voracity. The ground over which they
had passed looked as if scerched by fire.
Men, women and children tried to fight
the foe. some went through the fields
killing the crickets but crushed much of
the tender grain; some dug bitches
around the farms turned water into the
trenches to drown the crickets. Others
beat them back with clubs and brooms
or burned them in fires, still they pre-
vailed 1t looked as if there would be
no harvest upon which life itself seemed
to depend They were rescued as they
believe by miracle. A greater miracle
than is said to have saved Rome when
the cackling of geese aroused the slum-
boring city in time to beat back the
invading Gauls.
In the midst of the work of ruin whe 1t
seemed as if nothing could stay the de-
struction, great fiocks of gulls appeared
filling the air with their white wings
and plaintiff cries. They settled down
on the half ruined fields. At first i,
looked as if they came to help the crick,
ct desttoy. All day long they gorged
| themselves on the crickets until the
crickets were devoured
The birds then returned to the Lake
Islands leaving the settlers to rejoice
over their deliverance. A season OF
scarcity followed but no fatal famine
The gull is still to to be seen in the vi
cinity of the Great Salt Lake and the
wanton killing of these birds was made
punishableby law.

No visit n is admitted into the Temple

he most devoted Mormons may enter.
1t is to the Mormon church as SolomOn's
Temple was to the Je@s-a holy
place devoted to sacred ordi-
naaces. They perform mar
riages and baptisms there
some of which are for the dead. Those
married in the Temple are
married for al eternity. Thos g
married elsewhere are married
for this life only. The M or
mons claim that never more
than two per cent of theh church be
ieved in plural marriages.
They were forty years building this
temple at the coat of four million dol
lars. 1t is a grand building. Our guide
said it had been told that the Taber
nacle had been built without using

as few nails were used as possible In
the construction of the building A

At thu meeti Y of the board of su-
pervisors in Baraboo this month
there was started a move
ment that may mean much
in the next few years for the improve
ment of earth roads in Sank County.
The chairman of the board invited W..
Fl. Babcock. county Y. NJ G. A. Sec
re- ary to tell the board what happened
in Rock County last summer where
George S. Parker. the fountain pen
manufacturer of GAINESVILLE and l.. A.
Markham, the Rock county Y. M. c.
A. man got sixty boys in nine town
ships into contest in dragging roads.
| The supervisors took to the idea at
once and about half OF them
held special session for an hour one
morning to go into details. The result
was that committee was appointed
consisting of supervisors Schenk OF
Washington. Mears of Bear Creek and
Pearson of LaValle to promote such a
contest in Sank County in any town
ship where the chairman wants to take
it up.
The plan is to7get as many older boys
as possible.whoalive along the roads
that need dragging, and have the town
chairman assign to each boy about a
mile of road which will be graded first,
and then he will:be expected to drag it
as often as itEneeus itkand be paid for
t at the usual rates, so long as the
cost does not exceed n.dollars to each
boy. The sections of road will be about
mile to boy, so that if he cares for
his section we'll it willEbe very cheap
road maintenance for the towns and
yet reasonably paySfor the boys.
AS conditions vary so much in each
township, the contest will not be on a |
county basis, bat rather by towns. Nu
merous auto owners in Rock county
have offered to help with prize fund,
80 that good prizescan.be offered to
the boy in each township who makes
the most Improvement in his piece of
road during the season. The judges
will be the chairmen or someone ap-
pointed by them.
Mr.. Babcock is acting as secretary
to the committee, to help them get 10
to touch with the boys. The committee
infanda RI 0ot On Yoonv hove % pOoeihlA
to volunteer for this work and hand
their names to the chairman of the vari
GUS towns; then it will be "up to them"
to make use of the boys if they will.
No doubt the greatest gain of all will
be in having a few score of young
Good Road" boosters at the end of
the season, who will want to keep up
the good work next year.

Supt. Hinton Reports
Modification Of The
School Bill.

1t is learned from Washington
that Supt. Hinton has reported a
modification of the Steenerson
bill which proposes to take away
the celebration grounds of this
village.
Supt. Hinton's report proposes
the sale of the grounds to the
highest bidder for cash at com
petitive sale. and it is learned that
the Indian office will favor this.
it is an absurd proposition to
sell tweaty acres of land for q
school building when one acre
would be sufficient. The scheme
is no doubt apparent to everyone,
and Mr.. Hinton's report is un-
doubte1ly favorable to the best in
terests of all concerned, excepting,
possibly, the school and its sever
al supporters.

ANDERSON AGAINST

for he will have pitted against him
Mr.. Anderson of Otter Tail Coun-
ty.
Ordinarily there has been 40 op.
position to Mr.. Steenerson here
upon this reservation, but we pre-.
dict that it will be different this
year, for he has not stood by the
wishes of the Indians but once
since he has been in Congress, and
this was when he secured the pas
sage of the additional allotment
act after Frank Eddy has secured
favorable report on it, and it
only remained for Mr.. Steenecson
to call it up.
Year after year the Cbippewas
have voted almost solidly for Mr..
Steenerson and have to very
large measure wiped out their OBJ
legations to him, especially as he
has repeatedly done enough since
against their interests to cause
them to become more or less pre-
JUDGED against him.
Last week he had sharp words
in Congress with Representative
| Chipperfeld, which almost result
ed in blows, because the latter un-
dertook to protect the rights OF
the Red Lake Chippewas against
the Nelson amendment to the In
dian appropriation bill.
Mr.. Steenerson owes his first
election to the Chippewas, but he
! has not always stood by their in
