 The immigrants who reached Salt Lake Valley on July 24. 1S41. nrm- bered 143 They arrived on ,nc nili overlooking the valley which was to lof the 24th. On the morning of the 18th, Brigham Young. who was in charge of the colony drove out over the land for reconnoiter. Alight 'nS from his buggy, he struck his cane into the ground and said Here we will build temple to the Lord. Later on during the same day the Stars and Stripes were floated at the top of Mount Ensign and the territory was claimed in the name of the United
 States. It was at that time under Spanish rule.
 The temple was not commenced until 1853 and Was forty years in building but it stands today as a monument of the persistence of the Utah pioneers, for nearly as many ob- stacles were encountered as in making the memorable trip of 1900 miles across the plains in oXcarts, some of them being pulled by human beings.

BANKS ATTACK
 EXPRESS ORDERS

Duluth, Mnn., July 24.-An attack on the money order business transact ed by the express companies of the country was made in a paper read be- fore the convention of the Minnesota Bankers Association, in session here today The matter will be brought be- fore the American Bankers Associa- tion at its annual convention this fall
 II is alle-ed that as the express companies are common carriers and nothing else, they have no right to do a banking business unless they sub- init to the same regulations which govern the banks themselves in their transactions. The banks demand that these companies submit to examina- ton by Federal and State banking de- partments. They say that the ex- press money orders which the con- panies issue and expect the banks to cash, oftentimes when the local con- panies have not sufficient funds with which to meet these orders, have al- ways caused the bankers great an- noyance and inconvenience. The effort of the Bankers Association is d. rected toward forcing the express companies to give up this feature of their business, or, if they carry it on, to make them submit to the regulac examinations.
 This afternoon the bankers enjoyed a trip on Lake Superior. On Sunday. Following the adjournment of the con- vention, the fnanciers will leave on the steamer America for an excursion

ATHLETICS NECESSARY
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Colonel Charles w. Larned of the
faculty OF West Point Military acad-
emy. in the current North Ameri-
can Review draws a sharply contract
ing picture OF public schools and
military schools, and makes the
statement that the former will be in
efficient as long as so little atten-
tion is paid to the development OF
body and character of the average
child.
Colonel Larned has fortified
himself with figures. tending to prove
the general superiority of the mill
tary schools over the public school.
and contends that It is useless to try
to put anemic children through a
ten years course of mental training,
generally in cramped attitudes and
I'm poorly ventilated rooms, without
compensating them with systematic
exercise. The remarkable Success Of
students in military school In main
tanning a high average in all studies

Systematic bodily exercise, which

the moral fiber.
