decided upon.
A committee of students tramped I'D
the bill! and on reaching the scene of
the boys labor decided that the sign rep
resented cross cannOns and the blotch a

las then came in for suspicion. The stu
dents IN the party at once began to ef-
face the symbol
While they were at work the lads who
did the work on the new letter on the
hlll returned to put the finishing touches
GA It, Seeing the crowd OF students at
work Oblterating the letter, the boys de
cided that their efforts at embeliishing
the natural beauty of the hill had not
been appreciated and wisely kept in the
background.
The next morning the bright young stu
dents who make their spending money
contributing stories to the morning news
papers had several inches of space in
each of the papers explaining the sien
on the hill and blaming jointly the fresh
men, the medical students and the sol
diers. The Warrum boys read the papers
yesterday and then told their parents the
origin of the sign.
They are not quite decided whether
they should grieve or laugh over the in
cident, for they have heard that Uni
versity students shave the heads of stu
dents and they are not sure that this
punishment might not be melted out to
little boys who violate the proud propri-
cites of the institution. If they have to
stay away from the hills it will be pur-
ishment indeed. for the boys find there
their chief pleasure

His wish is then for morning light
And home and friends once more.
The sun shines DER his lonely path,
The air he breathes is pure,
No cares perpleX the WooGman's mind,
Which great mems bliss obscure.
The highest mountains less do share
The calm of sunny days:
Oercapped with snow and misty fogs,
They seldom feel its rays.
And should death throw his deadly dart
'Twould give him no surprise;
He learned this lesson in the woods
To live the best is wise.
And should he come. he cares not when,
No terrors can him seize
He knows his works to kill off men
AS woodmen fell the trees.
So here We go, gee-up, gee-whoa,
And now and then who-haw,
The whips a goad to every rogue
Who off the line would draw.
All wise men should know how to drive
Nor cruelty e'er deem
The only way Ger rugged roads
To drive the stubborn team.
The gloomy, dark and cloudy air
Oft housewives minds bewray,
They'll out and in and anxious stare
In wonder why we stay.
At length the woodmans voice is heard
The children shout, hes come"
Thus joy does crown his festive board
Each night when he comes home.

Portland, Ore, May GA special to
the Telegram from Lewiston, Ida, says
that Edward H. Martin, under arrest
at Portland for the alleged murder of
Nathan Wolff, was suspected of the al
legged murder of his partner in Febru-

mining district, where his parents had
purchased an interest in a mining
claim.
The body of the partner was not
found, and Martin was released the fol-
lowing October. While confined in Jail
Martin endeavored to secure his liberty
by burning the Jail building. After his
release Martin came to Lewiston and
was afterward arrested in Moscow and
Wallace on charges of insanity, but
was discharged as his arrangement
was caused by the excessive use of
drugs. No trace of Martins partner in
the mining claim was ever secured.

THE WOODMANS SONG

Composed by John Lyon. the local Scot
fish poet, and sung by Phil Margetts in
Social hall in 1854. Tune, Petit Tam
bour'
Let soldiers sing of battle fields,
And sailors of the seas,
The miner OF his golden stores
The wealthy, power and ease
But will sing of canyon life,
OF rocks and valleys deep.
OF mountain trails and shaggy roads,
Along the winding steep.
Chorus.
Tho canyon life's with danger rife
The mountains we'll explore
The woodman's toll Is for his home
Ere winter shuts the door.
Before the sun o'ertops the hills
The teamster's on the road,
His oxen slow thro' dust do go
And creeks, to drag their load.
His merry song from morn to night
Is gee-whip and gee-whoa
Yet still his heart beats high with love
The farther he does go.
Chorus.
When heights are passed, the forest
gained,
And cattle out the yoke.
Then every energy is strained
To fell the towering oak.
And when the wood is snak' d and piled,
Clothes torn and limbs all sore,

Letter by B. H.. Roberts.
A letter written by B. H. Roberts to
Professor r. r. Lyman of the Univer-
sity of Utah will likely be used in the
debate on the anti-Smoot resolution.
The letter has been given some cirCu-
lation by the insurgent wing of the Re-
publican party. Some time ago Pro-
fessor Lyman discussed the matter of
Senator Shoots candidacy for a second
term in the senate with MIR. Roberts.
He was 50 struck with Mr.. Roberts
comments that he asked him to write
him a. letter embOdying his ideas on the
subject This Mr.. Roberts did. Some
of the Smoot followers, who have
learned of the existence of the letter,
affect to feel a virtuous indignation be-
cause Mr.. Roberts, a Democrat, should
write Mr.. Lyman, a Republican, re-
garding Mr.. Smoot and the senatorship.
Mr.. Roberts is a member of the seven
ties, and is recognized as one of the
ableSt men of the state, just as ne is
regarded as fearless and uncompromis-
ing in his integrity . The insurgents
believe his arguments to be good, and
they assert that Mr.. Roberts character
is too high and his reasoning too good
for any successful contravention to be
made of his conclusions regarding Mr..
Smoot and his usefulness in the senate.
The text of the letter follows:
Salt Lake City, Utah, March SO, 1908.
Mr.. Richard r. Lyman, University of
Utah. Salt Lake City: My Dear Friend
For various unavoidable reasons l have
rot been able TO fulfill my promise made
some time ago to outline what I regard
as the reasons why Reed Smoot should
not be returned to the senate of the
United States. I do so now. but very
briefly and in headlines merely:
Preliminary Considerations.
/. A public office is a public trust.
3 A public office primarily is not given
to honor men. but to afford them an OPP
portunity of serving the people.
3. The honor Of office is in exact pro-
portion to the ability with which the
service is rendered.
4. Any office, a multiplication of
them, bestowed upon an individual which
is beyond his capacity to fulfill is not
an honor but a burden.
5 The office of an apostle is the high
est position save one that can be held in
the church. and will tax to the utmost
limit the highest capacity of man TO dis
charge ii with fidelity and honor.
g. The office of senator is the high
est office within the gift of a state in the
American union, and the highest office
save one in the nation, and will tax the
highest order of intellect and character
to discharge its duties with fidelity and
honor.
