to the Principalship of the Theo

Henry E. Randall

The death of Captain Ran
dali on January %, 1921, after
q lingering illness of more than
one year, marked the passing
of one of the worlds good men
into eternal life. 1t would take
a volume to enumerate his var
ious enterprises and deeds of
charity. He did more for 9th,
ers than for himself. A patri-
OF of the most ardent type, he
devoted four years of his young
manhood following the flag of
his country through the period
of its civil strife, and it was a
constant source of regret to
him that he could not actively
participate in the World War.
Standing beside him as he rails
ed the stars and stripes on the
municipal flag pole, and review
ed a parade in honor of soldiers
enlisting in the late war, the
writer heard him remark,
would God that | might go
with them"
AS citizen of Lyndon, ST.
Johnsbury and Island Pond he
rendered valuable service in
various positions as town of'ic-
ial. At St. Johnbury he was
chief of the fire and police de-
partments, and in Island Pond,
he had served on the school
beard and the board of select
men, and he organized and was
chief of the fire department up
to the time of his last illness.
His record of thirty-five years
in customs service was most
'enviable. Always true to his
government, but at the same
time courteous to the public, he
made a host of friends among
travellers and importers. The
Captain was never idle. Such
time as was not required for his

services to the public was de-
voted to his home and family.
Two daughters, Carrie and Co
ra were born to his first wife,
Mary Shanks Randall who died
Oh May %, 1890, and a son,Ed-
ward was born to his second
wife, Mary Skinner Randall.
To the rearing of his son who
had a remarkable talent for
mechanics, the Captains early
occupation, he devoted the la
ter years of his life, and not
without recompense, ,as Edward
Randall became one OF the
foremost civil engineers and
business men of eastern Cana
da. Edwards sudden death
from influenza about two years
ago was the, beginning of Mr..
Randalls decline in health, and
he never ceased to mourn the
loss of his son. .s.u.
Born on the Randall home
stead in Lyndon, VT, March IL,
1845, he attended district
school for a few years, then de-
voted his energies to learning
the carpenters trade. After
his return from the Civil War,
he was a successful contractor,
and built many of the buildings
now standing in Lyndon and st
Johnsbury. On September :,
1885, he was appointed a Dep
uty Collector of Customs at the
port of Island Pond and re-
manned in this service until su-
peranuated on August 20, 1920.
There remains to mourn his
loss, his wife to whom he was
married October e, 1891, two
daughters, Mrs. Carrie Legacy
of st. Johnsbury, and Mrs. Co.
ra Lynch of Lyndonville, one
step-son, E. L Skinner of Island
Pond, four grand daughters
and two step-grand children.

To P. D. Q.

We received a communication for
publication this week signed P. D. O..
but the writer failed to give us his
real name and therefore we were I'M
able to publish it, We have no objec-
ton to publishing an article over a
nom de plume, although we think it
best for every man to show his colors,
but in all cases we must know the
writer's name. not especially for pub
LEGATION, but as matter of good
faith. In this particular case we do
not agree with all that P. D. 9. has
tc say and would suggest that the ar
ticlc be rasped down just little.

MONUMENT IN
HONOR OF SEA GULLS.

Salt Lake City, Sept. 22.-Report
from North Dakota that seagulls re-
Gently appearing in Mclean County
had destroyed grasshoppers which
threatened to ruin the crops, called
attention here to similar incident
in Mormon picture life in Utah.
Today notable monument 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 a
pillar about 100 feet high surmount-
ed by a bronze seagull. At it's base
are inscriptions detailing the reason
for it's erection with illustrations by
Mahonri Young, the Utah sculptor.
The first pioneers trekked across
the plains into Salt Lake City valley
in 1S47. Brigham Young stipulated
that there should be intensive cul-
tivation of the land, crops were
grown and the farmers looked for a
bountiful harvest the next year
Then crickets in huge armies swoop-
ed down upon the crops. The far
mers tried to eliminate the pest with
out success Transportation at the
time was difficult, means to obtain
foodstuffs from distant points were
limited, and the situation looked
critical.
When practically every one had
given up hope of saving any part OF
the crops, the seagulls, termed by old
Mormons as the messengers from
heaven" appeared. They did not
touch the grain but warred on the
crickets and in a short time had rid
den the elds of the pest. There
are no records to show from whence
the birds came.
The seagull is Utah's sacred bird
1t is unlawful to kill it. Many of the
people of this state hold it in af
fectionate memory and during the
summer thousands give of thei1
bread to the birds that may be see1
in large numbers at Saltair, a resort
few miles from here on the Great Sal
Lake.

PROTEST THE INTERLOCKING

Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-Bus-

sections of the country are lombard
ing the Federal Reserve Board with
letters mad kilograms calling their at
tention to the many violations of the
law which prohibits interlocking

are violating this law to the detri-

1t is pointed out that the law was

such acts on the part of big banks.
Under the old system many banks
