TO oRLITERATE A RIVER.

Thomas A. Edison isn't the first man
to propose filling up the East river, at
New York. But he is the first one who
speaks with authority, and without the
purpose of making gain. And the east
ern people are listening to him.
Edison points out that New York
doesn't need the East river; that it IS
vastly wider than ever the most gen
erous provision of ships makes neces-
sary; and that all the uses to which
that water front is now put can be
found even better elsewhere.
The East river really isn't a river at
all. The Connecticut ends at the sound.
OF course, that is tidewater. and it is
tidewater all down the ten miles be-
tween Manhattan and the Long Island
shore. But it would be difficult to com
pute the value of land mile wide and
ten miles long in New York.
There are millions in the scheme for
the state and city. There is more than
money can count in a'relief to the con-
gestion of the city; in the possibility
to build a truly modern city on the
made ground"
Chicago has extended its lake front
mile. and will some day have the
perfection of parks there. New York
in the land where the East river now
is, may have parks and business and
homes.
And there is always to be considered
that mighty argument of the dollars
The land that could be made where the
East river resist flows only with the
tide-wouid be worth untold fortunes
for men clever enough to bring about
the reclamation.

A VISION IN SEPTEMBER.
BY WTLLTAM GRIFFITH

ID
Today, as by a magic wand,
A breeze is waited from the years
OF long ago and from beyond
The city as il disappears.
On far horizons softly lean
The hills against the coming night,
And mantled with a russell green
The orchards gather into sight;
As though the apples, high and low,
In rudy coiOrs deeply spread
From core TO rind, the sun melts slow,
With gold Upcaught across the red.
And here and there, with signs and calls
Among the hills an echo rings
Remotely as the water falls
And down the meadow softly sings
A wind goes by; the air is stirred
With secret whispers far and near:
Another tOken-Just a word
Had made the roses meaning clear
I see the fields; I catch the scent
Of odOrs from the fresh split wood
Where bearded moss and stains arc
bient
With autumn rains, and all is good
An air arising turns and lifts
me fallen leaves where they had lain
Beneath the trees. then weakly shifts
And slowly settles back again.
While with far shouts, now homeward
bound
Across the fields the reapers 60;
And with the darkness closing round
The lilies of the twilight blow.

LOOKED AT FROM THE HILLS.

Some days ago we spoke Of coming
down town by way OF First avenue. A
correspondent suggests that the ex-
ploration be carried even farther north.
And, indeed. it is worth money to any
man or any woman in town to look at
the city from the heights of Sixth
avenue, or the hills even farther away
from the car lines.
On a fair morning. the city lies silent
and beautiful in a grove of green. One
can hardly believe the homes of a hun
dred thousand people are hiding there.
At intervals the canopy of summer
foliage is broken with the roof of a
larger house. or with the walls of a
public building. But whole blocks are
concealed, so that not a dwelling can
be discerned.
And as one looks, the thought is i'm
pressed: There must be p great deal
more of good than of bad hidden in the
greenery Of those spaces. Close at hand
are magnificent structures. The cathe-
dral the business blocks, the temple
the masses of the business center, the
Newhouse buildings at the south; the
hurrying street cars, the activity toe
far away to send up whisper OF
sound; the distant trains moving ma
sestic to the north and the south.
These things-these expressions of a
city-cannot be produced by evil. They
are the children Of good.
In looking over the half-hidden city
let us believe the best OF every one-not
the worst. Let US be assured that
there Is more of good than of bad in
every rood Of that space smiling VI
with the green banners of God above
them.
Believe good of them. Speak we'll OF
them. Unite in fellowship for them
There is much that you do not see, and
cannot know. Make yourself happy by
believing 1t is well, and not i'll.

VALUE OF INTERURBANs.

Every Utah man who returns from
Ice of the interurban roads. Starting
from Chicago, they can go to every city
Of importance in every state to the At
lantic coast. The fare is slightly less
than that on the steam roads. There is
no dust, the comfort is greater, and the
speed is quite as high.
There is another phase of the case,
and that comes in reports from COM
merciaI clubs, and the statements Of
the railroad companies themselves. By
these 1t is seen that the electric lines
help buifd up the cities. They do not
seem to at all subtract from the steam
lines. Their gain is in the nature Of
new business-that never existed before
the trolley came.
Ride from the Hot Springs into ogden
by the trolley line, and you VII see
what is meant. Every car carries bust
ness to the city. The farm is no longer
isolated. At almost every -crossroa L
waits a group of men and women intent
on business in town. Every one Of them
means something added TO the daily
volume of trade.
An electric line into salt Lake from
the west would bring much business.
The trolley line from the north will
bring more. A line from the south
would add tremendously to the days re
ceipts in Salt Lake stores.
They prove a benefit to the country
wherever ventured. This place would
/ by no means be an exception.

