I'AKR. the State of Utah added to the wealth of the world an output of lead, copper, silver and gold amounting" to about twenty-simillion dollars. A state capable of doing this without unusual effort, in one line of industry, mining, might be expected to havo something to show when it came to make an exhibit for the great "World's Fair. She has not only anticipated but far exceeded reasonable expectation. She has un exhibit worth crossing the ocean to see and has fully justified her claim to bo considered one of the great industrial states of the American Union. We "wish first to mention the exhibit in the Palace of Mines and Metalurgy. Whoever planned the display was an artist in his tasto and experienced in his business, and the remark may equally apply to the arrangement of the exhibit in the other departments of the exposition. This mining display is comprehensive As large as it is, it can be easily compassed even by the novice. The first thing to attract attention is u concentrating mill in full operation. All the various manipulations of the ores to the ultimate output of pure metal can bo followed by the eye and readily undei stood. The looker on takes his first lesson in actual mining operations, and while he is astonished by the processes he is practically edit catcd by the object lesson. Aside from the usual products of the mines in the shape of pyramids und columns of valuable ores, there is a most interesting collection of more unusual minerals and other things brought to light from tho mountains of Utah. Carnotite from which that most wonderful of minerals, radium, produced may be seen. It appears tint it is of such frequent occurrence in the Utah mines that it is quite likely they may be ablo to supply the world's demand. Altogether Utih has twenty Urge glass cases and about forty five tables tilled with mineral exhibits, to say nothing of the floor space. Utah's exhibit in tho Palace of Agriculture is the equal in beauty, completeness of any stato and maintains the reputation achieved in tho mining display. The arrangement of .the exhibit is striking. In part it is displayed in a pavilion, the beautiful domes of which is upheld by glass columns filled with seeds from irrigated farms, while the columns themselves are entwined with grapes and wild flowers in rich profusion. Tho display of fruits, vegetablss and cereals is particularly fine revealing to unaccustomed eyes the vast possibilities of irrigation. Overlooking the exhibit stands "Miss Utah" carved with artistic skill from a mass of beeswax. That she his many admirers from other states than her native end i attested by the delighted cro.vns upon whom she vouchsafes her kindly smile. After climbing a 1003 x seven-hundred-poun- short stairway one is well repaid for the exertion with a panoramic view of the Utah valley. It is intended to show what irrigation has done for a former desert waste transformed into a vale of entransing beauty, waving fields, bright gardens and cases of green, dotted with cheerful homes and herds of fat kine No visitor should fail to see Utah's reaUt'.c picture.

Let any building, of whatever kind, purpose or value, stand idle, and it has to be regarded by the boys as a legitimate prey, and they at once set about to deface it to the best of their ability and bravery. Glass breaks easily, and the work of destruction One begins on the windows. to night is usually sufficient give the most beautiful and ornamental building a forlorn and dilapidated appearance and the combined effect is to give Nephi a rag tag appearance tho year round. The value of the destroyed property wo will not attempt to estimate. But there is another result of far deeper portent and significance The boy that is large enough to destroy property is also old enough to know that it is criminal. He may not know-awe do that he is on the same road that all criminals travel, but he knows that is criminal and he does it in the dark. lie may not know as we do that lie is fitting himself for a felons cell but that don't lessen our responsibility in the matter. Every parent and every ofli rial lias a responsibility in this matter. A united effort should bo made to apprehend the guilty and put a stop to it. Detectives should bo employed and traps Laid if need be, and when the guilty are caught they should bo severely dealt with. Of course your children would not do anything bad, but the proper cau tionsand instructions to them may find its way to the guilty patties. s Don't Buy from Snides Nephi has three first class General up-toda- te Merchandise Home From the Field.
