,ITHE Judge and the Jury" that
very popular Morosco-Cottrell
pIav which hold the hoa rdq all |

EITHE Judge and the Jury" that
very popular Morosco-Cottrell
play which held the boards all
last week, started on it's second lap
yesterday, and promises to run the
week out just as strong as ever. In
fact, IL the powers that be are inclined,
there is no reason why 1t shouldn't
stay at the Burbank for several weeks
to come. Los Angeles likes IL despite
New York's adverse verdict, and GER
tainly 1t is a scenic production to de-
light the eye, no matter what criticism
may be leveled against It's dramatics.
The present cast, all around, Is the
best that the drama has had. Mace
Greenleaf and Mary Van Buren, are
fine players, and yet they are really
put in subsidiary roles. When actors
of their caliber are relegated to minor
positions 1t can readily be seen that an
overplus of talent is available. OF
course William Desmond plays Chill
cate, the leading part, and though New
York may not have found him the
ideal matinee idol, you can't shake the
Burbankers' faith in him.
The real gem of the play is Maquita
as interpreted by Maude Gilbert. Here
is the real girl of the west. superbly
done, with ain intelligence that makes
the most of every line and situation.
Miss Gilbert has done many things
during her stay in Los Angeles-which
may be long, all hope-but in no role
has she appeared to better advantage
than in this. She has caught the very
essence of the part, and she brings out
all its meaning excellently. The large
company is all to the good, and the mob
scene is exceedingly we'll managed. OF
course two large houses greeted it yes
them for the coming seven days, too.
Special matinees are also announced
for nearly every night.

"BUSTER BROWN" is
STILL PACKING THEM
INTO GRAND THEATER

"Buster Brown" is still giving good
advice to children and making life
pleasant for their elders at the Grand;
he took a new lease of life there yes
terday, and will last another week.
The show is a bright and fetching me-
lange, with good chorus Of pretty
and nimble girls, who fill in the gaps
while Buster changes his clothes after
a fresh escapade, or Tige retires to rest
up a bit from his last prank.
There is something very fascinating
about this show made from the comic
supplements, and children and grown
ups alike have been flocking to see 1t
for a week agone. 1t Is certain to pack
them for the coming seven days, too.

OF this cozy little playhouse just what

many hearty encores is any criterion
of the satisfaction felt by the auditors.
THE Cowboys GIRL as the name inn

the scenes being laid in western Texas,
and while showing some evidence of
the border drama, the plot Of the play
is strong and tells a pretty story Of
western life, with plenty of good COM

Auto Poker Now
Since the district attorney has made
this closed town and put the lid down
on gambling the man who must bet has
found new diversion. 1t is "auto
poker" Along the White way. in the
vicinity of Forty-second street, where
the kerosene cart is thicker than the
glowing lights, the new "bug' game
has taken hold for the time being, at
least. Auto poker is nothing more or
less than numerical poker, and it is
played in this manner: Along comes
choo-choo car No. 1851. The bookmak-
er and the players agree on the number,
bets are paid. Payment is based on
the nearest previous guess to the best
poker hand contained in the auto num-
Der, the numeral IL" equaling the ace.
The numbers show, therefore, three
aces. In the same way an auto may
reveal three or four deu IS, three or
four treys, three or four fours, and so
on. The bookmaker takes all bets on
any odd number, but pays off only to
the holder of the highest hand. The
game is destined to put the bookmak-
ers out of busienss, however, for the
chauffeurs and their friends are next"
and the game is already being
plugged" by them. Knowing the num-
ber of their own auto, they send their
friends along the line to get down a bet,
and then comes the auto, the number
prominently displayed, the willy chauf-
feur sitting with apparent Indifference
at the tiller.

airy work was done by different denom-
nations. \and the young peoples socie-
ties connected with the various denom-
nations were active throughout the
year.
In art. music and literature much
was accomplished. There were achieve
nients recorded during the year that
appealed with force to the citizenship
of the state; there were notable mu-
steal events, and the women's clubs
especially kept alive interest in liter
allure and magnified the Importance of
IL Csc things that appeal to mems high
er nature. The tourist travel was
heavy throughout the year. The nat
uraJ beauties of the state and the
points of historical interest attracted
their thousands, and many of these
carried good Impressions of Utah to
their distant homes. On the whole. 1907
vas great year in Utah, and the rec
ord made by the state is worthy of all

UTAH'S FORWARD MARCH
WAS STEADY DURING YEAR
Every Branch Of Human Industry Marked by
Prosperity Which for Ten Months
Was Phenomenal.
Successful Campaign in Behalf of Home Manufactures, Both
in Utah and in Other States, Feat
ufe of the TWevemonth.

