Show DAILY UTAH STATE 0 STORY OF THE WEST. CROPS FOR RAILROAD TAXES Man Who Made Half a Million in Bonanza Days Is Now a Camp Cook. JOURNAL, MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1903. IRE Its in the Quality Corn-stoc- k ENORMOUS SUM DISTRIBUTED TO STOCKHOLDERS. for tho Present Fiscal Year Nearly Ten Millions Larger Than in 1902. Earning The Interstate commerce commission has compiled a set of names showing the taxation imposed upon the railroads by the various states. The commission calls attention to the confused condition of such taxation, the charges on the same sort of property being widely different in even adjoining states. The report says that in round figures the railroads contribute to the support of the government $30,000,000 annually. Despite the excessive taxation, the report showa that the raihoads have lieen earning large dividends on the The report asserts money invested. thnt the amount of these dividends for the fiscal year ending June 30, amounted to $139,310,010. This sum exceeds that representing the dividends of corresponding lines for 1902 by $9,589,700. It should be understood that the preliminary report, being compiled from the returns of the operating companies only, does not include any statement of the dividends that are declared by those subsidiary companies that have leased their property to others for operation. The income of these companies is almost wholly derived from the rentals which they receive from their lessees and from which they make their own corporate expenditures, including dividends. The lessor companies distributed as dividends among their stockholders In 1903 probably about $35,000,000, B0ST0NESE Shoulders in HAVE HUMERITIS. of Men Who Boston physicians have discovered a new disease prevalent in Boston, which or they have termed "humerltla Boston shoulder," due to continual strap hanging in the subway cars. A large majority of men you meet, says one physlclnn, "you will find, are with the right shoulder a trifle higher than the left Persona who travel long distances r on the L trains or the crowded subway curs, almost always develop this Inequality in their shoulders, and the fact Is growing more noticeable every day. Tennis players, fencers, lamplighters, sign painters, and those who use their right arm and shoulders in an elevated posi tion are also prone to the disease. "The ligaments of the right shoulder become stretched permanently after twenty minutes to an hour daily of this strain. The unnutural strain, especially from strap hanging, not only weakens the Joints and muscles of the shoulders, but also weakens the heart action and affects the brain centers, sometimes producing chronic neurasthenia in women." d, well that ends well.

Mrs. S. had social ambitions, and Hank was busy in one mining deal and Another all over the west Finally It was suld that he had nothing left; next he was heard of in Alaska. Then, with the exception of news concerning the dashing Lieutenant Smith and descriptions of his mother's entertainments, which appeared periodically In the San Francisco papers, nothing was heard of them, until the news came that poor old Hank was working for so much a day in a mining camp kitchen.

The Hank Smiths of San Francisco live beautifully, wear fine clothes and look like ready money, while poor old Hank is In Nevada trying to eke out a living. The mysterious part of the story is the money in the San Francisco end of the line. The Hank Smiths were married In Virginia City in the old bonanza days. At the time of the marrluge Hank had about $500,000, and Mrs. Hank, a school teacher, the daughter of a nurse, had an abundance of god looks, so alls -. .J There was a fair maiden of Siam, Who said to her lover, "O, Priam, You may kiss me, of course.

PERMANENT INVESTIGATIONS OF AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. POPULARITY Varieties of Alfalfa From Algeria and Turkestan Which Grow on Barren Wastes. The agricultural department is sparing no effort or expense to find plants which will grow on the alkali plains of the southwest, and place within the economic resources of the United States thousands of acres of barren waste. Expert investigators are scouring the world for these plants, and the department officials have reason to believe that in some of the alfalfas they received last year they have at last found what they so earneestly desired. Should these hopes be realised, th sage brush and cactus will give way to waving fields of grass, and vast herds of cattle will supplant the horned toad and the Jack rabblL Scientists are watching with the greatest interest experiments under way in connection with the alkali- - resistant alfalfa from Algeria. One hundred pounds of the seeds were shipped to the department by Mr. Means, of the bureau of plant industry, under the direction of Professor B. T. Galloway. The seed was obtained from plants growing on soil containing as high as 1 per cent of alkali. Speaking of the value of the plant, Professor Galloway says: If this alfalfa will do as well under the conditions prevailing in the southwest as it does in Algerin, it will be possible to grow alfalfa on thousands of acres too alkaline to permit the common alfalfa to thrive. This will be of immense importance to the southwest and every possible care has been taken to test the seed secured and at the same time grow seed for further distribution if the variety proves usefuL Ernest A. Bessey was sent to Russia and Turkestan to obtain seeds and plants, especially the seeds of the hearty alfalfas of Turkestan. He found an alfalfa growing on a very alkaline soil near Bokhara, and obtained some seed. This hns been planted by the department which will gather a seed crop if the planting proves successful. Mr. Bessey, collected alfalfa seeds under all conditions of soil and variety of cli mate and sent to the department about 5,000 pounds in all. The seeds have been distributed among persons who promised to raise them for seed purposes, the department to have the first option on all the seed produced. Previous importation of alfalfa seed from Turkestan failed to establish the variety because no seed had been raised. As a consequence of last years importations contracts have been entered Into with more than 100 persons, who have planted the seed according to instructions based on Mr. Bessey's observations and who will harvest It and sell to the department. Reports in regard to the plantings made so far have been highly encouraging. In one case where the seed was planted In Vermont in the past spring a second cutting was obtained in the latter part of July, and some of the plants were three and a half feet high Recently a train stopped at a North Carolina station, and a passenger who got off to exercise his legs saw a lank hog rubbing himself on a telegraph LARGEST PUBLIC SCHOOL.
