road, are at the White House having
come 10 Salt Lake to end their vacation.
Ihey VIII return on Saturday.
We dldnt want TO miss Salt Lake
said Mr.. kItchey yesterday. a vacation
without seeing this City and its surrounds
lnSs would be incomplete. ana after pass
inS. through Denver. Colorado Springs
and Grand Junction we came here.
the LeaVenWorth, Kansas Il Western
IS not large road. being only 1853 miles
long, from Kansas City to MiitonvlIle.
but IL is so situated that from its traffic
we can get very good idea of business
throughout Kansas and adjoining states.
Our principal revenue comes from cattle
and grain. From recent shipments of
cattle it is evident that Kansas is doing
splendid business and our reports indi-
cate that there Will be an immense grain
crop.
There is one distinction which the
Leavenworth, Kansas < Western has. II
was the first read of the great Union Pa
chic system which got out OF the hands
OF receiver after the smaSh-up. 1t was
allied to the Union Pacific through the
Kansas Pacific.
An authority on shoes from Denver,
the people of which city have some repu-
tatiOn as users Of frst-clasS footwear,
declared yesterday that the tan shoe is
doomed L. NJ. Purcell, secretary and
treasurer of the J. p. Dunn Leather com
pany, made this statement yesterday at
the Kenyon.
Few tans are being worn this year by
persons who follow the styles, said he.
The demand runs mostly TO black and
chocolate cOlOred shoes. Next spring and
summer ! don't think there VIII be any
tan shoes worm 1ney have had their
run. The toe which is most in vogue is
a modified bulldog. Some dealers sup
ply the extreme bulldog. but it seems TO
me to be in bad taste and Is not being
worn TO any great extent. This type OF
toe extends TO all kinds of shoes patent
leather and low shoes. as well as the
ordinary shoe For women the coin toe
ana the modified coin toe are the proper
Things. II is noJ necessary any longer Tor
women 10 crowd their feet into shoes
pointed with the sharpness of a tooth
pick. In fact. such style has passed
out entirely.
so far as | have been able TO learn,
the highest priced shoes are not worn in
Salt Lake. The best makes may be kept
here. but not the best grades of them.
I'VE sent but one man to the war in
the Philippines. said ]. Morgan john
son manager of the Coop of Spring
City. yesterday. at the Cullen hotel, but |
Il good many of US are coming TO witness
the celebration for the return of the vol
unteers. Spring City has a man in the
Fourteenth tinted States regulars and
he is over there yet.
as much interest in the return of the vol
unteers as any other city of the state
which has some OF its young men in the
Utah batteries. | think there viii be
about twenty-five Spring City people here.
Most of them will come tomorrow and
some of them VIII remain several days.
Business in Spring city is very good
at this time. No one Is complaining. !
Work has just been started on a very |
fine school house. which viii cost. when 1
$l0,OJ1. II will hold probably /
all the children of The town.
+. II. McNamee. district attorney at De ?
Lamar New, is at the Cullen with his
WIFE having come partly on business and .
partly 10 attend the celebration OF the /
return of the volunteers.
The Nevada governorShip contest Is Z
yet unsettled" said he last evening. The
matter is in the hands of the supreme
decision is reached. There are few per-
sons who believe that any change Will .
be made by the decision. The evidence
didn't show that Governor Sadler was not
entitled to his seat Should he lose. he
must pay all the costs of the contest. IN
addition TO the salary he has received.
