a Fine Painting

Without ostentation, or even the
amount of advertising which might
properly be INDUCED in an enterprise of
far more moderate merit an allegorical
painting entitled Eternal Day" has
been placed upon exhibition in this city.
1t is truly grand conception beauti-
fully placed upon canvas. Not often
do our citizens have an opportunity Of
seeing so fine specimen of art. One
thiag which adds to the remarkable
character of the painting is that it Is
the work of a young lady who was born
in the wilds of Washington J erritory
and reared in Oregon, region about as
far from wha!Sare deemed arr centers
anu circles as one could we'll get on this
continent. Miss Adele B. Carter is her
name. The picture illustrates a poem,
written by the artist, having the same
title, and she recites il in the style of a
finished eloeutionist.
An admission fee of % cents is
charged to see the picture, but lovers CT
art will not regret the time and expen:
of seeing it The place of exhibition is
ia West First South Stleet.

A LIrrLE PALACE.
The Ross Drug Store in the Scott
Auerbach Building.

The drug store recently opened by
Mr.. l.. F. Ross in the handsome north
store of the Scott-Auerbach building is
perfect little palace, both as concerns
architectural beauty and the class OF
goods carried. The neat. convenient
appointments and the tasty arrange
ment of show cases, with their wealth
of attractive article, make it a place
worth visiting. 4.r.. -. ..
Mr.. Ross is a new conner, but he has
shown his confidence ia Salt Lake by a
heavy investment, and he is so rapidly
making new friends that he will soon
place himself where he belongs, in the
rauks of our solid and reliable business
men.
He carries full line of drugs of every
description aad purposes to make a
reputation on the purity and freshne -
of his medicines. Mr.. A. J. Lewis, who
is a thorough pharmacist. has charge
of the prescription desk. A full line of
the best domestic and imported cigars
is always on hand.
AS a sort of a side issue, Mr.. Ross

wall papers, specially upon which he
has made a big reputation. ne will
cater to-irst- class trade in all his de-
partments and all he asks is fair
trial. He'll guarantee the rest.

Another Victim.

The little 4-year-old son of W. W.
Calder, mention of whose sickness has
been made in THE HERALD several
times, died yesterday afternoon
diphtheria. The little boy was taken
ill on Monday last and on Tuesday it
was discovered that diphtheria had de-
veloped. On Thursday the child Wa
expected to ole at any minute, but the
next day there was an apparent change
for the better. Yesterday, however, the
treacherons disease reasserted it's power
and death ensued. Though still but
babe he was bright little fellow, and
all the happiness he carried into the
home of his parents is now gone, save
only the fond remembrance of his short
life. Mr.. and Mrs Calder will have the
sympathy of all in their great bereaVe-
ment.
The funeral will leave the residencsat
10 O'Clock this morning, and a short
service will be held at the grave.

that such reservoirs, however solidly

THE REAL ESTATE BOARD.
The Business Transacted at the
Meeting Last Night.

The reguls meeting of the Real Es-
tate Board was held in the Office of Kel-
sey & Gillespie last night, the rooms of
the Chamber Of Commerce being used
by meetings of the board of directors
of that body. After the reading of the
minutes, the president stated that he
had submitted the question of the time
taxes become lien on real estate to the
city attorney and others. It was de-
cided that property is assessed accord
ing to its value on January LIST, but that
did not make the taxes due on that date.
The application of M. K. Parsons was
submitted, after which W. II. Sells,
chairman of the railroad committee,
reported that they had co-operated
with the committee appointed by the
Chamber of Commerce and the amount
of subscriptions now secured was in the
'ghhoraood of $50 000 with$25 ,0C0more
in sight and $40 900 to rustic for TO COM
plete the $l65 0J0 they had started out
to secure. Mr.. Sells stated that the
committee was in good spirits and
would get there if sole leather holds
out. They had plenty of moral sup
port, but what was needed was some
thing substantial.
The committee appointed to secure
room in which to hold the regular
meetings of the Real Estate Board,
presented the following communica-
ton from the Chamber of Commerce:
Whereas, This board of directors lecsg-
nj ses in the Salt Lake Real Estate Board,

