Queer Arguments Are presented to show that Northport has n chance to become a rlty, because IT IS TOO NEAR HKIIiGEPOHT. How absurd, when you consider that South Omaha wis started after Omaha whs a city of nearly 100,000. There Is Ben Knn which has grown to a little city of S.OiM people and Is within u stone's, throw of Onmlin. Mavelock. at the edge of Lincoln. Is a good example of what n railroad can do in building up n manufacturing city. NOKTJirORT HAS TWO RAILROADS The Rurllngton station at Bridgeport Is only a little over a mile from Northport. This Rives the new town the advantage of competition In freight rates. The rivalry between the two towns will make business grow. The pride each town will have In Its own growth will make them both good towns. Northport Is to have a PRESBYTE R I AN CI I URCI t It will be locaUd on lots 1 and 2, block 2.

UGLY MEN WHO WERE FAMOUS Their Plainness Proved No liar to Their Snccese mm Heart 'Winners. "No woman worthy of the nunie," w'role one of the loveliest women in London so ciety recently, "really cares a brass farth ing whether the man she honors with her hand is handsome or ugly so long as he possesses the manly qualities of brains, physical strength, honor and so on which make powerful appeal to our sex." And certainly history supports this rather unconventional view, for the many of the plainest men of whom we have any record have not only won pretty and well dowered brides, but have been able to pick and choose among the fairest, to the confusion of their more well favored rivals. Was there ever a plainer wooer, we won der, than John Wilkes, the famous cham pion of popular liberties and one of the most dissolute roues of his day? So ugly was Wilkes that the very children ran away shrieking at sight of him- In the streets, and yet such was the spell he cast over women that "ladles of beauty and fashion vied with each other for his notice, while men of handsome exterior and all courtly graces looked enviously and lm potently on." "Give me a quarter of an hour's start," he used to boast, "and I will win any lady's hand against the handsomest man In Eng land." And he could have done It too. There were few beauties, however fair or highly placed, whose hands could not have been his for the asking, and in the very early '20s -he won for hi wife one of the loveliest heiresses of the time, a lady who refused more than one coronet to be his bride. " 'Beauty and the Beast' they call us." Wilkes onco said to a friend, "and really I cannot find fault with the description." Brougham, the (feat lord chancellor, was a man of almost ropellant ugliness, with out a solitary compensating grace or man ner. Conscious of his unattractiveness he shunned ladles' society as he might have shunned the plague. And what was the re sult? The ladles, the most lovely and aristocratic In the land, simply mobbed the "ugly lawyer," and were as proud to win a smile from him as an offer of a coronet from any other man. When any one asked, "Where is Brou gham?" the Invariable answer was, "Where the ladles are thickest." And, sure enough, there he was; and the more he repelled his fair persecutors, the more they clustered round him. Another famous "lady killer" was Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading and most Infamous figures in the French revolution. "Beyond any question," wrote a contem porary, "M. Marat is the ugliest man In tho whole of France and not merely ugly but positively repulsive in person, habits and mannerrt." And yet In his early years lie was be yond rivalry the most popular physician in Paris. Ills consulting rooms were crowded dally by the loveliest women in the French capital, pushing and poRtllng to get a word with or perhaps win a smile from lilm. That he turned a deaf car and told nhoulder to thflr allurements only ttln.ul.'iti.l their ardor, until their ptten tloi.u became so embarrassing that at one time ho seriously meditated flight. Even when he contracted a loathsome i skin disease while hiding In the sowera of Paris, he was devotedly nursed by one of the loveliest of his many admirers, whom he "marrK'd one fine day in the presence of the sun." if possible a still more repulsive man was Potemkln, the former private soldier who enslaved the fancy of Catherine the Great and by lier favor was made virtually czar of KuRhla. "Jireadful and repulsive," was the description of l.lm by one who knew him. "He has an unwieldy figure and knorkkiires. Is swarthy of skin, coarse In feature and has lost one eye. He often passes whole days In his room half dressed, uncombed, unwashed, biting lls nails and scratching Ills untidy head." And yet, nays lmiand, "tho empress Is quite crazy over Mini, as is proved by her passionate UtttiH, in which she addresses him as 'my loivd,' 'my king,' 'my Inestimable .treaa ure." " But perhaps the most remarkable of all these eases of woman's lnf:ituatlon for ugly men was that of W. Hamilton, a Scotsman of a century and a half ago Hamilton was not only preternaturally ugly but lie was terribly deformed. "His le;ti," we are told, "were drawn up lo hlJ ears, his arms were twisted backward, and almost every member was out of lolnt." In spite of these terrible physical diaw bucks Hamilton easily outstripped all the gallant In his district In tho favor of tho ladies.

