Five future transportation kings,
ranging in ages from ; to II years,
have constructed a miniature lOcomo-
tive that is a tribute to their creative
genius. The five youngsters live near
the Bingham Consolidated mine in
Bingham. at which their fathers are
employed. From the little narrow
gauge mine railway the quintette got
the idea of constructing locomotive
and laying a railway track.
They were somewhat shy on ma
teriaI, but went to work and did the
best they could. A mine truck was
borrowed by the boys to form the dri-
vers of their engine; for boiler a
convenient beer barrel served; a stove
pipe is used as the smokestack; pair
of lard cans form respectively head
made of rough boards nailed together.
With this material the boys have in
geniOusly constructed No. l of the Air
Line 1t makes no difference to these
youngsters if their boiler won't boil,
they contend their barrel does more
good than when it furnished beer to
carousing Austrians. And, anyway,
their smokestack and trucks are real.
A spike suspended by a string makes
the old lard can ring.
The track on which the engins runs
is a good one. 1t is formed of cast
away rails from the narrow-gauge
mining road. 1t follows the same plan
as the railroad running to the Bing-
ham Con. The boys have made curve
and an open cut in their road, the ex-

MUST HAVE A LICENSE.
Attorney General Points Out the
Law to Pharmacists.

An explanation of the state law reg
ulating the issuing of licenses TO phar-
macists was given yesterday in an
opinion written by Attorney General
Breeder at the request of Walter H.
Dayton of the state board Of pharmacy.
There is no law in this state excus-
ing any one from complying with the
provisions Of the act" says the opinion
in part, and you are advised that your
board has no authority to issue licenses
until the law is fully complied with
which is to say that every person desir-
ing to compound drugs, medicines OF
peisons or to open or conduct a phar-
macy must apply for license as re-
quired by law and submit to an examin-
alton by the state board of pharmacy
and obtain a license therefrom.

RAIN FOOLS DR.. HYATT.
Wasn't on Schedule and Was Only
a Small Affair.

A stray, homeless rainstorm arrived
in Salt Lake early yesterday morning,
remained a few moments and then de-
parted, having made its presence known
only to the few that were upon the
streets between 1 and 2 o'clock, the
time of its visit. DR.. Hyatt yester-
day looked over his collection of
storms and failed to find the visitors
card among the list. Its appearance
was a complete surprise to the weather
man and his assistants. Its short stay,
however, did not tend to break the mo-
notony of fine days that have been
promised Salt Lake. 1t was fair and
warmer yesterday, as promised.
DR. Hyatt explained the sudden rain
fall by saying that some vagrant, low
hanging cloud had deposited it's mois-
ture i'm Salt Lake and then had float
ed lazily away. There are no full
grown storms in sight for this vicinity
the east and far northwest receiving
what surplus rain that is drifting
around. A slight rise in temperature
was noticeable all over the country yes
terday. The cities that have been en-
joying cool weather once more hurried
back to the soda water fountains and
other places where cool liquids are dis
penSed.
Indications for Salt Lake are contin-
ued fair weather today and possibly a
tTific warmer

WHY MAIL GOES ASTRhY
Record of Postoffice for Month
Shows Some Carelessness by
the Public,

Forgetfulness or carelessness on the
part of letter writer's has kept the To-
cal postoffice department busy lately
keeping track of the letters that have
been entrusted to the care of Uncle
Sam without sufficient postage, ad-
dressed illegibly or which for some
other reason cannot reach the proper
destination.
From a record of "misfit" correspond
ence that has been collected at the
Salt Lake pOstOffice, it would seem that
many persons should pay closer atten-
ton to the proper addressing and
stamping of their correspondence. Dur
ing the last month thirty-eight letters
without postage have been received.
One letter did not have enough postage.
Five were addressed illegibly and TWEEN
ty-six were addressed wrongly. Six
persons were absent-minded enough to
drop the envelopes into the mail box
devoid of any address at all.
Fifty postal cards meant for post
card fiends' went astray for various
reasons. Sixteen were without postage;
twenty-five unavailable for various rea-
sons; seven were without an address
and two were placed in the box adj
dressed simply to John Jones or Mary
Jones without any pOstOffice address
to guide the clerks. Many packages
have also been mailed without suffi-
cient addresses or without enough pos
tage to carry them through the mails.
One large letter was received at the
postoffice unsealed, although it con-
tanned valuable papers.
When possible the faulty letters are
sent to their proper destination Those
thai are in the hopeless" class such
as ones without sufficient address or
an address that cannot be deciphered
by the experts, are forwarded to the
dead letter office at Washington.

