Reputation.


Chicago Record-Herald: Reputation
Is thing that men are always trying
l, to get or to lose. To one man repu-
tation may be great help; to another
a serious hindrance. The man who
wishes to get rid of his reputation
finds that everybody else Is trying to
compel him to keep it, while the man
who is endeavoring to hold fast to his
reputation seldom succeeds in finding
anyone who Is willing to lend him as
sistance. Reputation makes one man
proud and another ashamed. 1t brings
happiness to one family and misery
to another II 1t Is good it may be
destroyed in a moment; II 1t is bad,
years Of constant and earnest efforts
are necessary to demolish it. Reputa-
ton is one mans greatest asset, an
others heaviest liability. One man
may travel far upon his reputation,
while another finds that his reputation
| is an obstacle which he cannot climb
over Reputation makes one man
strong and an other weak; it Is bet
ter than wealth and worse than
disease; It insures success and makes
failure certain; 1t commands esteem
and arouses scorn. The man who Is
making a good reputation must rely
wholly upon his own efforts; he who
is making bad reputation may easily
find plenty of people who will be glad
to help him. A good reputation must
be constantly guarded A bad repu-
tation is made more durable by every
attack.

mcrly in charge of the corporation s
mining operations. who testified today
before the house steel investigating
committee.
1.-The remarkable rise in the produc-
tiou of steel in a period of little
more than ten Years. said Mr.. Cole,
has been forced on the steel corpora
tion by the demands of the public. The
public demand has forced the steel cor
Doration to spend millions and millions
Of dollars in Improvements in order TO
ill the orders for steel'
Rosy Future for Utah.
Mr., Cole predicted a rosy future for
the steel business in this country and
prophesied that in the great west, in
Utah and in California particularly,
immense ore beds soon would be utilized
and steel mills erected to supply the
western demand. He also saw the day
coming when coke would not be neces-
sary in the manufacture Of steel, elec-
trieitv TO be utilized in it's place.
''The ores in Utah are merehantable
and accessible said Mr.. Cole, "and
the time is coming when these ores Will
be marketed through Salt Lake City.
1t also is certain that the ores can be
shipped from the Utah mines TO Salt
Lake City and meet their cokipg coal
from Wyoming and other mines in
Utah itself.
Salt Lake the Center.
"And the day will come when Salt
Lake City will be an important center
for the manufacture of iron and steel,
Just as Duluth. which has been distrib-
uting ore for years, is now coming into
its own as steel manufacturing cen

Discussing the Hill ore lease, which
the steel corporations has given notice
Of cancellation in 1915. Mr.. Cole de.
clared no such bodies of ore as were
expected when the lease was made,
were found.
Estimate Too High,
He estimated that the ore in the Hill
lands aggregates about 25o,000,000 tons.
The Hill engineers before the lease es.
timated as high as 7oo,oo0,e00 tons of
ore. Had any such amount been dis
covered as was predicted, Mr.. Cole add
cd. the steel corporation never would
have cancelled the lease because of the
enormous growth of the steel business
in this country
At the conclusion of Mr.. Coles test
mouy the committee adjourned No