RAILWAY TIME CARD c UTAH'S NATURAL BRIDGES Surpassing Size and Grandeur of Arches Kecently Discovered. RANK AS WORLD WONDERS How Urologists Arrnant for the Processes br Which the A roll I teetvre of the Klementn Was Fashioned. We used to be much Interested in the de scriptions and llustratlons In our readers and geographies of the Natural bridge of Virginia. People travel from all parts of the world to behold this strange natural phenomenon and enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Appalachian mountains, and feel well paid for their effort. But Utah is the home of really great natural bridges. It astonishes us with not mtrely one, but half a dorent any one of which surpasses the Virginia structure In grandeur and beauty. The three remarkable bridges the Edwin, the Carolyn and the Augusta which were discovered In Utah several years ago, are now eclipsed by another more marvelous structure in the same state. Overlying the southeastern part of Utah aro the "red beds" strata of red and yel low oandstone hundreds of feet thlek. For the most part this formation rests in a horizontal position; but In places sections Ho tipped at an angle of. forty-five de giees and n ore, and great faults have oc curred. Ages ago this entire region was pushed upward until It checked and cracked In xlgzag lines away from the mountain that were formed by the ma terial from beneath being forced upward through the superincumbent aandstone. Thus came Into being the La Sals, the Abahos, the Bear's Ears, Navajo mountain and the trany deep canons radiating from them. This process of elevation was a gradual one,v and, as the waters from the moun tains sought a lower level, they took their courses through these Irregular cracks and tieapis, searching for the ocean, which was then not far away. Their rushing currents and surging eddlfs wore off the sharp cor ners, sought out the soft places In the yielding sandstone, digging out deep cav erns and recesres In the cliffs, and left behind them a series of graceful curves and fantastic form that amaze and delight the traveler nt every turn. As the formation was pushed upward from time to time, these rushing torrents kept on with their work of smoothing, cutting and filling un til they have produced the deep box canons so prevalent In this section. Some times they widen out into small valleys of rich alluvial deposits and again narrow down to a mere slit between huge masses of cliffs. Nature as a llallder. This elevation and opening of the for mation often left a narrow point of the cliff extending outward for rods around which the stream had to make its way as it rushed onward in its course. The con stant surging of the waters against the barrier often found a soft place In the sand atone, where it helped to eat out a half dome-shaped cave. In a few instances, as the water swirled around the other aide of this barrier, they found a similarly ,soft place opposite the former and ground out a similar half dome on that side. When in the course of time the backs of these two semicircular cave came together, the waters found a shorter course through that opening and quickly enlarged the archway and smoothed off and rounded Into graceful curve the sides of the massive buttresses. Thus a bridge was formed and became a mighty span of enduring rock whose foundations and graceful superstructure were laid by the ages. , West of the Bears Ears In White Canon and its tributary, the Armstrong, are three large bridges that have thus been carved out of the sandstone by the forces of na ture. A short distance off from the old "Mormon trail" to Dandy crossing, on the Colorado, In Arnfstrong canon, Is found the Edwin or Little bridge. It is a grace ful structure having a span of 194 feet and an elevation of 108 feet. The top of the bridge is thirty-five feet wide, while the arch in the center Is only ten feet thick. Thus these proportions give an im pression of lightness that is very pleasing to the eye. Round about are domes and turrets fashioned by the same forces that produced the graceful lines and curves of tho bridge, and nestling In a cave worn In the sunny side of the clli'f near one end Is a deserted cliff dweller' village. Passing on down Armstrong canyon about three miles you find your way al most blocked by a projecting cliff that towers above you In amazing proportion. On the right and on the left similar cliffs seem to be elbowing you out of the way. At the right, however, you notice that the barrier has been worn away, but this Is many feet above where you now