the improvement of the Tombig-
bee river. Section two (2) from
Demopolis to Columbus will have
6 feet of water at low stage
and maintained by locks and
dams. Section three (3) will

The magnitude of this work
has been realized by those
thoughtful citizens who have
heretofore engaged in its de-
velopment. appeal to you as
one of those who have ever stood
by me in proclaiming the merits
of the Tombigbee ImI rcvemtnt,
and urge upon you as the most
important duty of responsible
citizenship that you attend this
hearing with as large a delega-
ton from your county as you can
possibly interest.
Bring with you all statistics
bearing upon tonnage, past,
present, and prospective from
your county. Secure present
transportation rates and their re-
lation towards river transporta-
ton; but come and come as a
booster.
Yours for the improvement
of the Tombigbee.

FIRST GREEK LETTER FRAT
Was Organized at the College Of VII
liam and Mary in Days Of the
Revolution.

Nowadays there are Greek letter
societies in not only our colleges but
our fitting schools the country over.
They are the first fraternities that
tens of thousands Of men join. And
the first society Of them all--and it
is still hourishing--was the Phi Beta
Kappa, organized at the College Of
William and Mary, Williamsburg,
Va, in the days Of the American
Revolution. The earliest records Of
this fraternity, now in possession Of
the Virginia Historical society, show
that il was organized December 5,
1176, and possessed a motto, a medal
or badge substantially identical with
its present one, grip, seal, a con-
stitusion, form Of initiation, regu-
lar meetings, literary exercises, so
cial occasions, the bond Of brother
hood and the idea of expansion to
other literary institutions.
Its .hree Greek letters, Phi, Beta
and Kappa, are the initials Of three
Greek words meaning PHILOSOPHY
the Guide of Life" At least this
was the statement made in 1881,
during the anti-Masonic agitation,
under the influence Of which the
Harvard society relinquished its se-
crets. Many Of its founders at VIII
liam and Mary became famous men,
John Marshall, afterwsrd chief jns-
tice Of the United States Supreme
court, being one Of them.

Rustling For Nevada Cattle

Carson Appeal: Last season the cattlemen hustled over this
State and it was believed cleaned out the surplus cattle. They
were shipped to the four quarters and by Spring cattle were a pretty
shy article in every section of the State. At Ely a beef famine was
threatened, while in western Nevada all the beef came in by express
or freight from the storage houses. A queer situation in a beef
section.
Word comes from every section in the State that the cattle
hustlers are again on the job. Every farm is visited. When
there is a spare head it is bought When a carload is rounded up
it is shipped In the Ely section 1900 head have been bought from
the ranchers and have been shipped out Many a carload went out
of here and practically every head of cattle that is marketable, has
been secured by the men who follow this game.
The result of this continual drainage is that beef will be higher
than in history. The cutting up of the range into small farms is
responsible in a large measure. The time was not very far back
when large ranges we're maintained throughout the entire State
In many instances the original owners have died or retired. The.
estates were ~subdivided. Small farms occupy the lands, and where
thousands of head of beef ranged ten years ago a small amount is
now available for the market.
The great East depends on the West for its supply of daily
meats, and in many instances the beef that is sent out of here in
carloads comes back in quarters with all the trimmings and local
profits taken off in the large slaughter house.
1t seems that within a few years the local slaughter house will
be an unknown quantity and be a myth. The beef question is but
one that agitates the minds of the citizen.

Establishing Mormon Church in Nevada

Sections of Southern and Eastern Nevada have been recognized
as the stronghold of the Mormon Church in this State. That this
church is growing there is no question as the following from the
Clark County Review shows something along this line:
Persons attending the Moapa Valley railroad celebration last
week perhaps observed the presence of several high dignitaries OF
the Church of Latter Day Saints
The Review has learned that the reason for their presence was
the fact that a "stake" was being organized, to comprise the Nor
mon population of Clark and Lincoln Counties.
For the benefit of such sinners S ourselves, who may not be
familiar with the Mormon religion or efforts of organization, we
will endeavor, with the assistance of a kind friend, to explain what
a "stake" is
Utah is divided into a number of stakes, about the size of a
county. Each is presided over by a president" assisted by two
councillors. Each church within the stake is called a ward and is
presided over by a bishop.
In Clark County there re four wards, Overton, St Thomas,
Bunkervnle and Mesquite, presided over prior to the formation OF
the stake by Bishops Jones, Bunker, Earl and Abbott, respectively.
Lincoln County has two wards, Panaca and Alamo.
In the past these six wards have been a part of ST. George
stake, but in the future the Clark aud Lincoln County wards will
comprise a separate stake, and a president with two councillors
have been appointed to take charge of the new subdivision.
The actual organization was perfected last Sunday, nearly all
arrangements having been practically agreed upon in advance. As
a result there is a change of Bishops in Overton, St Thomas, and
Bunkervile, those of Mesquite, Panaca and Alamo retaining their
positions
