Along with the soft picking which am

seems to be a wave of crime settling

Thus far the wave has washed into no
better picking than that afforded BY

an attempt was made to force the Office

and thieves seldom make off with any
of the larger monuments, but ransacking
has lot to do with making granite

closer watch is being set for the office

when it came harvesting time, there is |
evident a commendable persistence o.

CEDAR CITY's BRIGHT PROSPECTS

MYTH the denite assurance that Cedar City
w will be connected with the outside world by
rail within the net 81 months, with our wealth
of natural resources awaiting only better trans
portation facilities for their development with the
construction program now under way at the prop
erty of the Iron County Coal Company, and with
the necessities of the war furnishing an irrisst-
able demand for coal and iron, of which we have
such great abundance, it appears that the clock
has struck for prosperity. That one or the 9th
err of the projected railroads into Cedar City will
be built is almost certainty. That only one line
will be built at present between Lund and this
place, is also certain. AS to which road will be
built, there may be some difference of opinion,
but the fact that of the projects is being en-
couraged and backed by the Salt Lake Route of
which it will be tributary branch, makes it APP
pear probable that the longer road, leaving Lynn
dyl and running via Fillmore, Holden, Kanosh
Beaver and Parowan to Cedar City, is the most
probable of fruitaton. The further fact that the
Salt Lake Route has had branch line from Lund
to Cedar City surveyed and blue-printed for many
months, and has been awaiting only the time when
ing the road, also adds assurance. But it also
appears probable that the activity of w. X. Yors-
ton and the Utah Development company has had
a stimulating effect upon the promoters of the
longer road. However this may be, it will all be up
to Director MaAdoo and his department to say
who shall build the road and as soon as his sane
ton is received it seems certain that actual con-
struction work will begin at once. And with the
building of the road it is believed that other de-
velopments will come thick and fast

THE DUST NUISANCE

y IGHT now the business district of Cedar City
N is suffering about as badly from the dust
nuisance as at any time in the history of the town.
The recent work performed in laying curb and
gutter on each side of the street has had the effect
of disturbing lot of dirt which is loose and is
being converted into dust by the traffic and is
waited into the stores, Shops offices and other
public places by each gust of wind which blows,
and lately these zephers have been of almost daily
occurrence.
The City owns sprnkng wagon, but for two
or more reasons it has not been used lately. One
of these reasons, we are informed by the super
visor, is that the sprinkler is out of repair; and
another reason is that the city is very short of
water. However, we believe that the necessity
is of sufficient moment to warrant the adoption OF
methods for the overcoming of these obstacles
Another winter this portion of Main Street
should be surfaced as it has been done along the
block north and south of the business district but
for the present about all that can be done is to
sprinkle the street daily. This, however, needs
doing very badly.

CEDAR CITY'S OPPORTUNITY

IF by the expenditure of 81 100000 the people of
Cedar City could double the water supply of
this valley, it would be money wisely invested and
when the fruits were fully realized it is probable
that twice this amount would not be considered
for its withdrawal again. According to estimates
by competent and conservative engineers, this
wonderful achievement can be accomplished by
means of the Duck Lake project for approximately
100000. Surely the matter is worthy of prompt
and thorough investigation, and if everything APP
pears practical and feasible, of our early and fav-
orabe action.
Some of the enterprising citizens of Parowan
Including President Day, are informed, are pre-
pairing to eXpend from $4,000 to $4,000 to OBJ
tain small additional supply of mountain water
for their, farms, estimated at about onetenth the
volume that would be yielded by the Duck Lake
proposition. This Notwithstanding the fact that
the Parowan valley has many excellent flowing
wells and aresian pump wells. The fact that Pres
Day, who has one of the best pump wells in that
valley, after fully trying it out is willing to expend
so large an amount to obtain an additional supply
of spring water should be a sufficient answer to
the persons who are arguing that it is not neces-
sary to go into the Duck Lake proiect-that am
pie water can be produced from pump wells in
this valley.
AS already stated in these columns, there is
scarcely a spot on earth where water is so badly
needed or where it would be more valuable than
right in the Cedar Valley and we cannot get too
much, no matter how many pump wells are de-
veoped
For some reason it seems hard to get our peo-
pie to see the Importance of this matter, and we
fear they will dilly daily until this opportunity of
vastly benefttng themselves shall have slipped
through their fingers and gone for ever from our
grasp If after thorough investigation by compe-
tent people it should appear impractcable, it can
be dropped and no great harm will have been done.
But if we wait idly until the opportunity has past
and then at some time in the future wake up to
the fact that we neglected our great opportunity,
the reflection of what might have been" will be
sad indeed.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

