Editor Tribune and friends at Lyn-
dem We are still going east. In
my last letter l told you Of my first
day in Chicago. We stayed in the city
until Monday morning and then left
without seeing several places which
we had planned to see, but we expect
to stop a day or two on our return.
On Monday evening we arrived at
Erie, Penn. There we visited with a
cousin we had not seen since we were
children together. Her husband and
son are proprietOrs Of the Erie Gas
Stove Works. Their stoves are sold In
Seattle. San Francisco. and all the
principal cities Of the west. Erie is a
city Of about 10000 people and has
the appearance Of western city on
account of the many sm0ke-stacks.

They do not seem to realize that we

the farms of our Great-grand-father

where our father lived. We saw the
tombstones, marking the graves where
one Grandmother, two Great-grand-
mothers, and one Great-great-grand-

passed into other hands, although the
graves are protected by an old rail
fence. but the graves are still taken

MO LICENSE INCREASE.

Some Salt Lake hotel keepers and
merchants seem to be laboring under
the theory that under an ordinance
passed recently by the council the Ii
cense taxes were increased. This is an
erroneous idea. 1t is true that an ordi-
nance on the subject of license taxes
was passed, but the measure did not
provide for any increase. Acting upon
the recommendation of the expensive
auditing commission that has been go
ing through the city's books, the coun-
ell has undertaken to systematic the
collection Of these taxes.
An assessor of licenses, very much on
the order of a tax assessor, has been
named. 1t is this officials duty to Wis
it hotels and other places of business
coming under the provisions of the old
ordinance, and inspect them. They are
required to pay in proportion to the
number of their rooms or the amount
invested in the business. Merchants pay
from 500 a year in the first class to
$40 year in Glass %. Boarding houses,
electricians, plumbers, drain layers, and
all others who were required to pay Ii
cense taxes under the old ordinance are
required to pay under the new one,
and the amounts are the same.
There is this difference, however.
EMISSIONS under the old ordinance, eth
er because it was loosely drawn or be-
cause it was not properly enforced, were
being required TO pay the full amount
of their taxes are protesting that an
increase has been made. They are sim
ply being compelled to settle up prop
erly. That is all there is to the mat
ter.

TO SAVE THE
LIVES OF MINERS

In order to protect miners from gas
and coal dust explosions the govern
ment is going TO begin experiments,
probably at Pittsburg.
A station is to be established, says
discovery, consisting of an explosive
gallery, rescue room, observation room,
lamp testing rooms and explosives lab
oratory The gallery is to be made of
boiler plate and will be in the form of
a cylinder, 100 feet long and six feet
in diameter. A series of safety valves
on hinges will be arranged along the
top to allow the escape of gas following
an explosion.
Portfolios along the sides, covered
with half-inch plate glass, will allog
those in the observation house to see
whether an explosion has taken place
in the gallery during the tests. The
cylinder will be filled with firedamp
and air, or coal dust and air, and the
explosives will be hurled into the gal
lery by means of a steel mortar fired
by electricity from an observation
house sixty feet away. The maximum
quantity of each explosive that can
safely be used in mines will be pub
lished under the head of Permissible
Explosives"
A pressure gauge will be used for
measuring the actual pressure in
pounds per square inch developed by
the detonation of various explosives.
The analysis of the products of COM
bustion will also be made. The heat
of decomposition of all explosives in
terms of calories will be ascertained
by decorating large quantities in a
bomb.
The explosives will be fired from the
-
flame will be determined by photog-
raphy. The time of the flame will also
be determined by an electrical appara-
tus.
The rescue room will resemble the
interior of a mine and during tests will
be filled with smoke. The efficiency of
all apparatus for sustaining life will be
determined by a series of tests. Min
ers will be shown how TO rescue their
fellow miners.
The experiments will be under the
direction of Joseph A. Holmes, chief of
the technologic branch of the geological
survey.

CHARITY FUNDS NEEDED.

The Herald hopes the Salt Lake pub
lie viii respond generously to the APP
peal made by the committee for the
Salt Lake Charity association for funds
with which to carry on the work of
the organization. The committee esti-
mates that $4,000 will be needed during
the next ninety days to meet the calls
that will be made upon it for assist
ance. 1t is pointed out that the de-
pressed industrial and financial condi-
tons of the last few months have re-
suited in the throwing of hundreds of
men out of employment. Many of these
men have families dependent upon
them. They have been able to save
very little, if any, money.
Most of the men are able and will
ing to work. but they cannot find en-
plOyment. 1t would be wise charity
for citizens to find work for as many of
them az possible around their homes,
cleaning out furnaces, carrying out
ashes, doing odd jobs of repair work,
cleaning up yards. But enough work of
that sort to keep the army of unem-
ployed busy can hardly be found. The
rest and their families must be provided
for through avenues of charity. And
there is no better place to give than the
Salt Lake Charity association.
The officers of this body are men of
integrity and ability. They know the
conditions thoroughly. 1t has been
their business to find out who is in need
of help, who deserves assistance. Mon
ey given to them will be put to the
uses intended BY the donors. Every
dollar of it will do actual service in the
relief of distress, the alienation of suf-
fering. Do not wait moment before
sending in your check. Make your do
nation as large as you can, but do not
forget that small amounts will be
thankfully received.
The treasurer of the Charity associa-
ton is NJ. H. Walker. Checks and money
should be sent to him at Walker Broth
ers' bank. And don't be afraid too much
money will be raised. The association
has asked for only $4,000. but this is a
minimum, not a maximum amount.
Two or three times $4,000 could be used
10 splendid advantage. 1t wouldn't be
much trouble, even in these so-called
hard times, to raise $4,000 or O,OOo with
which to entertain a convention of
some sort.
Provisions for the hungry, clothing
for naked backs, fires on chilled hearths
and in cold stoves, are all more neces-
sary than the entertainment of any
body of delegates. The people for whom
we bespeak charity are our own peo-
pie, and HE that provideth not for his
own hath denied the faith and is worse
than an infidel."
