RYAN Livery MAN FINED.

Thomas Turner, the livery iEan
nt Ryan appeared before Justice =.
s. Lister one day last week sin ans
wer to charges Of having violated
laws regulating the operation Of
motor vehicles on public highways;
Two charges were entered against
Mr.. Turner, one for driving his auto
without a number plate and a sec
ond charge for careless and impru'
dent driving Mr. Turner declared
that he has sent the. required sum
of money for the number plate and
license to the state office, but had
not received his license or number.
Mr.. Turner pleaded guilty to the
charges preferred against him.. where
upon JUST Lister imposed fine
Of 81 for reckless driving. and $40
for driving the car without a nun
ber.
Mr.. Turner. it appears, was of the
opinion that after he had mailed the
required license fee to the state
officers. he would be at liberty to
operate his car on the public high
ways. It is evident. however, that
this is not the intent of the law.
This particular feature Of the auto
law may be of interest to other
auto drivers over the county.

c. Martin and F. J. Katz. The maps
accompanying this bulletin show the
geology, structure, and position OF
the coal beds and the report gives de.
tailed measurements Of the individual
coal seams and analyses Ct the diff

The maps which are on the scale
of one mile to one inch, will not only
be of assistance to the railroad engi-

and operator with an adequate base
for planning the work OF prospecting

COURT AFFlRMs
Inflow SENTENCE

Salt Lake, April 20. Declaring the
evidence to be such that the jury
might we'll have found the defendant
guilty of murder in the first degree,
the supreme court of Utah today
handed down an opinion affirming the
conviction of Caleb A. Inflow Of muir
der in the second degree for the kill
ing Of Thomas Eddie White, a public
chauffeur, October 5, 1912. This
means that Inflow must spend the re-
mainder of his life In the state prison
unless at some future time he is ex-
tended clemency by the state board
of pardons. Genevieve Inflow, Jointly
charged with her husband OF murder
in the first degree, still faces the
charge, though she is at liberty under
bonds of $4,000. Now that 1nlow's
case is disposed of 1t Is expected the
district attorney will recommend that
the case against Mrs. Inflow be dis
missed and the defendant discharged
She is now suing for divorce.
Numerous contentious Of error and
misconduct on the part Of the trial

tribunal, which concludes its opinion
with the declaration: Indeed. the ev

Our EdSternnlOSt City

Geologic studies around Eastport
yield clear evidence that such gradu-
al land movement has lately been in
progress there and has been one Of
the most recent events in the geol-
ogIc story Of that region. for It is
known that during and Immediately
after the invasion Of this part Of the
continent by the great Ice sheet from
the northwest in glacial times the
land stood as much as 200 feet lower
than 1t does today. Even those who
are uninitiated in geologic lore can
see in the clay deposits which cover
the lowlands and locally carry clam
shells, in the gravel beds that extend
high up the hill sides, and in occas-
ional rock cut cliffs far. above the pre-
sent sea cliffs, convincing evidence

than now. When the great covering
Of glacial ice melted away o. retreat
ed north%ard the land rose somewhat
rapidly to about its present position.
and, remarkable as It may seem, there
are good grounds for believing that
its previous subsistence was due d.
rectly to the weight of the glacial
ice, and that the uplift occurred in
response to the decrease of weight as
the ice melted away-surely a re-
markable mobility and sensitiveness
in anything so phlegmatic and resist
ant, according to usual standards, as
the rocky crust of mother earth.

CERTAINTY OF PREVENTION
BETTER THAN RISK OF CURE

The Mulberry Herald sticks to it's
proposition that eugenics is fad and
a dangerous one at that. Why is 1t
any more dangerous to establish the
conditions and take the precautions
necessary to improve human beings
than it is to do likewise IN the case
Of animals? Both kinds are respon-
siye to treatment as has been shown
times innumerable, and certainly
there is need for improvement in the
human race, isn't there?
The whole purpose of civilization is
to improve on nature, and while we
may not change natural law we may
at least harness it and subject 1t to
our uses for the betterment OF the
race. Eugencs will not trespass on
the riqhtful jurisdiction of Cupid nor
diminish the charm and potency of
love, but, like the trusts and many
other human institutions, matrimOny
can be regulated by wise laws to the
ADVANTAGE of all concerned. The
science of cugenics is in its infancy
and there will be much experiment.
ing and laundering before we under
stand it sufficiently to apply it right
IL, but the theory is essentially sound
and it is here to stay ana sooner or
later TO be incorporated into the leg
islation Of every State.
Our statute books are congested
with remedial laws to cure the evils
of crime, weakness and degcncracy
resulting from unwisc marriages and
we are making slow progress along
that line; it is now time to try the
merits Of preventive legislation. We
see a great future for eugenics.
