 But the happiest result and the one dearest 70 the hearts Of women is the effect of the beautiful upon the unfold ng minds of children. As they grow up they come to love the beautiful and seek it in every form, music. painting, the rising and the setting sun. the towering mountain and the verdent valley. Their better feelings being thus aroused, the noblest powers of their nature eX- pand under those happy influences and there is less inclination to evil which is always an ugly thing under any form.
 It is the beginning of a happy year in American history, when the tastes of cur people are cultivated into d more wholesome appetite for things above the sordid life of money get ting and brought to enjoy the beau- t'es of art and nature which the great Creator has placed on every side of us.

JURY
ORDERED TO
ISOLATION

The government does not In
tend to have any tampering with
the jury which will decide wheth-
er or not Charles Il. Houston and
John Bullock conspired to de-
fraud the government by collusive
bids on coal. (
On request Of B. D. Townsend,
special prosecutor, yesterday aft
ernoon after the jury was secur-
ed, Judge Cushman ordered the
Jury isolated. Rooms were se-
cured for them at Mason hotel
and bailiffs will stay with the IL
men night and day until the case
Is decided, which may not be for
some time.
When the order for isolation
came it became apparent then
why the prosecution had excused
Mrs. Kate Conner, the lone wom-
an Juror.
After the jury had been order
ed isolated court adjourned yes
terday to give Townsend time to
NIX up his statement of the case
to be presented this morning.

Vacation Photo Contest.
The judges selected the picture
submitted by Mrs. Butler as the
best in balance, tone and subject
of all those sent in during the
summer.
There were hundreds of other
photos, almost as good, but in
some there was too much detail,
or no middle ground, or the tone
was not the best.
The contest, from the Contest
Editors viewpoint. has been i'm
minently successful, in that he
has had almost as much enjoy
ment out of it as those who com
peted and took the pictures.
There are still many unclaimed

At the west end of the reser-
yoir are huge gates. They work

press a button, the gates will
raise and millions of tons of wa
ter will pour through four great
steel pipes and go tumbling 400
feet down. At the lower end are
four GreSs turbine wheels.
ReSe at last the ice of Mis-
quaily glacier must give to the
city an account of itself. 1t hits
the bronze paddles in that great
turbine with crash, the paddle
moves and the big generator
connected with the axis of the
turbine starts going and the
kilowatt is born. h =

But Tacoma does not get 1t

voltage, say 1000. 1t creeps
through innumerable machines
and transformers and finally

age of $4,000.
Up over the hill goes the kilo-
watt on the half-inch aluminium
cables across the country, and
lands in the substation on lower

1t would not be safe for the
citizen to handle that kilowatt
at $4,000 voltage, so it is dump

Above the power house there is
