No Gold is Being Coined at Present,

tor OF United States hints, in an in.
tervlew here.
"There is an unpi ecedented demand
for silver money Of these denomina
tons through out the country at pres
ent that the government cannot begin
TO cope with.
"Silver is high and is going to go
higher" declared Mr.. Roberts. at

lleve that within two years 1t will go
20 76. It Is II and a little more at
present. A part OF the mint at Phlla-
delphia is working with copper and
nickel at present, but outside this
every mint in the country is working
night and day on silver half dollars,
quarters and dimes. No gold Is being
coined at present and none will be for
three months. The total coinage for
the year will run very high, possibly
over $500, 100000"
Asked why paper money OF 81 and
50 bill denominations are not more
generally circulated In the west, Mr..
Roberts said:
"The principal reason is that west
ern bankers and others sending cas-.
for money, II they ask for paper
money, must pay the express charges
on II. II they order silver the govern.
ment pays the charges. This is the
secret OF the immense circulation OF
silver in your own state and other

FARMERS SON SOLVES
DREAM OF INVENTORS
Takes Electricity From the Air TO Fur.
nish Power for a Practical Motor
Secret Sought for Years by In
ventors.

New York.--South Dakota cities are
supplied with electric lights, the
power for which Is generated by arte-
sian wells: farm machinery is run by
motors. and turbine wheels operated
Dy the gushing wells between the Mis-
souri, and James rivers, but It has also
been left to a South Dakota farmer to
discover that enough electricity may
be taken from the air above the buttes
TO furnish the power which will run
electric lights, thrashing machines
and water pumps.
Such a discovery is one OF the mar
wells OF the electrical world and a
dream OF inventors for decades, but
John II. Stranhan, son OF a well-to-do
farmer near Miller. S. d., has made
the discovery. and from Sully buttes
may be seen number of tandem box
kites. while half way to the earth on
a No. 4 copper wire. hangs a strange
white box the size Of beehive.
From the copper wires which de-
scend from this box enough electrical
energy is secured to run the motors
with which the Stranhan home is
lighted, feed grinder and threshlng
machine operated. and big electrical
pump which pours water into irrigat-
ing bitches.

GOVERNOR GOODING
WINS OUT IN IDAHO
Entire state Ticket Elected by Re
publicsns, While Legislature VIII
be In Line With Administration.

Boise, Ida.-The majority for Gov
ernor Gooding in the state stands at
about 1000. In the southeast he ran
with the rest OF the state ticket, but
in the southwest he ran behind. In
this (Ada) county he lost by 500.
while French carried the county by
1877. II is possible that the majority
on the state ticket will run 5000
more than the governor. Lansdon for
secretary of state was badly cut In
some OF the southern counties, but
not enough to prevent his election
His opponent carried Ada county by
637. The state ticket generally had
about LOO, though the figures varied.
In Washington county Galloway beat
Lansdon 800 and the rest Of the state
ticket got 500. excepting Stocks
lager, who got 1000.
The legislative situation stands 4s
Republicans to "a Democrats. The
Republicans have thirteen senators.

Will Exceed $4,000.

Salt Lake Clty.-The election Tues

for the Republican party, which swept
everything in front of 1t. Congress
man Howell was reelected by a plu.
rality of about $4,000. while
Judge Prick is elected associate Jus.
tice, although he did not receive near
ly so many votes as the congressman.
Congressman Howell's plurality
over Judge Powers at the election of
Tuesday will reach about $4,000, ap-
proximately the same figures as in
1904, when President Roosevelt head.
ed the Republican ticket. In that
election there we're over 101 900
votes cast in Utah. OF this number
Parker for president received 35,413,
while Roosevelt received 62,446. 1t is
doubtful If the total vote this year
will reach $4,000, which will be divid
ed about as follows: Howell, 10000;
Powers, $4,000; Weir, 10000.
Two years ago Howell was given
62,675, Powers 37,445, Hiles 6,796.
The seventh state legislature OF
Utah viii consist very largely OF Re
publicans. The state senate will be
entirely Republican. The house will
have at the outside not to exceed FIVE
Democratic members out of the forty
Eve.
The Republican ticket carried Salt
Lake county by plurality ranging
from 1900 to 1000.
The Americans carried Salt Lake
City by pluralities varying from 945
for Weir to 1892 for Pitt and 1912 for
Tony" Jacobson. the latter two lead.
Ing their ticket. The Democrats got
from 1900 to 1900 votes in the city.
Judge Powers leading his ticket with
total vote of 4,S41 in the city.
AS compared with the vote in the
city last fall, the Republicans got
2,S62 more votes than they gave
Lynch for mayor; the Democrats lost
2,9S9 as compared with the vote for
Morris, and the Americans got 1873
more than were recorded for Thomp-
son. One peculiar coincidence is that
Howell this year came within two
votes of the total vote for Morris and
Lynch last year-one a Republican,
the other a Democrat.
