SUBJECTED TO HEAT AND COLD.


The jury's. task was a severe one, the
tests of each beer extending over a con-
siderable time. Pabst blue Ribbon beer,
along with all the others, was for weeks
alternately subjected to extreme degrees
OF heat and cold. OF all the beers SO
tested Pabst "Blue Ribbon beer was the
only one found upon examination to re-
tain all the properties originally con-
tanned in the brew. 1t was finally deter
mined that the "Blue Ribbon beer took
first place among all the other varieties
submitted by American and European
breweries. Consequently the highest pos.
sible honors of the exposition were
awarded.
The fact. that the American beer took
first phce was all the more remarkable
from the fact that it was necessarily
transported a great distance, a factor
that might ordinarily have been a decided
handicap as against the other beers sent
to Antwerp. The time that the beer Was
in transit from the brewery in Milwaukee
was something like four weeks, and It Is
a generally accepted theory that beer
loses through transportation. The Pabet
beer apparently was unaffected. It's dura-
billty and pureness were found upon ex-
animation to be without fault.
The exposition at Antwerp this year
was held during the months of June, July
and August, the months in which the
tourist travel is largest. 1t was opened
by King Leopold, under whose protecto-
rate II was held, the various monarchies
and the French republic appointing dele
gates to represent them in the interna-
tional show, The exhibits were placed
In the great building erected several yer a
ago at Antwerp and designed especial,
for large expositions of the nature Of the
pure food show. The juries appointed
to make tests in the several depart
ments of the exposition were appointed
by the Belgian minister of education with
the approval of the different nations par
ticipating in the gathering, the members
being selected with special view to their
peculiar fitness to judge of the merits Of
the products coming under their exam
nation. One of the noted members of
the jury which undertook the stipend
Gus task Of testing the bottled beers and
awarding prizes was Prof. Alfred JoTgen.
sen OF Copenhagen, Denmark, than whom
there is no better known authority on
the subject of scientific and hygienic
brewing. Others ON the jury were men
OF undoubted ability in their line. The
fact that the host of exhibitors in the
department of brewing unanimously ap-
proved of tho membership of the jury be-
speaks their ability.
II is probable that the awards now in
the care of the Pabst Brewing company
will be placed on exhibition at an
early date, it being the desire of the Of
fcials to permit the public at large to
examine the medals and diploma signi-
flying the par excellence of Pabst Blue
Ribbon Beer.

High Water and
The Consequences.

With the lake above compro-
mise point and all mountain
streams swollen to the capacity
of their channels we are called
upon to witness sights not unlike
those of old times but wholly un-
like anything witnessed for sew
eral years. Low land in many
instances is being flooded with
water. On some of this low land
buildings or other improvements
have been made during the dry
seasons. These of course are
being damaged seriously, and
should the water continue to rise
for any length of time many of
them will be ruined. This is
especially the case near Salt Lake
and Ogden, but is more or less
true in other parts of the state.
We are so apt to forget that
what has been may at any time
occur again. We build houses,
railroads or even cities with little
regard to whether the old con
ditions have passed forever, and
must therefore occasionally come
in contact with natures forces in
the shape Of floods, earthquakes
volcanoes, etc.
Experience and good iudgmonr
would suggest care in locating
improvements and yet not Sc
much caution that the spirit o
progress would thereby be re
torded Either extreme is dan
gerous. The man who thought
lcssly invests his means in enter
prises with little possibility o
success is unwise. But no NOR,
is he who, for fear of sustaining d
loss, fails to take part in improv
ing and building.
