HISTORIC HOUSE
is TO Be RAzED
0TSOn Pratt'S Astronomical OBJ
SerVatOFy, Built in 1869,
Comes Down.

Work win soon be commenced on the
razing Of the old adobe building in
temple square, which served as an as
Economical observatory for Orson Pratt
a church writer and one of the greatest
mathematicians Of the early west. The
decision to rae this old landmark has
only been arrived at by the Mormon
church authorities after considerable
deliberatiOn.
The building has been d point of in
terest ever since 1869, the year in which
it was built. 1t was used 10 house the
astronomical instruments that were
loaned by the general government to
the Mormon church for the purpose of
making observations. Orson Pratt was
given charge and located the Salt Lake
meridian, from which point all surveys
i'm this state are computed.
The red sandstone block at the
southeast corner of the temple square
marks the exact point where the me-
ridian passes, with a north latitude Of
40 degrees 46 minutes seconds. and a
west longitude of III degrees So minutes
AZ seconds. The Instruments were also
used for scientific study and for deter
mining the correct time for Salt Lake
and surrounding cities.

FUTURE PLANS OF
SON OF HARTMAN
Young Man viii Take Up Rail
reading From the
Very Bottom.

New York, Sept 15-Waiter AveriU
Hartman. the eldest son of the dead
railway king, today, at Il years of age
finds himself confronted with the abso-
lutte necessity of preparing to master
the intriCaCies of railrOading i'm order
that a few years hence ne may step in
and seize the reins of management that
death took from the Well-trained hands
of his father.
Although the young man to whom
viii eventually fail the mana cement of
the billion dollar interests of his father
is well educated and knows something
of railTOadinug. he readily admits that
he is at present incapable of the man
agemeut of the gigantic system of roads
his father built up needs and that he
must learn the railroad business thor
oUghly before he attempts to direct
them.
Realizing. with characteristic keen
ness of perception, that his days Of
activity were drawing to a speedy
close and that it would be necessary
for his elder son to- prepare to shoulder
the burdens death would place in him,
Mr.. Hartman some months ago started
the boy off on career of railrOading,
sending him west first, to aid the sur
yeyOrs and later to enter the shops and
then to run d locomotive Mr.. HaTri-
man had planned to have his son work
in each branch until he reached the top.

CASE DISMISSED
BY STIPULATION
Settlement Effected in Suit to
Break the Will of Mrs.
Sarah EVerard.

IT, Judge George q. Armstrong's di-
vision Of the Third district court yes
terday the suit of AIonzo Davis
against President Joseph F. Smith and
others of the Mormon church to break
the viii of Mrs. Sarah Everard, was
dismissed by stipulation, d settlement
having been made by attorneys on
either side of the case. Mrs. Everard
died in London on April "a, 1906, leaving
an estate valued at 46761.87 in Salt
Lake, and $4,000 in London. After
debts had been paid and claims of the
heirs misunderstanding to the will
there was approximately $4,000 left.
which, by the WILL was beqUeathed as
follows:
And all my residue as an endow-
ment for the Salt Lake temple. to be
expended in such manner as Joseph r.
Smith determines
The filing Of the suit i'm the district
court followed close upon the heels Of
the dismissal of a similar suit I'm the
federal court, which was brought by
William Edwards. Alonzo Davis, who
filed the suit in the district court. which
was dismissed yesterday, is nephew
of Edwards and guardian OF Edward
Davis, one of the beneficiaries i'm the
will of Mrs EveraTd. II was directed
against President Joseph I. Smith
Henry H. Blood and Joseph w. McAIur-
rim, named by Mrs. Everard as execu-
tors of her will and Apostle Brigham
H. Roberts, G.. w. PenrOse. George A.
Smith, OrsOu +. Whitney and John H
Smith, George F. Gibbs and James
Jack.
1t was claimed that a bequest could
not be made to the temple" and on
these grounds they sought TO break the
viii. What settlement was made is not
known, but it is likely a part of the
$50. 900 was turned over to Alonzo Davis
TO end the suit.

He had hoped that his ocean to ocean
railroad route would be carried through
and improved by Walter. and his plans
for q great system circling the entire
nation put IN realization.
Walter Hartman has many Of the
characteristics of his father. He Is not
bOastfui, he is thoughtful, not talk
alive, and a good listener. He is re-
markably decisive, much as his father
was. He makes up his mind quickly
and acts accordingly. He does not revel
in the luxury that some might think h4s
fortune would lead him into. He thinks
no more Of riding in the ordinary pas
senger coach or smoker OF a railroad
than the hardened cOmmuter does.
Now that young Hartman is face to
face with the business affairs Of his
father, he cOntemplates plunging into
the science of railroading as soon as the
sorrow Of his bereavement loses its in

Remember the Fair.

| scarcely think it necessary to call
your attention to the benefits that Bos-
sier Parish has derived from our annual
fairs. Greater diversifcation of crops,
more interest in stock raising and a
laudable rivalry as to who can raise the
best and greatest variety of crops on the
smallest plot of ground has resulted.
In a financial way the fair has been
paying proposition. For three con-
SEDUCTIVE years Bossier has carried off
the blue ribbon and won the premium at
our State Fair, amounting in all to
$1,000, which has gone into circulation
among the people of Bossier parish. In
addition to this, over 500 has been paid
each year to individuals for their ex-
hibits in our display at the State Fair.
Last, but not least, Bossier has been adj
vertised as the banner agricultural
parish in North Louisiana, making
every Bossierite prouder of his parish.
We will doubtless have grearer COM
petition at the State Fair next Novem-
Der than ever before, as the other par
ishes are getting jealous of Bossier's
continued success.
Now, as the time is near at hand to
plant crop for the ensuing year, let us
go to work with a determination that
the Bossier Parish exhibit shall win the
blue ribbon again at the State Fair.
Our premium list, l presume, will be
about the same as it was last year.
The ladies have done nobly their part,
and have added much to the success OF
our fairs, and, of course, we will expect
much from them again at our next fair.
Also, the public schools will have a
special day and l hope they will have
much of their work on display.
The colored people will have special
day given them for anything they will
have to exhibit at the fair.
Very respectfully,
E. M. LAUGHLIN.

About Hawks.

During March, April and May, and
especially the first month, is the best
time to successfully hunt hawks. We
hope all who have the opportunity to do
so will kill as many of the hawks of the
species that are enemies to game birds,
barnyard fowls, etc., as they can. The
hawk locally known as the blue darter is
said to be the most destructive to quail.
To further acquaint our readers with the
hawk family we quote from "Upland
Game Birds" as follows:
"Two destroyers which have attained
an unenviable reputation are Cooper's
hawk and the sharp-shinned hawk.
These two are about the only hawks
which do serious damage. The proper
Justice for them weighs about an ounce
and ne-eight, and should be admins
tered at every opportunity.
"Protectors, however, should not fall
into error where some of the birds OF
prey are concerneds The marsh-hawk,
the long winged fellow with the white
patch on his rump, seen lacking over
marshes, does more good than harm, az
his favorite prey is the destructive short
tailed field-mouse. The red-tailed hawk
/ will pounce upou fowls, but seldom mo-
/ Tests game. He earns right to live BY
/ destroying certain mischief workers
The fine, red-shouldered nawk chief.
confines himself to a diet OF mice, snakes
and grasshoppers. The beautiful littl'
sparrow-h hawk, seen poised in air, o
/ peiched upon telegraph pole or a dea'
stub, feeds upon grasshoppers, cricket
L and other insects during warm weather
while in winter his regular diet is mice
H Needless to say, he should not be kille
Il for any purpose
