| of the Jubilee parades was the Union
Pacific engine and car. The engine
was made a model Of the Overland's
1900 class of passenger. engines, and
the car attached to it was made a fac
smile of the fast mail cars which are
/ operated between Council Bluffs and
San Francisco. This engine and car
was made by the Union Pacific at the
| Omaha shops of that company three
years ago. and they first appeared in
| the Ak Sar Ben parades in Omaha dur
ing the week of the Nebraska state
fair in that year. Thomas McGovern,
who is an assistant to General Master
Mechanic Mcconnell, officiated in the
capacity of conductor; George Ever.
of Grand Island. engineer, and James
Seavey of Omaha fireman. Mr.. Nc

peared. Mr.. Evert is a pioneer en-
ployee of the Union Pacific, and is the
first man who ever ran an engine on

left the city last night by both the
Short Line and the Rio Grande West

trains each after II p. M, for the ac-
commodation. of those who wished to
reach their homes with as little delay
as possible. e q
Although such an immense throng. of
visitors were in the city the past four
or five days, everybody was well taken
care of. The general public responded
freely to the call of the commission,
and threw open their residences to Wis
itors, so that sleeping accommodations
sufficient were found for all.
The four thousand electric lights
which Illuminated Main street during
the Jubilee week We're arranged by the
Salt Lake & Ogden Gas & Electric
Light company. That concern certain
~ should feel proud of the success
that was accomplished; and it deserves
the praise of the public in general for
the magnifcence of the display that
would cause an average fastener TO
stand and look upon the spectacle of
glittering Egllts with perfect amaze
Ment and wonder TO" once where the
wild and woody vest is located. When
the contract for the Nominations was
awarded to this company there re-
manned only eleven working days prior
to the beginning of the Jubilee cele-
bration. Manager R. T. Hayward took
charge of the work personally and went
TO work with a determination to have
everything in readiness by last Mon !
day night. A large force of extra men
We're employed and between 800 and 400
lights were put in each day to say
nothing of the extra work of stringing |
the wires and making all necessary
electrical connections. The company |
is furnished with power from Cotton
wood canyon, where the waters of that !
mountain pass take the place of steam. I,
1t was prepared to meet any emer- !
gency, however, and four of the larg- !
est engines in-the old power house were
fired up, aggregating a combined horse |
power of 500 This was done that in the |
event something should happen to the |
water power il could be supplanted by |
steam at q moments notice. This made |
il absolutely certain that the city |
would at no time be left in darkness. /
During the week the light company
had three men employed whose only |
duties were to walk The streets and !
keep their eyes open for any breaks.
The lights were tested at noon and at !
5 O'Clock each afternoon. Altogether
the company furnished over 1000 extra
lights during the week and it did so
without a single mishap of any kind. |

relics will be lighted for a period of 80 |
