The Fielding Academy has an in
teresting history of many "ups and

have been, of a serious character,
almost fatal to the institution. In
the midst of these most taxing vi

that reason the Academy has always

In the year 1863 President Brigham
Young called number of Latter-Day
Saints under the leadership of
Apostle c. Rich to pioneer and set
tie in Bear Lake Valley. In response
to this call number of men, women
and children arrived here in the fall
of the same year, and from this small
colony of pioneers, together with
those who shortly followed under the
same direction, we are indebted for
the many evidences of prosperity
peace and happiness that are mani
fest in the numerous towns and cities
that dot Bear Lake Valley from one
end to the other. In the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
there are sixty geographical di-
visions, each of which is called a
Stake of Zion. Bear Lake Stake was
the first Stake organized outside OF
the State of Utah From the year
1863 until 1869 the Saints in this sec.
ton of country were not organized
in a Stake capacity, but were pre-
sided over by Charles c. Rich.
In the year 1869 a Stake organiza
ton was effected, David P. Kimbal
being called as President. In the fol
lowing spring Joseph c. Rich was ap
pointed first Counselor to PresideE
David p. Kimball, and William Budg'
was sent to act as Presiding Bishop
an office that has since been dis
pensed with since the more complet
church organization has been put in
to effect in the Stakes of Zion
= This organization continued until tn
year 1877, when William Bulge wa
called to be President of the Bea
Lake Stake with James H. Hart an

George Osmond as his Counselors.
By this time the population of Bear
Lake Valley had increased consider
ably and the church responsibilities
increased proportionately. Not only
was what is known today as Bear
Lake County included within the
boundaries of the Bear Lake Stake
but also Rich County, Utah; Soda
Springs of Bannock County. Idaho;
Uintah County, Wyoming, including
the territory now known as Star
Valley, Wyoming, the population be-
ing about $500 souls.
From time to time this Stake has
been shorn of part of its territory the
first taking place in August, 1892,
when the Star Valley Stake was or
gained from that part of Bear Lake

was organized, John NJ Baxter being
appointed President of that Stake.
This took from our Stake part of
Rich County, Utah; and Uintah Coun.
ty, Wyoming. The vacancy caused by
the removal of President Osmond to
Star Valley was filled by the ap-
pointment of William L. Rich. Some
time later Soda Springs avs taken

made a part of the Oneida Stake
After all segregations that have
taken place, both as to territory and
population there are now $3.50 souls
enrolled, larger number than ever
before.
In the year 1906 President William
Bulge was called to preside over the
Logan Temple, which necessitated a
reorganization of the Stake Presi
dency, which was effected in June
1906, by the calling of Joseph r.
Shepherd as President, and William
L. Rich and MILFORD W. Richards as
Counselors, which organization con
tinues till this day.
President James H. Hart, the
other member of the prior Presidency
died November 18th, 1906, after an i'll
ness of several months.

RENovArINe THE CAPITOL.

The capitol has recently undergone
a thorough house cleaning and reno
waiting. Over 200 workmen have been
laboring with paint brush, mallet and
Aisel for months to improve the
building. Among the numerous big
changes is that of using the power
plant Of southeast Washington, which
will transmit heat and light through
more than a mile of tunnel to the
capitol, the Office building and the
congressional library.
All the rooms, stairways, etc, have
been painted and vanished. For
year after year paint and varnish
have been put on the walls and stair
ways until It will no longer stick. but
peeIs of, leaving unsightly' spots
This year the cleaning went so deep
that all Of the old paint was sandpa-
pered of and the new coats put di-
rectly on the walls. The painting of
the dome and capitol combined has
been an enormous task. II has been
estimated that If one man only we're
to tackle the Job it would take him
about five years to complete it.

A Few Don't. for womeA.

Don't begrudge your husband few
hours spent with his men friends. You
meet friends. Be considerate and give
him the same privilege.
Don't bother him with troublesome
trifles that happen during the day.
Don't whine and complain over
household difficulties.
Don't overwork and be tired and
cross when he comes home. Your hus-
band will see you tired and irritable
where he will not be conscious of a
few grains of dust which you may
have dissipated at the expense Of your
strength.
Don't let yourself get old and ugly.
Take time to keep yourself young and
to cultivate good looks. II you can't
be beautiful try to be interesting
Don't forget to cultivate your mind
Read about what is going on in the
great world, so that If he makes re-
mark on current events you will be
able to answer him intelligently In
stead of giving him blank stare.
Don't inquire how his business is un-
less you are sure from his face that nc
has something pleasant to tell you.

De brought into r. competitive classi-
ned service until further analysis of
the effect of the order has been made,
mere were on July /, 1909, 2,105 as
sistant postmasters in first and second
class post offices, and on the date
named there were GA second class
post offices in which city free delivery
mad not been established, In which
there were employed 1,746 clerks who
were unclassifled. A considerable
number of these second class offices
nave since been classified by the es-
adjustment Of city free delivery. thus
reducing the number of clerks who
are classified ana who will be affected
by the present order. 1t is probable,
however, that the total number of per-
sons affected will be in the neighbor-
hood of 5000.
Some regret is being expressed by
civil service reformers that the presi-
dent did not accompany this new or
der with one covering all the fourth
class postmasters in the country into
the classified service. At present the
fourth class postmasters of IA states
the territory east of the Mississippi
river and north of the Ohio river-are
IN the classified service The number
OF fourth class postmasters in these
IL states is about $4,000. The tota4
number Of fourth class postmasters in
the country is 52,942, so as will be
seen, not quite half the postmasters in
this class are in the classified serv-
ice.
1t was said at the civil service com
mission recently that the policy will
undoubtedly be to fill the places of as
sistant postmasters by the promotion
of postotfice employees already in the
classified service Postmaster General
Hitchcock desires that this policy
shall be pursued rather than a policy
under which men unfamiliar with the
duties Of the office would be brought
in through competitive examinations,
and the civil service commission sup
ports the postmaster generals views.
