WATER SUPPLY.

One of the chief attractions for the
average tourist who stops off in Salt
Lake during the spring, summer and
fall months is the pure and sparkling
water that bubbles up in the little foun-
tains III the business district The flush
ing of the streets instead of sweeping
them is another source of delight to
the stranger within the gates. OF
course it takes a good many million
gallons Of water over and above that
required by actual necessity to keep the
fountains running and supply the carts.
But the city is amply rewarded for its
prodigality in this respect.
Owing to the increase in population,
the extension of the paved district and
additions to industrial enterprises it is
necessary TO look ahead and keep a
bountiful supply Of water stored in the
mountains. In this connection it is Of
more than passing interest to the citi
zens of Salt Lake to know that the
beautiful little lakes at the head of
Big Cottonwood canyon have been Sc
cured as an additional supply, the pur
chase depending upon the outcome of
the bond election.
Salt Lake is famous the world over.
1t is beautifully located, the climate
cannot be excelled and its citizens are
known far and wide for their business
ability. The state measures up to the
city in all the requirements for home
building, Yet, after all is said and
done, the application OF water to the
farm lands and its prodigal use in the
streets Of Salt Lake have had consid-
cradle to do with giving good repu-'
tation to both state and city, 1t is to
be hoped that water enough will always
be- kept stored to keep the beautiful
lawns fresh and green, the streets clean
and the little fountains that prove such
an attraction to visitors running. The
city is to be congratulated upon the
acquisition of the little lakes at the
head Of Big Cottonwood canyon,

FACTS ARE WANTED.

The mind of the commissioner Of
corporations is not fully made up as to
whether or no "big business" by
means of greater efficiency, secures
lower prices to the consumer than he
otherwise would enjoy. 1t has been
claimed, and the arguments appear rea-
sonable, that one great concern can pro-
duce d given amount Of almost any ar
ticle in trade more cheaply than a doz-
en- small companies. Mr.. Davies has
instituted an inquiry and expects TO
be able to furnish the facts for the con-
sideration of congress.
An attempt will also be made to dis
cover if the alleged monopohes contain
germs that will ultimately lead to their
destruction without the aid Of legisla,
tion, While the idea of the commission
er TO ascertain the facts is st.class, it
is evident that the administration is
determined TO proceed with its anti
trust programme without waiting for
the report Of Mr.. Davies. The evident
intention of Mr.. Wilson and his ad-
visers is TO pass many laws in short
space OF time and then go out upon the
hustings this fall and loudly claim TO
have delivered the country from the
clutches of the alleged oppressors. The
commissioner OF corporations Will come
along with his facts later, provided he
succeeds in ms undertaking.

AUTO HIGHWAYS.

Speakers from Colorado and eastern
Utah revived interest in the subject
of auto highways at the Commercial
club yesterday. 1t transpired that Colo.
rado had already constructed excellent
automobile roads from Colorado Springs
as far west as Rifle From this point to
Salt Lake two routes are proposed, one
the Midland trail By way of Grand
Junction. which is south Of Rifle, and
the other by way OF Meeker, which is
north Of Rifle,
Apparently Colorado has taken more
active steps TO secure a trans-state
highway than has Utah Probably the
people Of this state have relied upon
the building Of the Overland trail large.

There is no good reason why Utah
should not have both roads by 1915.

constructing highway to Rifle, and

Little Island Is Constant Source of Trouble to Uncle Sam Who Is Now Acting as Referee in Bankruptcy

As a method of marketing, the parcel post will succeed only Ill such measure as il accomplished moro ef- ficicntly and economically the luhc- lions now performed by the nnmer~ ous middle interests of the preseLrz system. It greatest advantage naturally will appear, so far as d shipment from the farm are concern- ed. in those commodities which are produced practically in the condi- ion in which they are finally retailed to the consumer but even in the case of such products there must be a. wel-understood and business-like agreement as to how fair and reason- able prices are to be arrived at and as to the particular quantities and qualities which are to be delivered at specified prices.
 Farmers Prices High. "'rhcre is an unfortunate tendency on the part of some farmers who have butter, eggs. and other pro- dncts to sell to ask prices far above those current in their own rural To- calities and higher even than those cxacted by the fancy retail stores of | the cities for products of the same grade.
 1 Fundamentally, there are only two reasons to persuade the custo- mer to undertake the additional trou- 1 bue and uncertalnty-for thcr is greater or less amount of uncertain- l ty under the present syStemof se- curing produce by mail These are economy in cost and the greater | froShuncc in prOd,,ct nnpS1a1 method will prove to be popular un- less it gives results along both lines. 1 Producers must be very careful not to overreach in the matter of prices. Unles they are willing to share the saving with the customer who agrees to receive and pay for food products which he has not had an opportunity ! to examine and whose quality and l time of delivering will always be 1 subjected to a degre of uncertainty. there is little prospect of the wife extension of the parcel post system which it deserves, so far as the farm 1 is concerned.
 Recently the postoffice here has i ben very active in trying to promote parcel-post marketing, collecting list of names of farmers and others wao have produce to sell and printing and distributing these lists to patrons of the Washington postoffice who might become patrons.

