LAKE HISTORY.
Most of Eastern Utah Was at One Time
Under Water.

MOSJ OF Eastern tbnn was at One Time
Under Water.
Lake Bonneville occupied nearly all of
eastern Utah i'm the pleiocenc period. This
lake had four periods in its history. In
the first period of rainfall the lake grad
ually acquired an area of $4,000 square
miles-fllling the whole of the depression
of eastern Utah with water to the maxi
mum depth of 1000 feet, until an outlet
was found in the north in the Snake river
valley, ard through the Snake into the
Columbia, and thus to the Pacific. Then
the climate of the country changed and
evaporation exceeded rainfall, and the
lake steadily shrunk until it became dry
That was the second period. The third
was when the rainfall again increased I'M
til the lake assumed it's old extent and
even exceeded it, and then had it's outlet
again to the north. After this came an
other period of minimum rainfall, when
the lake again dried up, and salt Lake is
one of thSremnants of old Lake Bonnie
villo but only one-twentieth it's size. At
the left hand side of the Wasatch noun
tains the lines of the old lake shore can be
seen for many, many miles.
The Yellowstone lake is rock basin
Not very long ago from Il geological point

The old outlet led southwark across to
Ocean pass, down through comparative,
ly insignificant river, into the Pacific. Its
traces are still clearly visible whereas the
present outlet is north by way of the yell
lowstone river into the Missouri, and thus
into the Atlantic watershed. This is due
to u change in the movement of the earth s
crust, and the basin itself is partially due
to atmospheric disintegration.
Eagles Nest lake. in the Adirondacks, is
glacial lake, a rock basin lake. Such lakes
arc scattered through the Adirondacks
by the hundred. There are more of them
in that single region than in the whole
south, because the south is of comparative.
ly ancient topography, not having beer
glaciated.
Lake George is an ice basin-not nero
dam of marine material or anything of
that kind. 1t is yet more beautiful and
picturesque than Lake Champlain.
Schroon lake, in the noighborhood Of
the Adirondacks, is rock basin, due
partly to folding movements of the earth s
crust, partly to the gouging out of the
loose soil by the action of the great ice
sheet.
DEVILS lake, in Wisconsin, is q glacial
lake remarkable for it's circular form and
for the very curious character of the cliffs
that border it in many places. Exchange.

Home Life Among the Indians.

One would hardly suppose that there
could be particular rules as to the manner
of sitting upon the ground. But here as
in every other part of Indian life there is a
rigid observance of custom. Men may
properly sit upon their heels or cross leg
ged, but no woman may assume these at
titudes She must sit sdewise, gathering
her feet well under her, and make "a broad,
smooth lap. When working, she may
kneel or squat, and when resting she as
we'll as the men may sit with legs extend
ed, but at all other times men and wOm-
en- must observe the etiquette of posture
distinctive of sex. To rise without touch
ing the ground with the hand, springing
up lightly and easily to the feet, is bit of
good breeding very difficult to one not to
the manner born. Careful parents are
particular to train their children in these
niceties of behavior.
Among the Winnebages the little girls
are drilled in the proper way of standing
when under observation on dress occasions.
Their position of hands and feet is also
the proper one for the women in certain
religious dances While among the Sioux
a mother with a good sized family of boys
and girls propounded to me the question
whether white women did not find their
daughters more trouble than their sons.
She was sure she did. "Look ut those
girls" said she. 81 have their clothes to
make, their hair to braid, and to see that
they learn how tn behave. Now, my boys
are no trouble" AS glanced at the group
of children, the glossy braids of the girls
falling over their single smock, and the
boys, naked but for the breoch clout, their
miniature scalp lock ornamented with u
brass sleigh bell surrounding u snarl of
lfrouzy hair. l recognized the kinship of

