The House of the Lord, Built by the Church of August 21, Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Commenced April 6, 1853; Completed April 6, 1893.” Such are the words inscribed on a stone tablet on the east central tower of the Great Temple of the Mormons in Salt Lake City. On July 28th, 1847, Brigham Young president of the Mormon church, was walking over the present Temple site He suddenly stuck his cane into the parched soi] at his feet and exclaim- ed Here we will build the Temple That evening 10 acres ng this spot were selected e Temple Block, and it was ied that the city should be built t this square.

DENNIS & HERSCHBACH structure, and on April 6th of the same year the corner stone was laid. The Temple is built of gray granite taken from a mountain twenty miles woutheast of the c'ty. Many of the blocks of granite in the walls are so large that four yoke of oxen were re- quired to haul each of them, requir- ing four days in transit. The process of hauling the great blocks by ox teams was so slow that it was decid- ed to build a canal. The canal was started but before it was completed a railroad was laid which surplanted the canal. Some idea of the massiveness of the building, and of the enormous amount of rock used in its construc- tion may be had from the following figures: Foundation wall is 16 feet wide and 8 feet high; basement walls 8 feet thick; upper walls 6 feet thick. The extreme length of the building is 186 1-2 feet; extreme width 118 1-2 feet; height of side walls on main part 107 1-2 feet; east center tower 210 feet high; west cen- ter tower 204 feet. The entire area is 21,850 feet. The architecture of the Temple is original, but magnificent. Upon ei- ther end are three towers, all of granite. Upon the capstone of the east center tower ié a statue of ham- mered copper, 12 feet 5 1-2 inches in height and gilded with pure leaf gold. It represents the angel Mor- oni blowing a trumpet, proclaiming the restoration of the Gospel as be- lieved in by the Mormons. The larg- est dressed rocks in the building, are about level with the ground at the ‘base of the buttresses. There are 34 of them and between each pair is a basement window. Upon each of these stones, “Earth stones” as they are called, is carved in basre- lief a globe three feet eleven inches across. Above these “Earth stones” are a set of oval windows. Above these windows are set 50 “moon stones” carved to represent the dif- ferent phases of the moon. Above these are more windows and another row of 50 stones, “Sun stones.” Nearly all the keystones of the windows and doors in the building are ornamented with fire-pointed stars. Stars, also, are carved in the faces of other rocks in the struc- ture. In the facade of the middle tower at the west end of the building in line with the battlements, is carved | the seven stars of “Ursa Major” or | Big Dipper, with the pointers toward the north star. The keystones of the lower dows of the east and west center | towers are inscribed: “I am Alpha and Omega.” Below these keystones | is carved the emblem of clasped)| hands, and at the top of the upper- most windows is cut the symbol of the all seeing eye. The whole temple is built peculi- arly as symbolical of various teach- imgs of the Mormons. The three tow ers of the east end, six feet higher than those at the west end, repre-! | sent the three Presiding High Priests of the church. In like manner the win- | resent the Presiding Bishopric of the church. Or either set may be also symbolical of the Trinity. The ‘angel Moroni appeared to the Proph- et Smith, proclaiming the re-estab- |lishment of the Kingdom of God in | the Mormon church. On the east center tower is carved | a representation of the sun’s rays | | falling from the clouds. This indi- | cates the rays of the Gospel dispell- | | ing the earthly darkness. The ston- | es representing the sun, earth, moon ) and stars, are allegorical emblems | of the conditions to which the resur- | rected souls of mankind will be as- signed, when all are judged ‘“‘accord- | ing to their works.” The poiniters of the Big Dipper | show the true path, that indicated | by the priesthood, to all those who; | aoubt. The Clasped Hands are em-| blematic of the brotherly love of the Latter Day Saints. The symbol of the All Seeing Eye expressed the words, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” The interior of the temple is for- bidden to the eyes of the Gentile, for none but Mormons may enter. This Temple, costing $4,000,000.00, was started by a people, exiled for their beliefs, struggling in an un- broken country to earn a livelihood. At the time of its being started ‘there were no railroads. Considering {the conditions of the builders and the times, the cost of money and la- bor, the building of this most won- derful Temple is little short of a mir- acle. | | Most respectfully yours, Stafford King See that fine looking fellow going down the street?

AUSTRIANS FIGHT AT CALUMET One Badly Slashed About the Neck aud Shoulders and Shirt Torn Off—Their Names Not Learned. From Iron Index, Marble. As a rule, Marble is a very law. abiding community and when pay day comes around each month, the only excitement is in the stores and oth- er business establishments, when cus- tomers liquidate their monthly in- debtedness, a large portion of busi- ness on the range being done in this manner. However, Perica Kolungia and Em- mir Lopata saw fit to disturb the peace and quiet of our village last Friday evening by indulging in un- seemly conduct. It seems that the two had been drinking together up town and when they arrived at the camp, which is conducted by Lopata’s brother, Kolungia commenced feeling strong and he let off a little super- fluous energy by breaking a mirror and juggling some of the furniture. Lopata remonstrated with him and then, of course, they quarreled. Ko- lungia says that Lopata struck him first and Lopata says in turn that Kolungia made the first pass at him. Anyhow, Kolungia got busy with a) knife, which he inserted in Lopata’s right side, with disastrous results, naturally to that gentleman. Dr. Glyer dressed Lopata’s wound, which is not serious and Kolungia was lodged in the village bastile. Cutting Up At Calumet. Two Austrians, whose names we were unable to learn, proceeded to imbibe too freely at Calumet Friday evening and as a result they got quarrelsome. They attempted to mix matters in one of the saloons, but were invited to go outside. They | dia and wandered up the street, still jn a heated discussion. They finally decided to finish up the matter with a physical discussion and one, find- ing he was getting a shade the worst of it, used a knife, slashing up the neck and shoulders of his companjon and ripping his shirt off. None of the cuts were dangerous and no com- plaints were made to the authorities. Dr. Larson, the eye specialist, will make his next regular visit to Grand Rapids on usual dates the 15th and 16th of every month. All those having defective eyes or in need of the proper service for the fitting of glasses, are cordially invited to call at Hotel Pokegama the 15th and 16th of every month.

