The Romance of the Desert
 

FTOIn 11dIpei NSS's'
 Across the Grand Canon and the Utah line the desert still prevails. But it ap- pears a harsher desert. There are few water-holes, miles apart. Long escarp- ments of red rock enclose oval valleys. Some of these valleys have good grass part of the year. The mesas and plateaus support cedar and pine and luxuriant grass. Southern Utah is bold and bar ren, cut and ridged by sharp saw-tooth mountain chains, between which are roll ing levels of sage. It was an uninhabita- ble country but the Mormons made 1t habitable. They made homes in places summed by Indians. There are only a few settlements in southern Utah. These little villages are connected by trails, through the sage, under the towering red cliffs, over the ridges They are cut off from the world. The fanatical Mormons who settled there deliberately sought the

ARMY SCANDAL
Czar of Russia AyaiIs Himself of Just Enough Freedom at Bad Nnnheim to Play Horses With
 His Son

Berlin, October 1.-(Special )-The tenn perance folk and strict church members here are highly gratihed at the stand against tippling in the army during the maneuvers In eastern Prussia One of his reasons for this strange attitude on his part Is that hundreds of soldiers have been dropped from the army because of heart trouble superinduced by the use of liquor. The Emperor ordered that only none-alcoholic beverages be served to him, as he has found from experience that they enable him better to withstand the strain in the saddle. He also called upon the troops to cut down their in- dulgence in liquor to the lowest possi- ble point. This exhortation is all the more In place since statistics show that in consequence of the rising consump- ton of alcohol in the army, the number of soldiers whom it has been necessary to discharge for heart affections has in- creased tenfold. For the foreign off, cers who were his guests the Emperor ordered supply of wines. These were transported In the kitchen motor-train which this year Is used for the first time. It carried a marquee with a col lapsible table, chairs, crockery and glass for 12 persons. Two new transportable houses were constructed for the accom- modation of the Emperor in case the operations should render 1t necessary for him to pass the night away from head quarters.
