80 road surveys totalling IS miles in length
made in 26 counties.
277 bridge inspec tons made in "a counties
100 bridges costing about s175,0O0 built under
the Division plans in ~ counties.
$4,000 worth of road con struction done unde

In addition to the above, much road
and bridge construction has been done
under advice by letter or direct from
information contained in road pamph-
lets issued by the Division, which is
not included in the above summary.
Considering the fact that the loca
officials always voluntarily avail them
selves of the help of the Division, as
assistance is only furnished on request,
the above showing demonstrates the
fact that there is developing real de-
mand for skilled advice in road and

The Work of the Highway
Division.

Three years ago the Highway Divis
ion of the Wisconsin Geological and
Natural History Survey commenced its
work Of giving free engineering advice
to towns in the state contemplating road
or bridge improvement. The first year
was spent in organizing force and
making the work known to the people
Of the state by demonstration roads,
speeches and literature. By July 1st,
1908, the work was well under way,
and since that time remarkable results
have been achieved.
The two year period ending July 1st,
1910, shows the following work done by
the four engineers employed in this
work:
257 public speeches made in 50 counties.
la road inspections made in 81 counties.

CABBAGE.

Cabbage in it's many varieties has
been developed from single wild
growth called Brasica oleracea, which
in its wild state is very remote in ap-
pearance from our cabbage. Kale,
caulifower and collards come from the
same origin. The principal cultivat-
ed varieties of all these are known to
have existed as far back as the six
teenth century.

MAIL BOXES FOR CARRIERS.

We see statement that after awhile
we may expect requirement in this
city in behalf of the mail carriers. that
those who receive mail at their hands
must provide box in which it can be
placed, The argument is that the mail
carriers could do much more work, tra-
verse their routes much more rapidly
and more satisfactorily in every way,
if they did not have to stand at the
doors for people to come and receive
their mail at the ringing of the boil
and perhaps waste good deal of time
in useless waiting.
1t is doubtless true that the mail
carriers could do their work much more
rapidly if these boxes were supplied:
but that would be pretty certain to
make a good deal of trouble for those
who receive their mail in those boxes.
Judging from what we hear about the
present deliveries, the householder
would find in that box mail for good
many people who did not live in the
house And then he would be put to
the trouble of carrying that mail back
TO the office and explaining about IT.
Probably the postof6ce would be
thronged every day for good many
hours by bouseholders who would be
compelled TO return mail that had been
wrongly delivered.
If the mail sorting and delivery were
reasonably accurate, perhaps the box
system might work we'll. but in this city
1t Is certain that the householders would
be put TO a great deal of inconvenience
III case it were adopted, and would
have mail on their hands that they
would hardly know what to do with.
Better go little slow on this mat
fer. and train the mail handlers and
carriers awhile in the accurate and
speedy delivery of mails. before putting
INTO effect this proposed box system.

DON'T FULFILL PROPHECY.

According to pretended propheses
made in the Book of Mormon, the
American Indian was destined to con-
troll this continent at some time in the
near future. In fact, in the early days
of Utah the Mormon leaders depended
so fully upon these supposed prophesies
as to designate the Indians as the Chat
tleaXes of the Lord, who shortly would
90 forth and smite this Nation hip and
thigh to its complete overthrow and the
establishment of the "church and king
dom of Cod in full power over the
| land. This was to happen after the
aborigines had accepted tho Mormon
faith and had become "white and
delightsome people" "
But these alleged prophesies, like all
others of Mormon origin, have turned
ont to be complete fzzlcs. Although
Joseph Smith began a system of prose,
lyting among the Indians that has
been pursued with more or less vigor
even since, the aborigines prefer to
stand by their own peculiar gods and
to reverence the superstitions of their
wv u ifi't dS lHtN nave DCtU HdHQcu
down TO them through the different le-
gends of the respective tribes. Even
the Indians, it seems, have too much
intelligence to swallow the stupid rot
about the Book Of 'ormon, tie golden
plates and the angels, together with
the other nonsense. They have some
pretty stiff stories concerning them
selves, but they appear to think that
even these arc mild as compared with
those put forth by the founders of
Mormonism. SO they continue to tell
their own stories. make their own totem
poles, and abide in their own wick-e-
ups.
However, there is one important fact
that places the brand of falseness upon
these particular Mormon prophesies 1t
is that from millions in number the In.
dians have dwlndled down to a few
hundred thousand. and are still dwind- |
ling. There is absolutely no prospect
whatever of their ever dominating this |
country, and every prospect that finally
they Will disappear altogether

EVIDENCE FROM A DANTE.

