THE WIZARDS ROUNDUP

The Wizards Roundup, the great
outdoor exposition of western sports
and pastimes TO be held at Salt Lake
City in connection with the Wizards
Carnival, August % TO 80, gives pro-
mise of becoming the premier event of
its class in this country. Situated in
the center OF the region from which
talent and material must be drawn for
these shows, and Offering as they have
the most valuable list Of prizes in cash
aud trophies ever before given, II Is
now evident to the Wizards Wards
that Salt Lake City is destined to take
the lead in these events, and they have
accordingly decided to make the Wiz
ards Roundup an annual affair. Car
loads of wild horses from jackson Hole
district, outlaw bucking horses from
the ranges of six western states and
old Mexico, together with hundreds OF
cowboys, cowgirls, plainsmen and Ind
ians who, through participation In sim
liar shows throughout the country have
proved themselves to be the perfection
of the profession, will perform In diff
cult and dangerous feats. Twenty-Five
events are scheduled upon the daily
program, including the Wizards PUSH
ball Contest, for which the Wizard
Wards have purchased $500 pushball
This thrilling sport is of recent Origin
and has never before been seen in tn
west ia the diversified scope 1t will b
plyed at the Wizards Roundup, upor
the State fair grounds.

on the 6rst of July warrants had

run the state capital for the next six
months. It looks to a felllow at
this distance away from the seat of

Last week we mentioned that Les
terRobinson, Sherman Tanning, Gale
Carey, and Emory Syron had gone
Oh fishing excursion and later
Frank Hilderbrand decided to, and
did join the party. They we're es-
tablished on Reeds creek northeast
of Pierce and It was the custom that
four of the boys vent fishing while
the fifth staid to do Mary AIMS work
and tend camp.
On a certain day, it happened to
be Gail Carey's turn at doing the
dishes and lounge about the camp,
and while thus passing away tine time
bear without any particular recog-
tition sign entered the arena and as
soon as Gail saw him, the camp was
turned over to Bro. Bear with all the
accoutrements and appurtenances
thereunto belonging, while Mr.. Carey
climbed to the top of a nearby shed
and watched bruin help himself to
the butter, lard, and other delectable
edibles which the lardsr of the camp
contained. Finally gathering up
courage, be took q shot at the in
truder, but his better judgment pre-
vailed upon him to desist, as his
little pop gun might only anger the
visitor and visiting wouldn't be 50
pleasant for the entertainer. The
bear having exploited to his hearts
content and filed up in like manner,
departed.
Next day while the boys we're
lettering about camp (supposecly
the same) bear entered camp and
someone yelled, "There is that pesky
bear again." "No." reiterated
Carey, "the one that was here yes
terday was much larger"
But there was not much time for
argument, and Frank Hilderbrand |
raised his trusty 1880 and taking
good aim, doused bruins glim. II
was a fine brown bear. The boys

capture home With them and will have

II is now claimed that our aver
age congressman lays by out of his
salary and perquisites in two years
of service enough of this worlds
goods to help him fairly well for the
rest of his life. Much depends upon
thrift in the particular case, but
there are multitudes of individuals
loose in the land who stand ready to
play the game on half an invitation.
Besides his own salary your member
is allowed a fair sum for one clerk
who is usually his wife or some mem

may be kept at home. Some live on
the perquisites of the Office alone
and save the whole salary. Of

The startling exposures in the
daily papers of the last few days Of
the conditions in Mexico as to the
parts taken in the revolution by the
great English and American financial
interests is only proving what has
been charged for years and it is only
surprising that the proof has not
been Forthcoming before this. That
the English oil interests are behind
Huerta and the American despoilers
are aiding Carranza is the charge
which is likely to be proven true.
That a country islaid waste and that
thousands of innocent lives are sac
rihced is of small consequence to
these despicable brigands. The
wisdom and justice of Pre- sident VIII
sons course in the whole lamentable
trouble is being more clearly shown
every day and it is to be hoped that
these latest exposures will result in
opening the eyes of those who have
been demanding Intervention to the
fact that this is exactly what is de-
sired by these financial 6ends.

SADPARTY PLIGHT.

