"WHAT is THE SCHOOL OF
MINEs?"

Thus a question at the top Of a page
announcing one Of the departments Of
the University of Utah. And then the
writer of the advertisement proceeds to
answer his own question. 1t is a pretty
attractive statement.
In this state school of mines a young
man may equip himself as an engineer
in either mining, electrical work, civil
or mechanical activities. or as an expert
in irrigation enterprises. Good salaries
are assured the man proficient in either.
And the work is of a sort which spells
progress for the race. Every piece Of
construction turned over to it's owners
means added enrichment for the people,
increased efficiency in the nation. It
isn't simply pleasant and theoretical 1t
is practical 1t is helping in the making
Of the new world.
Every student in the school Of mines
has an opportunity, because all the
means 10 work with are there. The uni
versity provides them. The teachers
are capable.
And It doesn't cost much. The ex-
penge Is not beyond tha reach az aay
Utah boy, Twenty-Five dollars is prob
ably the outside cost for registration
and tuition charges. Books and board
will cost more. But they are worth the
cost, and worth the sacrifice. For when
a young man has completed his course
there, he Is Independent for life. He
may get rich If he have a bent IN that
direction. He may have a comfortable
| income and leave riches to those that
love them.

"A GENTLEMAN UNAFRAIDl"

It is pretty generally known that A
c. Nelson, state superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, has gone east to submit
to an operation for cancer. It is also
known-though probably not so gener-
ally-that he has for years been a great
sufferer from that most malignant,
most pitiless and most defiant of mala-
dies. And if prayers can do any good,
Mr.. Nelson may be assured that the
united petitions of every man, woman
and child in the state goes out in the
hearts sincere desire" that he may
come home completely restored In
health.
For years he has carried that increas-
ing torture about with him, knowing
as one knows the inevitable certainty
Of the night, that nothing but the still
ing of his heart could satisfy it; that no
Vigor of bodily strength, no high pur-
pose for helping his fellow man, no ad-
dition to his stock of knowledge could
persuade that demoniac tenant of his
body to abate its fierce and painful
| course. And yet he has carried the
face Of triumphant hero wherever he
has gone. Never a complaint. never a
| day of depression, never a harsh re-
Spouse to the vexations that come to all,
never a bitter cry of Encouragement
There has been "the gentleman I'M
afraid"
He has done his work so we'll that in

THE CITY, FEBRUARY 1910

every soul is his friend. He has go
helped this state with his service that
manhood is more noble and woman
hood more free. And he has so approved
himself a man that everyone who has
felt the clasp of his big, strong hand
will remember It with touch of pride
and a grip at the throat and moist
ure Of the eyes as he reads of the silent
and uncertain battle that friend is
fighting.
II there be skill in the surgeon, II
there be power in all the realm of med
icine, A. c. Nelson Will come back
healed; and men who know will greet
him with a genuine joy. But nothing
even in the accomplishment Of that al
most miracle can minimize the splendor
of his conduct, the quality of his cOur-
age, in these years that have passed.

Voice OF The PEOPLE
RATS CAN BE DIFFERENTIATED.
Salt Lake, Feb. II, 1910.