EXTRAVAGANT PRETENSIoN

The Tribune has heard il declared in
all solemnity, by faithful elders in the
Mormon church, that there has been ono
particular error IN making up the
Gregorlan calendar that has escaped the
attention OF even the most expert of
calcuIators. In order to properly set
forth the nature of this particular mis-
take brief explanation is necessary.
Joseph Smith, the founder of Nor.
monism, was born on December %,
1903. 1t is claimed by proponents of
tho Mormon idea that he was in reality
the successor of Christ on the earth
foreordaincd and set apart to take up
the work where the Savior left il and
TO usher in the "last dispcnsation Of
the fullness of times as they call if
With the peculiarly warped reasoning
OF the Mormon priesthood. which claims
all good for itself and attributes all evil
to others, these elders argue that
Christmas day. therefore. should be
celebrated on the twenty third day of
December, They assume that it would
only be natural for the Father TO BRING
about the births Of Christ and ,Josenb
Smith upon corresponding day in their
respective periods. And in order to
have tho dates agree they have the su-
preme assurance to suggest that the an
niversary of the birth of the Savior is
tho one to be changed, because, in
ferentially, they know that Joseph
Smith IS natal day is absolutely the cor
rect one. In other words, Christ must
conform TO Joseph or be in the wrong.
The extravagant claims made by the
bogus prophets of Mormondom have
bred in the Mormon priesthood dis
position to in turn become extravagant
and arrogant in assumptions; and usually
the more intensely ignorant the elder,
the more audacious is he in pressing his
lmpudence upon others.

BAD EXEMPLARS FOR BOYS.

An apparently incorrigible youth has
been making some trouble for his
fatherless household it appears, accord.
ing to letter which was printed i'm
| the editorial columns Of the Deseret
News on Friday night. lnasmuch as
the communication was sent TO the
church organ, IT is evident that the
writer is church member, as arc the
members of the disturbed family of
which the unruly youth is part. The
News gives some good advice in the
case, which should be followed in rem.
edy of the trouble. as we'll as for the
good of The boy and the community at
large. Then it goes on to reason like
this:
only those who have learned to bend
70 proper authority are OF any use in a
state where obedience to the will of the
majority is the sine qua non of good citi-
zenship.
Which, also. is quito right But what
sort of example is before that boy Is
eyes every day, as set by the men to
whom, supposedly. he looks for precept
IN conduct toward women, toward the
family, toward neig6bors and toward
the State? He finds his chief exempIars
to be disrcgardful of the tender senti-
ments of tender wives, in that they re-
fuse 10 devote their affection TO the
one woman in all the world whom thew
should cherish-the wife. He secs that
they practice disrespect toward wives
by bringing into their households other
women who have no legitimate place
there. And disrespect toward the wife
ls disregard of the mother, for the wife
becomes the mother. The lad observes
that these chief exemplars Of his are
dchcrs of the sentimentalities of their
neighbors in these practices; that they
rebel against the law; that they are of
no good use to the State because they
have not "learned to bend to proper
BY all means, let that boy be properly
disciplined; and by the same line Of
reasoning, let his elders, who should
know infinitely better, be subjected to
similar discipline, so that this boy and
all others may have better examples
before them.

AMERICAN MEATS IN EUROPE

Secretary Wilson of the National De
partmcnt of Agriculture testfes before
the Congressional, committee that Ameri-
can meats are sold cheaper in Europe
than they are sold here at home. That
is surely curious revelation of trade
secrets. American meats ought GER
tainly to be sold cheaper in this coun-
try than in foreign countries If they
arc not. the reason should certainly be
sought. IL that reason Is in the tariff
of this country, or any other country,
the fact should be clearly shown. If
1T is not in the tariff, then the real
reason should be sought and disclosed.
1t is always difficult to trace the I'M
pulse and effect of trade activities. It
has been known for a long time that by
reason Of patents and tariffs certain
articles of manufacture arc sold abroad
cheaper than in this country. This is
explained III d good many cases By the
fact that the foreign sales are made
to clear stock and to enable the fac
tories TO keep running with full en-
ploymeDt all the time. And that, in
way, is a satisfactory explanation
But it is not a fair explanation of the
charge made by Secretary Wilson that
American meats are sold cheaper abroad
than at home If tins is fact that
can be fully established, then it ought
TO be traced TO its cause, and correc-
tive applied. Tho inhabitants of a
country of abundance like this ought
to be cared for with that abundance
conferred upon mankind, and while we
