WHEN DEAN WORCESTER
LECTURES IN OGDEN.
Dean C. Worcester, twelve years
SAC rfl tun of the Interior in the Phil
Ippinc government, has resigned his
position and will ahortl leave Manila
to begin a lecturing tour in the Uni
ted States He has placed Ogden in
his list of cities to be visited and will
ppmk here some time in December
He is a polished speaker with 26
years' experience In tho Philippines,
lii knowledge of conditions In the
islnnds. illustrated with miles of mov
ing picture films, should prove most
entertaining
During his work in the Philippines
as a government official, his depart
ment has had to cover many fields
of activity. Personally and partlcu
larly concerned with the government
and protection of the million or so
of naked savages, who are scattered
through the Islands, he has had the
control of the bureaus of science,
lands forestr and health While in
these other fields his work has been
notable, his endeavors among the wild
people first in winning their confi
dence and friendship, and then in
turning them from war with one an
other and head hunting, to pursuits
of peace have attracted the attcn
tlon of the whole world
The most important relationship
that Dean Worcester has had toward
the rest of the Filipino people has
been on the side of sanitation and
science. His combating epidemics bj'
tho establishment of sanitary condi
tions in the countr, often In the face
of opposition upon the part of the
natives, has resulted In safeguarding
health and generally Improving hy
gienic conditions among the people.
His bureau of science has won more
acclaim in Europe than it has in the
United States.
Secretary' Worcester will deliver
nine different lectures on the Islands,
three of which will deal with the wild
tribes and head hunters of the Phil
lppineB and what the United States
has done for them. Two other lec
tures will be devoted to the foresl
resources, and commercial possibili
ties of the Philippines. A sixth will
describe the health and sanitary cam
paign in the Islands, and In another
lecture Mr. Worcester will describe
the methods of educating the Filipi
nos and tell what has been accom
plished in this direction.
One address will deal with the mod
cm Manila, built by the Americans
In the last lecture of his series, which
1b bound to attract a great deal of at
tentlon, Mr. Worcester will dlscuBS
the question of Philippine lndepend
ence.
The Standard advises Its readers
to watch for the exact date of Dean
Worcester's lecture In Ogden, In or
der that the intellectual treat be not
overlooked.
on
business and new
Legislation.
Henry Clews, the New York banker,
Is neither alarmed over the new tariff
measure nor disturbed by the pros
pectlve currency measure. He Is look
Ing forward to better times, notwith
standing the outlook for the passage
of those two radical pieces of legis
lation, and this Is how he views the
business situation: .
"Railroad tonnage will undoubtedly
receive a distinct impetus from the
return to normal In the business world
resulting from tho more settled con
ditions to follow the final enactment
of the new tariff, which is now so
closely In view. There has for
year or more been a gradual curtail
ment of manufacturing nnd of dls
trlbutlon of merchandise awaiting the
new conditions that will attend tho
entrance of foreign merchandise at
lower rates of duty. Our bonded ware
houses are filled with Importations
that will be withdrawn for consump
tion as soon as the new custom rates
become operative. Oeneral business
of a domestic character, too, will at
tempt to adjust Itself to the new
conditions. It is yet to be demon
strated how atlafactorllj our Indus- ,
j tries will be able to make such an
I adjustment But for the moment thiJ
larger question is not specifically in-
volved, as (hero will be active encoui
I agement in all directions for an bon
est attempt to return to a normal vol
j urar of distribution. The restriction
lot general merchandise and industrial
activities has been so protracted that
j the ordinary channels of wholesale
distribution are without adequate sup
j plies of merchandise on hand, shelves
! of retailers are not filled with tholr
normal volume of storks, and there
has naturallv been some disposition
among consumers, also, to hold back
from purchases with, the view of ob
talning better results Reaction from
these influences suggests a period of
mercantile enthusiasm that may or
may not prove to bo fairly perma
nent For the moment, however, It
should have a stimulating influence
on the traffic statements of our great
transportation svstems, since the Im
proved volume of traffic will consist
very largely of tho higher classes of
freight which pay correspondingly
high rates
"My advices from Washington as
sert that the new banking and cur
rency bill has a very favorable pros
pect of becoming a law ai the cur
rent extraordinary session of Con
gress. If it should fail In this It will
very' likely be on the statute books
early in the regular session of Con
gress, which convenes In December
There is a feature in this connection
that is of particular Interest In Stock
Kxchange circles I refer to the pos
sible greater stability that will ac
crue to money rates when the law
comep into successful operation For
many years one of the main influ
ences against more active purchases
of American securities by foreign In
veBtors has been the fear of the peri
odical excessively high money rates,
which usually shakes confidence in
such Investments With their ceh
tral banks in control of the banking
situation In Europe financial Interests
there have become used to a stable
rate. They cannot understand the
high rates for call money that have
so frequently been found necessary
on this side of the water. It Is to he
hoped that the operation of the new
law will effective!) prevent a recur
rence of these abnormal rates."

