Arrangements Made for the Fourth
OF July Celebration.
The General Committee on the
Fourth of July celebration held
meeting last night to consider re-
ports of the sub committees.
From the Finance Committee
treasurer Andrew Brown reported
progress.
From the Committee on Bands,
Parades and Salutes, Major Nc
Leod reported that the parade

for decorating than last year.
From the Sports Committee
Major Jones reported the program
already published.
From the Committee on Decor.
alton of the Executive Building
Captain Coyne reported that the

From the Committee on Fire
works j. A. Kennedy reported
that the display will be made in
the harbor from point equi-dis
tsnt from the can buoy, Brewers
wharf and the present moorings
of the U. s. s. Philadelphia. The
committee will expend more than
twice as much money as last year.
inducements will be offered for
the illumination of boats, and
something in the way of water
carnival will be one of the feat
ures. In this a great deal of help
will be looked for from the men
of the Philadelphia, who have had
experience at the water carnival
in San Diego, Gal.
W. II. Hogs was elected grand
Marshal of the parade with powe,
to select his aides. The right tc

ment of VIM. Callow as teacher at
Waialua. Referred to the Com
mittee on Teachers.
An application from w. E.
Thompson of Dayton, Ohio, for q
position under the department
was referred to the same commit
tee.
Minister Cooper said he had re-
ceived visit from Mr.. Lightfoot,
principal of the Night School,
asking for the privilege of start
ing separate class to prepare ad-
vanced scholars for the coming
examinations. There would be
no expense connected with the
class, which simply involved extra
work for Mr.. Lightfoot without
extra pay.
Mr.. Bowen asked if this might
not be termed a "cramming" class.
He was opposed to "cramming"
on general principles, especially
in teachers, examinations.
Mr.. Cooper said as he under
stood it the proposed class would
consist mainly of teachers who
were little rusty in some of their
studies and desired to go over
them again with MIR. Lightfoot's
assistance. They had no time in
the day to do this.
Professor Alexander thought it
would really be establishing
Normal class in a night school,
which was contrary to it's purpose.
Mrs. Dillingham; wanted to
know what the Summer school
was for, If it was not to fit Just
such q case as this.
The matter was finally left to
the Minister'S discretion.
Mrs. Hendry, assistant teacher
of the Practise school, put in an
application for increase of salary,
basing her claim on the arduous
nature of her work. Armstrong
Smith also applied for a raise,
basing his application on the
statement that he had $50 pupils
in attendance at the Fort Street
school. 1t was decided that
nothing could be done until the
new classification of salaries was
adopted. Under this Minister
Cooper thought both applicants
would receive q raise on account
of their length of service under
the department.
| Minister Cooper said the govern
ment was DESTROYS of building q
courthouse at Koloa, Kauai. There
was vacant school lot there on
which the government wanted to
build the courthouse, giving in
exchange q lot equally as good for
the school. Minister Cooper was
given the power to act in the mat
ter rs he saw fit.
| Miss Sarah Harker's application
for school was referred to the
Teachers Committee and the
Board adjourned.

THE FoURTH OF JULY.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-I notice
the Committee on the Fourth of
July seems to be in doubt as to
whether the celebration should be
held on Saturday, July 3,
or Monday, July s. There should
be no doubt or even discussion on
the matter.
In the United States when the
Fourth of July falls on Sunday it
has always been celebrated on the
Monday following. Is there any
reason why the Republic of Ha-
waii should follow any different
course and necessitate two cele-
brations, one on Saturday and one
on Monday
The American celebration will
surely be held on the day it is
kept in the United States, that is
on Monday, July s, and l under
stand it is already decided to have
the ball on the evening of that day,
80 that the dancing will not run
into Sunday.
Let the matter be settled in
favor of the workingmsn and &C.
cording to time honored custom
in the United States, not accord
ing to the views of few employ
ers who object to the celebration on
Monday because their employees
will get a full days holiday in
addition to the usual half holiday
on Saturday. A WORKER.

Reasons why

There are two reasons why
people are now paying car fare
all the way from Waikiki to the
Palama Grocery and back. Reason
l. 1t is the only place on the
Islands where the celebrated Sal
walton Army tea is sold. Reason
2. After paying car fare both
ways patrons find they are money
in pocket by dealing at this "liye
and let live" establishment. We
also deliver goods between Dia-
mond Head and MOanslua free.

ern also has branch from Springville
to Eureka, which was recently con-
Structed.
Although the Rio Grande Western has
less mileage than the Short Line, it is

city. G. w. Heintz is chief clerk of
the passenger department.
Recently the Western has been max
ing extensive improvements in the
track between this city and Grand
Junction, and has been adding to it's
equipment. Several new locomotives
and cars have been purchased, and the
system is in elegant shape. A new
route to Park City and other adjacent
towns is in course of construction from
Provo, and when completed will make
the Western a competitor for the ore
trade from that district.
UNION PACIFIC.
A railroad which will ever hold a
close place in the friendship of the peo-
pie of Utah is the old Overland
Route" or the Union Pacific. 1t was it
which connected this state with civil
ization and brought the east within
three days journey Of Salt Lake City.
1t is the great transcontinental line,
and while it has been a political foot
ball for years; has suffered much from
the viciSSitudeS attendant upon the en-
actment of bad policy in connection
with its management, it is evident from
all indications that it has bright flu
ture. 1t has all the facilities for MAX
ing a great road. Its route is the
shortest to the east; its road bed is

UTAETS RAILWAY INTERESTS.
Important Changes and New Projects Affecting the States
Material Interests.