Filer and Alice L. Spafford Married While Visiting Supt. and Mrs. McGuire. The Northeast Experiment farm was the scene of a very pretty wedding | Saturday afternoon, when Frederick | Leighton Pepper, of St. Paul, was quietly married to Miss Alice Spaf- Yord, of Green Bay, Wis. The young people came to Grand | Rapids to spend their vacation, di- viding their time between the Wa- bana lake summer resort and the McGuire home at the farm. It was | their intention to be married at Min- meapolis, at a later date, but they were so impressed with the natural beauty of the country that they de- cided to hasten it in order to give it am appropriate setting. The Bpsicopal ring service was us- ed by Rev. J. G. Larson, rector of the church of the Holy Communion, who performed the ceremony, and Miss Loretta Doran played Lohen- grin’s Wedding march. After the ceremony, a short program of appro- priate music was rendered by Miss Doran and Miss Bossard, who is an old friend of the bride, the young ladies both belonging to the alumni of Downer college, Milwaukee. A wedding supper with covers for nine was then served. The groom is assistant secretary and treasurer of the St. Paul Brdige & Terminal Co., and the bride is a popular young lady from Minneapo- lis. Mr, and Mrs. Pepper left on Mon- day afternoon for Minneapolis, but before their departure made arrange- ments to purchase some land in Itasca county on which to erect a summer home. THE MARR FAMILY TO MINNEAPOLIS Mr. C. H. Marr and family — will | | move to Minneapolis to live during | the fall and winter. Ralph and Will Marr will enter the state university and now that Mr. Marr has dispos- ed of his retail mercantile business in Grand Rapids the family will find it more agreeable and advantageous to make that city their home during | the time the boys are attending the U. \C. H. Marr was one of the early business men of Grand Rapids and one of her leading citizens for near- ly a quarter of a centuny. He has been identified with the growth of |this town for so many years that he seems to be a part of its life and progress. He has been a successful business man as a merchant and now | that he has added to his other pos- sessions a valuable iron property lo- | cated southwest of town, which pays him a handsome yearly royalty, _ be- | |sides being a heavy real estate own- jer, he is able to withdraw from ac- tive business and feel that he is se- cure from the proverbial wolf. The people of Grand Rapids will regret lcellent family, notwithstanding the jassurance that they will at least pend their summers heic and con- |tinue to regard this place as_ their | | real home. THE GOUNTY FAIR PREMIUM LIST OUT. The list of premiums, rules and | | regulations of the Itasca County fair | are published in today’s Herald Re- | view. The list has been carefully | revised and’ is calculated to meet the requirements to the best possible ad- vantage. Those interested) should read it over carefully. AN ATTRACTIVE WINDOW DISPLAY The exhibit in the show windows of the Itasca Mercantile store has attracted more than ordinary atten- tion the past few days. It is the artistic creation of M. A. Halvorsen, who has charge of that work for the Itasca store . The approach of the hunting season brought out a gun display in the south windoow that is enough to fire the imagination and call to the wilds almost any sports- man. The arrangement of guns, etc., set off with a fine collection from the taxidermy of Wm. Weitzel could not easily be improved upon. Other departments of the big store are represented with excellent taste in the north window, ladies furnishings, ete., being brought out prominently. ‘PUBLIC SCHOOLS | grades. - SUPERFLUOUS HAIR, MOLES, WARTS Permanently removed by electricity. specialist, expert operator.

Mr. Passard recently purchas- ed nineteen forties of land near Good- land, and proposes to make a model farm of it. There is now about six-} ty acres of the tract cleared, and it} two hundred acres as rapidly as pos- sible. The land is ideally located and adapted to stock raising and dairying, and Mr. Passard is now on ‘a trip to buy two car loads of cattle for beef and dairy use. It will be his aim to make the Goodland dis- trict more famous than ever by de- veloping a model farm, on a scale of sufficient size to attract attention to the wonderful wealth that is to be had from the soi] of Itasca, coun- ty. Display of Fine Millet. W. F. Fulton brought in a display of three varieties of millet last Sat- urday, cut from the farm of Fred K. Yost, southeast of town, that will be exhibited with the Itasca county dis- play at the state fair. He delivered the lot to Secretary Sisler of the county fair association, who pronounc- ed it to be as fine as any he ever saw. The land on which this millet was grown was only cultivated by being “dragged” three times, with- out plowing. Mr. Fulton harvested the crop for Mr. Yost, and says’ there was a uniform stand throughout the field and the yield will be con- siderably above the average grown in other sections, according to sta- tistics. For the production of millet northeastern Minnesota cannot be excelled by any section of the Unit- ed States. “, 0. 6 ? ee iD a , ; 6 « : AO E 9, iN FH, U Oh- I'l get warm all righ lever el home.
