The Care of Juveniles

Recently there has been much agitation
respecting the work of the juvenile officers in
Cedar City and IL can not be gainsaid that some
action should be taken to arouse those charged
with the care and control Of juveniles to fuller
sense of the opportunities that surround them
for the exercise of their official duties.
The commercial club has taken the matter
up in earnest and in the near future will make
the question a special order at one Of its meet
ings, When the opportunity arrives, every worthy
parent should lend encouragement to the move
ment to the end that delinquent children be
placed under proper restrictions where their
future may be cared for and their lives saved to
the community.

SIR WALTER RALEeHs PIPE GREATEST OF CANAL LOCKS

1t will be interesting enough from a

Chicago Tribune Don't make the mis-

lock in the world measures 1850 by

% feet
This rev canal, which parallels the
old 500" canal from Lake Superior,
lies to the north of the old st. Mary's
falls canal, which had its origin when
the state of Michigan dug the first
500 canal in 1855. In the early 7O's
traffic through the Michigan built
canal had Increased to such an extent
that the federal government took 1t
over and in 1881 had completed its en-
largement to 100 feet width and con-
structing the Wenzell lock-still in
use-515 feet long and 80 feet wide,
with depth of 16 feet at low water. On
the Canadian side are the Dominion

My next plan was most successful
one. Attached to the sheep-barn a
sheppard was constructed of boards,
leaving no cracks on the outside
fences. The partition between this
yard and another adjoining was a
board fence with cracks not more than
three inches wide. On the outside of
the sheppard were dog-guards which
prevented a dog from jumping over
into the yard. The partition fence al
SO had guards SO that dog could not
jump over from the adjoining lot This
yard also had the guard on it. but they
were on the inside, SO that once he
had gained access a dog could not get
out The fence inclosing this yard
was constructed of woven wire, with
the dog-guard made of smooth wire.

into the contiguous lot to get into the
sheppard; but when they had gained
entrance to this Enclosure they had

Wherever there are dogs and sheep

privilege of protecting my sheep in
my own way. My first precaution was
to provide plenty of bells-as many as
one to every six or ten animals.
When the sheep were unduly excited
the bells made such a noise that they
would brighten some dogs, and would
at least arouse sleepers to look after
the flock. Finding that this did not
work satisfactorily, however, l hung
lanterns out near the sheppard, but
the dogs became SO bold they paid no
attention to the lights or to the noises.
