cupied one of the most prominent
corners of Las Vegas, directly op-
posite the park and across the
street from the Nevada hotel. 1t

modern structures in this city.
The guests at the Nevada hotel,
opposite, were thrown into panic
and crowded into the street, re-
turning to their rooms only when
it was apparent that the fire was
under control.

Americans in Mexico.

The United States is deeply inter-
ested in the peace negotiations now
going on in Mexico. America hopes
the recent revolution will result in the
establishment of a stable and perman-
ent government. The recent history
of Mexico has been one of dissatisfac-
ton and unrest and it has been evident
for some time that there were many
reasons for a change in the admins
tration.
Uncle Sam has wisely refrained from
mixing in the internal affairs of Mexico,
leaving the people of that country to
settle their own troubles, but there are
hundreds of citizens of the United
States who have made heavy invest
ments there and are vitality interested
in the outcome of the present negotia-
tions. With change in the admins
tration there may be danger that theil
interests will suffer.
1t will be the duty of the Unite
States government to see that they arr
given just protection. At the same
time it must be remembered that thos'
Americans who have gone into Mexico
have done so with the full understand
ing of the chances they took and the.
must not expect this country to b
eager to become involved in any seri
Gus complications in their behalf

life not particularly enjoyable of con-
temptation even by those fanatics and
dreamers whose visionary ideas served
to bring them about.
For that reason the report recently
issued by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue of the u. S. Government
should make interesting reading for the
progressive business men and other
voters of Salt Lake and Utah, who on
June 9th will be called upon to save
both city and state from the brilliant
coterie of bigoted agitators who are
now endeavoring to fasten another bur-
den to backs already strained to the
limit.
1.-The Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enee is responsible for all internal tax
stamps issued in the different states.
Every "blind Pig and dive keeper
operating in the prohibition areas of the
country must use the government S
internal revenue stamps. Failure to so
protect himself would mean raid by
Uncle Sans officers. These internal
revenue stamps then will count for the
major portion of the illicit sellers of
liquor in those states of the Union
where prohibition laws are on the
statute books and where earnest efforts
are made to enforce them. There are
| Just nine states of the country with
absolute prohibition-A Alabama, Maine,
North Dakota, Georgia, Mississippi,
Oklahoma, Kansas, North Carolina and
Tennessee.
"For the year ending June 80, 1910,
Alabama had 1149 illicit liquor dealers
in possession of government tax stamps
Maine had 1880, North Dakota 1870
Georgia 1925, Mississippi 891, Okla
homa 1S43, Kansas liza, North Caro-
lima 1241 and Tennessee 1856.
"There's prohibition for you, gentle
men.
Prohibition for regulated, Licensed
saloons and license for from 891 to 184;
blind pigs and back alley dives.

Whinns of Parrots.

1T is odd," said the bird store
keeper, "but it is true, how people
come into a bird store and expect to
open up q conversation with parrot
offhand. They fail and then make up
their mind that the parrot is worthless.
This will apply to a majority of seekers
after a talking parrot. They do not
give the bird credit for the sense it
actually possesses. There are parrots
valued at anywhere from $50 to $500
that will not be coaxed into CONVERSE
ton with a stranger nor while he is
present, although they are the very
best of takers. Parrots often refuse
to perform when there are purchasers
looking on, but once the store is clear
of them they will chatter away through
their whole vocabulary as if their very
lives depended on their being heard.
This obstinacy often spoils good sales.
Most parrots will talk to a girl or wo-
man much quicker and freer than to a
boy or q man."-Browning's Monthly.

A singular thing about ostriches is
the way they bring up their babies.
To begin with, there are good many
eggs in the nest dug out of the hot
sand, but the eggs were laid by diff
ferent mothers. Ostriches do not lay
eggs every day, and, being far apart.
they would not hatch together. When
the nest is prepared, therefore, all the
ladies in the neighborhood are invited
to contribute an egg apiece, the hostess
returning the favor in due time.
Ostrich eggs are delicious. One
weighs three pounds, or is equal to a
dozen of a hens. They are very con-
venient, too, for the hunters in the
desert. They not only furnish a de-
lightful meal, but a dish to cook in.
The shell is hard and thick, and the
egg is set on the fire, hole is broken
in the top, it is stirred with a stick,
and when it is done the saucepan
serves as a dish as well.-New York
Tribune.

Some Readable Statistics.

The following article taken from
Goodwin's Weekly, (Salt Lake, has
quite a bearing on the local option
question in this state, which promises
to be opened in a number of counties
again this fall. Utah is about to vote
on the prohibition question, and the
article is written to show that prohibi-
ton does not prohibit, and no section
knows it better than Central Idaho:
"Aside from fleeing glimpse now
and then OF the beer kegs themselves,
there is nothing so disturbing to the
average prohibitionist bent on his per.
iodical campaign of individual and mum
cipal moral purity and soul salvation as
view of some of the figures abound
ing in every community Indicative o.
the havoc wrought by the abolishmen
of legalized, licensed and regulated
liquor traffic and the substitution there
for of the cluster of dives and ''blint
pig" which, since the passage of tn,
first prohibition law in the Unitet
States, has followed in the odorou
wake of every anti-saloon movement il
the country.

as possible, particularly those dealing

Another Revenue Source.
British Weekly

Tariff for revenue only" will
scarcely be needed at all if the pro-
posed income tax gets national endorse
ment, as now seems to be assured.
Only half a dozen more state legisla-
lures need to endorse the proposed
amendment before the president can
proclaim it and congress can pass bill
to carry its provisions into effect.
This will result in new and great reve-
nue. possibilities.
1t is estimated that the proposed
new measure will bring in revenue
of from 100000, 900 to 100000, 900,
which, added to the present corpora
ton tax, which has been held valid, will
give nearly $3.50, O00,000 toward the
government expense fund. 1t is
thought that the import tax can Their
be cut in half, as the internal revenue
tax, with the corporation and income
tax, will largely meet government
needs.
There has been a long fight for the
proposed amendment, but it is steadily
gaining, and is likely to receive the re
quired number of state endorsement
before the close of the next regula
session of congress. Should its prin
ciples not then be promptly enacted
into law, it will doubtless be made al
issue in the next presidential campaign
Meanwhile, the tariff will become NOR
for protection and less for prospective
revenue only. Teller.