Editor HeraId-Republican; 1 have
noticed some comments in recent Is
sues Of your paper relative to the pres
ence of the so-called eastern rat Sup
posedly the mus rattus), in some pOr-
tons of the city, and that it is fast be-
coming menace,
There is q remedy for this pest, and ST
the proper care be exercised ia its use
they can be exetrminated.
The Pasteur Vaccine company, Ltd,
has an office at AL Wabash avenue,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they make RAT
Virus designed for use against any of
the rodent family. I have used it with
! perfect success for Riding my poultry
house, barn and granary Of mice,
which are but smaller members of this
same family.
The Rat Virus is non-poisonous TO
the human family, and perfectly harm
less If eaten by other animals or birds
than those for which It is specially in
tended. 1t is marketed in small, closed,
sterile tubes, with full directions &C
companying each package for its adj
mixture with water
Small squares Of stale rye bread are
| soaked in this solution and placed in
and along the runways OF the rodents,
! for their consumption.
They eat the pieces Of bread and are
! thereby given a communicable germ
! disease, communicable only to the TO
| dent family. In the course Of a few days
| all the rodents that eat this bread, and
| those with which they come in contact,
are infected and die.
These dead bodies are destroyed by
micTObic activities without becoming a
| nuisance around the premises, so that
! those persons using the virus need have
no hesitancy in its proper employment
/ The places that are annoyed by them
| will soon know them no more if the
/ virus be given a chance to accomplish
/ its work, but the directions must be
I followed closely, and the proper care
/ exercised IN mixing the remedy with
| water, and having it perfectly absorbed
| by the small squares Of bread.
| Tt is not an expensive article, Z,
| cents per tube, and one tube ought tC
/ be enough for almost any private yards
/ or barns owned by one person. II
/ might be purchased at a lesser price il
! bought in large quantities. This meth
/ cd, followed intelligently, makes an
| economical, safe and rational way OF
getting rid Of this most destructive and
dangerous pest.

EASTERN UTAH NEEDS RAIL.
Road.
NIyton, Wasatch County, Utah,
Feb - 1Q1O


Feb. Il, 1910.
Editor HeraId-RepubIican: have
read with great interest. and wish to
thank you for the terse editorial in your
issue of February 8, under the caption
Of Less Talk and More Ties"
This is a matter of vital interest to
the former Uintah reservation country,
as Il is gradually filing up with a good
class Of settlers, but the great draw
back at present is our remoteness from
a railroad and the consequent lack of
shipping facilities, and so forth.
We have heard 'Moffat" railroad ex-
tension talk for the past seven years,
and are still living in hopes of the
realization Of our fondest dreams, and
that the iron horse" will yet be putting
across our country, thereby, also, re-
ducing the distance between Denver and
Salt Lake 206 miles over the present
nearest route.
Those who have never been in the
Uintah basin cannot realize the extent
Of It, what the future possibilities hold
in store, or the incalcuIable value q
railroad would be. We have an excel
lent climate, prolific soil, a super
abundance Of water for irrigation, and
can produce all kinds of fruits, vegeta-
bles and grain. A number Of govern
ment bitches have recently been COM
pleted, and there is a million-dollar
ditch to be constructed on the South
Myton bench, near the town of AIyton,
work on which will begin this spring,
and 1t is proposed to irrigate from
$4,000 to $4,000 acres Of land.
Practically all Of our homesteadeTs
are people Of moderate means, who
have put UP with considerable hardship
and privation, due, IN measure, to the
lack Of railroad facilities, and all we
now need for the fullest development Of
the country is LESS Talk and More
Ties"
Yes, bring on your railroad" and
watch us gTOw!" Very truly yours.

"WHILE THE LAMP HOLDS OUT
TO BURN"


Long ago the good people IN church
used TO sing:
While the lamp holds out to burn.
The vilest sinner may return.
Of course the comforting assurance
doesn't apply to vile sinners solely. It
is for everyOne-even coUncilmen. And
it means that while mistakes may have
been made, there is yet time to correct
them.
That Is the case IN the matter Of the
competing contractors and City Creek
canyon. The council probably made a
mistake in refusing to give Strange &
Mcguire the same rights there that Mr.
Pat Moran held. But many a man has
made a mistake before this 1t isn't an
unheard-of thing. And it isn't 10 late
to mend.
Let thu council simply turn over a
new leaf, apologize to no one, explain to
no one. Just tell the competing con-
tractors they can have the same rights
and privileges in the canyon that any
other contractor has. and no more; that
they can have them on the same terms
as any competitor, and if they abuse
the kindness Of the city they will have
to get out And there drop the matter.
Many a man has made a mistake. But
the man who oorrects them when he
does make them isn't so very far
wrong.

