Insurance Men Here

George F. Price, general mana
ger of the Inter Mountain Life
Insurance Co., and also Agency
Director j. T. Reese were pleas
ant callers at the HERALD office
Wednesday. They report busi-
ness for their company better
and much more extensive this
year than ever before. There is
a growing and increased feeling
of satisfaction among all the
policy holders, several of them
having already enlarged the size
of their policies.
Mr.. Price informed us that
the Inter Mountain secured over
So, 600, 900 insurance in this state
last year, and that 81, 750, 600
was actually issued in eleven
months, December's business not
being counted. The above pro-
duction was greater than that
secured by any other company
operating in the state. This
years business so far is showing
a very marked increase over that
of last year, both in the number
of policies and size of same.
While here Mr.. Price appoint
ed Joseph S. Fish as the Comp
any's representative in this sec
ton of the state. Mr.. Reese
will spend some time working

NOS WIN OUT
BY A FEW VOTES

The election last Saturday as
to whether or not Snowflake
should be an incorporated town
was won by the Nos" by the
score of 79 to II. Many ladies
graced the polls and voted.
Up to within a week or so of the
election it was thought incorpor-
alton would carry, but the tide
gradually, slowly turned in favor
Of the "anti's." Many seemed to
think that the time was not ripe
for such action; that the town
had not, at present, sufficient free
holders to meet the demands, tax
es, etc., that would accrue un-
der a municipal government.
While the HERALD was heartily
in favor of incorporation, and is
for everything which we think
would be beneficial to the town,
yet we humbly bow to the will of
the voters, and hope that Snow
flake, if not Incorporated, will
forge to the front with no obsta-
cles whatever to stay her prog
reSS.

Lecture and Entertainment

Prof. B. Dorr Herrold of California
gave a lecture Thursday evening in
Social Hall on the "Life of Joseph
Smith, the Prophet and Seer, and the
Birth of Mormonism, etc., b e n g
greeted by a large audience. He also
exhibited lantern slides of Joseph
Smiths old home, the pioneers journey
ing by OK team to Utah, picture Of
Brigham Young, his monument in Salt
Lake, and many views of buildings in
that city. The slides were followed by
moving pictures, giving scenes in the
time of Christ's childhood, the cruci-
fixion, resurrection, and many others,
winding up with comic, Caught in
Their Own Trap" and 'The Cowgirl
Kidnapped. - Prof. Herrold claims to
have been a Methodist minister for
over twenty years and was sent to Utah
to convert" the Mormons, but, in turn,
was converted in their belief. The
lecture was entertaining and enlight-
ening and the slides and "movies"
away beyond the average you see now
adays. He expects to return to Snow
flake the 22d of next month, at which
time he will give another entertainment.

Child Has Narrow
Escape From Drowning

What would certainly have
proved a fatal accident occurred
in Snowflake Monday afternoon,
May 18, a few minutes before
one o'clock, when the thirteen
months ol d girl, Marylynn,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
L. Henderson, fell into tub of
water that had been drawn from
a well preparatory to wash-day.
1t is presumed that the little
girl had been playing around the
tub and was trying to reach for
little green twigs and parts of
blossoms which had fallen into
the water from an over-spreading
apple tree, when she lost her
balance and fell into the water.
1t is not known just how long
the little girl had been in the
water when found, but was ap-
proximately eight minutes.
Edna May, the five year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Closkey, who live in the same lot
with the Hendersons, proved her
self a very young and thoughtful
heroine, for she was the one
that first told her parents, who
were eating dinner at the time of
the accident, but not until she
had pulled the drowning child
out of the water and laid her be-
side the tub. Little Edna May
afterwards told her parents that
when she found the little girl,
her feet were sticking up in the
air and leaning against the side
of the tub. When she first came
into the house and gave the
alarm she said: Mamma, Mary
lynn has drowned" and then,
child-like, began to cry, after
having relieved herself of telling
of the accident.
1t is wonderful to think how
much presence of mind little
Edna May exercised in this case,
for even great many older per-
sons would have become excited
and would not have thought just
what was the first thing to do,
and it is very likely the drown
ing child could not have been re-
suscitated had she not been
pulled out of the water just at
that time. Probably one or two
minutes longer and she would
have been lost beyond recall, and
it is nothing short of a miracle
to realize that the child is living
and on the road to complete re-
covery,
Everything consistent with the
emergency of the case was done
for the lifeless child, and after
half hour of unceasing hard
work the little one began to
show signs of life, and by the
end of an hour and a half she
was able to recognize her par
ents and had recovered some
what from her awful experience.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson de-
sire to extend their heartfelt
thanks and gratitude to all the
good neighbors of Snowflake who
were so very kind and sympa-
thetic in lending a helping hand
and heart during this accident.

