thing" said Mr.. Mehesy, when he was
awakened out of his comfortable sleep
last night You might call the express
offices and find out if there has been any
consignment for ne from Spanish Fork
including the moose head. l don't really
think that man could. under ordinary
circumstances, inflict fatal wound on a
moose with one discharge of shotgun.
But you'd better wait and see. Maybe
something will happen tomorrow.
The Pacific Express company said there
was no moose head with them from Span
ish Fork or elsewhere. The Wells-Fargo
people said they had no consignments
from Spanish Fork at all.
So. if the moose head is in town IL very
likely came by some other means Of trans
portation.
John Sharp who was for years game
warden of the state, and who is said 10
know as mich about nature and as little
about nature taking as any man aside
from John Burroughs. gave IL as his
opinion that the animal was probably a
jackasS. There was or were no moose or
moosis in Utah as long as Uncle" John
Sharp could recall.
A Bare Possibility.
A man with a serious bent to his mind
figured it out that it was entirely possible
for a moose to make his way from the
Yellowstone PARK along the range Of
mountains to the east of Salt Lake, and
thus find himself one day a newcomer in
the rich pastures of the Spanish Fork
section.
AUother question now arises: If Mr..
Williams killed the moose IS he not vio-
lating the game law and consequently
subject to the penalty provided by the
legislators when they framed the statute.
The law says that fine of 500 is upon
any person who kills game animals.
Being on the subject of moosis, II may
be well to say that a moose is an alcis
macklis. He is a large animal of the deer
family, with short compact body. COW
cred with a short thick name. He was
a wee bit of tail, only four or five
inches long, and not even useful for fly
brushing purposes. He is said by the men
who make the natural histories 10 fire.
quent the marshy and forest districts, and
they give him credit for great speed in
running. HE is found from Maine to
British Columbia" says one authority.
Why Is Moose?
Last. but by far the most perplexing
problem of all, is the inquiry: How did
the moose get to Spanish Fork? Was he
circus moose that escaped But there
hasn't been any circus. Did he follow a
returning party down through Montana
or Idaho-One of the rare returning fami-
lies who came back by wagon? If so.
why wasn't he seen and mention made
of him by the alert ones along this thous-
andmile route? The Spanish Forkers say
they are absolutely at sea for a theory
concerning the presence of the moose
They are quite sure they would have
heard of the moose had he been within a
radius of ever so many miles within a
reasonable time before his appearance in
the Williams field.
Therefore, why is a moose?
Yo no Sc. Senior.

flee holders is likewise enormous. The Re-
publicans attempt to excuse their unpar-

a sufficient answer. The appropriations

A HIGH GRADE FARM PAPER FOR
WISCONSIN FARMERS.

With splendid special edition issued
numbers of surprising interest and
beauty, The Wisconsin Farmer, bub-
lished at Madison. Wis, and long one
of the standard farm papers of this
state and the northwest, entered upon
a series of Improvements which will
quickly give it place among the half
dozen greatest and best agricultural
weeklies in the United States.
1t is now printed on book paper of a
high grade, on a press purchased ex-
pressly for it's production, and in a
manner giving it rank with the hand
soonest farm journals in existence. Its
illustrations are elegant fne-screen
graphs or artistic drawings; the letter
press is as excellent as modern methods
can make it and the contributors in
clude many of the best agricultural
writers in Wisconsin and the north
west. The managing editor, Andrew
w. Hopkins, is a leader among the
Younger generation of Wisconsin agri-
culturists. and man of unusual abili-
ty.
The special issue Of Sept Sd was un-
questionably the most beautiful num-
Der OF a Wisconsin farm paper ever
published The cover would have done
credit to Golfers or The Saturday
Evening Post; there were special arti-
cles by A. j. Meyer on The Agricul-
tural Fair, by John Nj. True on .The
Growth of the State Fair, by Charles
L. Hill on ssWisconsins Live Stock In
dustry,' and by other prominent writ
ers; and the paper as "a whole was
perfect gem. The subsequent issues
have been admirable in every respect.
Agriculture, dairying, horticulture
and the various industries of the farm
are making rapid progressive strides in
Wisconsin, and The Wisconsin Farmer
has departments for every branch OF
farm work a. well as for the house
hold and poultry yard and fine Sun
dav school corner With such journ
al to promote it's interests, Wisconsin
agriculture will unquestionably con-
tinue to win new laurels for itself and
those who pursue it as vocation.
