To the study of ideas through books

Waste places must be made to blossom,
agriculture be developed, railroads be
surveyed, bridges and aqueducts be con-
structed, manufactures be built up, COM

farmers rejoice. Prospects were very
discouraging all the winter and spring.
From week to week the drought contin-
ued and farmers and stockmen began to
think II was a serious outlook, but the

aspect OF things entirely. Most all of the
fruit seems to be killed and our Dixie
neighbors report heavy losses from the
frost.

UTAH COUNTY TEACHERS.
Series of Institutes Concluded With
Social Gathering.
Especial Correspondence


Provo, May 6.-Today the last of series
of institutes given by the Utah County
Teachers association was held in the
Brigham Young academy. The meeting
was largely attended nearly the entire
corps of teachers of the county being
present. These institutes have been held
bi-monthly, and at times semi-monthly,
study was laid out TO cover the year;
Professor f. S. Hinckley gave course of
lectures on geology; Professor W. M
Wolfe on botany, and different teachers
on various subjects of pedagogy, while
leading state educators were called upon
at times to address the teachers.
Today'S programme was one or the best
of the year. After Professor Hinckley
spoke on geology. in the morning, DR.. G.
II. Brimhall delivered an eloquent lecture
on Character, as Influenced by Internal
and External Forces" He treated his
subject under the four subdivisions, men
tai, moral. physical and spiritual.
In the afternoon Professor Wolfe gave
his last talk on botany. DR.. James Z.
Talmage then lectured on the Formation
and Location of Minerals"
Finally. as fitting climax to the many
times the county teachers have assembled
together this year, a reception was held
this evening in the Parker school. The
affair was a brilliant one. and large
company of teachers were present, though
there were not so many as had attended
the institute. ClasSrooms were turned
for those who would indulge in the merry
hop while others were furnished and
tastefully decorated. to accommodate
those who enjoyed the more prosaic plea
sures. Lunch was served
DR.. Talmage lectured this evening be-
fore the students of the Brigham Young
academy, on the subject of Success and
Failure"

reach satisfactory adjudication of the
dispute which has arisen between them
and settlers on the head-waters of the
