The Indians we met right here were

from the Utes over on the reservation

'The Utes are cruel and savage.
They stole our cattle and horses, made
raids on settlements all the way south
OF Lehi, and Il was necessary TO send
out many expeditions against them.
"The Nayajos came In on us from
the south. They were as fierce as the
Utes. but more cunning and made us

LIBERTY PARK AND
ITS TRANSPORTATION.

'-t,i-i',-.'.''.-'-'
one OF the most profitable invest
ments ever made by salt Lake City
corporation was In lSs1, when the pur
chase Of the tract Of land now known
as Liberty Park was consummated.
For many years the sentiment in
favor Of establishing city park, had
been growing in favor and at last
negotiations looking TO the purchase Of
this tract, were opened up.
THE PURCHASE.
on April 20, lSSl, the City Council
formally authorized the purchase "of
the property known as mill farm, con-
dsting Of 10 acres, for S27,JOO.' The
price was acceptable, and the transfer
was at once made.
This tract is worth today, for resi-
dence purposes, at least $500 an acre.
Property is selling all around It at
much higher figure, but on this con
seryatiye estimate, what cost the city
y27,JOO In 1851 is now worth $4,000.
IMPROVEMENT COMMENCES.
The purchase having been completed,
a resolution was adopted on June Is,
1851 designating the tract as Liberty
Park, and defeating 1t to the use OF
the inhabitants Of this city as a public
park.
II was decided to have some public
exercises to commemorate the event,
and July lth following was the date
fixed. The tract was already a park,
but improvements were at once com
menced, and the grounds were put in
shape for the celebration.

LAKE BATHING
IN EARLY DAYS.

. . . . . . . . . . . ' . '
The Great Salt Lake was. back in the
Gtties as now, the favorite resort Of
the people In summer
True there was no great pavilion, no
pier nor any Of the many conyenlences
found today. but the water was clear,
the beach smooth and white and the
air lnyigorauug. There was no railroad
to carry out the excursionists In TWEEN
% minutes, a thousand al a trip but
the people enjoyed it all just the same.
Parties would be made up, lunch
baskets filled, teams hltched, wagons
loaded and a start made at dawn.
Black Rock, just east Of Garfield, was
then the most popular site and a
pleasant drive in the cool morning air
brought the bathers there.
The day would be pleasantly spent In
bathing, pIcugk.ug and rambling ABOUT
the hills. OF course the bathing suits
were unique, rather than beautiful, and
style didn't count for much In any OF
these excursions, but the outings We're
always enjoyable. The ride home Dy
moonlight with songs and laughter
rounded out "a very happy day
often families from the city would

provisions, cooking utensils, Dedlug

often during the summer months more

night shining along the shore.
In The evolution that has gone on
since those days, Beautiful saltair was
created. The building OF the Utah q
Nevada 10 Lake Point brought that
place to the front as a resort, and the
original old pier, iIanked by bath
houses on the shore. is well remem-
bered. The excursion steamer, Gen.

the finest buildings Of the kind In the
world.

. THE SCIENCE OF
SOUND WAVES.

The last fifty years has proved q
fruitful field In the attempts al the dis.
covery and mastering OF principles con.
uoNng sound ana sound waves Some
OF the results are sufficient TO startle
even an advanced civilization. The
practical application OF those principles
by the great Edison aud others are
most marvellous. 1t Is more than a
hundred years ago since the world was
made aware that all sounds, Including
the Infinitely varied modulatIons OF the
human voice. were due TO successive air
waves, set up by various vibrating sub.
stances, But before Edlsons time il
had never been conceived possible by
any mechanical means % reproduce
these complex vibrations 50 exactly as
10 cause the words of the original
speaker TO be again heard, quite ntelu-
gioly and with all their tones and
modulatons, at any distant time or
place, Yet the phonograph has per-
formed this miracle The basic prlp-
olple, like that OF the telephone is a
diaphragm set vibrating by the voice.
but the vibrations, instead Of being re-
produced at distance by an electric
current are registered permanently by
steel point which cuts upon a cylinder
OF hard wax fine spiral groove, vary
ing In depth according TO- the unduIa-
tons OF the voice. This cylinder. shift
cd back and set In motion, reproduces
IN the diaphragm the same series OF at
mospberic vibrations as those which cut
the groove, with resultant reproduce
lions Of the same sounds. The phono-
graph Of course, is In lis infancy. What
may be It's eventual function in con-
tributIng TO the comfort, the pleasure
or the welfare Of society we can only
guess
