New Company Spends Three Millions In Salt Lake

2ontal tank cars Tor shipment to the
Western Chemical company OF Dem
Yer which has bought this byproduct
% tho Utah Gas and Coke company.
Special features IN this part of the
plant are the two wilkes water tube
boilers Of $50 horsepower each, vita
two steam domcs % feet high atsd
feet in diameter In this apartment
is water heating plant which raises
the temperature almost TO the boiling
rcint before ii enters the boilers, the
heating agency being the waste
steam. The boilers furnish steam for
two steam turbine engines OF 100 and
$50 horsepower respectively. and which
are believed to be the only two engines
Of that kind In the west. They VIII
operate the electric generators, a large
marble switchboard equipped with the
latest and most approved apparatus
distributes the electricity which Is used
to light the plant and run motors. The
nearly finished gas product is run from
the second set OF apparatus and anu
mOnia separators to special tar eN-
tractor which cleans out all the larry
matters, and then to the scrubbcr
which is a large cylindrical machine IN
which revolve series OF gigantic wire
brushes; the cylinder is filled Ave
eighths with water. and the forcing Of
the gas through this receptacle as the
brushes revolve thoroughly wash and
free 1t entirely from every trace OF
amonia and larry matter. However,
the gas is still impregnated with the
sulphur from the coal. So it is now run
through two great purifiers. There ara
three OF these, one being held in re-
serve. is feet high and 81 feet In dame
ter, and of iron. They contain each two
layers OF, planer shavings covered with
conting OF oxide OF iron, and known
as iron sponge. This sponge takes up
the sulphuretted hydrogen, leaving the
gas free from odorlferous impurities.
HUGE GASoMETER.
The vaporous product is now COM
plete, and after being measured in the
union station meter, is forced into
the great gasometer, or gas holder
which looms up in the western part Of
the city so that it can be seen from all
over the valley. This immense affair
Is one of the greatest in the country
One thousand piles were driven into

GAS BURNING APPLIANCES
Gas companies nowadays are very
loath to enforce stringent rules which
would work hardships on any of their
consumers because one enemy made

than 10 good friends can undo. That the
gas company works for the interests
of its consumers may be shown by the
quality and efficiency which they in
sist upon in the manufacture OF gas
burning appliances. The efficiency OF
gas stoves and the efficiency and dura
bility of gas ranges is one item which
has been greatly improved since the
gas companies began to recommend
only such appliances as have been
thoroughly tested and which the com

RADICAL CHANGES.
A conversation with one of the Off
cials of this new concern disclosed sew
eral features which win probably be In
teresting to It's consumers and the gem
eral public. He said IN part: I'm proba-
bly, no other business has there been
such radical change In policy as may
be found In the gas business in the at
ttude which the gas companies now
adays maintain toward their consumers.
The time was, and not many years ago
when IL was almost common by-word
that the gas company would charge its
consumers with bills for gas according
to the way they felt about II or accord
ing TO how much money they thought
they needed from each customer each
month The consumers wishes were
seldom on never regarded and their
requests for little ACCOMMODATIONS were
practically unheeded The thought and
study OF gas men was confined chiefly
to Improvements in gas making mach
inery and distribution Of their product.
sysetms of mains. etc, and these have
been so greatly improved within the
last few years that 1t has come to
point where the building of gas works
has been reduced to a science and
system of mains is nowadays laid out
by the strictest rules of engineering.
PUSHING THE PRODUCT.
Another great Improvement is in the
policy Of gas companies with refer
ence to the way in which they deal with
the public. Instead of letting the gas
advertise itself as heretofore the gas
companies are now pushing their pro-
duct and advertising It much The same
as a grocer a dry goods man, or any
other merchant would push his wares.
They are also eXerting much greater
effort 20 have pleased and well satisfied
consumers. Every company has its
force of trouble men" men who are
ready at almost a moments notice to
call on any customer and adjust burn
ers. to stop leaks in gas pipes. and
look after the efficiency of appliances
to see that everything Is in the best of
working order. II is Il recognized fact
and a logical one that in order to
sell large quantities of gas the COM
pany must see that consumers appli-
ances are kept at their highest efiicien-
cy and that they give entire satisfaction
and the result is that the consumer is
not only well satisfied with his own re-
suits but he Immediately makes OF him.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF DOGS.

Turks in Constantinople Treat the
Animals Considerate1y.
The dogs are a great feature Of Con-
stantinople and, indeed, Of all Turkish
towns. They lie about In amiable
heaps In the sunshine and are most
considerably treated by the Turks,
though occasionally they suffer at the
hands Of Greeks or Ar1nenians. One

THE CHAMOIS.

Ways Of the Shy Animals Of the
Mountains Of Europe.
Exciting sport, the more exciting be-
cause Of the hardships connected with
it. is offered by channels hunting in the
mountains of Europe. The channels
are found everywhere In the highest
mountains Of Germany, Austria, Swift
erland, In Pennsylvania, in the Car
pathians, also in the Alps, and these
extremely shy animals are regarded by
all true huntmen as the most desir-
able of all game. The channels belongs
to the antelope species; but unlike
it's kin Of the broad plains, it pre-
fers the barren wilds Of the high noun
tains, and, like the mountain sheep, the
ibex and the mouflon, it selects in this
territory full of chasms and canyons
the most impossible regions as its lair.
During the summer months the cham
OILS roams In the higher attitudes, but
in the winter time 1t must descend to
find Its feed. After feeding 1t returns
to Its old impossible hooks, where 1t
feels secure. As In the case Of the
deer. the male Is called a buck and the
female a doe y but, unlike all other an
imals Of this kind, both sexes are an
TERED, the horns being called "kricke-
lor," but those Of the doe are somewhat
lighter than those of the buck. The
doe brings forth one fawn every year,
sometimes two, but very seldom three,
which are very dearly loved by the
mother and which she protects against
all dangers.-Outer's Book.
