Seagulls DevOur
Many GrasshOppers
SeaguIls Leave Lake Front for the
Broader Meadows of North
Dakota.
(By Associated Press)

Salt Lake City.-Rep0rt from North
Dakota that seagulls recently appear
ing in Mclean county have destroyed
grasshoppers which threatened to ruin
the crops, called attention here to a
similar incident in Mormon pioneer
life in Utah. Today notable monu-
ment stands in the Mormon temple
grounds in Salt Lake City in honor of
the birds that saved the early settlers
from threatened starvation in 1848. 1t
is pillar about 100 feet high sur
mounted by bronze seagull. At its
base are inscriptions detailing the rea-
son for its erection with illustrations
by Mahonri Young, the Utah sculptor
The first pioneers trekked across the
plans into Salt Lake valley in 1847
Brigham Young stipulated that there
should be intensive cultivation of the
land, crops were grown and the farm
ers looked for bountiful harvest the
next year. Then crickets in huge ar
mics swooped down upon the crops
The farmers tried to eliminate the pest
without success. Transportation at the
time was difficult, means to obtain food
stuffs from distant points were limited
and the situation looked critical.
When practically everyone had given
up hope of saving, any part of the crops,
the seagulls, termed by old Mormons
as the messengers from heaven" ap-
peared. They did not touch the grain
but warred on the crickets and in a
short time had ridden the fields of the
pest. There are no records to show
from whence the birds came.
The seagull is Utah's sacred bird.
It is unlawful to kill it. Many of the
people of this state hold it in affec-
tionate memory and during the summer
thousands give of their bread to the
birds that may be seen in large num-
bers at Salt II, resort a few miles
from here ca the Great Salt Lake.

Chinook JargOn
is Still Held
Northwest Still Uses Composite Chi
nook Jargon as Means of
Communication.
(Ry Associated Press,


Tacoma, Wash.-The Chinook jargon
the prevalent means Of communication
in pioneer days between traders of all
| nations and the Indians, is still heard
in the northwest when old settlers meet
In reunion or at pioneer picnics. The
Jargon is said to date back to the early
part of the 18th century when English
and Spanish navigators adopted GER
tain novels and consonants to convey
their meaning to the Indians.
The dialect grew in the course of the
years until finally words were evolved
to express almost every idea that might
occur. 1t was the universal language
during the early trading period and
was known by Indians, English, Spaa-
iards, French and Americans alike.
One of the first things a settler did
when coming to the northwest was to
learn Chinook so that he could con-
verse with the Indians. Each tribe had
language of it's own, but all knew
Chinook.
Some of the most common Chinook
expressions and their meanings are as
follows: Klahowya, good morning;
kahtah mika, what ails you; kumtux
mika Boston wawa, do you understand
English; kah mika klap choke opalo,
where did you catch that trout; kahta
mika, how are you; chahco yahkwa,
come here friend; abba; very we'll;
Boston man, American; chill chill, stars;
chuck, water; ki-nooti, tobacco; cultus,
worthless; n1oo-lok, elk; til-i-kum,
friend; tin-tin, musical instrument;
si-wash, Indian; skookum, strong; and
suk-wal-al, gun.
Some of these words have become
fairly current in this section. In or
binary speech man often refers to a
dear friend as his "tilicum"; a person
who is of little account is often called
"cultus" and "skookum" is often APP
piled to man of great strength OF
physical vigor.

at the same time it didn't do much for the

to be good girls it would be lot better for
both the community and for the girls. Girls
are valuable to the community and good girls

RESUME ARGUMENT
OF COOP CASE
Madison Court to Decide on Rights of
Cooperative Society TO Sell
Stock in Wisconsin.

(By Associated Press Leasad WireD
Madison - Argument in the case of
the state against the Wisconsin CO.
operative Society, before Judge E.
Ray Stevens in circuit court here, will
be resumed again this afternoon. The
morning session Of court was taken
up with presentation of the states
arguments why the company should be
dissolved and an injunction issued to
prevent sale of its stock.
Claim was made by R. NJ Hoyt dep
uty attorney-generaI that the company
through it's organization of a $4,000
corporation which intends to sell So
100000 worth of profit-sharing deben-
lures, has ciolated the Wisconsin Co.
operative law in its effort to get
around the state blue-sky law. He
traced the history Of the concern to
show that it is an out-growth of the
cooperative society of America.
Attorneys for the society presented
affidavits to show that the company
had no connection with the Corpora
tive Society of America, and filed fifty
affidavits from holders of its deben-
lures, saying that they were satisfied
with the company.

If, on the other hand, these fellows are willing
to forget their own political ambitions for the
good of the state there is some hope of the
movement doing some good. There are hun
dred men in Wisconsin fitted for the office of
Governor and thousand more suitable to hold
any of the state offices Not one Of the offices
is so attractive from financial standpoint that
it should urge any one to commit political sui
eide
There should be a sane element in the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties in Wisconsin
which all see the danger of league domination
and which would be made up of men who would
be able to look to the future little and let go
their own political ambitions for the good of
the whole people.
If the movement being started is going to
back just one man for office, if it is going to be
a repetition of the botches that have been made
politically in the past years the sooner it is
discouraged the better
1t the movement is to get anywhere it must
start with the understanding that it is not 60
ing to be kicked over next summer just because
some fellow who has a little following in the
state has not been properly taken care of in
the making Of suggestions for nominations.
1t means considerable to Wisconsin to get into
the list of states which believe in the sane form
of government along lines free from socialistic
faint. 1t means enough to have a lot of fellows
who have grated themselves on party leader
ship, let go the barnacles and drift into the
ranks of private but ardent supporters of good
sane government.
The barnacles of these fellows must be broken
before there is any hope of successful move
ment to defeat league dominance in Wisconsin
