Show Forest fires destroy millions of dollars worth of timber and other property every year, and in some years cause considerable consider-able loss of life. It has been estimated from the best information inform-ation obtainable that forest fires last year burned over an area of approximately 6,000,000 acres with a total loss of at least $9,500, 000. That four glorious days and nights await the visitors to Salt Lake during this year's Wizard of the Wasatch Carnival, July 21st. to 24th. is indicated by advance ad-vance reports that have been sent out concerning the many free' and carnival attractions secured sec-ured for the event in which the entire State is showing so much interest and will contribute so ; great a crowd. i 1 There seems to be some delay in the delivery of the Chronicle to some points and particularly to Hinckley and the Abraham country. There seems to be more complaints from Abraham t than elsewhere, and it is report-; report-; ed that the paper does not reach ; there sometimes until Monday. ; Owing to the change of time of the Mail train going south ; the paper will not reach " Abraham until Saturday but t should always be there on thai 1 mail. The fault lies somewhere f between the Delta depot anc the destination but where we are unable to state. However. ' if the complaints continue t( come in, we will be compellec ; to ask the post office departmen' to look the matter up. f ' They tell us that gasoline ii now selling in Salt Lake for 12i t per gallon. That's pretty reason f able comparatively speaking, . isn't it? This condtiion has beer j brought by a new process re cently discovered by one of Uncli Sam's chemists. The process was patented in the name 01 your Uncle Samuel and given t 3 the public free. This gave thi independent concerns of th( country an opportunity to man ufacture their own gasoline at i cheap rate where heretofore e they had to go to the Standarc Oil, which had the only knowr process for reducing crude oil t ' its many finished products Since the new process has be 1 come available independent con cerns are putting gasoline on thi 1 market independent of the Stan 1 dard Oil. Hence the 12- gas oline, also a lively scrimmage foi business. all times. The pig has only a single stomach, stom-ach, and this is relatively small. The pig is, therefore, not equip-. equip-. ed to consume large quantities i of coarse feed, and especially is i this true of young pigs. They cannot be expected to do well on i pasture alone. The best grain available for the average . Utah : farmer is shorts. Where skim-t skim-t milk can be had, nothing better i can be used than a moderately ; thick slop of shorts and skim-; skim-; milk. If shorts is not available, ; somewhat finely ground wheat, I barley' or corn, can be used ! in its place. As the pigs , become older, the grinding will ) not need to be so fine, and the 1 grain rations can also be cut t down somewhat, unless it is desired des-ired to get the most rapid gains. W. E. Carrol, U. A- College. 3 After hearing many arguments . for and against the petition of the E. D. Hashimoto company for 40,000 acres of state land in - Millard county, the state land ; board yesterday reserved dec-j dec-j ision on the question. I Half a dozen attorneys were 3 present at the hearing, some 3 representing the Hashimoto com-; com-; pany and others representing . persons with conflicting claims, i The main issue involved, how-; how-; ever, is the right of the Hash-1 Hash-1 imoto company to hold state i land under the state and federal 3 laws forbidding to aliens the purchase of state lands. The at-. at-. orney general has ruled that as a . corporation, the company is a e citizen of the state, regardless . of the fact that all the holding . members are Japanese, and r consequently has the necessary neces-sary right. Some of the land board members take issue with this ruling on the ground that the fact that the corporation is adm.tted to a charter in Utah s does not make it a citizon of the ; United States nor allow it to r circumvent the fedral law on the -i same subject.
