Pedagogical Term The method of teaching reading whereby the child is' taught his letters first and then words alphebeticallv and phonetically is called the alpha - wa' written, .and, by a com mittee appoftited by the framers there were written- - into jliat 'Constitution a law defining the boundary lines of the, counties and states." which was acted upon by the legislature of this, state, and a fixed inflexible law regulating the changing of tie same, which can only be (lone by the, counties concern- ed. The writer of this article called the attention of the late Wesley K. Walton, then State Senator of this district, to the law defining Rich county, and the obvious biistake of using the word east when the word "weM1 should have I teen used, and thus causing the ambiguities that now exist in the line, making it impossible to le surveyed or defined, thus leaving Rich County without a boundary line from Wasatch station to' the Wyoming line, This matter was' taken up by a'foi-me- r representative- - of Rich County, Mr. Arch McKinnon, who was successful in getting it bill through the legislature the same, through of his, but through an amendment forced by the committee, the line was changed which 'the Supreme court, inc justljr ruled pncdimtii eiie) bill changed the point from he North : wderoLthe. .crossed the summit at ' WaWcli ' station.' fo a Section corner one thousand feet to the south, thence east to the state line, tieing it on to a town , - I raio-lvlureij- betic method, ( First to Protoct Oysters Rhode Island wgS the first state to set aside water territory for the propagation of oysters. 1799. this state. set for the cultivation oysters by private As early as June. aside a small tract and propagation of partie lot. Summit County entered suit igairst Rich County in the District Court of Summit County, and filed a leng'hy complaint describing the topographical country surrounding the line in question. attempting to- fix the summit five and seven, tenths miles east of Wa satcli station, and a watershed one mile east of Wasatcli station, thus takeast ing advantage of the word which should have been west, thus establishing a watershed one mile ea-- t ef Wasatch station, and a summit six miles east; when in fact the line reave (lie watershed one mile west of Wasouth to the satch station, aud beare north side of the ' railroad, thence northeast to the watershed add Ihc summit of Wasatch station, thence f, Kin thc nortii side of the railroad at that point due east, to the Wyomina state line. Rich County filed a demur to Summit Countys complaint which was sustained; 'hence the statements in the Summit Comitys complaint misstating the facts a 5 to where the watershed and the summit is was carried nip to the Supreme Court, and there sjtands undisputed. The demur carried it up to the Supreme. Court witp all the misstatements contained in Summit Countys complaint, which of course could not be viewed otherwise than facts, therefor the Supreme Court could only pass on the merits of. the case as set forth in Summit Countys complaint. ' the court having rib. power to consider the merits of. tlie case other than set forth in said complaint, and in support of the contention of Summit Countys-case- , several casesi were cited dealing with the boundary lines in the southern part of the state, which have no heajring on the merits of Rich County's case, and the following quotations from their findings leadi me to believe that they were not wholly in the dark as to the true merits of the case. They say, we do not attempt to say where the line leaves the Wyoming state line or where it nits the north side of the railroad,' but .frpfh the sufficiency of the complaint which stands undisputed it is the opinion of the court the forms north side of the railroad the line between Summit and Rich County for a distance of five and s Bear in- mind, miles. that decision was, based on the sufficiency of the complaint, and not' on the merits of the case, and thus was defeated the just and honest conten. tion of Rich ounty. Now, a brief statement of the legal side of the question, first : the statutes are the only field notes that car be used by a surveyor tunning a boundary line, state or county. Now, we find in the statutes a definitely seven-tenth- the truth and evidence of which cannot be questioned. That point is a summit, defined by Webster's dictionary as the highest point; that of a watershed; the highest point reached by a railroad. The question at issue is where tlie north side of .the railroad crosses the summit, and its north side, and as to that point Webster says that the word side means, "as the sides of a room from its center; the sides of an angle; the side of a river ; the side of a railroad w hich defines that, question. The statutes iUiy- ti.at Wasatch station is n the 'summit and the1 railroad crosses it at that poipt, and the Wasatch station is defined fay the Union Pacific railroad as next- to the highest point reached by the U. P: railroad, the highest being Snerman Hill, four hundred miles east of ' Wasatch station, and those two points being the two highest between Ogden and Omaha. The railroad survey fixes Wasatch station sixty-fou- r fret higher than Bear river, and seven hundred and twenty feet higher than the Weber river. The1 