Thompson.Houstou Electric L;.bt

The experiments and tests made in the
matter OF lighting the Marsac mill al
fark Clty by electricity seem to have
resulted in choice of the Thompson
Houston light as the one best adapted for
the purposes required there and # 10
probable that the system mentioned will
be retained against all competition The
Ihompson-H Houston company has a COM
plete system OF electric lighting-arc and
ncandescent-and lively bid is now
being made for Western business. The

bined with the latest improvements in

NOTES FROM THE PARK.
s.p.cora,, NJ Items of what Trans
pired During Last week

The old postoffice building is TO- De
! transferred into saloon and gymnasium,
by two well-known and popular Parkltes,
in week or so.
1t is quietly whispered about, by par
ties who profess to know, that Col. VIM.
Ferry will surely succeed E. A Ireland,
who is the present incumbent, to the
Office of U. s. Marshal, of Utah.
| The rate of sending telephone messages
from here to Ogden has been reduced
from 40 to % cents for five minutes con-
yersation, so that now it costs no more
| to telephone to Ogden than it does to
| Salt Lake.
DR.. F. G.. Blachly, who has for a long
time been located with the troops at the
Uintah Indian Agency, as physician and
surgeon, has come to cast his lot with the
people of Park City.
Owing to the stormy weather last Mon
day night, the attendance at j. Randall
Browns entertainment was not very
large Those who did go, however, were
well satisfied with the performance as a
whole.
We learn through Mr.. Geo. Jagers that
most terrific snowslide occurred in Pro-
vo Canyon, about one mile above the first
bridge from Provo City, yesterday week.
He says the sight was indescribable,
mountains of snow being thrown up in
every conceivable shape, which presented
a grand sight. Nothing like it has been
known in that locality for sixteen years.
Society Hall will seat over 600 people |
and is the nobbiest and most complete
theatre in Utah outside of Salt Lake.
Too much cannot be said OF the energetic
efforts of Mr. James to make our main
place of amusement what it is to-day.
Hereafter, it will be pleasure to 60 and
witness performance, and good troupes
need have no fear of finding good facili-
les and drawing paying houses.

by the local opera company next Monday
night, in the Salt Lake Theatre. The
opera has been rehearsed with great
deal OF attention to details, and it is ex-

edge of the various parts than has char
acterized any former of the companv,s

be in good condition to sing his role. NOT
