errand will be. fruitless
The Herald representative called on Mr..
! Grip. Swedish ambassador today in re-
| lat:on TO the Scandinavian consulship.
which is to be established at Salt Lake
| City Mr.. Grip says as soon a suitable
for this position. Several applicants for
| the place have already filed their papers,
none of which he is disposed to appoint.
He wants to appoint a lawyer, real estate
man, banker or practical business man,
and prefers Scandinavian. The post
has not been filed for eight years.
As related in The Herald locally, few
days ago, all those who secure places
under this administration will have TO
nave the endorsement of Arthur Brown,

The Herald is calling the urn ali right
! when il asserts that a man who has not

ment His name is a secret. and no one
knows how to spell il. Blu, Mckinley
wishes to bestow this office on one who
has been Il personal friend for years
That is all that can be obtained in this
connection The appointment is as good
as made right now. and all the efforts or
the other fellows viii be wasted energy,
if reports from the inside are true
The dispatch which states that the
Swedish ambassador does not feel salts
hed with the applications filed with him
for the consulship here is a sort of sur
prise. Can il be possible that Grip has
reve- heard of George Olsen. who com
bines in himself all the qualities of a
business man. real estate man. banker
and Scandinavian? Perhaps Olson doesn't
know any too much about the law and
would not handle case IN court with

Of Dennis Eichnor or John Lu Taylor'

ideal man for the place if II IS TO be be
