The best piece of news for our
readers is that the concrete founda-
ton for the tabernacle is all ready
for the superstructure; the lumber
for the platform is all on the
ground and cut to measure, ready
to be adjusted to the steel uprights
and the steel and thing for the
roof is due to-day.
Rev. A. M. Seville, of Her cula-
neum, was in town several days
of this week. He was elected
President of the Pennington Dis

consult in relation to the work for
the next year and to transact some
private business,

The refreshing rains Of the past

abundant prosperity and happi-
ness.
Rev. w. J. Heys,of Dexter, Mo-,
writes that he expects to come to
the Methodist Encampment and
bring a company of twenty boy
scouts to enjoy the meeting and
the afternoon amusements which
are offered in the general program
for the encampment. We hope
the Flat River boy scouts will
come over for at least a part Of the
encampment.
MI. w. G. Stokes, of Kenneth,
has written that he wants his tent
ready on the encampment grounds
by July 10th, as he expects to be
here about that time, and remain
through the meeting and perhaps
to the list or middle of September.
That mans head is level. He is
going to enjoy a vacation with his
family.
Rev. B. w. Bynum of Belle
view says: "Have my tent ready
for the first day of the encamp-
ment." He expects to take in the
Preachers Institute and part of
the camp meeting, and his family
will probably remain through all
three of the meetings.
A note from Mr.. Howard A.
Butler, President of the st. Louis
Epworth League Union, informs
us that the Epworth Leaguers will
attend the league conference about
100 strong, from August I'd to 9th.
1t is announced that some of
the Arcadia and Ironton boys will
meet at Fort Hill Thursday after
noon to organize a uniform drill
corps, and the boy scouts.
1t is currently reported in town
that me evening last week a row
occurred in the vicinity of the
restaurant, and when a deputy
sheriff tried to quiet the parties,
some n of them got a rifle and
gave the deputy sheriff marching
orders. How long are the people
of Arcadia Valley to submit to the
reign of such characters? Are we
going to continue to invite people
to come to the valley only to be
terrorized by a set Of drunken
men? 1t has come to such a pass
now that decent respectable
women are afraid to go to the
post Office If they have to pass the
den of the blind tiger. If there is
power in the law and those en-
trusted with its administration, let
us have a decent enforcement of
it. If not, let US turn the whole
matter over to the lawless element
and let them override all law and
decency and order, and let us say
we can't help ourselves. Haven't
we had enough Of it? x.

A. B. Halbrook, of Gilman, was
accidentally shot and instantly
killed on Bee Fork last Tuesday
morning, by his 7-year-old boy,
with a % caliber rifle. Mr.. Hal
brook was head sawyer at the
Botkin sawmill, situated near
Gilman. Tuesday he in company
with j. NJ. Botkin and others came
to Bee Fork on a fishing expedi-
ton. MI. Halbrook, his little boy
and one of Mr.. Botkin's little boys
were fishing in a drift, while the
other members of the party were
still farther down the river. Hal
brook discovered a large frog and
told the boy to reach him his gun
and he would kill it for him. After
killing the frog Halbrook returned
the gun to the boy and went into
the creek to get it. The little boy
pumped another cartridge into the
gun and undertook to let the ham,
mer down, allowing it to fire, and
shot his papa under the right
arm. Halbrcok followed and ran
a little ways and fell dead. Mr..
Halbrook was % years old and
leaves a wife and two children.
He came from near Salem, Dent
county. His father is dangerously
i'll and it was decided mott notify
him of his sons death. He was
laid to rest in the White Oak
cemetery Wednesday. To the be-
reaved we extend our heartfelt

RATE OF TAXATION.

The rate of taxation is dwclt upon
by the Smoot organ in its faultfnding
with the city administration, tho organ
insisting that there ought to have been
reduction Of four mills in the city tax
levy, but only one mill in the county
tax lavy. Inasmuch, however, as the
city is a part Of the county, and as the
raise in values affects the county levy
precisely in the same way that it af-
fects the city levy, there would ap.
pear to be the grossest stupidity, or
else the most arrsnt dishonesty, in the
argument made by that organ, espe-
cally when we sec that the city has so
much to show for money expended and
the county so little.
The city administration had made a
on the rate; the county has made no
reduction at ALL The school district
embracing the city has made the small
increase of onc-tenth of mill. The
forts during the past summer TO get
greater revenues than ever before
through a raise in the valuation In such
of the counties as the board of cquali-
zatlon pounced upon as victims. In all
the activities under the control OF the
Federal bunch. or of any of its allied
forces, the rate of taxation has been
held at the top rate; and In the Stale
4 .rrlt rf, gG'n
was made TO increase the burdens
borne by the people.
In this citys school district there
was also a slight increase; in the coun-
ty the old rate prevailed; in the city
alone there was a reduction. And yet
the city is the only taxing entity crit
icised by the Smoot organ! Apparent.
" its real quarrel with the city is for
reducing the tax rate when no other
taxing unit has done il. And, since It's
quarrel is chiefly with the city, and
since il misrePresents and eXaggerates
the local tax levy to the injury of the
city and its prospective growth, the
only conclusion possible TO arrive al is
that the Smoot organ, In its frantic
partisanship, is willing to injure Salt
Lake By falsifying the situation as to
taxation here, and by misrepresenting
in every possible way the forces that
make for progress, in its devotion to
those who maintain high rates of taxa"
ton, and in its friendship and advocacy
of the reactlonary tendencies that make
for paralysis and decay.

