IIow long, on Lord, how long, are the people of America to be imposed on by soft, sentimental, addlepated, . taken, or will Utahns squire the valuable block of stock? Already there are presistant rumors that the to Catipillar Traction is anxiousSteel buy the control of Columbia and merge it with their own huge holdings. Columbia Steel is one of our big industries and should be controlled and owned by Utahns. Young as the Columbia Steel it has already paid is, huge sums in dividends, in common stock and cash. Right now the directors have voted to pay a dividend for the half year on preferred stock. The dividend will amount to $3.50 per share in cash, and the balance of the dividend in common stock.

If the people of these United States are not wholly hyp his critical, the trail of Remus and folbe will closely wet propaganda lowed. If ever a blow was struck for it prohibition, Remus stand against on should put wet propagandists the run. Normal men who are not in favor of prohibition in its strictest sense, will surely be shocked into a state of Rebellion toward All in all, the such- as Remus. stand of the bootleg king against prohibition is greatly beneficial to the dry s.

AN INSANE JURY Down in Cincinnati there are two women and ten men who declared George Remus, attorney, go and millionaire bootleg king insane, less than eleven weeks after he murdered his wife, who was on her way to the court to press divorce Now Remus is held for inquiry as to his sanity, but strange to is not being held for iney theasjury to the sanity of its memquiry bers. The fact that the jury did not bring a verdict of first degree murder is prima facia evidence that the jury is insane and should be locked up for the protection of society. The sanity of a snake is not inquired into before crushing its head why should such procedure be taken in case of wife murderers?

Thanks for the buggy ride, the aristrocatic poodle that was taken to the pound in the dog catchers flea infested wagon. Funny, but regardless of whether we put aside one dollar or two for Christmas presents, it never does buy all we had expected it to. Some people have the nerve to say there is no Santa Claus. We know of course there is, because he came our way. 11$ doesn't always come in snow, but sometimes as Dan Cupids dart, swift and silenty from the bow, into the heart. The announcement that I F. Rains, of Salt Lake, has been appointed acting general manager of the Columbia Steel corporation, comes as good tidings. The Columbia Steel corporation, with huge furnaces near Provo, is one of the states biggest assests, and it is a stride in the proper direction to see a Utah man at the head of one of our outstanding corporations. Mr. Rains has been the guiding spirit in the formation and wonderful success of the corporation, and it is to be hoped that his appointment as acting general manager will be made permanent. An opportunity knocks at the door of Utah. The family of the late W. E. Creed, of California, and former president of, the Columbia Steel corporation, wants to dispose of the stock held by the estate. Will Utah capitalists let that stock be snapped up by Californians as it is sure to be if quick action is not v : 4 g t t$ 1 P P To our patrons and friends i we extend our cordial holi- day greetings ; and a Our best wishes for the New S Year, trusting that it may ' . bring happiness, success and Flexible Flyer Sleds The Seasons Greetings and A Prosperous New Year profit w 5 iu ST4rrr4-4r4r't'r4'41''TW-4-4-t-4- ri $a I I iI |