that there were many absentees who were
not notified of the caucus.
One member sought TO establish that
the Democrats being majority of the
minority. were entitled to name the candi-
date. He said it had been agreed when
fusion was made that If the Populists
elected more members of the Legislature
than the Democrats, that Thomas v. Gator
was to receive the nomination. Now, that
the Democrats were in the ascendency. a
popular free-silyer and incorruptible
Democrat such as Judge Mcguire. should
be declared the choice of Democrats and
Populists alike.
A Populist member asserted that he was
bound to cast his vote for Thomas Y.
Gator.
Assem- blyman Treacy made vigorous
speech, in which he declared that Ma
guire represented in Congress both Dem
ocrats and Populists who were opposed to
the gold standard and in favor of the free
coinage of silver. He spoke OF Mcguire as
a man whom millions could not buy and
held it to be the duty of the minority to
stand by the Congressman.
"For myself" said Treacy. 81 am bound
to cast my vote for Mcguire"
When questioned closely as to whether
he would abide by the choice of the eau
Gus he replied that he was bound to vote
for Mcguire.
Senator Langford said that there was no
issue in his district when he was candi-
date before the people but gold and silver.
He said: "Cator came out as a candidate
for United States Senator too soon and
his coming out cost me many votes. In
this contest have favorite-a man who
poured out his wealth to make the cam
paign for the free coinage of silver. L
propose to cast my vote for Charley
Lane"
Senator Dwyer moved to take an in

formal ballot and adjourn until Monday
evening.
Senator Braunhart spoke highly of
Judge Mcguire as a statesman, but
thought he was lukewarm in his Braun
hart's) cause during the last campaign.
After prolonged discussion il was agreed
that the caucus to be known as the union
minority should adjourn to meet at 5
o'clock Monday afternoon. The pro-
gramme is for Democrats and Populists to
meet each in their own camp at that hour,
discuss the situation and then meet jointly
at clock the same evening to ballot for
choice. Eloquent speeches were made
to show the necessity for all men opposed
to the single gold standard, all the Bryan
Populists aud all the Bryan Democrats to
com bine and present solid front. A sim
gle reference was made in the caucus to
Perkins, as man who might be voted for
in an emergency. The suggestion evoked
q laugh of derisiOn.

lows that conference of fifty or forty or
thirty members would have the same
binding effect. either upon the party itself
or those who attended it.
Such conclusion leads to a further and
more ridiculous one, that an aspirant for
Senator or any other Office within the gift
of the Legislature could hold caucus
of twenty members and bind them to-day,
and another one of ten members and bind
them tomorrow, and the next day hold
third of five members and bind them,

conceit and shout in thunder tones to the

ayers that the pretended caucus of last
Monday evening was of any binding
effect either upon the Republican party
or those who attended it is regarded with
the utmost ridicule, even by many of
those who through courtesy did attend.
As one who was present aptly expressed
it: ~ have laughed so much in my
sleeve over so absurd claim that it is
worn thread bare at the elbow"

election at Sacramento an attempt was
made upon the part of candidate before

Dem ocrats and PcpulistS Meet to
Consider a Candidate for
Senator

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 7.-Demo-
Gratis and Populists met this evening in
the Supreme Courtroom to consider what
candidate the minority should support in
the contest for the United States Senator
ship. Assemblyman a. B. Sanford called
the conference to order. Assemblyman J.
L. Dryden of San Diego was cb osen chair
man and w. T. Hamilton. clerk of the
Democratic minority, acted as secretary.
Senator Braunnart made a suggestion
that the members organize as united
conference, representing all the members
opposed TO Republican prime ples He
stated that the call for a caucus emanated
from the Assembly. The Democrats IN
the Senate, he remarked, were present
voluntarily. The Senators attending were
Langford, Braunhart, Dwyer and Hall.
Among the Assemblymen were Caminetti,
Godfrey, Treacy, Dryden. KeaD Dles, Boone
and twenty others.
A motion to go into executive session
prevailed. When all who were not en-
titled to be present were excluded, sug-
geslion was made that a choice of the
minority for United States Senator should
be expressed. This suggestion precipi-
tated q hot debate. The point was raised
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1897-01-08

