i IN" persons from every civilized
i country of the world have
sat in the Mormon taber-
nacle at Salt Lake City enchanted by
the marvellous tones of the great or
gan, one of the wonders of the Amer
lean continent, and have marveled at
the magic of the music which rolled
from its pipes. Each of these per-
sons has left the tabernacle with the
strains lingering in his or her ears,
to be recalled in after years when
ever organ tones are heard.
The great organ is being recon-
structed, but the classical outlines of
the instrument which so many still
bear in their minds will not be chang
ed. The organ will be the largest pipe
organ in the world.
The exterior of the organ, that part
which has been pictured and described
for many years, will remain intact.
1t will be made double its present
width by the addition of wings to the
right and to the left of the central
structure. The central towers of the
organ are somewhat more than thirty
two fee tall The towers of the wings
will rise "a feet above the tabernacle
floor.
Every color, shade and tint of tone
will be possible to the organ. In the
old instrument there is one 32-foot
organ pipe which will be attached di-
rect to the new keyboard and in the
new instrument there will be three of
these huge pipes in the keyboard and
one giant of GA feet in the pedal. Its
vibrations will be only eight TO the
second, in the low C, whose tones will
resemble the distant beating of the
surf upon the cliffs. There will be
104 registers with an average of 70
pipes, and 81 registers in the pedals,
an average of 80 pipes EACH
The echo organ and the solo or
gan will be played from the same
! iyboardi This echo organ will be
one of the most remarkable features
of the instrument. A cement room
to house the echo or celeste organ is
being constructed in the basement.
II will be connected with the main
by an invisible sound
chute. When the echo organ is
played the sounds will seem to float
from the atmosphere itself Further,
a set of steel chimes in the main or
gan will be duplicated by solid silver
chimes in the echo. There will be a
harp attachment of tuned wooden bars
with resonators below them and a
vox humana in the echo.
The new organ will have within
It's composition six complete instru-
great, the solo, the swell,

,r echo and the pedal organ. Each
register will run through 70 notes,

Pipe Organ Which Has Thrilled
Millions Is Being Made Larger

NO story OF the West is more inter-
esting than that of the building OF
the original tabernacle organ. Jo-
seph Ridges, the builder, was ma
tive of England. In his boyhood he
lived in suburb of London, and near
his home was an organ loft and organ
factory. His great delight was to
penetrate into the realm of the fac
tory and there watch with fascinat-
ing interest the details of the con-
struction of these instruments.
An experienced workman became
interested in the boy. He taught him
to play upon them and communicated
to Ridges his wealth of organ lore.
Joseph Ridges would walk for many
miles to see and hear other organs
and to study their mechanism. Many
times he would be forgotten by the
church attendants while he was study
ing the intricacies of the mechanism
and would be locked in the church.
Then came the rush to Australia
for gold and Ridges joined the search
for fortune. After a time he re-
turned to Sydney, Australia, from the
interior, and became carpenter Ev-
cry moment of his spare time was
devoted to his grand passion, the
construction of an organ. Then the
organ was built.
Ridges had become a Mormon
When an official of the church in Au-
stralia asked him to give the organ
to the church in Utah Ridges con-
sented The various sections of the
organ were soldered in tin cases and
shipped to San Pedro, Calf 1t was
hauled by mule teams to San Ber-
nardino, from which place Ridges
took it by wagon across the desert.
1t was set up in the old adobe taber- !
nacle which preceded the modern
structure.
When the great tabernacle was
building Brigham Young detailed |
Ridges to make an organ fitting with
the magnitude and beauty of the new
temple. Plans were drawn and Ridg-
es went to Boston and purchased
spring wire, brass, soft fluff leather
for the valves, ivory for the keys and
other materials which could not be
found in Utah.
White vertical grain pine was
hauled from distant mountain heights.
Lumber came from near the Arizona
line 400 miles distant by OK teams.
Great quantities of glue were requir-
ed. This was made from the hides
and hoofs of cattle that had died of
cold and hunger in the winter of I'M
oaralleled severity. Calf skin was
needed to hinge the ribs of the bel
ow. This the winter also supplied.
The great instrument did not be-
rim to take form for many months,
,ut at last it neared completion.
Ridges voiced the hundreds of pipes,
he huge bellows were put in place,
columns and pillars rose in position
md the mountain wilderness resound-
ID with music.

the other extreme of being unarmed
and unable to maintain our rights.
Between the devil and the deep sea
stands Greece, pawn and puppet of
the powers, damned if it does and
equally condemned if it doesn't.
Feeble Greece probably sought to con-
serve such strength as it has by
maintaining neutrality as best 1t
might. A Hohenzollern as consort to
the king of course may have been an
influence making for equivocation
end blocking the allies plans, but the
people themselves are divided on the
issue. And, finally, Greece must do
what one side or the other demands.
And this is Greece, once leader of
civilization and conqueror of the
known world, whose ruler wept for
other worlds to conquer, and then
ended his career in riotous living. A
lesson therein lies for nations that
are proud and powerful today. Time
passes and history records changes
which show the transient way of fame
and glory. In Egypt have been UNI
earthed the remains of great cities be-
meath cities also gone and forgotten,
which had their day of power and
glory, even as Greece has passed
from world power to the sad plight of
the little people entirely surrounded
by war. 1t is, as viewed from any an
gle, sad day for Greece, but there
remains the consolation that she once
belonged, even to a greater degree
than any of those which now attempt
to dictate her course. And to what she
is today, feeble state unable to
work her own will, may others come
as time passes. Even this war may
see Great Britain shorn of the colonies
and naval strength which make the
great red empire powerful, or should
it swing the other way, may see Ger
many dismembered into the several
separate Teutonic states from which
she sprang. Only drawn war will
leave them as they are, and that will
leave them only to prepare for an
other conflict. Nations as such are
but passing creatures, but the con
ISOLATION for mankind is that in their
shifting courses, the best is apt to
endure in those that come after.
The New York Times, a leading
Democratic newspaper, says we may
confidently expect that congress,
when it meets in December, 'will
correct the blunder of the Underwood
tariff in dropping the sugar duties"
it says: "The sugar sched-
ule of the Underwood tariff making
a moderate reduction took effect
March 1, 1914. Sugar has not been
made any cheaper to the consumer.
The government has simply thrown
away the revenue. After May l, 1915,
sugar will be admitted free of duty
unless congress amends the Under
wood act. The restoration Of the SUI
gar duty would be an act of the PLAIN
est fisca! common sense, and it is
made almost imperative upon con-
gress by the condition of the fe ieral
finances. 1t is impossible to make
successful argument for the surrender
of SIS militia dollars of revenue with
out particle of benefit to the con-
sumers of sugar. That tax should be
restored"
