Show SOUTH CACHE COURIER, HYRUM, UTAH Where the River Shannon Flows PEACE THROUGH SINGING f Project on Foot to Harness Historic Irish Stream. The Shannon river, Washington. which so long has figured in the romances of the imaginative Irish, will soon be connected with an industrial romance of that country. If the great engineering project for harnessing its waters, reported to be in progress, is put into operation, says a bulletin from the Washington, D. 0., headquarters of the National Geographic society. Dainty shamrock blooms and other flowers nod their pretty heads by the side of its foaming weirs and its bawling rapids. They give a colorful background to stories concerning the fairies who still play pranks upon the Inhabitants in its vicinity, the miraculous cures of the numerous holy wells, and the potency of the wishing wells near Its banks. Longest In Irish Free State. Statistically speaking, the Shannon is the largest and longest river In the new Irish Free State, measures 240 miles In length and Is eight miles wide at Its mouth. During its course It drops 150 feet from the foot of the Cullcagh mountains, where It rises, to the sea the last feature being the source of Its power to turn the wheels ' of Industry. From Loop Head and Kerry Head, the twin capes at its entrance to the sea. It Is navigable for all classes of ships for 86 miles, or up to Its junction with the Fergus river and a considerable world navy might be hidden within Its estuary, which in some places widens out to ten miles. Once, many years ago, the town of Limerick at the head of navigation on the Shannon, had fond aspirations of being the greatest port in Ireland because ships from America could sail up the river and dock at her wharves, but a turn in the tide of affairs of the island caused the city to wither away, and now few boats except excursion steamers and pleasure craft drop their gangplanks along Limericks waterfront. Down through Lough Allen, near the northwestern coast of Ireland out Into the central portion of the country and back again to the southwest, the river flows, measuring off a portion of land very similar in shape to Wales, about the same size and in a corresponding location with reference to Ireland that Wales bears to England. It has been canalized and made navigable for small vessels as far as Lough Allen near Its source ; the Grand and Royal canals connect It with Dublin, the Ulster canal with Belfast. Its volume is obtained from a catchment basin of 4,544 square miles. Divides Island Historically. Historically speaking, It has for a thousand or more years been the dividing line between eastern Ireland, which was overrun at various times by the Danes and the English, and western Ireland, which is Irish through and through and where Gaelic is still the language of the people. But the beautiful fertile valley, with Its green, calm, lush meadows seems fitter for a more peaceful life than history has hitherto accorded it. The Danes pushed their boats up to the head of navigation at Limerick in the Ninth century, and managed to throw a bridge across the river. This was almost the only way of getting across the river barrier with the exception of the ford at Athlone just below Lough Ree. Brian Boru led his forces against the Danes and drove them out after a struggle which romantically colors the pages of Irish history, but the Normans came just a little while later, took Limerick and erected a great castle from which they might clinch their hold upon the country. Scarcely a century passed that did not know bloody struggles along the peaceful river. Edward Bruce captured the Norman castle in 1316, and Hugh ONeill held it for six months against one of the greatest of Cromwells generals. The venerable old castle, with its great drumlike towers and walls ten feet thick, stands by the riverside today. The portion of the river just above Limerick is known as the most beautiful, and has been dubbed by happy fishermen the Utopia of Irish anglers. Its salmon and trout fishing are faMrs. J. J.

Bundesen, health , commissioner of Chicago, ran a train over the Rock Island tracks from the Englewood station to Beverly Hills and back, about twenty miles, using for fuel chunks of dry milk Instead of coal. When the skeptical crowd reached the station Doctor Bundesen was at the throttle In the engine cab and E. Worthmiller, the fireman, was shoveling chunks of dried cows milk Into the firebox. During the entire experiment milk was the only thing fed to the fire.
