It Was Godsend.
That it was regarded as a godscnd
by Brigham Young, his advisers and
the saints generally, IS proved by an
address to the English saints by Apostle
John Taylor, Millenial Star, November,
1916:
"I'he president of tho United States
is favorably disposed to us (the Nor
mons). He has sent out orders to have
800 of our brethren employed (not
drafted) in an expedition that was fit

and then be discharged In California,
and to have their arms and implements
of war given to them at the expiration
of their term; and as there is no pros

route when he was taken ill in Echo

In 1916 Colonel S. w. kearney was
in charge of the post at Fort Leaven-

to Captain j. Allen to proceed to Mt.
Pissgah. Ia, a rendezvous Of the Mormon
refugees. and enlist battalion Of Nor

is a part of the order:
''9ou will have the MormonS to dis

Former Binghamite Says Majority
Satisfied With Present Conditions

Editor Tribune-The man. a. w. Wills,

Miners union to make war on gambling

his case, no doubt in Il spirit of fairness

Mr., Wills having succeeded I'm stirring
up a good deal of feeling in Bingham
states that his committee was appointed
at a stated meeting of the union. Con-
trarily. it is asserted that the commit
tee was named, or at least the resolu-
tions published in The Tribune were
passed, at special meeting of the union
attended by seven members, and that
the action was decided upon by a bare
majority, Mr.. Wills presumably casting
the deciding vote. 1t Is also said that
large number of the members are in
dignant at the proceeding. and trouble
Is brewing in the union because OF 1t;

Hydraulic Lever Motors. Water
Power Without Wheels.

A visit to this workshop shows
crude machine that does exactly what
the sign says, water power without
wheels. It is a practical application
of theory and theory that works.
Outside of the shop is q model Of the
appliance that looks like toy machine
and in fact the children In the neigh.
borhood call it their toy and they will
SIT for hours and watch the simple piece
of mechanism as the levers rise and
fall with the precision Of clock.
The machine, according to Mr. Pet
erson. is designed to produce power for
everything where power is needed and
it will run IN low fall or high fall, IN
small streams or in large ones, and
from the waves Of the sea. With
three foot fall of water a great power
plant could be installed.
Simple in Construction.
The machine is simple in construc-
ton. in fact there is practically no
mechanism about it and to manufact
ure it would not necessitate great
factory for it can be constructed by
most every mechanic. There is fly
wheel. crank shaft, an eccentric rod
and levers, upon one end of which are
miniature buckets into which the water
to the stream from which it is taken.
These levers work on ball bearing
Joint at one end, the other Is attached
to the eccentric rods.
Over the end of these levers upon
which the miniature buckets are placed
is box and in this box are valves
which are attached to the crank shaft.
and a half turn of the balance wheel
given by hand starts the machine. As
| the valves raise the water falls into
| the bucket at the end of the lever
and the rise and fall of these valves,
letting the water drop. keeps the levers
in motion. 1t is, as said, most simple
| contrivance.
Builds Temporary Dam.
To run his large machine Mr.. Peter
son has constructed temporary dam
and from this small stream carrying
about three inches of water is diverted
| into a flume or race and after passing
through the machine drops back into
the stream again so that there is no
waste to the water.
