AT WAsATCH.

Wasatch July 14-This week at
Wasatch has been one Of real rest. Few
parties have been given and no dancing
has been INDUCED in, though there was
a merry hop here last Saturday night
IL was participated In by almost every
one In the camp and was, all things
considered. a very pleasant affair. The
prime mover In dances here has. for
years past. been Mr.. Russell L. Tracy
OF Salt Lake, who will go down in his
pockets for music money, foregO any
other engagement he has on hand or
doing anything necessary 20 arrange
for one OF the mountain balls that has
helped 10 make Wasatch so popular.
Mr. Tracy however, IL not here this
week he and his wife having returned
home, and the latter having reluctantly
gone East to spend the summer. The
ball here Saturday night was a novel
one indeed the music being the first OF
the Kind ever heard here. Ii was pro.
duced by Mr.. John Sllver's grapa-
phone, which was placed on an i'm,
proyised platform In the west end Of the
hall While this wonderful instru.
ment did not MI the bill as well az
Christensens orchestra would have
done, II nevertheless sufiiced for the
occasion, and gave young. mlddleaged
ana old an opportunity 10 trip the light
fantastic until about midnight. The
dancing hall, which was just finished
Tor this season, Is a large and very
creditable structure.
Another dancing party Is scheduled
for tonight music 20 be furnished by
an orchestra from Sandy.
Fishing continues good and the camp
Is Wei supplied with toothsome trout.
Ih1lNldual llshermen and women, too a.

deriuily good catches are made, con-
slderlng the fact that the business is
kept up necessarily.

by Mr. silver Of Salt Lake and almost
