ALONG rHE COAST.

This is E. pretty small world after all.
Take a trip from Salt Lake to Portland
down to San Francisco. still on down to
the Mexican line via Los Angeles and re-
turn to Frisco via Fresno and come home
over the Central Pacific and this thought
is impressed on you.
At Baker City, although our stop was
a short one, we met John c. Young and
his brother VIII, who are likely to be-
come wealthy very soon through their
mines.
And then up in the Blue mountains
somewhere, we ran across Phil. the e-st-
while chef at the Vienna cafe. Phil is now
chef at the great Z. & E.. one of the
richest mines in the state Of Oregon.

At Portland We discovered Jack Bell.
who represents a paper company, and
Fred Dennis. who is conducting a cris-
petite establishment.
Going down the Shasta route in Cali
fornia, we stepped off the train al
Yreka, only to pump into Ben Ccnklin,
who is mining up there
And San Francisco-well, the town is
full of Salt Lakers. Mr.. and Mrs. Z.
Cummings and their daughter reside
on Market street and is making money.
His brother Frank is in a bank in the
Call building. John Shipp of Wasatka
fame represents an eastern glass house
and is happy and prospecting.
VIII Clawson. who is on the Call staff,
IS in the front rank of portrait painters.
E.. J. Smith. at one time with the Tri-
bune. is a familiar figure on the streets
and has lumber TO sell.
Mr.. Ames. the inventor of the filter.
he soon IN Market street any time
with that cane loaded down with samples
of his devices for purifying water.
Ferdinand PORTER, the French landry
man. waves a salute to any Salt Laker
who may stroll up Suffer street.
Howard Trumbo, an honor man from
Stanford university, now a full-fledged
Californian. is pretty sure to be seen
about the courts. He is, perhaps. the
brightest of the young lawyers of Frisco
and has made brilliant record recently
routing William Delmas in big
dredging case. How completely he has be-
come Caiifornianized may be judged from
The fact that he Is considered an au-
thority on all matters pertaining to
dredges or dredging, and is becoming
rich from the practice of his profession.
And then the theatres. They are of
particular interest to a Salt Laker. At
San Diego we had the pleasure of seeing
Harry Carson Clarke break the record at
the opera house. He played Jones" to
an immense audience. and was compli-
Tnented by u. S. Grant, Jesse Grant and
the big guns Of southern California. He
has a strong company and will visit Salt
Lake in January, playing for a week.
Tarry's beautiful wife travels with him,
and she is delighted with his success in
southern California
@ @ o
IN in Frisco. we heard Nat Brigham.
announced on the bills as America s
ballad tenor" sing a the Alhambra. He
made great hit there and was encored
every night until he was unable TO
respond to the recalls. After the one
weeks successful engagement in Frisco.
he dropned out of sight. much to the
regret of the patrons of the house.

We witnessed the opening performance
OF the Frawley company al the Baldwin
in An Enemy to the King" and il
was rather a sad affair. Through an ac-
cident. the company lost its leading lady
and Blanche Bates was borrowed from
her New York manager to fill the
vacancy. Then at the last moment the
leading man went on a bender and Tim
had to jump into the role. He did the best
be could. no douBt, and the best was
pretty bad. But to Tins credit be IL
said, that he knew it and told the audi
ence so when there was a curtain call
The Frisco theatre-goers like Fra4yley
though, and stood right by him until the