CHANCE FOR MORE
"INTERVENTION."

From all over the world the Jews are
going back to Palestine. The longing
for a return to that land OF their fathers
has held a persistent place in the hearts
of Jews for many centuries. Within the
past three decades a very strong move
ment for the recovery Of Palestine for
the Jews has been noted, especially IN
the United States and England.
Since the rather summary removal Of
rulers in the Mohammedan world, the
movement has taken new and impress
sive life. Land IS being bought along
the Jordan river, and rich Jews are
contributing TO the fund which is put
ting the hills and plains Of the Bible
back into the possession of the chosen
people"
There is an excellent chance for a
sometime trouble. Unless they locate
in such numbers that they can take care
Of themselves-and that will require q
tremendous number-they are liable to
massacre at the hands Of fanatical
Arabs. And then the world VIII be
asked to protect them. And VIII be
under a righteous obligation to do so.
Back to Palestine is a most attrac-
tive cry. 1t appeals TO the sentiment
Of the Christian as to the Jew. 1t has
an admitted force throughout all Chris
tendon. And many non-Jews have ex-
pressed a willingness to help financially
with the movement. 1t is also TO be
desired, because the Jews, once estab-
worthless country. And because of that
the world will probably take the chance
of being called on for such protection
as NAV be headed

OPERA IN ENGLISH.

One of the good friends OF The Her
aId-Republican comes in and declares
himself on the subject OF opera. He en-
joys it in Italian. because he knows
music But he wants TO hear it in the
English language. He wants to under
stand the words. He feels that there
is musical talent enough in England
and America to produce the classic COM
positions; and he resents the running OF
American singers to the teachers in
Berlin and Rome and Paris.
And we don't agree with him entirely.
OF course, it is desirable TO have this
entertainment provided in our own
language. And in the ultimate that can
be realized. But not for good many
years. These operas Salt Lake has
been listening to for the past week are
sung by the boys and girls Of the poor
people in Europe. The youth Of those
lands grow up with the environment of
music and art all about them, The at
mosphere is in favor of their attaining
proficiency, ST they have talent. Out ct
tie thousands Of them who sing ''Yhe
Oliserere" at their play, al Their IOung-
ing by the side Of summer seas, one or
two or three or half dozen viii -evsal
exceptional talent-like Scott. or Ca
russo, or Calve. And out Of the half a
dozen one viii be discovered.
Our poor boys are not soaking them
selves full Of classic music as .hsy
grow up. They are picking up coal in
the yards" They are going to work
at an age when their European coun-
terparts are just dreaming and grow
ing up. These American boys have no
time for the arts. And the girls of our
land who should be hearing ''Trova-
tore and humming the Jewel song IN
Faust" have TO work as cash iris
IN the department stores till they are
big enough for the sweatshop or the
counter.
The rich class? Well. Ruskin and
Byron are about the only rich men, the
only men who could command leisure,
that have given lasting literature to the
English world. Here and there a man
or woman who grew up with plenty
makes a success of music or other art
But not often. That isn't the atmos-
phere in which It grows.
So that for about five hundred years
we English-speaking people will have
10 hear our operas in Italian and Fl
German, if we want them at their best
Oh, we don't forget Mr.. Savage. and
his grand opera in English" Our peo-
pie stand ready to pay for it. They
want it. They have ten dollars for the
music ia their own tongue to every one
for music In a foreign tongue. The
American people stand ready to buy IL
But it isn't produced in sufficient pro-
fusion, or in sufficient quality TO supply
the demand.
OF course there is a good deal OF fiub'
dub about grand opera, and those who
pauonize it. But underneath that silly
affectation of liking what they don't a
all understand, there Is a profound iea
son-and win be for many years-why
the best of music will be rendered II
Italian and in German.
But just have patience for anothe
five hundred years or so. and the chill
dren Of America will be singing T.,
compositions of American musicians
and taking toll OF the whole rount
world
