Where the owl and the bat ard the trading
Their dwelling place maintain.
Where mountains hold the morning gold
And gold is in the ground
And golden themes and golden schemes
And golden dreams abound.
Where men of old found sunburnt gold
And gold may still be found.
The mourning dove there mourns of love
And the doeful coyotes cry,
BY lonely springs the cricket sings
TO the winds that wander by
And round and round with muffied sound
The vultures cleave the sky.
Why mourn of love O mourning dove ?
Does love call thee to mourn
For those who wait on luck or fate
In mystic lands forlorn
Thy plant may be a threnody
For those who Eeer return,
Some win by luck. some win by pluck
And some win not at all.
Some lie forlorn by sage and thorn
With the purple mist for pail.
While life endures the spirit lures
Aud golG allures us all;
She waves her hand across the land
And the cities rise like Dreams
TIE golden queen of the purple sheen
In the land of golden schemes,
BY mountains rolled in msts Of gold
Where heavens glory CLEANS.

BY CLARENCE E. EDDY.
Under the skies where the mountains rise,
Rugged and vast and bold
Under the skies of the West there lies
The Ian of the lure of gold
OF gold that is found in the gracious ground
That msers never have doled.
Upon the crest of the mighty West
And famed by the cooling breeze
That breathes and blows from the mountain snt
And the mighty western
A goddess stands with reckoning hands
And calls her argOsies.
Queen of the land of the sage and sand
Where the golden treasures lie,
The stars that gem her diadem
Are the stars Of the desert sky.
In purple mist she keeps her tryst
While sun and moon go by.
In purple mist she keeps her tryst
Enrobed in purple sheen,
She calls: Come here, come WOO near
l am the golden queen
And some she loves but some reproves
And gives but dule and teen.
And they are bold who WOO for gold
For some win but grave.
But they win best who love the quest
Nor court her a slave.
And we'll they WOO who dare and do
For fortune loves the brave
ANA tney are brave VINO tempt the grave
Where heat and thirst may kill,
But men were known to win a throne
And conquer Fate by WILL
So where the dry, great deserts lie
The spirit lures them still
In purple mist by sunlight kissed
The upland deserts lie,
A purple sheen enwraps the scene
Beneath the desert sky,
But some behold mist of gold
That lures them till they die
In dying dreams their they see fair streams
In dreams their thirst they Stake,
With dry canteens in dry ravines
They sleep no more TO wake
Till on their sleep SO strange and deep
Great Heavens dawn shall break
Where vast and high the deserts lie
The cooling breezes blow,
But there is death in the furnace breath
OF the pits that lie below,
And such hot accursed spot
too have CHANGED to know.
The valley where the burning air
Is filed with burning thirst,
The valley famed and justly named
AS with name accursed
The silent. sub-sea mystery
OF horrors oft rehearsed.
In the abode of the horned toad
In the purple mists domain,
in the silent land of the sage and sand
In the land of stingy rain
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1910-08-23

Utilities Commissions.
The question of a utility commits
sion was discussed by the Hon. John
A. Gavitt Of Hammond. and r. NJ.
Ashe OF Richmond In addition to
Mayor Shank's discussion of track ele-
walton the Hon. Henry c. Hogan of
Fort Wayne handled the question.
Are the Benefits of the Public Ac-
counting Law Equal to the COST" was
the subject of spirited and concise
discussion by William A Dehority of
Indianapolis and Ernest E. Cloe of No
blesville.
Preceding the afternoon program
the Richmond fire department gave an
exhibition run from Fifteenth street
to Ninth street on North A. This
was the initial appearance of the new
hose company, No. 5. The work of
the department was the subject OF
much praise from the delegates.
Senator Will R. Wood whose subject
1.-The City's and Towns Laws was
left over from the morning program
He held that these laws have done
much to improve the situation in Indi.

Darrow OF Laporte. the Maple City"
He said that a young city must build
its necessary buildings, and render its
streets passable before it can attend
to the questions OF civic beauty. He
thought utility came first
In place of Ellwood Norris, who
could not be present, County Superin-
tendent c. W. Jordan spoke on Pub
lie Schools" He said that the public
schools have peculiar relation to the
city in that they constitute a separate
corporation and yet their head is elect
ed by the city council. Mr.. Jordan be-
lieved-judging by what he said by the
experience of Richmond-that election
by the city council is the best way to
obtain school board. He said this
board when once elected should be
entirely free from the city council.
Mr.. Jordan paid high tribute to the
schools of Richmond. He said that
here We begin to build in the kinder
gartens by placing there some of the
best teachers, those will be mothers to
the children.
Plea for Fairgrounds.
Watson O'Neal OF Richmond. fol-
lowed Superintendent Jordan with a
strong plea for city Fairgrounds. He
said that Richmond now has one good
playground but needs several more. He
severely arraigned the laws which pre-
vent city councils from using their
best judgment in the support of such
public enterprises. Mr.. O'Neal was
followed by Attorney William A. Bond
who spoke strongly in favor of the
playground. He said that the free
life of the country is better for the
child's development but since this is
| not possible for many children the
playground is the best substitute.
President McNary in introducing the
! musicians of the evening said that the
musical numbers of this meeting are
the best in the history of the league
Miss Bicker of Cincinnati again sang