he was farmer from Winnipeg, Can.
We strolled around and had a good

RAILWAY CHANCES
IN OTHER AMERICAS
Transport Problems of Southern
Continents Invite Study by En-.
gineer and Capitalist

New York-The opportunities and
problems that lie before American
capitalists and engineers in the de-
velopment of railway transportation
in South and Central America, are
made clear in report which F. LAWS,
a consulting engineer, has just made
to the American Society of Civil En-
gineers. Mr.. LAWS made an exhaustive
study of railway conditions and pos
sibilities in those countries.
Railroad facilities of South and Gen.
trail America are utterly inadequate,
Mr.. LAWS says, to meet the changed
conditions, which will place the
United States in the position of an
importer of food supplies from those
countries and of seeker for markets
for its manufactured products. The
principal problem. he says, is an en-.
cheering one, which is due to the
fact that there are nine different
gauges in the $4,000 miles of railway
trackage in South and Central Amer.

TRACES ANCESTRY
TO A BRITISH KING
Man in London Workhouse
Claims He is Descendant
of George ii.
Grandson of Princess Of cumberIand
Demands Rights After Record
of Misfortune.

London-The discovery in Lon
don workhouse of a man who asserts
he is a descendant of George ii has
revived interest in one OF the roman
ces of the royal family. The clesW-
ant is a man of about so years of->se,
named Augustus West, who has late
ly become an inmate OF the Wands:
worth infirmary
West says he is grandson OF Nine.
Lavinia Ryves, who said she was
Princess Lavinia of Cumberland.
West has clear recollection OF the
death of Princess Lavinia In 1871. for
he was then articled to a solicitor,
but subsequently he took command OF
his fathers publishing business in
st. Martin's-le-G Grand. Fortune. how
ever, did not smile on him, and event.
ually he was driven to a registry
Office business in North London, and
afterward at Ealing and then az BAL
ham. The death of his wife was the
last affliction, and he soon sought re-
fuge in the workhouse.
The Cumberland claim was first
made in 1917, when Mrs. Olive
Serras alleged that she was the
daughter of Henry, Duke of Cumber!
land, brother of George I'LL Her al
legation was that her mother was the
daughter of the Rev. DR.. Wilmot
and that she was secretly married to
the Duke of Cumberland in 1857.
Mrs. Series stated that she was
brought up as a child of Robert Will
mot of Warwick, house painter, and
subsequently she married Dominic
Series, the famous marine painter,
but separated from him. Later she
was rechristened at Islington and was
received at the Guildhall on the days
reserved for royalty. The question
was raised in the House of Commons.
but the Government did not admit her
claims and she died in 1854.
She left a daughter, Lavinia, who
married a portrait painter naIaed
Ryves. This lady, who is the grand
mother of West, called herself Prin-
cess Lavinia of Cumberland and
Duchess of Lancaster, and in 1858 APP
pealed to Queen Victoria and supper
ted her claim with number of docu-
ments. Subsequently there was con-
siderable litigation and some men
urged the genuineness of her case
and of the documents which she adj
duced. She died at Haverstock Hill
