Show There a.re 5,000,000 Telephones In the Vnited Stntes PROSPECTUS of the PIONEER PUBLISHING COMPANY OF UTAH. weekly paper, The Utah Fioneer, began existence, as successor to the better known Great on June I, 1904, and has been published continuously since that lime. The venture in large measure' par.ook of the nature of an experiment, the chief object being to determine whether cr not a publication could succeed upon its merits, which was to be independent as to all forms of poli.ics or religion, but not necessarily neutral as to any, its field being the defense of the legal and political Tights of the great bulk of the people with such opposition to 'wilful wrong and wrongdoers as each individual case might call for. The characteristics of a mere campaigning sheet or advertising pamphlet were to occupy a subordinate place if any at all, and the argumentative and rhetorical phases of the production have a setting of matter of such general scope, variety and excellence as would enable all classes of readers to find something entertaining in its columns. In these respects the paper has been eminently successful and its patrons arc outspoken and voluminous in its praises, recognizing it as at once a vehicle of informal; tion and an advocate whose advocacy is unerring, unfaltering and but, beginning without capital and having to make occasional drafts upon private resources to "make ends meet,1 so to speak, its financial progress has been somewhat slower, yet by no means unpromising. It could hardly be otherwise in a field so largely and in most cases so well occupied, no matter what standard of merit the paper may have reached. Such ventures under such circumstances, or almost any circumstances, require considerable capital, unflagging energy, unfailing capacity and a long period of time to be placed upon a sound and enduring footing ; few, indeed, with all manner of advantages, attain to such recognition, circulation and influence after a year's existence and an almost unrequited outflow of considerable sums, as have come to The Utah Fioneer after an existence of less than six months and an ou lay above receipts of a comparatively trifli.ig amount, although conducted with considerably more than the average of expense. All of this can mean but one thing from a business point of view the paper can not only be made to yield revenue, but become decidedly profitable. There are, of course,' other and greater considerations than the financial one, but they might as well be considered together. New, or perhaps we might better say the revival of old political conditions in our midst are of such a menacing character and look to the accomplishment of such abnormal ends that along with the great physical and alert moral force arrayed in opposition thereto we need a and unfailing outpost whose office shall be net merely sounding the alarm but exposing the oppositions weak as well as strong places. To say that the gryit body of the people are not as capably and persistently championed b the press as they should be would be to state something absurd; but to say that all the points and phases misleading Jsirterwwy-ar- a rot and pannot be covered by any or. the. all papers whose first duty is the dissemination of news as it occurs with ccirqjcnt figuring as an attendant supplement, is to approximate very closely to the actual situation. In other words, an efficient scout, a thorough campaigner, whose business is chiefly that, while in no sense displacing or overshadowing any of the regular forces, is always a valuable if not an indispensable adjunct to them. Such does The Utah Pioneer aim to be in the great field of Utah newspaper-do- THE now well-know- n CAM-rAIC- X, HAS 3.500.000 OF THEN. The Bell Telephone Co. (ho Balance.

News that beer drinking la steadily declining In Germany, average annual consumption per head of the population having fallen from about 225- - quarts to little more than 110 quarts, would have grieved the Jron chancellor. Ko one did more than he to extend and popular.ze beer drinking throughout; the fatherland by precept and example. He had remarkable views about water drinking. In a conversation recorded by Sidney Whitman he lamented the disappearthree-bottl- e ance of England' men" and expressed his fear that the fashion of drinking water waa due not to a sudden zeal for scbrlety, but to a shrinkage In the dare-devqualities of the national character. o Many Are Insured.
