MATTHEW pALToN,s CHART.

1t may be interesting, in connection
with DR.. Cooks polar explorations, to
speak again of the chart drawn by our
Mormon friend, Mr.. Matthew Dalton Of
Willard, Utah.
It will not be easy to convince Mr..
Dalton that DR.. Cook has found the
north pole-and there are good many
other people who share his skepticism
in the matter. Part of them with the
Dalton reason, part from other causes.
Mr.. Dalton has issued a little book
with illustrating charts, and clearly sets
forth his idea. According to this work,
it is his belief that this world in or on
which We live is but one of three glOOes.
If you take three spheres, two OF them
three inches in diameter and enc six
inches, spike them on an axis with the
large one in the middle, you viii have,
roughly, a representation of the Dalton
theory. He believes that at the poles
the convexity of the earth's surface
slopes away, reverses into a eoncave,
and so forms the neck or spindle which
gives passage from our earth to the
globe to the north. So that the exact
polar north would be buried FAR beneath
the earth or ice surface, and impossi-
bic of reaching by any traveller. And
he believes-this very reverently-that
in that northern and smaller globe wait
the Children of Promise who will some
day come back to this globe, and pos
sess il.
Prior to DR.. Cooks journey, it is GER
tain that no one has gained a position
to cOntrOvert the Dalton theory. Nan
sen went into the ice in the Fran, and
allowed himself to be carried in the
pack across the top of the world, and
down into the northern Atlantic. He
knew-as do most men-that there is a
constant movement Of the ice fields
from the waters above Behring straits,
through the region Of perpetual frigid-
ity, and down past Greenland, where
the warmer winds melt the masses, and
make icebergs that dot and endauger
the seas until they are reduced again
TO water, and start for their journey
around Cape Horn and Good Hope to
be again transformed into ice for the
endless journey across the pole.
And hansen didn't go over the pole
His own tracing of his course shows
that he was diverted around it.
We are by no means indorsing Mr.
Daltons theory. We are simply men,
tioning it. And we are not vet quite
it.

FROM INSPIRATION POINT.

About two years ago half a dozen
carriages. filed with members Of the
city council representatives Of the Com
mercial club, and a number Of other cit
liens, were driven up City Creek can
yon, across the then new concrete
bridge, and back on the new road to In
SEPARATION Point-the elevation at the
west extremity of Eleventh avenue. And
familiar as all of them were with Salt
Lake. there was a view few Of them had
ever seen.
The view today is the same-except
the workmen are now busy laying ce-
ment sidewalks and sewers in Eleventh
avenue. The street is being graded
away to the east. Just below that point
and reaching from the brink of the can
Won in a wide sweep east and south
clear to the penitentiary, are unnum-
bered new houses. Most of them are
commodious and beautiful. All Of them
are homelike and substantial.
It is worth while for Salt Lake man
to make again that trip which was
made in the carriages long ago. Our

THEY ARE STILL BETTING.

People who keep informed on pass
ing events win remember that the New
York legislature was called in special
session to enact a law absolutely for
bidding, under heavy penalties. betting
at horse races. The law was enacted
precisely as Governor Hughes demand
ed. Plainly, such betting could never
again be known in New York state.
Yet here is an extract from the Even
ing Post Of New York, describing scenes
at a race track in that state:
Betting occupied the greater share of
attention however, the early part Of the
afternoon. The grounds were plaCarded
with posters in large type saying that
DOOkmaking or gambling in any form was
prohibited and giving the text of the law
passed by the legislature last year. The
notice was signed by the secretary OF
the Jockey club.
In the big railroad-statiOn-lfke structure
which the Jockey club provides to shelter
the prohibited practices the bOokmakers
were on hand early. They carried large
bundles of bills between their fingers and
recorded bets just as of yore, their eli
ents handing them money as fast as they
could take it, One after another came
the clever young man who has read past
performances and thinks he has picked
winner, the seedy looking person who
has a system, the man with the inside
tip from the owners. the pTOsperOus-loOk-
ing mlddle-aged man who can afford to
lose, and the Obliging man who is mere
ly acting as messenger for the women in
the stand.
That ar a track where racing and
betting have been going on for fifteen
years, and IRE g0iuy oil now.
What was the good Of the extra ses-
sion?

HAD MONEY LEFT OVER.

1t doesn't alway5 happen that tie
committee in charge Of d celebration
has any money on blnd when the fes-
tiviries are ended. It happened here in
Salt Lake. when the executive commit
tee OF the Grand Army encamFment
found itself with some cash, even after
Sterrett had left the city. And the east
ern exchanges bring news to the effect
that the Champlain tercentenary com
mission admit the possession of more
than fifty thousand dollars in cash after
the impressive events Of that celebra-
ton had been paid for. And they are
going to erect a monument to Cham
plain with the residue.
The money left over in the hands Of
the Grand Army committee here in Salt
Lake viii be used, if there be no objec-
ton, in helping TO entertain President
Taft and his friends when they come
here, a little later in the month.
The possession Of a surplus il such
cases is evidence both of generosity On
the part Of the community, and go0d
management and honest conduct on the
part of the committees handling the
work
No one can tell precisely what amount
will be needed for a given event. Care
fuI men stay within the limit of their
funds.
It illustrates the high character OF
those selected for such unpaid services.
The members Of the executive commit
tees did more work than all the mem
bers of the legislature and the city
council Of Salt Lake have done since
last New Years day. They didn't get
a cent for their work. they did a mighty
task successfully and honorably-and
they didn't leave a deficit.
And maybe there is a moral in this
pleasant tale.

