finally, it disappeared from the sight of
it's sorrowing friends.
When the storm was over they set
forth to find it. The wind had soon
spent its fury, and there was no doubt
that the calf would be discovered on
neighboring farm or in a neighboring
village. But the animal was not to be
found. Mr.. McMeekin sought informa-
ton concerning it. None was to be had.
The neighborhoodg grew interested. The
farmers organized to search for the calf
by day and to theorize in regard to its
probable whereabouts by night AS
the searching parties have so far ex-
plored the ueighborhood without dis
covering any trace of the jocund young
beast, the favorite theory is now that

The Driest spot In Europe

Salamanca, Spain, is proved to be the
driest spot in Europe. The rainfall is
less than 20 inches. There are limited
areas in the southeast coast of Sweden,
where the rainfall is very small. The
rainiest places in western Europe are
the southern slopes of the Alps and
Upper Austria and the lake district Of
Cumberland, England.

South Elkhorn, KY, is given over to
searching parties and to theories just
at present. The other day there was a
storm in which violent wind played a
prominent part. On the farm of Mr..
McMeelSin a calf was playing about in
the happy manner peculiar to calves.
The wind suddenly became playful
itself and caught the calf up, bearing it
aloft and away as though it were a
kite. DINNER and DINNER in the

1t has been ascertained by the Her
aid from competent authority that
one of the frst.moves of the reorgan-
lied Short Line management after in
corporation, will be the construction
of an extension from Ironton into the
Deep Creek country, over a projected
route of about 100 miles. The distance
in an air line between Clifton, the
probable terminal in the Deep Creek
region, to lronton is just 90 miles, al
lowing ten miles of additional grading
for necessary curves and other depart
ures from a tangent This amount of
extra trackage is considered adequate
for such Specifications as the foregoing.
A glance at a map which shows the
operation of the Short Line s. stem
throughout Utah alone will give one
a comprehensive idea of the import
ance of the proposed extension. It is
nothing more than a very logical piece
of railroad generalship for-the reason
that 1t is within the province of the
Short Line to make the first railwN3
approach III the Dccp OFeek QlfCCuOn
instead of permitting some independ-
ent line to get into that wealthy min
era region first. Every railroad man
who has the future of the state IN
mind knows quite we'll that it must be
only a question of time before Deep
Creek is put into communication with
the market. The traffic of such a rich
section means an enormous revenue for
a road in the condition OF the Short
Line, as it will emerge freed from Union
Pacific Indebtedness. The new manage
ment has given every indication that it
will be aggressive in its business COM
plexion and not hesitate to keep grasp
ppm the important inter-mountain ter
ritory which it virtually dominates, so
that in respect to the imperative need of
speedy connection with the western
mineral fields of this state, the Short
Line will be found wide awake.
The detail of the most feasible route
from Ironton to Clifton will be included
within the Incorporation of the new
;ompany.-Salt Lake Herald.

Athens, Feb. r6.-The first definite
news of Greek victory In Crete was
received this evening and the widest
enthusiasm followed the intelligence.
The Greeks, it is said, attacked and
captured Fort Aghai, taking 400 Mus
slemans prisoners Among the number
are 100 Turkish troops, the remainder
of the prisoners being Moslems, who
took refuge in the fort
Details of the engagement are lack
ing. One report states that no fighting
occurred, the garrison surrendering up
on the demand ofthc Greek commander.
AS no mention of any losses is made in
any of the dispatches, 1t is surmlsed that
this report is true.
Notwithstanding the reports that the
powers would take concerted action to
prevent Greece from taking further hos-
tile action In Crete, war-like prepare
lions are being made with all possible
dispatch.
In addition to the corps of occupa-
ton" already on the island, which num-
bers 1900 men of all arms, one other
regiment embarked upon a transport
and sailed for Crete tonight Another
regiment will sail thence tomorrow.
The government Is preparing for
every possible contingency and has
summoned two classes of the naval re-

tion be settled now for all time 1t is

Nutrition in Western Grasses.

Experience and careful experiments

stock ranges west Of the Missouri
river alkali and buffalo grass

grasses there are two varieties. The
frst aud best is upland, which grows
upon the prairies aud hills; the other
variety grows on the bettemlandl along
