Counted Ants for Two Years.

A marvel of scientific research, says
our Berlin correspondent, has been
accomplished by Professor Young,
who has been investigating the in
terror condition of anthills. By dint
of patient observation Professor
Yemg discovered that an anthill two
feet in height was inhabited by $3.50
ants. Other anthills of almost the
same size were found to contain g.
500, $4,000 and $4,000 ants respective
ly. These observations and the count
ing OF the tiny insects occupied two
years.-London Evening Standard.

City Needs More Power.

Jacksonville is sadly in need of
more electric power than is now
available. The light plant is badly run
down and cannot be put into proper
condition for less than $4,000, ac-
cording to estimates. The city needs
power for the Widenham-Daub wells,
and although the Jacksonville Rail
way and Light company will soon be
in a position to furnish all that is
needed the cost will be greater than
the city can afford to pay.
incidentally, 1t has been suggested
that the light plant might be used
to pump from the wells during the
daylight hours when no lights are
needed. This may not be practicable,
as it is understood that the dynamos
at the wells are not of the right
kind to be operated by power from
the light plant. Whether it would be
a matter of large expense to make the
necessary changes is not known to

Worthy Of Investigation.

Since the superintendent of the
Keokuk company has expressed a
willingness to visit Jacksonville and
explain how this city may buy cheap
power, it would seem to be in order
for the Business Mems association
and the city council to look into the
matter. 1t is at least worthy of care
full consideration.

The East Terminal.

Another fact of interest is that the
land surveys did not indicate that
the Mormon trail began further east
than Appanoose county, although 1t
was we'll known that the Mormons,
as far as they are concerned, passed
from Nauvoo to what the surveys call
the Mormon trail on their way west
ward We find two things to account
for the non-appearance on the early
maps of the Mormon trail by name
through counties east of Appanoose.
First, that section of the country had
been we'll travelled before 1916 and
therefore the routes passed over by
the Mormons had already been given
at least local names. Then again,
the Mormons were expelled in Feb
ruary, 1916, and started westward
with great reluctance because Of the
certainty of suffering, at least amongst
their animals, until the arrival of
grass. Therefore the thousands of
families scattered up and down the
Mississippi river among the settle
ments, working where they could and
maintaining themselves as best they
might, slowly moving westward along
the different pathways toward the
New Purchase, into which they pass
ed by May first, and by the mid
die of the summer concentrated upon
a single route The land surveys were
made after they had passed along,
and their trail, like the banks and
beds of the streams. was made by the
surveyors one Of the landmarks for
the notation of courses and distances
of section lines.

st. Louis VIII Get Power.

The city of st. Louis already has
entered into a contract with the
power company for $4,000 horse pow
err of electric current to be used for
street lights and street cars. 1t is said
the Mckinley interurban interests
are conducting negotiations with the
company for power to be used in
connection with an extensive interur-
ban system in Iowa. Other cities also
are considering the advisability of
purchasing municipal power from the
company.
Mr.. Cooper expressed a willingness
to come to Jacksonville at any time
to give an address on the proposition,
setting forth what the company will
be able to do. He says they will fur
nish power cheaper than any city
can make it and that there will be
no trouble in transmitting the pow
err any desired distance.
Should Investigate the Plan.
II has been suggested, and the idea
seems to be good one, that the city
council should at once investigate and
learn if the plan is practicable for
B Jacksonville. A bond issue has been
considered for the purpose, among
other things. of rehabilitating the
light plant SO that it will furnish ade
quate power for street lights and to
pump water from the Widenham-Daub
wells. In view of the apparent practi-
cability OF the Keokuk company as a
supplier of power it would seem de-
sirable for this city to learn If it
would not be more desirable to buy
power from that source than to spend
$4,000 or more in reconstructing the
old plant.

I[By Curator e. w. Harlan

The field notes and the old road Of
the Mormon trail agreed in practical
ly every location and agreed with the
traditions of the different localities
where we stopped to make examina-
ton. So easy did we find it to To-
cate and identify the route, notwith-
standing it has been abandoned as a
travelled way perhaps three-fourths of
its length across the state, that, after
testing my notes by the examination
of the ground through Pottawattamie,
Cass and Adair counties, we took to
the more generally travelled roads and
gave more attention to the historic
sites and events the rest of the way
to Keokuk. AS a result we gave at
tention to the old roads of territor-
ial and early state days which con-
tributed to the Importance OF the
Mormon trail. 1t is to be remember
ed that this old travelled way has no
more connection with the Mormons
as people than the city of Nauvoo,
or the town of Garden Grove, or the
pasture land they called Mt. Pisgah,
has today. The Mormons merely
made the easy levels toward Council
Bluffs their path, then passed along,
to be followed by the immense migra-
ton to California and Oregon, as
we'll as the nearer empires of the
west, until the railroads superseded
the wagon travel. Even after the

THE FORGOTTEN.

Could there be any better illustration
of the utter insignifcance Of the Gov
ornor of this state than the fact that all
the morning newspapers except The
Tribune In commenting upon the result
Of the election, practically forgot all
obout Dix? And The Tribune referred
only briefly and incidentally TO the
condemnation Of his administration. The
state had gone overwhelmingly against
the Democratic party, and yet no one
thought Of the official head Of the Demo
cratic administration. The wreck Of
Democratic power and opportunity in
this state was being cleared away. The
victims were all supposed to have been
recovered and removed before any one
thought of Dix and remembered that he,
too. was buried in the catastrophe.
He was almost forgotten because he
is so easily forgettable. Nothing that
he does or is serves to keep him in mind
The state has gone through a campaign,
but none Of the political opponents Of
the Democratic party thought it worth
while TO waste any breath on Governor
Dix. His personality was only incl
dental, so completely has he become
merged in Murphy. If he had been a
mere amanuensis Of the boss he would
hardly have been more negligible than
by common consent he was during the
campaign and on the morning after It's
results became known and comment was
in order. No one thought it worth while
TO treat him rs IL he had a separate ex-
istence from the boss. He was n mere
appurtenance of the boss, and to strike
the boss crushing blow was enough.
The insignifcance of the Governor had
its advantages in enabling the public to
concentrate its attention upon Murphy,
but how humiiating to be so dwarfed
by such n person as to be practically
forgotten on the morning after election
