ton of present county affairs. Dur
ng the present Republican admins
tration many miles OF road have been
graded. and the administration has
been otherwise diligent in the i'm
provements Of roads. 1t has built
substantial and convenient add
ton to the county court house. II
has built Ave cement bridges, each
with a span Of over twenty feet, and
from fifty to seventy-hve cement cul-
verts, all representing more perma-
nent improvements than has been &C
complished during any ~ prior ad-
ministrations. In addition to these
improvements when the present ad-
ministration turns over the AFFAIRS Of
the county to its successor the coun-
tvs Indebtedness will have been de-
creased more than $4,000.
We declare that the present coun-
ty administration has kept it's pledge
with the people on the liquor question
Prior to the liquor election the Re-
publican majority, knowing the de-
s,res Of the people and anticipating
their verdict, refused to grant liquor
licenses in county territory.
We favor the cooperation of the
County Sheriff's Office with the police
force in cities in the matter of en-
forcement of the law, and more par
ticularly IN the matter Of the Search
and seizure" clause in the liquor
law.
We favor economy in the matter
Of clerkships in state and county Of.
ices, and keep in view three great
principles in the government OF Cache
county: public improvement, public
economy, and public prosperity.
We favor, and pledge our represen-
tatives in the legislature to support
such legislation as will promote the
advancement and prosperity of our
institutions, in particular our own
Utah Agricultural College, the natur.
al and commercial resources of our
district in educational, agricultural
commercial and other lines. A fair
wage for the laborer, with reasonable
working hours. top prices for the
farmer, and laws that will prohibit
all professional men, and combina'
ton Of interests, from combining to
fix maximum and minimum rates.
We believe the rank and file of the
Republican party are still Republi.
cans, and condemn the action on the
part of a misguided few. who are
blindly cutting their own throats in
attempting to cast the affairs Of
Cache county in the hands Of the
Democracy by organizing new
party.
In this hour of prosperity and plen.
ty, running over a period of nearly
half century of unparalleled, mstch
less Republican rule, this hour of po
litical unrest and personal strife
amidst the clamor for a change with.
out reasons therefor, we call upon
the Republicans of Cache county to
consider well the all important prob.
lem of the hour. Political parties,
like individuals have records of their
own. The record Of the Republican
party is the history of our country

One of the finest and most remark
able trees In the state is the mammoth
oak on the estate of William Barber
in the town of Exeter The tree is
about eighteen feet in circumference
at the base and five great branches
which leave the trunk about twelve
feet above the ground form the sup
port for a spacious platform which In
times past was used by the owner of
the farm as summer house.
The lowest Of these branches, which
forms the principal support for the
platform, leaves the trunk of the tree
almost at right angles and the others
form a symmetrical dome which pro-
vides a canopy over a dancing plat
form which has been built beneath the
tree on the ground.
The great oak formed an ideal re-
treat for gatherings of relatives and
friends of the owner. 1t is located not
far from Beach pond, which a few
years ago was a favorite retreat for a
considerable number of summer Wis
itors who made the summer house
among the branches their favorite rem
devious.

Physiology of the Pine.

M. Wattville, a Paris scientist and
amateur collector, who possesses the
finest existing collection of pipes of
all nations, publishes the following GU
rious set of reflections, which he calls
The Physiology of the Pipe.
"First-While the cigar and cigar
cite are cosmopolitan, the pipe is
characteristic of a race.
"Second-The activity of race is
In proportion to the length of the stem
Of the pipe.
"Third-The shorter the pipe the
more laborous the nation.
"Fourth-Inversely the longer the
pipe the lazier the race.
"Fifth-The more frugal the nation
the smaller the pipe it affects.
"Sixth-On the other hand large
pipebowl is a sign of a wasteful and
sensual nation.
"Seventh-The mind of the race
may be deduced exactly from its way
of smoking.
"Eighth-Tell me what you smoke
and | will tell you what you are"

Teas CONQUEST of BONE.

OF all the conquerors that have com.
Co Rome no one has gained such a
complete victory as tea has won in
the italian capital. Twenty years ago
Che Britain and American tourists who
came to Rome were catered to in the
matter of tea in a rather shamefaced

a few windows hard by Cook & Sons

Nowadays the palm lounges of the
Grand and the Excelsio hotels at tea
time are two of the sights Of Rome, for
all Roman society drinks tea abroad in
the afternoons, and there are as many
uniforms at o'clock in the big hotels
as there are at shutdown on band days

SUFFRAGE BIG TOPIC AT
MEET OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
Federation is Unable to Keep 1t Out of
Convention at San Fran
cisco, Cal,

San Francisco, Cal, July 3.-The
woman suffrage question is looming
large in the convention here of the
General Federation Of Women's Clubs.
1t seems certain that the advocates Of
the cause will force the issue from
the floor Of the convention, probably
on Friday, when the delegates come
to the consideration of the report OF
the board of resolutions that have
been submitted for approval or rejec-
ton. There still remain two days in
which resolutions may be sent to the
board, but it is said to be unlikely
that the woman suffrage advocates
will submit a resolution on the subject
to that body, as they will prefer to
take it directly to the convention, and
thus avoid possibility OF an adverse re-
port by the board.
The conservative delegates believe
that as an organization the federation
cannot indorse any issue that does not
properly belong to it's work, which is
along educational lines. The indorse-
ment of suffrage would inject into the
convention a political issue.
The question will have bearing on
the election Of the new president, and
the advocates of suffrage have beer
busily pursuing their propaganda and
seeking to enlist as many of the hesi-
tant delegates as possible in favor of
the candidate who would give the
most positive assurance Of giving sup
port to the movement
So important has this phase of the
campaign become that the two lead
ing candidates for president felt i'm
PEELED to issue statements defining
their position in the matter
The proceedings Of the convention
were Of a routine order, the report Of
the credentials committee, report Of
the council, an amendment on the
question Of interfederation by Mrs
Harry L. Keefe, Walthill, Neb, and
conferences in the department Of pub
lie health and legislation being the
principal business. The afternoon was
devoted to an outing in cities of Ala
media county. A musical program at
the Greek theater at the University
of California was one Of the attract
i've features of the day.

