How is the Salt Lake HeraId'S patriotic
liver?
The Oregon Short Line is reaping har-
vest from the heavy tourist travel to the
West.
II has been said that Salt Lake police
man can do anything. Anybody who was In
Salt Lake on the Fourth will believe it.
The flag stats on the Gardo, Ne,Cs build
ing and Tabernacle looked 90 scrawny that
it was semi-officially declared that they had
the poll evil.
Excitement was at fever heat at Camp
Douglas during Saturday. Many of the sol
diers wanted to run Salt Lake and place the
flag where it belonged.
The new postal law is now in force. Let
ter writers should remember that postage
rates are now only two cents per ounce
instead of two cents per half ounce as for
merly.
The Fireman's Band will have pleasant
excursion to Lake Point on Wednesday.
Dancing and other sports will be INDUCED
in, and an enjoyable time will be provided
for all.
An educational meeting will be held at
the Methodist Church this evening at 8
O'Clock. Bishops Warren and Walden, now
visiting here, will preside. Everybody is in
vited to be present.
Both young and old Democracy got to the
front on Saturday in good style. The flag
is all right in the hands of the Democrats,
but the Peoples" party may no longer be
trusted with its honor.
One feature of Salt Lakes celebration
of the Fourth was the contest between the
great American Eagle and the great I'M
American Crow. Before the eagle got
through it was a badly-plucked Grow.
The express business on the Utah a.
Northern is SO heavy that the company is
compelled to use an extra, and sometimes
two extra express coaches. Fruit and fowls
constitute the greater part of the matter.
One of the Coop clerks was asked, early
on the morning of the Fourth, the reason
why the Stars and Stripes were in mourning
at that institution :Damfno," the clerk
replied; but l guess Sep Sears must have
got back"
ones who concocted the disgrace to the flag.
1t was the last straw, and has broken many
of their constituents backs. They will
neither mourn for liberty nor vote the "Peo
pies" ticket again.
Yesterday about noon frightened horse
ran down Second South street and along the
sidewalk by the postoffice until it collided
with a lamp post near the Union block.
The wagon stopped and the horse went on.
No damage, except to the wagon.
Barlow d Wilson's Mammoth Minstrels
will appear at the Salt Lake Theatre to-
morruw and Wednesday evenings. This
company comes to us highly endorsed by
the Eastern press, and will undoubtedly
meet with rousing reception IN this city.
The shipment of fruit from Salt Lake to
all points is now assuming considerable pro-
portions. The pioneer packing house of
Utah. under the management of Mr.. Fred
Lyngberg, is doing large business in this
respect, as well as in the fish and game line.
The police headquarters, court room, Re-
corder's office and several adjoining rooms
on the ground floor of the City Hall are be-
ing renovated and painted. The propriety
of painting the rooms green, blue or red is
under consideration by the different depart
ments.
Sunday night, between II and o'clock,
two young men named Carlson and Kline
engaged in a fight on the State road while
returning from one of the clubs. Three
lively rounds were fought, in which Kline
got away with half of the disgrace and
damage.
The Underground Fourth of July celebra-
ton committee has made it very tough for
Marshal Phillips. The reputation of Salt
Lake policemen should be enough for any
man to groan under, but TO add to it the
stigma of hauling down the American flag is
worth more than $50 a month.
The local report and the editorial COM
ments of the Salt Lake Herald upon the
disgrace to the flag are curiosities of news
III = 80
thing that the Salt Lake Herald couldn't
apologize and lie for, we should like to know
it. 1t is an organ of the Peoples Party"
Emigration, Parley's, City Creek, and Big
Cottonwood canyons were lined with fishing
parties on the Fourth. A great many visited
Mill Greek and Big Cottonwood fishing
grounds, but caught no trout worth men,
tioning, ON account of the high water.
Visitors to Pleasant Valley returned loaded
down with the speckled tribe.
While Rev. j. b. Thrall was delivering
brakes Address to the American Flag" at
Lindsay's gardens on the Fourth, Charley
Grow was delivering his little patriotic
speech at the City Hall. Everybody has
read and admired brakes eloquent address;
but few, perhaps, except those present on
Saturday, can form any idea of the beauty
of Crows rhetoric. We just give one ex
tract: "Pull il up, and see if you don't get
hurt"
When Chief-of- Police Phillips declared
the flag the property of the City Hall and
that he would do as he pleased with II, IT
showed him to be lax student of history.
Several foreigners and some of our southern
citizens have at different times thought the
same way, but have had forcible convincing
evidence TO the contrary. What nations
have failed to do, we scarcely believe a chief
of police can accomplish. Phillips should
be removed peremptorily.
The base ball players of Butte are now in
active practice, and q nine will be formed
out of fifteen or more excellent players. In
addition TO probable contests with some of
the Montana clubs, the Salt Lake and |
Ogden mines will be taken in hand, and ne
gotiations are in progress with the Portland,
Oregon, club champions of the Pacific /
coast for a series of match games early in |
August The Butte club, as our local play /
ers are already aware, will be hard one to
down.
Personal.