act counterparts of those on the Bing-
ham Con. line.
The motive power of this miniature
railway is gravity. The terminals on
the line are the brow of the hill and
the inevitable ditch somewhere be-
tween the beginning and end of the
track, varying according to the caprice
of the engine. All five boys climb in
the cab, on the pilot and astride the
boiler. The boy on the pilot kicks out
the wooden block in front of the trucks
and away they go, bell changing and
five healthy kids yelling like wild In
dams. The engine picks up speed as
it goes and whirls around the bend
across the cut, and then-the ditch.
The boys have a glorious spill, but
they don't mind, for they are then
transformed into wrecking crew to
right the engine and push ii back up
the hill.
Does you see dat dinky engine up
dere on de Bingham Con. track? Dey
made dat engine just like ours. 1t
amt got de speed dat ours has,
though. Does you see de bend and de
cut up dere? Dey's just like ours"
The boy in the picture at the front
of the pilot with the railroad lantern
is the conductor of the train and su-
perintendent of the Air Line. The boy
looking through the cab window is en-
gfneer of No. 1 and superintendent of
the motive power of the line. His
companion in the engine is fireman
and foreman Of the wrecking crew. The
other two boys with the pick and SHOW
el are officials of the Air Line and
mine owners operating along the new
line

PIG IRON TOO HIGH.
Manufacturers Unable to Pay Pres

New York, July 1.-THE Iron Age

Rarely have reports from all parts
of the country agreed so thoroughly

foreign pig iron is still struggling in,
but prices must be made pretty low to

iron and steel trades practically pegged

supplies of pig iron in the open mar

The steel works and mills are still

tonnage is not and cannot be expected

year.
The copper market has weakened
again. Electrolytic copper has sold in
moderate quantities on the basis of p
cents in New York, and it has also
been offered at lower figures So far
as can be learned, consumers have not
taken hold at the prices established
last week.

Fred H. MagiII Can Produce
Witnesses that Former Wife
Killed Herself.
WOMAN ALSO LEFT LETTER
SECOND INQUEST LIKELY TO BE
HELD.
WOMAN ALSO LEFT LETTEI

San Diego, Cal, July 17.-Sheriff Camp
bell of De Witt county, Illinois, is ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow noon for the
purpose Of taking Fred H Magill and
his present wife, Fay Graham Magill,
back to Clinton, to answer the charge
of murder for the alleged killing of Ma
g1lIs former wife. If the Illinois officer
can continue his trip without rest, his
prisoners will be ready to start back
with him on the same train, leaving at
gill, who has been staying at the HO-
tel Robinson since the arrest of her
father and steD-mother, will return on
the same train with them.
The defense will be that which is con-
tanned in the very first words that Ma
gill uttered when he was arrested:
My wife committed suicide.
Probable Defense.
The theory of the defense will be sub
stantiated by letters and witnesses who
heard her say repeatedly that she was
going to end her life and some VINO
heard her say within fOTty-eight hours
of her act that she would know the
peace of the rest after death sooner than
any of them knew
One of the letters was found pinned
to her skirt when her body was found.
Another was tied up in her handkerchief,
and others were in the drawers where
she had placed them. If they are for
geries or not. the experts will have am
pie material to work on, for there are
fourteen or fifteen pages of them, and
All of them speak of suicide and most
of them give reasons. The reasons ex-
pressed are two women and constantly
recurring headaches
