One Ingenious farmer, for instance,
bolted the axle Of an old wagon. with
hub and wheel intact, to the beams on
the side Of barn. and nailed fans to
the spolSes, thus making mill that
served its purpose admirably.
But the commonest types nre those
with n set turbine and many fans
they are inseparablc features Of every
landscape out West. In any town
thirty or forty may be counted; In the
country twenty or thirty mills are Of
ten In view at one time.
And still the development of the
windmill goes on. In some places the
energy generated Is transmitted long
distances, from field to field and over
hills.
During the windy hours OF the day
the surplus energy of the wind is bot
tlcd-that Is to say, the windmill COM
presses the air into stout iron cylin-
dcrs. from which II may he drawn off
when desired.
The windmill enthusiasts OF the
West are pointing to the fact that In
many countries old and advanced In
the arts the use of the windmill Is un-
known. water Is raised by hand. grain
is ground by horse power, water power
or hand, machinery Is driven In much
the same way. while the wind, with
all It's potential energy. is neglected.

grcssive Western states lead the world

Throughout almost the entire terri

scanty that 1t is impossible to store it
in reservoirs, or to make elaborate
waterworks.
A small amount of water is available
almost everywhere-and 1t is due to
the successful experiments of the Uni.

which will be presented to the pa
irons Of the Grand during the first
half of next week. The Eleventh
Hour" is from the pen of Lincoln J.
Carter, author of The Fast Mail
Tornado" Heart of Chicago and
others. 1t abounds in exciting Incl
dents, the scenes OF the play taking
place in and about Chicago. One act
shows the intricate workings of the
Block System as used by all the large
railroads-this being the first time this
has been done successfully on any
stage. The last act is said to be one
of the best interior sets ever placed
on the stage, showing the drawing
room of one OF the well known rich
men in Chicago, and is an exact re-
production of the original in all details.
1t is here the terrible struggle takes
place between the hero and villain.

Patrons Of the Opera House will wit
ness an event of more than ordinary
theatrical interest tonight, when
Clyde Fitch's stirring play of the Rev
dictionary period vii be presented.
Special emphasis is laid upon the fact
that the production will be seen in its
entirety as regards the brilliant cos
tuning and scenery that distinguish
ed its showing at the Knickerbocker
Theatre, New York. Mr.. Howard Kyle.
whose appearance would at once sug-
gest the likeness to athan Hale, will
play the title role. He brings to his
task and intellectually and fervor that
have won for him the great esteem in
which he is held by those who have
seen him in the Shakespearean drama.
Miss Jessie Izell will portray Alice
Adams. No one better qualified to set
forth the winsomeness of the sweet
heart OF Nathan Hale could have been
selected.
