Lester Mangum Returns from South America with a Personal Message from the President of Colombia Wel-coming Jesse Knight as the Pioneer Builder of the West Into That Country Rich Gold Mines and Vast Oil Fields a Possibility on sKnight Ranch Over 1,000,000 Acres People of Colombia Have Fine Feel-ing Toward America. Provo, Utah . - President Concho of Colombia sent message to Jesse Knight welcoming the Knight Interests in South America, and stated that he had personally heard of Mr. Knight's pio-neer woik in the Western states, and glad that he could welcome him to Co-lombia as the pioneer of South Ameri-ca. -- Every where the federal and state authorities rendered W. Lester iMan-gu-every assistance possible to this company's representatives. iMr. iMan-gu-who has Just returned from an extended trip over the property o tho Knight Investment Company in South America, states that the people of that state entertained only the kindliest feelings toward the United States gov ernment. Mr. Mangum stated that he had expected to find some dissension over the Panama controversy, but this was entirely lacking. The Colombian government is disposed to feel that this country will settle these affairs as soon as the terrible war is over in a manner that will be satisfactory to both parties. iMr. Mangum of the Knight Invest-ment Company returned Saturday evening from a three months' trip to South America, where he mado a thorough investigation into the title of the million or more acres which has been purchased iy the Knight inter-ests from parties in South America. He states that this property was ac-quired from an old Spanish grant under date of ,1637. The Knight peo-ple purchased same from Colombian holders. The property Is practically surrounded by natural boundaries with the exception of one side, and this is definitely located in the Spanish and Colombian lecords. The other thre " sides Is definitely located by natural boundaries, such as rivers, mountains, etc. This land was originally pur-chased as grazing land, and it is the most ideal cattle ranch in the world. Much of the le.nd, however, is good for agriculture and minhjg. There are about 2(,)Ao iiatis farming from one to three acres each on this tract. The property has a water front of 500 miles. The Cauca River forms the west boundary and the Magdaltna the eas-ter- boundary. The mining and oil industry prom-ises to become an Important factor on this property in the near future. ' Quartz gold mining looks very prom-- ' ising, and there is one quartz mine 'with four" parallel ledges which the I Knight- - Interefts Intend to operate. One of these ledges runs about $18 and there are three other ledes rang-ing from three to nine feet apart j which carried v'en better values than the first one. For the pant two or three years considerable oil activity has prevailed. Thfre are now two I strong American oil companies which have secured concessions from Oolom--' b'.nns .who in turn secured them from the government during the time of presidential authority to grant oil leases., Xow thse leafes can be se-cured only through an act of congress. Only about 45 days ago the only Amer-- j lean oil company drilling brought in a big gusher just a short distance from, the Knight property. According to oil experts oil will be found within khe boundaries of this property. There have been four companies soliciting leases from the Knight Investment on this property during the last few months. These leases will be snh-- j mitted to the board today. It is the opinion of those who have seen this large tract of land that it is the most Ideal cattle country In the world. The vc.rlt ty of grasses and continual y!eld throughout the year makes this section an ideal place to raise stock. Two acres will furnish abundant grass for each animal and In the Western states U. S. statistics give 22 acres for each hend. The completion of the Panama canal furnishes a world market for rattle from .he seaport near our property said IMr. Mangum. The United States purchases 30,000 head annually for the canal zone alone, last January this government made 22.0IK) acres of pas-ture land in the canal zone and this work will be continued until they have fiO.OOO acres. Thus they are preparing to take care of the ,10,000 head of cat-tle right on the canal zone Instead of depending on the market for same. All of these 30,000 head come from Colombia at present. The government of Colombia is in-troducing Herford bulls to Increase the size of the ftotk with good result. I found the native cattle much larger than 1 had any idea, the avenige weight being lOOS pounds for the Mag-dalen- a cnltle, and the averngi; price whs $71.18 per head, which was fig-ured at 7 J-- 2 cents per pound live ' weight. Tho eastern market for these ' cattle is 18 cents for corn fd and 16 cents for- - grass fed. Diseise is rare among the cattle of Colombia. The na-tive grasses grow from thrte to six! feet tall. Where there are trees I have seen it grow 13 feet. Heavy crops of alfalfa would be small in com-parison with native grasses. No irri-gation Is required as the abundant rains and the overflow of rivers furn-ishes plenty of moisture. There are 6,000.000,000 feet of tim-ber on this property. This estimate was made by government experts. It lies been upward of 20 year since there has been any internal disturb-ances In Colombia, and the best of feeling prevails under the'prerent gov-ernment. Under the constitution the mliorlty party has representation In all departments of governnunt The people of Colombia fe! confident that the days of rebellions are paiit. 