The establishment OF the wireless
telegraph system In this city, arrange
ments for which are In process. win
mark new era IN the annals Of this
State. The proposition Is to establish
central station near the shore of the
Salt Lake. with connections at every
important point In Utah. The value
OF such an enterprise and the benefits
that win certainly result therefrom,

The prediction found IN the Book OF
Daniel and made to him BY an angel
concerning the time Of the end that
"many shall run TO and fro and knowl-
edge shall be increased Is evidently

discoveries and developments of the
past century have been greater than
those Of any preceding similar period.
The marvels and changes brought
about By the use Of steam as a force,
succeeded by the development OF elec-
tricity in the forms of light, heat and
power, the Telegraph. the telephone
and the thousand and one facilities
made possible thereby to bring together
nations and individuals, by personal
contact through rapid travel, and by
conversation almost instantly at inn
lnense geographical distances, all these
are thrown comparatively In the shade
by the discovery Of teegraphy without
wires.
