K The ten thousand inhabitants of
I this canyon walled mining town deep
In drifts or snow, were waiting in I
tense excitement for the denounce

On November 21, Lopez killed a
Mexican miner and later in the day

IT THE SUNDAY
NIGUT CLUB
The speakers last night before the
Sunda Night club In the Guild Mai
of the Church ol the Good Shepherd
was Dr. Jane W Skofleld of Salt Lake
City.
In connection with her address, she
said that some of the efforts to get bills
passed through the legislature, that
would raise the moral standard of the
communltv were in a great part
thwarted by ignorance of the true con
ditions now existing The factors, siie
continued, through which civic right
eousness alone can come are the slate,
the schools and the church, and con
cerning the manner In which these
sources can bring about the desired
result, the speaker quoted portion of
an address which was given by a uot
ed labor leader before a convention of
-college professors and presidents in
which it was said that the masses
need education as a means of life.

PO00 CLAIMS HOLD
THE ATTENTION DF
COUNTY BOARD
The time of the county board of
commissioners was taken up this fore
noon In the consideration of poor
claims, that department of the county
government having become one of con
siderable importance
In the past, few months It ha6 been
necessary to classify poor claims in
order to sift out the applications of
those undeserving
A committee from Wilson appeared
before the board and requested anoth
er classification of farm lands embrac
ed in the Wasatcb farm of the west
ern section of the county. It was
stated to the board that the big farm
has been rut up Into small tracts and
disposed of to individual farmers who
desire the assessed valuation of the
lands reduced from the first to the
Becond grade The first grade valua
tion Is $140 an acre and the farmers
are of the opinion that such valuation
is too great for tax purposes
The gentlemen were given due con
Blderatlon by the board, but were ad
vised that the readjustment of the
matter cannot be taken up until slme
time in the early part rrf next year
when the county assessor shall have
presented his schedule of assessed
land values on Weber county
The board is In session again this
afternoon considering the regular
monthly claims.

Mr Marshall predicts there will be
not fewer than 1.000 by spring. Much
work has been done on the property
bv way of sinking shafts and driving
tunnels with good results. Large

SLANDER. SUBJECT OF

"Is It worth while to jostle a brother.

Is it worth while that we jeer at

God pity us all In our pitiful strife'
"God pity us all as we Jostle each
other
God pardon us all for the triumph
we feel
When a fellow goes down ueath his j
load on the heather.
Pierced to the heart. words are
keener tbau steel
And mightier far for woe than for

"Look at the roses saluting each oth-

Look at the herds all Id peace on the
plain ,
Man and man only makes war on
his brother.
And laughs In hl6 heart at his peril
and pain,

Shamed by the beasts that go down I
on the plain

humble,
Some poor felloe down in the dust?
God pity us all! Time too will soon
tumble
All of us together like leaves In the
dust,
Humbled, Indeed, down into the
dust."
