Father De smet, a Belgian, who was
induced to come to America to take up
missionary work among the Indians, was
the next prominent figure in the Catho-
lie church in Utah. From 1910 until 1916
Father De Smet was engaged IN the eS-
Enlistment of missions in the Rocky
mountains and regarding this work, Crit
tenden, the historian, says:
But most important Of all, from a pub
lie point of view, was the fact that he
had become a great power among the
Indian tribes. All knew him, many per
sOnally and the rest by reputation. He
was the one white man in whom they
beginning to look to him for assistance.
The Mormon, the FOrty-niner, the oregon
immigrant, came to him for information
and advice. His writings were already
known on two continents and his name
was familiar one, at least in the re-
ligiOus world"
It is said in the biography Of Father
De Smet that he knew Brigham Young
intimately, and before the Mormon pio-
neers started their long and perilOus jour
Father De Smet had told them about the
wonderful country they would find In
this region
The next Catholic priest to enter Utah
was the Rev J. B. Raverdy, who rode
horseback from Denver and presented his
credentials to General p. Z. Conner at
Fort Douglas in May, 1854 He was the
first Catholic priest to enter the valley
of Salt Lake since Father De Smet passed
through Salt Lake on his way to Vel
lowstOne park in 1S41.
From Denver this jealous priest made
several excursions into Utah and Idaho
in quest of scattered members Of the
Catholic church. and carried on his mis-
sionary labors as best he could, showing
a true spirit Of comradeshlp with the
hardy miners and adventures Of the ter
ritOTies.
First Place of Worship.
The first move toward a Catholic place
Of worship in salt Lake was made by the
Rev. Edward Kelly. who came to Utah
in 1866 at the request Of Bishop O'Conneil
of Sacramento. Father Kelly gathered
together the few Catholics in Salt Lake
and took up a subscription for the pur-
thedral. It was discovered later that the
title was not perfect, and II was agreed
to leave the settlement OF the dispute to
Brigham Young After hearing the evil
dence and making q thorough investiga-
ton. the president Of the Mormon church
decided that the property belonged to the
Catholic church and the deed was hand

Biographical.
Lawrence Seaman was born in Tippe-
rary county, Ireland, 66 years ago, where
he grew to young manhood. According
to the traditions of the pious Irish fam
lilies. one son was picked out for the
priesthood and after finishing his clas-
steal studies he entered All HalloWs col
leEe at Dublin, q famous missionary semi
nary. This institution trains men for
missionary work along practical lines and
there remain today traditions in the
Dublin school that Laurence Seaman was
one of the greatest athletes who ever
graduated from the institution.
Studies completed and examinations
passed, he was ordained priest June
81 1865 and the next month he left his
home for California. His journey was to
New York and then by way Of Panama.
Arriving in California in November, 1865
he was appointed assistant priest at St
PatTicks. His work in that parish was
such that SO years sitter he left ii was
said that Father Seaman, now bishop Of
Salt Lake, was a most devOut and faith
full priest who Is still remembered with
affection by the veterans Of the cathe-
dral parish
Soon after his arrival at San Francisco
the call came from Phoebe. The rugged
mining camp, then in its boom days
needed a resident priest and Father Sean
Ian volunteered AMI was soon stationed
at the camp, thea 400 miles from the
nearest railroad.
A frame church was soon erected with
a shed at the rear where the young priest
lived He had preached only his third
sermon in the camp when q committee of
miners called on him with the request
that he cOnfine his sermons to the Heav-
emily side of the Roman Catholic doc
trine, leaving out death, judgment and
hell There was no changing along these
lines for Father Seaman and he main
tanned his course according to his con-
science and the doctrines of the church
against a general boycott that was de-
clared against the young priest and his
church.
Miners Admire Pluck.
Then he was approached by Dan O'Lea-
~ one afternoon and the miner said:
Father, you've won out and the bows
admire your pluck Here's fifty dollars;
so down to Kimball's and buy a suit Of
clothes. Wen all be with you next Sun

