Now, as a matter of fact, the beat secret service agent in the world and the one most generally relied upon by the nations ia the editor of the local paper. Lei us call the town Greeubcs;h,and assume that the government has decided to build n hidden battery close by. The editor of the Greenbeach Gazette will announce in bis columns that Inspector or Captain tus arrived at the local hotel to superintendent some work for the government. Next week tenders will be invited for bricks, cement and slags. The foreign Intelligence man, reading this news in Paris, Berlin, or SL Petersburg, begins to chuckle, "This Is going to be Interesting.'' A few months pass, while foreign eyes daily scan tha paper for news of the battery. At last tha editor gravely Informs hla readers that "new guns for the batteiy now buUUing have arrived. Aha! aaya the intelligence man, "our agent ia London must have a look at that. And accordingly one day a pleasant foreigner arrives at Greenbeach. starts painting the cliffs, chat a in the evening with the local topers at the bar, and ia a good listener when yarns shout the new battery are told. Finally, be departs, and ends hla report to hia chief, who handa it on to his expert branch for close investigation. Humdrum work It aeema, but la is really only on rare occasions that romance enters the life of the intelligence, Every government has ita press department and its Intelligence department The press, department reads thousands of papers, and imparts tha gist of them to tha intelligence service. Often the military attache alone can attend to this. For example, let ua assume that a new gun has been issued to the troops. Milpapers itary aa well aa in our days of kodaks and a free press will compete in divulging facta about the guns. Compare all these data and the truth probably lies In those points on which all papers agree, so that slowly from all throe different items a picture ' of the gun may be built up. Not only governments but also private firms Interested In the manufacture of big guns, even bahka and commercial houses, use their local representatives for keeping themselves Informed of the enterprise of their competitors. Banka like the Credit Lyonais employ private press agencies to build up a history of every bank and large concern In existence. As regards the spice of tha secret intelligence service, it is Interesting to know that the supply largely exceeds the demand. For anyone who has not been in the service himself it seems incredible what numbers of scoundrels, young and old, are to be found in most navies who will willingly sell their eountry's secret to the highest bidder. non-milita- These and a few specially appointed agents are the main retailers of military secrets.

The main agents of Russia and France are ladies, while Germany prefer! mew so doe Britain. The triunmph of the French policy of employing female spies waa celebrated In Italy when a lady of the French Embassy managed to get the Italian Minister Into her toils It wsa at the time Italy intended to occupy Tunis and to establish a protectorate there. The Italian fleet was preparing at Palermo. In only two mors days M would sail, and Tunis would belong to Italy, when during on of the lovers meetings tha Italian Minister let the secret out The rest belongs to history. France arrived and occupied Tuni. Here ia another (act which may appear hardly credible, but is absolutely true. At tha beginning of the South African war, I had to consult with the intelligence department of a large German gun firm, quid for fun the chief of tbs department showed me the record of the armaments of the Boers. Well, this reoord was true to the last line, while the report of the British intelligence department contained not even the Hat of guns sold to the Boers by British firms previous to the war.

'One Who Has Served." ly well-know- n ake liJlews por-Uo- p arrest. From their stories and that of Jarvis it would seem that the la uar was spending his money in a Second South street saloon, and they were In the place. They induced him to start for home, and when they got him away from the business section they t upon him. They say they got 815 froct him. Jarvis says he hurt $27. The men are all members ot Sail Lake families, and have been reared in thia city. Their name are Jamea and Juliua Cook, Rob Watson. Andrew Burt and E. Lave. Their agea range from 19 to 22 years. NEW RAILROAD COMPANY. Articles of. incorpora tion were filed with the county clerk by the Copper Gulch A Sevier Lake railroad. The incerporalora are Samuel Newhouae, Lafayette Hanchett, Alfred J.

The present lease expires Jan. 1. The annual rental Is $4,000. A street light was ordered at the intersection of Thirteenthplaced East and Twelfth South streets. ffcvwnU communications were received from property owners who toted that errors bad been made by the county officials in not crediting them with paying their taxes, CHANCE FOR STUDENTS. Lis year's announcement concren-m- g Rhodes scholarships has been by Professor Byron Cummings J!niTerBity- - who is in charge locally. The examination will be held at the university Jan. 17 and 18 of next year. The word concerning throe final arrangements was received by Profeasor Cummings from Commissioner W. H. Harris, who is at the head ef the scholarship committee in America, and he in turn from Dr. Parkins of Oxford, who is tbe general head and supervisor of the Rhodro funds. The date selected thia Is much earlier than that of last year year, so that there will be sufficient time for the sending, correcting and returning of the examination papers before the end of the school year. This is necessary because the scholarship is not awarded to the stuilout who gets the highest standing in the examination, but other things are considered. According to the Rhodes will the following qualities in the following proportions should govern tbs committee in selecting tbe representative of their school: School Standing, SO per rent; character, 80 per cent, and athletic ability 211 per cent, and standard in examination, 20 per cent. Everything is In the hands of the lorl committee as regard the Judging. The only work done by tha Oxford authorities is in deciding from the examination whether or not the student passed or failed, and they do not even go so far as to place a percentage of excellence on the student's work as shown by the examination papers sent them. So far only two men have signified their intention of competing this year. They ere Elbert D. Thomas and Oscar Carlson, both of the university. However, the examination is open to all unmarried men under the age of 25 years who have the standing of a sophomore or higher in a recognized college or university. It is probable that the number of applicants will be large. Ur. Jacobson, who la Utah's present representative, is jubilant over the treatment received, and has expressed himself as wall satisfied with the advantages offered. Ho also reports that a student, with moderate living, finds himself as well satisfied with tbs advantages offered. Hs alo reports tlmt n student with moderate living fluds no difficulty In living on the annual allowance of $1,500. Dressed Dolls Are The Finest in the City.
