EEL STOPPED GRIST MILL
When Taken Out and Pieced Togeth-
er Snake-Like Fish Measured
Seven Feet in Length.

The last issue of The News report
ed that an eel had ben caught at Oil
ver's mill that measured more than
three feet in length and Z Il inches
in circumference, AMI some of our
skeptical readers thought it was
''Whopper.''
But that was no fish story at all.
Some time ago the grist mill OF
Mr.. j. E. Waller, in the Pleasant Hill
community. suddenly stopped, and
an investigation showed that the
wheel in the mill race had become
clogged by monster eel that had
become entangled in it.
The pieces of the fish when taken
out of the wheel and laid in their
proper place showed that the eel was
seven feet in length.
This is not a fish tale, as the facts
are vouched for by Mr.. Waller.

alton Of the law has been confined 10
the teachers of Salt Lake City, although
there were provisions for the estab.
lishment Of retirement associations in
other places.
For some time there has been a
movement among the teachers of the
state looking to the extension of the
retirement plan so as to include every
teacher on the payroll in Utah. The
law provides that teacher after thir-
ty years of service, upon reaching the
age OF 90, or upon becoming incapaci-
tated, may retire on a pension pradu.
ated on a basis Of the average SALARY
received during the preceding five
years
The present law provides for a com.
mission of seven members. Under the
proposed new act the number of com.
mlssloners or directors Of the associa.
ton would be increased TO fourteen or
fifteen. Other changes from the pres.
ent law relating to withdrawal privil-
eges will also be included in the new
measure.