day. Then there was a general reconci-
liatiOn and within a few months Father
Seaman had collected enough money to
open a much-needed hospital in the min
ing camp.
Early in 1873 Father Seaman was sum-
mOned home TO take charge Of the church
at Petaluma, California, and then the
citizens Of Phoebe sent a petition to the
archbishop, asking that he be retained in
the mining camp.
In August, 1873, Father Seaman entered
Salt Lake to take I'D the duties Of mis-
sionary rector in the largest parish in
the United States. With a population of
81 900 there We're about 500 Catholics, of
whom less than 100 were in Salt Lake and
ogden and the others were scattered
throughout the railroad divisions and min
ing camps. The little frame church in
Salt Lake was the only Catholic church
in a territory OF 5000 square miles and
it carried a debt Of 5000.
The early work of Father Seaman was
divided between Salt Lake and Silver
Reef, where ar important mining camp
was flOurishing in the vicinity Of St
George, and he visited that place in 1877,
making the trip of LOCO miles both ways,
on horseback. Father Dennis Kiley came
from San Francisco as assistant in Utah
and together they built and dedicated the
church Of st. John.
Services in Mormon Tabernacle.
In 1879 when Father Seaman was en-
gagged in building the church and hos
pital at St John, the Mormon church au-
thorities invited him to hold his services
at the tabernacle at St George and the
regular services were held there each Sun
day The tabernacle choir assisted In
these services, learning the mass in Lat
in, and Father Seaman won the respect
and admiration Of the Mormon commu-
nifty.
Soon after Father Seaman returned from
Silver Reef the title of vicar-fOrane or
rural dean was conferred upon him. He
continued his work. visiting Park City

Castle Gate and Provo on foot and horse

1t was in 1856 that Father Scanlan was
nominated to the EpisCOpate by the Holy
See and was appointed Vicar-Apostolic
over all Utah and a large part Of Ne
vada. The conservation took place in San
Francisco June %, 1857, when he was given
the title of Bishop Of LaTandun by Arch
bishop RioTdan, assisted by Bishop OCon-
nell and Bishop ManOgue.
Bishop Seaman returned to Salt Lake
the ring nor the purple made any diff
ference, for he has remained the same
kindly and energetic father to his flock
With the dedication of the new cathedral
today, Bishop Scanlan's fondest hopes will
be realized in connection with his work
for the church in Utah. for he has been
the moving spirit in its erection just as
he has been the power which has built
up practically every Catholic institution
in the state.

and sheepmen have forced the cattle
men of the great Southwest of the
United States to move their ranges,
they are naturally seeking the most
favorable localities, and Northern
Mexico seems to appeal more forcibly
to them than any other section. Cat

TELEPHONE POPULAR
WITH THE INDIANS.
Red Men Fond Of Long Distance
Talks Nth Any One Who Hap.
pens at the Other End.

The Indians are great on using the
telephone. They have but little or
no use for the local boards, their calls
being over the long distance. They
do not put in call for the individual.
They do not ask for White Eagle at
Canton or Flying Cloud at Darling
ton. The call is for ANY Cheyenne. 4"
The same is true as to the Arapahoes.
Any member of the tribe serves, says
the Dallas News
An Indian puts in a call for any
member of his tribe at Canton, Dar-
lington, Colony, Lawton or any point.
1t is "up to" the manager to go out
on the street and pick up an Indian.
Any one will do, so he is Of the tribe
asked for. He is put up to the tele-
phone and the talk proceeds. The
talk being in Indian, no one knows
what 1t is about.
If an Indian, say in Clinton, wants
to reach one of his people, say forty
miles from Canton, or any other CIV
en- point, he calls for one of his tribes
men, tells him the message he desires
delivered, and 1t is his business to de-
liver it, even though it requires a
night trip and in storm.
A little Indian baby died near
Clinton last year, and its mother de-
sired that her relatives attend the
funeral services. They lived out on
the prairie northwest from Canton.
The telephone was used and mem
ber of the tribe directed to deliver
the message to the mothers relatives.
1t was delivered by courier across
the prairies and canyons, and the rel
atives came in over the Orient next
day.
Last summer a call came to Clin-
ton for Kiowa that was a poser for
the manager. However, he found
upon inquiry among the Cheyennes
that there was one who had lived
among the Kiowas and spoke the
dialect. He was put up to the tele-
phone and received the talk.

WISE WORDS.

The limelight does not make the
hero.
Pride is the fear of what folks will
think; honor the fear of our own
hearts.
Wheat is often the best cure for
weeds.
We may not determine our circum-
stances, but we do determine our vital
environment.
No man can preach far beyond his
real self.
1t is always easier, and often safer,
to preach on old saints than on mod
ern sinners.
When a man gets beyond the pangs
of conscience, there is not much left
in him to punish.
No man receives more than he be-
lieves.
The ills that follow our lust we
usually charge up to our luck.
The most ridiculous coward in the
world is the man who fears ridicule.
The saddest thing about the life
that ministers to no one is that it
never knows what it has missed.
It's never wise to trust the man
who trusts no one.
Imaginary ills quickly come to con-
stitute something more substantial
than an imaginary hindrance.-
