Ihe attributes of pusliing, metropolitan metropoli-tan communities. The St. George people have voted to erect a brick school building to cost about $30,000.' To do this they have not issued bonds, but aim ply ; levied a seventeen mill tax to cover th expenso. Down in that section they have n very limited number num-ber of sources of wealth on which to draw for money, but the St. George folks have not let the little question of money annoy them. Down there they use us money tithing order an 1 . fatry sciip something I this town lias been rid ol so long that it has forgotten it. Nevertheless, Never-theless, on this circulutiiigmeili-um circulutiiigmeili-um St. George will build her $30,000 school house- and pastor pas-tor it in one year. It is announced that me chanics who labor on the building build-ing will receive as pay 10 cents in cash; 45 cents in factory scrip and 4" cents in tithing orders Brick to the amount of $10,739 will be burned tor the structure. , This shows a determination and energy, and an -ability to adapt means at hand to an end to be attained, which is so far in advance of anything to be found in this section that it is worthy of emulation. The Independ ent man has been claiming all kinds of things for Springville, but a comparison of this city'a enteiir'ne with that of Sr. George is an extremely fatigue-ing fatigue-ing task. St. George is an onsi$ in the midst of a sandstone desert. It has 1,600 people, and the whole county in which it is located has only 5,000. Its nearest railroad rail-road point is 110 miles away across the mountains and deserts to the north. The country raises few marketable products, and money thinks twice before it goes - to .St. George, ' Yet the people have taxed themselves enough in one year to . build a $30000 school house. " Springville has 3500 people, and is in a county with 25.000. She has the best soil in the Slate, and water to wet it up with.- She has fruit and grain crops without limit in possibility. possi-bility. She has railroad facilities facili-ties second only to Salt Lake and Ogden. She has abundant water power. Her people claim to be up to date and abreast of the times. And see what we do! Barely two weeks ago it required an effort for the school board to get an appropriation of f'JUU will),, which .to give one year of high school instruction! Five thousand dollars worth of bonds, with which to raise money, to equip a money-saving and wealth-producing electric lighting system for the municipality munici-pality frightened us into- fits! We only dare dreaiii of a $10,000 opera house, nd in the meantime mean-time hold ; our assemblies in halls not half large enough. We let the Mt. Nebo people plant a sugar factory just over our borders in the desert. Up Hobble creek we have the largest deposits of marble in America, and the owners are hustling all over the East for the few paltry thousands necessary to develop it. But have we done nothing? Yes, nothing, mostly. We did put $1600 worth of gravel on the sidewalks. , We got a bridge built over Hobble creek, and somewhere on the charts is the road we had opened up for Lake Shore people. And one othtr little thing we have also and that is'the little check the Rio Grande Western put on the plan to bring, the Short Line uptown out of the swamps. Springville is a pushing, progressive pro-gressive towti with rapid antecedents, ante-cedents, but she would be out classed.' in a race 'iwith S'. George.

