Now that spring has arisen from the
lap of winter. there is good deal of
home building talk in the air. Certain
localities seem to be particularly fav-
ored. A change has come over Salt
Lake people in the last two years. It's
beginning to be understood now that
nearness to business is not so great a
consideration as it once was. Salt
Lake people are gradually discovering
that, in some localities, you can live
longer than in others. Once. the only
question was how long it would take to
walk to business, but our improved sys-
tenn of transportation has made it pos
sible for business men to live where
health conditions are more perfect than
they are down in the smoky, dusty,
germ-infected portions of the city.
Proportion Place is daily gaining in
favor for permanent homes. Some first
class families are already there, and
others will follow them. Without de-
string to discriminate it's hard to es-
cape the conclusion that sooner or later
that favored locality will be to Salt
Lake what Capitol Hill is to Denver.

An invitation tennis tournament will be

1t is expected that many of the old players
who did not take part in the San Rafael
tournament will meet on this occasion and
prove to their younger competitors that
they are still experts at the net.
There IS considerable talk of holding
special matches in conjunction with the

next month. Special matches will GER

Walter Foster of the Olympic Club

Zingler in the half-mile.
Leonard Gill, a well-known amateur
athlete, is now editor and proprietor of
the Olympic. Under Mr.. Gill's manage

to all-rOund sport, should prosper. 1t is
an interesting little sheet, and it should
receive the support of the club mem bers.
A contest between Phil Fay and Stanley
Fay Of the Olympic Club in running and
jumping is now talked of. Fred Butt is
an athlete that will soon be heard from in
all-TOund competition.
Bert Coffin, the champion half-mile
runner of the coast, says that he will try
for record at the clubs meeting in Au-
gust. Coffin will endeavor to lower the
mile record held by Brown OF the STAN

The editor of Field Sports does not ap-
prove of the idea of hunter wearing a
red shirt because a brilliant color will tend
to brighten deer. On the contrary. red
shirt will many times cause a deer or
antelope to stand and gaze in surprise at
the man who wears it, and. besides, there
will be less danger of a hunter who wears
a red shirt getting shot by his companions.
It is presumed that the editor of Field
Sports wears "bOiled" shirt when hunt

while he latter were running. OF course

Permission to Go Ashore and
Was Refused Both.

Another chapter was added last night
10 the tempestuous record or the ship En-
pire, and several features were added to
the captains face which he would gladly
sacrifice. The vessel is lying at the foot
of Vallejo street, and it is reported along
the front that her crew are kept on board
by the captain lest they should tell tales
about the recent voyage from the antipodes
that would make very interesting reading.
Early in the evening the ships flag was

presence of the ladies.
1t appears from the statements of men,
bers of the crew that Peterson demanded
his wages and permission to go ashore. but
the captain refused to give either, on the
ground that Peterson had been drinking.
Peterson thereupon knocked the captain
down and was pummeiing him with igor
and enthusiasm when the steward came
to the rescue and dragged him off. The
second mate was taken to the police sta
tion and booked for battery. 1t is probable
that the captain will charge him with
mutiny.

Morris denies that he is guilty of the

having anything to do with such an exhi-
