A gigantic egg, from the Utah State Agricultural College, exhibited at the Panama California Exposition, measures 24 inches in diameter. The professor of entomology at the College says it was laid by a hen, but the question of how it came to be so large is a secret. If we were asked to guess the answer we would guess the man lies.

That the Methodists of Canaan know good thing when they've got it, is evidenced by the unanimous request of the society that the forthcoming general conference send their pastor, Rev. L. E. Travis, back to them for another year. The request will be unanimously endorsed by everybody in the town, re- gardless. MT. Travis is not only a preacher of exceptional talent, eloquence and force, but man among men, whose optimism is never failing, his Christ ianity practical and of the seven days a week brand, his hearty good cheer a benediction, and his companionship a sun-b bath. Not only does the church need him here, but the town needs him.

STATE AUDITOR INDICTED.

State Auditor Fred L. Houston, was
indicted and arrested Saturday on the
charge of m%isapplying buplic funds.
Houston was released on bonds OF
$4,000.
The indictment is said to have its
source in the maintenance Of the
dairy, food and sanitary department
The legislative appropriation for this
department is divided into three funds
which, the prosecuting attorney MAIN
tains must be kept separate. 1t IL
charged that a deputy in the depart
ment was paid his salary from the
fund set aside for travelling expenses.
1t is cited, however, that no indivi-
dual profitted by the transaction, and
the charge is technical.

MANY FAIL TO BECOME CITIZENS.

There is general regret that SO many of the applicants
for citizenship failed to realize their hopes. Most of them
failed not because they were not worthy, law-abiding
men and would not make good citizens, but because of
technlcalltles or the strict requirements of the law, dis
crepancles between statements made in their application
papers and the testimony given at the hearing, and some
times because of insufficient acquaintance with the con-
stltution OF the United States and the details of our form
Of government. In some instances the rejection of the
applicants we'll work a real hardship; in others it will
only amount to a disappointment. Most of those who
failed to pass a satisfactory examination are men we'll
known, who for several years have done their full share
toward the development of this locality. They have been
citizens in every respect other than the exercising of the
franchise. Many Of them have children in school who
are American in spirit, and who could readily have an
swered the questions which befuddled their sires. Most
OF the applicants are high-class men, the very kind out
OF which the first American citizens were made, and the
public will share with them in the disappointment thew
have met. One case will serve to illustrate: Otto Ander-
son, for seven years a resident of American Falls and
immediate vicinity, was denied citizenship because one
Of the witnesses he advertised had been absent from this
locality for a year, and had not seen Mr.. Anderson during
that time. There are dozens of men here who could have
been used as witnesses had Mr.. Anderson known that
it was necessary, such men as r.. B. Greenwood. ID. w.
Davis or Lorenzo Evans, who have seen Anderson every
few days, and could have been used Just as well as not.
AS far as worthiness is concerned-industry. integrity
intelligence and a high sense of moral responsibility, this
county can produce few men who are the equal of Mr..
Anderson. And yet because of the strictneSs of the laws
and regulations governing, he was disappointed. Many
others OF those rejected are personally known to the wri-
ter, and without exception they are worthy men and
would make good citizens of any country. 1t is unfortun-
ate that the spirit of the naturalization laws and their
strict Interpretation are not in harmony.

The position of Councilman Davie, in opposing the
granting OF permission to the Continual Oil company to
place oil tanks within the warehouse or business dis
trlcts' should be made clear, in justice to him. He is too
public spirited to let his own interests dictate his action
IN the matter and will doubtless not vote on the matter
when 1t comes up for final settlement The fact that he
is the man sufferer at present places him in a distaste-
Iui position. With the tanks installed his insurance rates
will be 52 per cent, and others who follow him in that
locality Will be subject to a similar hardship. His OPPOSE
ton has been on the ground that he did not believe such
burdens should be imposed upon anyone, and not merely
because ne happened to be the sufferer. He has taken high
ground all the time since the application of the company
was made This explanation is due Mr.. Davie, in order that
he may not be misunderstood.

From published accounts of the grounds upon which
IL SsaS- based, the public is inclined to look upon the in
dictment OF State Auditor Huston as a mistake. There
seems to have been an entire absence of criminal intent
on the part of that official. The state lost nothing and
could not lose anything because of the action taken. The
state auditor did not and could not profit in any way. 1t
is doubtful if public opinion will sustain indictments that
call the honor of men into question where the element of
intent of wrong-doing is absent. The people want the
real criminals uprooted and punished, but they do not
want anyone to be made a victim upon technical or tri-
vial grounds.

The action taken by the legislature to investigate the
state Offices is a wise one. The legislative committee
how thorough its Investigations may be, but will discover
some Inconsistencies in the laws under which some of the
departments work and be better qualified to legislate for
having made the investigation. The investigation may
possibly produce other benefits, possibly may be of assis-
lance to the grand jury, and in any event can do no
possible harm.

ment OF $4,000 interest on the note

committee was as follows:
The administration committee has
very little to report as their duties have

ing was completed. Ventilating boards
