LOOK OUT FOR THEM.
Two German Confidence r1en Sup
posed to be in This City.

Chief Drew is in receipt of letters
from Salt Lake City warning him
against two confidence men who have
been working the German residents of
that city and are supposed to be now
here
They are father and son, and in Salt
Lake went under the name of Kurth.
The father is described as a man be-
tween % and 60 years of age, with full
gray beard, stands about feet inches
Is lame, one leg having been broken,
and he cannot straighten it when sit
ting down, walks with slight stoop
and wears a stiff hat.
The son is 10 or 20 years old. has red
| cheeks of healthy appearance and is
about feet 10 inches in hight He is
slim in build and his shoulders are
slightly stopped Both are exceedingly
smooth takers, but they dress rather
poorly
They represent themselves TO be ma
chinists, millwrights and inventors. and
VIII take contracts to DO any kind of
| work around flour mills, breweries or
meat markets
They frequent German saloons where
free lunch is served. In Salt Lake
they are said to have beaten some of
| their fellow countrymen out of large
sums of money. besides stealing val
| uable patents cut of the safe of one of
their victims.
An envelope postmarked from here
in the handwriting of the elder Kurth
led to the suspicion that they were in
this city and staying, as is their wont,
in some cheap lodging house. They
will stand looking after, the Chief
thinks, though he has been unable to
locate them.

ment lies. and it is your mission to edu-
cate your school boards to an apprecia-
tion of your needs, and to make known
to your committees on the course
Of instruction, the necessity for better
ways and means. Are not our maga-
zines and school journals full Of the
work which is being done, and the new
methods which are being used in all de-
partments of education?
If you cherish your enthusiasm, keep
yourself in touch with what is being ac-
complished and let nothing deter you
from your desire to consider education
in its right light Then will ways and
means, methods and materials present
themselves Do not be discouraged if you
cannot attain what you wish. Do not be
offended if you are criticised, but mag
nifty your calling and strive for your
ideals, remembering that the most ex-
alted occupation is that of the
teacher; the most ideal, most respon-
sible and most difficult vocation, the vo-
cation of educating the future genera
ton, and that the man or woman who
is capable of the richest and fullest life
individually is best fitted for that sacred
trust, and that to be worthy of that
trust one must be the embodiment of the
spirit which said Suffer little children
to come unto Me and forbid them not. ;"
With higher and higher standards for
the personality and qualifications of the
teacher and with wider and wider aims
for the scope of the work is the educa-
tdonal world moving onward and up
ward. The beginning has been made
sure. The organic union of the kim

Power From nelted Shows.

Resides a. considerable number OF
large water power installations, SWlt-
zeriand is full of small power plants,
nearly every town in that land being
we'll supplied with power from the
white coal,' as the melting snow oa'
the mountain sides has well been call
ed. When there are no large streams,
MANY small ones are impounded and
collected in reservoirs on the hillsides,
and it Is rare to find place of any size
which is not we'll lighted by the power
of some mountain stream.
AT Montreux the electric tramway
gets its power In this way, and from
the old Roman town of Vevey to the
medieval castle of Chillon one may ride
II a trolley car propelled by the power
of an insignificant little stream which
may or may not be noticed when climb
ing up the hillsides just above.
The capabilities of this general utili-
cation of natural power are beginning
to be understood everywhere. and with
the appreciation of the possibilities OF
the best methods Of long distance TRAINS
mission, the development of many
mountain streams must surely come.
There are innumerable streams which,
while very small, are yet very high,
and these can, with comparatively lit
tie difficulty be impounded and carried
down many hundreds Of feet, thus
making UP for their lack of volume by
the great pressure readily obtainable,
and, either by the use Of electricity or
compressed air, the power may be
transmitted to many points of applica-
ton with but little loss.-Cassier's Mag
aZine.

TARIFE SCH EDULES

The demand for rapid and immediate
revision of the tariff schedules if
yielded to may work greater harm than
good. The new adjustments, if protec-
ton is to be the active policy Of the ma
ton, must be the result of calm delib-
Grafton and very careful weighing Of
conditions and needs. The extreme rad
ical protectionist and the extreme free
trader have each lost ground in this
country. The great mass of practical
economists and Of reasoning political
partisans. are to-day occupying what
may be more properly termed middle
ground. with perhaps some excess Of
protection shading.
1t is unquestonably true, as President
Ashley says In the January Forum"
that hasty legislation is one of the
greatest evils to which business men
are subjected. Legislation will not, nay
it cannot, be hasty when business coun-
sci rather than partisan heat is the mo-
tive power. In the adjustment Of the
tariff question the former and not the
latter should operate to produce good re-
suits.
The present examination going on be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee of
the House of Representatives would
seem to be more of the deliberative and
business than of the political and parti-
san order. If that is true the country
has reason to be grateful and to ex-
pect beneficial results.