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 7-One of
the most peculiar doctrines advocated by
the managers of George G. Perkins at the
present session Of the Legislature is that
a political caucus is binding not only
upon those who may have attended it
but upon those who did not. There may
be, something funnier than this under the
skies, but if so the late lam ented Bill Nye
departed this earthly sphere ere his facile
pen discovered it.
That there is any such thing according
to any political custom pertaining to such
matters as binding caucus which a ma
iority of the mem bers of the Legislature
did not attend was hitherto unknown to
legislators and the general public as well.
But Mr.. Perkins managers have discov-
cred this X-ray OF political affairs, and
while contributing to their own felicity
resulting from the knowledge OF a posses
sion of superior insight, have added to the
political history of California a Joke that
viii be perennial.
When it is claimed by Mr.. Perkins
managers that an alleged caucus COM
posed of fifty-nine members OF the Legis-
lature can bind the Repu blican party to
their choice for Senator or even those
who attended the farc:cal proceeding to
the result of its vote, then it logically fol-

have not been able to hold their own
which they claim is all they need. Sew
eral have followed the example of Judge
Waymire, and have repudlated the meth
ods which have elected the condemnation
of all honorable and fair-minded men.
The names of those who have come into
the ranks of the opposition since the al.
legged caucus was held are kept secret for
the present for reasons which are obvious.
There will be more additions to the roll
to- morrow.
There may be landslide before Tues
day.
Judge Daily of the Code Commission, a
lawyer whose opinion carries great weight
with it among the member of the pro-
fession on the Pacific Coast, said to CALL
reporter last night that a caucus must
have the mum bers or the power to accom-
plish the object of the desire of its ma ior-
ity, else it ceases to be a caucus and must
be considered only as a conference. He
wished to state at the outset of the inter-
view that he did not care to give an
opinion as to the recent meeting of fifty
eight or fifty-nine Republicans the other
night, but he would speak in general
terms, without reference to happenings
here in Sacramento. There is no law reg
ulating legislative caucuses. The general
practice and precedent of the past are the
guides.
A caucus is an agreement among GER
tain number of men sufficient to accom-
plish certain purpose. 1t is in one sense
a contract, but if the party contracting is
without power to do the thing contracted
it ceases 10 be a contract or caucus and
becomes merely conference. caucus
is something from which results should
flow. A certain number of men having
adverse interests may meet for the pur-
pose OF accomplishing some object each
with the hope that he will succeed in har-
monizing the other interests for the bene-
fit OF his own, and prepared to yield in
the interest OF the common cause.

headquarters of Samuel NJ. Shortridge at
the Golden Eagle Hotel were the scene of
unusual activity tonight. One would
have thought that some grand reception
was in progress. for during the whole of
the afternoon and evening the stairs were
kept hot with the busy tread Of visitors.
1t was the rising of The tide that would
safely float the Shortridge ship, while at
the same time the battered hull of the
Perkins boom was being dashed higher
and higher upon the Scylla of blasted
hopes.
There was rejoicing in the ranks of the
Shortrldge forces, for they had been aug
mented by the addition OF several who
had signed the call for the so-called eau
Gus and who realized that il this State was
to be upheld in the Senate of the Nation it
must be done by a man of more force,
more eloquence, more energy and more
earnestness and self-sacrifice than have
been recently exhibited on behalf OF Cali
under the impression that they had COM
mitted themselves by signing the roll and
attending the conference at the suggestion
of Milt Green and the oily w. B. Hamil-
ton. They did so because they had been
informed that there had signed and would
be present sufficient number OF legisla-
tors to do business.
When they found that they had been
deceived, they still felt that they had un-
Willingly and unknowinglv been herded
into the Perkins corral by false and
fraudulent representations, and that they
were bouno in honor, despite that fact, to
abide by the decision of those who did
attend, plus the proxy Of Assem- blyman
Sims, who at that time was lying on bed
of pain in the Sutter Club.
But the action of Judge Waymire and
his friends in repudiatins the action of
the conference, the opinion of gen tlemen
learned in the law and of high repute in
the profession, convinced the deceived
ones that they were not bound in con-
science by the decision of a political
fiasco; that it were folly to follow the
rainbow illusion of bursting bubble, and
they went away from the side of leader
who at bis best hat never Inspired them
either with admiration or enthusiasm.
And here must be noted fact none the
less signifiant because we'll known. There
never was any enthusiasm or admiration
for Senator Perkins. Although his agents
claimed sixty-one out Of the seventy-iour
Republicans III the Legislature, these
sixty-one have never sent forth even
solitary cheer for him. No one has spoken
with any warmth of him. No one has
praised him, no one has admired him. No
one has stood upon the curbstone and told
what good things he has done for Califor-
mia. Ii even drunken man should stand