It In now just about half way be.
tween the last presidential campaign
and the next one, and the republicans
are without either candidate or an
issue to base campaign on. The
progressives have a candidate, but
no party back Of him. How these
two situations can be combined to
form a winning possibility it is diff
cult to see. A story is told about a
blind man and . helpless cripple who
both wanted to get to the same place,
but one couldn't walk and the other
couldn't see. They fixed up the
difficulty in good shape and reached
their destination successfully, by
the blind man taking the cripple on
his back, using the legs of one and
eyeso the other. Some such scheme
might be tried with the two factions
into which the republican party is
nov divided.

It has been remarked by some
punster, and perhaps correctly so,
that if newspaper wishes a lot Of
noteriety, it places itself in position
whereby it subjects itself to libel pro-
ceedings. This seems to be the case
with Peter CIRCUITS Orofno Republi-
can. Just lately Mr.. 0rcutt is said
to have criminally libeled ], w. and
p. II. Blake, two prominent Clear
water county residents, who went aft
er the willy Peter. and seek to re-
cover SIS, 900 each as a balm for
the hurt inflicted. Well, to cut
long story short, it is a mighty hard
job to draw blood from turnip, and
if the Blakes can get over two-bits
from Mr.. circuit, he is financially
better fixed than ten-ninths of the
men We are acquainted
with At the preliminary which took
place last week, Mr.. circuit simply
waived examination and that threw
all brunt of the burden on the other
fellows, while the accused whistles
and MARBLES like unto a canary bird,
and labors on apparently undisturbed.

DON'T BE A PESSIMIST.

In his conference with Presiden
Wilson last week, Henry Ford. the
great automobile builder stated that
there is absolutely nothing wrong
with business. "The only trouble
is that some people seem pessimistic.
If every one would only cheer up and
attend to their business this calmity
talk would stop Immediately"
There is no question but what
there is great deal of truth in
what Mr.. Ford says, and there is no
question but what there is always too
much pessimism shown by those who
are opposed TO the policies of party
in control, no matter what party it
may be. This is especially so with
many men who have political ambi-
lions, fearing that if they give the
party IN power, or the men in office,
full credit due them that it would
help to keep them in control or in
Office.
This ambition for Office has grown
top heavy with a vast number of the
American people. So much so, that
many of the ambitious are willing to
sacrifice their friends, and the pros
perity of the country and sometimes
much of their own honor to gain or
to hold an Office. This selfish ambi
ton has been one of the principal
factors in making so many indepe nd
emit voters who are the real safeguard
of the country at the present time
and the greater in number they be
come the better for the country.
Political parties are very necess.
airy and all parties have plenty of
good honest and able men in their
ranks to look after the interest of
the county providing they select this
class of officers from their party to
fill the Offices. But the difficulty
lies, not in the party, but in the men
Who control the party and those who
succeed in getting the Office.
Many good reforms are advocated
and put in force every year and
many 80 called reforms are advocat-
ed and some put in force every year
that are not intended to be of any
benefit to the people but are advocat-
ed for the sole purpose of catching
the voter and helping the 'whoop'er
up to land in office. Let US IN
crease the number of independent
voters; select only honest, capable
reliable men for all the Offices, re-
CARELESS of their political affiliations
and we will soon eliminate the great
er portion Of this calamity talk and |
the pessimism which Mr.. Ford says
is the trouble with the country at the ,
present time.

WaIlace's Farmer is authority fol-
the statement that in the first siz
months Of new tariff our impor-
tations of fresh beef were just suf6-
cient to provide two ounces per
month for each person in the United
States. It also notes that the price
of beef was 80 per cent higher in
March, when the first six months IN
der the new tariff ended, than it was
in the preceding September, when
the old law was suspended. Con-
sidered in their relation these facts
indicate that when beef gets SO high
that its price prohibits its use on or
binary tables we send abroad for two
ounces a mon!h to relieve the situa-
ton.

WINTER WEATHER SPOILS STATE PEACH CROP Buds Are Killed Both on Low Land
 and High Land.

