Tim answer, riven br "th brightest boy
n th clam," wa Illuminating. He said
eit I am hMj of my story.
We'll have to go hack a few centuries;
back to im, to be exact Those were the
years of rr Unions and civil turmoil In Eng
land; the years of renewed Interest In the
problenm of human freedom; for tn;nd
tardy and muI. It was the year of the com'
In of the Pilgrims to the eh ore of New
England. An1 with them cam John
Chipman, forebear to the Chlpmans of tfil
country; tha common forefather of tho'e
h live In Iowa. Kansa', Mlcsourt, N
branska, Illinois and throughout all of tha
middle west. II wan a dlesenter from the
Meals of thoea Pttiart Java and camo to
this country seeking th freedom of unex
plored lands. Tears arter, on of his (Treat
grandchildren was to do the earn. Ths
tattle genealogical history or tha Chipman
family here at American For relate how
turty a character was that ef John Chip
man. An earnest disciple of untrammelled
thought, political and religious, h was also
devout believer 1n Ood and an earnest
worshipper of Dlvtn mercy. Half adven
turer; with tha temperament of the dartns:
aplorer; half preacher, John Chapman
Ski on wandered away from tha folds of New
England, his steps turning northward to
tha outposts of English speaking civilisa
tion. Wherever tie went h left s memory
f his name; strong, stalwart earnest, his
eharacter Is that of a man who walked
aJojs. and feared not.
Early Joined the Mormons.
Amons thorn who war tha first to arn
hrace ths belief of tha Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Lay Paints was Stephen
Chlprr.an. (hen a reMdent of N'auvoo, III.
"With tha Imleratlon of the people of that
hellsf from Illinois. Stephen Chipman, like
his rreat grandfather of th days of the
Restoration, was prominently Identified.
With the second body of theie picneers he
left Illinois and. making th tlx months'
Journey overland, finally came upon Palt
Lk City, t'tah, In tha spring of 1S4S.
With him oama his foirr sons and two
daughters and tha entire family later
located on tha American Fcrk river, less
than two miles from Utah lake, one of th
moat beautiful bodies ef fresh water In all
tha IntermountaJn west.
Aooordlng to the custom of that time,
now no longer practiced, three of these
sons had. two or more wives. Tha daugh
ters also married and thus a chain of
posterity was established which has re
sulted la a family numbering more than
800 Chlpmans, the greater number of whom
yet Uva In and around American Fork.
Tha principal store in tha town, tha larg
est bank, tha lumber and coal yard, tha
flour mill, the electric light and power
plant are all owned by the Chlpmans. At
tha head of the family today Is Stephen t,.
Chipman, named for his grandfather, And
he la a director in tha reservoir company.
In the Brlgham Young university, In the
Chipman Mercantile company and also the
manager and treasurer of this great de
partment store. It has nlna departments
and last year did a gross business of
2S5.000. This year ha says It will go over
the IMO.OOO mark. The bank of which he
Is a director had deposits exceeding $600,00),
with almost MOO.OOO In loant. Ha Is presi
dent of the Utah County Light and Power
Co., of th Cedar Valley Development com
pany, now farming J3.000 acres of land, and
of th Utah Lake Irrigation company. He
has been a county commissioner, a repre
sentative from his district Jn th state
legislature, a city councilman and a school
trustee. He Is a great big man. brosd.
physically and Intellectually. His various
affairs are so organised as not to take all
his personal attention, but to leave him
time for his church work and his social
duties. Hn Is the president of Alpine
f-'take of tha Mormon church, a high ec
clesiastical position. And everything that
he takes hold of has been and is a success.
What the nay Answered.
"What Is the population of American
Fork?" aked the Provo school teacher.
And the brightest boy in the class an
swered: "Ch'pmans."
Stephen L. Chipman is tt years of age
and a grandfather twlc In the same place.
He has lived at American Fork his entlrs
life, sav th time h w a student at tha
Brlgham Toung university at Provo, th
third city In the stata of Utah. Ha is a
country toy, pure and. simple, sired of
country boys from the time of the Pilgrim
Fathers. II 1 an American In every
thought and at of his being, alert, snter
. prising with as old-fBshloned sense of
honesty, truth and right living. According
to tho tenets of th churoh of which h Is
an high exemplar, he neither drinks alco
holic liquors, tea nor coffee, nor does he
eruoko. It may be said that h does not
know th tast of any physical Intoxicant
Th result Is th most potent argument for
prohibition that may be adduced. His busi
ness Is managed with th acumen that
Shedd give to Marshall Field A Co., and
th comparison Is not half bud. II has not
a grey hair In hi head and nervous
'spells" are unknown to him. II Is on of
the most ardent reliever In th future of
Utah and of Ameiioiui Fork that Is to bo
found In a day s Journey throughout tha
whole of this Mormon stata,
HK Ilea Dors Held Bark.
"Utah has never had Its share of west
ern development." said Mr. Chipman.
This ha been due. partly to th prejudice
against living In and amid th Mormons
and partly to the conxervatism of our own
people. In ths beginning It was the In- I
lntlon of President Brlsham Young to
found hr an asylum; a plac of refuge for
his people. W had been driven from
pillar to post throughout Missouri and
Illinois; w had been persecuted: Urlvtn.
killed and slaughtered by people as fanaua,
to say the leat. In the practice of Uislr
religion as w wer In purs. And when I In LSil a4 cam to this country when he
President Brlgham Younir came hi.ru hi.'wm i . , ,j
la reported to have said
" 'If they will give us ten years her,
wo will ask of thm no odds.' "
"By this he meant that we would then
t strong enough to defend ourselves
against nub vlulence. of which we hud
boen th victims in th tniddl west. Vou
can Imagine that after the treatment w
had w did not feel like taking thos asm
pop, nor tli uus of thstii to our bosom.
Perhapa some of our people gave hatred,
If they did It was only to be expected as
that was what had been dealt out tuem.
And so w bau ben loth to accept sn ang
ers at their own valuation; we hv been
backward about InMtlng those oilier peo
ple to eutn to us. Now, however, w are
elwnging out attitude; as th world i.
ehansmg toward us. Liberality toward us
begets libtrality toward others. This hss
en so, always.

