SEEK TO COMBINE
TWO CITY COURTS
Authorities Dissatisfied With
Present Arrangement, Which
Costs $4,000 Per Year.

The city authorities are of the opinion
that the two city courts should be united.
a committee of the city council, consist
ing of the mayor, President A. j. Davis,
COuncilmen Fernstrom.. Hall and Ferry,
has been at work on TIE proposition, and
at a meeting in the mayors office yes
terday instructed the city attorney to pre-
pare bill for presentation to the legiS-
lature. The city first wants to be paid
by the state for handling state cases.
OF these there were so cases last year,
and the sole revenue to the city amount
ed to S25. which was half of the actual
fines. This arrangement of half the fines
is deemed unsatisfactory, and the coun-
cilmen want to substitute a system of
fees for handling these cases.
The two city courts now cost in the Vi
einity of $4,000 annually. The salaries OF
the two judges are $500 q year eacn.
There are three clerks in the civil divi-
sion. who receive $50. SO and $50 a month.
respectively. IN the police END of the
court the assistant city attorney, who
handles the cases. receives H,2O0 a year,
the clerk of the court 800 a month, and
the stenogra pher $50 a month.
1t is believed that over third OF this
$1,000 spent to run the two courts an
nually can be saved to the city If the
legislature viii consent to bill provid-
ing for the union of the two courts even
If the two judges are retained
Some of the counCilmen want one OF the
judges abolished and the whole work,
criminal as well as civil. handled by one
Judge These maintain that the work OF
the police court occupies but a short time
most days and that the balance OF the
dav can be spent IN hearing civil cases.
But even If this is not done they want
the whole business OF both branches OF
the court handled by one set of clerks.
This with nav for state cases dealt with,
would effect considerable saving

Jail Prisoners Will Now Get IS
Cent Meals.

The county commissioners, in q generous
frame OF mind yesterday. decided that the
prisoners at the county jail could not be
well fed at the present rate of IL cents
a meal and allowed the sheriff an addi-
tional 8, cents to buy them food with.
The sheriff will hereafter be allowed ID
cents for each meal he furnishes. This
was done after hearing read a commune
cation from Sheriff Joe {. Sharp in which
he showed that Weber county fed its
dodgers at the 15-cent rate; that Butte
charged . cents. and that in California
towns the allowance was 171s cents.
The city allowance for the dodgers at
the First South hotel is only cents a
meal and most Of the men work in the
chain gang In the county Jail there is
no chain gang. and the residents will fare

the lower plane. There were Is ribs
The ribs were one foot apart with the
exception of a two foot space in the
middle. This space was taken up by
the two arm sticks and the body space.
as shown in figure I. On the upper
plane there was no hold for body. He
used one eighth inch bolts, with wash
ers at both ends for the crosspieces.
His wiring was No. Is piano wire, and
each crosspiece was braced by the di-
agonal, as shown in figure 4. The ribs
were nailed on with fat headed brads
seven eighths of an inch long. They
extended nine inches beyond the rear
edges OF the main frame, as shown in
figure l. They were arched by bowling
the loose end and then mailing to the
rear beam. Each rib was then curved
the same as shown in figure ?.
Having constructed the skeleton
framework, as shown in figure 5, Frank
covered the surface by lacking cam
brio first to the front edge, then
stretching it lightly over the bent ribs
and lacking it securely to the rear ends
of the ribs. He took the further safety
preca sutton to glue the cloth to all the
ribs and frames. He left the opening
in the center of the lower plane surface
as shown in figure 1 for the operators
body.
He was now ready TO assemble the
two planes. He placed the two sur
faces three feet six inches apart and
connected them with his u upright
support strips, placing one at right
angle to a crosspieee. He bolted the
uprights into place as in figure ?. Then
he braced the planes with the wiring
as shown in figure 4.
Frank next made the vertical rud-
der. This rudder is fixed and immov-
able Its duty is. to keep the glider
heading into the wind He stretched
cambria over a wooden frame, which
he nailed to the ends of the long rud-
der sticks fastened to the rear of the
glider. Then he made the horizontal
rudder (slso immovahle) of cloth over
a wood framework. fastening ii so it
intersected the vertical rudder in TIE
middle Guy wires and diagonal wires
kept it in place, as shown in figures /
and 4. The duty of the horizontal wire
was TO hold the glider steady and pre-
vent its dipping.

