pleHTs OF AUToMoBILlsrs.

Complaint has reached The Herald
that in various parts of Salt Lake City
hoodlums are in the habit of throwing
stones at passing automobiles and the
occupants Of the car. The other day a
prominent citizen was struck in the
head by a stone about the size Of
hens egg, and, had IL not been for the
thick cap he was wearing he might
have been seriously injured. The hood
lum, hulking boy apparently IS years
old. escaped Similar instances have
been reported. One of the handsomest
automobiles in the city shows a great
dent where the gasoline tank was all
but cut through by boulder thrown
by a boy
II is not possible to condone offenses
of this character. They are entirely too
serious. Anybody who has had expert
ence with automobiles. either in driv-
ing them or riding in them will readily
appreciate the danger attendant on
even the slightest injury TO the fndivid-
ual at the steering wheel. Even If the
car is travelling at low rate Of speed
a blow from a stone must inevitably
discomfort the driver. 1t might cause
him to swerve the machine into a tele-
phone or power pole, into the curb or
some other obstruction and cause the
death or serious injury of the occupants
of the vehicle.
The automobilist has rights as well as
the walking or horse-driving public. He
is entitled to all reasonable protection.
If any boy or man throwing stones at
passing automobiles can be caught he
should be prosecuted for assault and
an example made of him. If this is not
done, there is going to be a mighty
serious accident some day in Salt Lake
City. The -throwers cannot be
too quickly caught and taught that
they must stop the practice they have
been enga ging in so freely.

Monday the body of an American girl
who had aided her husband in rulins
over So0,000,000 people was laid in its
rlnal resting-place in England. Upon
her coffin were placed wreaths from
Inc president of the United States, the
king of England, the prince of Wales
and many other notable world figures
The girl was the daughter of an Amerl-
can merchant who started in life with
nothing but his energy and his ability
for capital and won his way to a for
tune far beyond the widest dreams OF
his youth
How pleasant ii is to be able to record
the fact that this American girl, when
she was called upon TO rule, ruled as one
TO the manner born. Behind her was
no long line of aristocratic ancestors.
no divine right heritage nothing of
the divinity that hedges royalty about.
The hands of her father, her fathers
father and his father, as far back as
the lineage of the family was ever
traced, were the hard hands Of honest
toilers. If Levi T. Letter had been born
in some countries he would have been
held always in lowly station. his chill
dren could never have hoped to cross
the gulf between the classes.
The marriage OF Miss Letter to George
Curzon was called a love match. Their
welded life was said to have been ideal
~ happy. There is reason to believe in
the truth of these assertions, for scan
dal is ever ready TO smirch the lives of
the great and the successful. always
on the watch for any foundation upon
which TO build a structure of malicious
gossip. There was nothing of this
about the Curzons. George Curzon was
comparatively an obscure man when he
won his wife. There was no hint of the
purchase of title with money.
He became Lord Curzon of Keddles-
ton long after the ceremony was said
His wife's money doubtless was a ma
terial help I'm the advancement that
came 10 him, but her winsOme person.
atty her ready tact. her rare intell-
gence were more helpful than money
could possibly have been. The English
are not a good-natured people. They
do not view with favor the assumption
OF high stations in their country by
foreigners. Yet there has not been one
TO say an unkind word of the dead
Lady Curzon. the American girl VINO
was the vicerine of India, the girl who
occupied a place second only to that of
England's queen.
With one accord the newspapers of
England and the English public have
joined in praise of Lady Curzon. She
did we'll the work that came to her
hand. Every American was proud of
her; every American had reason TO be.
May the rest that has come to her in
the grave be as peaceful as her re-
ward is sure.

er for all human needs is promised
shortly 10 be perfected by an enthusi-
astic inventor The invention. as de-
scribed In a glowing writeup consists
of one or more barges launched upon
the sea and anchored at a distance from
the shore so as to insure deep water
IT is stated, be operated in every sort
of weather. Along the bottom of each
barge runs a metal track upon which
are two little cars, one at each end,
bearing weights. The cars are connect
ed by a rod and as the boat rocks they
roll back and forth along the track, at
the same time operating pair of pis-
tons which compress air. and through
a tube furnish pneumatic power oper-
ating machinery upon shore. The pump
ing mechanism may also be adjusted
to suck water from under the boat and
pipe il to shore in a steady stream
with sufficient force to operate water
motor on the beach.
Should this invention prove to be
practicable, it will go long way to-
ward solving the problem of power for
manufactures and every other purpose,
for electricity generated on the seacoast
could be transmitted long distances TO
the point where needed with but tri-
fling loss in transmission.

When the mine was first taken over
there was only one shaft that had pen

sulphide ore. Down to ninety feet the
workings were in the zone of decom-

average of about per cent copper.

washed down from the mountains. The
profit to be derived from uncovering
the river beds can best be tried by the
method at Lewiston. although the gold

the gold that may be saved by judicious
endeavor in another way. Below
