important subject of irrigation, ari

nent manner. The enactment of the Ma
tional Irrigation act Is explained, and
The far-reachIng effects of It are point
ed out as Wantland is able to describe

arid region and the selni-afid lands
of the great West, will cad the article
with more than ordinary satisfaction.

Possibly some time in the future a
national irrigation day win be celcbrat-

opened up by Uncle Sans ditch build
ers; when the great new states are de-
veloped and the worthy landless men
Of eastern cities are transferred to the
manless lands of the mountain states,
possibly II win be said that Providence
had something TO do with the national
irrigation agitation (Which started IN
Utah, the land OF small homes) and that
at the critical time, when western men
had forced the fight 10 the front as
national issue. and the West had great
strength In the Senate OF the United
States II was fortunate that there was

THE FRANK DISASTER.

The Raymond Chronicle Of May g.

a fun account Of the lamentable disas-
ter, by which the little town Of Frank

crops out the coal seam, the mining Of

The Chronicle thinks that stlll
worse catastrophe may happen there

the fact that what has come down Is

A SIMPLE EXPLANATION.

A reader OF the Deseret News IN Kan
sas desires an explanation through
these columns Of Luke WI 2Si which Is
as follows;
"For / say unto you, Among those
that are born of women there Is not a
greater prophet than John the Baptist
but he that Is least In the Kingdom OF
God II greater than he
This has been explained In the
News" before but we repeat the ex-
PLANTATION because others besides our
correspondent have asked for IL and
people do not always remember what
they read.
The prophet Joseph Smith, comment
ing on this passage Of scripture said the
Savior referred 10 Himself as He who
was considered by the people OF that
time at least in the kingdom Of heaven
He was despised and rejected Of men;
his name was cast out as evlli yet he
was really the greatest Of all, Read the
last part OF the text as "he that Is
counted least IN the Kingdom Of God
Is greater than he and the meaning OF
the passage viii be clearly understood.

ELECTRIC RAILROADS.

The question OF running railroad
trains by electricity instead OF steam
has been discussed lately. The plan
has appeared feasible particularly in
countries that have an abundance OF
waterfalls whore power can be gener-
ated, and where the distances are not
so great Cornelius Vanderbilt takes
the View that electricity as a motive
force on railroads Is financially lmpos-
slble He sets forth his reasons. IN the
North American Review. Railroads he
argues, depend Tor the bulk OF their
revenue upon freight. Therefore he dis
misses the consideration OF comfort and
convenience Of passengers and consid-
ers simply the question OF economy In
transportation Here he finds that the
cost Of installing electrical equipment
could not be met by any saving in CD.
Grating expenses
The opposite opinion Is also argued
in the Review by De Muralt an engl-
neer who has had much experience In
this field. having been engaged In in
stalling electric traction in Switzerland.
N. de Muralt asserts that al present
about 100 miles Of track can be ef.
helently supplied with power from a
central station. over such a system the
loss Of power is about 20 per cent.
That Is for each horsepower required
by the locomotive, the central station
must produce about one and two-thirds
horsepower On this basis and using
the figures at which electric power is
usually sold By big plants. he finds that
the rate Of cost Of motive power under
the electric system would about equal
the average rate Of expense for the
steam roads. The rolling stock. inelud-

SOME LEIGHTON ANrI-MoRMoSisM

In Nordstjernan for April Is, we no.
tee a communication from Sister
Maria $. Peterson, written from Es.
kilstuna, Sweden, March %, 1908 The
letter is OF general interest
1t appears that the writer some time
ago embraced the Gospel and came TO
Utah. Here she found herself unable
TO stand the trials incident TO the
change from the old country TO the
new. ana during this time she was
found By unscrupuous persons who led
her astray and finally sent her back
10 the old country as a soul that had
been lost In "Mormonlsm," but recoy-
cred by It's enemies.
Sister Peterson now says, in her let.
ter to Nordstjernan that she knows
that the Church Is the Church Of
Christ, and that the Saints were in no
wise the cause OF her apostasy. Long
articles appeared concerning her IN the
anti "Mormon' press. but, she says. she
did not write all Of them but her name
was used by the professional traducors
Of the Church. AS for the Saints. she
says, they treated her well She now
asks the forgiveness Of all for having
caused the enemies to SANDER the
Church, and she testihes to them that
the object Of their enmity is the true
Church.
There are a number OF persons and
publications that make It their business
10 fight Mormonism.' They care not
what weapons they use. Sister Pet
terson's letter reveals some OF their
methods. They even forge lies and use
the signatures Of other persons, to give
them currency. The wonder is not that
90 many have prcjudices against the
Church. The great wonder Is that Il
still lives and exerts an influence In
the world. Were It's origin not divine
1. would long ago have been buried UNI
der the rubbish that the world has
been heaping upon It. Tha, II has
riscn above It OIL proves that It is true.
Truth alone can conquer all obstacles.
Tnisehocd may I've and flourish FOX a
time. bu, not lone. Truth alone lives

this time, TO care for its visitors proper
ly From many directions come COM
plants on that score. The New York
Mail and Express says that the gov
ernors of Indiana and Colorado were
gravely dlspleased because Of official
neglect to welcome them or provide
quarters for them Governor Odel's
party was laid up for two hours in a
freight yard, and when Il alighted had
to scurry about TO secure its own lode-
lnes. The president is quoted as saying
that his party could get no decent food

stated that the city opened 5000 private
homes as supplementary to It's l27 no.
tells, 1000 boarding houses and 1000 res.
taurants. And yet, with no extraordln-
airy crowd TO be attended TO, there was
general complaint Of insufficient accom-.
modatons and unreasonable charges.
The experience thus gained by the
fair managers and the fair city, should
be turned to account, for the benefit Of
the fair visitors next year II It is not,
the visitors themselves wiz profit by t.
