this Is the really splendid structure of the
Utah hotel and below that the granite face
of the Continental National batik building.
Up from the street comes the roar of

sits a quiet-voiced man thinking the big

of a dreamer who Is making his visions

"No, sir," was his quick answer. "I be

' Such a man is N. T. Porter, who told me
this morning that his plans ar now ma

that Porter's plans will work out. And

"We're not ready for the settlers -yet."
And his face wrinkles Inscrutably, while

be entirely -ready when w begin to offer

It wouldhav to be at a rock bottom

What Oae Man Propose.
For a paragraph let me tell you what
this man's plans are: He is the president of
the Dank of Southern Utah,, manager of
the New Castle reclamation project, sec
retftry and treasurer of the Virgin Valley
Reclamation company, secretary and treas
urer of the Kanab Valley Reclamation
company and has a luoratlve and growing
law practice In Bait Lake City ao large,
o growing that It takes the entire east
wing of the Uotaon skyscraper here to
quarter It. lie was born at Centervllle,
Utah, ten and one-half miles from his
office chair and has lived "since the day
before he wss born" In Utah. His parents
were pioneers, "forty-eeveners" they call
the very oldest ones her. And so Porter
declares, "My parents were forty-sev
aners." In the organisation of his com
panics he has gathered about him a group
of the wealthiest, wisest and most alert
men from every profession In the state of
Utah. He declares he will win. And tills Is
what he proposes to do;
Follow the line of the San Pedro, Unit
Lake Los Angeles railway from (Salt
' Lake southward. At Lund. Utah, this road
Iskes a shoot across country to ths Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, a distance of
about 200 miles. It will cross the greatest
Iron deposits In the world not In the west,
not In the United States, but the greatest
Iron deposits In the entire world will be
tapped by this railroad. And, singular
enough, at .Cedar City. It will pass be
tween mountains of coal on one side and
mountains of iron on the other. It Is at
Cedar City, now the largest city in Utah
south of Nephl that Porter is building one
of the strongest financial institutions In
the whole southwest,
. Kater the Viral alley.
At Uellevue this road will enter the Vlr

a great geologic formation of the earth
sit of 100 miles long; and one of the won
deis of the earth, this road enters Kanab
valley, which It crosses.
Now listen; let your eyes bulge:
Porter and his associates control every
drop of water in the Virgin river! They
control every drop of water In the Kanab
river! And they 'own outright 7S.0U0 acres
of land! Th land Is to be watered by a
giant Irrigation system. It Is to be set

the least possible price, so that develop.

friends content to take their wealth from

no doubt they rather envy the grownup

Honesty shines In the eyes of the people
here, grownups and Immature. Thus, one
of us bought a ha-penny paper, the Cork
Echo, from a poorly clad newsboy. 1'he
buyer handed him a half crown, all the
change . he happened to have.
A quick word and the boy darted off.
and though we knew that lie Knew ne
would never Bee us again, somehow we
knew also that he would come back. And
he came back, with the change that he
had gone after. It Isn't everywhere that
you would have that confidence.
And courtesy? The children of Cork (and
of Ireland generally) will shame American
children In that respect. Wo ran across
a boy coming frorn school. Eton , collar,
nnilur hat. the words "It. M. S." on the
band, books sluag In a little sack over his
shoulder, so amusing altogether was he
that we had to stop him, and when we did
we found an Innate courtesy simply unsur
passable. Hla. "Sir" was no confession of
civility, it was mere good breeding, aim
with our camera we added his photo to
our collection. - '
Which reminds one that the children of
Ireland are getting plenty of ' schooling
these days. Compulsory education is now
the law, so that in twenty-five years "Cork
and the rest of Ireland will be quite a dif
ferent country In that respect from what
it has been under the harsher laws of the
past.
And speaking of education, we ran down
to Black Rock, a suburb of Cork, to see
the famous Ursullne convent, some of
whose scholars are today making the en
viable records in our own Wellealey back
home. It is a beautiful place, close by the
salmon fisheries of the city. Hereabout
live what the natives call "the quality,"
who sometimes pay a high price for tiioee
same salmon In the spring, as much as
2 and S shillings the pound.
In the evening the crowds swarm over
St, Patrick's bridge, the Jaunting cars run
ning in and out between the moving lines.
Now one will not see so many shawls as
before even in the two years since our
last visit here the difference is quite no
ticeable, due probably to the example of
the tourists lauding here In such great
numbers of late years. There are few
automobiles here as yet, compared to the
number on th continent.
Of course the best known trip from Cork
Is the one to the Blarney Stone, which you
will find at the ,very top of the 120-foot
castle nine miles out from Cork. A fine
old castle It Is, too, once a stronghold of
the MacCarthys. The country all about It
Is beautiful, notably on the way out,
around the pretty St. Anne Bhandon
church, where for a sixpence or a shilling
to the sexton you can hear again

But do the Corkonlans kiss the Blarney

there. A twinkle came Into his eyes.
"Sure," said he, "what is the good at all
to be kissing an owld gray stone when
Cork is full of pretty girls waiting to be
kissed?"

is not otherwise prejudiced by the omis

old rule which considered arraignment and
plea as essential had its origin In an age
when the accused could waive nothing,
when bo could not testify in his own bejiulf
and was ttot allowed counsel. The rule
may have been justified then. th court
went on to say. but "thanks to the hu

these conditions have changed," and the
reason which in seine measure Justified
the former altitude of the courts has dis

this court has limfotmh attempted to dis
regard mere formal errors aid technical
ohlections not affecting any ' suhslRnt.nl

law which giveth life rather than to the
letter which klllrth."
This decision overrules a long line of
laiiler decisions by the W'lsron in supreme

laid dow li by the i tilled Statis supreme

nounces that it purposes to administer

There are climates to suit

These three valleys are the
richest of Utah's soil. Tlidie
are 75,000 acres of lund to be
brought under cultivation. Tlie
average holding will not oe

grain, or hay farms. Orchards
require such intensive cultiva

more than bring 20 acres un

enough for all and to spare.
