More persons make use of the na- tional forests in Utah than in any other state. Nearly 27 per cent of all permits for sheep and cattle grazfng g on the forests are taken out in that state This does not mean, however, that Utah carries one-fourth of all the national forest cattle and sheep; 1t happens that many small grazing interests make use of the forests there and individual flocks and herds are larger elsewhere.

LAWYER ADMITS
FINDERS CASE
IS DROPPED
Evidence Is insufficient to Show
Woman Had Guilty knowledge
of Staying, Prosecutor Says.

SWAINSBORO, GA, July 5.-The
reports which have been published
from time to time that Mrs. Matte
Flanders will never be tried for muir
der of her husband to-day are for
mally confirmed by a statement made
by A. S. Bradley, of counsel engaged
by the Flanders family to prosecute.
the woman
The State does not expect to try
the case against Mrs. Flanders, and
| will ask the court to enter a nolle
prosequi," Mr.. Bradley said.
This in fact seems to be the only
honorable course to pursue, frankly,
so far as the attorneys representing
the prosecution are concerned. We
have been convinced of the fact ever
since the trial of DR.. McNaughton,
and before the jury rendered a YER
dict the matter was discussed among
us We decided that while the evil
dence showed beyond a doubt the
guilt of Dr. McNaughton it was legal
ly insufficient to connect Mrs. F7an-
ders with the crime.
There is great distinction between
the cases against the two defendants
and this has been especially marked
by the line of reasoning the Supreme
Court adopted in arriving at afjudg-
ment sustaining their verdict against
DIR. McNaughton. ..--
THE State is not in possession of
sufficient evidence to even lead to a
conclusion that Mrs. Flanders was
aware that drugs administered to her
husband were poisonous.
I'VE have continued the trial so
far for the sole reason that we felt
that it might be possible more evil
dence would be obtained. 1t has not
been obtained and there seems TO be
no reasonable possibility that any
stronger case can be made out at this
time If more evidence can be brought
to light in the future it still would
be possible to indict the defendant
and try her.
Frankly | always have4 felt that ].
did not care TO go before a jury and
ask it to render a verdict of convic-
ton in a case in which l have abso-
lutely no confidence jim the legal suf-
ficiency of the evidence"

Reading Clerk McCIatchey's g.
Year-0Id Son Has Determined
on Career of Public Service.

Eight years of age with three years
experience as a page in the House
of Representatives is the luck of D.
F. McClatchey, Jr.. who is also quite
fond of sitting on the knee of his
father, who has been Reading Clerk
of the House for sixteen years.
Young D. F. bids fair to prove
as popular as his father who man
ages to inject enough life in the
reading of House bills to make it
pleasant for the Legislature. Acous-
tics of the House are not the best in
the world, and the powerful voice Of
D. F. McClatchey is about the only
one which has ever overcome this
difficulty.
The ambition of young d F.
though, is to combine the positions
Of Reading Clerk and Speaker. He
like his fathers job, but he also has
a great longing to handle the gavel
He is sure Of a place as page in
the House until he is old enough to
vote, when he expects TO become a
full-tiedged member of the House
He viii then take a turn in the Sen
ate, put in a couple of terms as Gov
ernor try out Congress for a few
terms and then make himself Presi-
dent And there's not a member Of
the House who does not believe this
prediction is more than apt to come
true. The youngster can shake hands
with you as heartily as any politi-
clan who ever lived or curl up in
his fathers lap as cute and loving as
youngster should be.
Keep your eye on that young Nc.
ClatChey," is the way his father likes
to refer to him.

WANT ODD FE1.Lows AoAIN

A movement has recently gained con-
siderable headway among the leading
members of the local Odd Fellows
lodge to have the grand lodge meet in
this city again in 1915. Next year, it
seems assured, Glenwood will entertain
the body.
Bringing the meeting to this city
twice in three years and to the western
slope three times in succession would
hardly be possible, except that the
grand lodge entertainment is an expea-
sive proposition and few lodges caro-
to undertake the burden.
It is believed however, that local
business men and Odd FelIows will 80
thoroughly appreciate tho vslue Of
having the grand lodge here that the
entertainment will be easily Faised.
Pest Grand Master A. J. Dickson Of
Glenwood Springs has appsrently sue
ceeded in securing the meeting place
for 1914, although it was decided at
the grand lodge here to take it to
Denver.
The movement to bring the grand
lodge here in 1915 will doubtless be-
supported by local business men,

shs has had enough. But she does not
cay: 81 am sick and tired of har
work which you make constantly
harder by hiring extra help and not
working fourteen to sixteen hours 4 day
as I do" Instead she uses the chill
dren rs the lever. Talks of better
schools and churches for them and
more leisure for her husband, and the
farmer, although usually reluctant,
finally consents, and a move to the
city is made, where the farmer is sell
dom as eontented or happy and the
wife misses much she enjoyed on the
farm, but takes sufficient pleasure in
the family being alone by themselves,
with no men to interrupt their privacy
by walking into the house At any time
Of the day or night.
The remedy for all the trouble i.
simple; every wife should fatty re-

all right by farmers because it has
