vernal, Utah, June 11.-Eyer since
the breaking out of hostilities between
this nation and Spain the fires of pa
triotism have burned fiercely in the
breast of that sturdy old warrior I'm
Gle Billy Gibson. Uintah county's rep
resentative to the state legislature.
The SHOWS of too many winters have
passed over his head to admit of his
passing MUSTER or ere this he would
have been hurting defiance at the
naughty SONS of Spain from behind the
regulation army musket, were he al
lowed to go to the rescue of the
oppressed and down-trodden people of
the beautiful Gem of the Antilles,
without delay.
The old spirit still lives within him
that actuated him in the old days,
when he forced the, maurauding red
man to flee as one flying from the
wrath to come, and forced the wild
grizzly to crawl in his hole and pull
the hole in after him, just as the Span
ish admiral has done at Santiago bay.
The old warhorse has chafed under
the force OF circumstances which bars
him from participating in the eradica-
ton of old world oppression from the
American continent, and a burst of
patriotism of some sort was as neces-
sary to his peace of mind as the flag
that floats over this land of the free.
And it came, and in a way peculiar to
himself, for Uncle Billy is nothing
if not original.

into white foam against the huge boul-

green valley below at a point where
the Dry Fork pours in its irregular

mountain, which reaches to a height
of 600 feet above the level of the can

long ago, Uncle Billy was riding,
when the thought flashed over him:
What a glorious idea it would be to

away I'D. where no human hand had
ever touched" In his characteristic
way, he Immediately set out to accom-
plish this, and repaired to the Vernal
painter, Mr.. Leo Voight, and laid the
proposition before him, asking for
terms. Thinking it all a joke, the
painter agreed to do the work for SO,
but when So was Immediately handed
over, to bind the bargain, he was at
once disillusioned.
A quantity of stout rope, with pulleys
and other tackle necessary for making
the perilouS ascent, were secured, and
On Monday the first attempt was made.
The rope was let down from the top
of the cliff by means of pulleys fastened
to cedars, which grow to the very edge
of the cliff.
The intrepid painter, with many mis-
givings, was lashed to a board, with
bis paint and brushes at his side. When
all was ready, the. signal was given,
and several men who were stationed
on top of the ledge, began
hosting the painter from a point on
the ledge some 60 feet from the
base of the cliff. When something

.CURIOSITIES OF CARTOGRAPHY.
Some Quaint Old Maps of America When II Was Spanish
Territory.

When the sun went down on the
plains of Tolosa one summer day sS6
years ago the 10Th of the coming month
month of July, Spain, or what then
passed for Spain, had won so tremend-
Gus a victory over the Moors it would
seem she must have started on career
of usefulness to the world and credit to
herself. But, apparently, Spain was
not bcilt on a, progressive plan, and as
the centuries came and went she again
AND again demonstrated her inability
to control either herself or the world.
When the 10Th century came she was
in a fair way to redeem herself-at
least from the standpoint of progress
in enapire-for she was rapidly advanc-
ing to the leading place among the ma
tions of the old world. When, in 1873,
Charles became sovereign, Spain was
apparently going to fulfill the destiny
of her prophets, for he was lord of
many realms-the Kingdoms of Spain,
Naples, Sicily and Sardinia were under
him; he was emperor of Germany as
Charles V; he had his hereditary pat
Iimony in Austria; and Mexico and
Peru were added to his domain. AS

lumbus had sailed and set down the
most misleading metes and bounds OF
the new world which Spain had been
instrumental in discovering.
Along in 1857 one Abraham Ortelius
of Antwerp, a Dutch map-maker, put
forth his maps, in a. queer old SKIN
bound volume, and something OF the
crudity of the ideas of Europe about
the possessions of Spain in America
are indicated in his production Inc
man was made some years before 1881,
according to one authority. The repro
duetion accompanying this article, was
made by camera from the original vol
ume. now in the possession OF the Mill
nesota State Historical society. Amer
ica. as a Spanish discovered contlnent,
il should be remembered, was now
nearly a. century old, so that one would
think at least a fairly good idea OF the
country would be disclosed in a map
made by a man of adeptness in cartog-
raphy.
The world, by this map, was in the
shape OF a gigantic pumpkin, the polar
regions being vast reaches OF hatness'
while America, the domain OF Spain,
save where it had been occupied coast
wise by other enterprising parties, was
of enormous extent, reaching apparent
ly half way around the globe. From
its farthermost eastern point to the
western extremity was just half the
distance across this wonderful map.