"Mattrlally th state Is not to b ex
ualled by any state In Uie wast. It Is a
fact that th tt of Utah provide every

great Irrigation projects and plans for re

Commercially Utah Is almost equally di
vided between those who produce and those
who consume.
"Take this valley and the district around
American Fork, for example. Within six
miles of whers you sit thers are beds of
rock from which the finest quality of
Portland cement may bo ground, within one
mile of those beds there Is a power plant
producing 4,600 horsepower; enough to turn
the wheels of a dosen plants of ths six
required to make of this rock a cement that
will not be excelled In this country. The
people of this city would help in the estab
lishment of such a plant Inasmuch as th
contractors of Salt Lake City, with a popu
lation of 10C.000 people, lens than thirty miles
away are now bringing in all of their ce

not fewer than 20,000 acres of tho finest

PAYSON, Vlah. Dec, J. -(Specie. I.) -George
Uertclson of the firm of Bertelson
Uro. of this place. Is an lowan who has
made good In Utah; enviously and envlabjy
good. Mr. Beltelstn was born la Denmark
AJited to th natur
ally admirable character of the Dan h
Amer can. Mr. XJertelson, who cam to thi
country so young, has acquired the enter
prise and the hustle of the natlv born
American. When h first cams to this
country he localtU on a farm near Dennl
son, la., where he lived until about 11
yoars of a. Then he removed to Lin
coln Center, Kan., where' he had his homo
foi ten years. Dur n this time he was a
travel ng salesman, and a such acquired a
liberal education In mercantile methods
and ths problems of American merrhandla
ing. "or four years he lived at Denver
Colo., after which he removed to alt LnUe
City. During this t me he had traveled and
lived ;n California, and afier four years'
residence In) Suit Lake Citv h came to
this place to go into business with h S
trother. The firm Ii prospering to an abat
ing degree. On a capital of KOt the an
nual volume of bus nass exceeds f il).OU, sni
the profits are proportionally satisfactory.
Air. bertelson has lived all over the west.
He kaow the Ut and the worst of it.
He says that In all the great section west
of th Mississippi river there is none to
compare with the Itah valley. With the
reclamation of the 60.f) acres of fertile
farm lands which ths I'mted Slates gov
ernment is reclaiming In this valley, th
value of lands and businesses will grow
over night. Mr. Uertelson thinks ther is
years ther will be an opportunity for
some man or men to poxk almost 4.000,000
boxes of apples for tho canned goods trade.
This, of course, will stop the Importation
of that much canned stores from eastern
packing companies. American Fork Is th
ideal location for this sort of industry, in
somuch as we havo two transcontinental
railways passing through our city and
Utarti lake, thirty mllej long, at our very
door. Seven cities In this county, with
an approximate population' of 80,000 people
means a close, Inexpensive market for such
wares.
"Then again the United States govern
ment Is reclaiming 60,000 acres of fertile
farm lands in this county. This land will
support a population not at this time cal
culable. It will mean the Increasing of land
values here by over 18,000.000. There Is not
a chance that this will not corns to pa-.
This country right now offers mors oppor
tunities for the young man, the capitalist
tho man with an Investment to make than
any other section of ths whole new west
tai-ch Factory Needed.
"Right now w ar most aagar to secure
the location of a starch factory at this
place. Wo raise more potatoes hers than
any othsr section n the west Wo havo
well authenticated Instances where 600
bushels of potatoes havo been rallied on a
single acre, year In and year out Some
say that 600 bushels Is a good average, but
to bo conservative, the man who docs .tot
get 300 bushels to tho acr year after year
la not doing well. The record in this
county is where one of our men raised W0
In South Omaha not to pay his attorney,
J. M. McFarland, tha 1400 they raised for
their fellow countryman's defense. Mr.
Macfarland has commenced a civil action
to collect tho sum. Arallca ordered th
Austrian who raised th money for his
defense to send it to his father In th old
country. Arallca since his arrest for the
double murder has sent his father $,S00.
When Judge Eatelle asked Arallca If ho
had anything to say why sentence should
not bo passed the Austrian, half weeping,
declared that he killed his fellows In self
defense; that his father is aged and blind;
that his brother was sick In the hospital
at the time of th killing, and h does not
know where ho Is; that he had to kill
Cancer aud Nlkollo to sava his own lifs,
else his loved ones would starve.
Tho Judx said all of that story was told
the Jury. "Thy did not believe you," ha
said, "and I don't Tou shou'd not have
killed those men.' Vou didn't have to. I
think there was no excuse."
County Attorney English suggested that
Arallca be given a life sentence. He said
it was for such crimes as these that the
btate legislature provided that the maxi
mum penalty tor second degree murdor
should be life Imprisonment
Attorney Macfarland said ho had filed a
motion for a new trial, but did not wish
to press it "I don't think ha stiowld be
tried again," h said. "1 should Uk to
