WORLDS FAIR
From our Special Correspondent.

WUkLUS fAIk
From onr Special Correspondent.
The Worlds Fair, the st. Louis
Exposition of 1904, will soon have
passed into history. Concerning
this wonder Show, many articles
have been written, and doubtless
many more will be written, en-
d%eavoring to explain it in all its
details: but there is no article,
aye, no ten articles, can do this
and give justice.
Each visitor to the Fair as he re-
turns home is piled with a thous-
and questions, but none knows
like he, that what the eye has seen
and the mind perceived, the mouth
cannot always tell or the ear under
stand. II wish you could go and
see for yourself" is often the ans
wer trembling on the tongue of
the close questioned one coming
back from the Fair. To him it is
almost a relief to meet one who
has been there like himself, and
see in his eyes the sympathetic
greeting, IL have seen with you,
| understand.
This was my first Worlds Fair.
l longed for it, l hungered for it,
| convinced myself by arguments
Pro and Con, more Con than Pro,
that it would be the epoch making
opportunity Of my life, that it
wonld be worth more to ME than
a full years school work, than a
post graduates course; Aye, that
it would stand rank to rank with a
trip around the world. Every
thing must be sacrificed that this
one all important venture may be
carried out.
1t has been carried out.
My hunger is satisfied, and
like q child l must confess that the
old man was right when he said,
anticipation is greater than re-
alization, as soon as you realize"
Not that / in the least regret hav-
ing gone, the time taken or the
money spent, for it has truly
been of infinite value, still not in
the way | expected,-now / under
stand. You who have never been
to a Worlds Fair may never
understand until you 60, and
after that / think I am safe in
saying that a second Worlds Fair
will claim only your most calm
and thotful consideration.
Beautiful AZ the picture may
look, grand as the readings may
be, and the educational value they
set before you; remember this,
the Worlds Fair is there for show.

INTEREST IN CASE
CROWDS FLOcklNG TO HEAR TIES.
TiMONY IN THE SMOOT
INVESTIGATION.
Policemen Called to Maintain Order
Among Eager Women Anxious to
Find Room-First Time in Fifty
Years Relations Of Mormon Church
to United States to Be Tried.


Washington, D. c.. March 3.-The
interest shown in the Reed Smoot in
vestigation is most extraordinary. This
morning it was impossible to get near
the room OF the committee on privi,
leges and elections. Throngs of eager
men and ONE crowded in and po'
licemen had to be called to maintain
order.
Just before the hearing was begun
today Mr.. Smoot received a telegram
from Provo. Utah, stating that his sis
ter, Mrs. George Taylor, died this
morning, as the result of an operation.
Mr.. Smoot had not heard of her being
sick.
When the examination started in,
Senator Dubois, speaking of the mat
ter, said for the first time in fifty
ear the relations Of this Mormon
organization to the United States is to
be tried. The examination of Presi-
lent Smith revealed an extraordinary
condition of affairs. He confessed to
his own position under the laws gov
erning polygamy. He acknowledged
that he had violated them continuous
ly. Since the manifesto of 1890. but
was ready now and always had been
ready to face the laws of the land.
He had not, and, unless forced to,
would not, abstain from relations with
plural families. His testimony created
quite a sensation.
President Smith voluntarily made
this statement: when Utah was ad-
mitted to statehood provision was
made that plural marriages must
cease. There was no proviso forbid
ding cob abitation with plural wives
married before then. | a placed in
this position: My first wife married
me forty years ago, and the second
twenty years ago. l have children by
both. Since statehood no plural mar
riages have been performed with the
consent and knowledge of the church.
l have five wives, md treat them as
such. BY them I have had eleven
children since 1890"
Further questions developed the fact
that Apostles Taylor. Merrill, Grant,
Henry and Smith are all polygamists.

Prof. Elwood Mead of the depart
lecture on the history of irrigation
in Italy last evening at Barratt hall in
the presence of a good sized audience,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. The
views We're taken by Mr.. Mead and the
data gathered by him during a tour of
investigation of the irrigation system
Of Italy, particularly in the region of
Milan, and were a revelation to many
familiar with the irrigation system of
the west. The broad, deep canals,
with their walls of masonry, flowing
through thousands of miles of terri
tory. bordered on either side with rich
felds and meadows, we're in striking
contrast to the canals with which the
people of the west are generally IA
miliar and could not fail to elicit
words of praise from those present.
Many interesting points were
thought out in Prof. Mead's brief talk.
among the more important being the
manner in which the water rights are
controlled. For nearly 600 years the
irrigation system has been in vogue
in Italy. The canals and laterals were
originally built by the church or by the
nobility, but through wars and other
troubles having passed into the hands
of the government. In 1889 a commits
sion was appointed to investigate the
rights of water holders along the lines
OF the several canals in Italy. and
since that time there has never been
any great trouble about water rights.
All disputes and misunderstanding
are referred to a committee on arbitra-
ton, whose decision has never been
appealed from. Prof Mead said, too,
that through the centuries in which
the system has existed the people have
learned to subordinate their wishes to
the needs of their neighbors, and the
result Is that one never meets a farm
er in Italy who doubts that he will
get all the water that belongs to him.
or who has the slightest grievance
against his neighbor over the water
problem. The board Of arbitration al
passes upon all applications for wa
rights, and as it knows exactly the
amount of water at its disposal and
the number of patrons, any applica-
ton which would infringe upon the
right of even n patron is promptly
denied.
Prof. Mead said in closing that he is
deeply interested in the irrigation
problem in the west and in the work
that is being done by State Engineer
Doremus in Utah because it will re-
suit in the greatest possible good for
the future generations of Utah.
