traion Of sacred ordinances. That
ought to be sufficient as general re-
ply. We VIII explain further Tne
ceremonies conducted In that House OF
the Lord are OF such character that
they would be seriously lnterfered with
and obstructed by the presence Of
crowds OF visitors and curloslty-sevk-
ers. The utmost decorum and solemnlty
are required for their performance, and
none but those who are engaged therein
can properly be present, And they are
usually Of as great number as con
be conveniently accommodated.
Those ordinances are solemulzed 10 q
large extent for and In behalf of the
dead. No one can take part therein
who has not received them for them
selves. For instance a person who has
moi been baptized by one having Diviue
authority after faith In Christ and Re-
pentenace Of SIN cannot be baptized for
the departed Neither can a member OF
the Church ofiiclate In that or other
ordinance for the dead WITH
out recommendation from the
local authorities Of the Gurch who
arc familiar with the worIhIness OF
that member to enter the places con-
seerated for those holy purposes.
The endowments administered for the
living or the dead are not to be- eX-
posed to the world They are ex-
elusyeiy for the Saints Those who
receive them are under obligations TO
keep them sacred and secret. There Is
nothing In them that is not OF the
pnrest and hottest character and ten
dency, intoxicating faith, honor truth,
chastity, love and charity. But they
are specially and solely for Latter-day
Saints and must not be intruded upon
by Others. The Temple Is not In any
sense o public building, and tourists
might as reasonably demand admission
to y private home, as right to graft
fy ndulsitiyeness as to resent exclu-
sion from building devoted to rites
and ceremonies that are not for the
public
The people here, Of all classes and
particularly the "Mormons,' are Will
ing and anxious that visitors shall en-
joy everything Of public character
that can he thrown open TO their in
spectlon, and to give them information
on all things that concern mankind In

AR[ VIEWING
LOCAL SITES
Engineer ellis Men Run
Lines for the New
Reservoir.

City Engineer Gill sent a force of as
sistants out this morning to run lines
and return figures regarding different
prospective sites for the new 10000, 000,-
gallon city water reservoir.
The first site inspected is that near
the up-river pumping station. The men
are taking the ground elevations and
are making Typographical outline of
the site and the lay of the pipe lines
that would connect the reservoir with
the city system.
1t is estimated that the new reservoir
will be 5l6 feet in length and 25S feet
in width, Around the reservoir is to
be roadway either so or IS feet in
width. Accordingly the reservoir will
approximately cover two city blocks.
Mr.. ellis favorite sites would be
near the city. He has in view loca.
ton one mile southeast of Riverside
avenue and Howard street. A rough
estimate would make this site cost
5000, "a city lots of anestimated value
of $500 per lot. One of the leading
reasons for Mr.. ellis favoring this
site is that it would furnish an extra
supply of water for the city in case
the chief water main leading into town
from the up-river station should break
Other sites held in view by the en-
gineering department would cost from
$500 to $4,000.
A new plan mentioned this morning
was to get site on the hilltop to the
south of town. Such site would be
at too great an elevation for the estim
ated capacity of the pipes under exist
ing conditions, but it is believed this
fault could be overcome by putting in
n power wheel.
The result of Engineer ellis est
mates will be placed before the boart
of public works, and in turn will proha
bly, go before the city council at the
next meeting.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE annual
report of Surgeon General O'Reilly is
sued today, shows the death rate in
the army in 1902 was Is 49-l00 for each
1000 men, as compared with l3 94-lOo
for the previous year.
The total Of cholera cases all in the
Philippines, was 485, of which $3.50 died.
The report says this disease has not
appeared since 1868, when it reaped
nearly 1900 victims in the American
army. The utmost care is taken 10
eradicate It in the Philippines. Nearly
every case Is the result of wilful or
careless violation of standing orders.
The epidemic Is now believed to be
conquered. Were it not for cholera,
the death rate would have been much
lower than last year.
One hundred and seventy-four soldier
were killed by gunshot wounds, Of
whom 20 died in action, IL were wound