IN SPECIALLY BUILT STUDY
How Mark Twain Produced His Lite
rary Masterpiece, "The Adven-
lures of Tom Sawyer"

AS early as 1872 Mark Twain had
contemplated one of the books that
will longest preserve his memory
'FThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer"
The successful result of "Roughing It"
naturally made him cast about for 9th
er photographed material, and he
remembered those days along the river
front in Hannibal-his skylarking adj
ventures with Tom Blankenship, the
Bowen boys, John Briggs and the rest,
He recognized these thirgs as mate
rial-pleasant, inviting material it was
and now in the cool luxury Of Quar-
ry Farm, at Hartford, Conn, he set
himself to weave the fabric of his
youth.
He found summer time always his
best period for literary effort, and on
a hillside just by the old quarry Mrs.
Crane had built for him that spring, a
.study-a little room of windows, some
what suggestive of pilot house
overlooking the long sweep of upland
grass and the dreamlike city below.
Vines were planted that in the course
of time would cover and embower it;
there was a tiny fireplace for chilly
days.
He worked steadily there that sum

FIRE SO SHOTS IN BATTLE
Regiment of New York Police Finds
Eight Prostrate-Fright Their
Trouble.

New York, July ga regiment Of
police secured Chinatown several
hours in an attempt to arrest party
of orientals who made murderous
attack on several of their countrymen
asleep on the roof OF tenement
house early in the morning. Nearly
so shots were fired by the attacking
party, all of whom escaped. There
was only one casualty, a tong leader
named Chu F'ong receiving bullet
wounds which probably will prove
fatal
When the police reached the tene-
ment roof they found eight Cinnamon

were dead, but examination showed
that they were merely Frustrated by

Strange Freak of Wind.

Of the many freaks played by the
wind that of a late date which lifted
the nest of a sitting hen, made in an
empty cracker box and deposited 1t,

mail delivery box. a quarter of a mile
away. was the strangest. The hen is
the property of Mrs. Ida Erickson, and

from the ground. lift it 80 feet in the
air and finally leave it on the mail box
undisturbed. The hen has settled

MAKE SCREEN USEFUL
DECORATIVE POSSIBILITIES Apr
MANY AND VARIED.
ideas From the japanese Worth Con-
sideration - As Substitute for
Ordinary Door Perfect Color
Scheme May Be Devised

AS decorative adjunct TO the IN.
terror the. Japanese have always been
credited with recognizing and availing
themselves of the screen when plan
ming the furnishing of a house And
from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be in decorative scheme
By screen perhaps one insensibly
means the usual fourfold arrangement
but 1t is also meant to convey the
finely carved and artisticaIly designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one find sometimes used instead of
doors. But such screen must be in
the right place, and decorators have
long since realized how fine an effect
can be produced by the right kind of
screen in the right place.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value, and In modern
houses the screen is, to a certain eX-
tent, replacing the cld-fashioned door.
That is to say In house boasting of
five rooms, and not in suburban villa
residence. BY the substitution of the
screen for the ordinary door house
OF vistas Is the result. Long rooms
leading one from the other, the decora-
ton of each so arranged that the color
scheme and furnishing seem to blend
artlstically to form a perfect whole.
And that is where the decorator tri-
umphs.
Today the four leaf screen has per-
haps reached a eliminating point In
artistic conception, and in the exquis-
lite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau
tiful examples which are made here.
For instance, for a Louis XIV. draw
ing room nothing could be more in har-
mon with the period than a screen in
tapestry.
The latest Japanese screens are the
work of artists who understand and
appreciate the blending of the most
delicate and the most crude colors,
and the result Is a masterpiece Of
needlework.
On a dark background one design
represents a tall tree standing in a
meadow, and in the long grass are
seen tiny white wild flowers In an
other panel there is tree overlooking
pool, the branches casting deep
shadows in the water The framework
of the screen is lacquer.
Another beautiful screen represents
Mount Fujiyama and the Inland sea,
the rosy light reflected from the snow
clad peak shining on the water; beside
the lake, standing sentinel, there Is
tall tree, the light shining on the trunk
and turning it to green and gold. Ia
the water there are some white ducks
disporting themselves. Each panA of
this screen forms q complete picture.
Perhaps the most beautiful of all
was the screen in dull black cloth,
which formed a perfect background
for the scene depicted, tall purple and
white iris growing in a pool, the tall,
spiky leaves being so absolutely per
feet and the flowers so wonderfully
worked as to make one doubt whether
1t could be embroidery. Over the pool
lowered a solitary bird with a red
and blue head and long red bill.
which gave the little touch of color
which the picture needed.