stand and plainly marks the course of a mighty stream that once forced its way among the cliffs. Continuing on down the bed of the present-day stream, now nearly dry, you find a few rods farther on that you have reached the end of Armstrong canyon and stand in .the shadow of a vast archway which the waters of White Canyon have cut through thi barrier that Just now seemed to block the course of the Arm etrong. This is the Carolyn bridge, a mas sive archway carved out of the same red sandstone formation and still showing the unfinished work of the artisan in the sharp corners and broken lines of the arch and buttresses. Nature has not yet given the finishing touches to Its work, but wind and storm, and driving sand will continue to chisel and polish until the lines are ail graceful curves, adding greater beauty to this the most ma-slve of the bridges. The span is W feet wide and from the top of the bridge to the bottom of the gorgo 1h 205 feet. - The roadway Is forty nine feet wide and the arch 107 feet thick in the narrowest part, giving such an 'im pression of massive strength and solidity that one marvels at the mighty power of nature's work. Turning to the right underneath this arch and passing up White canyon, winding in and out between lofty cliffs that send out their towers and battlement j, and In the hollows of whose seamed and scarred sides are sten the abandoned homes, fortifica tions and granaries of an ancient popula tion, after a walk of two and a half miles you stand under the area of another of na ture's wonders, known as the Augusta brldg?. It rises before you in graceful proportion 222 feet high and 2C1 feet between the abutmenta. The mnjestlo arch is ex ceedingly regular, entirely spans the can yon and you can hardly realize that It has not been designedly placed there as n bridge. The thickness of the stone arch is sixty-five feet and the roadway Is twenty eight feet wide. The Augusta, therefore. Is the queen of the White Canyon bridges. It combine masnivene-s with gracefulness of pro-portions to an extent that gives an altogether l pleasing and satisfying 'effect. Sitting within its shadow and gazing up at the mighty arch above, you woider how many age it ha taken to fashion such a mag nificent .piece of work. You climb to the ollff abov and watch th play of sunshine and shades upon the rich reds and light browns of the sandstone that form Its arch and buttresses and comprehend the gracefulness of Its outlines and propor tions as a whole, and you seem unable to tear yourself aiway from the spell of Its might and beauty. You feel you would like to take up your abode In one of the ancient cliff dwellings near by and become a child of nature again. Sarareat Not Found. By going down the San Juan river from Bluff twenty-five miles to the new oil town of Goodrldge and crossing the river over the new steel bridge now nearly com pleted, and then taking a southwesterly course of about fifty miles across the country, one may visit the recrntly dis covered natural bridge known to the In diana as Nonnezosh! (the stone arch). This Is the largest natural arch yet found and measures 308 feet In height and 275 feet between the abutments. It extends from a bench on one side across into a cliff on the other and hence spans the canon in which it Is found. This canon, called by the Indian Nonnesonhlboko, ex tends from the slopes of Navajo mountain northwest and Joins the Colorado river a few miles below the mouth of the San Juan. It is a deep, Irregular gorge, in places so narrow that one has to walk in the stream to make his way along Its course. The arch Is situated about six miles dhove the mouth of the gorge In an exceedingly picturesque and beautiful part of the canon. Thin region formerly belonged to the Nav ajo reservation, then was segregated and held open to entry for a time, and now Is Included In that part of Utah recently set aside as a reservation for the Pahutes. It Is seamed by deep gorges extending north and northwest toward the San Juan and the Colorado and broken toy high cliffs and stretches of smooth, steep sand stone, so that It is almost impenetrable. Few even of the Indians are well ac quainted with this region. It Is celebrated as the place where Hoskinlml, one of the most reserved leaders among the Navajo, successfully evaded Kit Carson in 18, when the latter taught the Navajo such a terrible lesson; but not. even Hosklnlmi seems to have penetrated as far as the Nonnezosh I. The members of the Utah Archaeological expedition and of the sur veying party of the United