J. Fl. Hale of Glastonbury the au- thority on peaches, was in Hartford this week and inquiry was naturally made of him about the crop prospect MT. Hale said that the Connecticut market crop this year would be a neg ligible quantity. Last year this state had more peaches than any other in the union. The trouble this time has been, of course, the low temperature. As a rule trees on high places escape the worst cold, as that rolls down the hills and the valleys have lower tenn peratures than the highlands.
 However, this winter there was one Tuesday when the thermometer was below zero and the wind was very high. That did for the highland trees. It was what seldom comes along. A week or so ago there was severe cold in the lowlands and the high places escaped. But, as they had been hit already. that made little difference The net result of the two cold snaps is that one time the highland got it and the other time the loWlands suf- cred and, therefore, both have been hit There may be enough fruit to eat but the market supply will be lacking.
 MT Hale years ago established in Georgia an orchard to meet just such emergencies. This is fine condition. The winter has been cold down south and this has held back the buds A year ago at this time the trees there were finishing their blossoming. This year the buds haven't even opened. They have held back and will come along later in good shape. Mir. Hale said that though he was no weather prophet, he had a feeling 'in his bones'' that we were going to have a warm and early spring. Time will tell.

LAWSUIT TO COMPEL
 CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY.
Wilfred E. Brown Brings Action Against J. E. Hart of Stonineton.

Wilfred E. Brown of the town of Stonington has brought suit against John E. Hart, also of the town of Stonington, as trustee of the estate of the late Elijah A. Morgan, for the con- veyance of a piece of property in the town to him and asks $2,000 damages. The case Is a sequel to the summary process brought last summer by Hart against Brown to obtain possession of the property in question.
 Brown sues on the terms of lease entered into between himself and Hart in 1907, whereby he was to have the first opportunity to buy the property of which Hart is trustee and occupied by him (Brown) for the same price as that offered by anybody else.
 Last summer Hart sold the prop erty and brought a summary process against Brown, who was occupying It and who is still in possession.
 The hearing was held before Justice of the Peace Charles H. Congdon, who held that although the lease was en- tered into 1907 for one year, in view of the fact thhe plaintiff had continued to occupy the premises without any further agreement as to terms of oc- cupancy, and with the knowledge of the trustee the lease was still good and in effect.
 Now Brown brings the present suit predcated on that decision for the conveyance of the property to him under the conditions of the lease, and to take the property under the same terms and price as offered by the per son or persons to whom Hart has sold the property.
 The suit is returnable before the superior court the first Tuesday in April Attorney Benjamin H. Hewitt represents the plaintiff.

the materials of temptation have enor-

the materials of temptation have enor- mously grown.
 You see it in new phases of busi- ness in the social life and elsewhere. This then is the contribution of our day towards the matter of temptation. One wonders how far parents have the conception of how deeply temptation has entered the lives of their children within a few years Some call tempta- tion opportunity" It is needless to say that there we have an explanation of much of the trouble and suffering in the world. The question Is now, how is all this to be checked? All the other troubles are trivial compared with the great question of tempta- ton.
 The cure for this. in a sermon given by a New York clergyman, is a higher power to underlie and uplift the moral standards that seem to have lost their hold. It can only be found in a deeper reverence of the religious life. The sec ond step in effecting a cure is not to argue or barley. By so doing tempta- ton enters and begins to fortify itself. The third step is to bear in mind the advantages of a clean and wholesome body.
 In concluding, Rev MT. Raftery said: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, as he will receive as his reward the crown of eternal life.

'MIDDLESEX ARCHDEACON BREACHES
Rev H. Raftery the Speaker United Lenten ServceDe- Evers Timely Sermon Upon Temptation-It Has Enor- mously Grown in These Modern Days He Says.

Rev. Oliver H. Raftery, archdeacon of Middlesex, was the preacher at the second of the united Lenten services held Thursday evening at Christ Epis- copal church.
 The congregation was large and Rev Mr Raftery held the close attention of his hearers throughout his able dis course. He took for his text the 12th verse of the first chapter of the Epistle to St James: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation.
 It is significant fact he said, that one of the very first things that comes to mind during the Lenten period is temptation. What is temptation, and is it true that the man who endures it is blessed? Can that man afford to withhold from temptation? Doesn't It hurt business prospects? These are only a few of the questions that are in the minds of many today.
 Temptation is as old as Adam, and it's laws are as deeply seated as any thing that can be thought of. Is there then any contribution of our day, that is called new that makes any differ ence in this matter of temptation? Nothing is standing still, and tempta- ton mas also made nrogress with the rest. In whatever direction you look,
