one, dangerous In the extreme. Many
will recall how Eliason performed IL in
the Salt Lake theatre to the complete
justification OF his spectators. Six
soldiers from Fort Douglas loaded their
guns in the presence Of the audience
and then fired them, as they thought,
point blank at the young wizard. When
the sharp crack OF the rifles was over
and the smoke from their muzzles had
cleared away Eliason held the bullets
In his hand. How he received them
was n mystery TO all but himself. This
trick, With the many others performed
by the youthful artist, will undoubtedly
insure him prominent place In public
favor. He Is now preparing for an
extended professional trip with a roper

What has been said OF the late Mr..
Eliason may, 10 great extent. be also
said OF Mr.. Cunningham. From his
very early years he showed taste for
sleight Of hand performances. and while
other boys Of his age made actors their
heroes, no one equalled In his eyes such
men as Herman and Keller. He prac-
ticed constantly at home, experiment
Ing on tricks he had seen performed
and inventlng many OF his own, and
before he had any public reputation,
he gave many private exhibitions al
the houses OF his friends. His skill then
became so generally recognized that he
was encouraged TO appear in a more
public way, In ward halls, and eom
thence II was but short step 70 the
stage. He made one or two trial tours
OF the State. and meeting with steady
encouragement, decided on regularly
entering the profession. He then went
west and made a tour covering points
as far as San Francisco, and was
everywhere recognized as an expert In
legerdemaln.

NEW GAS PLANT.

NEW GAS PLANT.
In the gas department there has been
much activity. Last year the company
thoroughly investigated the natural
gas situation, and demonstrated that
there was practically no more gas at
the wells al the present depth, what.
ever further development might show.
and the uncertainty of.the service when
the natural product was relied upon
had caused 30 much ANNOYANCE TO
consumers that II was decided TO re-
habilltate the coal gas plant. During
this year the company has purchased
and erected modern oil gas plant, Of
100000 feet capacity per day, and BY
January LIST will have completed a new
coal gas plant OF a capacity Of four
Mitchell benches OF six retorts each II
is estimated that each bench Will pro-
duce 225.000 cubic feet Of gas IN twenty
four hours. Under the present schedule
reduced from the old coal gas sched-
ule. the use Of gas for fuel purposes has
been demonstrated TO be an economical
heating agency. IL now seems assured
that the gas will again come into pop
ularity and wide use In homes, where
its cleanliness, reliability and compare
tive economy commend H.
The task the Union Light and Power
company has assumed, that of furnish
ing all the time the very best service
al a minimum OF cost is not an easy
one, but with the support II is receiv-
in. II IL able TO accomplish all II has
set out TO do, and in its perfection Of
