According to marker coordinator Wilbur Wieprecht, the Lamoille monument will be delivered to state highway district engineer Owen Joseph in Elko this month for future installation.

Fallick (R), who purchased the painting for $6,000. A SOLILOQUY The golden of sunset, the blue gray of dawn, Its purple of twilight and twinkling stars far beyond Oftimes cause me to wonder, is all creation by chance? Or was there designing in this, the scheme of ramance? From whence came substance, with which to design? Did matter always exist, with a Godhead divine? Out of nothing came earthlife, is the folly of fools Each design, a designer, is the logic of schools. To a million false gods we pray -- mans devotion Then scuttle all reason on our seas of emotion. But God is the helmsman and steering lifes course, We may sing, pray and preach and shout ourselves hoarse. But time is the essence and justice its measure. Hell and Heaven are actual, free agencys pleasure. So give ear oh earth, take heed fickle man. We may confuse the issue but we cannot destroy the plan. A. C.
