''There Is q very novel movement on
foot now In Salt Lake that outside people
know little or nothing about, 1t Is no less
than to build an immense salt palace there,
and hold suitable festivities, inviting the
world to join US. There have been mum:
erous ice palaces in the United States and
Canada, and one is to be opened soon at
st. Paul. There have also been corn PAL
aces without number. but there has never
been anything in the way of salt palace.
Moreover, there is no city In the
country outside of Salt Lake that could
have one.
I'VE have an abundance of salt. A
palace could be made out of it that, lit by
electric lights, would be as brilliant as one
of ICE. It would not thaw in hot wealth.

There were seven cases in all, and six
of the patients were strangers who came
here from other cities. The seventh man
caught the disease by coming in contact
with one of tine others. This goes to show
that the health of the city is all that it
is claimed to be, and that the proper steps
were taken as soon as the presence of the
dread disease was known to prevent its
spread.

There have been several quiet meetings
