.TRUTH o I CONTEMPORARY CULLJNG& Quite Cool. Gee, but it was cold yesterday A morning.

Shucks I Who said panic? No body in this neck of the wopds knows what the word means, except as a matter of hearsay evidence, as the i S lawyers say. And talk about scar- J city of money. Shucks. Awhile ago, in the now hazy past, when, in spite of ourselves, a sor of panicky feel ing over some of us merely in sym pathy with conditi.ns down East, we were scared an'l couldn't help but squeeze onto the dollars which happened along our way with a lit Ac lighter grip than usual, and mon ey was really scarce for a little time. But now it's different, as you will readily agree, if you stop and think i moment. Mt. Pleasant Pyramid. Bucking the Bell.

Bingham Bulletin. Ray's Rough Ride. Ray Holdaway, Provo's eminent young pianist, arrived home from Germany Tuesday night, safe and seasick.

Provo Enquirer, Long Talk for a Plunk. And now if one in Moab wishes to talk to his neighbor in Monticello it is not necessary to make a trip sixty-five miles over a desert road. All he will have to do is to pay ht3 dollar, call Monticello on the phone and proceed to talk. The construc tion work on the line was completed Wednesday and the first message transmitted Wednesday afternoon. It is now possible to talk from Monti cello to Thompsons, a distance of one hundred miles, and plans are being made to extend the line to Grayson and possibly to Bluff. Grand Valley Tim s. A Transgressor Tried. Amasa Smith of Garlard embezzled about $800 from the R. M. B. Tel.

He is now calmly reflecting over his act in the county jail. Box Elder News. Diana and the Stork. It is quite a pretty sight to see our successful midwife, Mrs. Diana Dor rity, astride a horse and galloping thiough the muddy streets to visit her patients.

Review. Bad Outlook for Dairies. There has not been as long a stretch of good sleighing for many years as we arc enjoying this winter, but from the best informatiocn we can get there is not as much snow in the mountains as usual. It is feared by many of our farmers that unless the weather softens up in the near future so as to give a chance for more snow fall in the mountains, water will be water next summer, if we get any. Wasatch Wave. Hopeful Haymakers. The storm of the first of the week did not precipitate much snow in the valley, but from reports considerable has fallen in the mountains. Farmers arc somewhat encouraged and it be gins to look as if sufficient snow will fall to make our water supply abun dant next summer. Iron County Record. Metropolitan Airs.

Rich County News. Josiah's Jolly Job. J. F. Gibbs, plenipotentiary extra ordinary of the "American Party," fired the first shot of that organiza tion in Beaver last Monday night. About forty or fifty persons were in attendance at the Opera House. Mr. Gibbs handled his subject alright but his converts to the "American" ranks are nil. The auditors listened atten tively to what the speaker had to say, but the impression scorned to prevail that the "American" party would only get a very slight hold in Beaver. Beaver Press. The Poor Not Forgotten. Tony Wheeler of Salt Lake City was in Nephi last Tuesday arranging for a rabbit hunt on the "Ridge," on February 2, at which time 200 gun ners from Salt Lake will come down on a special train.

It only weighed fif ' teen pounds. Preston News. n It is suggested that the "bloody curve" on the Short Line railway be abolished before it becomes a human slaughter rcn, as in fact it might be called without impropriety now. The last or rcriiaps we would bet ter say latest horror there on Sun day last is so sickening that the mind instinctively turns from it for relief. A BLOW AT TAFT. H President makers doubtless read B with interest that Gov. Hughes 01 H New York at last has come openly H into the field as a Presidential candi- H date. In response to an invitation H to address the Republican Club of H New York, which had appointed a H committee to work for his uomina- H tion, he responded, accepting the in- H vitation and adding: H "I can not fail to recognize the' H great honor which the nomination H 'would confer or the obligation or H service which it would impose. Nor H should I care to be thought lacking H in appreciation to the confidence and esteem which prompt the efforts ot H those who sincerely desire to bring H it about. The matter is one for the H party to decide, and whatever its de- H cision I shall be content." A New York paper declares that H this action of the Governor removes H the seventy-eight votes of New York H in the Republican National Convcn- H tion from the list of Taft possibili- B tics. As long as the Governor's posi- HJ tion seemed to be in doubt it was pos- HJ siblc for the followers of the National H Administration, led by Represents- HJ live Parsons, Chairman of the Re- H publican County Committee of New H York County to hold back the party organization and prevent it from IJ committing itself to Hughes. This possibility is now ended. o ! ! H Mr. Darwin P. Kingslcy, President HH of the New York Life Insurance HJ Company, has distinguished himself H by printing, in the form of an adver H tiscment, a declaration against the HJ insurance laws, as passed on the re- HJ commendation of the Armstrong HJ Committee. The delicate feature of IJ the performance is that, as this com- IJ pany is "mutual," the policy-holders H pay for the publication of these ar- IJ gunients. They pay, in other words, H for an attempt to defeat the laws passed for their protection. Nerve II is a quality of considerable varia- BV tion; some have it, some not; and JH Mr. Kingslcy perhaps deserves to be HH numbered among those who arc HH somewhat generously endowed. It HJ will probably never be said of him IJ that he died as a consequence of ab HJ normal self-distrust. IJ WILSON WHISKEY, That's all. H Willi a few cigars we have that's suf- H fii'icnr, and they are good cigars ton. HJ RIEGER & LINDLEY, H The Whiskey Merchants. H
