Salt Lake Firm seeking Lime
Rock and Kiln Site

Mr.. B. E. Townsend of Salt
Lake City was in our city this
week for the purpose of looking
INTO the matter of establishing a
first class lime kiln in this section.
He was assured that there was
plenty of first classrock but the
Objectionable feature that stood
in the way was the distance of
transportation to a railroad.
Mr.. Townsend was representing
Santiquin Quarry located south
of Salt Lake and who furnishes
thousands of tons of lime each
year to the sugar factories who
use an enormous amount. In
order to establish a factory here
it would have to be within two
miles of the railroad else the costs
of building spur any further
distance would exceed the cost of
shipping the lime two hundred
miles. There is a great amount
of lime rock on both sides of this
place and the attention of Mr..
Townsend was called to the pro-
liability of marble being shipped
out Of this territory and If a lime
kiln was located on the east ofus
there might be some inducement
for the railway to build to them
if both companies become operat-
i've. This is an opportunity to
secure a factory of one industry
that the people of this place
would do we'll to encourage by
taking steps to secure its early
est blishment or else find out
that it is not feasible, one of the
two.

The Cold Wave Hit Oakley
Friday Night.

According to the weather pro-
phet, the cold wave struck this
place last Friday night about
nine o'clock. Mr.. VIM. B. Patty
arrived as scheduled and demon
strated to large audience in the
Opera House, where he showed
the workings of the wireless tele-
graph, the powers OF radium and
the uses of liquid air.
Oweing to the sickness of his
mother-in law, his wife who ira
vels with him was compelled to
leave to be at the bedside of the
former. and Mr.. Patty worked
to some disadvantage in making
the demonstrations which she
has assisted him in doing and
also reduced the number he might
have otherwise given, however it
was new and interestingly to most
everyone and furnished some
thing for them to study about.
Disappointment was expressed
by some in relation to his demon
strations while the majority were
satisfied with the work done and
the knowlege exhibited in the
handling of what the world calls
nature.
He made many predictions re-
garding the great development
! that would take place in the next
fifty years in scientific research
and repeatedly asked the young
people present to remember what
he SAID,

MAY 18TH SET FOR BEGINNING
OPERATIONS.

The New Flour Mill and grain

tor some time by John South.
worth and Geo. c. Walter will
soon become a reality.
They have set May the 18th as
the day for beginning operations
on the construction of this mill.
1t will be four stories high and
its location adjoining the Oregon
Short Line right-of- way and
Main street.
Its capacity will be seventy-five
barrels per day, while the eleva-
tor'will hold about twenty -thous-
and bushel of gram.
The approximate cost is about
$13, 100000 1t will be modern in
every particular and so construct
ed and supplied with the latest
machinery as to turn out the best
possible grade of flour.
Electricity will be the power
used IN running the machinery
and every effort possible to have
it completed by the time the new
crop is ready will be put forth.

There are four different firms
now on the ground submitting
bids for the stocking of the plant
and a decision will be reached to-
day in selecting the kind of ma
chinery that will go into it.
This adds another good indust-
ry to this community and one
that means much to the farmers
and cityman alike.

Heard in a Barber Shop.

In a 3-chair barber shop on the
nth floor of Loop (Chicago)
skyscraper the conversation had
twisted suddenly from a red-ho:
discussion of Christian Science to
the subject of mail l-orderism.
BLANK & Blank" snorted the
boss barber, quick to grasp the
possibilities of the newly opened
subject as field TOR further dis
cussion, Huh! l got mighty
poor opinion of Blank & Blank"
(naming a leading Chicago mail
order house). Spring fore last
my brother Bill, up in Wisconsin,
bought a lot of paint from Blank
& Blank and painted his house
white. Said he could mt get that
paint no waysas cheap at home.
HUH When | went to brother
Bills farm last summer that nice
coat OF white paint had disap-
peared. Bill said the first big
rainstorm that came along wash

