FIND PURE WATER
DEEP IN GROUND
Experiments With Well Driving
Have Been Successful in
Cedar Valley.

T. c. CalIister, secretary of the state
board OF land commissioners, yesterday
received the final report of the men in the
field who have been experimenting with
bores in Cedar valley In Beaver county.
This information is to be used in connec-
ton with data TO be submitted to the leg
stature with a view to action as to the
distribution Of the aubterannean waters
found.
The report of the we'll drivers show that
water was encountered at a depth of l6O
feet from the surface. The drills were
continued to a depth OF go feet. and there
pressure sufficient was met 10 bring a
flow of twelve gallons minute This
flow is sufficient to furnish water for
nearly score II farms for culinary and
domestic purposes
The last legislature appropriated s., 500
for the purpose OF carrying on experiments
in the location of underground streams
and reservoirs OF water that might be
used for culinary and domestic service in
conjunction with the work carried on
along the same lines by the government.
An interesting item in connection with
the success of well-driving in the Cedar
valley, even its experimental stage, is
that the water that now comes to the
surface costs only one-fourth of a cent
gallon, whereas the carrying of water in
tanks. and of inferior quality. has run
In cost in the neighborhood of two and
half cents and even higher.
Question of Distribution.
The proposition therefore arises and Is
che in which the land board is vitality in
terested, as 10 how best this water can be
put TO use One OF the plans suggested is
to pass a law. following in a general way
the provisions of the Carey land act. per-
mitting a corporation to develop these wa
Ter supplies and then TO permit their sale.
under some system OF state supervision,
TO the people who use the water.
At this time work is progressing on a
project at Salt Wells in Box Elder coun-
~. and on Dec l, when the land board
meets again two other propositions will
be considered. and contracts may be let
for work IN the southern part OF the
state. One is in the Levan ridge country
and TIE other in Dog valley, in Juab
county.
IL is expected that the utilization of the
subterannean waters will be one of the
important matters TO be treated by the
governor in his annual message and one

Of the Legislature. The fact that the ex-
periments thus far made have been sue
e-ssful 1t is esteemed, Will have much
weight toward inducing the lawmakers TO
give further attention to the question.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Man of the Hour'-again It's an
entertaining show, which came once more
TO the Salt Lake theatre last evening
but. Ike most of the other offerings or
that house this season, it's no novelty
Nevertheless, there Is some interest in
opening the covers of a book which has
been read year or more before-pro-
vided the book has merit TO begin with
and there is entertainment in The Man
OF the Hour. even for the second or
third time. The principal interest is in
the drawing of characters and in the
big city. The play might almost as well
be monologue narrative, SO far as &C
ton Is concerned. There is little of a
really effective sort in the action or the
business" The whole story is unfoldel
in the lines. Consequently a heavier bur-
den than usual is-thrown on the perform
-ers. themselves. and the weak places in
the east are all emphasized
Inefts are two real actors in the COM
pany this year They are Louis Hend-
rtcks, who takes the part of Richard Hor-
rigan, the boss. and Felix Hanev. as Al
derman James Phelan. Both were the
stand-byes OF last year Hendricks rises
well to the difficult role of the coarse
and brutal. Yet forceful and cunning no.
ntfcal boss, while Haney's rich broe1e
and delicious swagger are a double ioy
The rest of the company are mere filters
IN. William Lamp. as the hero, tries hard
but he doesn't arrive. Neither do the
rest.
Notwithstanding these and other short
comlngs, The Man OF the Hour is a
strong portrayal of certain phases of
modern American life. and its local pre-
sentation is especially timely in view Of
the fact that an important political cam
paign has just drawn to a close Tn,
piece will run until Wednesday even

