A Tribute to Brigham Young.

The ebitor of the Lander, (Wyo.)
Clipper, writing from Laramie, says:
A group of gentlemen at a hotel in
Laramie few nights ago were dis
cussing the question of who had done
the most for the west during the time
it had been settled. There were many
names brought I'D of men of great
force of character who had left their
impress on their states ana had in a
remarkable degree benefited the en-
tire west. Finally a gentleman who had
not participated in the conversation
but had been an attentive listener,
said: Gentlemen, 1 admit that you
have mentioned quite a number of il
surprised you have left out the one
man who has done more for the arid
country than all others com bined A
portance of relying on themselves for
life. The one great mind which grasped
the situation and filled the home

soil and workshops. That man was
Brigham Young: the man who led the
poor OF many lands across the desert
and on their arrival in the Salt Lake
valley taught them to depend upon
themselves and produce riches from
honest toll and laid the foundation for
l competency for thousands of his fol-
overs. Yon may despise his religion

1t is the fashion nowadays to apply
the term electrical to everything that is
: a little bit beyond the common ken and
very frequently the general public is
led TO believe in an electric motive
force which does not exist at all. Never
theless, when the industrial pursuits Of
the world are carefully scrutinized with
the idea of finding out the manner OF
their working, it is really wonderful to
see how many of them are now carried
on by electrical means. This. Of course,
does not mean the mere use of Il motor
to operate machinery, but processes,
which are essentially electric and de-
pend uDon the action of the current
for their successful manipulation. Elec-
tro-mechanicai devices can be num-
bered by the thousand; electro-chemi-
cal processes are almost as numerous;
in fact. it would seem that the whole
industrial world has been revolutonized
by the reduction of electric science 10
a practical basis. A review of the most
recent adaptations proves this to be
fact.
The introduction of eiectroiysi5 into
the domsin of chemistry is only another
argument in favor Of the inexactness of
the latter science. Many commercial
chemicals are now used by the world at
large at a much cheaper rate than for
merly, because of the economy of cleo
trical production. A large per cent of
the metals can now be reduced from
their ores bv electrolytic means. The

in business to treat tailings alone, take

the old zinc precipitation process seems
to have given place to electrolytic

central station operates four three
phase dynamos, with a combined

lions, from the station. At the mines

Continuing among the metals we find
that the desilverization of lead is being

ELECTRIC TANNING, ELECTRIC
OIL WELLS, ELECTRIC COTTON
PICKING AND ELECTRICITY d.
RECT FROM COAL.
Electric tanning is now being prac-
ticed, and an electric cotton picker is
on the market. There are several cleo
trio disinfecting processes and acety-
lcne gas is made by the current, but at
the bottom of the worn out Pennsvl-
valuable use. Old oil wells finally be-
come choked up with their own grease,
which Dermeates the rocks and finally
stops the flow. An electric cauterv
lowered into the wells meltS this grease
and starts the flow. Many old wells
have been reopened in this way. In
short, the recent industrial applica-
tons of electricity might be continued
indefinitely. They include everything
from the testing of car wheels to the
lighting of country houses, from the
medical uses of the X-rays to the sure
protection from bank burglars, from
the use of the current for boat propul-
sion to its use as soectacle-Droducer
in theatres. But enough has been said
TO show that even if the ether theories
do not enable us to communicate with
other worlds. or if an electrical fiving
machine is not forthcoming, or cleo
tricity is not vet produced directly
from coal, the current has yet done
enough for us in an industrial way to
supply us with more than sufficient of
this worlds goods for the rest of our
lives.
