IP GOES DDI STEAMER DUKINU GOES TO NIliMT WITH HEAVY LOSS LpANESE BOTTOM ff Main ....... lalanH nln.r w..Have Lia'.i Been May ause oi Unknown; Due to Crash With Another Boat LIS SANC I The Interstate commerce commission on Thursday sanctioned the purchase of the Eastern Utah Telephone company by the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph company for a cash consideration of $S1,427, the reproduction cost new of the properties less depreciation. fnder the law! such purchase can only be made with the approval of the commission. The Eastern I'tah company operates-- exchanges at Price, Helper and Soofield, with toll lines from these exchanges extending throughout Carbon and Emery counties. It serves about 1000 subscribers and maintains- 223 miles of lines. A statement filed with the commission shows that operating revenues of the Eastern Utah company for 1923 amounted to $60,704, and its expenses were $54,964. It is now on a paying basis and no change in rate schedule is anticipated., If changed later, it must be with the approval of the Utah public utilities commission. The investigation made by the interstate commerce commission showed that the Mountain States company does not operate exchanges at any of the points served by the Eastern Utah company, but its toll lines connect with the latter company's system. No question of duplicate facilities is involved. It was represented that the plant of the Eastern Utah company needs extensive rehabilitation, additions and extensions to meet the increasing demand for service, and that the stockholders of the company are not in a position to raise the additional capital necessary for such purposes. The Mountain States company, upon acquiring the properties, proposes to make the required repaires and extensions to provide satisfactory service, and it appears that it is financial- able to do so. - hundred and sixty- drowned in the were J'M persons of the steamship Tariet Maru northwest of riok-oiJi Cape Notoro, o'clock the night of 10.45 at to the a 27th, dispatch saysJy ioKio newspaper. sahi a leading The Tairei Maru, nominally is a eight steamship, but was carrying She is op number of passengers.

In the one we saw two men one small, with a pugnacious little mustache, the other tall and lean and graceful as a greyhound took their places at opposite ends of the dancing mat. Euch drew a knife with a scorn ful gesture and threw It Into the cen ter of the circle. The music took a defiant, crowing note. It sounded as if two cocks were challenging each other, writes Edward A. Salisbury in Asia Magazine. Musicians and dancers seemed to imitate some familiar animal of field or forest. In a wonderfully timed series of steps and gestures the men rushed forward, back end forward again; then, with fierce gesticulations, they snatched up their knives and fell to. The steel glittered in the sunlight as the fighters circled about each other, nostrils distended and eyes gleaming, until, with a sudden motion as swift as the spur thrust of a ban tarn cock striking for the kill, the little man, grasping the knife arm of the tall one and wrenching it sidewlse and down, forced him to his knees. --Then. Just as the aggressor swung up his weapon for the death blow, the man at his feet broke loose and flung away In a desperate whirl. They closed again and this time each managed to grip the knife wrist of his opponent. They stood, breast heaving against breast, knives forced high In the air. as their bodies swayed back and forth. Then both knives fell to the ground and each man fought for the other's Now the big man suddenly throat. caught his game little enemy by the neck and waist, hurled him to the ground, and, grasping a knife, appeared to plunge the weapon Into his breast. Then he proudly placed one foot on the seemingly lifeless body and swung his blade high In the air in a triumphant gesture. We applauded, for at no time during the dance, which was as scientific as a boxing match or saber duel, did the performers for a single movement lose time with the music.

So declared Prof. Fablo Fassetto of the University of Bologna, In a paper presented to the American Association of Anatomists at their meeting in Buffalo, N. Y. The evidence is from a recent examination of the bones of the great poet. The most important feature of the skeleton Is the large capacity of the cranium or brain case. This is 1,700 cubic centimeters, or much more than the average even among men of high Intellect. Dante's height was about 5 feet 5 inches. The shape of the bones of the head definitely Identifies Dante, according to Professor Fassetto, with the Mediterranean race, contrary to the opinions of those who believed the poet's name and family to have been of German origin. Compared with the size of his head, Dante had a small face, the bones show; and his features were not symmetrical, there being a marked deviation of the nose toward the right. Spinal bones showed evidences of arthritis, or inflammation of the joints. Bonaparte Saves Paris Once again the municipal government of Paris is blessing the name of "the little Corsican bandit," one of Napoleon's nicknames. It seems that Bonaparte in his day, for inscrutable reasons of his own, passed a law prohibiting the too glaring illumination of Paris streets. This old law, never renealed of course, according to cus torn in democratic countries, has been called In now, when there are protests against the creation of a great white way In the neigborhood of the Opera.

The proportion of real estate sold for 1923 taxes in Davis county was less than in any other county in the state, Mark Tut tie, state auditor, said, following an audit made to determine the amount of money due the state from the county because of state taxes. Sales amounted to 2.7 per cent. Virtually 100 per cent of the personal property tax was collected. Many Dialect Found in "English" Language The English language, observes the Kansas City Times, belongs to the Teutonic branch of the fnmily. It Is a subdivision of the low German, which in turn Is a division of the wet Germanic branch of the Teutonic group. It Is customary to divide the language Into three periods. Anglo-Saxo- n or old English middle English (lOttf-1500- ) and mod ern English, from 1500 to the present. The year 449 marked the Invasion of Britain by the first of the Teutonic, or low German, tribes who overran the island in the Fifth and Sixth centuries. The Invaders found In Britain a race of people who spoke a Celtic dialect, and these, after 150 years of Incessant fighting, were driven Into Wales and Cornwall. The conqueror's speech, to Is which the name of Anglo-Saxogiven, became the language of the country and the foundation upon which modern English Is built. During the centuries before 1000 many words were taken from the Celtic tribes. In the Sixth century came Roman Christianity and the addition of many Latin terms and grammatical forms. The Danish conquest of the Island added considerable of the Scan dinavian element. The middle English period began with the conquest of England by Wil liam, duke of Normandy, who broke the power In Harold at the battle of Hastings In' 1066. The French lan guage was spoken for the next two centuries by the upper classes, law courts and schools. The conquered people held on its Hps the English language and finally It became domi nant. About 1250 the two languages began to merge, English absorbing al most the entire body of French. In the Sixteenth century the devel opment of modern English began. Since that time borrowing and assimilation have gone on continually through literary, commercial and political relations with other nations. n CLEVELAND (449-1006- ), Mrs. Belle Winkler left today (Thursday) for the hospital in Salt Iak. where she will be operated on for tumor.
