There are 21,017 boys and girls of school age In Salt Lake City, according to the report of the school census enumerators made to the clerk of the board of education. The babe of Mrs. W. P. Drotighton of Salt Lake is dead, and the charge is made that impure milk from a capital city dairy was the cause of the little one's death. J. D. Moore, a Grand Army veteran bailing from the south, was robbed of 990 and his railway tickets within a few hours after landing In Salt Lake City to attend the encampment. So long as the heavy freight traffic on the Salt Lake division of the continues Southern Pacific railroad there will probably be no more layoffs in the Ogden shops of the road. Miss Mae Barton, a school teacher, from Iron county, has brought suit against Harry L. Parker, superintendent or the Apex mine at Bingham, for 130,000 damages for alleged breach of promise. Frank Hoffman, a pioneer lawyer of Utah, died at his home In Salt Lake City on August 4. Mr. Hoffman was an old soldier, and had been a resident of the capital city for nearly forty years. John C.

Mr. Edward H. Harrlman Is on a trip to Europe. Ordinarily there would need be nothing added to this announcement beyond an exhortation to Emperor William to chain down his railroads and to other monarcbs to put their crowns and other valuables In the safe at night. But Mr. Harrlman is going off on a pleasure trip, and so many mean things have been said about him that it will not hurt any to change the tune a moment while he Is out of the country and not able to take any advantage of the lapse from the cold attitude of severity that is usually vused In mentioning the name of Harrlman. . Of all the great railroad men developed in this generation, E. II. Harrlman Is easily the biggest and the best, says a writer In the Hutchinson (Kan.) Dally News. The head of A railroad company, under the rules of the game, must work for his stockholders, whether It is for the advantage of politicians, shippers or consumers. It is his job to do the best be can for the interests entrusted to bis care. Harrlman is not only a financier, but he Is a builder and an operator. Lucky is the town, city or community that has a Harrlman road. He insists on a good roadbed, level track, safe track and the convenience and comfort of the traveler and the shipper. The Harrlman roads are noted as the best in the country. When Harrlman gets hold of a or played-ou- t track and right of way he proceeds to put It in He does not first class condition. raise the rates of fares, although he doubtless charges "a plenty," but he insists that enough of the funds go Into real Improvements to make a railroad. And that in where he stands ahead of a good many others and why Harrimanism is not such a bad thing as some people have been led to think. He makes better railroads, and there Is more need for Improvement that way than there is In some, others which are being discussed. So far as we can see, he believes In giving every interest along bis road a fair deal. He is a public benefactor from that standpoint He uses his power fairly. He Is a great man, and as good or better than the ordinary citizen who looks upon him as the personification of the money power, seeking whom It may devour. He is a strong man In the financial world, but that should not be against him, when the financial world Is the object which most of us want to reach. He Is a good American and he spends his money on American railroads, not on foreign titles, race horses, old editions or other bad habits. If be Is not per feet and we don't think he is he is no exception to the rule and is worthy of the praise of his fellow citizens for the good he does and has done. one-hors- , luter-niouutai- coal-burnin- e Quickly-Pu- t to Flight.

Pete Is a pensioner now. Heroism and long service have at last won recognition. Pete saved the lives of ten men, and for the remainder of his life he will have nothing to do but eat and sleep and kick up his heels. Pete is a .little bay mule, who for many years has worked In the Summit coal mines, four miles west of Belleville. He was never Idle a day, except Sundays, and most of the time be was far below the surface of the earth, pulling cars of coal through the narrow mine passages.

While In the mine he traveled an average of four miles a day, the total distance which he covered being 0 miles. Had he stayed above ground and followed his nose he would have gone around the earth in that time. He hauled an average of five tons of coal a day, a total of 31.250 tons, or 70,312,250 pounds. At the St. Louis market price of three dollars a ton this coal would bring $93,750.