PROSPECTS OF TOMATO
CROP.
The cold weather of the week has
threatened damage to the tomato crou,
but so far the vines have escaped.
Had a heavy frost occurred, the
tomato producers and canners would
have lost half of this year's crop,
and, instead of a prospective pack of
800,000 caBes, the factories would
have fallen below the output of an
average year.
The weather forecast for tonight is
clear with heavy frost, but Thursday
will be fair with rising temperature
That indicates that the crisis is to be
reached tonight, with the ending of
the storm period, and that, If the to
matoes are not seriously damaged,
the canning season should continue
two weeks or a month longer.
The tomato Industry has become a
most Important factor In the busi
ness prosperity of this community
and surrounding country, so much so
that every day of good weather from
now to the middle of November means
the enriching of the people by from
120,000 to $30,000.

HOW GOPHERS AND FIELD
MICE ARE DESTROYED
Field mice appeared In large num
bers in Ogden Valley this year but
dla no great damage. But there Is a
possibility of the rodents increasing
so rapidly that by next season or the
following year they will be a vex
atious pest
In Nebraska, the state board of ag
riculture recommends concentrated
lye as a destroyer of gophers The
rowdered lye Is poured Into the hole,
and the little animals, after getting
the lye on their feet, lick It off and
are poisoned and the suggestion has
been made that, this method of ex
termination could be applied to field
mice.
When mice in great colonies Invad
ed the alfalfa fields In the lower
Humboldt valley, Nevada, kov em
inent experts found that by poison
Ine wheat and other gTalns and dis
tributing the material over the fields,
the rodents were killed off. Thlt.
ysten is easier of application than
that of searching out the holes of the
rodents and applying lye.

CHANGE IN COPPER
STRIKE SITUATION
Calumet, Mich., Sept 24. A com
plcte change In the copper strike sit
uation has been brought about by the
Injunction Issued by Circuit Judge
O'Brien, prohibiting picketing by the
strikers. The strikers are obeying
the court's order to the letter since
the restraining Order went Into effect
Monday afternoon. Counsel for the
Western Federation of Miners wl l
aek the court that the injunction be
dissolved, and failing In that, will
Beek a modification to permit picket
ing. The Injunction has encouraged Bomo
of the tomorous non union men to
return to work. The Centennial mine
will try to start hoisting about 20o
tons of copper rock dally next week
and the Copper Range mines will en
deavor to lncreaso tholr output 200
tons a day.

Oxford Professor of Assyriol

First Temple of Learning Con
ducted by Priests Near
Nippur.
Philadelphia, Sept. 24 Records of
the first temple of learning in the
world, where the original exponents
of the liturgical system congregated,
have Just been disnered by Prof.
Stephen Herbert Langdon, professor
of Assvrlology in Oxford, who Is now
Investigating the Nippur collection of
the University of IVnns l anla. The
tablets were collected in three expedi
tions to Nippur in the southern part
of Babylonia
' I have ascertained from my exami
nation of the tablets that priests had
a school In the temple at Nippur as
early as 3200 B C . and that this
school existed about 1000 vears," said
Dr. Langdon "To these priests is
due the liturgical system which
spread throughout Babylonia and As
syria and Influenced Greece and
Rome They were exponents of a
great university, the most important
center of learning. I believe It was
tho first school or learning and for
that reason the University of Penn
sylvanla collection, which disclosed
the presence of this university, 'a
of the greatest value to scholars
"The discovery will establish morn
clearly In the minds of scholars the
fact that the origin of religious or
dere existed In ancient antiquity and
that a very important religious order
existed at the temple near Nippur"
