feels no especial an fagonism to its utility corporations. but the city and the citizens have a right to expect the corporations to do all they can to help the city.
 It is said the car company argues that 1t does not have to srinkle it's trackage only where the city sprinkles the streets. That is no answer to this question. If the city had the money 1t would care for its streets properly. and would ask the car comany noth- ing.
 As things stand the car company is exercising rights and privileges that are renumeratiye. and it owes some- thing to the cty which will be unpaid until 1t properly sprinkles the fua frackage in this city every day and as many times each day as the circum- stances require.