A rouph, brown dog sat at the. very edge of the tumble-down breakwater, lie was looking steadily seaward. He wai evidently old, and be was scarred by many fights; but his sunken mouth, from which he had lout many teeth, Hhowcd that he would not fight again victoriously. lie was gaunt from a lifetime of in-suflicicnt in-suflicicnt food, but yet he Iiad the air of a dog who is loved. Sometimes he turned from his gaze at the sea and glanced behind him ot the child who was aitting in a wheelbarrow wheel-barrow a few feet away, tvery time he glanced thus he slightly wagged Iub stump of a tail, and the child smiled or she said in a soft voice: ' "Good Itoss!" And then Doss wagged harder;' but he could not give much attention to his companion, for his wholo heart waa with that bent old woman who waa up to her waist in the water by the outermost outer-most ledge. U was tlwre that tb Irish moKS grew, and at low tide the woman could gather it. She thrust her arm down to the shoulder each time for her" handful of moss. She was wet, sodden wet, save for a smalt place ocrosa her back. She had a man's straw hat fastened by a small rope tightly under Jier chin. Her fiu?p looked a hundred years old, It was in troth 70 old, seamed, and leathery; leath-ery; and It was a face you loved to look at. Krery few momenta she raised her head and put her dripping hand upover her eyes as she turned toward th? land; she waa nt first dazzled by t he glare of the water. When she looked tip thus the little gJrl in the wheel barrow always al-ways wared her hst; theu a dim, beautiful beau-tiful Rmile would come in the faded eyes. '"It's jest' a doin' of her lots of good," she would say aloud. "I'm awful gtad I wheeled her down. I wish now I'd brought : Iter down oftener this summer." sum-mer." ..;.'.: " ;! Twice as she looked shoreward she called out shrilly:" ' .n: "Itoss, you take care of her; won't you, UofrV' 1 ; , Then Boss pricked up hts ears and hook his tall, and the girl laughed and suld she guesBpd nhe"n' Boss could git along first-rate. ' "We're use't to it; ain't we, Boss?" t When sh said this the dog got up, came to her side, gave- her a swift lick acroM the fnee, then hurried back and sat down on the edge of the plaiiKs agaiu. , Once the woman out in the water Hllpped and fell splashing, and Hons jumped up, whining in a piteous quiver, and would not lie comforted even when the child said, soothingly: ' "Never ralcd. old fellow!" J V ' But when the worn a u floundered to her feet again and cried: "All right!! the dog sat down." Still he frequently gave a little whine under hlabj-eath. Tie was thinking that this wyi the first x a ... . i4 It was a low course of tides, and now the water had gone far out, so that one could get to the ledges where the moss grew. . , Cranny had do boat aa mofct of the mos.se in had there were some boat now fart her along, and little Molly could see the' men put their long-bandied rakes down and draw them op full. She knew that those men made more money than her grandmother but then she didn't kr.ow much about money. Some of the ucighbors often said that they thems.-lvcs could not afford to keep a dog. When they said this granny shut her lips tight, and the rt chance she had she would stroke the dog's h ad.. "I gurs they don't know much about a dog," he told Molly, " V I guess 'k long's we've . anything to rat Bosh'U have nonie of it. Eb, old feller?" Molly sank back on her pillow in the barrow. Sho amused herself by almost closing her eyes so that the ea seemed' to come up nearer nnd crimple in sparks of fire. Then &he would open her lids wide, and the great stretch of wirier would flash blindingly on her vision. She played at this for a long time, and always in- front of her wa the dog; he had grown up in the conviction that oil was well if he wn near. Soon everything grew dcliciously dim and then clear, and the Halt smell waa sweeter, and she waa walking over the hard sand as straight as anybody, holding hold-ing her head up ttrongiy. She did not know she was asleep. It was real to her that she waa walking. N Suddenly she i-at upright ii-. her wheelbarrow, wheel-barrow, clutching the sides of it. Boss was not t here. Had he barked ? Or had some one called? She looked off the ledge. She saw Boss leaping frantically over the w eedy rocks. He went as if he were a young dog he went like a crca-t crca-t ure possessed. He seemed not to leap, but to fly from one rock to another, over the f-till, green pools. Molly could only see the dog and, beyond be-yond him, shining water. Where waa graany? The child tried to scream, but she felt as if in a nightmare, and could not make a sound. Oh, there wua something down between be-tween the rocks, on the far side of the ledge! It was there that Boss wan-going. And there was the mosser in bks boat, putting his rake down just as he had been doing when thechild had gone to sleep. For r.n instant sue thought she wae dreaming. But Boss was gone, and yes there was something among the rock it was granny's hat sticking up, and it did not move. Molly tried again to scream, and it was as if her -heart would break in the trying. Her voire, wna only a hoaree kind of a whisper. But there! Bos had reached his friend. He tried to pull her out. Between Be-tween his lips -he barked, he howled nay, he screamed. Was his heart breaking break-ing also? At ln-st the- mosser out there held his rake just above the water and gazed toward the. shore, listening. The wind waa off the sen, and sounds from the J;ind did not onme clearly. (Continued on Fourth Page.) "It Is the Best on Earth."
