government, lenient for while. has
become SO severe that the summary
executions Of sentences to death Or
exile for political offcnses are again
numerous. 1t is not only those who
violate the law but also those who
but passively support it and who viii
not work for reforms, on whom tina
hand Of the law is set.
Yuan Shi-kai has found that drastic
regulations are necessary for improv-
Ing the provincial administrations and
purging the country Of rebels, who are
still striving to turn the army against
the president. A recent presidential
mandate prescribes execution for
officials who receive brides for. per-
verting the law. Life imprisonment
Is prescribed for those who accent
brides for neglecting to put the law
IN force. ltappears from the mandate
that punishment by death may take
the form Of shooting" instead Of thd
old time Degradation, and "penal SER
vitude may take the form Of Danish.

opened on the Grand Gulch mining
property down in Mohave county,
Ariz', according to Supt. s. r. Gallo
way, who came in from Moapa yes

been repaired and trains are now run
ming regularly.
The new strike is on the 25O-foot
level, the deepest portion of the mine
now operating. Three feet of the
vein runs 30 to 40 per cent copper.
1t is a mixture Of oxides and some
sulphides.
The Grand Gulch is now employing
force of about thirty men. It is
shipping via the railroad to st. Thorn

Favors CELEBRATING Party Name

AT the parents class last Sunday
while speaking on the question of Po-
litical Companionship, certain lead
ing member of the class possessed of
the rather rare quality of originality.
suggested as something that would
materially aid in securing better poll
tics the doing away of party names
and the making up of certain po1i-
teal combinations upon principles,
to be embodied in platform style, so
that the magic of the party name
should not overshadow the conscience
or sense of right of the elector.
Sometime, it is not at all unlikely
at least it is not impossible, that by
some circuitous means this idea will
materialize, to the great benefit of
the nation. There can be no doubt
that party allegiance is responsible
FOR many corrupt officials and much
graft, as there are many voters who
swallow the party dose with their
eyes shut.

Looking After Mail Matters.

F. M. Hamilton, the post-office in
spector who has been making the
rounds Of southern Utah and northern
Arizona during the past several
weeks, was in Cedar City the fore part
of this week, part Of his mission be-
ing to obtain bidders on the mail con-
tract between Lund and this place.
The department is experiencing diff
Guilty in obtaining a satisfactory bid
on this route, due mostly to the fact
that the surety companies have re-
fused to qualify on the bonds of
many bidders, when in their judg-
ment the bids were too low. AS they
view it, the parcel post regulations
are serious handicap to the per-
Torrance Of mail service on star
routes. Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Ham,
lton went to Lund where he swore in
Mr. Harry Doolittle as postmaster,
pending the appointment Of his sue
E..irathAssreGular manner under
civil service examInation. This was
done at the requekt- Of bondsmen of
the former postmaster, Mr.. j. A. Root.

foolish policy that so many of our
farmers are pursuing Of growing
wheat and other grains on high-priced
irrigated lands, they should begin
commercial bean-growing and so
vastly increase their profits. Such a
course, according to DIR. Harris, also
would much enhance the value Of
their lands.
This advice is not founded wholly on
results of the stations work either.
B. A. Ball a private farmer of North
Logan and others have also tried out
this crop on fairly large scale and
their conclusions square in the main
with those Of the College farmers.
Another reason why this industry
should particularly be developed at
this time is that we are now in closer
touch with world markets. Prof.
Harris is authority for the statement
that today there is a good market for
all the beans that Utah can grow.
The College farm people will con-
tinue their work Of sugar beet seed
breeding the coming year, with view
TO determining to what extent the
beet seed industry may be made q
success in our state. They also will
continue to breed up certain strains
of alfalfa and potato seed by contin-
uous selection of best strains and in
dividuals, as to the latter, it is eX.
pected that potato better adapted to
Utah conditions than any now grown
here will be developed. Investigations
as to the best amounts of irrigation
water for such plants as sugar beets,
corn, alfalfa, wheat and potatoes will
be renewed.

