progressed SO as to secure nearly
the full width of the prism, when on
the night of October IA, 1914, a
break occurred at East Cu,ebra which
completely closed the channel. The
entire east bank for distance OF
about 2,1OO feet, extending back for
distance of about 1000 feet from
the center line of the canal, settled
vertically, and the lower strata
squeezed into the cut so that at some
points there were only nine inches of
water where prior to the movement
there were 45 feet. The canal was
closed from October IA to october
20, when a channel was dredged to
sufficient capacity for the passage of
shipping, but the movement continued
and the canal was again closed from
October 81 to November 4, 1914. and
from March to March 10, 1915. The
work was delayed because of the
daily necessity of clearing up chan
mel to pass shipping.

State Auditor Says
Teachers Are Mistaken
Utah Educational Associations Report
Shows State Report was Not Clearly
Understood.

The statement made in the general
session of the Utah Educational SEES
sion yesterday to the effect that only
As per cent of the tax revenue Of the
state Is expended for education in the
state is contradicted by Lincoln G..
Kelly, state auditor, in statement
made by him this morning. Mr.
Kelly reasserts the truthfuluess Of
the statement denied in the meeting
Of the educators that SO per cent of
the revenues derived from taxation
by the state OF Utah Is devoted to
the cause of education.
When asked for an expression On
the matter, State Auditor Kelly said:
IN view OF the fact that there
seems to be an effort on the part of
some OF the public school teachers
of the state to discredit statements
made by this department relative to
the proportion of the states revenue
from taxation expended for educa-
tional purposes, 1t may be well to
state that all tabulations given out
from this office have been specific In
their statements, and have shown in
detail the amounts expended by the
state Tor educational purposes each
appropriation being separately listed.
Statement IL Correct
'The tabulation prepared witch
showed that IS per cent of the states
revenue from taxation was expended
for educational purposes, was speci'
fic In the statement that 1t epresent

ing a great mistake in their Efforts
to discredlt such figures.
In view Of the fact that the con.
illusions reached by some after an
examination of the state auditors re-
port, showed that the facts given by
such report were not clearly under

published In the papers OF this city
during the early part OF July, show

states total tax and miscellaneous
revenue Is expended for educational
purposes. The tabulation made show
ed that during the past two years
64.5 per cent of the entire revenue
to the state, both taxes and miscella-
neous, was devoted to education

The generous provision made by

New Wealth From Western Mines,
But Greater vii, Come From
Agriculture

New York, Jan. 7.-Washington,
through the proper department, was
able to report two days before New
Years that about hundred and fif-
teen million dollars-all new wealth
represents the money value of the
increase in the output of the mines
Of six of the Rocky Mountain States.
The Washington report tends to re-
flute the statement which has been
made by some railroad managers
that the railroads which penetrate
the Rocky mountain states cannot
rely upon the output Of the mines for
permanent or greatly increased rail
road transportation. 1t used to be
said that the mines may not have
long lives, but agriculture remains al
ways with us.
Nevertheless it was with view to
facilitating mining industry in SIX
of the Rocky Mountain states that
capital In large amounts was invested
in railroad construction. when III
Colorado a railroad reached the coal
mines It was possible for Senator Hill
OF Colorado-who was at the time
senator-to abandon the use Of wood
and thereby substantially to perfect
his smelter plants.
The railroad brings coal coke from
Canada to the Montana mines and
made possible the almost marvellous
development Of mining industry In
two hundred and seventy million
pounds OF copper In 1915. That out
put far more than paid back, through
increased wealth, the sum which the
United States paid for the entire ter
ritory OF the Rocky mountain region
OF which Montana was a part. The
country will be richer by eighty'sever
million dollars through the output 81

my is opposing the British and Bel
gian forces in some sections OF the
Flanders battle front.
It is not German reinforcements.
1t Is rats.
Big rats, little rats, emaciated and
fat rats, and In fact, man eating rats
are seeking shelter In the trenches
from the wind driven fields and shell
swept structures OF the immediate
front.
A War On Rats
Shell proof but not rat proof Off
GERS dugouts are favorite haunts for
the Belgian field rats. The less for
tunate Tommies who must keep to
the open trenches, however, are not
free from the pest, and an entirely
new brand of war tales Is the re-
suit.
One company almost forgot the
Germans in the opposite trench one
night while all but the sentinels went
on rat hunt which lasted for three
hours. The following morning, when
the major made his rounds, he found
$50 bodies Of the enemy neatly laid
out in rows for his inspection. He
ordered a rat funeral en- masse, and
went his way.
False Alarms
Scores of false alarms, caused by
rats rustling the grass before the
trenches, have caused much lead to
be discharged by the British toward
the German trenches during the last
month. The Germans have made no
night attacks in this section for sew
eral weeks.
One regiment tells the story about
a daring young second Lieutenant
who left his trench and pursued an
uncanny noise hundreds OF yards.
He finally brought 1t to bay at the
edge of stream and emptied his au
tomato pistol in that direction. The
latter proved to be big well pro
portioned rodent, amply perforated
with bullet holes.
Saved Mans Life
Privates OF another regiment quiet
ly tell how big rat saved one OF
their number from possible death
The death would have been inflicted
by firing squad for the soldier was
asleep while on sentry duty. The
major appeared in the trench, bu,
still the sentry slept. Fortunately the
major frightened a number of rats
as he approached the direction OF the
sleeper and the rats leaped over the
face OF the recumbent one not a mo
ment too soon.
Rat shooting is a favorite diversion
in the trenches. Hundreds Of dol
lars worth Of British cartridges have
been fired lately at rats. and man!
a rat has met his doom.
But there seems no end to them,