running torrent that began to encroach
on the farm. Nobody paid much atten-
tion to It, though. as the summer
freshet was yearly affair, The river
usually kept within it's banks and be-
yond the overflow of a field or two
rarely did any damage. And Frank
worked away. caring little what the
river did.
How TO construct a glider" is a sub
jeet on which a great deal has been
written. am going TO give a brief ac-
count of how Frank built his. so if you
are familiar with it just skip the next
few paragraphs.
The only difference between a glider
and a regular aeropIane is that the
glider has no motors and coasts
through the air propelled by gravity
Tt can never rise higher than from it's
starting point. This is usually from
the top Of some hill. the objective point
being the bottom of the hill, etc.
Franks glider was the two surface"

the other. First he drew his plans

His calculations resulted in the prep

keel of the White Eagle, as he named
his airship. when he laid out the two
long bottom frames for the lower plane
surface and bottled the cross stays TO
them. as shown in figure ! of diagram.

Bessemer Steel

ture. Bessemer was poor young man.
possessed with the idea that steel
could be made by a better process. He
had lately entered into the obligations
of matrimOny and had no money to
experiment on a large scale, but he
persisted with what means he had at
hand. At last came the wonderful mo-
ment, when, after blowing air through
melted iron. he found in the bottom
OF the crucibIe little lump of the IA
nous steel He had just half a crown
to his name, but he spent it in having
the invention registered. though he
could not have dreamed of the fortunes
that were TO be built up on his dis
covery. He then went with the 1ump
of metal to Nasmyth of. steel hammer
fame and. laying it on his desk. said
that the bit of steel would revolution
ize the whole metal world. Nasmyth's
first question to the excited young in
venter was. But you should not be
showing this around to everybody.
You must patent it,.
And then the young man quietly
assyred him that he had already taken
that precaution,

that he would have probably lost his
life II Mr.. Williams and two OF the
hired men hadn't jumped in and hshed
him out.
The examination entry blanks were
still to be mailed.
Frank gazed sadly at the damp papers
lying on the parlor table. All his anger
against Henry had evaporated- He
realized how much it meant to Henry
that the papers be mailed How could
it be, done?
He could not tell how long he stared
at the papers. but as he looked the idea
came and 1t took his breath away. Dare
he do it2
The next minute saw Frank out Of
the house and making his way UP the
bluff that jutted on the swollen river.
The bluff was the highest part OF the
bank and standing about 100 feet high
deepest and swiftest, being not more
than $50 feet wide. A gently slipping
bank lined the opposite side.
Frank stood there debating as he
measured the distance. then noted the
direction of the wind. A steady breeze
was blowing across the river from Just
thes right quarter. Finally he gritted
his teeth and argued to himself: What's
the difference? 1 know the White Eagle
will do IT. Didn't I glide more than 200
feet yesterday? I could have gone
double thatt This is only a couple OF
hundred, with the wind Just right. Even
if do fail I am a better swimmer than
Henry, and 1 amt afraid of the old
river. No. sir. It's my duty to help poor
Hank out. and I'm going to do it,
And the young aviator marched
firmly back to the house. He entered
the parlor. quietly pocketed the papers.

been completed he had fairly learned
how to control the glider in his many
secret trials conducted alone on the
meadow hill He had nearly wrecked
1t twice and was a mass OF bruises,
but was so exultant over his success
he didn't mind them. But, whew! he
was tired.
The next thing Frank knew his

lantern.

moonlight showed him that the whole

the path, struck the edge of the aero

deep in the water, which had crept up
until it covered the shed floor.
Fortunately the White Eagle was
suspended from the ceiling, so ne found
fabric over his shoulder and rushed
out of the shed to splash his way back
to the house. The glider was saved

I'll have to build a raft and try to get
over that way. It's my only chance"
So all the rest OF the morning Henry
and his father built the raft Frank
tried TO offer some practical hints on
the subject, but Henry, being made ir-
ritable by worry. rudely told him TO
shut up and not butt in. Frank retired
in high wrath, only TO be ruffied up
again when he magnanimously volun-
teered his services TO man the raft

The raft was carried 20 a spot where
the river was very narrow. In Franks
judgment Henry would have stood
better chance IL he had set out across
the flooded meadow lands at the back
of the house, where there was no cur
rent. But Henry was in a hurry. and
proved the old motto over again. Haste