'Mr. Mangum-return- s with an add! tlon of whiskers cn his upper lip and a loss of weight of 17 pounds, but nevertheless he enjoyed his trip Im-mensely and w'aa not sick a day. He state, that he f'.nnd very little malaria and did not suffer greatly from the heat. Mr. Mangum visited Bcjrsta, tlie capital of Colombia, "and found It to be a very beautiful c'ty. It Is 8000 feet rtoSe the sea level and Is con-sequently, cool; We understand from another source that Mr. Mangum had quite a time learning to sleep In the hammocks as used in the Interior, but in the tewns a canvass cot Is used which Is very clecn and sanitary. USE POTATOES TO SAVE WHEAT The potato has a place in our food list which no other vegetable occupies. .U appears, on. the tables of countless lamilles at least once a day and often at all three meals, and is so much a part of our daily food that we miss it almo.A as much as we would bread if we have to go without it. Its popu-larity is based on more than accident tr curtom. It is palatable and whole-some, supplies . much food material, and has some special food qualities to its credit. Though we prepare it in al-most endless ways as tf vegetable served with meat and other foods, we also use it for soups and salad mak-ing, sometimes for desserts, and with flour in baking.' That we can use po-tato with flour is not surprising, for the food substance' potato supplies most abundantly is starch, and it ix largely because of the starch they con.-tai-that the world usea cereal grains as breadstuffs. It will very often be found, with a little experimenting, that 13 to 12 of the flour ETAOIN that one-thir- d to one-hal- f of the flour tn some favorite recipe can be re-placed with mashed potato.1 SPECIAL SESSION OF DT H --f LE6ESLATURE.MAY BE CALLED Plan to Ratify Anti-Liqu- Amendment to United States Constitution and to. Give Soldier Right to Vote Wiile In Service. . '. ' f" That a special ore-da- y session of the Utah legislature will be called in the early part of July to consider ratiflca-(io- n of the national prohibition amend-ment and the matter of giving suffrage to soldiers in the field has been prac--( tically assured by letters which have been received from legislators through-out the state favoring such action. - The letters canio in reply to com- - rnunicatinns sent out ry Representa-tive Richard W. Young Jr., father ot the b:me-dr- y bill, and Senator Ci'lbert L. 01.;rn .to members of the legisla-ture, asking them how they felt as to the matter of calling a special session and whether they would forego their regular, per diem and also pay their own expenses. Favorable replies were received from .practically every mem-ber of the house and the senate. The matter was first taken up with Governor liamberger, who expressed himself as favoring an extra session, provided it could be held without addi-tional cost to the state. FILL YOUIi COAL BINS. , . People of Utah Should Lay In .Winter Supply at Once. Order sour whiter conl now. The Utuh Fuel adjnlnlstnitor, W. W. Ann-Btnm- Is urging In every possible way the storage of coal by the household consumer. In add! i ion to the usui.l and very potent argument In favor of this practii e, there are at this moment In Utah three spectul reasons. First. The freight rates on coil from the mines will udvance 1!I5 per cent on June 23, or practically 40 cents a ton. 1 Second. The price at the mine on lump and nut was advanced by the government onler on March 11, but tho producers in Utuh, In order to encour-age the storage campaign, did not tuke udvantage of tills iiclvtince. It Is in-- I dicuted. however, that they will do so not Inter than July 1, which would add another 3.r cents per ton to the price. Third. The crop reports Indicate an extruordinurily hc-.'.v- yield of grain, potatoes, fruit and other products, which will burden the railroads at the beginning of the cold weather. This Is likely to result In the shortage of transportation facilities, and conse-quent shortage In coal. In view of the above statement, Mr. Armstrong wants every person to place Ills coal order in writing with Ills local coal dealers for sufficient coal to All his bins, and to do it NOW, Be Honest With Yourself. Do you really believj all that yon ' say, yourself? Stop a minute and look back, and think. Are you sure of all that you assert, and have you a posi-tive conviction concerning all that yon put forth? If you do not honestly hold to everything you Bay, how can you expect others to accept your words? If you do not actually believe what you say, then you are unlikelv to net upon It, no matter how good it may be. We need to be very honst with ourselves. Evldentl He Was Annoyed.
