SALT LAKES EISTEDDFOD.
Denver is Interested in the Coming
sIusic,I FeHtivai.

Musical Fertivai.
The Salt Lake Eisteddfod has taken
good hold in Denver The papers from
there contain glowing accounts of the
recent choral organization and what
they propose to do here in competition
with similar organizations The Re
publican says: The Denver people
are taking hold of this matter with a
vim that is cOmmendable, and it is
safe to assume that it's choir. with
Prof. Houseley at the head, will be
heard from fayorably in competition
with its Utah neighbors'
1t is expected that no less than a
dozen choruses will contest for the
$500 prize. The fact that Denver is to
compete will put Salt Lake on its met
tie, for it would never do for this city
to lose its reputation for the best
musical talent west of Chicago. Two
choruSeS are already hard at work
here, and the interest of the singers
derStood that the Denver choir will be-
gin rehearsing tonight. The leader,
Prof. Henry Houseley, ranks high as
a musician in Colorado He is regard
ed as a very clever author, being the
composer of several well-known operas
and OratoriOs. The latest of his pro-
auctions is a comic opera, 1.-The Jug
gler" which is now being rehearsed by
the Bostonians. Mr.. r. j. Thomas, the
travelling representative of the great
festival, has, since leaving Denver,
visited Coal Creek, Erie, Pueblo and
Leadville. He reports wonderful sue
cess, stating that a number of mu-
SicianS have entered from those places
for the various solos, duets, quartettes
and other contests. He further adds
that a large crowd from different parts
of Colorado will take advantage of
the low rates and take in the Eistedd-
fod. 1t is estimated that there will -be
from 400 to 500 people from Denver
alone. So what with the crowds that
will be present from all over Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho, the number of
people that will be in town October 8
and 4 will run up into the thousands.
The judges of the contests have all
been engaged but one. The two with
whom arrangements for their being
here are completed are William Apma-
doc, of Chicago, and Haydn Evans,
Che winner of the first prize at the
Worlds Fair, of Scranton, Penn. 1t
lect adjudicators from places where
there are no competitors, so that there
may be no possible display of favor
itism. In all probability, the third
judge will be from either Omaha or
New York.
A meeting of all the committees of
the Eisteddfod will be held next We'd
nesday night at the residence of eX-
Governor Thomas to further complete
the plans for carrying out the enter
prise Mr.. Thomas is expected to ar
rive in Salt Lake over the Rio Grande
this afternoon.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Weekly Summary Issued Yesterday
BY Observer Smith.

Following is summary of the
weather and crop bulletin issued yes
terday by Observer Smith:
Weather-Although the weather on
several days was unusually hot and
sultry, the average temperature for
the week was only one degree in eX-
cess of the normal. The week closed
with generous showers prevailing over
the northern portion of the territory
where they were very much needed
as the streams are getting low and
water for irrigating purposes insult
ficient for crops. In the southern por-
ton of the territory from which only
a few reports have been received this
week, it appears that warm dry
weather has prevailed in all sections
during the past seven days. Light
frosts occurred in Wasatch and Sum-
NIT counties, but no damage is re-
ported. Upon the whole, the week has
harvest operations.
Crops-The showers at the close of
the week were beneficial to the grow
ing crops, especially vegetables, which
were beginning to show signs of the
need of moisture. Potatoes look
promising, except in portions of
Cache, Sewer and Sanpete counties,

damage by the June frosts. The
grain harvest is now in full blast,
and threshing has begun in portions
of Utah county. The second crop of
lucern is being cut, and in many dis
tricts it is all in stack; the crop
promises to be light in nearly all sec
lions. Sugar beets are doing well
and indicate an unusually large crop
this year. Corn is reported in good
condition and growing nicely, but
needs more moisture for rapid and
satisfactory development. In Wayne
county it is in silk. In the southern
portion early peaches, apricots and
grapes are ripe. new potatoes and
pears are ready for market, and
spring grain is ready to cut. The
principal part of the rye has been cut,
and the harvesting of oats has COM
menced. Barley is about ready to
cut. Squirrels arc very numerous i'll
some of the northern counties and
have already done considerable dam
age to crops.

The outlook for business? Well it's
very good. In fact the prospects
through that section of the country
are better than they have been for
years. both for freight and passenger
business. The crops are immense, and

With the ostensible purpose in view
of securing lands for oil exploration,
a syndicate of local people, represented
in all Of its recorded doings by James
a. Luke, is just now doing some
smooth work and during the past few
days it has placed on record with the
county recorder a number of instru-
ments covering several large tracts of
acreage in the neighborhood of the
old Church farm. These properties are
held under option. The latest were
placed on record yesterday There
were two of them and the grantors are
William II. Jones and Mrs. Ann Holm
berg, the land involved being about
sixty acres. 1t was announced that
there would be other of these filings
az the very near future.
As has been before stated several
times. the general understanding
among mining men is that the OIL
game is simply grand bluff and the
real purpose of the syndicate in secur-
ing these lands is to make search for
deposits Of gold bearing sands. This
excitement over the presence of gold
an the sands of the valley has not sub
sided and the search IS still being
maintained by diligent and experienced
prospectors. Quite a number of tests
Were made of the sand yesterday and
more are to follow. Several prominent
mining men Went down TO in the
neighborho0d of the Church farm yes
Ierday afternoon and brought back
with them several sacks of sand. Tests
made with the latter revealed the
presence of about 80 cents per ton in
gold Some showing of colors was OBJ

stated yesterday morning, there is

THE CENTRAL PACIFIC.
Story About the Company Avoiding
Il Receiyership.

NEW YORK, July 91.-At the offices
Of the Central Pacific Railroad COM
pany here this evening it is positively
denied that the company had avoided
a receivership by making arrange
ments with the bondholders. When
shown dispatch stating that a San
Francisco paper had made this asser-
ton, Mr.. L. z. Gates said:
There is absolutely no truth in this
statement When the series of bonds
amounting to nearly 100000 became
due on July l, the bondholders were
given the privilege of extending them
for two and a half years at per cent
per annum, and the holders readily
accepted.
There has been no dividend de-
clared by the company, but the South
ern Pacific has been extensively adj
vertised since July 1 and has been
paying one-half of 1 per cent of the
par value of the stock to the stock
holders of the Central Pacific company.
These are the facts and it can easily
be seen no deal was made The
statement to the contrary is without
foundation"
