rha s.1t 1ale rribnne calls IL a

The Salt Lake Tribune calls it a
glorious victory" Since the Trib-
une passed into the hands of Senator
Kearns and his estate there has been
nothing glorious about anything that
1t has been consected with. 1t is a
political and public prostitute, whose
services are to be had for a price.
Right this minute the Tribune is un-
der subsidy to interests that are sub
versive to the w%ellbeing of American
freedom and 1t has been the same
for the years of its present owner
ship. Every victory or other affair
that it is connected with, by its con-
Examination is inglorious and tainted
with corruption of the basest kind.
It's position is such that that of any
fallen woman is honorable and an
gelic as compared with 1t.
In this case, besides the iirty dol
lars that the Tribune has dragged in
with it's sewer-raking claws, its own
ers have landed properties on the
| Wendover route and one of the OBJ
jects in fighting the Lincoln high
way is to enhance their value. turn
ing more dirty dollars for the Kearns
estate.
In its indecent editorial over its
inglorious victory-falsely called
glorious--the Tribune attempts to
caress Ely on the back by saying that
the victory will 500 be forgotten and
all will be friends again and working
together for the further glory of that
den of thieves miscalled Salt Lake
The exact intent is that the victory is
so glorious that it will never be for
gotten by those who think they have
won something, but those who seem
to have lost will soon forget and will
be caught in the same trap on some
future occasion.
Right there is where the Tribune
and everyone else backing the Wen
dover fake is sadly mistaken. Ely
may be apathetic for the time, but
in case this little political sideshow
turns out in the end to defeat the
Lincoln highway Mr.. Tribune can
put this in his pipe and smoke it,
that it will not be forgotten in the
next two generations. Salt Lake has
started something that it cannot fin
ish. 1t has placed itself in the same
position of that of a winner of a des-
perate county seat fight of the Kan
a sort. where towns that locked
horns more than fifty years ago have
kept the embers of their hatred alive
and are boyeotting the winner TO this
day. with indications that The same
will continue for another half CEN
fury. Ely may lack commercial
leadership just o and truly has
passed this even over for a part of
its second week without holding a
mass meeting in protest, but If these
Salt Lake blacklegs were not so cap
tious they would take note If the
old truth that still water runs deeply.
and they will learn as they grow old.
er that the only event that will cause
this glorious victory" to be forgot
ten in Ely is when this town joins
the desert ghost cities of lone and
Calico and loses its last inhabitant.
And those who go will carry with
them the memory of oneao the causes
that acted to drive them hence.

Furniture style Originated 1850.

The story OF modern furniture
rightly begins with the crumbling Of
the Middle ages. The baronlal hall
stage, with It's religious formality,
combined with Its rugged simplicity,
was being followed by a o With
drawn, domestic and luxurious life.
AS always, this WAS reflected in the
furniture. The strong and simple high
and narrow Gothic style, with Its char
acteristic pointed arch. began TO be
debased. France Is said to be the
first country to be influenced by the
Italian Renaissance, but there the
Gothic and the classic clashed. The
process Of grating the Italian style
on the Gothic hardly began In England
until 1850. when 1t was nearly com
pleted in France. BY the end of Eliza
beth,'s reign, 1908, there was a SEM
blance of unity, and the J~acobean
period created itself.

ployer for accepting the c%ongratula-
tions for my editorial with such be-
coming yet modest pride?


hsI
There is a place where the word
unusual had an unusual meaning.
That place is Medford, Ore.-time,
during the fruit land boom OF
1909-10. 1t rains in Oregon some
times, it stays cloudy quite a little.
it has its ways of getting cool and
shivery and staying that way for con-
siderable spells, and again 1t even
gets hot and sultry. Once IN a while
1t SHOWS and the black, sticky soil
there sometimes has more paste in
il than ordinarily. The %hardpan I'M
der a lot OF the country has n way
of making the water stand on the
surface for what appear to be un-
necessarily long periods.
The stranger coming into the web
foot country observes these things
and remarks upon them. The ten
derfoot is told not to mind, for this
or that or whatever it is at the mo-
ment Is unusual.
So il has come to be the saying
that the first word the Oregonians
teach their babies to speak IS not
papa" or mama but unusual
and they've all got it down pat.

GROW MORE TREES

"If you have some rough, rocky,
dry waste land on your farm, let 1t
grow timber for you," says Prof. E
H. Steffens of the forestry depart
ment of the State college. IF you
have no trees around your farm build
ings plant some and see how they
improve the looks of your place in a
few years. If the wind makes life
uncomfortable for you and your stock
plant shelterbelt of trees which
will grow up and keep the wind away
from your buildings and feediots. If
soil from the fields is being blown
away windbreak of trees will not
only prevent the wind erosion Of soil
from your fields, but the windbreak
will help catch the soil blowing from
your ne.ghbor's fields.
III you live in town a few well To-
Gated trees along the street and
around the house will provide shade
and beautifully your place. OF course
trees grow slowly, but future genera
lions will reap the benefit and en-
joyment from the trees II you do not.
III you have a place where trees
should be growing or you think they
would grow or where you would like
to have them grow you may obtain

Every year makes the forest prob.
lem of the United States more clear,
says Col. William B. Greeley, chief
of the forest service, United States
department of agriculture. The prob
lem has two main features. The first
feature is the rising cost Of timber pro-
ducts, which is due primarily to
heavier transportation charges from
more and more distant sources Of
supply. The second feature is the un.
productive conditions Of immense
areas Of land which are not adopted
to agriculture.

How to Start tho Homo Flock.

In starting the home flock OF
chickens, decide first of all what you
want. II you want eggs, and very lit
tie meat, start with Leghorns, An.
eonas or Minorcas. Where you want
meat and eggs, start with Rocks, Reds
or Wyandottes. II you want princi-
pally meat, start with Brahams,
Langshans or Cochins.
Where you have one of these
breeds already. and it suits your pur.
pose. select the most vigorous hens,
preferably one or two years old, for
breeders. Next, secure a cockerel not
related to these hens and mate them.
One cockerel to 18 hens for Leghorns,
cockerel to IL hens for the Rocks,
Reds or Wyandottes, and 1 cockerel
to 10 hens for the heavy breeds. In
selecting a cockerel get one that is
100 per cent vigorous. II you want lots
of eggs. get cockerel from a dam
with high trap nest record.
In case you have chickens that you
do not want, or II any of them have
tuberculosis, sell the entire flock and
start over. 1t is always possible to get
good stock. A dozen hens and a
rooster can be bought for $500 to
$4,000. You can start with four hens
and 60 Matching eggs at cost of
$500 to $4,000; but you will not have
many eggs to eat till the pullets start
laying In the fall. You can buy 100
day-old chicks at a cost of $500 to
$4,000, and raise 40 pullets that will
cost you at laying age about $4,000
You can start In any one of these
ways at half the cost by buying poor
stock: but they will cost you ten
times as much In the end.
There is nothing so palatable as a
fresh laid egg. A dozen good hens.
