up and ask their bosses to let them go home it was Impossible them to continue at their tasks Employers were not very loath to let their help 00 n It would not pay to keep them at work on full pay when they were incapable of working I The heat In New York seems to stay right In that brick and mortar and accumulate Instead of radiating dissipating dis-sipating at night Then many of those streets uie regular canyons of die Inferno In-ferno with no living green thing cx ccpL the green fruit at the peddlers stands and not a breath of air stirring stir-ring of S I did not hear much about politics People appeared to be too busy to talk politics But the sentiment of business niiiii Is We are doing a good business and making money so why should we want any change In the Administration Administra-tion The German vote Is uncertain in New York but notwithstanding1 that the great drift ot opinion favors Mc Kinleys reelection S 00 Warrior Dow Is a good housekeeper housekeep-er said Joseph Elstner of southern California at the White house yesterday yester-day I am a member of the National Prison association and have visited a good many pennl and reformatory institutions in-stitutions and I have yet to see one kept l cleaner and In better shape than the Utah State prison The location of some prisons do not have to be pointed out to me I can smell them from afar off and this Is particularly true of some of the Southern South-ern penitentiaries They are wretchedly wretched-ly I kept with no pretensions to cleanliness clean-liness The penitentiary at Laiarnle Is maintained In excellent shape and they have a woman chaplain there the only Instance I believe In the United States where the chaplain Isa woman I II wont down to the prison yster day and liked very much the appearance appear-ance of the men who attended the Christian Endeavor meeting They were unusually Intelligent looking 0 S Prof Marcus E Jones Is just back after a trip through the heart of the Wasatch mountains I found a new lake at the head of the frt canyon south of Little Cottonwood while away he said yesterday It lSR furlong fur-long long and haH a furlong wide and very deep This lake could be made a good reservoir with Its capacity doubled dou-bled by building n small dam at tho outlet The water is most excellent and a storage there would be of great benefit to the farmers the valley I A Capt T F Sin lser of Salmon City is a guest at the Knutsford en route east from Boise on a short business trip The Captain expressed himself yesterday as confident that the Republican Repub-lican party would win the election In Idaho and that Senator Shoup would be his own successor However he said the margin in any event will be small Tho Democratic convention made a great mistake in throwing out the law and order delegation from Shoshone county and admitting the dynamiters dy-namiters This action set a good many of their own party against them and made the Republicans more determined deter-mined as it showed what might be expected pected from the Democracy they carried the State The action of the Ppps in discarding their ticket will make no difference in the general vote The Pops are regarded regard-ed as n crazy quilt outfit and not to be intrusted with political responsibilities responsibili-ties Duboiss Indorsement by the Democrats Dem-ocrats will not do him any good I ought not to win him votes from Silver Republicans because It simply lands him in the ranks of the Democracy a S S Immigration Agent T A Harris of Idaho Falls Is a guest at the Kenyon en

after he election there will be less than ever of It The islands area are-a good place to make money In If a man has any capital but or climatic reasons soldiers ought not to be kept there very long but given a chance for a change at home I some respects MacArthur is an agreeable relief but many prefer Otis The troops in LUzon are eager to get to China where there is some show of catching ontoa scrap This would be pleasanter than hanging around a garrison gar-rison in tho Philippines The great majority of the sentiment among the troops and sailors Is against the anti imperIalists and In
