ASSAY OFFICE IS
NEEDED IN WEST
Move 10 Establish Only
Central Office IS Held
Unfair.

i. L. EdredEc, Jr., in charge OF the
local assay office. said yesterday. epropos
of the recon, recommendation Of Franklin
MacVcaCh. treasurer Of the United states.
that all assay offices be abolished With
the exception OF the ono in New York
that such action would prove detrt-
ment TO the people of the west and espe-
cially tho small minc owner.
While il Is true that the Salt Lake
office has not paid expenses" said Mr..
Eidredco. III is equally true jhsr many
other departments or tho government
service are similarly DELINQUENT, Why
not abolish the posIofficc department on
the same ground? The assay office. Ii ke
tno postotfce is maintained for the pub
lie good, regardless OF the fact that they
do not paw expenses.
Small mine owners can bring their
bullion 10 the local assay office and re-
alizc 90 per cent OF its value the same
DAY Without the local office month
would be consumed in sending tho bullion
to tho New York office and receiving the
value thereof. Inasmuch az many OF the
smaller mines are operated on close mar
Eins this advantage is highly important
TO them.
Before the ASSAY office was estab-
lisned many OF tho miners sold their bull
lion to bullion dealers for much less than
full value. Today they realize fun value
less the small fraction necessary for the
expense of this office"

Church of the Redeemer.
nifty

(Rev. Edw. F'ulenwider, Pastor).
The following program of divine
services has been arranged for the
Lutheran Church of the Redeemer
next Sunday:
II a. m.-The regular morning SER
vice. The pastor will preach on the
subject: "Called Back to the Old
Scenes" In Galilee the disciples were
enthusiastic followers of Jesus; in
Jerusalem they lost their faith and
enthusiasm. Back in Galilee after the
experience in Jerusalem they found a
greater Christ. Here is parable of
life. How often do we find our re-
Hgious ideas Of youth and our burn
ing enthusiasm for the Carist Of Cali
lee failing US when we come into con-
tact with the Jerusalem of worldly
experience This is the great danger
period of the Christian life. Here a
man will either become a stronger
and better Christian, or drift away
from Christ and the church entirely.
Jesus, for our gooo, would call US
back to the open and teachable spirit
Of youth. This is what Jesus meant
when He said: whatsoever shall not
receive the kingdom of God as a little
child shall in 10 wise enter therein. -
D. m.-There will be a song SER
vice. The text of the sermon will be
Matt. 28:11-15: "Now when they were
going, behold, some of the watch came
into the city, and showed unto The
chief priests all the things that were
done. And when they were assem-
bled with the elders, and had taken
counsel, they gave large money unto
the soldiers, saying, say ye, his dis
ciples came by night and stole him
away while we slept And if this
come to the governors ears, we will
persuade hi mand secure you.
So they took the money, and
did as they were taught" The
Resurrection is the foundation stone
Of the Christian religion. 1t is in
teresting and significant to note that
the first attempt to discredit it was
an Infamous conspiracy. Practical
lessons will be presented in both ser
mons.
The public is cordially invited to
all services.
