LOCAL COMMENT

The boosters of Tama have voted to
accept free cement from the Lincoln
Highway association and build four
miles Of paved road on the national
pike 1t will behoove the boosters Of
Marshalltown to get busy now with
their project to pave the main roads
within the city and then extend the
Lincoln highway pavement into the
country.
Those in charge of the organized
charities movement are to be en-
couraged and urged to perfect their
plan at once. The season of great
est need among the destitute is upon
us andthere must be some organiza-
tion among the many who would like
to aid the needy. Unless there is some
centralized management for all charity
within the city the chronics will wax

ganzation we can easily take care OF
every deserving case in this city with
out a burden 10 anybody.
The Baptists have settled for their

LeGrand and Dunbar have CONSOLE

leaves the intellectual Green Noun

archaic country school system in spite
of its historic New England ancestry.
There was a time when farmers would
boycott a doctor who invaded the
highways with an automobile. Now
those same farmers have all bought
automobiles Likewise there was a
time when there was some doubt about
school consolidation but that time has
long since gone by. A local factory
has sold this summer 90 coaches to
consolidated school districts and fully
expects to sell 900 more next year.
The Green Mountain people should not
hold back in the matter of improving
their public school system.

 One of those boys up there, and they were good friends of mine too, told me that that face on the mountain was the devils face and I know it was too, for it had a long nose like the one in the picture book. He got there because oh, well, keep still and I'll tell you the story just as I heard it.

The Sleeping Giant

Before the days of the white man, there lived a chief whose name was Great Snake, who was a very brave chief indeed. But all beings at this time were not as noble as Great Snake, for some cowardly giants lived on the world and Dlundered all the country round them. As Great Snake, was rul- ing his peaceful tribe, he heard of the giants doings. The leading giant was Big Wolf, and hated Great Snake, because of the chiefs very goodness, so Great Snake de termined to conquer Big Wolf with the aid of his magic bracelet.
 So Great Snake set out to the giants country, called Alayaska, with only two companions. His voyage was a quiet one, but when he came to the giants land, his companions became so frightened when they saw Big Wolf, that they went back home, and left Great Snake to fight the giants alone, of whom there were twelve. He faced tn giants bravely, and touch ing bis mace bracelet, so terrific thunder storm arose that all the giants fled to the north pole, all except Big Wolf, who was too frightened to follow. Then Great Snake prepared to slay Big Wolf but being so kind, he again touched his bracelet and Big Wolf fell in- to a silent sleep. He was to sleep for ten thousand years. Big Wolf has slept beside the town of Skagway for five thousand years and will sleep there five thousand years more. So it was that Great Snake overcame Big Wolf, whom We call Face Mountain"

The Man of Stone

This is a legend of a powerful, merciless Indian chief, who became So arrogant on account of his victories oyer the other tribes, that all his enemies called him ! Chief Stony Heart" He had been ire quently warned by the Medicine Men of his tribe, that his cruelties might so offend the Great Monitor that a fearful retribution would surely come upon him, but the proud chief paid no attention to his wise men and continued in his cruelties. Finally the patience of the Great MOnitOu was exhausted, and as an example to the other chiefs of the various tribes, he ordered "StOny Heart" to be car ried to a high mountain near a place called Skagway. There he was turned into stone, and left with nothing but his stony face to be seen, and the mountain was named Face Mountain"
 His fate was a perpetual warning to the other tribes; for the Great MOnitou has never forgiven the wicked chief who will rest for ever upon the mountain, nothing but man of stone. And all these years he has been there with his stony face turned toward the blue heavens, the home of the Great MonitOu.

4 Legend of Face Mountain

Long ago, when only Indians live in Skagway there dwelt in one of the tribes, a young brave, who in spite Of his youth was the greatest warrior in the tribe. Indeed some Indians said he would soon be chief of the tribe. But he had his enemies, as every warrior has be he ever so great must have.
 At last one day q false brave who had pretended to be his friend finding the young brave intent up on the chase and the rest of the hunters several hundrd feet behind, fitted an arrow to the string and fired. But his aim was not good and crlv wounded the brave who re- turn5i an arrow with such good aim that the coward fell dead.
 Then the brave was carried with unseen hands toward the distant mountain tops. At tke same time Q voice was heard saying "When the great country is ill danger he will wake and save it, no matter into whose hands it has fallen. Such is his love for Lis country" 7" Then the brave disappeared.
 But the next morning on the mountain top, his face to the sky, his hands folded on his breast, lay the sleeping brave.
 Postscript-And it may be that if the var now raging in Europe, entangles the Great Country into it's reahes, the brave no longer young, will wake and deliver his country from peril.

Face Mountain

Thousands of years ago, no one knows just when, but no doubt be- fore there was such q place as Egypt, there lived in the country now known as Alaska, and near what is known as Skagway a great and mighty tribe of Indians, led by the most powerful chief, "Chief Many Faces" whose proves in battle and in peace was almost mir aculous. When, the storm cloud of war lowered over his tribe his face was stern and grim; but when the sun of peace and happiness shone on his tribe his face was wreathed in smiles.
 One day in battle this great and mighty chief was struck down and died shortly afterward. Great was the sorrow oF the tribe until "Chiet Know Before" the greatest pro phet of his time stood up and in a solemn voice said:
 Brother Chief Many Faces is no longer ore of us on this earth, but in the Happy Hunting Ground we shall meet him. Put sorrow not since, for thousands of years, 1 know not when or where, the face of Chief Mluy Faces" will be seen on this earth.
 So make a small image of his face in stone and mark under 1t everything l have said, for it to be passed down generation by gen eration until my prophecy comes true. The Indians did as they were told and that image was passed down from one to the oth- CT.
 The Indians gradually wandered from Skagway for hundreds of years but always keeping the image of stone with them. Then years lat CT thev 'drifted back toward Skag- way and great was their astonlsh- ment and almost fear when looking up they saw far above them mas sive face of stone, earth and snow The face was an exact reproduction of that small image they had; and that great face on the west side of skagway valley which tourists ad- mire, the work of God and the i'm

A Legend of Face Mountain

Once there lived a tribe of giants in Alaska, in the north. They had stolen a keg of magic wine from the gods. They then made young giantess sit and watch it. Once while she was asleep a god stole it back. The giants were so angry that they drove her from her home. To Skagway she wan dered and lay down to sleep. There the gods turnd hr to stone, and there she is to stay forever. We call her Face Mountain.
