Wyomino's Hiah Mountains.


Wyoming has nine mountains ex-
ceeding 10000 feet in height and OF
these three closely approach the IA
600 foot mark. according to the United
States geological survey. They are
Gannett peak, 1875 feet; Grand Te-
ton, 1871 feet; and Fremont peak,
1870 feet. Cloud peak, one of the
most beautiful mountains in the state,
Is, 165 feet above sea level. Besides
these mountains, Wyoming has 81
other named peaks upwards of 1900
feet in height and some 20 unnamed
mountains which exceed that altitude.
An interesting story might be writ
ten of the thousands of lofty unnamed
mountain peaks of the west which are
nearly double the height of the very
highest mountains in the ell, re Ap-
palachian mountain system - the
eastern portion of the country. Colo
RADIO alone has dozens of mountains
without name which are more than
double the height of our most lofty
eastern mountain.

career and ambition
"She wanted TO satisfy her own hon

ed to publish a compromising letter
written by her present husband and
addressed to her while she was still her
former husbands wife. But her name
had no been mentioned. 1t was not

sage was addressed to a woman. BY
taking the law in her own hands she
publicly admitted what was only being
murmured. and which it was easier to
ignore than the printed denunciations

Nine. Caillaux has failed in her
plan from whatever side one may look
at it. She must now be held on the
charge of murder, and the brilliant fu-
ture that both she and her husband
were aiming at is irreparably removed
out OF their reach.
For Nine. Caiilaux is not only
handsome woman; she is, above all,
ambitious. And every one of her steps

ing out of the alleged half million dol
lar embezzlement of Dougherty cover
ing a period OF nearly twenty years,
discovery of which several years ago
resulted I'm the closing OF the Peoria
National bank. and the disruption OF
the school system. and later the con-
viction OF Dougherty and his confine-
ment in the state penitentiary at Jol-
let.
He served FIVE years and was par
doned. but proceedings again to con-
Wet him were at once started and re-
suited after much legal sl1irmishing in
the calling OF his trial yesterday
Eight jurors were selected for the
trial yesterday. they having been pick

we're passed on by attorneys. II IS ex-
pected that the four other jurors will
be picked today.

counsel and appeared confident he
would prove his innocence of the
charge against him
Over 100 Counts in Indictment.
There IS over a hundred counts in
the Indictment on which he is being
tried. and the state believes it can
prove one or more OF them.

venue was taken from the Peoria
courts. is held on a bond OF $500 from

Nine. Caiilaux on the stand testified
| that she was certain Calmette intend
ed to publish two letters written by
Caillaux to her before their marriage.
Isadore de Lara, the English COM
poser. who is one of the members of
the Princess of Monaco's set, testified
that although he was an intimate
friend of the dead editor, he felt it
was his duty to come forward and tell
the whole truth. which was altogether
favorable to Nine. Caillaux. He said
Calmette's activity against the Call
lauxs and his determination to ruin
them was relentless.
An interesting commentary on the
Caiilaux murder case has been made
by the former wife of a French jour
nalist. woman who is acquainted
with the figures in this city's latest
tragedy. Speaking of Nine. Caillaux,
she says:
However great her wrongs may be,

automatic revolver. which she did not

President John p. White So Charges
and Urges Men to Avoid En-
dangering Their Union.

Peoria, ILL.,, March 31.-The Illinois
miners will remain at work until q
| new scale of wages is fixed or until
the referendum vote of the union &C,
cepts or rejec.s the plan outlined by
the policy committee OF the national
organization.
This was decided at the meeting OF
the Illinois district, United Mine
Workers of America, yesterday after
noon, following an address by John
p. White, president Of the United
Mine Workers of America.
A resolution to have the miners OF
the state stop work until q new con-
tract was negotiated was introduced
by David Wilson of O'Fallon, Ill. The
present contract, known as the "Cleve-
land contract" expires April 1.
President Pope overruled the reso-
luton on the ground that the national
COW ention had ruled that the central
competitive field should continue in
operation until an agreement had
been reached.
No Fight Over Resolution.
A howl OF protest greeted an appeal
by a delegate from the ruling of the
had been appointed the resolution was
railroaded out of the convention be-
fore Wilson had a chance to support
it CT President Pope was allowed to
talk On his ruling.
John p. White, in his address, plead
ell for an Endorsement from Illinois Of
tie rational policy with reference to
remaining at work until an agreement
had been made. He said a general
str ike in eastern states would mean
al unconditional surrender of the
strikers in Colorado and Vancouver.
add cited the outcome of these strikes
as an index to future successes of the
union in unorganized fields. He look
ed upon organization of nonunion
fields as the primary work of the un-
ion at the present time.
Leader Accuses Operators.
The national president accused the
operators of pulling all their wires in
an endeavor to effect a strike so that
the national organization might not
be able to meet the demands now
placed upon it by the several strikes
in the United States.
He said that a general strike now
would break the backbone of the I'M
ion, and that 1t might as well quit try
ing to expand it's influence if such a
strike was called in the face of pres
ent disagreements.

AN EXHIBITION 0F
 FOLK DANCING

Within the last few years the folk dance has come to hold an important place in our schools. It had its be- ginning in this country in 1903 when
 Dr. Gulick introduced it into the
 Public School Athletic League in New York city. Since that time 1t has become part of practically
 every course in physical training The value of the folk dance is two fold It is hard to imagine q
 more delightful and beneficial form Of exercise The music and move ment of the folk dance appeal to the pupils and they enter into the work with wonderful zest and spirit. As
 dramatic form of art. the folk dance offers great possibilities. The
 temperament the character and the
 customs of all people are clearly ex-
 pressed in their dance.
 The girls of the physical training department of the Phoenix Union high school will give an exhibition in
 folk dancing on May at o'clock.
 The spacious lawn surrounding the
 high school buildings offers an ideal spot for ut-of door dancing The
 girls will dress in costumes to rep
 resent the various nations. The bon
 nie highland lassies will appear in
 Scotch plaid the Swedish peasant girls will be dressed in gaily colored frocks with black girdles and snowy caps and aprons. A group of Eng fish flower girls will wind the May pole.
 The public is most cordially in vited to attend this first folk danc- ing festival of the Phoenix Union High school.

 Mrs. Robert Fromm. auditor.
 The Harmony club held it's annual election of officers yesterday. Mrs. T. M Elder, who has served as president for eight years, was again chosen to head the organization. The clubs phenomenal growth in every branch has been due largely to the indefatisable efforts of Mrs. Elder. who had no desire to preside another season. The club. however, refused to consider anyone save Mrs. Elder and she had the honor of being the unanimous choice of the members.
 At the last meeting of the year, Wednesday May 12, the president will review the years work and out line future policy.
 Mrs. Louis MelcZer. formerly of Phoenix. who now resides in Los Angeles. was made honorary member of the club yesterday in appreciation
