THE ELEVATOR QUESTION.
Two Interesting Questions on This
Important Subject.

Important Subject.
To the Editor of The Herald:
Salt Lake City, March 8, 1896.
1 was much interested to read in
your issue of Tuesday, the 3rd inst,
what appears like the first official or
authentic statement of the views of
our county commissioners on the 'ele-
vator muddle," as you call it.
l have little to say concerning the
view that Mr.. Roberts takes of this
matter, as it seems to me a fair and
unbiased one and considerably in the
line of common sense. He evidently
takes a business view of this matter
and does not wish to be a party to too
much experimenting, especially where
no saving Il first cost or cost of opera
ton is to be expected.
Mr.. Geddes report, however, is. to
put it mildly, a very legitimate object
of criticism. He processes to have be-
come violently enamored of a certain
electric elevator, known as the Sprague-
Pratt, and to justify this sudden and
peculiar attachment he cites six differ
ent excuses.
I say excuses" advisedly, for by no
reasonable straining Of meaning could
they be called arguments In fact
to be frank about the matter, they
have not even the merit OF being true
in any particular.
First-He says the expense of run
ming is small, $50 a month"; probably
less"
He does not, however, offer to pro-
duce a tender for furnishing the re-
quisite amount of power for a term Of
five years, say, on such a basis from
either of the power companies. A
schedule of one of the local companies
that l have before me quotes a rate
of $500 per month for 10-horse power
electric passenger elevator, so it may
be reasonably assumed that the charge

elevator purposes through the medium
of multiple sheaves shows that the de-
Signer of said machine could have had
no practical experience whatever with
electric machinery, or he would have
made some effort to accomplish his
object without the use of such a de-
vice. Ordinarily the recommendation
with the horizontal hydraulic machine
and the multiple SheaveS is the econ
omy of space thereby affected, but in
this celebrated electric elevator under
cOnsidera ton common sense is again
further outrag ed by an extraordinary
length of machine Thus, while every
possible disadvantage of the horizon
tai construction with multiple sheaves
is surely secured the one little merit
of it, viz: economy in space, is not
attained; in fact, this machine runs
to a still greater extreme in the OPP
poSite direction.
In applying electric power for pas
senger elevator purposes it is difficult
to do without the use of worm gearing
in some shape or another. For this
reason the common sense builders of
such machinery use it with only one
reduction of speed and in such pro-
portion as to give by that one reduc-
ton the speed of the car desired.
With the foregoing in mind it is
easy to appreciate at their true value
the oft-repeated claims of efficiency
and superiority made for the machine
in question. It also throws a still
more interesting light upon the
claimed superiority of electric power
in this particular instance as COM
pared with hydraulic power. The best
way to appreciate these points is to
consider for a moment the numbers
of reconversions of power involved in
both cases. I will therefore endeavor
to state them fairly and squarely as
they will naturally present themselves
to any mechanic.
1 will first say, before making this
comparison, that the question is not
affected by the use of electricity pro-
duced by water power unless said wa
ter power is owned and controlled bv
the party whose machinery it is used
to operate, because people having wa
ter. power especially those who have
perfected the transmission of Game
from the source of the power to the
point of employment, do not do so
without a proper margin of profit, and
usually establish their prices for same
as closely as possible on the basis of
the cost of power produced by steam :;
therefore. whether the electric current
used under this comparison comes
from water power station or from
a steam power station. it cuts no hg-
ure as far as the use is concerned.
The comparison will therefore be as
follows, beginning with the power en-
ployed at it's source in both cases,
which we will therefore trace back to
the steam boiler.

No Grounds for a Kick.

Some exceptions have been taken to
the article published in last weeks UNION
from the Rocky Mountain News. be-
cause the article suggested that popu-
lists in some states, whore the demo-
Gratis are superior in numbers and or
ganization might feel 1T their duty to
support the democratic nominee for
president providing that party declares
for free silver.
We published the article simply be-
cause it was from former democratic
paper which had joined the popullst
party on the silver issue alone and now
refused to return to that party because
it had been forced to declair for silver
we were pleased because we were to have
the support OF this, the greatest daily
west Of the Missouri river.
The suggestions mentioned we did not
consider, 1t was the endorsement OF our
party that we were pleased with We
want it distinctly understood that the
UNION stands just where it has always
stood, for the populist party straight
and have no intentions OF trying to
side-track or ANYTHING else other
than it has always done for the party.

WE NEED MONEY.

We must again remicd our read
ers that it is necessary to have
money in order to exist. We have
once before made call for little
cash from our subrcribers, but it
can not be said that the UNION has
made many such calls and we
would not do so now only we need
money badly and few subscribers
paying up, while it is not much to
them, means considerable to us.
We want the UNION to be in better
shape in the future than in the
past, as to news as we'll as general
reform literature, and this takes
money. Give US lift and we will
lift the paper. Let as many as
possible pay before the lst day of
july as we will need funds about
that time.

Abandoned Proprties.

