PROVO POINTERS.
w. r. Pike For the House of
Representatives.
A Capitalist Looking for :Inyestment-Th
The Teachers at Castella Springs
Enjoy Themselves Hugely.

Democrats throughout the Eleventh dis
trict are thoroughly satisfied with their
candidate for the house of representatives.
w. X. Pike has gained the highest esteem
from all classes and a moro popular man
could not have been selected. His record
cannot be sssailed from any standpoint and
he has been identified with every Demo
cratic move in our territory. In his speech
before the convention which gave him the
nomination, he stated that he had never
wandered after strange political gods, but
that his beacon Of light had been the Dem
| ocratic party with no entangling alliances.
! He has thorough knowledge of the wants
and necessities Of the people Of this section
and none will question but that his best
efforts will be devoted to the good of his
| constituency.
The opera house doors were to be swung
! open last night to give the people an op-
| portunity of seeing variety show in the
shape OF a cock fight and smuggling match,
but there occurred hitch between the
buffers or the cocks and the event was
postponed until Monday evening, when
Slade, the cocks and other local sports will
! flop around.
August Myers, a mining broker aud
capitalist who is Familiarity called Gus
! 10 - my - RoJ Ahs ONh SAby q
visit His object is to run across good
paying investments and after an Investiga-
ton he mas pretty well decided that Provo
real estate is us stable an investment and
I as good a speculation as can be found in
the intermountain cities. He is specially
attracted by the wonderful resources that
are opening up On every hand and is more
than delighted with the fine bathing in
Utah lake.
Mr. Myers has stated that he will make
an effort to secure some large capital for
investment in Provo on his return east
which will be after his return TO Granite
Mont. where he holds the position of
president of the Lord Nelson Mining COM
pany.
CAsTELLA SPRINGS.
1t was believed that on the advent of the
/ teachers at Castella hot springs a great
round of festivity would ensue and liz has
I come to pass. Enjoyment is rife, both in
tellectual end convivial. If any one knows
the road to supreme pleasure in all it
varied phases IL is the teachers and If they
don't make Rome Tor Castella) howl in the
last days OF their session, Friday being the
last, il won't be because they don't try.
| The Provo orchestra went up on Tuesday
further to enhance the pleasure and furn-
ish music for those who follow the bent Of
their terpshichorean desires.
The institute got on its working clothes
on Tuesday, having absorbed Monday in
getting ready. Superintendent Wilson, Of
Utah county, was on hand early pre-
pairing for organization which was
gotten under way ON Tuesday. Superin-
tendent Stewart arrived heading as fair an
army of beautiful pedagogic A,aazons
as IS rarely seen, ana very easily explained
the vexed question to our worriedstrustees
as to why teachers will marry.
The organization is as follows: z. A.
4 NJ
president; Miss Katie Dean, secretary; J.
b. Walton, sergsent-at-arms @. II. Brim-
| hall, w. NJ. Stewart, Miss Ella Nebeker
executive committee. After the WORK of
| organization was effected the programme
as published was followed almost to the
letter, the several impromptu concerts
given exhibiting decided ability among
the scholastic fraternity. Miss Viola
Pratt. the alto soloist pleased the assem-
bled multitude by the purity of her low
notes, which were exceptionally clear and
resonant. Miss Laura Webb, of Lehi,
also scored several more triumphs. The
Provo orchestra played several excellent
selections. A grand bail was given on
Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday
another concert. Tonight political dis
cussion on the great national questions viii
take place. Tomorrow the convention
will come down en- masse and meet the
tabernacle choir at Provo before their final
QlSSOlutlOn.
