LAYTON Farmers who have been bothered with coyotes thin wftiter are cooperating with G. K. Ilolmun fit the state and U. S. biological survey co-operative campaign against predatory animals in an effort to destroy the an-imals. The heavy snowfall recently, It is thought will result In more coy- - otes coming down from the mountains, ! and more precautions will be taken to protect the chickens and sheep. Pol- - son bait will bo put out to attract the marauders. SPANISH FORK-Ha- voc among the j deer Is being wrought by four or five mountain lions in Spanish Fork ran- - yon near Red Narrows, it was an- - nounced by I). 11. Madsen, state fish ii ml game comtnislonor. Some weeks ago two lion kittens were killed in th't ' ' section by George Holman, who is in charge of the federal work of exter- - j minating predatory animals in Utah, Mr. Madsen said. The old lions could i not be found at that time. Since then, however, the old ones evidently have returned and brought reinforcements, as several deer have been reported killed In that section. VERNAL Lovers of pets, wild and otherwise, find this city a paradise. Quail and Mongolian pheasants with-out number are in town, driven by snow and cold weather, and they are self invited guests in barnyards.' li the domestic fowl get too plain at times, in signifying objection to the visitors well the pheasants are good boxers and miikp use of their knowl- - i edge. EUREKA At the end of Its first year of operations, during which de-velopment has been carried forward quietly and methodically, the Ameri-can Reality lead-silve- r mine on the South fork of the Humboldt river near Lee, Klko county, is shipping six tons of concentrates daily to the Utah smelters. OGDEN Ogden Is covered, by the heaviest blanket of snow of the win-ter, although the fall in Weber county is reported to be not as heavy as that of points in Davis and Salt Lake coun-ties. Snow fell at intervals during the day. The city streets department, un-der the direction of Harold Tripp, street supervisor, was busy with snow plows clearing streets for traffic and reported good progress. MYTON Importance of alfalfa in Utah agriculture is shown by valuation figures on that crop for 1927, which amounted to $12,420,000. The next most valuable crop was wheat, which brought to farmers last year, $5,792,-000- . TROVO With over i00 birds on ex-hibition, among which are some of the finest strains to be found in this inter-mountai-territory, the first day of thu Utah County Poultry Fanciers' associ-ation's annual poultry show opened recently. The show is being held in the Graham building, situated at 162 West Center street. COALVILLE The Uintah Ranch and water company filed articles of incorporation with the county clerk of ! Summit county last week. The com-pany will incorporate under the laws of the state of Washington with its principal place of business at Seattle. The amount of capital stock is $30,-00- 0 and the trustees, who also are the Incorporators" and own all the out-standing stock are fien C. Grosscup, I. M. Anneslcy and Charles A. Wall ice! MYTON The ice harvest has start-ed in Myton and this portion of the basin. W. T. Rogers has started to cut east of Myton on the Duchesne river and is getting fourteen-inc- ice. Several of the farmers living near the l4ike Fork river also are .lling up their ice houses. It is also reported that the Green river at Ouray is froz-en over and teams and autos are cross-ing there. Ice over a foot thick is be-ing cut there. EPHRAIM Ephraim wool clips from range and home-fe- sheep were sold during the week. The home fed wool, which consists of about 15.000 fleeces, was sold to L. R. Anders n of Manti for Jeremian Williams & Co. at 33 cents per pound fiat. This is one-thir- d of a cent less than was paid for Manti wool, but is three cents more than was received for local wool last year. imiGIIAM CITY More than 150 sportsmen from Ogden, lirigham and other sections of Hoxelder county par-ticipated in a rabbit hunt at Promon-tory recently. The sportsmen were met at the Promontory station by ranchman and taken to the hunting grounds. According to the hunters, abount 5000 rabbits were killed during the day. At the conclusion of the hunt i the sportsmen were given a dinner at ' ' the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ethelhert Larsen. SALT LAKEPredicting that 1928 will be a record-breakin- year for t'tah poultry products on eastern mar-.-, kets, lienjamin ISrown. former presi- - lent of the Utah State Poultry Pro- - ' Jucers' Cooperative association and now director of markets for that or- - j ionization, arrived in Salt Iake from S'ew York Thursday. He is here to Lake up business mutters of the or-ganization and also is scheduled to leliver his annual report and address Saturday at the farm bureau conven- - ion in Ogden. Local turkeys and ' 'ggs, Mr. Rrown said, are especially in iemand along the Atlantic seaboard ! Would Erect Great Shaft to Lincoln A Lincoln monument towering WKJ feet high, visible for 20 miles and sur-mounted by a powerful searchlight to mark the way for air mull pilots Is suggested by Herbert Wells Fay eus todlim of the Lincoln tomb and monu-ment, as a fitting memorial for the Great Emancipator. Such a monument would be Illinois challenge lo the charges that the I in or permitting to bis life and $5,000 