IL. w. Phllllppl returned last week
to keystone from short business trip
to the Forthern Hills. The Mining Re
view, IN a column article on Mr.
Phillippi's visit, has the following to say
in regard to the object OF it: l.. W.
Phillippi OF Keystone, Pennington
county, spent the greater part OF last
week in the Northern Hills in the inter-
est OF Minneapolis and Philadelphia
men who have neglected mining interests
IN several OF the districts surrounding
Deadwood, and for which they paid
large sums OF money years ago, but sub
sequently showed no disposition to
promptly develop the ground. It now
appears, alter long silence and inactivity
they are arousing themselves to the be
lief that it might be just possible their
mining interests in the Black Hills would
had thev been attended to, have proven
eminently valuable.
1t further states that Mr.. Fhillippi
found that on most Of the claims no

and the ground had been relocated,
while on a few others. eastern owners
had continuously sent the $1O0 per year
to agents here who had pocketcd the
money and let the claims be relocated
by other parties. Upon reporting this
to the orlgin..,i owpers, Mr.. Philippi
was adyised by them to buy back, il
possible, those claims which made show
ings which warranted the Investment
This awakening interest, which many
eastern capitalists who had considered
their holdings in the Hills worthless, are
showing, IS certainly in encouraging sign
and proves that the value OF the Black
Hills mining interests, SO long underes
timated, Is at last being recognized by
the people OF the east.

here on the fourth. It is not yet known
what the program will. consist OF but it
is safe to say that something interesting
will be arranged to entertain and amuse
all who come. A COMMITTEES has the
matter in charge and will soon publish

think OF something other than the hard
fight for existence.

A DELEGATION OF, BUSINESS MEN
OF MINNESOTA COMING.
THE EASTERN ROAD IN VIEW.
They Will Look Over the Country to See
Whether a Railroad to ST. Paul and
Minneapolis Would be Paying Insti-
tution-Meeting of Teachers.

1t will be remembered that 4 number
OF business men from the various towns
in the Hills and several points In the
eastern part OF the state visited St.
Paul and Minneapolis last winter with a
view to interesting the business men OF
those cities in the construction of a rail
road between the twin cities and the
Hills. An organization was at that
time affected and since that time quite
a little quiet work has been gong on,
and now comes the news that the Hills
are to be visited soon by delegation Of
jobbers and business men from those
cities for the purpose OF acquainting
themselves with the inducements Offered
in TINS section for such road. We
hope that they have their eyes opened
IN such a way that the road will soon
be put under way.

At the time OF gong to press there has
been no nomination yet made by the
republican convention, but all dis
patches conceed McKinley's nominatio
and they also state that Levi P. Nor
ton OF New York will be the candidate
for yice-pre.ident, as this is the slate
agreed upon. Every thing points to q
gold standard platform and high pro-
lection. The convention assembled at
IL O'Clock on Tuesday and elected G. w.
Fairbanks OF Indiana temporary chair
man and c. w. johnson OF Minnesota
temporary secretary. When the con-
vention rea sssmbled on Wednesday,
Senator John M. Thurston OF Nebraska
was made permanent chairman. The

tween Irby aud Him.
The State Democratic Convention
met Wednesday in the State capitol.
The attendnnce was very large. SEN
ators Tillman and Irby and Governor
Evans, besides all the politicians of
the State, were in attendance. Irby,
rs chairman, called the convention to
order, Int made no speech. I. H.
McCalln was made temporary chairman.
The permanent organization was
effected by the election of A.
IL. Patterson, of Barnwcll, who
made u. brief speech, expressing the
hope that the convention would send
only delegates to G icago who would
represent the people of this State. He
spoke of tho great advance the cause of
free silver hos made, The convention,
ut the instance of Senator Tillmap, ap-
pointed committee of one from each
county to report q platform and con-
slider all resolutions. Another commit
tee on constitutional changes was APP
pointed. Numerous resolutions were
presented, all free silver from the

by Mr.. Fred Williams, was that they

The Tillmnn presidency resolution
was adopted by rising vote.
1rby warned the Reform faction
against boiling, and predicted ruin to
the party in the State, and to not only
white supremacy, but white civiliza-
ton, rs the breach would be made n
permanent one. He said that the
whole trouble was that the party was
good enough to elect Tillman Governor
twice, and to the Senate, but was not
good enough to elect him President.
Senator Iillman was bitter in his re-
ply and ascribed Irby's attack on him
to lrhy's fear for re. election. To this
lrby, who was seated at short dis
tance, gave the lie. Tillman's answer
was lost In the confusion Of cheers and
counter cheers that followed.
AT : n. M, the convention took re-
cess until September 1st. This is to
allow the convention to re-assemble in
case the delegation along with others
bolt the national convention.

1t appears that the State Board of
Control is not going to grant any more
privileges to hotels to exercise the
tourists rights. The board does not
like to revoke the privileges that have
been granted, but from what can be
understood there is little chance of any
further privileges being granted. The
beer privilege is likely to be bone Of
contention. The board, however, an
nounces that the two privileges already
granted in Columbia and Charleston
are all that are to be granted until a
thorough test is made. The beer priv
ilego is very profitable one for the
State. The beer that is brought into
the State for bottling has to bear the
certificate of the dispensary, and SO
there is n check against the retailer.
The State gets Is cents royalty on
every dozen of pints that is sold and
this IS without any expense to the
State. 1t is tho most money-making
part of the whole dispensary system.
