OF WAR
DEPICTED BY One
WHO KNOWS THEM

Some ear ago M. Bloch, a great
Warsaw banker and political econo-
mist, startled the world by the
declaration that a great war be-
tween European powers was a ply
steal impossibility says London Tit
Bits, August 10.
"Such a war; said M. Bloch,
has at last become impossible and
those who are preparing for war
and basing all the schemes of life
ON the expectation Of war are Wis
ionaries Of the worst kind. Science
and invention have made it not
merely impossible, but uuthink-
able"
Without taking quite such an
extreme vie as the famous Rus
sian apostle Of peace, it is easy to
see that a war between two or more
great European nations, would have
consequences so terrible that no
nation would ever dare to face
them a second time.
In the past, war has been sufic-
ieDtly prodigal in its squandering
Of life and gold. During the past
century alone it reaped a harvest Of
ID, ZOO. 900 lives; in one great
struggle, that between France and
Prussia, the death roll totaled 800,-
900, on three battlefelds -Buyo-
dino, Moskowa and Leipzig -more
than a quarter OF a million soldiers
were either killed or wounded. The
price paid for the Franco-G German
war in gold was 951e,0Oa,0 900 in
GLIDING Frances indemnity; and
the American civil war is said to
have sacrificed 10000 lives ct q
rost Of SO, 1000, 100000.
Such war the price paid for war
in days before tie science Of death
dealing was really out of it's
cradle, and its rapid progress dur
ing the last generation has adyanc-
ed it as far from the dsy of Sedan
as Sedan was removed from Agin-
court.
what strides the science has
made is proved by the statement OF
an expert that the artillery OF TO.
day is at least lie times more
deadly than the batteries which
Slaughtered their thousands al Sedan
and Gravelotte. In 1870 schrapnel.
FIRE, for example, only scattered

Telegraph service was supplied at
an early date. The Dessert Telegraph
company with Brigham Young as it's
president, financed by Mormon CAPT
tai, built line from Phoebe to Salt
Lake. Its tariff was high, $3.50 being
the cost of ten-word message to San.
Francisco. In 1878 the Western Union
Telegraph company opened line via
Hamilton. This afterwards went out
of commission, the Western Union
securing control of the "Deseret' line
which has been maintained ever since.
Litigation Appeared.
Just when its sun was at the zen-

to creep over Phoebe. Litigation,
which was nothing more nor less than
blackmail, began to appear on the
dockets Of the local courts. Highway

for the express purpose of holding up

Judge, Mortimer Fuller, set it aside.

Another of the early producers in
the Bristol-Jackrabbit district was the
Ida May. then called the Bay State,
which was located by Thomas Dun
stan in 1870. This property shipped
a large amount of high-grade ore in
the early 70's, but ill-fortune seemed
to attend its first owners. About the
time the property began to look really
promising. Dunstan took sick and
died. The mine was afterwards re-
located by Thomas Brown. who like
wise took sick and allowed his title
to lapse. Then 1t was again re-lo-
Gated and sold to Joseph Free. 1t is
now regarded as one of the most
promising propositions in the Greater
Phoebe district.
These additional discoveries called
for an increase in the facilities for
treating the ores. and this demand be-
gan to be supplied at an early date
Small furnaces were erected at va
rious points throughout the combined
districts, and smelters of real eco
nomic Importance followed. In 1872
a reverberatory furnace was built
near Bristol to handle the ores from
that district. 1t was changed to the
water jacket" type in 1878 and oper-
ated successfully Tor years on the Bris-
tol and Highland ores. In the early
SOS a Washoe process mill was put
up at Bristol for the Mayflower ore,
and about 1890 another smelter was
installed there to treat the copper ores

was established between Phoebe and
Salt Lake City. Both lines were pur
chased by the famous firm of Gilmer

running four times week. Then a

FIGHTING F0s THE COTTON INDUSTRY N HAWAII

The good work done by the territorial board
Of agriculture and forestry in its fight against
the Mediterranean fruit-fly should be followed
l,y a campaign on another pest, the cotton boil
worm. This pest has devastated the cotton
fields Of the territory ruined almost at the out
set very promising young industry and thus
far set at nought the efforts to combat it by
means OF clean culture and careful cutting back
Of the plants.
Entomologists who have considered the prob

the bollworm be successfully fought DR. r.
Silvestri while engaged in securing parasite
for the fruit.fly looked around for a similar en-
envy Of the boll-wornl and though he was not able
to bring ii to Hawaii when he came with the
friitfly parasite, he said that it could be dis
covered and brought here.
It is estimated BY competent authorities here
that for 900 at the outside the parasite could
be secured. It's value to the territory would be
many times that amount, for there is d consid-
cradle area Of land suitable for cotton-g growing
