IRREGULARITIES
OF CLIMATE.

Away back in l116 Father Silvestre
Nelez de EsCalante, the first white man
TO set foot on Utah soil. wrote In his
diary, referring to Utah. Here the
climate is So delicious, the air 50 balmy,
that it is a pleasure TO breathe by day
ami By night"
Since that day hundreds OF thou
sands have felt the same pleasure in
breathing the pure air OF Utah that the
good padre islt a century and a quarter
ago, when he stood but few miles
from the site Of Salt Lake city,
SUITS ALL CLASSES.
While the state presents the wonder
ful variety OF climate found nowhere
else, perhaps, outside Of California, the
conditions In salt Lake seem TO suit
all classes. Within the region are min
ged the fresh breezes from the great
lake and soft. cool air from canyon and
mountain peak The extremes here
are no greater than good health and Or
binary activity require. and with It's
changes, the climate OF salt Lake City
is a perpetual tonic.
DISTINCTION WITH A DIFF
FERENCE.
There Is a vast difference between the
effects Of temperature Of 100 degrees
In New York or Chicago and Salt Lake.
In those eastern cities, the air tempera-
ture, or the temperature actually felt,
corresponds closely TO that OF the Their
mometer In Utah. during the summer
months, the air or sensible temperature
may be % or 30 degrees lower than that
shown by the Thermometer.
A QUESTION OF EVAPORATION.
one who has been greatly struck with
this pen0men0n writes In explanation.
1T is a questioned evaporation. Evap-
Grafton is a cooling process. and It Is
constantly going on from the surface Of
the body. The moisture that Is per.
spired by the body is eyaporated with
greater or less rapidityi II IS greater
when the surrounding atmosphere. In
addition TO being warm. Is also dry.
Evaporation Is also accelerated by the
wind, and In a windy day the eyapo-
ration is greater. and there is a conse-
quent greater cooling Of the surface Of
the body. The use OF a fan In an audi
encc illustrates this fact. The action Of
the fan, no matter how vigorously ap-
piled and IN what numbers. will not re-
duce the temperature OF the auditorium.

but the people helped the Indians and
gradually won their confidence and
good will. l remember at one time,
President Young had distributed among
them 10000 pounds Of -four and a lot Of
beef cattle, and such donations were
more or less frequent for several pears.
President Young's policy was outlined
in his famous expression, TITS cheaper
to feed than to fight them and so It
proved. am speaking now OF the In

driven out there on the edge OF the
desert because they did not dare come
into the game country where they
would meet the warlike Utes."
THE chiefs OF the larger tribes mem
toned exercised wonderful control over
the Indians They were obeyed 10 the
letter. although. Of course. there were
always some bad Indians IN every tribe.
But how is It with the who's? Where
car you find a body Of them without
some bad men among them?
THE damage done by the Indians IN
early days through shooting down men
from ambush, stealing cattle, ETC., was
great, but the policy steadfastly ad-
hered to by President Young averted
vast Losses and finally won the friend
ship Of the Indians"
Another gentleman Of this city, who
had considerable experience with the
Indians during the early days, tells a
story that illustrates the point made by
Mr. Brown. Following the general poll
icy adopted, he treated the Indians with
great kindness, two young Utes being
special objects Of his attention. To one
Of them he gave many useful articles.

which he had not much use, and gave
a Price considerably In excess Of the
animals real value. That night the
same Indian went 20 his benefactors

The Incident was sufficient 10 shake
the settlers faith but Il was soon res
tered by another. Not long after the
theft, he went, with a small party. out

a part OF the work OF the United

THE TRANSFORMATION.
Since that time a transformation has
been wrought at the park, and the
dream Of twenty years ago ls realized.
The general direction OF the improve

Council committee. with a park keeper
In immediate charge. In the opinion Of
many the time is at hand when dIrec-
ton Of park affairs will have to be
turned over 70 a park commission, and
the same general rules adopted as are
in vogue elsewhere.
The annual expenses Of Liberty park
are little over 5000, but this sum,
judiciously expended, has made the
uact the citys pride. The broad acres
Of grove and lawn are surrounded by a
magnificent drive for vehicles, and in
side Of that, a path for bicyclists.

Greatly Perturbed Abo5It the Fate
OF His Bounfy scheme.

Senator Hanna and Vice Chairman
Henry C. Payne Of the Republican Ma
/ tionaG Committee were at the White
House this morning and held lengthy
conference with the President. It is IN
dersto0d their visit had reference to the
Ship Subsidy bill, concerning its fate. Of
which Senator Hanna is said 20 entertain
grave doubts. Opposition to the measure
Is consolidating and its friends are en-
deaYoring to devise some means to secure
its passage.
The purpose Of Senator Hanna's call
upon the President was, it is said, to
point out the necessity Of taking drastic
means TO force q vote on the bill at the
earliest possible date, as each days delay
increases the probability Of the defeat of
the Eanna-Payne scheme.
Some kind Of deal is to be attempted, so
it is reported. with the Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty and the Subsidy bill whereby it is
hoped that advantage viii accrue to the
latter. The plan, il is asserted, is to force
4 vote on the treaty before the adjourn
nent of Congress on Friday for the holi-
day recess. and thus leave the way clear
10 press the Subsidy bill Immediately upon
the reassembling Of the Senate in January.
Now that the Administration leaders see
that The Hay-Pauacefote compact is TO be
amended still further or that a prolonged
struggle viii ensue they are decided to
offer only perfunetory resistance and thus
allow the matter to be disposed of one way
OF the other so that the shipping bill may
have free course.
Senator Hanna appeared to be IN not
very hopeful mood over his pet measure
when he left the White House this morn
ing He declared glocmily that he Rad
no knowledge as to when q vote could be
secured. He thought, however, that ac-
tion would be had upon the treaty at an
early date. in all probability before the
holiday adjournment.

Mr. Hanna.s Pet ship Subsidy hilI was
this morning reiegated 20 what is known
as the Senate graveyard by the decisive
action Of the Steering Committee Of that
body at a meeting held to determine
programme of legislation before the
Christmas recess. 1t had been hoped by
the friends of the measure that it would
be taken up this week and some action
had. but with only one dissenting voice,
that OF Mr. Hanna, 1t was decided not to
take the bounty bill up until after the re-
cess and then to send it back to the com
mittee
The strength of the opposition came as
a great surprise to the Ohio leader, but
his protests were without avail. Messrs.
Allison. Hale. Spooner, Mcmillan, Bur
rows. and other Republican leaders al in
sisted that il would be useless and waste
of time TO attempt TO get the obnoxious
bill through in its present form and, it is
announced, II must go back to its crea-
tors.
THIS action. Senator's say. is equivalent
20 a defeat fer the bill. as the commit
tee viii not attempt to report it again at
this session. When the bill comes up aft
er the recess as unfinished business sew
eraI Senators will speak on it and mo-
ton will be made to refer it back TO the
| committee. Mr. Hanna will undoubtedly
! call for the yeas and nays and the oppo-
nents of the bill claim that they have an
overwhelming majority On the PROPOSE
tion to kill the measure.
The Administration leaders in the Sen
ate nave decided against the bill because
they are aware that an attempt wiz be
made to talk II to death if it is allowed
to remain before the body. Messrs. Pet
