MRS. McGILL VISITS
MONITOR RANCH
The Old Homestead Isn't the Same
Now That SmeIter Operations
Are Well Under Way

Mr.. and Mrs. w. n. McGill spent the
day yesterday at the Monitor ranch,
which they occupied as d summer home
until it was sold for use as a smelter
site. The house will be occupied here
after by officials of the Steptoe Mining
and Smelling Company.
While Mr.. and Mrs. NcGilI retain
memories of many happy days spent at
the ranch they have relinquished claim
to the property very gracefully.
at isn't like the ranch any more,
Mrs. McGill said after packing up some
of her belongings; there are too many
buildings going up.
And this was quite evident as one
scanned th3 hillside where machine
shops. warehouses, Offices, company
dwellings, and railroad sidings are spring
ing up like mushrooms. Hundreds of
men are at work on a plant that will
cost nearly $40, 600, 900, with extensions
reaching out two miles on either side
of the old McGill ranch house.
Harry Randall who has managed the
property for Mr. McGill, is preparing
to move with his family to the old home
of Senator Gallagher at the entrance
to Duck Greek valley. He will trans
fer this ranch into a vegetable farm,
with view of supplying the increas-
ing needs of Ely and the people at the
smelter.

"ROOk of Mormon

The Book of Mormon" has been
proved to be literary plagiarism, be-
ing a free paraphrase of romance
written by the Rev. Solomon Spalding
in 1916, the manuscript Of which came
into the possession of Joseph Smith,
and he, sitting behind curtain, die
tated it to Oliver Cowdery, who, seat
ed out of sight of the reader, wrote
the matter as it was given him. Smith
pretended that the book was discov-
cred to him by revelation and dug up
from the side Of a hill not far from
Palmyra. in the county Of Ontario, n
Y. The claim was made by Smith that
the writing on the plates was engraved
in reformed Egyptian" which he was
unable to read until magic spectacles.
which he called his Urim and Thum-
min, were given to him. enabling him
both to read and translate into Eng
lish. The spectacles and the metal
plates have disappeared. and the story
of the dictation makes tOlerably clear
the manner in which the Book of
Mormon had it's origin.

1t Pays to BE Cheerful.

The spirit of cheerfulness is some
times the result Of happy tempera-
ment whose nerves have never been
disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity.
Sometimes it is the abundance of youth
still finding surplus of vigor after the
tolls Of the day. Sometimes it is the
expression of character which from
the reserves Of its own nature and ex-
perience is able to preserve a cheerful
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances and face life
always with hope and good cheer.
Such character is a strength and a
defense not only to him who has it.
but to all his associates and to all who
feel his influence. They are the watch
towers of humanity, whose lights
shine through the dark night of human
struggle and whose word is an inspira-
ton of hope and encouragement.

Parrot Pie.

Parrot pie is one of the delicacies
over which visitors to Australia rave.
AS the fruit season opens the parrots

Iocusts, and, settling on the trees, feed
upon the fruit until nothing but the
stones is left behind. They are shot
while gorging themselves. The flesh,
though very dark, is said to be deli
cious in flavor and almost to taste Of
which the birds have fed. They are
said to be more succulent than pigeons
and altogether superior to the palate.
