made convenient by the abundance OF
brick clay in the vicinity. And here we
may add that no part of the territory has
the raw material for the manufacture OF
beautiful and durable brick in such in
exhaustible abundance as Kaysv1lle.
Some of the beautiful edffces OF Salt Lake

of this production, which forms one OF the
resource OF our city.
No extensive mineral deposits nave YET

that hidden wealth exists in our noun

While the locating of mines would
greatly promote her growth, it is not ao-
solutely necessary for the advancement
of Kaysville. Her future is full of
promise. Her citizens own and love
their homes, and one thing which will
tend to build her up is that all who locate
there become bona fide residents working
for the good of the city.
Her business houses are all solid estab-
ishments, and are headed by men OF
acknowledged business ability.
She has the only bank in the county,
and the institution is doing large bust
ness.
She is the only town in the county hav-
ing the advantage of municipal govern
ment.
The prosperity of the past year coupled
with the prospects of the future make
Kavsville a desirable and profitable place
for home-seekers.

they eat steaks and chops and salads
and such like eolid goods. Senator
Squire believes in the same sort OF
food. Senator Hoar once excited much
popular commiseration by stating that
goldfish was his staple article OF diet.
That may be the main source of his
nutriment at home, but In the Senate
his tendencies are toward tarrapin or
broiled oysters; none of the walters
ever heard him mention Goldfish. Black
burns favorite dish Is deviled ham.
Teller manages to get along very nicely
with a modicum of cold tongue or corned
beef. Sawyer Is devoted to custard pie
and milk; he likes liberal sprinkling of
cheese with his pie. Another lover Of
pie is Wilson; the variety is apple, and
1t must be hot. Frye believes broilcd
oysters to be satisfactory, but Stanford
prefers lamb chops or calves liver and
bacon. Fulton is very fond of pork and
beans. Sanders, like nearly all the
other Northwestern Senators, consumes
oysters; he likes them raw-the rawer
the better. Davis lives we'll; sirloin
Is also properly fed; oysters are a spe-
favorite. Hawley consumes oysters.
Allison thrives on graham bread toast
and a pot Of tea. Hale wants bowl of
custard and glass of milk.
German figures out the moves on the
national chess board while disposing of
cold turkey. Harris has an affection for
oysters that have been broiled. Vance
eats but little. He is satisfied generally
with a sandwich, glass of milk and,
sometimes, an apple. Faulkner devours
the raw oyster; Blodgett, the sirloin
steak. Cockrell is an infrequent visitor.

Senator employe, to say nothing of the
liberal sprinkling of newspaper men who
hurry in and out, combining the hasty
pleasure of eating with the business
Of gathering information. To feed all
these hungry ones Mr.. Page has to
employ about thirty people-twelve Of
them in the kitchen-and they all have
reasonable opportunity to earn their
recompense. Three dusky retainers at

counter, transmit orders of walters to
the kitchen and hand out the tangible
responses. OF these James Lewis is
chief. He is invariably designated
Lewis, and he probably would not
know that he was being spoken to il
otherwise addressed. His business-like
silence is as marked as his business
like ability.

that Washington Star reporter be-.

Senators subsst principally ON terrapin
and champagne. 1t may be necessary
to state that this impression As errone-

tainers In the comparative privacy Of
the senatorial rooms, but he prefers to
stand right up against the counter and
there wash down large chunks of high
grade pie with the assistance of clear
spring water. Senator Blair used TO do
the same thing, but he did IL regularly
and perhaps little more stylishly; he
always drank milk with his pie and the
pie was either apple or custard. Many