The lessons drawn from the fatal ac-
cident of the Wright flying machine are,
first, that wood is too unreliable for
such construction. The breaking of
one of the blades of the propeller pre-
cipitated the accident. Naturally, in
constructing the machine the Wright
brothers gave too small a margin of
safety. Weight was all-important, and
they reduced the weight of material too
near the danger line The machine is,
in fact a form of bridge with light
wooden struts and thin piano wires
doing the duty of trusses. When an
additional passenger was taken on all
of the delicate adjustments of the ma
chine were deranged, the light frame
work subjected to unexpected strains
of weight and vibration, and with the
narrow margin of safety an accident
was 10 be feared. The use of two pro-
pellers is also criticised, as the break
ing of one has tendency to make the
machine iopsided and dangerous. After
the breaking Wright made a fine effort
to recover himself. but apparently
pulled one of the rudders in the wrong
direction, SO that the aeroplane after
partially righting itself took sudden
and sharp plunge to the ground.

THE MOUNTAIN PEOPLE REJOICE.

The newspapers of Salt Lake City and
of neighboring towns are deeply graft
fled over the, decision of the National
EncampmentGt to go to Salt Lake City,
and are stirring up their people to give
the veterans an entertainment that they
will remember as long as they live. The
Salt Lake City Republican thinks that
the Encampnnent' will be the biggest
thing in the history of the city, and that
the people cannot do too much to pre-
pare for it. The papers of Ogden are
talking in similar way, and preparing
to receive great numbers Of veterans
who attend the Encampment. Ogden
is beautiful little city Of about 10000
people, very ambitious and desirous of
the advertisement in the East that will
be given by royal entertainment of
the veterans.
w. A Hodgman, Past Commander of
E. d. Baker Post, of Ogden, writes en-
Enthusiastically for his comrades to go
there and see the wonderful scenery,
receive the hospitality of the city, be-
come acquainted with the people, enjoy
the marvellous climate and eat of the
delicious fruits of the land. Nowhere
in the world can they find as fine fruit,
especially peaches.

Arkansas has been sadly misrepresent-

the rough lands in the western part of

A mathematician has been figuring
out that in the heavy Pullman cars two
tons of weight are used to carry $50
pounds of passenger. This is an excess
of vehicle overload not approached any,
where else. The big touring cars weigh
about $500 pounds and carry seven pas
sengers, making an average Of 800
pounds per passenger. A bicycle weigh
ing 25 pounds will carry 150-pound
man IL to is miles an hour without
danger of accident. The old-fashioned
buggy weighs 800 pounds, and will carry
two passengers at from Is to 90 miles
an hour. What adds much to the pro-
portionate weight of the Pullman cars
is the length they are now being built
This requires a heavy, strong bridge
truss to support them and resist all the
stresses. It is believed that the future
will see more of the bridge builder and
less of the car builder in all passenger
coaches, with the use OF improved
trusses, and especially of steel instead
of wood, to greatly reduce the weight.

Bill and the Flag,

(By Franklin Dudley, Peoria, IIl)
big Bill'' we called him. He was one
of the best hands on the ship,
But he had an awful temper, and would
often let it slip.
When he got out of kilter and things
didn't suit him just right,
Bill was just a roarin' tornado, and at a
drop would fight.
A better friend you couldn't have, tho,
than Bill to help you out.
He'd stand between you and trouble;
his courage you couldn't doubt
One day he got bad spell on: the Cap
tain had called him down.
He swore agin all creation, acted like a
bloomin' clown.
He even turned his fearful ragin' ag'in
his eountry's flag;
Said it was a poor creation, just a dirty
colored rag.
That night he left his station, went
tearin' up the Spanish street,
Addin' to the drink he'd taken, jostlin'
ey'ry one he'd meet
A dance hall was in progress; he heard
voice in ribald song;
He turned in to see the doin's, and just
help the fun along
A girl was on the platform, dressed in
some bright and fancy clothes,
Dancin', singin' and cayortin' in a way
the Spanish knows
In the midst of the performance she
raised up Yankee flag,
Then dashed it on the footboards, and
said it was dirty rag.
She stamped upon the colors, spit upon
the sacred stripes,
Then turned to receive the plaudits as
on it her feet she wipes.
AS the situation dawned upon him,
Bill's blood was turned to fire.
He started in to do some actin; that
scene had raised his ire.
In a second he had bounded like a
wild man on the stand;
Pushed the girl back, not gently, and
waved Old Glory in his hand.
He Gefied the Spanish Nation, and each
greaser in the hall;
Invited 'em to come forward: said he'd
lick 'em one and all.
This caused great commotion they all
cum crowdin' up pell-mell.
Bill swung out, altho surrounded. his
blows struck like shot and shell.
In the middle of the carnage (Bill had
almost lost the figh):
The Captain and a ships crew, with
arms aready, hove in sight.
The greasers in a second scatter'd, the
fghtin' all was thru:
Bill surrendered to the Captain, which
was all that he could do.
But the Captain made statement, that
cum out of his heart:
They'll drumhead you for desertin'
but I'm goin' to take your part.
I'll make a plea for 1enience because
you made that des'prit fight;
You was defendin' of the flag, SO you
can't be fur from right"
The National tribune., 1908-10-01


