IN THE GARDEN CITY
The Big Building Boom Now On
in Provo.
THE LAKE RESORT is OPENED
The Provo People Disappointed at Being I'm
able to Attend the Democratic Rally
Last Night.

The building that is now going on in
Provo and the prospect for the immediate
future evinces the fact that there are the
elements here which warrant steady and
permanent growth. We learn from con-
tractors that at present there are some
over thirty buildings of an imposing char
acter in progress OF erection.
The Central building will be as neat a
structure as has been put up in this city.
The contract was awarded to Samuel Lid
diard for laying the foundation, which will
cost 50, $50.
Through failure to complete arrange
ments with the railway companies the
Provo Democrats were unable to attend
the rally at the Salt Lake theatre last
night, but they will undoubtedly meet with
u.s. A mass meeting has been called for
this evening to arrange preliminaries for
the trip. Payson proposes to furnish dele
cation of fifty strong and Springville will
probably furnish q like number. The rail-
way officials have been seen and offer a
liberal round trip rate. It is proposed that
the coaches be handsomely decorated, and
that the party be accompanied by the best
bands from the vicinity. This being an
occasion when Congressman VIM. L. Will
son, the famous orator from West Virginia
will address the people upon Democracy
of to-day, there is little doubt that the
excursion will be q brilliant success, and
Ogden will be shaken with furore Of
hurrahs far in advance Of what ever before
emanated from a national party in that
city.
The Provo lake resort was being formally
opened yesterday. 1t was feared that stormy
weather would initiate against q success
full opening excursion, and there were
thoughts of postponement. The day having
turned out calm and clear, large crowds
assembled at the street corners to
catch the train for the lake. The Opera
ceived deserved compliments.
In the races yesterday Sleepy Dick and
Bishop, two trotters, belonging to Dick
Davis, carried away all the honors.
