Tomorrow the Abern English Grand
Opera Company will begin its fifth and
last week at the New National Theater

great favorite written during the same
period as this composers III Trovatore" !"
with which the Aborn forces inaugurated
their stay here. "Rigoletto" Is one of
the foremost OF the popular classics, its
score containing many beautiful and
familiar melodies and its libretto found
ed upon Victor Hugos great play, lie

The double bill of Mascagnis one-act
opera, ''Cavalleria Rusticana," and Hum

bination for Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day. These two compositions. the mas
terpieces of two of the greatest living

other as possible. The former is OF the
modern Italian veritist school, highly
romantic and dramatic, while the latter
is extremely fanciful and quaint. appeal
ing to children as well as advanced opera
goers, it's story is founded upon the
familiar fairy tale Of The Babes in the
Wood"
The casts of the three operas will be
made up of favorites in former Aborn
casts, and some new arrivals. In "Rigo-
letto'' Edith Helena and Helena Morrill,

GREAT SALT LAKE PRESERVES
TIMBER.

In replacing a railroad trostle recently
burned along the north shore of Great
Salt Lake, engineers have just found that
the piles are still perfectly sound after 43
years of service. Looking for the cause,
since these We're only Of local pine and fir,
they found the timbers were impregnated
throughout with salt from the lake.
At another point on the lake, is zach
piles. set 30 years are similarly preserved
with salt which has penetrated to their
very center. Timbers in the Southern
Pacific trestes across Salt Lake, placed
in 1902, appear to be as good as on the
day when the piles were driven. They
have been preserved well above water
line by the salt dashed on to them by the
waves a fact apparently anticipated by
the engineers who built the trestles
The first transcontinental telegraph line,
built before the railroad, extended west
from Salt Lake City through the prosper
Gus mining camps of Eureka, Austin and
Virginia City. When the railroad was
built, the telegraph line was transferred
to follow it's right of way and the old
poles sawed off at the ground. An en-
gineer who recently examined the butts
left in the ground in the salt desert near
Fish Springs found that, although fifty
years had passed since the poles We're cut
off, the old butts were perfectly sound.
Telephone and electric companies in the
Salt Lake valley have used the local salt
for preserving poles, When set up, about
| 70 pounds of salt is placed around the
pole on the ground. This method cannot
be used. however, when the pole is on or
near a lawn, or in any place where vege-
| tation is desired.
1t is pointed out that the reason why
| the waters of Salt Lake act as strong
! preventative, as distinguished from ocean
waters, is because the lake water Is so
! much salter, being practically a saturate
solution. Preservation with salt is of no
use in ocean pilng against the attack of
; teredos and other marine borers.
| Experts in the forest service who have
been investigating the preservative treat
ment of timber offer the suggestion that
| ties and poles which have 6een Immersed
| for some time in the waters of the lake
ought to be impery1ous to decay If the
| salt is not leached out by the action % the
elements. Il has been suggested that this
can be guarded against, for example. by
| painting the butt of the pole with a coat
of creosote which will keep out the moist
ure and keep in the salt.
