I0HONOR THE OLD FOLKS
cIans Are Being featured by the
Committee.
THE FESTIVITIES WILL BE HELD
ON JUNE %.
Veterans Are to be Entertained in
Salt Lake This Year-Transporta
ton gements-Concert and
Sociable at the Tabernacle.

Plans are being matured by the Old
Folks committee to bring TO this city
from every point between Ogden and
Payson all PERSONS over 70 years old
who are able to get along without at
PENDANTS. The old folks will be given
a genuine festival, which will COM
mence on June %, the anniversary of
the birth Of Bishop Edward Hunter.
The entertainment viii continue two
CT three days, and then the old people
Will be sent to their homes, all free OF
expense 20 them.
The Oregon Short Line has agreed
to furnish free transportation for the
old folks from all points from Ogden TO
Payson, and it is intended 10 have them
all comfortable located here by the
evening of June 81.
TIE programme is TO have the visit
crs taken to Fort Douglas on the fol-
lowing morning, where Colonel Kent
will give them a reception The street
railway companies will transport the
guests TO the fort as well as they can,
and those who cannot be accommo-
dated on the street cars will be taken
out in private cOnyevances.
One of the most interesting features
of the festival will occur in the after
noon. when a concert and sociable will
be held in the tabernacle, and it is eX-
pected that President MILFORD Wood
ruff will deliver an address TO his fell
low patriarchs. The musical programme
viii be rendered not only by the tab
ernacle choir, but also by many other
singers and performers, including the
old time band of early days. w. c.
Dunbar and his Scotch bagpipes and
Held's orchestra. During the concert
the lower floor will be restricted en-
tirely to persons 80 years old and over.
and every one under that age will be
obliged TO go in the gallery. On the
following morning the aged guests VIII
be given an excursion to Garfield. where
they will be met by the residents of
Tooele county, who are over 20 years
old, and then 200 wagons and other We
Efcles Will be on hand to take them to
the beach, where they will spend the
day. The ToOele county old people will
return to their homes in the wagons,
and the others will be taken back to
Salt Lake City and sent TO their homes
either that evening or the following
morning, as circumstances may re-
ouire.
Everyone who has been approached
on the subject has given the greatest
encouragement and assistance TO the
Old Folks committee. and ii is esti-
mated that the aged guests who will be
present will number about 1,5OO, and
this number will'be greatly augmented
by those living in the city. The commit
tee has decided that it can not include
within it's hospitality any aged persons
who require the services of an attend
ant, and while it regrets this very
much. it cannot undertake the respon-
sibility Of caring for those old folks
-, orr fr,r
The committee having this novel en-
tertainment in charge will obliterate all
creed. race and color, and viii embrace
in the hospitality of the occasion all Old
people who are able TO take care OF
themselves awav from home.

THE LAND BOARD.
MORE SELECTIONS MADE BY
COMMISSIONERS YESTERDAY.
Nearly All of Potato Valley Will be
Sold to the Settlers-Is a Beauti-
full and Fertile District.
The state land board continued in

The state land board continued in
session yesterday and made some more
selections of land. Almost the entire
district known as Potato valley, OF
which Escalante is the metropolis, has
been selected by the state and will be
sold to the settlers. Commissioner Nc
Farlane recently visited the valley and
came to the conclusion that it would
be a wise move for the state to select
some lands Although many Of the
people there have settled as home
steaders they were quite willing 10 al
low the state to select the land so that
they could purchase it for $l.25 per acre
rather than pay the money into the
Golfers of Uncle Sam.
The valley is now settled by some
thing like 200 families, who are in a
prosperous condition. The district is
said to be one of great scenic beauty
as well as fertility of soil. The only
drawback at present is its great dis
lance from the railroad. The land
selector believes Potato valley is des-
tined to become a great country.

enlarged from time to time until the
Western office will equal the famous

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-06-03

If the Union Pacific maintains its
city ticket office after the Short Line
removes. the Colorado Midland will GER
tainly open a local Office and the same
action on the part of the Denver & Rio
Grande is not at all improbable. Cen
eral Agent Brown. of the Colorado Mid
land, has advised that this course be
taken and is now in Denver to confer
with General Passenger Agent Bailey.
The Midland is the most interested
road in the establishment of a ticket
Office in Salt Lake because it is the
competing passenger line of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande from Grand Junction
clear into Zion. There would be no
object in the Burlington or Santa Fe
maintaining city quarters here, as they
are fully protected by their western
connections. The Rio Grande Western
is neutral line, so far as the Midland
and Denver & Rio Grande are con-
cerned, but if Mr.. Bailey acts on Mr..
Browns suggestion, it is reasonably
sure that the Denver & Rio Grande will
follow the example.
In such an event there would be a
three cornered com bination against the
Union Pacific as the Midland, Denver
& Rio Grande and Western are the
common competitors of the Union Pa
cific under the new relations.
One new change brought about by the
gateway opening is certain to occur
and that is the addition of all the forces
in the offices of the foreign railway
representatives. Every general agent
of outside lines in Salt Lake has asked
their general officers TO appoint more
assistants for this territory. Their idea
is that the city ticket offices will be all
the more probable in the last event.

New York. June at looked for a
time after the opening of the stock
market today as though the looked-for
reaction from the strength of the last
few DAYS had come to pass and the av-

short turns for the market for many
weeks past, under the manipulation of
the professional traders. Prices of
