N. Anderson, This dear old lady died enroute across the plains, but this relic shows bow cultured she was, for its use denotes the care and attention given to their clothes, by these pioneer ladies, even though they were crossing a thousand miles of wilderness. It opens, at the end, and a red rot iron may be Inserted Inside to provide heat for the iron itself. Another example is the little Irish straw hat owned by Elwood Baxter, and worn by r, the late Mrs. Baxters Elizabeth McElroy as she crossed the plains in 1860 after leaving County Downs In Ireland. rrand-mothe- 80 RELIES are now found In the two cases. They range from a warlike spear and battle ax combined n one weapon, used by Alfred Harper, and given to the Orem relic collection by R. R. Thorne, abstractor of Trovo, to a Blue Plate, said to be more than 200 years old, presented by Dfucllla Baxter, and used by an early pioneer of Eastern U. S. long before the Mormons ever set foot In Nauvoo. It crossed the plains In 1852 to Utah.

Brown In melting lead and zinc for the U. 8. Army back In 1858. The story Is that Brown took Artemus children still live in Orem district, with him to find ead in Utah, and they crossed aver into Nevada where, near Las Vegas, they discovered a ledge of shat they thought was lead. They melted much of it In their mould, md later found out it was pure tine. Returning they were unable to find that ledge for years, but finally a prospecting company did Usrover it again. This mould used by them has the eagle plainly Imprinted into its Bolld iron Then there is a solid maple hide. chair made of Utah wood by the e earliest pioneers, with a real bottom stretched across the seat.

Tbe beet contract had to be in the name of the boy or girl and signed before the beets were planted. The rivals were scored on this basis: tonnage 50 points, cleanliness of fields and farming practices 25 points, and record books 25 points. Arrangements are being made for the presentation of the checks to these boys at some public gathering in their communities. H John K.
