ters, he said that the day was not far dis
tant when every particle of power these
streams could deyefop would be made use
of and transmitted to factories, and keep
many men employed all the year around
He spoke of the economy OF electric
power in mining. He said that no power
that could be developed was SO economic
al in mining operations as electricity.
1t was so easily conveyed, and often
power was required in inconvenient
places, therefore it was the best agent
known for working mines. The electric
drill, which by the way, is a Utah inven-
ton, am told is designed to revolution
ize mining operations. 1t is SO effective
and rapid that the hardest rock can be
drilled and mined with ease, and speed is
great factor in economic mining.
There are great many things in this
great electric building, to which / would
like to call attention, but have not the
time to devote to it, as an accurate de-
scription of the many electrical devices
here on exhibition, would require several
days of careful, painstaking study.
would advise everyone, however, who
desires to keep up with the age, not To
neglect the electrical building when they
visit the exposition.

The Widest River in the World.

Were it not for decided difference in
the color of the water you would never
know when the Atlantic is left aud the
Rio de la Plata entered. The high-roll
ing, white capped pillows are the same,
and no land is visible. for the great river
which James Diaz de Soils discovered is
125 miles wide at its mouth, though an
average depth of only fifty feet. Sebas-
tian Cabot, who arrived in the year 1920,
soon after the natives had murdered poor
Don Soils, dubbed it River of Silver, not
on account of it's color, which might
have won for it the more appropriate
name of Golden River or River of Choco-
late, but because he had wrested quanti-
ties of silver from the Indians who
swarmed it's banks, and naturally i'm
agined that an abundance of precious
metal remained in the vicinity. In point
of fact the terms Argentina and Rio de la
Plata--both meaning the same thing with
reference to silyer-are misnomers Tor 10
metals of any sort, precious or otherwise,
are found along the banks of the mighty
stream or anywhere near it, and the scan
ty argentiferous deposits in the hills OF
the interior have never been worked. The
Indians aforesaid probably obtained the
silver which so excited Spanish cupidity
from Peru and Bolivia by some primitive
system uf internal commerce known only
to themselves. To this day metals do not
figure in the export of the adjacent coun
tries-Uruguay Paraguay and Argentina
but such prosaic ARTICLES as hides and tai
low, horns, woods, preserved and refrig-
Grated meat, etc.-for their wealth lies
solely in grazing facilities and fertile soil

BEFORE JUSTICE GEE.
A Quarrel on the Avenue-Minor Offend-
ers Fineo.

The day in the police court presented
besides few small cases one case excit-
ing some interest-that of Eva Wise,
colored.
Gus Anderson, Richard Coon and James
Kennel were fined the usual S5 for plain
DRINKS.
Thomas Anderson, arrested for obtain
ing meal under false pretenses from E.
L. Hughes, was found guilty and fined So.
n. Carter was tried on the charge OF
vagrancy for living in the house of i'll
fame of Miss May on Franklin avenue,
was found guilty and sent up for fifteen
days. John Green, his partner in the
case, will be tried on Tuesday.
The case of Eva Wise, colored, charged
with using abusive language toward
Emma Williams, was taken up at 2
O'Clock. The defendant came into court
with a resplendent smile on her face and
clothed in more Respondent raiment. On
being called tc the stand the prosecuting
witness swore that the defendant made
faces at her and laughed at her and called
her names. The defendant, however
swore that her remarks were excelled in
abusiveness by the complainant. Several
other witnesses were called, one of whom
testified that she did not pay any atten-
ton to quarrels on 1.-THE avenue,' as
there were quarrels going on there all the
time. There was great deal of undigni-
fed sparring between counsel, anC
finally the court determined that both o
the women were in the wrong and fined

GRAND CONCERT AT sALTAIR.
MIR. Weihe and MIR. Arnold to Appear on

Mr.. Weihe and MIR. Arnold to Appear on
the Same Programme.
There isnothing small about the Saltsir
people. When they set out to Go a thing
they do it on grand scale.
Usually one violinist of Willard
Weihe's reputation is considered sui
ficient for any programme. Not so with
the Saltair folks, who no sooner con-
tracted with Mr.. Weihe than they set out
to engage Mr.. Hubert Arnold, who has
aroused considerable of q following
among our musical critics.
This ssdouble'' action created consider
able alarm among the one-horse concert
managers, who could not conceive the
idea of placing two artists of such pro-
nounced merit on the same programme.
These fussy people started out to get a
petition asking that the Saltair people be
restrained from giving their patrons too
much of good thing.
Mr.. Weihe was somewhat effected at
first, but when he met Mr.. Arnold, and
found that the s'pugllistic contests was
all the invention of pugnacious
meddier and busybody whose musical
horizon is not broad enough TO bring any
two musical stars in conjunction without
serious disturbance he at once came out
and said that he would Keep his engage
ment with the Saltair people.
The inauguration of Sunday concerts Al
Saltair will furnish our people with mu
steal recreation of high order and helI
to educate the masses to a better appre-
citation of the divine art.
In addition to Mr.. Weihe and Arnold
the Metropolitan quartette will be pres
emit. This excellent musical organiza
ton is composed of Bert Ravens, r. J
Thomas, Mr.. Cromett and Willard
Squires.
Mrs. Bessie Dean Allison is also en-
gagged to sing solo, and there is pros
pect that r. G. Easton will be present.

and accompanist.

1t is with much regret that The HERALD
publishes the following letter, which will
shortly put a stop to the educational en-
terprise just inaugurated by the Utah
Britannica Co. The offer which this com
pany makes for introducing the complete
Encyclopaedia Britannica is certainly the
most remarkable literary offer ever made
to the people of Utah, and its continu-
ance could not but result in the most
beneficial way to our citizens. A well
posted man usually makes the most of
his opportunities, and with such a fasci-
mating and instructive library in the
homes of our people, not only would
every citizen become possessed of the best
possible means for self-information upon
every topic which interests him, but the
growing generation would naturally be
led into higher plane of thought and
into broader field of action.