with a camera instead of a gun, she
Travelled through the rookeries Of the far
south. And this is the simple story of
her conversion:
The next rookery we visited was on an
island, and though the air was again thick
with flying birds as we approached, there
were no egrets. Our guides declared tnat
the man who had shot over this rookery
the wear before had cleared more than
81 600. One guide assured US that only
three weeks before he had passed the
island and seen a dozen egrets noVerlng
over the mangrOVes.
After several other unsuccessful expe-
ditiOns we tried the rOokeTy on Cuth-
bert lake. Here we had our first glimpse
of egIets. Among the cloud of birds that
rose on our approach two were wearing
plumes-beautiful, wonderful plumes. A.
first sight it seemed almost impossible
to believe them natural part OF the
birds.
We visited the rookery and soon found
a nest with the nestlings a few days out
of the she'll Our camp was pitched in
the vicinity and my husband and ] spent
four days photOgraphing the birds and
studying their habits. At the end of that
time we set out for another roOkery at
which our guides thought there was a
good chance of finding egrets.
We were away three days. On return
ing at my special request we again land
ed at the Cuthbert rOOkery. At our APP
prOach the birds again filled the air, but
we looked in vain for our two plumed
friends. l looked at my husband, then

The most Dlaintive sound that I ever
heard struck my ears. 1t was repeated,
but oh, so family.
We found only one of the nestlings
alive; the other had apparently just
breathed its last On the ground be-
meath the nest there were some empty
cartridge shells and a frog, dead and
baked from lying in the sun. Our guides
pointed this out as proof positive that
one Of the birds had been killed while in
the act of dropping food into the mouths
of her babies.

guides assured me that it was too far

could, but it never repeated that heart

COMFORT IN CHURCH.

A Pennsylvania preacher proposes a
church in which men may smoke while
listening to the sermon. He thinks he
could have a bigger congregation 'ff
those who came could be made COM
Portable" And one of his clerical
brethren suggests as an Improvement,
"a dormitory where the men attending
service could sleep while he is preach
ing" Which sounds like satire.
Assuming that people in general are
sinners, it is a matter of question
whether a plan to make them uncom-
Portable would not be more effective
The old preachers, from Whitfield to
Cartwright, never tried to lull their
auditors into somnOlence. Sin was a
very real thing to them, and they so
preached as-if one may borrow a
phrase coined after their lamented de-
parture-made people sit UP and take
notice. And the only problem for those
preachers was to get a house big enough
for their winter audiences. In summer
they spoke in the forest--and thousands
came.
The Pennsylvania minister is mistak-
en-. The men he would get into his
church with a promise of the liberty to
smoke would probably regard his
preaching as interfering with their en-
joyment of a good cigar. And a gen.
tleman who admits that he can't draw
as well as a cigar has 10 business IN
the pulpit.

people do not enough see the matches
view which spreads out from Inspira-
ton Point-a name, by the way, applied
by Fisher Harris. Just below, the street
car company is putting in a new line at
Ninth avenue. And these new houses,
taking place on the once-naked hillside,
are not drawing people from the regions
farther south. Away down there to-
ward Liberty park-and away beyond,
countless new homes also are rising. So
with the west side. So with Capitol hill.
SO with the whole valley.
No one can view the scene from that
point and fail to feel pride that he is a
resident of salt Lake City. And no one
seeing it can doubt that the same bar
gains in real estate which have been
made since the road around Inspiration
Point was finished can be duplicated
by present-day investments.

PROUD GIRL FLEFS
FROM CLASSMATES
Forsakes Home and Crosses
Continent Because She Failed
in Examination

OAKLAND. March 26.--Mortified by
her failure to pass her college exami-
nations, Miss Clara Renning. an at
tractive 20 year old girl, whose parents
are well to do residents of Minneapolis,
fled across the, continent to Oakland
in order to escape the fancied disgrace
of facing her classmates again.
Miss Renning was arrested here last
night at the request of Superintendent
of Police Corriston of Minneapolis. who
later wired to Chief of Police Wilson
that the girls father had started for
California. The youthful fugitive spent
last night in the city prison under the
care of the mafron and will probably
remain in her cell until her father
reaches this city.
Miss Renning is apparently a young
woman of extremely strong will, and
she has absolutely refused to discuss
her journey here. her family connec-
tions or her past history. She took
her arrest very coolly and spent the
day reading in her cell. This afternoon
she asked Captain of Detectives Peter
sen to wire her parents and ask their
permission for her to go to the home
of friends here, whose name she has
thus far refused to disclose

FRUSTRATES DARING
PLOT TO WAYLAY HIM
City Veterinarian Takes Timely
Precautions

ALAMEDA, March 26.-Dr. Tom Car
penter, city veterinarian and food in
spector. believes that plan was laid
last night to rob or beat him, and that
if it had not been for his foresight
in requesting a milkman to accompany
him to a lonely section of the west
end, where he went on telephone call
to attend sick horse, he would have
Jared badly.
Carpenter received The telephone
message at his home at IL o'clock to
go to the west end of Haight avenue to
care for a valuable horse The per-
son telephoning told Carpenter that
when he reached the place there would
be some one to meet him with the
horse. Carpenter responded to the
call, and upon arriving at the location
designated failed to find any person
or horse. Becoming suspicious, Car
penter called to passing milkman
and asked the latter to accompany him
on a search of the neighborhood.
AS the city veterinarian and his
companion were passing a clump of
bushes two men sprang out and fled
Carpenter is of the opinion that the
pair had plotted to either rob him or
waylay him and beat him. He re-
ported the occurrence to the police,
and an investigation is being made.
