The prospectus for a new monthly called
the Improvement Era is out. The first
number is scheduled 10 see the light on
Nov. l and the publicatio will be the
organ of the Young Mems Mutual I'm
provenvglt associations of the Lau-er-day
Saints, issued under the direction of the
general Superintendency. Joseph T. Smith

topics of general interest.
a movement is on foot to establish a
rowing club on the lake with Saitair
Beach as headquarters. When Lake Park
was in its glory as a bathing resort
very good club was in existence, but ii
broke up and in latter years nothing of
the Sind has existed here. Some OF the
members of the old club are interesting
themselves in the proposition 10 form a
new club and as at least eight good boats
can be secured at once there is a good
neucleus TO begin with The Satair man
agement will help on the laudable scheme,
and Il now looks as if a considerable
hotilla of we'll manned row boats would
be seen on the lake.
The annual encampment of the Utah
National Guard will begin on Sept. and
end on the 11th. thus giving the boys
in blue five days of life in a strict mill
tary camp. Every company in the state
will participate and the appropriation
made by the legislature is heavy enough
to pay all the expenses of the encamD
ment and to give each soldier the per
diem allowed by law. The camp ground
has not yet been selected, but its location
will be announced not later than tomor-
row. 1t is probable that land N the
Cottonwood country will be selected. Adj
jutant General Cannon will pay that
section a visit of inspection today and if
the description he has received of it is
verified by him there is little doubt but
that the Cottonwood country will be Sc
lected. The other places mentioned and
recommended by Brigadier General Young
Liberty park. Agricultural park and the
hay fields near Farmington-are not con-
sidered seriously. as they are too near the
city. The idea is to keep the boys away
from the communicating influences which
abound in and near the city, and to give
them a diet of strict military discipline.
Adjutant General Cannon will issue the
official order for the encamDment to-
morrow.