THE Mosr USEFUL oITIzEN.

A former governor OF Kansas has
said that Foster Dwight Coburn, secre-
tary Of the state board of agriculture,
is the most useful citizen in that state.
And no man can possibly be given
higher praise.
AS the story goes, Kansas was in a
bad way sixteen years ago. Newcom-
ers from the eastern and middle states
had come to the plains, and tried TO
make farms. And they failed because
they didn't know how to conquer the
soil. They turned back, their covered
wagons flaming with curses for Kan
sas. and abandoned their equities in
the soil.
Long time ago Sidney Lanier de-
clared to the world: There is more in
the man than there is in the land" And
that is what CobuTn of Kansas
proved. He had studied the soil, and
he told the people how to make their
attack. He didn't try to counteract the
advertising Of the retreating losers. He
sought TO make life possible for those
who remained. And all the state Of
Kansas rose as one man to help him.
In two years the tide had turned,
People east were learning of the ease
with which Kansas soil can be re-
claimed and made to yield richly, be
cause every man in Kansas was telling
in his letters, in his personal interviews
through the medium of his local pa
pers, of the prosperity awaiting indus
try and capacity in the Kansas soil.
We of Utah have a better soil than
Kansas has. Utah can produce more
wheat to the acre than can any other
region in the world. We have a few
men who have learned much of the
soils secrets, and they are getting
magnificent results, They still are
studying, and giving to the people the
benefits of their discoveries.
What remains is for the people OF
Utah to unite in the strong word OF
communication for the state; to tell the
fair truth about Utah; to make life
here pleasant and profitable, and Their
to be assured that the thousands will
hurry here from the east.

be the slogan of every friend Of Utah

ing. 1t just happens that what little
she sees Of him and hears Of him,
catches her fancy or secures the in
dorsement OF her judgment. For she is
of judicial turn Of mind, and given
to doing as she pleases.
The hero is hunted, and she saves
him. That makes her love him even
more than would have been the case
under ordinary circumstances. Women
are said to love most that for which
they make the greatest sacrifice. He
easily gets her promise to link her life
with his own, and she goes to him with
the most absolute trust and joy and
confidence that have ever been ex-
pressed in words. But at the very drop
of the final curtain she turns to him
with the surprising question:
Say, Man, what's your name?''
Salomy didn't know. She never had
heard his name. He never had been
permitted to tell her. No one formally
introduced them. But a thousand audi
ences have been sure saiomy was en-
tering in safety the life that would be
blessed.
But have other women any advan-
tege of Salomy in the matter of know
ing the men they marry? Oh, they
know the name, and sometimes a great
deal of the history of the man in the
case. But that isn't all of the man, and
it isn't the essentials with which the
wife must become acquainted in her
daily life. AS to his temper, his real
preferences, his habits when not on
display, his tendencies. his actual views
of her, his purpose for himself-these
are as unknown to the newly-made wife
as the name Of her new husband was
to Salomy.
And the philosophy of the play is the
philosophy of life. He cannot tell her
She can find out only by living with
him; by the intimate acquaintance OF
daily association.
Salomy is no worse off than the rest
of the brides.

BETTER SCHOOL CONDITIONS.

Box Elder and Cache counties and
some of the others feel pretty well over
the consolidation Of their public schools.
Sanpete people are not quite so pleased
with the prospect.
Of course local conditions will make
a difference. In some counties the very
unusual distribution Of pupils may op-
crate against the general plan of con-
solidation at present. But the benefits
must be decided on average conditions.
Every innovation finds its objections.
And, since the people are reasonable,
they will ask no more than reasonable
evidence. If their children can be bet
ter taught under the plan OF concentra-
ton than under the old system, then
the new plan will be adopted wherever
possible.
And if. added OF the better instruction,
