Matthew White, VINO has lived on the
shore of Great Salt lake for three years.
Mr.. Whites may be set down as the origi
nal cottage, and his Steam boat Retreat
is as novel q dwelling as can be met with
anywhere. He has become greatly at
tached to the old lake and never tires
OF telling of its buoyant atmos-
phere briuy waters and picturesque
scenery Everyone mentions the Quiet
restfulness of the place. But there are
days when the tempest is high, the sea
heavy and the sand driven by the winds
with such force that it would cut ones
face. The last heavy storm was on March
Is. Judging from what ne had seen at other
places he estimated the velocity OF the wind
at seventy-hve miles an hour. The storms
coming from the Tooele valley go the entire
length Of the lake, while the storms origin
ating in the Salt Lake valley follow I'D the
Wasatch mountains as far as Farming on,
and are precipltated between the islands of
the lake.
Sheriff Burt, whatever his other faults
may have been, has been an efficient officer
and his record will compare with the best.
Ills father was shot down in a cowardlv
manner when in the act of arrestiBg a
negro and the son inherited all the bravery
CT his sire. Sheriff Burt could boast until
week ago that he never went after his
man without getting him and that he never
made an arrest without making case.
But the other night the sheriff was almost
sobblng over his failure to make his COM
plant stick and he blamed the prosecut-
ing witness for having ''gone clear back,
on what be expected him TO testify, thus
breaking his enviable record.
G. A. Hungerford editor of The Hotel
Gazette New York, the Oldest journal of it's
kind, was introduced to THE HERALp's
roundup man last evening as he sat chat
ting with Gus Holmes in the Knutsford
corridor. Mr.. Hungerford was delighted
to find so perfectly arranged and we'll con-
Quoted hotel as the Knutsford in this
mountaIn-bound country and his impress
sions OF the city were equally enthusiastic.
From him it was learned that
Gotham's demands for more and better
hotel accommodations are being met and
that two very imposing buildings will be
completed this year-the Savoy at the cor
ner of Eifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue.
at Central park, and the Holland on Broad
way at Thirty-third street. But these do
not compare with the two hotel palaces that
Fifth avenue. The one facing on Central
park will be of solid steel, seventeen stor-
les, and contain from four to five hundred
rooms. The other, and larger building. will
be at the corner of Thirtieth street
and Fifth avenue on the site of the
building in which William Astor died. 1t
will cover en- area of 100x225 feet and be
fourteen stories high and the finest hotel
structure in this country. No money will
be spared to finish the building on the
grand scale it has been started, and the
two buildings will cost in the neighborhood
of 50, 000,0 900.
0. w. Powers will soon be back num-
Der in politics. His hasco at Chicago and
his bulldozing tactics at the alleged Lib
erai conference have brought him into dis
repute with his own party and his star is
on the political wane.
On returning from the Chicago conven-
ton, Powers fe' that his glory had de-
parted and that his political career was at
an end. 1t was sorry pill to him. 1t called
up memories OF the many sad disappoint-
ments Of his checkered political career.
The bitterness of the thought that he was
about TO play out in Utah, as he had in
made him desperate. In the
reckless madness of the moment he
the gap between him and his
party. His feelings were akin to those SO
ably pictured in ''the man without a
country"
Powers was never much of a SUCCESS az
a ward politician and his fort has been in
