A struc ture to accordingly bulltf in the form of a semicircle 600 feet long, 15 feet " ; wide and 170 feet high connecting the university hall of philosophy, with the hall of languages. The object in erect : tag the Hall of Fame was to have a f structure which" should stand for all time as an incentive to the ambition . of youth, the contents of which should present to them the best examples of all that was noblest, most helpful and encouraging in American history.; trr-. . u ..Within thft colotinnrio of th hniMin. were-placed 150 Vnels, each 2 b'y'i feet, to bear the names, of those' who are deemed the, leaders in philosophy, . philanthropy, law, statesmanship, llt- . erature,' art, education, invention and public service. One . hundred leading men t the day were chosen to select candidates for this Hall of Fame, and every Ave years they-' ballot upon . names to be lmperlshably fixed In the building., As the names are selected tbey are engraved Upon brass tablets, which are placed in the panels built in the structure for that purpose. In 1000 . twenty-nlue ; iiawes - were chosen for the Hall of Fame, eleven (names In 1905 and eleven this year, making fifty-one names thus far select- i ed. The first name selected wn3 that of George Washington. He received the, unanimous vote of the college electors. "-' Others 'chosen in , 1000 and 1905 include Lincoln, Webster, Clay, Jefferson, "Adams, ; Franklin and fa mous Jurists, literary lights, warriors, Inventors, philanthropists, orators and ; educators '.".".-. ; - Among tlfls illustrious company of American Immortals"; several, vonjen were deemed worthy bf a place.

Emma Wlllttrd, who planned the higher education of her sex and fought for it until it became an ac complished faqt, and Mary Lyon, one of the most successful and progressive . educators of all time. ; - ; ' This year the names of two other women have, been chosen for the Hall of Fame Harriet Beecher Stowe and Frances E. Willard. "i The nine men selected are Edgar; Allan Foe, Oliver Wendell , Ilolines, Roger Wil liams, James Fenluiore Cooper, Pull lips Brooks, ' Wlllinm Cullen Bryant, Andrew Jackson, Goorge Bancroft and John Lothrop Motlcr.. The .voto : for Mrs. Stowe .Is remarkable, '.Inasmuch as no one received such a' majority In this election. t Cd thi oceasiuu uo member of the soldier group or the scientist or Jurist group cewjved flfty one votes, which 'Id tlau: number re quired for ratification." ' :- N Eleven bronze, tablets to bear the names chosen will be designed, with an appropriate quotation. Each tablet will have upon it a Juo,tAtlon from the Dtterapi es of 1 the person, in . whose honor it will be dedicated. The formal unveiling will take place, in October, " ion. : y.V ': :. When the new names have been add- d the number In the authors' corner will far exceed the number In the statesmen's corner and the soldiers' . corner, vhlch gives added weight to the theory of tho pen and the eword. Cortou Incidents of this year's bal loting were thai Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller of the United States su preme court died a week after bis bal Ibt was received, and United States Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa died exactly the jsame; length of time it-... - ; after his ballot came In. &.nntnr tv.hi ver had been an elector only since March, when he was chosen to fill 1be place of Edward Egglekton. -- One of the noteworthy facts of this year's election Is that the historian Motley pained four votes over, tt 190j elec tion. whi!e the htFtorian Park man Joet two votes. One of the notable gains is that of Phillips Brooks, whose vote in the Ave years increased from 49 to CO, although no competitor in the same group has been elected In the meantime. - ' GREAT SALT LAKE. Art Imwente Fresh . Water Sa Sam Thousands of Ytars Ago, - In glacial times Great Salt lake was a magnificent fresh water lake the ize of Lake Huron-that is. about 18.000 square milesand ' had its outlet luto tne Port Neuf. the Snake and the Co lumbia rivers. This was at least 10.000 years ago. but Ince that time Jhe cli mate has become arid, and not enouirh water hag fallen over the Great basin to Supply; that lost by evaporation. Consequently the lake has ceased to flow from Its outlet and gradually dried up Trora over a thousand feet deep to fifteen feet and from 18.000 miles in area to less than 1.700! - It Is now seventy : miles , long and about thirty wide. , but is beautiful sOUand la the borne of "myriads of oiru ana otner -waterlowl.'; It is tne great resort of the people of Utah, for from 3.000 to 5.000 visit its shores daily in the summer, and many bathe In its waters. The lake contains about i.uw.uuu,uw tons .01 salt., ; . When the lake la hixrh the salt Is so diluted that It has gone down to 11 per cent When It is low, as, It was hot many rears aeo. It reached safnra- tidn which for the mixed ingredients of the water is 36 per cent.' . u j There Is nothing mysterious about It any more than there would be about a teacup wcvitn . a teaspooniul of salt in the bottom. If ; a tablespoonful of water were put in' the cup on the Bait It would ta3te 'very salty, but if the cup were filled to the brim with water It would riot.' '';p"'" ; vv' 'Vv i. The salt has come from the water of the rivers . flowing Into it since - it ceased to flow from its outlet. Ail river water tontnins salt, and the an nual evanorfltion of from two to" five cubic miles, of this water leaves large quantities of salt behind, and so it baa accumulated for thousands of years. v ; y A j- DREAM JOURNEY. :0 It Was Very Long One, but It Took ' 1 Only a Few Minutes. ; "Dreams are" curious things," re marked i'; the amateur psychologist "Time does not seem to enter Into their composition at all. For instance, the other day 1 was sitting on the porch of a hotel with a friend of mine smoking after lunch. It was a drow. sy day, and conversation lagged. Pres-' ently I saw my friend nodding in his chair. '. He had dozed off, holding bis lighted cigar in his left hand, which was folded over bis right. His left hand related, and the end of the cigar came in gentle contact with the right band.

Additional orders ,were placed here yesterday for 25. 000 bushels of first grade barley to be shipped immediately to Chicago firms. This brings the total eastern con signments up to 200,000 bushels, or nearly one-third of last year's; crop.
