RAILWAY MEMS DAY.
Numerous Railroad Men and Their
Friends at Saltair.
Colonel Montsomery's Speech on the Sill
yer ouestion-Many Prizes Awarded
"A Spirited Dancing Contest.

The excursion given by the Switch
mems and Carmens' Aid society and the
carpenters was well attended. Labors
silver day was memorable one in every
particular, ample amusement was az
forded, games for which prizes were
awarded were warmly contested.
During the afternoon Colonel B. F.
Montgomery delivered an address upon
the all-absorbing topic of the day-"Silv-
Ver.' The colonel delivered an excellent
discourse, ably defending his title of the
silver tongued orator, discussing at
length the effect OF the demonstration
of silver upon labor and showing the rea
son why it was demonetized in
of Europe. He incidentally discussed
the effect of the contraction of the
currency upon all industries. He said
the reason why the greenbacks were
funded and the bonds issued was to create
system whereby the bankers could con-
troll the money. He held that gold and
silver should be legal tender. in a ratio
OF to is, coined by our government for
our people. We produce sixteen pounds
OF silver to every one pound of gold and
money should therefore be coined in that
ratio. The colonel concluded his remarks
by advocating the progress and good of
the orders, quoting ''rhat what man
hath joined together let no man put asun-
der"
AWARDING THE PRIZES.
During the afternoon the following
prizes were awarded:
To the most popular man attending the
excursion, gold-headed cane-won by
Edward Hall.
To the handsomest lady, box OF gloves
Mrs. Mills.
To the homeliest man present, hand
INTERMEDIATES Olsen.
10 the winner of a free-for-all water
race, $5-James Latham.
The event of the evening was the dane
Ing contest. A prize of $40 was offered
to the couple able to waltz the longest.
Thirty-two couple were entered, adults
and youths. At SIP the master OF cere-
monies announced everything in readi-
ness and the lovers OF the charming waltz
glided upon the pavilion's highly polished
floor. Everything went smoothly until
about S:45, when trio of youthful fe-
males manifested their lack of endurance
for such is all the contest really was
by fainting. Miss Milligan, an unknown
lady and Miss Cora Hall were carried from
the floor and everything possible done
to resuscitate them. At this iuncture.
the matter coming to the ears of Manager
Clayton, who was not cognizant of the
above proceedings, he Immediately sought
the arrangement committee and an
nounced ''that this affair must be
stopped. 1t is nothing but brutality and
disgraceful proceeding, and l wish no
stigma to be cast upon this resort during
my management. Why, cannot see the
feasibility of having little children in an
affair of this kind at all. -
The committee then announced that the
nine couples left upon the floor would
have their names placed upon slips and
the first names drawn by the. blindfolded
$40.
Mr.. j. R. Watson and Miss Floe Full
mer were the lucky couple, were accord
ingIy awarded the prize.

INDIANS MAY NOT DANCE.

Colonel Blunt Refuses to Give the Neces-
sary Permission
Colonel Blunt has sternly refused to
give his permission for the Indians to
dance at Saltair on the occasion OF the
Mystic Shrlners' excursion. The colonel
does not give his reasons. The public
will miss a great deal because this con-
sent is withheld, as the Indians were
determined to give good exhibition.
But the chief thing would have been the
Grafton of Sergeant James. He was pre-
pairing for fine effort and would un-
doubleday have surprised all who heard
him by his imaginative thoughts and
dramatic defamation. 1t is to be hoped
that the colonel will change his mind.

ABLE ARGuMENTs.


Both Mr.. Waite and Mr.. Whittemore
made able arguments in support of their
proposition, the whole matter being
briefly outlined in the following brief:
To the Honorable County Court of Salt Lake
County, sitting as Board of Equa liZation
Your petitioners would respectfully
complain and represent unto your honor
able body.
THAT they and each of them are the
owners of real estate within the city of
Salt Lake, Salt Lake county, Utah terri
tory, which has been assessed for taxes
for the year 1888.
2-That the real estate comprised within
the limits of said Salt Lake city is owned
by very large number OF different peo-
pie and 1t would be impracticable for each
and every of said real estate owners to file
separate complaint, and this COM
plant is therefore made by the parties
appearing herein, not only on their own
behalf, but on the behalf of all of the
owners of real estate within the limits of
said city of Salt Lake.
3-That the assessed valuation of all of
the real estate within the limits of said
Salt Lake city for the year 1898 is largely
in excess of the value of said real estate
as compared with the value of the real
estate in Salt Lake county, Utah terri
tory, without the limits of said Salt Lake
city, as shown by the assessed value
thereof.
4-That the assessed valuation of said
real estate within tbs limits OF said Salt
Lake city is and was on Jan. 1, 1898, at
least, % per cent. in excess of it's actual
value as compared with the assessed valu-
alton of the real estate in said Salt Lake
county, outside the limits of said Salt
Lake city.
5-That from the year 1885 to the year
| 1889 the assessed value of property within
the limits OF said city of Salt Lake was
increased from 100 to 500 per cent, and
from the year 1889 to the year 1893 prac-
tically the highest rate of assessment on
property within the city has been main
| tanned with little or no reduction, while
the actual value of said real estate has de-
clined from 20 to 30 per cent. since said
1889.
| Wherefore, your petitioners would pray
! THAT the assessed valuation OF all OF
the real estate within the limits OF said
Salt Lake city be equalized with the as
sessed valuation of the real estate outside
of said Salt Lake city and within said
Salt Lake county, by reducing the assessed
| valuation of said real estate within the
] limits of said Salt Lake city % per cent.
