Ever ceased the fierce longing
For some new and wild adventure,
So they settled in the valley
Ilewing homes from out the forests.
Logs they cut to build their cabins,
Roofs they made of pine and cedar,
Floors they split from ancient fir
tree,
Flues they built of stones and NOR
tar.
Rails they split from forest giants,
Hauled them on their prairie schoon-
ers,
Builded fences high and mighty
Round the sod so newly broken.
Roads they graded in the valley,
Builded bridges DER the rivers,
Builded mills by rushing waters,
Builded schools for all their chill
dren.
And for years they dwelt in comfort,
In the vale of peace and plenty,
In the valley in the mountains,
In the counterpart of Heaven.
Many years have come and vanished
Since the first man trod this valley
Cut the ancient stately fir tree,
Broke the sod of unknown ages.
And the Reaper mas been busy.
He has thinned the ranks among us
He has garnered up the harvest
To the land of the Hereafter.
Zone by one the landmarks falling
Without sound and without murmur
Leaving none to tell the story
OF the days so long departed!)
But now we, their sturdy children,
Tell the stories of their valor,
Tell them to the passing stranger,
Tell them to our little children.
So that in the coming ages,
Dwellers in this little valley
May around each glowing hearth
stone
Tell the stories of their courage.
Thus by precept and example,
BY their wisdom and their courage,
They have guided and instructed
Many future generations.
Now, with thoughts so full of yearn-
ing
For each soul who dwelt before us,
For each man who toiled and suf-
fered,
For each one who worked and wor-
ried,
In our hearts we hold Thanksgiving,
Sing again their noble praises,
Hoping, wishing we may meet them
In the land of the Hereafter.

FROM WOOD.GOD TO MERMAID.

A Message via Rogue River.
Limpid river, turbid river, unique
river,
Your name is Rogue for you purloin
the soul.
Take my mermaid love token at
her home in Hellgoland,
In the sea-cliffs where the breakers
roll.
It's the breath of the pine and ten
drills that twine
And cedar and wild flowers and
fern,

As she hung from the branch of q
lofty tree,
I'm not that poor rose so pale and
so low,
Growing on mere briar in the gar
den below.
How far I'm above her, way up
here so high,
And noticed by all on the street who
pass by,
While the rose on the briar, so pale
and remote,
Is too low for anybody at all to take
note"
But before the great sun had dipped
that night in the sea,
A boy came along and climbed up the
tree,
And into his basket carelessly flung
The naughty red apple, the very first
one.
She was taken home to desolate
place
And with eleven of her companions
was readily placed
Into an even so close and so hot
That all else by her was readily for
got,
But that she for her folly and pride
while living
Was only a baked apple to be served
for Thanksgiving.
Well, the rose?
Why, the rose so modest and sweet
was bought
BY lady who passed on the street,
Whose daughter that evening a bride
was arrayed,
And the rose was purchased, and a
half sovereign paid.
The rose so sweet, 80 shy and so
white,
Was worn by bride on that Thanks
giving night.

NEW COUNTY ROAD
LEHi TO MOSIDA

The county commissioners and
county road supervisor spent a day
this week examining the road from
Lehi TO Mosida, and after going over
the situation carefully decided TO
change from its present location and
follow the bank OF the irrigation
canal from Schneider's Hill to the
Mendenhall ranch.
Last year the Mosida people graded
several miles of road from Mosida
north, and the county graded four
miles running directly south from the
Cedar Fort road. Several culyerts
were put in the washes north and
south from Pelican Point. BY making
the improvements above referred to
the county will have a good automo-
bile road from Lehi to Mosida and
around the lake. There will then be
no more pleasant ride than one
around Lehi lake, distance Of about
80 or 90 miles.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
WILL HAVE AUTO

The Lehi fire department with
commendable energy has been work
ing for an auto truck to add TO its
equipment, and make the department
more efficient. At first they met
With but scant encouragement, but
after persistent efforts the auto now
seems assured. II will cost about
$500. OF this amount the Utah-ldaho
Sugar company has promised $500
and local merchants and individuals
will probably raise another Sloo'
some will probably be raised in big
dance. and the city will make up the
balance.
BY having an auto truck Mandy
there will be no delay in reaching Il
fire and occasionally the cost OF the
truck may be thus saved in single
fire. Every one should boost for the
auto truck. The boys deserve IT, ana
II will prove to be a mighty good IN
vestment,

MANY LEH| MEN
GET SUGAR Jobs
Building Of Three New Sugar Fac.
tories Draw Heavily on Lehi Resi-.
dents for Important Positions.

