Show TRUTHS. ; H An Easter legend 'entitled "The I 'H Vine and the Oak" by Dell Dolores 'H Watts which was published in Truth I H nearly a year ago is being printed in I H Chicago for Easter cards. The style H is heavy antique buff paper, deckle H edge in old English type and illvimi- H uatcd. The card is in folder style and H sells at 50c at Callahan's and the Dcs- H eret Sunday School Union book H store. Literary people of distinction H who have seen the production think H it an ideal legend. H There is much talk about the low H salaries paid to school teachers, not H only in Utah, but in the country gen- H orally. The fact is, teachers arc bet- H ter paid in Salt Lake than in most H cities of the United States, but in H some cases here they arc far from H princely. Education costs the state H a great deal in Utah. It is a fact that H more than half the entire taxes are H spent on education, probably a larger H proportion than in any other state. H H Speaking of the Nelson divorce case H which occupied the courts for a few H days recently, a wag suggested that H the legislature should pass an act H similar to that relating to employes ' H which provides that employes assume H all necessary risks incidental to the H work they engage in. Cold feet and H other trivial matters arc unavoidable H risks in married life and the wag IH thinks they should not be legal IH grounds for complaint. jH tH Those interested in the former H Uintah reservation arc very anxious jH for the legislature to make an appro- H priatiou of $25,000 for building bridges H over the rivers which flow through it H and which, especially in the spring H time when the snow is melting, arc H not fordablc. It is proposed that H $18,000 be spent for that purpose by H Uintah County and $7000 by Wasatch H H Assistant United States Attorney H McCrea, who was formerly in part- H ncrship with Stanley Price, will con- H thine to maintain his law office in H the Hooper building, East First South M H Senators Smoot and Sutherland M have decided to recommend to Prcsi- fl dent Roosevelt the appointment of fl E. D. R. Thompson to the position H of register of the United States land fl office in Salt Lake City, succeeding H the late F. D. Hobbs, and Colonel H M. M. Kaiglm as receiver. Mr. H Thompson is now receiver and the M change to register is considered a M promotion, although the salary is no H more, each office paying $3000 a year. H The filling of the vacancy comes H quicker than was expected, the scna- H tors no doubt wishing the appoint- H incuts to be made and confumed be- H fore the adjournment of congress on H Marcn 4. Col. Kaiglm is a G. A. H R. man, an ardent and consistent re- H publican. Our senators have been H very mindful of the G. A. R. men. M Col. Kaighn is receiving the congrat- H illations of his friends on the piece H of good luck that has fallen upon H B Watkin L. Roe, who for the past M fifteen years has been with the M Herald as operator, foreman of the B bought a half interest in the Cache M Valley News published at Preston, H Idaho, and has gone north to take H personal charge of the paper, which H in future will be a scmi-wetkly sheet. H Roe knows what's what in the mak- ing of a newspaper. His friends pre- (lict.suecMs for him in his new ven- |