the distance from the east to the west.
Such unimportant things as the syS-
tenn of great lakes and the Mississippi
river were not considered worthy of
mention on such a map of America,
though there was one gigantic river
rising somewhere in the region of Chi
cage and flowing to the Atlantic via
the st. Lawrence.

fancy, the enthusiastic loyalty. the fer
vid faith of the richly endowed Span
lard were not counterbalanced by hum
bier but more practical virtues-love of
industry, of agriculture, of manufac-
lures
Soon after the close of this century
another map appeared, among the
many that had been drawn through
the centuries, and of which these are
but types. 1t was made in the year
100, and its French printing and en-
craving are delicate and fine. The map,
of which a reproduction is also given
with this article, is one of many in a
volume issued under Philip V. The
plates of portion, at least, are of cop
per, and very interesting as evidences
of the photographers art. This map
indicates the possessions of Spain in
the new world at time comparatively
near our own, less than 200 years ago.
1t would seem past belief that any
nation having such enormous and such
fabulouSly rich possessions on this con-
tinent. even after all her past mistakes,
could so soon lose them. The map in
dicates how large were the possessions
in North America and how vast. the
Spanish domain in South America,
practically including all of the latter
except strip in the center, where now
lies Brazil. Curiously enough, even as
late as this map was made, California
was believed by many, as indicated on
the map, to be an island.
Little by little these vast posses
siOns melted away, until today bank

sions. its people on the verge of an
archy, is fighting for the last fragments
of a mighty empire.
The photographer who makes a map
of Spain at the close of this century
will not need as much paper as did
good old Dutch Ortelius of Antwerp,
or the skilful draughtsman of Philip V,
or as would have been needed before
the dawning Of April q, 1898, but the
paper will be large enough to suit the
spirit of the nobler civilization of the
18th century, however small it might
have seemed in the crafty, cruel days
of mediaevalism. w. S. HARDWOOD.

HOW BOSTON WAS SAVED.
All Women and Children Were Or
dered Removed.

There had been sounds all day, dull,
deep, booming sounds from various di-
rections True. there were sounds on
previous occasions, but none quite SO
emphatic. And now Boston realized
that the worst was at hand.
The DonnO 1pecachuana and the Don
lingo Y SarSapareelah were anchored
off the harbor, and at any moment the
bombardment might commence. Every
where people could be met hurrying to-
ward the interior of the state, loaded
down with family trees and Puritan
bibles, and all the minor household
gods. The gilded Goldfish cleaned duly
on the state house. The grass on the
common turned an ashen brown.
At $3.50 nte-meridian, the Donna Ipe-
-cachuana yawned heavily and dropping
into position, fired a 'steen-inch shell
from her bow gun. The projectile en-
tered the city at the fish wharf, and
chasing itself up the narrow street that
suggested convenient opening, speed
lily found itself in difficulties. In fol-
lowing the tortuous course it curved
here and there, and left and right, and
in zigzags and obliques, until 1t reach

The shell was simply warning. 1t

one more condition. Twenty Boston
maidens, the flower of the Hub, were to

ships as hostages, to be held in tesu-
mony of Boston'S good faith.
AT 10 o'clock the maidens left the
wharf IL two barges, ten to a barge.
The suns rays touched with fire their
cleaning spectacles, and yellowed the
texture of their reconcentrado necks.
Their ages aggregated i39 years.
They did not weep. There was look
of high resolve upon their chiseled fea-
lures. A moment later they were speed
ing away over the ripping waves.
A chill breeze swept the decks as the
two installments boarded the respective
warships. Each captain involuntarily
looked at the barometer. Then he
looked at the ten maidens. After this
he cheerfully looked back at the ba-
rometer.
The fair hostages, statuesquely cold,
sat in a row of chairs on the after
deck. They were not disturbed. The
Spanish officers, who strolled by with
smiling eyes and cleaning teeth, didn't

chattering jaws-patrolled the deck,