Utah in the year 1907 kept step and
never faltered in the march of civili-
zauon. In every important branch of
human endeavor this commonwealth
gives good account of herself at the
close of the year. Every citizen has
Just cause fer feeling proud over the
/ record made. From end to end of the
/ state and in every branch of industry
! there has been prosperity throughout
the year. With the opening of the new
year Utah looks out upon a brighter
prospect than has before greeted her
eyes since the pioneers wound down
into the valley through Emigration
canyon sixty years ago.
Mining Still Holds the Lead.
At the head of the procession of the
states Industries must be. placed min
ing, of course. Never before was there
such general activity in mining: never
before were such good results obtained.
For the first ten months of the year
the record made was phenomenal.
Then came the finsncial crash i'm the
east with radical drop i'm the price
of the metals among other direct re-
suits. The effect of this was instan
taneOus in the mining camps of the
state. Some mines closed down. MANY
others retrenched and reduced their
output, luIIS CLOSED or reduced their
working force, and the same is true of
the smelters-~ Yet, i'm spite of all this.
the record made for the year is one to
cause pride. The total output of pre-
cious metals for the year is upward of
SolOOO,OO0, with dividends running
above 100000 The inspiring story of
the work done along this line during
the year will be found i'm detail else
where in this issue of The Herald. 1t
Will be seen that in Park City. Bing-
nam, Tintic, Alta. Beaver county and
all the other great mining districts of
the state thsre has been DEVELOPMENT
ana intelligent prosecution OF extrac-
ton work. The milling and smelling
OF the ores, so closely identified with
mining, has been prosecuted vigorous
~. The action of the courts in ham
perlng smelling in the valley has been
met with commendable spirit by the
smelling companies and, as the result.
other locations have been secured for
the smelters in localities where there
viii be no opposition on the part of
The farmers While this necessitv for
removal has acted as a check on the
smelling industry. it is well understood
trait the check is but temporary, and
tEat in a short time a larger tonnage
OF ore Will be smelted in the state than
ever before.

Cry for Homemade Goods.

Manufacturing reached high water
mark in Utah in the year just closing.
Never before was so large a percentage
OF the raw material of the state con-
sumed at home. Never before did To-
cal manufacturers make so strong an
appeal for the consumption of home
made produce. Never before did the
local manufacturers reach out with
such determination for share of the
trade IN the surrounding territory.
Ihere are good reasons for this. In the
first place, the Manufacturers & Mer-
chans association has exerted a pow
erIul influence in pushing home man
fractures and in stimulating a senti-
ment among the citizens of the state
in favor of homemade goods. Sugar
holds the lead among Utah manufac-
lures. Other important items are con-
fectlonery, tents and awnings. fur
goods, foundry output, tinware. cigars.
drugs and medicines. soap, flour boots
and shoes, knit goods, salt. furniture
and fixtures, brick and lumber. b, The
total value of the manufactured arti-
cles in the state, including smelling.
will exceed 100000 OO for the year.

What, Education Is Doing.

But it must not be taken for granted
that all development in the state is
along material lines. There was never
q time when education was receiving
so much attention. There was never
schools was so high. There was never
a time when there was d larger per-
centage of the children of school age
I'm the state i'm school, and there was
never n time when finer opportunities
for education were presented to the
youth of the state. The school system
running from the ungraded school in
the small country district up through
the graded school. the high school and
the university. is all that the most ex-
acting could demand. 1t places the adj
Vantages of free education within the
grasp of every child in the state. 1t
costs vast sums of money, and is very
near to the hearts of all citizens 1t is
having 4 powerful effect for good on
the citizenship Of the state. Good
school buildings are going up in all
parts of the state; the best instructors
obtajnable are being employed and
nothing is being left undone to have
the public schools of the state fill their
mission completely. Reinforcing the
public schools are UNCONVENTIONAL
schools of various kinds in various
parts of the state. In Salt Lake City a
large variety of schools are presented
to the parents who desire training diff
ferent from that given in the public
schools.

Good Record Made by Livestock.

Livestock moved forward in 1907 as
one of Utah's great sources of wealth.
Owing to heavy rain and snowfalls.
coupled with mild winters, recent years
have been particularly favorable to
livestock. Grazing on the ranges has
been good, and both cattle and sheep
have Jared better than in previous
years. Sheep raising has been partic-
uiarly prosperous. Landing in the
spring has been more successful. the
sheep are remarkably free from disease

Farms Produce Great Wealth.

Agriculturists have enjoyed unusual
prosperity in 1907. This is due in mart
to heavier rainfall than usual; in part
to higher prices for all kinds of farm
products, and in part to more SYSTEM
attic and scientific farming. Wheat still
holds the lead among the products of
the farm. 1t is raised successfully in
almost all parts of the state. 1t is
raised both by irrigation and by dry
farming. 1t is raised both from fall
and spring planting. The quality of
the grain raised is good, and as a large
part of the output is ground into -four
and consumed at home. the prices hold
good. Other farm products that make
their influence felt in the total are
sugar beets, oats, alfalfa, fruit and
vegetables. In this connection may be
mentioned the great victory wen i'm the
dry farming congress held in Califor-
mia. In that congress Utah carried all
before her with her exhibit of grains,
grasses and fruits. When it is realized
that the awards were won in compe-
tition with the best states i'm the arid
west the importance of the achieve
ment will be fully realized. No state
could have received a more valuable
advertisement under the circumstances.
1t is certain to exert marked. influ-
ence in settling up the state with
bCmeseeekers from outside.
InN this same connection the work
along the lines of dry farming is
worthy of consideration. Scientific ex-
reriments have demonstrated that
much of the land in the state generally
considered worthless for farming pur-
poses, is capable of raising good crops
of grain. More intelligent treatment
of the soil is producing good results,
and the vast areas of rich bench lands
which uD to this time have lain idle,
now promise to be a source of great
wealth to the state. Great good is ex-
pected to result from the dry farming
congress TO be held in this city the last
week in January 1903
