that time the plan was to estaolsh
a wireless telegraph system between
ogden and Salt Lake, but the scneme
did not materialize. We are OF the
opinion that such a system can oe
successfully operated over short dis'
tances, where there are no interVen-
ing mountain ranges, as through tne
length of Salt Lake valley, but the DAY
seems far distant when wireless mes

There have been several frauds IN

of wireless telegraphy and our peopie
should be slow to accept these wire

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH FOR IN
LAND SERVICE.

A representative of the United
Wireless Telegraph company is here
for the purpose OF establishing wire
less telegraph station. He makes this
statement
The transmission and receiving of
messages by the wireless system is at
the present time well past the expert
mental stage. During the month OF
April-well TO be exact, it was on
April 2S, 1909-the United Wireless,
which owns all Of the patents in the
business, opened offices for CONNER
cial business on the Great Lakes, with
headquarters at Chicago Eighty-two
messages were sent and received at
the stations, and the results were in
each case perfect.
1T will soon become one Of the
greatest public utilities and life-sav-
ing devices of the age. The story of
Jack Binns has been flashed around
the world.
"The cost Of installing the system
is as nothing when compared with
that Of the cable. The Hawaiian is
lands are in communication at the
present moment with San Francisco,
and the cost Of installing the system
was less than $4,000. as compared to
the cost Of the cable, which was more
than s2O,OOO,O0O."

STIR UP ENTHUSIASM FOR

fMnrnine Examiner J

The time Is less than two months
when the national encampment OF the
IG A. r, will be held in Utah, and yet
Ogden has scarcely begun its preparar
tions for the entertainment of those
who will be Ogdens guests during
that national event
The committee of the local G. A.
r and citizens has been planning for
the week of pleasure. but there has
been absent that enthusiasm which Is
essential 10 the success Of public
affair of this nature. Our people are
not taking the interest that tney
should. This is one of the grandes.
opportunities ever presented to tne
residents of ogden to play hosts 70
strangers Of worth and distinction,
This is to be one Of the last great
assemblages Of the old soldiers VINO
fought In the Civil War. This fact
should stir the patriotic blood in ev-
cry son of liberty and equal rights In
this city and draw from this people,
in love of country. the best that Is
within them, assuring the veterans or
the struggle Of the early sixties a
welcome unbounded In enthusiasm and
uneoualed in hospitality.
We know the people of Ogden are
imbued with a patriotism not excelled
anywhere in this nation; they are
loyal. earnest, resolute Americans, but
thew require an arousing to bring out
the exuberant spirit which goes with
these outward expressions of fidelity
and welcome.
1t Is for those who are at the head
OF the proposed entertainment to kin
die the fires of enthusiasm; then Og-
den will be heard from to the delight
and pleasure of those who are so for
tunate as to be our guests.

FOURTH OF JULY AT THE
FAIR GROUNDS.

The Fourth Of July is to be observed
by exercises on the Fair grounds, in
cluding sports and amusements for
the children, to be followed at dark
by brilliant display Of fireworks.
The national holiday should be made
a day Of recreation and 1ollilication,
and, in keeping with that idea, the
program of exercises at the Fair
grounds Is to be made to conform to
the usual Fourth Of July demonstra-
ton.
The fireworks will be handled as
they were last Fall at the Fair
grounds. An experienced man will be
In charge and the crowd present will
be kept beyond all danger. Young
people will not be allowed to enter
the field where the fireworks are be-
ing set off. They will be kept at a
safe distance, where all the beautiful
pieces will be seen to better advantage
than within the danger zone A big
force of officers will be on hand to en-
force this regulation. 1t will be safer
for children to be on the grounds to
watch these fireworks than to be home

Each season the devotees OF the
classic drama anticipate the advent
of Louis James with a reverence and
satisfaction that borders upon venera-
ton, for to him more than any other
living actor can they always look for
an intellectual and histrionic treat,
that in this age of froth and drivel,
lillumines the dramatic horizon with
a rainbow of hope that Is as eagerly
sought as the beacon light Is by a
storm tossed mariner. This season
he has discarded Ibsen and returns to
Shakespeare, a decision welcomed
most heartily, for aside from his his
trionic abilities, nature endowed this
actor with physical attributes that
are distinctly Shakespearean. HIS
coming Offering of Henry VIII"
with himself as the crafty, ambitious
and dominating Wolsey is indeed an
announcement most welcome. Aphle

1.-THE Golden Girl"

All former efforts of that virlle
trio, Hough, Adams and Howard,
have been surpassed in the produc-
ton Of 1.-The Golden Girl" their
latest musical comedy success, which
comes to The Kentucky during the
early part Of November. "The Golden
Girl" with its long and prosperous
run OF 200 nights in Chicago, has
proven its worth as a vehicle of en-
tertainment. Dazzling with the splen-
dor and richness Of its scenery and
costumes, brilliant with wityy dia-
logue ana snappy eplgrams, inter-
spersed with catchy songs and
WHISKY" music, a combination Is
thus formed that fills every desire Of
the seeker of clean high-class amuse-
ment.
The story Of the play has a golden
thread Of subtle romance running
through it. The scenes are laid at
West Point, and the plot deals with
the heart struggle Of a girl who has
to choose between two cadets; one
the son Of a millionaire and the other
a poor chap whose only heritage is a
long line of distinguished ancestors
While trying TO decide bstween her
lovers, the girl has a dream, in which
she sees herself married to the mill
lionaire, who showers gold upon her
until at last she turns into a golden
Statue, from which ordeal she awakes
to accept the offer OF the poor cadet.
He also dreams about his much
boosted ancestry, which, however,
turns into a nightmare, for he has
visionary glimpse of them as they
really were, and discovers they run
the gamdt of crime from petty lar
lceny to murder. This experience adds
humility TO his virtues, so that he is
at his best when he asks the girl TO
marry him.
Some Of the big song hits that
have already become familiar are II
Think / Hear a Woodpecker Knock
ing on My Family Tree" 81 Cant
Love Everybody" kiss Me" and
beautiful Indian love song, which is
the most artistic number in the pro-
duction, calling for costumes that are
beautiful and unique.
The cast includes such well known
artists as Jimmy Lucas, Marie Flynn,
