Shelby's brigade, was massed on Cane hill
to resist 5000 Union soldiers under General
Heron. Heron had 45 cannon, Marmaduke

until the charging line passed the silent
cannon even-waited until the doomed men
were within 80 feet of Shelby's crouching
troopers-then let loose double charges OF
singing canister. Then the masked rife

bayonet countercharge. Herron,s men raj

First Pilgrim Father Feast.

As far back rs 1891 there was an 40.
tual dinner of Pilgrim Fathers, and in
the month of December. But it was
not in celebration Of the landing of the
Pilgrims Dec. %. On the contrary, it
was a feast of thanksgiving that 50
many of the colonists were yet alive and
had enough food to carry them over the
hard Massachusetts winter. The feast
occurred on Dec. 10, old style, which
would bring it to Dec. "a in our calendar.
The first real and formal Pilgrim Father
sinner was therefore eaten Dec. "a, 1921.
There was not much foolishness about
that first Pilgrim Father dinner. There
were no gorgeous French walters in
white gloves, no elegant gentlemen in
swallowtail suits, who sat down and ate
their way through long menu Of
French dishes, after which, amid the
popping of champagne bottles and
laughter and uproarious applause, the
wittiest orators in the colony tried who
could talk the most nonsense.
Not much! The eaters of the first Pill
grim Father dinner would have con-
signed the whole Ubiquitous modern
crew-French walters, orators and all
to the stocks, though they might have
drunk the champagne. There seems
never to have been time when either
Pilgrim Fathers or their descendants
were not good judges of champagne.
During the year following the landing
Of the Mayhower colonists their hard
ships had been such that 40 out Of
lOl had died. They had been in danger
Of perishing from the cold, likewise Of
starving and being killed by Indians.
BY December, 1921, it began to look as
If their settlement might be permanent,
and they held their feast, which was the
first Thanksgiving dinner eaten in this
country, as well as the first Pilgrim
Father feast. The menu consisted of
hominy, barley bread, pea soup and deer
and wild turkey. 1t is interesting to
know that there was turkey at the first
Thanksgiving dinner in this country.
Indians had been invited 70 the mid,
day dinner. After it was over the rugged
colonists had a shooting match. This
WIS INDUCED as much to impress Mas
sasoit and his braves with the white
mans ability TO aim bullet as anything
else. How all is changed nowl No
hominy, no shooting match, and the
only Indians at the feast are Of the Tam
many and Troquois cut.

in justice to himself and his party, he
should no longer continue the fight.
The same holds good for Judge Turner,
and yet while either holds the support
ers of the other are justified in main
tanning the deadlock. The RESPONSE
bility now rests with the Allen men.
Fair overtures of withdrawal have been
made them, which they have refused.
1t remains with them to break the
deadlock by offering a compromise can
didate. This has been their intention
from the first, why not now seize the
opportunity? To borrow word from
the editorial vocabulary of the P.-I., it
is " stupid for them to continue in
the present course. They cannot elect
their man, why not make sembIance
of holding their power by nominating
the compromise candidate? Otherwise,
they might find themselves left in the
cold entirely.

The New Gold Mines.

They are in the San Juan river val
ley, in southeastern Utah. The region
affected by the gold discoveries is the
four corners of Arizona, New Mexico,
Utah and Colorado. The way most of
the prospectors reach the fields is
through southwestern Colorado. The
Navajo Indian reservation lies between
New Mexico and Arizona, and Just
south of where Utah and Colorado come
together. Thousands of the mining
boomers must pass through the Navajo
reservation to reach the mines, and there
is prospect of disturbance among the
Indians on that account.
One feature of the new mines is that
they are situated in a warm climate.
Sixty miles south of the San Juan gold
field is the place where old John d. Lee,
of Mormon Mountain Meadow massacre
notoriety, lived, and there figs grow. The
precious metal thus far found is got by
the placer mode of mining. The pay
dirt is found in the banks and bars Of
the San Juan river. Another find has
been made along the Trinity river in the
Henry mountains. Whether the placer
mines will be the means of leading to
the richer, more reliable 1odes is yet
among the unknown things the future
holds.