The speech of Mr. B. F. Yoakum to
in convention at Columbus, o., is full of
meat for thought. 1t showed closely the
intimate connection between capital and
labor, and how each was dependent to
the last degree upon the other. The
employees of the railroads of America
earned by the roads. The firemen's pay
roll last year amounted to $4,000, 900,
but since the October panic this has
been reduced to about s45,000.000 a
year. The firemen receive an average
Of s760 per annum. against $500 per
Britain The furious agitation over cor
porations is thus hurting the firemen
as much as it does the corporations. AS
an illustration of this he pointed out
that George Harris, the President of the
Burlington Railroad, said that last year
his company bought $4,000 tons of new
rails, but had contracted for none this
year. 1t takes on an average two tons
of iron ore, one ton of coke and one-half
ton of limestone, all of which require
labor to produce them, to make a ton
of steel rails. Thus one railroad by not
purchasing what it needed meant the
loss of 1900 carloads of freight, which
loss must fall heavily on the employe,
as he loses AZ cents out of every dollar
that would have been earned in moving
this freight. Mr.. Yoakum's strongest
point was that altho there is much froth
and scum in the shape of corruption on
the surface of railroad management,
ti..1re is at bottom a solid sub-stratum
of commercial integrity, and that the
business Of this country, with very few
exceptions, is conducted upon lines of
strict honesty. Therefore, war against
corporations merely because they are
corporations is folly, as war against
capital merely because it is capital is
folly, and hurts the laboring class quite
as much as it does the capitalistic class.
Demagogs were quite as injurious TO
labor as TO capital.

The railroads have already demon
strated themselves as among the most
effective of workers in the temperance
cause. Few things have been more
powerful in promoting the spread Of
temperance than the rigid regulations
which the railroads have adopted
against drinking by their employees.
What is more to the point. they have
inflexibly administered these rules. Now
it appears that the railroads are enter
ing the domain of physical culture and
health. A number of roads are putting
applicants for employment thru as rigid
physical examination as recruits for
the Army and Navy must submit to. 1t
has been found that many accidents are
due to the physical incapacity of en-
ployes, and the employers liability bill
puts new responsibilities upon the rail-
roads as to injuries to their employees.
The National tribune., 1908-10-01

A new bullet-proof substance is being
exploited in Europe. and the sensation
alists are throwing their customary fits
over it. Mr. Stead, who has no rival as
the Prince of Sensationalists. writes his
confident belief that a regiment clad in
this stuff could march up to within 100
yards of an enemy and suffer no more
discomfort than if marching thru an
ordinary hail storm. This shows how
little Mr.. Stead knows. If the bullet
proof cuirass should prove an actual
stopper of a bullet, the man wearing it
would still receive such a blow that he
would be out of action for the rest of
the battle, to say the least. The i'm
pact of steel bullet having behind it
force enough to carry it two miles
would be an awful blow for man to
receive even if it did not penetrate his
flesh. 1t would probably hurt him far
less if it went thru him than it would
from the shock of being stopped.