for the next five best Offer smaller sums for miniatures of Lincoln, trans-parencies, scenes or photographs. "This amount of money would en-list the best efforts of the gretitest artists of the country and such a collection, properly housed, would at-tract every Lincoln lover of the world. This would make the tomb of Lincoln the last word In detull. One of the v st expensive and desirable acquisi-tions would be a boulevard connecting the state capltol. the tomb and the Lincoln home. With this Idea fol-lowed out, criticisms that Illinois does not appreciate her Lincoln advantage would forever be silenced." Tomb a World Shrine. Mr Fuy, who, as custodian of the I I In ....t.,,,n. fa .A,..,nT.n no mortal Lincoln was being forgotten by his native state. It would also challenge the genius of the world's greatest artists and sculptors, fot Mr. Fay suggests a gigantic standing statue of Lincoln '.'00 feet high mount-ed on a pedestal 300 feet high. Surrounding Its base he would hu!ld a suitable memorial ball to miilcli the proportions of the monument and suf Sclent ty large to house Lincoln me-morials. Plan of Memorial. "Make three circles of rooms," sag jests Mr. Fay. "On the outer wall , arrange to record the principal events In Lincoln's life, especially from the erndle until be went to Washing'"!! i.mii.iii imp ii unit ii i, la icii'iiiiCii aa one of t he best authorities on Lincoln, asserts that there Is a growing senti-ment that Illinois does not fully ap predate her great historical asset. "The home and tomb if Lincoln at-tract more attention over the world than any other single feature, prob-ably more than ull put together," said Mr. Fay. "If 'he citizens of Illinois were alive to their historical advantage they would appropriate a couple of mil-lion dollars to show their apprecia-tion of what came to them by the working of fate. Nearly $:i.000.OH! was expended on the memorial at Washington and It answers every hope of those who are satisfied with an ap-peal to the spectacular. It awes the guest and gives friend nnd foe the proper thrill. Something different should he planned for Springfield." Pushes Idea Before State. Mr. Fay suggests the monument with the surrounding memorial hall simply as a means of getting his Idea before the public, believing that the time is ripe for Illinois to begin giv-ing constructive thought to the mat-ter. The present tomb nnd r.;onument were erected In 1S71 at n cost of $:!."i0,-00- It Is In urgent need of repairs now. Visitors comment on Its condi-tion. Tne small rooms In the base of the monument are far too small and the choice collection of Lincoln documents, memorials and souvenirs cannot be displayed. Mr. Fay's per-sonal collection of Lincoln papers, pic-tures and documents more than fill the limited space at present. There are nine acres In the Lincoln monument plot In beautiful Oakiidge cemetery In Springfield, giving ample space for the erection of a fftlins me-morial and shrine to Illinois' gift t the nation. i Sketch of memorial suggested by Herbert Wells Fay, custodian of the Lincoln tomb and monument at Springfield, III. It would be 5C0 feet high and have a powerful eearchlight on top of it to guide air-ma- pilots. In frames on the walls ami in show cases put pictures of every spnt be ever visited, letters and speeches he wrote, things lie said, stories he told friends, documents and surveys be made. A systematic arrangement ol all of these would give a panmaiii:i j of bis life that would give h patriotic thrill lo every visitor. American or ; foreign. i "In this exhibit could be shown n copy of every letter, speech, survey or document l.e made In chronolegiciii order. Pictures of every person men . tioned und places visited could be shown. There could be shown all pub Mentions about Lincoln, authors ot books, photos of the scenes and every thing.

"Then in the next room faithfully reproduce the Indiana home and vi-- ! cinity. In adjoining rooms of the cen ter circle show a miniature of the Ie-- ' cntur home of Thomas Lincoln, the Soles county home, and reproduce the New Salem village. fine room could be devoted to the f'.hiek Ilawk war. showing the contour of each county traveled, Rooms for Major Events, ".Rooms could be set aside showing Vandalia, the campaign for congress. Lincoln I toiiglas debates, depict the battles of the Civil war, the assassi-nation anj funeral. Another room could be set aside to the Lincoln me-morials erected In his honor. "The Inner circle of rooms next to the b:ise of the statue 'could he de-voted to a display of paintings of Lin-coln, scenes of his life depicted in sculpture and photographs. To get such a collection offer $10,000 each for the five best paintings of Lincoln Bought Lincoln's Cha'r There were a lew odds und ends left nt a Gettysburg (Pa.) auction, nnd Thomas Myrick bought a chair for $U10. He took It home and found under the cushion a card which said that the chair had been used by Abra-ham Lincoln when be came to Gettys-burg to deliver the address which has since become Immortal. It also said that the chair was formerly owned by Judge David Wills, who was Lin-coln's host, nnd the last line was t he Injunction, "Save this chair." I'.idders had paid more than $200 each for chairs owned by .lames (Jet- - t.vs. fodndrr of .Gettysburg, when My- - j rick struck his bargain.
