that the people should go away with
the souvenir made of Utah copper,
which was given them, rather than that
they should have to buy a memento.
The tremendous influence and i'm
preston made upon the fair visitors by
the appearance of the High school ca
diets and the Tabernacle choir cannot
be overestimated. The cadets were
characterized as the finest organized
corps ever seen in the west, and il is
complimentary to the cadets that after
being seen at the fair the University Of
Washington is now preparing to organ
ize corps, and Oregon is expected to
follow soon.
1T was unfortunate that any Difficult
ty arose in connection with the choir,
but after all it was the best thing for
their popularity. They did just right
in refusing to pay to hear themselves
sing. and the fair officials and the peo-
pie of Seattle were on the choir's side.

STATE ENGINEERS
EXTENSION VALID
Utah County Light & Power
Company Wins Case Ap-
pealed by Pool.

In an opinion handed down yesterday
by the supreme court, written by Jus
tice j. Z. Frick, and concurred in by
the other justices, the decision of Judge
John E. Booth of the Second district
court is affirmed in the case of William
H. Pool against the Utah County Light
& Power company, which was appealed
by Pool
The supreme court defines the power
of the state engineer to grant water
rights and extensions, and holds that in
this particular case the engineer had a
right to grant an extension to the light
and power company after its first time
limit had expired by a few days
The company had spent more than
$4,000 on its plant in Utah county
when its limit of eighteen months ran
out, following the approval of its appli-
cation for 100 second feet of water from
American Fork creek in Utah county
by the state engineer on March 16, 1905.
But the corporation neglected for a
month 20 have an extension made. The
extension was later asked and granted.
Pool had been granted 100 second feet
of water from the same creek on Dec. 6,
1906, and later made the claim that the
state engineer had exceeded his right
in extending the time for the power
company.
I'VE do not wish to be understood as
holding that the state engineer may ar
bltrarily extend the time limits fixed
by him at any time and under all cir
cumstances," says the supreme court.
but in the Pool case the state engineer
did not exceed his authority In grant
ing the extension"

.GORING NOT MURDERED
Police Make Thorough Investigation
Which Shows Clearly That Fall

Police investigation yesterday of the
accidental death Monday of Ernest
Goring, an aged German, in the Cres-
cent rooming house at S29 South State
street, completely disproved the theory
of murder advanced by Edmund J. Cor
ing, decedent's son. To Acting Coroner
Stanley A. Hanks the son declared that
his father had been robbed of about
$50. He added that his father was not
drinking man, and was not killed by
a fall.

and had started drinking from a second
bottle, which was found in his pocket
when he was picked up at the foot of
the stairs.
Instead of being lax, as the son as

VISITS OF STORK
HURTING SOCIETY
Social Purity Advocate Says
American Parents Must
Study EugenicS.

Broad and comprehensive handling of
the subject of social purity" by Mrs.
Mary E. Teats, national purity evan
gelist of the w. c. T. T., at the Central
Christian church yesterday afternoon,
formed a most interesting and instruc-
tive lecture. Mrs. Teats, a sweet-faced,
gray-haired woman, described the de-
pravity of present-day immortality in
its naked ugliness. In the course of her
talk she said:
Every child should have the right to
a perfect birth. Persons lacking in in
telligent knowledge of the duties and
needs of true parentage commit the
gravest crimes against the child itself
and against society when they bring a
babe into the world lacking in health
and proper hereditary influences.
Through the blood of our ancestry
can be traced the prophecies of destiny.
This is a scientific fact. While we can
not remedy the blood of our ancestry,
we can direct the destiny Of posterity.
In the laboratories and class rooms
of our great Institutions of learning
thousands Of dollars and years of toll
are spent in study of the lower organ
isms of life Scientists have spent their
lives testing and experimenting along
the lines of pTOcreatiOn in the lesser or
uerS or lie, but never yet ha5 the great
est study of the world, that of human
procreatiOn and its immense possibili-
ties through intelligent understanding
OF It's laws, been touched upon. Through
false modesty the youth of our land
is kept in yelled ignorance of the laws
of their own being while they spend the
best years of their lives delving into
knowledge whose application is far less
important to life itself"
Mrs. Teats declared that home life
must be corrected and placed upon an
intelligent, sacred basis before a race
OF human beings capable of inheriting
the kingdom Of heaven can be born.
Mrs Teats is founder of the Chicago
correspondence school for the spreading
OF the gospel and scientific eugenics.
This afternoon Mrs. Teats will address
the boys Sunday classes of the Y. Nj.

To The Herald-Republican Mr.. Rowe
said yesterday:
ut is difficult to express in words Just
what the Utah exhibit at the Alaska
YukOn-Paciflc exposition meant to the
state. Its value as showing the peo-
pie just what Utah is and can do is in
appreciable. The register book in the
Utah building shows AZ 200 signatures
and by far the larger number of these
learned something new about Utah.
The Best of All.
"As for the general exhibit. I think
we had the best of all the states; in
fact, that was the general comment.
Our building, modelled after the Hopi
Indian pueblo. aside from its unique
character, possessed an educational fea-
ture, rejecting in its architecture the
life Of a hundred years ago and more.
Our mineral exhibit was made the
central attraction, and took the grand
prize against all competitors. The va
rious minerals were all grouped and
tabulated in such way that even a
child could understand. On each case.
too, was a tabulated statement showing
the mineral production of the state from
the time of the opening of the industry.
I'm the agricultural and horticultural
department we again took the grand
prize, and the value of that is added to
when it is considered that we were in
direct competition with the wheat belts
of the northwest. We earned this prize
on the quality of the seed and germina-
ton. In the latter respect we were Z
per cent ahead of any other exhibit. We
also took first prize for cherries on
Cherry day, July l.
In the manufacturer section we
took close to twenty medals and prizes.
Among them were W. Q. Knudson,
Brigham City, grand prize for fruits
and vegetables; Wasatch Canning COM
pany. gold medal for asparagus and
beans; Utah-Idaho Sugar company.
gold medal for sugar and molasses:
Mount Pickle company, gold medal for
olives and pickles; Thomas Judd, gold
medal for grapes and peaches. Gold
medals were also awarded to Utah for
honey and the collective exhibit of dried
fruits.
In school work we took seven prizes,
the feature of the exhibit attracting the
most attention being the work of the
manual training pupils. A striking con-
trast in the various exhibits of this
character was that the work shown by
us was done by the second, third and
fourth year grades, while the other ex-
hibits contained the work of more adj
vanced pupils.
Nothing for Sale.
zone thing 1 am proud of is that
aside from the government building.
Utah's building was the only one on the
hax