Probably no other city in America
has furnished so many sugar men for
factory help, office help and field ex-
perts as has Lehi. In almost every
sugar factory in Utah, Idaho and Col
orado you may find from one to a
dozen Lehi men. The building of
three new sugar factories this year
means another big draft.
Among those already scheduled for
changes are at Spanish Fork: Robert
l.. Howard, superintendent; Ira Tay-
lor and Frank Hanson, foremen: N.
p. Sorenson. head chemist; T. r.
Cutler Jr.. master mechanic; Mosiah
Evans, cashier; Charles Taylor and
several other Lehi men will fill other
positions.
Arthur Livingstone goes to Elsinore
as cashier and Horace Woofinden
goes to Brigham to fill a similar po-
sition.
Brig Smoot goes to West Jordan as
superintendent and +. NJ. Olson and
William c. Thomas as foremen ;
James Hanson, sugar boiler; Arthur
Webb. head chemist.
Charles Edwards will go to Brig
ham as superintendent and will take
most of his help from Garland and
Sugar City.
John r. Bone will have charge OF
the cutting station at Pleasant Grove
Harry Stoker will be head chemist
at the Lehi factory. with Virgil Coates
as his assistant. These are only q
part of the changes to be made.

WILL MAKE CATSUP

George Cross, representing an
Eastern machinery concern, was in
Lehi Saturday, and took the local can
ming company's order for machinery
with which to prepare and put up
catspp. Catsup is Il by product from
every tomato factory, and is usually
from 90 to 25 per cent OF the factory s
output Last year, many wagonloads
of material that would make first
class catsup was fed to the hogs and
given to the farmers for hauling 1t
away.
Mr.. u. A. Callahan OF the Goeghan
Brokerage Co. was I'm Lehi Tuesday,
and took the company's order for u
half million cans with which to put
up tomatoes and oatsup.
A majority of the directors told Mr.,
Cross that they were in favor of the
of catsup, but the order
was given subject TO confirmation by
a formal meeting of the board of di-
rectors.

A VISIT TO OHIO EXPERIMENT
STATION
STATION AT WOOSTER

The best time TO see the Ohio Sta
tion is early in the summer when
nature is at her best. On the morn
ing of June %, a party of eight, in
GLIDING myself, took passage in an
automobile for the Wooster Expert
ment Station.
Among the party was a dapper
title man whose voice and coun-
tenance betrayed a considerable
fund Of comedy and humor. 'Shem,'
as he was called, was a witty bach
elor who soon proved himself the
leading spirit of the party. He was
invited to take a seat in the rear OF
the car between two wOmen-an in
vitation which he gladly accepted.
Then the fun began, but "Shem"
was equal TO the occasion. II was
freely predicted that the ride would
kill him, but at the end of the trip,
it was apparent that "Shem" was
far from the dying state.
On reaching the station, the auto
mobile halted before the door of the
Administration Building. This
stands on an eminence overlooking
the farm of some 500 acres. One of
the station men quickly escorted us
through the flower gardens about
some of the buildings close by. Then
excusing himself we were left TO
shift for ourselves. II was a special
day for instruction in the poultry
department. Groups OF men and wo-
men were assembling before the lee
ture tent and by noon the grounds
were thronged with visitors. Not
being particularly interested in
poultry, | did not give very close
attention TO the speakers. Their
leading themes were, Marketing Of
Eggs" and Cooperation
The different crops at the farm
were seen in reaping condition as
was intended. The land is general
