A MILLION ANCESTORS.

1t may be q little surprising and Of interest TO
learn that a person may have had more than a
million ancestors within comparatively recent
years and that without taking into uncles
and aunts. Starting with ones parents, each per-
son, of course. has two a father and mother.
The father had his two parents and the mother
had hers. Thus each person has four grandpar-
ents one step further and we have eight great
grandparents. A simple calcula on gives the as
fonishing result that lineal ancestors during
twenty generations number fewer than 104s. .576.

LETTER
MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL RE
FER TO lSCOURTESIES.
Are Of the Opinion That Petty ouIb
bling and Useless QuarreIs Are

To The Public:-On Feb. 10th Mr..
John S. Lewis, in a public letter ac-
cused the city council of lack of
courtesy in conducting business with
the board of park commissioners. The
council could, with equal Justice,
claim a lack OF courtesy on the part
of the board of park commissioners
toward the council. Waiving that
phase. however. we note that Mr.. Lew
is In his letter claims the discourtesy
10 be in the fact that the council did
not appoint special time and place
for meeting with the board of park
commissioners and that the council
did not read the report Of the board
He distorts the motion passed by the
council ut the time the report of the
board was submitted, asking the board
of park commissioners to meet the
council on ene of its regular meeting
nights, into something entirely diff
ferent and not intended bv the coun-
Gil No discourtesy was intended, but
II appears that Mr.. Lewis did not want
10 appear at public meeting. which
is just what the council did want.
and for several reasons. AS to not
reading the report, we admit that II
was not read In council, but It was
seen and read by several OF the coun-
Gil and fully discussed by all and no
purpose would have been served by
taking the time Of the council to have
the report read It was filed as is
usual In such cases OF long reports.
But is not all the above simply
qulbbling and seeking to censure and
lay the blame on the council. when
the real reason for the attack is that
Mr. Lewis is disappointed at the small
appropriation made for the park work
for the year. He claims that the
amount appropriated is only enough to
maintain the parks, allowing nothing
for Improvements. This is Just what
the council intends the appropriation
for and no more. There are now 70
street intersections where the resi-

dents have paid for sidewalks and

piled with crossings or other improve
ments. which they want and are en-
titled to have. 1t is not possible to
make the needed park improvements
and at the same time provide these
people with the crossings 1t Is their
right TO have, and which 1t Is the duty
of the city TO build. for the reason
that the money Is not to be had for
both purposes,
We do not wish to be understood
as decrying or opposing park improve
ments. IL is very necessary, and the
zeal and efforts Of the board of park
commissioners to that end are com.
mendable, but we believe tha: the
board members do not fully realize
the greater necessity for using the
money on the intersections mention-
ed as do the members OF the coun-
Gil
While we all want our parks to be

find themselves unable to cross the

will be more pleased with crosswalks
that they may go dry shod and free
from mud from one sidewalk to an
other. than they would be with furth-
er park improvements, when only one
is possible
II Mr.. Lewis really desires to be of
service To the citizens OF Ogden, in
stead of resigning from the board and
asking that the law be repealed, he
should recognize the wisdom OF the
small appropriation at this time and
continue in the good work OF admin

etc. as well as the maintenance of the
present improvements. which the ap-
preparation will amply cover, we'll
knowing that the council viii provide
the money for further park improve
ments as soon as 1t Is possible
II is our opinion that ii would have
been more In the line OF courtesy had
the board OF park commissioners per
sonally made the request for the ap-
preparation OF $4,000 instead of ask
ing a member OF the council to do
so. Further, we believe the law Gre
ating the board of park commission
ers good one and would be pleased,
indeed. IL the same could be continued
in goodwill and harmony: but II
there is to he so much OF petty quib
bling and useless Quarrels over mat
ters OF courtesy. we believe ii would
be better to repeal said law.

yields to be reported to this office
are from northwest of town. l.. M.
Boyce threshed 975 bushels of oats
from 80 acres, and Frank Jahnel Sc
cured $50 bushels of wheat from 4.
acres. These are not bad yields con-
sidering that the weather reports
from Pierre show that there has been
but n dryer season in the history
OF that bureau-that of 1894. If we
can have crops like that in a season
OF this kind, what would be the Weld
in a normal year? The weather bu-
reau at Pierre records 6.26 inches of
moisture from January / to August

oeen liz. If 35 bushels of oats
and 10 bushels of wheat can be rails
on comparatively new ground this
year, what are the agricultural pos
sibilities of this country when the
land is worked up in o p shape to
retain the moisture?
