issued by the United States Geological
Survey. Attitudes in the Kern river
basin range from a few hundred feet
at the mouth of the rivers lower can
yon to more than $4,000 feet on the
headwaters over a hundred miles dis
tant. More than 80 of the peaks in
the basin exceed $4,000 fees in aIti-
tudc, and many of the lakes which
feed the upper stream are at an alti-
tude of IL 900 feet or more.
Mount Whitney. the higheSt noun

ENGLISHMEN CLING TO
COUNTRY'S OLD TRADITIONS

Conservative England i much
worked up over the effort of reform
ers to secure general adoption of the
so-called Roman pronunciation of
Latin In English schools an / colleges.
To the British mind the transgressicn
upon their time honored standards of
rendering Latin BIZ the English sounds
is a violation of the dearest suscepti
bilities. The Briton may reconcile
himself to having his church disestab-
lished or the Irish raised from the po-
sition of a subject nation, but to as
sert that the vowel sounds of his alma
mater are all wrong is to him close to
sacrilege.
The debate is likely to be the more
| acrimonious because there Is no we'll
settled basis of fact ON which to de-
termine what the old pronunciation
was. The advocates of the Roman pro-
n%unciation claim that the descent of
the language makes it the closest liv-
ing approximation of the ancient Ro-
man tongue. But we know that there
have been decided changes Of English
pronunciation in two centuries, and
can see the probability that the Eng
lishman of 500 years ago could not be
understood by the Englishmau of to
day. Ancient and modern Franch pre-
sent the same evidence of constant
change. But in the case of Latin and
Greek we are not dealing with the
changes Of five or six centuries, but Of
twenty or twenty-five. There is hard
w much doubt but that the Latin Of
Coriolanus would have been nearly, it
not quite, ineomprehensibie to the
Roman Of Constantine time. How
much more to the Roman Of today2
The important thing is that the
Latin pronunciation of the wLoleworld

New Woodmen Ruling.

Head Consul Talbot of the Modern

Owing to the unrest brought about
by the REIMBURSEMENT of the insurance
rates, and the controversy that has
developed, there have been many lap
camps or camp clerks made provisions
cafps or camp clerks made provisions
for carrying members who have lap
sed from oversight or carelessness
for a month or two and thus kept
down the number of lapses, but since
the new rate agitation this practice
has been discounted.
Both sides to the controversy are
making every effort to induce the
membership to stay in the society I'M
til after the referendum vote is taken
and the rate question disposed of,
and to this end the special dispense
ton has been ordered.
Under this ruling any member in
suspension for less than six months
may re-instate by paying the current
assessment and dues.-Fulton jour

Iowa Land Values.

There is no let up in the demand
for Iowa farm Ian 1.-THE good old
land that has made the state famous;
that is the best land on earth; that
never fails to produce bumper crop.
The price keeps pace with the de-
mand, too, and as the demand is
bound to increase, don't be surprised
if land values mount to a consider
able higher figure. If you want some
Iowa land, the best time to buy it is
right now, for the price will never
be lower. Typifying the stability of
Iowa land prices, is the report from
an auction sale held at Reinbeck last
week. A number of farms in Grundy
county were advertised to be sold at
auction. Grundy county land is the
finest on earth and of course the sale
attracted a big crowd-one of the
biggest crowds that ever assembled
in the town. The land went like
fried chicken at Methodist picnic.
Eighty acres unimproved, sold at
S145 an acre. A farm of three nun
dFed and sixty acres sold at $152;
another farm of two hundred and
sei ghty acres at $155 and so on. And
don t.you think that the buyers were
"soafed. They will be able to dis
pose of their holdings at an advance
of from twenty-five to fifty dollars an
acre in less than two years, and the
prospective purchasers will fall over
themselves to get the property. You
can't miss it even If you pay what
may see ma fancy price for Iowa soil.

sUND'Y HUNTERS FACE TROUBLE
Nimrods May Lose Licenses and be
Fined. Attorney Creates Stir
Among Alleged Violators.

Webster City, Iowa, Sept. g.
Does hunters license permit man
to hunt on Sunday?
If not, does Sunday hunting re-
woke the license?
A lot of men in Webster City want
to know, and the solution of the
problem may cost some of them their
licenses, to say nothing of fines. The
Iowa hunting season opened Sept. l,
which day also happened this year
to fall upon Sunday. On that day
Webster City hunters galore were
tramping lake, ponds and rivers here
abouts, looking for anything in the
game line.
Wesley Martin, a we'll known at
torney of this city, strongly opposed
to Sabbath desecration, has caused
a big commotion in the ranks of Sun
day hunters by calling the attention
of local officers and game wardens to
the conditions that prevailed here
abouts Sunday. Mr.. Martin claims a
hunters license does not permit of
Sunday hunting, and that it's use on
that day revokes it. Wholesale ac-
tivity is anticipated on the part of
game wardens. In support of his
contention, Mr.. Martin quotes from
section 5040 of the Iowa code, as fol-
lows:
IF any person be found on the
first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, engaged in carrying
firearms, dancing, hunting, shooting,
horse racing, etc., he shall be fined
not more than five dollars nor less
than one dollar and be imprisoned. I"
Mr. Martin holds that inasmuch as
this section clearly makes Sunday
hunting illegal, violation of it on the
part of hunter with a license for
feits the license in the same manner
as a pharmacist or saloonkeeper for
regarding it.

years a well known and highly es-
teemed business man of this city,

integrity, a good citizen and neigh
Dor, and a successful business man.
He enjoyed the esteem of all who
knew him, and the regret at his pas
sing is general. His wife and son,
Arthur, who survive him, have the
sympathy of the community in their
sorrow.
The remains were brought here

afternoon from the First Norw. Luth-
eran church, of which he was a val
ued member, Rev. l. B. Torrison Of

pole by the shock and fell to the
ground, when some little time after
wards he was discovered by w. H.
Gross and taken to his home. NJ
P. Moran, the local manager, was
notified, and Immediately went out
with the Bernatz auto truck, and
brought him to DEBORAH, still uncon-
scious when he started, but on the
way home he regained consciousness
and has gained slowly since then.
He went to Prairie du Chen yester-
day with Gust Westby, who some
time ago sustained a similar acct
dent, and they are being treated at
