forest-covered hills-loons always nest
on small islands in lakes, never where
foxes can get at the eggs or young. The
birds at first are coal black. The one

took me 20 minutes to get it. When pur-
sued the little fellows make for the open

weeds and rely entirely upon their won

catch them when they are very young

can see them the instant they come up.

was always near when it rose and by
shouting and Erandishing the paddle
frightened it into rediving before it had
regained its wind. At length 1t could
not dive more than a foot or two below
the surface and then | caught it in my
hand. 1t was savage and seasick in the
canoe. The mother kept neal it FROM

energetic subordinates. Mr.. Roberts
had many good workers in line and to
these the republican party owes much.
These were the spokes in the wheel
and the city chairman was the hub
about which these conferred. The

party is in any sense a state quantity
as yet, nor even that It's future in
Salt Lake city will be a triumphal
march to victory at each succeeding
election. 1t means that the managers
Of that party, the Tribune, Telegram

convincing the voters of Salt Lake
city that there are In the capital con-
ditions and questions that can be
solved only by representatives of the

elect the American candidates and
they did so. 1t is undoubtedly true
that many "Mormons" of unques-
toned faith voted the American
ticket, just as many Gentle demo-
Gratis and republicans stood royalty by
their tickets, and whether these will
stand with the Americans in the
future depends largely on how
thoroughly and successfully the new
government meets it's promises. The
American party comes in at an
suspicious time, just as this country

unprecedented tourist travel, and as

party has an advantage and its future
depends on how well it lives up to its

will cause the Americans some worry