ANCIENT HISTORY
OF GULF OF MEXICO
Waters Of Early World Once Covered
Large Portions of the south.

Most people know in a general way
that large portions of the United Sta
tes have in the past been covered by
the ocean, but it is perhaps not so
generally known that the continent is
now rising in some places and sinking
in others. There Is every reason to
believe that minor movements of the
land are constantly taking place.
Not 30 very long ago, in geologic
sense, the Hudson River flows through
q deep canyon or gorge at New York
City. Soundfngs show that this gorge
extends through the harbor and far
out to sea. It is evident that the land
surface has been lowered in this re-
gion, allowing ocean to creep in on the
allowing the ocean to creap in on the
land, fill the old river channel, and in
places wholly submerge it. The sub
mergence Of the land was greater at
one time than 1t is now. In excava-
tions for some of the New York sky
scrapers remains Of oysters and other
saltwater animals have been found.
As a rule the only available know
ledge In regard to the former sub
mergence Of an area is derived from
the marine shells and other animals
found In deposits laid down by the
sea. BY the nature of the fossils geo.
logists are able to tell approximately
when the ocean invaded the land.
They have found evidence of sub
mergence of much greater magnitude
and much older than that which now
floods the Hudson Valley. Gothamites
and others need not, however, feel a
Harmed at this statement Of the ups
and downs Of the continent, for while
geologically this submergence is not
90 very old, the geologist thinks and
speaks In terms of thousands II not
millions Of years.
Sharks Teeth Found in New Jersey.
Along the Atlantic coast, from New
Jersey southwark, 1t is not unusual to
find quantities of sharks teeth and
other marine fossils in the greensands
that are now located far inland and
are used for fertilizers. In certain
sections Of the southern Mississippi
Valley where limestone is not readily
accessible farmer will ego out and
gather a wagon load of fossil oyster
shells to burn for lime. The shark
bearing rocks Of New Jersey and the
oyster beds Of Tennessee are of the

When Gulf of Mexico Reached Cairo.
In the course of its Investigations
Of the geology Of the country, the
United States Geological Survey has
been making study Of the Cretace-
GUS deposits Of the Eastern States
and has found that the ocean of that
time covered much of what is now the
Atlantic Costal Plain, while the Gulf
Of Mexico spreads widely over the CEN
trail Southern States, probably reach
ing as far north as Cairo, Ill. The
Ohio was then a longer and older
river than the Mississippi. Some of
the sediments of this age, now hard
ened into rocks, were deposited in a
shallow sea, some about the mouths of
rivers, and some perhaps in the flood
plains Of the rivers themselves. All
these different types of sediments, as
found In the eastern Gulf region, are
described In the United States Geo.
logical Surveys Professional Paper
81, by L. w. Stephenson. In another
portion Of the paper is discussion of
certain oysterlike shells found in these
Cretaceous rocks, all the known spe-
cies being described and figured.
The paper is of interest to those
living in the eastern Gulf region not
only as illustrating the geology of
the area but as indicating the distri-
button Of certain types of rocks. AS
the soil is made in large part by the
slow decay of the underlying rock,
1t naturally follows that certain sorts
Of rock furnish better soil and subsoi
than others. By means Of the map
included In the report the extent of
different geologic formations can be
traced.

BEANS A TOP-NOTCH
CROP FOR UTAH.

Field beans are one of the most
profitable crops that farmers of Utah
can grow, according to the Utah Ex-
pertinent Station. DR.. Frank S. Har-
ris, head Of the department of Agro-
nomy at the Agricultural College de-
clares that the results of series of
experiments with this crop on the
North Logan farm, running through
several years, make it conclusive that
our tillers of the soil could do no bet
ter than to grow beans on a large
scale. AS high as 5000 to $500 per
acre has been realized from this crop.