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

Contrary to first announcements, She
fight against prohibition in Name has
been lost, and the constitution of the
State will not be changed,
But the result is uncomfortably close;
il is so close rs TO utterly fail Of being
decisive. The contest will undoubtedly
be renewed Mt the earliest opportunity,
and will be continued until tho State
decides more pronouncedly ono way or
the other.
IL is clear that p good deal OF the
sentiment for prohibition and against 1t
took the form OF political partsanship.
4 good many Maine Republicans who
might have voted against prohibition
voted for il because the Democratic
party was against it, On the other
hand, doubtless a good many Demo
Gratis voted against prohibition because
their party opposed it, while personally
and as partisan question they
might have voted for it. And so, any
way the case may he looked at, and
considering especially the small mar
gin OF difference in the vote. II ls GER
tain that prohibition in Maine is still
an open question
4 noteworthy phase of the campaign
just finished, as reported. was that the
churches generally took an active and
open part in favor OF prohibition Ac-
cording TO report, the illicit sellers,
bootleggers, those who ran the "blind
pigs and "blind tigers lined up
with the church people in favor of pro-
hibition, for under prohibition the il.
licit sellers have the liquor trade all to
themselves.
A result which shows but few hun
dred difference i'll j vote of 10000
is simply an invitation TO continue the
struggle, and undoubtedly il will be con-
tnued, and VIII be waged even more
fiercely the next time than it Was dur.
ing the campaign which has Just closed.

QUOTATIONS ON FOODS,

We have referred heretofore 10 the
fallaciousness Of quoting foodstuffs by
wholesale in any discussion of the ac.
tual cost of living. The failure of such
procedure was distinctly, and we nav
say humorously, illustrated in table
printed yesterday morning by a Salt
Lake contemporary That table gave
Eastern (mostly Chicago quotations as
contrasted with the Salt Lake market,
claiming TO quote figures of September
last year and of the present month
Flour is quoted by the barrel here
at 1910 this year AS compared with
$3.50 last year; but no -four is sold
here by the barrel. and the quotations
are absolutely misleading.
Again, beef csrcasses are quoted as
of Chicago at II cents pound this
month, 10 cents September last wear,
and in this city probably, although
there is some doubt as TO the meaning
of the figures as given), at 81. cents
pound now compared with s cents
last year, But the buyer for the
household does not buy a carcass Of
beef, and what kind of cut of beef
can one get for cents or sls cents
a RSsiD RSsHid! hoo. c,;.,.o o-;,. :. u,,..,
probably at 9$, cents this month
compared with llai cents IN September
Of last year. In Salt Lake the price
IS quoted at II cents now and l3a4
cents September of last year. But no
retail buyer can get pork for any such
price
Muitoi is quoted here at 6 cents by
the carcass; but for the home buyer
three times 6 cents would he nearer the
mark.
Bread is quoted at cents loaf, but
it can't be bought for that price, by
retail.
Mackerel is quoted by the barrel
and Goldfish by the quintal; but such
buying is impossible except to the
wholesaler.
Coffee is quoted here at 2lI. cents;
but any one buying real coffee has to
pay double that,
Rice is quoted apparently al 5 cents,
but the buyer OF rice has TO pay IL 10
ID cents pound for 1t.
The publication Of such figures is
absolutely senseless. If there is any
object in printing such statements as
an endeavor TO show that the prices OF
the necessary foods are decreasing. the
effort is a lamentable failure. because
il does not get down 10 the actual
facts, and 10 the purchases that people
make in daily life. The only way to
deal with n question of this kind is TO
show prices by the pound or by the
quantity that a householder. "A home
buyer, would usually buy. II is idle
30 quote prices by packages that no
one can possibly use. and on scale
altogether out OF possibility for tho
average home. Wholesale prices have
little 10 do with actual cost to those
who buy for their daily food.

A RAID ON CORPORATIONS?


Does the Federal bunch contemplate
raid upon the corporations OF this
State7 We Judge this 10 be quite posi-.
bile, since the organ of that bunch is out
in an attack upon those corporations,
claiming that they do not pay their
share towards the maintenance Of the
public governmental agencies, II said
in poster. dodQer editorial yesterday
morning: 'Wheu the public service
corporations of Utah pay their share
towards the maintenance of city,

IL is not lessened by the agencies sus-
tanned and defended by the Federal

taxing agencies which maintain taxa

governmental agencies which the or

Having exhausted every possibility of

pretense that the corporations must be
made to bear their proper share Of
