q FTER, as well as before the
n Mountain Meadow massacre,
frequently trouble had arisen
between emigrants following the Ore
gon trail to Oregon or other parts of
the Pacific coast, and the MOrmOns,
Tor which the last named were not al
ways to blame. We were not then
accustomed, in these United States,
80 a multiplicity of sects, and the
pOlygamOus doctrine Of the Latter
Dav Saints did not meet with the ap-
proval of the majority of our citizens.
Even before polygamy was openly ad-
Vocated, the MOrmOns had been driven
from place to place, until under the
leadership of Brigham Young they
crossed the plains with hand carts
and found a home in Utah. With the
wilderness between them and "the
States" they had reason to believe
they would be free from interference.
From this dream of security they were
Tudely awakened when the discovery OF
gold in California led to the migration

and took the CUTOFF instead Of the Ore
gon trail.
There were severss reasons why it was
preferable, aside from that Of avoiding
contact with the Mormons, which latter
never played any part in our decision.
We met many Mormons when we were re-
turning east, and received most gener-
Gus hospitality from them. 1t was July
when we arrived at Fort Laramie. BY
taking the CUTOFF we escaped both heat
and dust. The scenery was magnificent,
and what was more important at that
stage Of the journey, there was plenty
of grass for the oxen.
On becoming better acquainted with
the history of the region traversed by
the CUTOFF, became anxious to learn
its exact course, but found it no easy
matter to ascertain this definitely. There
is little mention in histories Of Lander's
cutoff, except in a general way. At
length I wrote to the wyoming historical
library for the desired information. The
answer received was unsatisfactory, al
though it gave me a clue to the route
Had I applied to our own historical Ii
brary instead, would have been fur
nished with the exact information Of
which I was in search, as learned on
my recent visit to this institution.
Many MontananS came here over the
CUTOFF, and like myself would like tC
be able to trace the course they pursued

The gold fields. These left none of their
religious prejudices behind them, and
unhesitatingly showed their contempt
1or the Mormons. whenever they met
them.
In a way, the followers Of the new
Taith benefited by the coming of the
Fasteners. Salt Lake was the place where
new supplies were purchased, and the
AIOrmOns found with them a ready mar
ket for their produce at fabulous cash
prices. From the economic standpoint
this met with the approval of both par
ties; but it played the mischief with the
faith Of some Of the true believers. There
were instances Of young women Of
.5eemly appearance being induced to
marry Gentiles. and fleeing with them
20 the coast. In a pOlygamous commu-
nifty, there were none too many Of these
fair maidens for the harems Of the
church dignitaries Naturally such ad-
ductiOns caused bitter feelings, which
eliminated in the Mountain Meadow
massacre.
The government was constantly i'm
pOrtuned to punish the polygamistS-at
least those who were so openly; yet it
must be admitted these recognized and

Cold Winter Ahead

Matthews, during his daily visits to the

A committee measured Fish's fur. It
was nearly four inches in length and
very thick. Last year the hair on Fish
was only three inches long. After consid-
cradle computation, it was decided that
the temperatures this winter will be 25
per cent lower than they were last year

MAN: BUILDER

Man is the builder of his own fortune. The mark he sets is the plan by which he will work and the blocks with which he will build are the hours of today. An hour misspent today is a block mislaid which must be torn out tomorrow and re. placed. On the other hand, an hour improved today is the block laid trim and true that may be forgotten but that will stand the ravages of the storm and leave the tomorrow for other blocks.
 The time allotted to man in which to complete his building is short; old age is the task master sweeping down upon he worker toiling with mis- laid blocks. Men who misuse heir hours of youth will spend old age tearing down and re- building in feverish but futile haste to spread a protecting roof over their declining years. Not so with the man who makes every hour count in his building plan. His walls shall lefy the chill blasts of old age.

A California editor cogitat- ing on the possibility of a ces- sation of advertising says:
 It would mean that our rail- road trains would be throng- ed with salesmen whose home ward bound mail would carry fewer orders, all of smaller volume than now.
 Distribution upon the pres ent scale would be impossible. Manufacturing would fall off, with a consequent decrease in labor demand. Jobbers would find their business proportion ately limited. Retailers would make fewer and slower turn overs. Prices of all commodi- ties would take a rise that would make war prices and ante-war prices seem low by comparison"

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
TIME NECESSARY

Rome was not built in a day and mines were not made overnight. Even under the most favorable circumstances 1t is usually a long, hard pull from the prospect stage to re- alization of production and dividends, but if mining prop critics are we'll selected, intelli- gently developed, adequately financed and honestly manag- ed, they hold forth a promise of profit such as can be rare y realized from any other form of investment.
 Investors are prone, however, by reason of misleading propa- ganda fed to them constantly and persistently by designing and dishonest promoters, to expect results in jig time from ? mining development enter prise where the physical ob- stacles to be overcome must necessarily consume a consider able period of time. If they would use common sense, they would realize the folly of such expectation. On the other hand, they have to guard against being induced to par -icipate in alleged develop ment enterprises involving in- tensive labor and large ex- penditures over a long period of years, with no adequate as- ;urance that success will ultf- mately be attained.
 A well planned mining op- eration necessarily involves 3 reasonable amount of time n its eXecution.-Northwest Mining Service.

OFFERS PLAN FOR
 SILVER REVIVAL,

Relation of the American sil- S yer mining industry of the world at large and to the Ori- ent in particular, is credited with being one of the principle subjects of discussion in east ern business and financial circles. Edward s. Van Dyck, financial authority, has offer ed the suggestion that America apply the principles that un- derlay British action in regard to the rubber industry, says the Wallace (Idaho) Press Times Mining Review.
 After reciting the evils that now beset the silver miners, Van Dyck declared that Amer ican silver is in the same po- sition as British rubber. Brit ain has the rubber supply of the world and 80 per cent ot the worlds silver is either min ed in the United States or con- trolled by American capital.
 Britain never hesitated when bankruptcy threatened the rubber ind ustry, Van Dyck as- serted, adding that the United States should not hesitate when her silver industry is threatened.
 He proposes, in brief, that all debts owed the United States be made payable in sil- yer at $1 an ounce and that similarly, payments by the United States be made in the same form. Congress could easily and quickly provide the legislation, Van Dyck declar- ed.
 Prosperity i'll the west is threatened by this situation and further, by Britain's desire to establish the gold standard in India Van Dyck insists. He shows that the trade with the whole Orient will be affected.
 When Britain found she had a rubber monopoly and that monopoly was threatened, she took measures to make the monopoly pay" said Van Dyck, "Why should not Amer ica do the same?"

IF ADVERTISING STOPPED.

What would be the react on upon the cost of living if advertising ceased and it's oeneficient force were stop oed?' This question, asked by he Fourth Estate, provides much food for rumination.
 It is an interesting conjecture. Advertising largely takes the place of personal selling ef- 'ort, which is very much more expensive.
