WILDCAT IN STORY COUNTY.
Animal Of the jungle Appears in lows
and Gets His Finish.

Story City. Jan. Matt Oswald shot
and killed real wildcat on the Os-
vald farm. Ave miles west OF town the
other day. In order to prove that as
sertion he brought II to town and ex-
hibited 1t for several hours to those
who know wild cat when they sss
one.
Mr.. Oswald was out hunting for
rabbits, when lie spied something lyins
curied up In clump Of weeds. At
first he thought 1t was bunch Ut
cloth which the cyclone last spring
had carried to the place. As he thought
he detected a slight movement In the
mass he called to It, when, 10 and be-
hold. there rose up before him an ex-
ccedingly angry cat, with hair on end
and splitting 70 beat the band. Oswald
lost no time In trying to figure what
ne was up against, but let fly with his
trusty rifle. catching the critter squares
~ in one eye and killing him almost
instantly.
Tho animal proved to be what is
popularity known as an American Wild
cat. Strictly speaking 1t was a spe-
cimen of the common lynx, which In
some strange manner had drifted from
its habitat in the woods of northern
Minnesota.
Nj. oswald intends to skin the lynx
he shot and turn the hide into hne
rug or something, as a memento OF his
rare encounter.

DIFFER. OVER ORIGIN OF DOG
Whether All kiWts Mad . Common
Ancestor Has lsNO Been . Mat.
ter ~ Dispute.

The ancestry Of the dog has been
the occasion of much controversy. &C
cordlng to Leo =. Crandall's book,
"Pets." Many nnturalists have con-
sidercd that Il Is descended from Q
single ancestor, such rs the common
wolf Of Europe. Darwin, however.
lenns toward the theory Of multiple
origin. and advances much convincing
proof In support Of his belief. II Is
widely known that many savage tribes
have dogs. which appear to be simply
half-tnmed representatives Of the par
ticuiar wild doglike animals inhsbitins
the same regions.
The dogs Of the American plains In
dams closely resemble the small prai'
re wolf or coyote: the husky Of the
north country Is plainly not far re-
moved from the gray wolf; the Ger
man sheep dog and the Samoyede are
striking,y wolflikc In appearance,
Whether orr present dogs are the re-
suit Of crossing these many simple
derivatives OF wolves and jackals
among themselves. or whether there
was an original ancestral dog, now cx'
tinct. with which the blood OF other
species has BECOME mingled, We have
not yet been able TO determine, though
20 many primordial animal remains
have come to light.
According to st. George Mivart, the
dingo Is the only wild dog still exist
ing which meets the requirements Of
an ancestor Of our modern breeds
This species is found throughout Aus
tralia and fossil bones which have beer
found show Its presence there from
very early times.

Burlington, Jan. 4.-"There are three

Thus did DR.. Beach, woman warden
Of the new state reformatory for

this city was not represented by a
prisoner in the state reforpnatory.
Mrs. Ransom who visited the insti-
tuition. declared that DR.. Beach who
accompanied her on tour of the in
stitution declared that she has studied
the situation in Burlington as we'll as
the other two cities mentioned and
finds that only in rare cases and usual
ly7at the instance of the parents of the
girls or women are they placed under
arrest. s.
The police matron altho admitting
the police may be lax in dealing with
women In Burlington, declares that In
many inland cities Of the state and
especially in the smaller towns, many
girlk and women are prosecuted In
many cases and often sent to reforma-
tories mostly because they lack enough
influence to throw fear into the hearts
Of authorities: This especially IL true

tain Abbot noted any features which

Objectionable features also received
special attention with view to their
avoidance at the U. A. c.
These schools are running under
the same general orders as the U. A.
c. and the work is of the same gem
eral character at all OF them. One
of the things Captain Abbot noticed
distinctly on his trip was the popu-
larity Of competitive drill between diff
ferent companies and battalions. He
will try to put this in to effect at
the A. c. Immediately. Prizes will
be awarded, to the winners. Mos.
of the institutions visited are pro-
vided with larger and better facili-

MuLARD COUNTY FIRST AREA
TO BE STUDIED

The Department Of Soil Surveys Of
the Utah Experiment Station has be-
gun field work in Willard county with
headquarters at Delta. The Bureau
of Soils of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture will cooperate In the
work, furnishing an assistant for
each man placed in the field by thu
station. Their men and equipment
are expected to arrive at Delta with
in few days. DR., David S. Jennings
and Mr.. Herman w. Stuck, soils ex
perts of the Utah Agricultural Col
lege are representing the station II
the work.
The field work will involve IN"
taking of thousands of soil samples
and the accurate mapping of the sec
ton. indicating the important p.o-
ducts in various parts of the coun-
ty. The soil samples will be car
fully boxed, marked and shipped to
the station laboratories where they
will be analysed during the winter
months when field work is impossi-
BILE.
The following items will be e5pe-
cially considered in the survey:
depth, uniformity and texture of the
soil; type of alkali content, and gen.
eral adaptability for crops. At pres
ent DR.. Jennings and Mr.. Stuck al.
working alone, pending the arrival OF
the government man.
Willard county was selected as the
first area to be studied because of
the great amount of new land being
brought under cultivation, and lie
numerous difficulties experienced by
the settlers from alkali and soil :r-
regularities. The survey will enable
the station to guide future settlers
by indicating the areas in which al
kali is present in sufficient quantiti Is
to interfere with crop growth. This
work will be means of determining
lands that are good and might be
brought under cultivation. 1t will
also form basis for other importa 4
work such as farm management and
orchard surveys. The most import
ant factor, however, is that it Civ +,
specific information on which to base
methods of handling various soils, as
we'll as,being an inventory of the
states agricultural resources 1t Is
planned to continue the work until
all the promising agricultural sec
tons of the state have been covered.