ITO successfully finance the war it is necessary
L that owners of Liberty bonds hold their bonds
if possible. Where for any good reason it is nee
essary for them to turn their bonds into cash they
should seek the advice of their bankers
Liberty loan bonds are very desirable invest
ments, and crafty individuals are using various
means to secure them from owners not familiar
with stock values and like matters. Onesmethod
is to offer to exchange for Liberty bonds stocks or
bonds of doubtful organizations represented as
returning a much higher income than the bonds,
according to information sent out by the Treasury
Department.
There are various other methods used and
likely to be used, some of the gold-brck variety
and others less crude and probably within the Inn
its of the law All offers for Liberty bonds except
for money and at market value should be scrute-
nized carefully The bonds are the safest of in
vestments and have nontaxabe and other valuable
features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds if possible, is
patriotic To consult your banker before selling
them is wise.

A VITAL NECESSITY

NNE of the most important forces of nature
~ which has been harnessed for the and
comfort of man in modern times, is electricity,
which is now being used in a multitude of ways,
even in quite small communities. 1t is to a very
considerable extent taking the place of coal oil
of gasoline, of steam, of wood and coal, and various
other heat light and energy producing substances,
and where conditions are favorable for its produc-
tion it is cheaper cleaner safer and more conven-
lent than any of these things which it is displac
ing In the Dixie country, where conditions are
ideal for the location and development of plant
of ample capacity for the needs of the various
communities in Washington county, it is proving
a veritabe boon as a substitute for fuel alone,
which is scarce and expensive there. Residents
of that section even as far removed as Hurricane
enthuse over their splendid service, which is full,
practically uninterrupted day or night, and for
power and heating purposes most reasonable
Locally the electric plant, which was built and
is owned by home company, has had rather hard
shedding Owing to the nature of Coal Creek, which
is so variable in volume and which is so turbulent
in storm periods and also to the treacherous char
acter of the soil through which the canal was laid
out necessitatng frequent alterations, repairs and
the expenditure of money, the financial burdens
of the company are such that unless additional
capital is indicted it will take it good many years
vet to get onto a dividend basis Nevertheless il
is furnishing fairly dependable service and is play
ing its part in the development and progress OF
Cedar City.
1t is only fair, in recognition of the service
that they have conferred upon the public to state
that the big men of the local Electric company, in
addition TO investing their money without inter
est or other remuneration for well onto twenty
years now have also gotten into the gap and given
their time and energy when ever the eXigencies
g n sion demanded to repair breaks in the

SOULS OF CORPORATIONS

# HERE is an old axiom of English law that
corporations have no souls. The manner in
which thousands of corporations have given their
services and their means to the Liberty loan. to
the Red Cross and to the Y, M. c. A. and to other
national efforts during the war; seems to disproVe
the truth of the saying.
The congress of the United States seems to
have adopted the view that corporation may
have soul since it has authorized national banks
to contribute to the American National Red Cross
out of any net profits available under the law for
the declaration of dividends The law further
provides that funds so contributed shall be used
by the Red Cross in furnishing voluntary aid to
the sick and wounded of the combatant armies, the
voluntary relief of the army and navy OF the Unit
ed States and the relief of the suffering caused by
the war to the people of the United States and
their allied nations.