For a hundred years the island has been indepcndent-an the scene Of continuous and sangulnary fighting. So fierce has been the slaughter that it has actually reduced the p0pIla- ton. And this in one of the most fertile and beautiful garden spots on the face of the earth.
 The Spanish settled the east end of the island, now called San Do- mingo, and the French the west or Hayti. A mountain range separates the two. Besides the civil wars with out end the two little nations have been from time to time invading each others country ever since their white masters were massacred by Toussaint L'Ouverlure and other "patriots.'

 Not long ago Germany thought she could get the good harbor of Mole St. Nicholas, twelve hours sail from the American naval base of Guantan alno It was only by great effort that Uncle Sam prevented the kaiser from seizing this desirable bit of Widw hard passage It was a bitter disap- pointment to German sailors, who are in great need of q coalino station on the Caribbean.
 Then the German bankers placed two loans with Hayti at frightful rates of interest These loans this spring were on terms so eXtortion- ate that Wall Street money kings would have been denounced if they had made them. Now the Berlin usur- CTS are asking the German govern ment to force payment and the kais- CTS diplomatists are requesting the United States to perform this service.
 But right here a difference from the case of San Domingo crops up and one that is threatening to the very life of the Monroe doctrine.

 It Is Overrated.

DEPENDS ON PEOPLE
Hy Ioaaihau WiMiicld.l


 Washington, Aug. 1.--Thcrc IS a great diversity of opinion among eA- perts connected with the postal serv- ice concerning the benefits which will come to producers through the parcel post. The more optimistic claim that il will be panacea for all the ills incident to the high cost of living; the pessimistic say that the parcel post has been rather over estimated that, while il is very fine young institution, it will not have much effect upon the individual because~ it's use will not be very wide spread.
 In this connection a conversation which l had the other day with Charles J. Brand, chief of the office of markets of the postoffice, is de- cdedly interesting. Mr. Brand, as you will observe, is one of the opnti' mistic who believes that the main fault with the parcel post as it now stands is lack of education in it's ad- vaatages among those who use it.
 1t is importan to remember, Brand said to me, "that there is noth- ing automatic about the parcel post. 1t is merely a vehicle for transporta- ton and delivery. the successful de- velopment of which will depend very largely upon the shipper though also in part upon the purchaser or consumer.
 This presumes, with the best of reason. that the postoffce depart ment itself will do it's part of the work with dispatch and care.

OLD RESIDENTS
ARE CALLED HOME
Pullman People Are Saddened by the
Death of -Four Well known and
Respected Friends
Elizabeth V. Williams

aged SO years, one day.

and Mrs. John Brissenden, who came

and was born at Albion, ILL.,, January

In marriage to L. V. Williams, who
died in 1867. Since 1886 she has

She was a woman of strong character
and winning personality and during
her long residence here made many
warm friends. She retained to a
remarkable degree her physical and
mental activity, despite a fall last

hip. Her end was peaceful and
happy. Thursday, January Is, she

WEST MAIN STREET
WILL Be PAVED
Council OVerrides Protests of Prop
erty Owners and Declares In
tention of Matchmaking
From Grand Street to
City Limits

West Main street will be improved
by macadam paving from Grand
street to the city limits, according to
action taken at the meeting OF the
city council last Tuesday evening,
when the city fathers voted unani-
mously, with Councilmen Nye and
Kreugel absent, to proceed with the
improvement in spite of the protests
of numerous interested property own
ers, which were recently presented to
the council. A considerable delega-
ton of property owners was present
a. the early part OF the sessiOn Tues
day evening, but believing that press
OF other business would preclude the
possibility of the council considering
the Improvement that evening they
left the council chambers before ac-
tion was taken.
The preliminary specifications Of
the city engineer call for a 30-foot
macadam pavement, with curb and
cutters, from Grand street to point
near the A. h. Boyd residence, and
q 20-foot macadam pavement with
out curb or cutters, from that point
to the city limits. The estimated cost
OF the improvement is about $4,000,
the 30-foot macadam costing about
$4,000 and the 20-foot macadam
about $4,000.
The demonstrators contended that
a considerable sum could be saved
to the property owners by improving
the street by day labor, using the city
rock crusher which was purchased
last year, and it is understood that a
petition requesting the council to
change its plans TO conform to this
plan will be circulated and presented
to the council for consideration.