States General Land office, who visited the bridge to gether August 14, 1909, are evidently the first white men to have seen this greatest of nature's stone bridges. Myatle KIlna; Buttress. This remarkable freak in the earth's crust is hardly a bridge in the true sense of the term, but is more properly an enormous flying buttress that has been chiselled out by the ages and left as a specimen of the handiwork of the Master Builder. The surface formation of this section Is the same thick bed of red and yellow sand stone found in the region of White Canon, and Nonnezoshl has been cut out of the cliff in the Same manntr that the White Canon bridges were formed. It is a grace ful arch looked at from any position, and is only about twenty feet thick In the nar rowest part. This slender arm of the cliff stretches out across the canon like a rainbow. In Its shadow on the bench at one side are the remains of what was probably an an cient fire shrine. One can easily imagine a group of cliff dwellers gathered around the sacred fire with offerings to the Sun Father and tho Earth Mother. The Pa hutes look upon it with awe, and Mr. C. A. Colvllle, who took a party there in No vember, tells us that their Pahute guide, Whitehorsebiga, would not pass beneath the arch because he had forgotten ' the prayer that must be said before doing so. On the slopes of Navajo mountain you pass two smaller arches that would each be an attraction by Itself were they not overshadowed by the grander Nonnezoshl. Freaks of the F.lementa. In Pritchett valley, twelve miles by trail southeast of Moab, in Grand county. Is a stone Hrcli that plainly has been formed In a different manner from those above de scribed. All about this valley the thick red and yellow stratum lies on the surface and stands out In weather-worn domes and spirts that remind one of an ancient Mos lem city. ' In numerous plares over these bare cliffs large cisterns have formed, Into which rush the waters from the surrounding rocks every time a stcrm sweeps over this region. It happened that In one place where a cave was worn out of the side of the cliff one of these cisterns formed back of it In the cliff above. Gradually the cistern kept growing larger and deeper and the ! cave kept extending its area backward inch j Buy land ! uy it now. Every man should own a lot of land.

The rushing of wind and water ulth every storm haa kept enlarging tfi opening until the arch of the cavern has become a graceful bridge, having a height of forty-nine feet and a span of 12J i"eet.

GET THIS IN YOUR COCOANUT (V The Idea of ttuliBtltnttna; Nat Mutter for the low Product. Since the days of our cuva-d willing an cestors tho people of the northlands have been eating, for tho most part, tho flesli and fats of animals, whilo In sun-klssoit tropics the natives have been thriving and finding life one lazy, yawning dream, or dering from a table d'hote menu of fruit and nuts.

Tho Innovation will mean a merry war between the docile cow and tho humble cocoanut for supremacy, for it is nothing loss than a substltuto for high-priced but ter and lard in tho shape of an edtbl fat made from the natural oil of nuts. It the hopes of a company which has started the exploiting of tho new butter substltuto in America aro realized, the strangle hold which the beef trust now has on the people of tills country will bo speedily loosened. Tho now butter mcy prove to bo one of the st'ccessful answers to luxuriant living at a low cost. Nut butter, wlich Is made principally from cocoanuts, has the appearanco of lard and Is tasteless and odorless. Somo of the virtues claimed for It are that it is absolutely pure where butter is adul terated with 15 per cent of water and salt. Cocoanut butter Is said to be easily as similated by the weakest stomach and can bo sold at J. profit for less than 15 cents a pound. The men who are trying to educate the American public and spread broadcast tho value of the new product have all kinds of arguments to offer. They point to tho fact that today 6,000,000 more persons are subsisting on nuts, seeds and fruits in India, China and the islands of tho sea than in the meat eating zones. This ar gument is used to prove the wholosomennss of the nut butter. The new rival of the cow has already made Itself thoroughly at home in America. Much more so than the average American realizes. It is not gen erally known that a factory with a pro ducing capacity of 24,000 pounds of tha new butter every day in the year is run ning at full tlmo in flackensack, N. J. . Brooklyn Eagle.