statutes between define, the line in question Summit and Rich County starting from a loinf 011 the north side of the railroad where it crosses tlie summit first west, of Bear river valley, separating the waters of the Weber from tl.e waters of Bear river, and from thai point goes directly east to the Wyoming state line. The statutes also say that the line running west from the Wyoming state line starts directly east and runs ' west to that definitely point. That point is the question at, issue. Summit county fixes that imiiit nearly seven miles east of Wasatch station, a point near Wyutah station, where the drainage from the watershed, irom six to ten miles west forrils a stream .that during the month,, of May would at times swim a liovse. Summit countys contention basi nothing to support It but the. jnlshonjer of- the one wor.d eaXt, ' nl In order?- - ter' secure the taxes ou thq railroad 'their surveyor runs a line frtrm one mile east of Wasatch station along the north side of tlie lailroad seeking a summit where there is none to be fSund, until it reaches the Wyoming, state line within a few hundred feet. The writer has some knowledge of surveying himself, and will say that no suneyor or engineer that ever looked through a telescope can run I lie disputed line as it is tifday. No man or surveyor can find a summit !otween Wasatch station and Wyutah station. This disputed line cannot be defined so long as the one woril east remains on the statute book. Remove that word alone, and you do not have to substitute the word west. Just mop it out and any man that has any knowledge of surveying can define within an inch. ' Leave it as it is, and we have no line. The law says that wherever guch mistakes are found they can be removed just so long as it does not. destroy the intent of the law. In this case the intent of the committee defining this line is pjain and cannot lie questi(ed for it is supported by physical facts that cannot be questioned or misunderstood. The other defense as put. up by Summit County are: You have slept on You have had your your rights; Your time in court; latches are dosed; The supreme court has ruled against you. Those statements deny Rich County, a line, it does not give us that which the Constitution of this state says we are entitled to. Some say we have no remedy, but my opinion is, though I may be wrong, that there is a remedy under the law, and an immediate one, and it is this: Mandaus the State engineer, if he refuses to define it and force him, under the law, to use' the statutes as his field notes, and not the field notes of the Summit County surveyor., and pci form his duty under the law pertaining to his office, and eliminate that one word. east whchis wholly in his power to do and the code commission has no other remedy but to pass it up to the legislature and they ar under obligations to remove the existing questions of" boundary lines between Summit and Rich Counties.

According to those who have seen the script arid rehearsals, the Conoco dramatic productions, built around outstanding romantic historical events in the development of the Western United States, promise superb entertainment. 0 Tne whole of the Western states, the' great scenic wonderland in whichr were enacted so many of the stirring dramas of American history from which fiction writers have drawn their material for decades, fiorm the background for the Conoco programs. They will be dramatized incidents in the historical epic of tne West, written as truly in accordance with the historical facts as historians and research workers can make them. They will include such miniature dramas as the discovery of Bikes Beak by Zebulon M, Bike, the opening of the Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma, which precipitated Diet wildest race for land ever recorded in history ; Custers Last Stand, in JJontana ; discovery of the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico and a score of others similar in character, each a chapter in the saga of the winning of the west. To the millions of Americans who have seen this Western wonderland, or who are planning to see it during future summer motor tours, the Conoco proglams will be particularly interesting, gecause of their direct bearwhich ing upon the scenic beauty-spot- s have become the shrine of increasing millions of toursts each summer. The Conoco programs will be presented each Thursday evening, from 10 to 10:30 p. m.

Now my question is: Are the people of Rich, County going to cease in their efforts in this direction, or quit the ' fight.? In concluson I will say, though this has no bearing on the issue, under discussion, or its legality, but reflects strongly on the hard luck story employed in 'ffieir complaint, setting forth the injustice of depriving one of their school districts of its revenue. The school in the district mentioned in their complaint was visited by the writer some years ago and he found just seven pupils therein. Is not Summit County able to supply the loss of an unijiSt revenue sufficient to maintain such a school, when it ha a taxed valuation as follows: Mines, six million, railroad, one hundred and thirty five miles, six millions; and other property .about six millon. compare the dfference between that and Rlrih Countys revenues.
