REACHES EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF DAMS COUNTY. VOLUME X ROBERT KAYSVIIXE, LAYTON AND FARMINCTON M1LLER-T- MAN WITH AN IDEA HE wholesale destruction of flowers on the part of children or thoughtless people. Flowers will be so abundant that there will be no incentive for their destruction, while tourists and strangers within our gates will be encouraged to help themselves to the flowers along the wayside. A highway from Salt Lake City to Cden, bordered with blooming plants and shrubs would be a sight that would bring people from the ends of the earth to. enjoy, and the monetary return would be hard to compute. ' eon-cee- te Mr. Miller contends that .this matter should be taken up in the schools along with a practical course in floriculture and that al. school grounds should be parked, also the grounds s about all churches and public as well as about the homes. jKvery family in Davis county should hold a membership card in the association having the work along the State road in hand and there should be for beautifying cities and towns and other communities in the county. The word would go out to all the world that Davis county was the modern (iarden of Kden, a land of plenty and the most. beautiful place on earth, in which to live, as indeed, build-jing- it would be. Mr. Miller is determined to do his best to make his idea materialize and to that end has started a campaign of oi ganuation and education. The idea was prompted by an editorial in a late issue of the Salt Lake Tribune, Let Utah Bloom, and was replied to by Mr. Miller. The editorial follows: ROBERT MILLER, FARMINGTON, UTAH Robert Miller of Farmington the great flower grower of the Rocky Mountain region, is the man with an idea. It is not intended to insinuate that Mr. Miller is the only man in the state of Utah who has an idea worth while, but Mr. Millers ideas hare proved so successful in the past that when he .comes forward with something new, those who know him sit up and take notice. But few florists have achieved the ' success in growing flowers as has Mr. Miller, both from a propagation or a financial of his standpoint. , The company at Farmington are the largest in the West and the high-claflowers grown there are dally sent to market by the ton. , The latest idea of Mr. Millers is to make Utah "blossom as the rose, not figuratively, but in reality. He is now working out a plan whereby the roads of Utah, in t& canyons and in the valleys, will be made a bower of beauty. People who prefer burdocks and barley grass along the roadside say: The man is crazy, but it will be remembered that they said the same of him when he came into Davis county five years ago and told the people that he proposed to grow roses and other flowering plants in hothouses as a business proposition. When told that he proposed to grow them on an enormous scale and out here in the country, instead of Salt Lake City or Ogden, they knew the man was crazy. Now every well informed man in Utah can tell of the great success acheived by this man. The first year Mr. Miller erected 18,000 square feet of the second year 30,000 square feet, the third year 75,000 square feet, the fourth year 75,000 square feet, a total of 198,000 square feet and this year he will erect another house. During this time he has never missed 'producing his continuous crops, nor " hot-hous- es ss green-hous- e, lacked market for his product. Now that Mr. Miller has acheived success for himself and his company, he proposes to give of his time and knowledge of flower growing, to make a larger and grander success for the people of Utah. His plan, if carried, out, will add millions to the wealth of Davis county' alone and prove a never ending source of wealth to those who handle the tourist business of Salt Lake City and Ogden and the state of Utah. Many of the most influential and wealthy men in the state have the idea set forth by Mr. Miller and plans for state and county associations are being formulated. Perhaps the first section to be benefited by the idea will be Davis county, where it is proposed to plant flowers on both sides of the State road from Salt Lake City to Ogden. In Southern California roads have been beautified in this manner for a distance of 200 miles and it has proven one of the greatest attractions of that state, where the tourist crop runs into millions of dollars every year. ' It is a fact worth knowing that this valley growes better and more highly, colored flowers during the spring and summer than California. The rest given flowering plants during the short winter causes them to bloom more profusely than in a warm climate. Th State road through Davis county, is, in a large measure, already prepared for this .work so far as irrigation wattr is concerned, as trie State Road commission has a pipe line water system from the north end of the county to Layton, and from that point on south, most of the way to Salt Lake county line, water is at hand. Thus it will be seen that Davis county is ripe for the innovation. One of the strongest objections to the plan is that of vandalism, but Mr. Miller does not belive there will be a - Sense The Tribunes recent editorial, Let Utah Bloom, has evoked commendation from no less an expert and authority than R.- Miller of Farmington, one of the states leading florists. The Tribune suggested that the state and the counties devote themselves to the pleasant and profitable task of making Utah a Land of Flowers, emulating in this respect California, which has attained its syputuiton by money and hard work, and not, as is commonly supposed in the east, by a, magic fertility of soil. Utahs soil is quite as fertile as Californias, and Utah could bloom as brilliantly and as alluringly as California if the people of the state and the state and the county governments would unite in the, movement State and county aid is absolutely essential for- various reasons. There is an old maxim that what is everybodys business in nobodys business. However zealous the people might be, they would look to a central directing force for advice and encouragement and lacking it would not indeed, could not accomplish what they set out to do. If the state and county governments organized the work scientifically, private effort would then be able to direct tremendous energies in the right way and toward the prop7 er objects.' Mr. Miller proposes that the governor appoint a separate commission, to serve without pay, for this purpose, and being familiar with those competent to serve, he suggests as members of such a commission Bransford, Senator Cutler, F. J. Klesel, M. BrownBamberger Mrs. W. W. V. W. Mrs. Rice, ing, Armstrong, Mrs. J. W. Walker, the head of the state board of education and - the - presidents of universities. Other . men and - women who love flowers and who 'would be willing to serve on such a commission, in our opinion, would be incomplete without M r. Miller himself.

Niagara Falls from Goat Island to the Canadian shore, a distance fo 1700 feet was made on July 4, 1901. This slide was made with the American flag fastened to his back, and Cameroni carried two revolvers which he discharged as he flew through the air, hanging only by his teeth, and suspended on a slender of an inch wire cable thick. He has never fallen and his accidents have always resulted from incorrect landings. He will make his slide twice daily during carnival week regardless of weather conditions. The only thing that would interrupt his performance would be a heavy fall of sleet, that might so cover his cable that it would not permit the wheels of the trolley to work properly, and he may, even then, correct this by down to clean the sending a sand-ba- g wire. The wire will hang from the topmost point of the tower of the Walker bank building, hundreds of feet above the sidewalk, to two points on Main street, nearly a thousand foot stretch and the wire will hang with a great aag in it, yet It will be as rigid as iron with no danger of breaking. Cameroni can hang by his teeth longer than the average athlete can hang by both hands. The busina-to- r of buckle muscles of his jaw are harddeveloped into knots of iron-lik- e ness fully two inches thick, and when they are flexed, his jaw has the appearance and the squareness of a bulldogs. He has an unusually small mouth and is using a leather contrivance which he had fashioned twenty years ago. Cameroni actually holds his' weight by the grip of bis teeth into the leather strap. Tim leather is fastened to a short swivel of steel with a big hook, which is connected wheel which with the runs on the wire. His head is about ten inches below the wire during his flight, and his body is often horizontal during the flight. The spectacle of this man as he climbs down to the topmost point of the wire, where it is fastened to the top of the tower of the Walker bank building, will electrify thousands of people and Salt Lakers who will gaze awestricken from the streets below. Poising himself for an instant on the outermost edge of the tower, Cameroni gives the word, am an instant later he flashes through the air as he hurtles down at the spesd of an express train along the steeply slanting wire.
