'B Tlint Ulnh'fl wolfnro la throatenod rH la shown In an editorial appearing H recently In Tho Doacrot Nows ro- 'H Carding tho effort that is bolng mado H by certain capitalistic Interests to j nullify tlto decision of tho, Supremo H Court ordering tho separation In jB ownorshlp and oontrol of tho Control M Pacific and Southorn raclflc Hall' H roads. Tho editorial follows; 'tm Tho eagerness -vvilh which public 'm ntllitlos ofllclals nnd business men H generally of Southern California. m Arizona, Now Mexico and other soc- ,m lions of tho southern part of tho il country aro fighting against tho sopar- H alion of tho Central Pacific Railroad M from tho Southorn Pacific lndlcatos M unmistakably that tho commercial in- H forests of thoso sections havo much H to gain from tho grouping of rail- m roads which they doslro. And is it H ot all plauslblo that this gain ro- H forrod to could ho accomplished ox- H copt at tho loss of commorclnl Inter- H oats In sootlons further north? Ono m of tho states furthor north is Utah. H It sooms flolf-evldont and inovltablo H that it tho southorn sections provall H' in tho railroad controversy that has m arisen It must bo at cost to tho moro H northerly communities, among -which m Utah must lo counted. Tho bust- m ncsu Interests ot Utah, thoreforo, H could not bo blamed it thoy ontorod M tho fight for a grouping that would B mean tho routing ot tralllc, both H passenger and frolght, over linos that m como Into tholr .territory. Indood, it is surprising that the commercial and industrial Intorcsts of this stata havo not taken up tho matter far moro vigorously than has boon dono up to tho present time. In u recent dc clslon tlto United Slatos Supromo Court ordored tho separation in ownorshlp nnd control, ot tho Central Pacific and tho Southorn Pacific, Tho Central Pacific is that lino extending from Ogdon to San Francisco, with ItA various branchos and foedors. Tho Southern Pacific has a southorn routo oxtondtug down tho Pacific coast, across southorn California, Arizona, Now iMcxico and Texas, to Quit of Moxlco ports. Tho mllago of this routo far exceeds that of tho Central Pacific which Joins tho Union Pacific at Ogdon. Now, whllo it Is truo that a shipper may, nnd is, indoed, ox poctod to specify tho routing ot his consignment it is clearly ovidont that tho omployocs ot a system can, In vurlous ways and by various methods, dotormlno over which routo tho consignment filial 1 go. And It would bo no loss than human for thorn, oven unconsciously, without premodltatlon, to favor tho lino for which thoy aro working. Nothing Ions could bo expected, irrespective of tho Integrity nnd honesty of tho railroad ofllclals and tho mon whom thoy omploy. Drlofly, thorofore, nnd without camouflaging tho situation, it could bo expocted that with tho Control Pacific Joined to tho Southorn Pacific and Its great network of mllo- ngo ncross tho south, propondoronco of shlpmontB would bo deflected over tho southern routo rather than sent directly ncross tho country 1)y way of Ogdon, and tlio Union Pacific.

Cultivation of the wild cranberry bogs wns not attempted un til about thlrty-flvo years ago, und con tinued lu u desultory manner until re cently, when a successful menus of pre paring growing ground wns developed. Preparation of cranberry ground In tho Pacific Northwest Is an expenslvo undertaking, thc cost being around $1, 000 an acre. A wild marsh Is selected, drained by ditches, cleared of trees nnd brush, then tho turf Is removed by what Is called the "scalping" process, laying bnro tho pent of tho bog. Over tlio peat Is spread a four-Inch layer of clean whlto sand. Planting Is the next proceeding. Vino cuttings aro used for this purpose and aro pressed through tho sand Into tho peat with a dlbblo or planting tool. Tho vines are planted ten Inches apart, which makes about CO.OOO to tho acre. WILL DEVELOP JET INDUSTRY Company Formed to Work Large De posits Recently Found In Wayne County, Utah. What Is believed to be tho first Jet deposit to be developed In tho United States Is now being successfully mined In Wayne county, Utah, where recently mineralogists discovered tho. largest commercial body of the mineral known to exist In tho world. Singularly, dis covery of tho Jot was accidentally made by n party of miners engaged In assessment work for a copper company. The work of mining thn Jet begun late in the summer of last year and, with financial backing assured, Is expected to develop Into great proportions. At tho present time the work of mining the mineral Is moro or less crudely done, but lt Is the intention of the owners of tho decidedly valuablo deposits soon to Install modern ma chinery and develop tho Industry Into tho largest of Its kind In tho world.
