Everybody in general is interested lecauKe we hare a fine country that we are anxious to have people see. 9U4 of the automobile parties are composed of people with money, and iu many cases these very people are touring the country looking for investments. Coming through In au automobile they see the country vastly better than they do coming through on the train, in fact it is one of the curses of this part of Utah that the railroad strikes down the center of the desert aud only in a I'1 place-- t touches the desirable country. The real good farming lands and mines are all located back from the railroad a number of miles but these automobile parties, following a different route, see these things for themselves. They also make side trij off from the main traveled road to investi-aat- e mines, farm lands and other opportunities. We could raise and spend a good many thousands of dullars for publicity advertising and not benefit ourselves as much as we could by encouraging and attracting this automobile traffic. We sincerely hope that, on top of what we have done and written before, this appeal may not fall on deaf ears. Even though there are ala-aymany things distracting the attention of business jieople, still we regard this as sufliciently important to require immediate attention. The editor of this paper is asked practically every dJttfe the week, when he is at home, for instructions Low to get from fililford to Fillmore. When these parties reach Fillmore they do not have to ask anybody as they have in their possession a fully complete lug and map of the road from Fillmore north. Coming South from Filiinore they have to ask the same questions injFillmore how to get to Milford, uniess they have been oveftfie road before. This should be attended to and we hope it will be taken up at once. s in this issun a clipping from Evening News of SulL I.akc City, dated Tuesday, August lu:Ii, intimating that Salt Lake City will probably take slips to quarantine la is and Milfnnl. This little squib is enough to make any self respecting citizen of Milford writhe with indignation. 1L is true we have had a little sickness in Milfnid this sumnn-- amongst the children hut wc have only had one fatality instead of several us this at tide states, and not one single case has heen idciiMth-- as Infantile Paralysis. So far as wc know at the present We unu case of this disease in the town this year. time then- has not t worse as than or identified no diagno.-ccase has that derstand any hing Toxic Poisoning, which we understand to lie intestinal pi resulting probably from the eating of fruit which is partially sxiilcd ordecayed. There is nothing more precious to any comumuity or its people than good health. Auy town, which has cniidit ions tliul militate against average health, is suffering under a decided incubus and any reirt libelingacoininunity iu thin respect is certainly worthy of serious condemnation. If the town of Milford instead of having none at all, really had any iiniiilicr of cases ui this it would he only mere humanity for llu people of Milfonl to do everything possible to prevent tin- spread of tlm oisease, not only amongst themselves do everything possible but also to other comiuuiiitii-a- and we would to spread the news lor the sake of people to be on their guard but as a matter of fact there is no condition, in auy sense of the word, such as cases we this article quoted suggests. Instead of having hail twenty-threhave not had any that we know of. having several recorded fatalities we have only had one, aud that not from the disease mentioned. Of course we bass our statements upon iiifornialioii received from the attending physicians and if there is any wilier place to get accurate information, we do not know w here it is. There is absolutely no necessity for any quarantine ngaiuat Milford and it is a libel uHin Milford to link it with Los Angeles so far aa Infantile Paralysis is concerned. It seems to be well authenticated (hat Los Angeles has hail a regular epidemic of this trouble and we understand tlie jieople there are doing everything they can to suppress it aud stamp it out, the same as the people of Milfonl would do if w e had any occasion te do it.

I)erii, Secretary of a committee apimiiited at meeting held August 2nd 1012, hy the mine owners aVpl operators of the State of Utah. This meeting wus held for the purpose of investigating reminiial legislation, regarding the issuance of patenls to public ilnuiniii and tariff legislation us hearing iimui mining. One of the greatest industries of our Male of course is the mining industry. An) body, who lias read the daily pupt-r- s aud magazines of late, knows that there is a more or less of u couTused condition existing as to the law and the practice of the Land Department with reference to the issuance of patents to mineral land. Tlio decisions have not been harmonious and land attorneys who have been handling these matters, all know that something should lie done to make it easier to procure the patems and also for the passage of other legislate ii nquiring the doing of more work in order to enable the locators to hold valuable mining ground It may be a good thing for a poor niun, who does not have anything, to be able to bang mi to a piece of ground year after year by doing a minimum of work, and if it were only the occasional Korinan who is doing this, perhaps I noliody would object but an a matter of fact tlie wealthy people of the country are availing themselves of the same priviledge and piling up vast amounts I of public domain, which are not capable of being developed hy anybody else because of the fact that they, themselves, hold them and which they, at the same time do not develop hut simply content themselves with doing the minimum amount required by the law, which is very liitle. We think the law-lia- $ been perverted. While the original intent of the present Statute was good, in that it was intended to give x or people a chance to acquire minercut or it.

John Hancock, many ears ago, made the statement that the tariff not a National one at all.

Tlie work of this committee, referred to in practically I be article is to invest igato and formitluie published apian of proceeding along tlu-s- lines to secure this appropriate legislation for the benefit of our mining industries, ami it is something to which we give heartv approval.
