Show TRUTHS. Frank J. Cannon of the Salt Lake Tribune, it is reported with a fair show of authenticity, has a mining property in Nevada which in a short time will make him half a million dollars. dol-lars. Wc hope it is true. The notorious Dr. Payne is again in the toils. Several times he got into in-to the mishes of the estate law's on changes of performing criminal operations, op-erations, but always got out. This time he has fallen into the hands of tjic Federal authorities on the charge of using the United States mails and the express companies for the transmission trans-mission of literature and instruments for the performance of criminal operations. opera-tions. The doctor will probably find it harder to escape from Uncle Sam's clutches than he did from the State courts. What hitherto has been aptly described de-scribed as semi business property has been selling in Salt Lake for a number num-ber of yeacrs at far too low figures as compared with business property. Business property meant property on Main street between South Temple and Third South streets, a very small area in proportion to the size of the town. Owing to the fact that the city is growing and the volume of business increasing, the "strictly business busi-ness area" is also increasing, which means that State street, West Temple street, First, Second, Third ana Fourth South streets arc rapidly becoming be-coming part of the strictly business pica. This is particularly true as to State street from First to Fourth South streets. Take for instance State street between First and Second Sec-ond South, where the Consolidated Wagon & Mhchinc Co. is located. That is now one of the busiest points in the Inter-mountain region. The farm) implement business never was better than at present, thanks to the prosperous seasons enjoyed by the tillers til-lers of the soil in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, and the bright outlook for next harvest owing to the bountiful supply of moisture wc have had this winter and spring. The automobile depot of the Con. Wagon & Machine Co.'s business is also flourishing. This week the firm has turned out two electric and two gasoline cars, Columbus Colum-bus and Bincks. The gasoline truck is now being demonstrated by the larger wholesale houses of the city who contemplate using it instead of the present method of horse vehicles. Wc have always thought that th; vertical system of writing in use in the public schools was a very bad one. The school principals now appear ap-pear to be almost unanimously against it and the chances are it will be changed to a system which will embrace speed and movement winch will be a good thing for the rising generation. Truth has championed the public schools of Salt Lake when the Tribune Trib-une and its fellow-knockers were playing play-ing the anvil chorus to beat the band. We have the finest school buildings in the world, the teachers as a whole have no superiors and the educational results obtained arc the very highest. These facts are acknowledged among educators all over this country. The fams of our schools has even spread to the Argentine Republic. Supt. .Chrislcnscn a few days ago received ia letter from Ernest Nelson, special 'commissioner of education for the Argentine Republic, from which the following is an extract: "When I visited your section at the St. Louis exposition, and during my talks with my friend, Professor Cum-mings, Cum-mings, I became convinced that the work you arc carrying on in the schools of Salt Lake City sets the best standard for the Argentine schools, as it embodies in it the principles prin-ciples of natural development of the child's experience without taking him away from his natural interests and surroundings. "I wonder to what extent I am entitled en-titled to draw upon your enthusiasm, and to ask you to help me in getting a complete exhibit of the work of the Salt Lake City schools, to be displayed dis-played at the permanent museum referred re-ferred to. I can only assure you that from your attitude in the matter depends de-pends a good deal of the future progress pro-gress in education in Buenos Ayre, which with its million inhabitants is the metropolis of Latin America. As you can easily understand, the United States is our model in education and for that reason the future course of education in Argentine largely depends de-pends on what is exhibited in its educational edu-cational museum. Of course I will bear the transportation expenses, and should be glad to run up to Salt Lake City if you advise me to do so. "I sincerely trust that you will consider con-sider the petition of the Argentine government broad mindedly and sympathetically, sym-pathetically, and beg to remain, "Yours respectfully, "ERNESTO NELSON, "Special 'Commissioner of Education Educa-tion from Argentine Republic." |
