Depreciation Of tho Electric Plant In a
Minnesota Notwithstanding Holdup.
The burning down OF the municipal
electric light plant Of East Grand
Forks. Mimi, has probably settled the
question OF its abandonment, which
was under discussion prior to the fire.
A we'll informed correspondent writes
that ''the plant has furnished a some
what indifferent service aud did not
earn enough to pay the fuel and labor
| accounts, to say nothing about inter
est on investment, depreciation, etc, "
In spite Of Its charging private custom
ers $3.50 year for 1900 c. p. arcs on

As East Grand Forks is a border
town and right across the line In
North Dakota Ga prohibition state) is
the city Of Grand Forks, about 30 per
| cent Of the business houses in East
Grand Forks are saloons. Many Of
these got their electric lights from a
private company IN Grand Forks, be-
cause the service was better and the
price lower, until the council passed q
resolution to the effect that no saloon
would be licensed unless 1t patronized
| the municipal plant.
There Is curious discrepancy be-
tween the various reports as to the
value Of the plant. In January the
| city authorities reported that the plant
had cost $4,000 Three months later
| they estimated the fire loss at $4,000,
although we understand that the plant
Is entirely destroyed, and adjusted the
loss at $4,000, the plant having been In
sured for SO, 400 Asst was installed in
1902, 1t looks as though the deprecia-
tton amounted to "a per cent In five

TRACKS FREE FROM WEEDS.
New Burner Employed on Il Western
Railway.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
Keeping the right Of way on dirt
ballasted tracks free from weeds is a
problem that has vexed railroad Off
Gals for years. To keep the weeds
down with scythes and shoyels re-
qulres large force of men at work
all during the weed-growing season.
The Union Pacific has built a gaso-
line weed burner which is doing the
work very successfully at a moderate
cost. The gasoline weed burner is in
reality an automobile mounted on rail-
road car wheels and equipped with the
Weed-burning apparatus. The car car
rieS the fuel for the burners as well as
for its own power, and it's operation
is so simple that it is comparative
ly easy job for one man to handle
the machine. In fact in nice weather
a trip through the country on the weed
burner is a very pleasant ride
Attached to the car are number
OF tanks carrying the supply of gaso-
line sufficient for the days run on the
road. The gasoline is forced into a
system Of burners carried on the back
Of the car, making very hot flame
close TO the ground and extending ont
several feet on either side. This kills
the weeds.
The machine is capable of burning
from twenty to twenty-five mfies1 q
day running about three to four miles
an hour. Three men compose the crew
Of the car, which is handled on the
road der-orders as a regular train.
Where weeds are cut by hand it re-
quircs approximately sixteen men tC
cut one mile Of track per day, hence
the machine does the work of about
300 men

SWANS testimony, 1t is claimed
by thfe defense that MCFARLAND told
Swain that he had a letter from
Harry Orchard saying that when
Haywood paid him for the Vindica-
tor job he took him to one of the
Denver banks to draw the money
and that when they came out Of the
bank Swain was standing at the
door and saw them. 1t is said that
Swain told Mcfarland that he could
not remember the incident, where
upon Mcfarland impressed him
with the Importance of it as evil
dcncc and significantly urged him to
recall it and become q witness in
the case. Detective MCFARLAND de-
MES that he ever suggested anything
improper to Swain. He says that he
got the letter as described by Or
Chard, who wrote that Swain was at
the door Of the bank on the day in
question, there being run on the
bank, and that he believed Swain
might remember having seen them.
lie says that when he went to see
Swain, the latter said that he could
not tell whether he remembered the
incident or not and asked for an
other interview MCFARLAND declares
that he there dropped the matter and
did not again see Swain
Allen +. Gill, formerly master me-
chanjc OF the Tiger and POorman
mines, and later city engineer Of
Spokane, and his wife Mrs. Gill,
were also witnesses for the defense
today. They Jointly related that

February and March, 1899, which

Rev Ernest Robinson and Dr.. r.

wing their eagerness to assist in
the prevention Of this disease. Dr..
w. A. MacQueen made quite an ex-
tensive talk on the subject showing
that he had given the disease consid.
cradle study and gave his hearers
several illustrations Of the families
that are depleted by the ravages OF
tuberculosis. He advised the appoint
ment Of q committee at an early date

operation of the laity. We don't

culosis as an incurable disease; it Is

ticed in Charleston several years ago,

til the latter part of the week. He
advised the establishment Of a league

Ex-senator George w. Price was
called upon by the chairman and
made an excellent address and char
acterized tn edisease as an insidous
complaint tht was today sappiug the
life Of the people, and had grown in
virulence and become such a menance
to the health Of. the people Of the
state, that the steps now being taken
were needed. He discussed the
bacilli that was the cause of the dis
ease, and asked that the physicians
try not to conceal the disease from
those who were afflicted, because
then 1t was Of no use to try and
stamp it out. He commended the
formation of the league and stated
his willingness to assist it in it's in
fancy that it may teach "our people

several instances where he had been

Of furnishing information to prevent

CRIMES THE PEOPLE PAY FOR

To every accused person there is
due a fair trial. Granted! But some
prisoners cost the state lot more
than they are worth to give them fair
trials. A few weeks ago in New York
State it took over fifty thousand dol
lars to send a a scroundrel who had
murdered girl to the electric chair.
And it is more than likely that Thaw
will cost the county a record breaking
sum to get justice from twelve of his
peers. If the crime of which he is
accused had occurred in the Italian
quarter it would have had headline
i'll yellow journal, and justice would
have been melted out in an ordinary
and inexpensive third-class form.
Picturesque, or "upper-class,' crime
is costly to the community that is
unlucky enough to 'c obliged to foot
the bill.
A criminal is criminal, no matter
what his financial resources may be,
and crime is crime, no matter what
color the motive to it may have. Then
why not a little more equality before

GRADE SCHOOL ORDINATIONS

The closing exercises of the grade
schools were the most interesting
and really the most important hap
pening in Salt Lake this week About
GOO boys and girls were advanced
from the eighth grade of the public
schools to the High Schools. The
graduating exercises were held on
Thursday evening in all the school
buildings of the city and the gradu-
ates were presented with their diplo-
mas in the presence of their parents
and a joyful occasion for the youths
and maidens. 1t marked their first
success, the evidence of the industry
and faithful work of the seven or
eight years which have passed since
they entered school as little tots of
six. They showed their pride and
happiness and so did their parents
and friends who attended in such
numbers as to crowd all the audi
forums to excess. 1t was most in
spring sight, the girls arrayed IN
white and the boys in their best SUI.
day clothes, the music, the flowers.
the happy and enthusiastic faces.
Programmes of merit and unusual
interest were rendered by the gradu-
ates. The scenes were pleasing in
the extreme and enjoyed by those
present to the full. Salt Lake has the
best schools in the land. She has
just reason to be proud of them and
just reason to be proud of the rising
generation.

sequence Of their employment by
large mining organizations at salar

and the loss of trained men in this
work is, for time, irreparable." Is
