At a recent meeting of prominent
citizens of Utah, held at Salt Lake City
a fund of $5000 was raised with which
to defray the expense of the delegations
that state will send to the National
lrragation congress at Boise September
S to 8. A large portion of the fund will
be devoted to making an exhibit of the
fruits, sugar beets and crereals grown
by irrigation, in an effort to carry off
the prizes offered for the best displays
made at the exposition held during the
congress.
Illinois will probably be given the credit
of starting the first rual free mail
delivery by automobile. It has been start

The car the carrier uses looks like an
open buggy. To the side of the lid is
bolted a three-harse-nnwr naeniin.

sprocket wheel on the hub of the left
hind wheel, the wheels are high and
are equipped with either steel or solid
rubber tues. There may be developed
a speed of from 10 to 25 miles an hour.
Ritzenthaler says that he saves on a
trip from two to four hours and consumes
less than one gallon of gasoline.
There can be but siight sympathy with
Russia as a nation To the poor, down
trodden people who have been unmerci
fully oppressed by the grand dukes and
others of the loyalty, there is the deepest
sympathy everywhere. But a govenment

military to take a refined young lady to
their barracks as they did Mn.e Smirnoff
Tuesday and give her 5? lashes with
their horse whips, cutting through her
ciothing and deep into the tender flesh
because she made the remark about them
"They looked at gay as if they captured
Port Arthur," should be removed from the
face of the earth. The brutes who were
guilty should be hung; a soldiers death
i much too honorable for them.
The navy department ha just let the
contracts for the building of two new

j These ships, the South Carolina and the
Michigan, will be our finest fighting ships
when completed. All during the Russo

the work of the fleets of the two navies

eight-incb gun. The naval officers,
watching the fights between the Russian
and the Japanese warships, saw that
most of the work was done with the
g reat twelve-inch guns. So in the South
Carolina and the Mich gin the medium
sized guns are done away with and the
number twelve-inch guns doubled, eight
instead of four. The vessels will carry
a number of small rapid-fire guns to
repel torpedo-boat attacks.
The huge guns are carried in four
turrets, two in the front and two in the
the rear. These turrets turn so that the
guns can sweep the sea on both sides
in the front and in the rear.
The Ships are each 450 feet long. 80
feet wide and of 16,000 tons of displace
ment Powerful engines will drive them
through the water at a speed of 18 V,'
knots an hour. In the holds of the vessels
2.500 tons of coal can be carried.
Electricity lights the vessels and
electric machinery hoists the ammunition
to the guns and does much of the other
work. From the masts powerful search
lights will light the sea for miles around.?
The masts are also fitted with wireless
telegraph apparatus.
