Richards, .who later became a prominent attorney of Utah. For a number of years he attended Mrs. Pratts private school and from there entered the University Deseret, which is now the University of Utah. In 1871 Mrs. Baxter moved to Randolph with her son John and daughter Jane. President Baxter told many interesting stories of the times he hunted and swam with the Indian boys that each year passed through the Randolph country on their way from the Wind River country to the Salmon river each year. While he was hunting with the Indian boys the girls used to sew for the little Indian babies. President Baxter was one ot the young men that helped build the first canal in Bear River. He helped haul logs to build many of the farm houses in the Randolph district. At that time logs and poles from the Ran dolph canyon were used as a medium of exchange. Five poles would admit a young man to the dance if delivered to the dance hall. It was while getting out poles to pay for a yoke of -- . ! I j n , , SStorilT toOs'lTnd"!

Pall-beare- The Tomb of Homer What is generally considered as resting place of the poet Homer is at Ios, or Nio, in the Isles of Greece. The tomb stands on the northern side of the island In a district described as The Garden." Natl. Council News With the passing of John M. Baxter, for thirty years president of the Woodruff Stake, let me ek the reading people whether or not they have put his valuable book into tiieir libraries? This book was published four years ago. It has 236 pages of valuable local matter in it, and contains e S3 illustrations that tell a lot of neighborhood history. It is bound in silk, printed on the best of paper and beautifully printed, so that It is a publication that should be generally in the homes of this vicinity, especially the Mormon homes. President Baxter borrowed the money to publish that work, and it was highly a piece of local patriotism, on his part to do so. A goodly number of copies are yet unsold. I have found it worth two readings, and I keep it handyas a work of local reference. I refer to it on an. average of once a week. 'It is worth the time I did put into it and will put into it. Those who have not read it have missed a valuable chronicle of local history. Those who have not added it to their, libraries have missed adding an ornamental publication to their bookshelves and a reference book to tbeir homes that will Increase in value from year to year.