Then the man in the middle
chair-a big, raw-boned, middle
aged, determined looking chap,
spoke up. The mail order house
he spoke very decisively and as
one whose statement could not
be gainsaid-"does not cater to

are recruited from the vast army
OF inexperienced buyers"
"RubesI!" shifted the boss by
way of comment.

the young fellow in the chair
nearest the door.
"Ehl what?" The boss looked
up defiantly, but as no further
remarks anent Brother Bill were
forthcoming, he resumed shaving

Silence reigned supreme.
Whether or not the man in the
middle chair became disconnected

marks) by the interruption the

Heavy Attendance at Stake
Conference.
WEATHER FAVORABLE. Discussions INTERESTING.

Union Stake in Oregon, were Wis
itors to the conference.
A part of each meeting was
given to local speakers and the
majority was occupied by the
visiting speakers.
Saturday evening was given
over to the Mutual workers. A
very interesting program was
rendered to a large audience.
Sunday was record breaker
IN attendance at the conference in
this Stake. AT the morning sess-
ion 1O16 were present and in the
afternoon 1865 attended.
The morning train over the
O S.L. leaving Oakley at 9 am.
carried 225 people and a number
in addition to those coming in
the morning went down for the
Missionerv Reunion held on Sum
day evening.
The conference throughout was
a very interesting and profitable
one. Important topics were dis
cussed and the duties and purp-
oses Of life were clearly set forth
to advantage to all.
A great many strangers as well
as Latter-day saints living in the
vicinity OF Burley were in attend
ance at the conference who would
possibly never had exerted them
selves to have attended had it not
been brought SO close to them
and in that regard it was thought
and expressed by many to have
been good thing to have held
it where it was at this time.

The Stake Quarterly Conference
opened IN the Burley Opera House
on Saturday morning last with
the Stake Presidency present and
many officers and members from
the different wards in attendance.
The Burley Ward Choir furnish
ed the singing under the direction
of Mrs. Hill. A number of quite
difficult pieces were rendered with
credit and the energy and strength
displaked IN their singing created
much favorable comment.
About eighty to ninety persons
left on the Saturday morning
train from Oakley arriving nearly
one hour late.
President VIM. T. Jack was the
first speaker of the morning sess-
ION. He welcomed the people to
the conference and spoke some
what concerning the responsible
tiles and duties the Latter-Day
Saints bear in the world. Said
that for the last few months the
Stake Presidency had endeavour-
ed to .1naugerate a special miss
ionary work in the stake with the
hope of bringing about a reform

sidewalk has long been an eyesore to
pedestrians. Three OF four vault lights
added to the uneven nagstones make
walking almost impossible. These
vault lights are raised a couple of
inches above the walk and It might
well be called the rocky road to the
Four Corners.
This condition should be remedied
before the exposition starts or many
visitors will leave with a very bad i'm
preston of Newark. Whoever is re-
sponsible for this work should get on
the Job at once.
Another sidewalk hal is a disgrace
TO the city is the one on the Clinton
street side OF the Mutual BENEFIT build
ing. This sidewalk is covered with
vault lights, studded with iron pegs.
The only space to walk is near the
curb, where there is a space twenty
four inches wide. Many people avoid
this side of the street. This should not
be allowed on a street of the impor-
lance of Clinton. It is detrimental to
the business houses on that side of
Clinton street. 1t is possible to have
these vault lights in the sidewalk
without making them a nuisance.
Those in front of the Firemen's build
ing are good examples of how these
lights should be put down.

