at pound rates for their money than
they could get at yard rates soon

| sold n lot Of side meat AT so
much n square foot, taking the run
of the side. aud the customers who
got bargains In the thick of the meat
encouraged others who had the luck
To get theirs out of the thin, SO j

STRANGERS CAUSE
CANYON EXCITEMENT

Last week one of the mine superin-
tendepts went TO Salt Lake to get two
men for some special work he wanted
lone AS an inducement he paid their
fare to American Fork and also their
stage fare up the Canyon. Good red
ticker" is rather a novelty in the cam
yon so he loaded one of the mems
grips with several bottles costing 50
per quart.
Soon after the men got off the stage
at Dutchman flat they we're missed,
but that evening they put in an ap-
pearance at one of the camps near the
head os the canyon They stated they
had no money but would gladly pay
for supper, bed and breakfast with
something more desirable than mon
ey. 1t appears that the other camps
soon learned of the contents of the
grip and there was jolly times till
day light.
About this time, the superintendent
owner of the 50 beveridge put in an
appearance and It is reported that
while he was using most vigorous
explosives even for mining camp
the two strangers were making fast
time up the Pittsburg trail over tn,
mountain TO Alta. The loss of the liz
uor caused more indignation than tn,
S25 spent in train and stage fare ant
other expenses.

The Goods That Count

You may know the pinch of famine,
You may know the the clutch of debt
There may be but little lamb in
Any fricassec YOU get.
All the dubs may try to flop YOU
Any trick to lay You low,
But they cannot really stop YOU,
II you've got the goods to show.
They may knock You down and tramplc
On the wares YOU have to sell,
They may hand you out II sample
OF little bit of HI
They may turn on you and thunder
Back you lobster, to the woods
But they cannot keep you under
If you've really got the goods.
True it's hard for you to suffer
What YOU know you don't deserve,
But it rather makes you tougher
And it stitlens up your nerve.
Let 'cm slam, and damn, and flout YOU,
Bear it all as best you can,
But the world can't do without you
If you've got the goods old man.
