members OF the club-members who shall
have the freedom of the rooms at any time,
but who will have no voice In the election

and branches in every city of Utah and the
main cities of the adjoining states, with
the centre always In Salt Lake. In that
way it can be made a power for the good

THE TUscARoRA EXCURSION.
Speaking of the Tuscarora field day at