NEED OF REVISING THE CORPORATION LAWS

IN DECISION by the New York Court of Appeals makes the
IN promoters of enterprises liable for damages in cases where
fraudulent or misleading representations have been made
TO investors. The court holds that where there are d number of
promoters all of them "are liable for damages for the fraud of an
agent employed by them TO effect the sale of corporation securities,
without reference to their moral guilt or innocence" Hundreds of
millions of worthless securities have been issued and sold frauda
lently. Hundreds of corporations have been organized under the
laws of New Jersey for that purpose and the promoters of these
swindles have been enriched at the expense of innocent victims
and with entire impunity. The United States mail service has been
used by the swindling promoters without stint, State and national
governments being thus made instrumentalities for the plumber of
The public. A bill was introduced in the Legislature by Senator
Colgate for a commission to investigate the corporation laws of the
state. 1t was held by the judiciary committee of the House, with
The evident intent to kill. The chairman of the committee was
Assemblyman George Walton Whyte, of Camden. Swindling pro
moters did not want the bill to pass. Trust managers also wanted
it killed. It was killed.

THE PRIMARY FIGHT IN NEW JERSEY.

MAJ ORE than a month will elapse before the presidential pri-
wi maries are held in New Jersey, so there will be plenty of
time in which to thresh out the issues presented. 1t is
fair to say that by far the greater interest lies in the struggle OH
the Republican side, although the results in Massachusetts, next
Tuesday may be so decisive as to virtually put Mr.. Taft out of the
race and compel the candidacy of Justice Hughes. In that event
there will have to be a complete shift of position by the Taft leaders
in this State if they care to save themselves from disaster. On
the Democratic side the issue is practically now between Speaker
Clark and Woodrow Wilson. Mr.. CLARK, having withdrawn from
the primary ticket in New Jersey out of courtesy to its candidate
Governor, has by that very act made himself stronger with New
Jersey Democrats, and the prospects are that all the anti Wi
forces in this State will concentrate upon him.

HE NEARBY SHIPS THAT FAILED TO REspoNI

eta NO steamers were in the near vicinity of the Titanic on that
fatal night, and close enough to reach her in time to rescue
her passengers and crew. The captains received the wireless
calls for aid, but no aid was given. Excuses are offered for their
conduct. Sixteen hundred human beings went down with the tt
tanic because the captains of steamers that were almost within
sight of the sinking Titanic were either brutally Indifferent or
eowardly. When the Senate Investigation of the Titanic wreck
was begun there was no hint of the presence of steamers near the
scene of disaster. An unjust reflection was put upon the com
mander of the Frankfurt until it was ascertained that he had been
prompt to respond to the wireless call, but was unable to reach
The Titanic in time. Investigation has now disclosed the fact that
if two steamer captains had not been craven probably all on board
the Titanic would have been saved.

BEGIN WAR ON THE HOUSE-FLY.

OMEBODY estimates that the descendants of one female
- housefy in a season, if all survived, would make a mass
greater than that of the earth. According to this figuring.
which battles the imagination to grasp, one fly destroyed in April
will mean 1,096, 1S1 ,249230, 720 000O 00, 100000 less flies during the
summer. And each of these creatures can carry 100000 bacteria.
Disease borne by flies have killed more human beings than all the
wars in history. Allowing the most liberal discount from these
statistics, no one can deny the moral, which is to smash
the first fly of spring and all its successors within reach. But as
prevention is better than cure it is still more important to see that
premises are kept free from exposed garbage and refuse of all
kinds in which the accursed race may breed.

THE PRESIDENTIAL EEUDLSTS.

IT'D RESIDENT TAFTS embittered speeches at Springfield and
S Boston, personally and by name attacking Roosevelt, will
be answered in kind by Roosevelt at Worcester tonight
and in addresses elsewhere in Massachusetts. 1t is hard to believe
that during the last administration of Roosevelt Taft was his right
hand man, entrusted by him with the most important duties and
missions. 1t is also hard to believe that in 1908 Taft wrote for
Hamptons Magazine a eulogy of Roosevelt in which he praised
in the highest terms his administration as President and classed
him among the great immortals. But times change and men
change with them" The two men are now antpodal in their views
and policies. They represent the two extremes of doctrine in the
Republican party. the progressive and the reactionary, that can
never be brought together. In Massachusetts is now witnessed the
greatest crisis the Republican party has faced since the Civil War.
The presidential primary in that State next Tuesday will be big
with consequences.