The advertising committee requested
further time: which was granted. Ass
Col. Murray then introduced Geo. II :.
Scott, who made some remarks on the

The Influence OF Mountain Forests


The following paragraph appears in
a paper recently read by Mr.. Henry
Gannett, Geographer of the United
States Geological Survey, before the
Philosophical Society of Washington:
although forests have no influence
upon precipitation, yet they do exert
certain economic influence. Without
increasing rainfall, they, in common
with other forms of vegetation, econo-
mize that which falls, retaining it
somewhat as reservoir, and retaining
its RAPID descent into streams. In this
way, too, forests tend to reduce the
magnitude of floods and to regulate the
flow of rivers, thus preventing disaster
and improving navigation. This reten-
ton of the rainfall is, however, accom-
panied by rapid evaporation from the
leaf surface or the forest, whereby a
considerable proportion of the rainfall
returns to the atmosphere without
reaching the earth. On this account
it is urged and think with reason. th t
in II arid region, which is dependent
for irrigation upon its streams, it Is
advisab able to cut away as rapidly as
possible all the forests, especially upon
the mountains. where most of the rain
falls. in order that os much of the pre-
cipitation as possible may be collected
in the streams. This Will cause not a
decrease IN the annual now of the
streams, as commonly supposed, but
an increase, coupled with a greater con-
centration of the flow in the spring
months, and result in rendering fertile
q greater area of the arid region. It
may be added that the forests in the
arid region are thus disappearing nth
commemorate rapidity."
There are two reasons why Mr..
Gannett's sweeping denial of the value
of mountain forests cannot be accepted.
In the first place, the fact is still to be
demonstrated that the expiration from
the leaves of trees exceeds in volume
the evaporation from the unprotected
surface of the ground stripped of the
same trees, the evaporation. of course
increasing in proportion to the drynes
of the atmosphere. The truth of Mr.
Gannett's statement can only be proved
by measuring the total annual flow OF
two streams with watersheds of similar
extent and contour. and Influenced by
precisely similar elm attic conditions
one cleared and the other forest-coy-
cred. Such record. we believe, ha!
never been kept. But until such 8
method is adopted to demonstrate the
soundness of his views, it is prudent tc
mold to the well esta blished fact that
he evaporation from the surface OF
Gle red land larrelv exceeds that from
ground covered with forests.
The increased flow of streams, during
the early spring months, must be stored

Jack THE RIPPER"
Has He an Apostle in Salt Lake
CitV2

The sensational cutting ARRAY which
occurred week ago this morning and
is still shrouded in mystery, coupled
with at least one other equally as
mysterious, though not so vicious, and
rumors of several other similar occur
rences of late, has led people to wonder
whether the famous "Jack the Ripper
has not struck this city. and hereafter
every corner bowler who strikes town
with his patent medicines will be
suspiciously watched lest he turn out to
be the only original DR.. Tumblety.
The particulars of the

have already been published as far as
they have come to light, but there was
a similar occurrence on Monday night,
which has so far been kept very quiet.

Gus and he is now almost we'll.
There was a rumor about town last
night of a mysterious cutting affray on
the Stase road, but as it could not be
verified it is possibly only runor.
Tbs idea that
THE ORIGINAL JACK
is with us must be secuted, but there
are many who believe that he has an
apostle in our midst. 1t is a we'll
known fact that the minds of many
people ar so strongly Influenced by
stories of such horrors as the White
chapel murders that they feel an ire
sistible impulse to follow in the foot
steps of the perpetrator. 1t is rot only
the mind of the small boy that Is af-
fected by fiction or facts of
the dime-novel stripe; they often
take hold upon the mind of an
adult so strongly that the desire to per-
petrate some awful crime grows upon
them aud cannot be shaken Oft until
they have accomplished the deed or
have been foiled in the attempt. So
the events of the past week have led
some to believe that some ambitious
Salt Laker is attempting to emulate the
only Jack. Those who advance this
theory say We may look for some in
teresting developments before very
long.
