Wouldn't this cause you to don

tendent A B. Lightfoot was much
chagrined this week. when he re-
ceived a notice from John Edwards
Bray, state superintendent of public
instruction, that his resignation had
been accepted. This is not all. The
communication also contained the in
formation that Mr.. Lightfoot's sue
cessor had been appointed. II your
commission permitted you to hold
that position for thirteen months
longer. wouldn't 1t jar you?
Mr.. Lightfoot declares that he will
continue to discharge the duties of
his Office until September 1, as school
trustees in years past have depended
upon him to provide teachers In the
respective districts under his juris-
diction. He naturally takes offense
at the attempt to summarily dismiss
him without notice. and declares that
If his successor attempts to oust him,
1t will be necessary for him to insti-
tute legal proceedings to accomplish
the desired purpose.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Bray
for accepting his resignation is that
Mr.. Lightfoot has accepted the posi-
ton as principal of the county high
school. but this assignment will not
demand his attention until Septem-
ber l. There is nothing to hinder
him from discharging the duties oi

Stark. secretary of the Salt Lake
Commercial club. will arrive in Ely
this evening.
The object of the trip is to deter

repair work or new construction over
the Lincoln highway, and investigate
the conditions of the road between
Salt Lake and Ely south of the lake
in order that stories regarding the
fact that 1t is not In first class con-
dition may be contradicted
Along the route they will ascertain

The efforts on the part of the Ro-
tary club to have the Utah branch
of the Lincoln highway pass through
Salt Lake and around the southern
end of Great Salt Lake and thence
TO Ely will receive the support of
Governor Spry of Utah. The COM
mittee that appeared before the chief
executive of Utah showed that Ogden
had failed to live up to its agree
ment to divert the traffic to Salt
Lake. but is making every effort to
send the travellers away from the
Utah capital.
IL Is claimed that statistics for the
year will demonstrate that 500 auto
parties have been induced by people
In Ogden TO take the northern route,
while only $50 tourists have utilized
the southern route. which leads
through Ely.
Governor Spry has repudiated a
statement which is pnrported to have
been made that be has aided Ogden
in sendlng traffic around the
northern route. He declared that
whoever was responsible for the
statement was either misinformed or
slllfully misrepresented the facts.
The action of the Ogden people
las caused the Commercial club in
Sal Lake to make a stronger effort
than ever to induce tourists to pass
through the capital city. The mem
bers are going after the work in a
business-like way from now on and
will bend every energy to encourage
travel along the southern route.

Birds That Eiaht EauIes.

In Foua, one of the Shetland is
lands. the natives make a business OF
rearing skau gulls in order to rid the
islands of eagles that congregate there
and commit many depredations. The
magnificent red sandstone cliffs that
skirt the northwestern coast became
a favorite haunt Of the eagles. and in
this inaccessible spot they increased so
rapidly that they became a terror to
the farmers and fishermen who dwell
on this isolated spot The skau gulls
are also strong and fierce and the in
veterate foes of the eagle. In battle
the gulls are nearly always victorious,
and so the inhabitants of Foula hit
upon the novel plan of feeding and
caring for the skHu gulls, which,
though formidable to their feathered
enemies. are very peaceful and docile
when brought in contact with man.

Applegrowers in the United States
will be prevented from shipping much
of their product to Europe this fall be-
cause of the uncertainty of transporta-
tion to nearly all the countries that
usually are large purchasers, which is
most unfortunate for them. But even
though they were to be able to ship the
apples to Europe they would be met with
such low prices as to be discouraged, in
asmuch as the apple growing countries
of that continent have had big yield
this year and prices have been knocked
down accordingly. In some places on
the British Isles apples will go to waste
in large quantities, so the report has it,
the loss being estimated at hundreds of
tons of the fruit, Therefore, in view of

UTAR'S NATURAL BRIDGE.
The Secret Of Its Origin Somewhat
Puzzles the Scientists.

The Secret Of Its Origin Somewhat
Puzzles the Scientists.
What is thought to be the largest
natural bridge in the world is that of
southwestern Utah. known as the
George natural bridge The total length
of this great work of nature is about
200 feet; us width. e.. the roadway"
is about thirty-five feet; the span in
the clear is about ninety feet At the
base there flows a small water course
which, during the hot months, dwin-
dies to a mere rivulet.
Scientists are somewhat perplexed to
explain the means by which nature
produced this bridge. 1t is thought
hardly possible that it could have been
created by water erosion, unless, as
was most unlikely, there was a very
large and swift stream flowing at the
point where the brook now runs.
Some authorities are inclined to the
view that this bridge was due to vol
canic action, occurring at some remote
geological period.
Although long known to the Indians,
it was not until about fifteen years ago
that white men became familiar with
the sight Of it Mining prospectors
were the first of the whites to see it,
since it is located in the heart of a
very rugged and inaccessible region.
The span is composed of a dark
brown sandstone of unusual hardness,
and the thickness of the span is TWEEN
ty feet or more.
Engineers who have examined this
bridge assert that it is perfectly safe
and secure and that it is fully capable
of sustaining an immense weight, espe-
cially as the span is free from flaws or
seams Washington Star.
