NO TRUANcY REPORTED.
Houghton Authorities Tind Little
Truaney in District.

IL is evident that both the parents
and children I'm the Houghton pub
lie schools respect the truancy laws
las the officers of the school find very
few cases OF this Kind. What they do
ind i'm their investigation of uneX-
planned absences from school is an
appalling number of poverty stricken
families both i'm Houghton and Hur-
ontown. 1t was stated that many of
the smaller children who come to
school have not enough clothes to
keep them warm i'm summer weather,
let alone the present cold weather.
Many of the families visited by Capt.
Dunn. the, truancy officer, are i'm pitt
able circumstances and the wonder
is that such n state of affairs should
exist i'm a village such as Houghton.
People outside of the schools who
do not come i'm contact with the ac-
tual conditions have little conception
of the want and misery i'm many neg
lected or unfortunate families. The
Salvation Army is already beginning
their annual work of making Christ
mas baskets for the poor and IL is
hoped that the residents of Hough-
ton WIN respond with liberal dona-
tions.

HIS BOOK.

He was very old, ana he scrambled
into the pay -as-you enter" car with
difficulty. once safely inside he seated
himself in the corner Of the car and
began to read.
The car bumped its way along Wal
nut Street, past Broad, past Ritten-
house Square. Not once did the old
man look up. He was absolutely bur-
led i'm his book, to which he gave the
absorbed attention of a scholar.
At Fifty-fourth and Spruce streets
the old man cast a startled glance out
of the window, got up, and hobblod to
the front Of the car. on the way he
dropped his book. and several passen-
gers had chance to see the title be-
fore it was picked up and given back
to its owner.

Probing the Railroad Charges.

The postmaster general, with the
sanction of President Taft, has been
planning TO secure legislation which
would take second and third class
postoffices out of the political APP
pointment list" and put them on the
civil service list. The thought that
the chairman Of the national commit
tee, who also happened to be post
master general of the United states,
might favor any such laudable work,
was scoffed at pretty generally. but
time proved that il was true. Now
following closely on the statement OF
reduced deficit. IL can be said that the
department employees, under the direc-
ton of the chief, are engaged in the
task of finding out definitely how much
il costs the railroads TO carry the
mails, and whether they are making
the enormous profits that have beer
more than limited at in congress and
elsewhere.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Postmaster
General Frank III. Hitchcock, notwith-
standing his prominence as Repub-
lean politician. is determined that his
administration shall be a business and
not political affair. AS an evidences
OF this intention the postmaster gem
eral is now engaged I'm an effort to
find out to the last cent how much 4
actually costs the railroads TO carry
the mails. If there is any graft in
the enormous sums paid to railroads
for transportation, Mr.. Hitchcock
wants to know il, and If. on the other
hand, any of the railroads are not re-
ceiving a fair remuneration for their
services. he would like information on
that point also. When Mr.. Hitchcock
gets his information. it may be that
means will be found to save the peo-
pie of the country a large amount of
money, and that they will receive the
benefit of il i'm some way most profit
able to the purse and to the conven-
fence of the American citizen.

There are now more game birds in
the state than there have been at any
time in the past ten years. They have
increased to such an extent that every
lake is black with them. Farmers
say they remember years ago looking
over their fields and counting thou
sands in flight, and this season the
same effect is presented. The dry
weather has been good for them. and
the duck clubs and private parties are
making great preparations for the
annual sport.
There are a large number Of clubs
in the state, some with national mem
bership, but the majority being purely
local concerns. On the Bear river the
most important are the Bear River
Duck club and the DuckVilIe Gun
club. Nearer the city are the New
State Gun club. New Moon Gun club,
Church Farm, Decker Lake, Porter
Lake, Mcintyre, Tanner, Williams
Lake, Glover Leaf, Green River, Bal
ley Lake, Central Black Slough and
Morrison Duck clubs. A few are in
corporated, and all of them own or
control many acres of land.
The first important duck club was
organized in the SOS, with John w
Lowell, president, and Charles Read,
secretary Among the other members
were Milton Barrett, n. H Walker,
Ellsworth Daggett, James Harvey
Thomas Almy and NJ. B. Sowies. It
was known as the Salt Lake Sport
mans club. and a camp was estab-
1ished at Spring lake. a branch OF
Utah lake. Houses were built and
every member had a boat. In those
days this was the finest shooting and
boating the country afforded. and

was common occurrence for MEN,

the first street paving, the first thea
ire, the gas works. the water works,
the original electric light plant, the
first bicycle, automobile, sail boat and
atrship. Each of these has its history
for the greater part unwritten. and
only stored in the memories of the men
who promoted the enterprises.
In the old fort located on the site
of Pioneer Park, in the winter OF
lS4S-49, Hiram B. ClaWsOn now living
in the city, taught the first school in
Utah. The buildings of the fort were
soon abandoned and better accOmOda-
lions were provided for the education
of the children of the pioneers, but il
is not forgotten that this was the in
ceptiOn of the great system of public
schools of the present day. That was
a bitter winter and little old step
stove" was the heating plant. This
stove is now in the possession of the
state historical society, presented by
Nymphus Murdoch. In 1850 the Uni
Versity of Deseret, now the University
of Utah, was chartered by the terri
tOrial legislature, which designated
Salt Lake City as its location. 1t was

title of the Parent School" in Mrs.

Fruit Industry Begins.
The fruit industry of Utah may be
said TO have had its beginning in the
spring of 1S4S when Lorenzo b. Young
planted the seed from which grew the
first apple tree west of the Missouri
river. Last July this tree, standing in
City Greek canyon, was cut down TO
make room for modern dwelling. Ii
was still bearing apples after 81 years.
In 1853, the Volunteer fire depart
ment was organized and the first fire
engine west of the Missouri river was
built by Jesse c. Little. 1t was hand

Ogden secretary. The house is built to
accommodate sixty guests, but not more
than twenty-five are usually present
at any one time during the season.
Every convenience for good shooting
is found at the club, where there is a
full equipment Of boats, blinds and
custOdians. Twenty square miles OF
tules make the best duck shooting Ia
the world, and thousands of ducks are
raised here. A unique feature Of the
shooting on these preserves is the mud
decOy commonly used. The water il
shallow and the mud bottom makes il
possible TO throw Up mounds OF mud
with shovel which look like a flock
OF ducks. They seem to be better
than the artificial decOy, and this
method is a favOrite with the members
Of the club. Teal, sprig, mallard, red
heads, canvas backs and spOonbil
ducks are among the species shot on
these preserves.
The protection afforded the ducks
out Of season on the great marshes OF
the Bear River Duck club makes good
shooting not only on these grounds,
but elsewhere throughout the state.
Safeguards are thrown about the duclca
which allow them to hatch undis-
turbed, and in the season these ducks
scatter over the lakes OF the state, in
creasing the early shooting before the
fall migration from the north sets in.
A custodian is on the preserves tho
year round. and the protection OF
game afforded by recent legislation has
had a good effect. Members are ex-
pecting the best shooting in years with
the opening Of the fall season.
New State Gun Club.
The New State Gun club. H. s. Mar
gets, president, is located on 5000
acres Of land at the mouth Of the Jor-
dan. This club also has a national
membership, though the majority OF
shares is held in salt Lake. There ara
a dozen small club houses Oh tina

with a central dining room. A large
amount Of money has been expended
in building canals, and the club has