To write of the railroads Of Utah,
and do the subject the justice to which
it is entitled, requires more space than
viii be used IN this article. There are
multifarious facts worthy of serious
consideration which might be used in
an elaborate dissertation, but which
must, of necessity be passed unnoticed
;n a synopsis, such as this is intended
10 be.
Perhaps it will be well, before plung
ing into the details of the subject, to
state that at this writing there are not
enough railroads in Utah fog the trans
action of the business of the state, al
Sthough they are already ample for the
1plupose of serving as a topic of dis
c1Ission. Not that any Of the lines are
deficient in any of the essentials which

benefit community and company alike.

thence to the sea coast of southern

ton viii be given to the railroads
Utah now has.
There are nine lines in this state, part
of which have trackage entirely within
its borders. They are the Oregon Short
Line, the Rio Grande Western, the
Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the
Utah Central, the Sanpete Valley, the
Salt Lake & Ogden, the Salt Lake 6,
Mercur and the Salt Lake & Los
Angeles.
To ascribe degrees of Importance to
any one of these would be to create
jealousy in the minds of those who
manage affairs. Railroad men are, or
affect to be at least the most "touchy''
people in existence. Say word in
favor of z rival line, without making a
similar assertion concerning the other,
and there follows accusations of
favoritism so thick and fast that the
hapless newspaper man can do moth
ing but dodge and think himself lucky
that he has the privilege.
OREGON SHORT LINE.
Owing to the fact that the central
offices are here; that this city is the
base of operations: that it's lines con-
meet us with territory tributary to this
city and state, the Oregon Short Line
is perhaps the most popular line It's
1.424 miles of track connect us with
the great states of Idaho and Montana
on the north; southern Idaho and
Washington and Oregon on the north
west. 1t has line which brings west
ern Wyoming to our doors. while its
southern line and connections with the
Sanpete Valley open up our own terri

had done in the past. Contrary to all
expectations on the part of those who
thought they knew it all,s the Short
Lines first important movement was
to declare the Ogden gateway open to
all Corners. This announcement created
a storm, but the Short Line manage
ment calmly watched the clouds roll
by and new ones follow, and harvested
business right along, while the West
ern peoples smiles broadened as the
days flew apace
Later still the Union Pacific got into
trouble with the o. r. &S N, the west
ern connection of the Short Line, on
the matter of divisions. 1t cancelled
all traffic arrangements with them.
Then it followed by withdrawing all
traffic agreements with the Short Line.
What object the Union Pacific had in
this movement will never be known,
but the Short Line continued to do
business at the same old stand and
kept its clerks busy all the time and
working extra hours to keep up with
the procession. After adhering to this
policy long enough to see it was get
ting the worst of it, the Union Pacific
finally withdrew from it's position, re-
stored traffic agreements and every
thing is now running smoothly.
The officials of the road are:
Samuel Carr president, Boston,
Mass; w. H. Bancroft, vice president
and general manager; G. K Smith,
chief clerk; S. W. Eccles, general traf-
fic manager; ]. A. Reeves, chief clerk;
H. o. Wilson, assistant chief clerk; e.
E. Calvin general superintendent and
superintendent of telegraph; C. H. Jen-

passenger and ticket agent; D. s. Spen-
Ger, chief clerk; F. w. Hill, auditor; j

souri, Pacific and other lines a trans
continental route, which is a strong
competitor of the Union Pacific.
Since the opening of the Ogden gate
way by the Short Line this road has
done a splendid business. In the year
1892 the volume of traffic in all depart
ments was at it's apex. Since that
time trade has steadily declined, and
not until this year has the business of
the road increased to a figure higher
than that year. Of course this is due
to the increased business given by the
Short Line and connections. In hand
ling cattle especially the road has been
taxed to it's utmost to perform all re-
quired, but has done it to the satisfac-
ton of the public. The Western opens
up some of the best territory in Utah.
AT its eastern terminus it traverSes a
fruit regian second to none in the
world 1t penetrates the coal regions
of Castle Gate and at Pleasant Valley,
and in every branch reaches out for
trade in a very good section of he
state.
The general offices are in this city.
The officers of the Western are w. J.