BY VoTE OF THE PEOPLE

The passage by the national house Of
representatives during the month Of
January Of resolution proposing an
amendment TO the constitution affect-
ing the matter Of electing United

the sentiment in the country against
the present methods. II Is now pro-
posed by the house to provide for their
election by the people, as other public
officers are elected, instead Of by the

President Harrison is quoted as hay
ing declared that, if within few days
the Democrats of the senate do not
withdraw their objections to the con-
firmation of Judge Jackson, nominated
to fill the vacancy on the supreme
bench caused by the death of Mr.. JUS
tice Lamar, the name would be
Withdrawn and that of Senator Dolph,
OF Oregon, would be sent to the senate
for confirmation. 1t is to be regretted
that the thought came to the president
so late. Senator Dolph is lawyer in
every way qualified for that high posi-
ton and besides has had his experience
in a part of the country which has
never been represented in the supreme
court. Ordinarily this might not be a
matter Of serious consequence, but in
the present instance is well worthy Of
consideration. A large amount of bust.
ness goes from the Northwestern states
to the supreme court, much of it arising
under laws which were framed and
invented " to encourage emigra-
ton to the country and to facilitate its
settlement There Is certain business
phase in the light of which all laws
can be best interpreted and most Justly
construed, aud it is hardly practicable
for any judge, however good a LAWYER he
may be, to so correctly determine
the various questions arising under
laws peculiar to a given section of the
country, as the lawyer whose profess
sionai life and business experience have
been passed under these laws. The
entire Pacific coast has had but one
judge on the supreme bench, and it
would be graceful recognition of the
situation of our affairs, as well as a Just
tribute to the merits of a worthy man
If the president would nominate SEN
ator Dolph, of Oregon, instead of Judge
jackson, of Georgia, to the position of
justice Of the supreme court.

The Scientific American quotes Pc
culiar phenomenon from the Morning

an interesting question thus far I'M
answered even by the scientific journal
making the quotation. The article de-
scribes a heavy rain and hail storm
which took place at Gray Hill, Texas,
DEFENDERS, This remarkable hail fell
in large Jumps, ranging from three to
six inches in diameter. There was one
piece eight inches in diameter, which
weighed four pounds. They were, as
rule, spherical in form, but some were
somewhat fiat, and nearly all were COW
cred with oval knobs. They fell In
small areas, about two feet apart,
while in other places only one would
fall In space twenty feet square. The
average was about one haiistone to
every three feet square. A most re-
markable fact in connection with these
large hailstones is that some of them
have particles Of dirt in the center.
The question is, how did they get
there?

will have made themselves so 0bnOx-
ious that the change will be made. The
reasons which first induced the adop-
ton of the present plan were perhaps
good at the time of the formation of
the constitution, at least the plan was
adopted as polite one, and as COM
promise of the different views of men
concerning the organization of a branch
of the government in which none had
had the benefit of experience. The
abuses which have arisen in modern
times have led many to the conclusion
that it would be wiser and safer to
amend the constitution in this respect.
The greatest evils of the present sys-
tenn are not those which are the most
manifest. The people see plainly
enough the delays to legislative work;
the all powerful influence of the lobby;
the manner in which all other ques-
tons are subordinated to the senatorial
question and often the corrupt prac.
tees OF Inscriptions candidates.
What they do not see so clearly is the
evil influence which is exerted by the
senatorial question in every depart !
ment of politics, and the manner in
which the selection of candidates for
every position is more or less affected !
by this one important question. How
many men are nominated for legisla-
tive positions every senatorial year
who have no qualifications for the Of
flee excepting their known position
with reference to the election of some
particular man TO the senate. The
legislature is organized with this ques-
ion in view. The standing commit
ees are arranged to favor the strong
nan, and much Of the legislative work
s colored by the influence of the one
question which is made to dominate
else.
If the proposed amendment should
'ass the senate it will require the as
ent OF the Legislatures of two-thirds of
he states to incorporate it into the
constitution, so that it becomes an inn
'ortant question to know what action
he states will take in the matter.
In view of the situation 1t would not |
De improper for the legislatures now in
session TO pass resolutions upon the
subject, and thus not only signify their
to ratify such an amend
nent but also aid with their influence |
m procuring its passage by the senate.
