years" said Mr.. Gibbs, ''have made a
big change in Toronto. The old union
depot has been torn down and d fine
new building has taken it's place. To-
rOntO has taken on new life since the
boom and the population has increased
from $50. 000 to $4,000. Many fine new
stores have been built on Young and
King streets and the residence portion
Of the city is spreading out in the east
ern suburbs. Spadina avenue and
Brock street and Wellington square are
practically deserted as residence loca-
tons and will before long be in the
business part Of the city. Quebec
seems to be the only city in the Do
minion that is going back, and that is
due to its large majority Of French
residents. The war in South Africa
has knit the colonistS closer to the
mother country, and the day seems to
be very remote when the Canadians
will ask for annexation to the United
States or seek independence"
+. n. Wilson, q representative of a
Portland (Ore.) drug house, is at the
Walker House. Il had a thrilling ex-
peTience on the Oregon Short Line
coming to Salt Lake" said he. The
train was considerably behind time
Saturday evening and the engineer was
bent on making up for lost time. En-
CINE No. 400 was attached to the train,
which is said to be the fastest engine
belonging to the company. Between
Downey and Cache Junction are two
sharp curves. We struck them at a
sixty-miIe- an hour gait, and four of
us who were playing a game Of whist
were thrown all over each other. The
men on the inside were thrown across
the aisle onto the people on the oppo-
site side of the car. Even old-timers,
men who had been on the road the
greater part of their lives, were scared.
got up and pulled the bell rope for
the conductor. l wanted to find out
what chance would have if 1 jumped.
From Woods Cross TO Salt Lake. a dis
lance of nine miles, we Travelled in eight
minutes. This is a little faster than 1
care to travel over the Oregon Short
Line Next time come over this route
| shall look out for engine No. 400.
r. l.. Whitehead of Mercur is at the
Walker House. I'VE have had pretty
bad time up in our city with this quar-
antine business" said he last night. Il
am happy to say that the quarantine
ends with today. The dancing houses
and gambling halls have been the
worst sufferers. They have been
no political speakers in our city during
the campaign, 50 consequently no votes
have been influenced by the politicians
of either party except in so far as the
voters might be Influenced by newsPa-
per reports. The vote, 1 think. VIII be
very close. 1t would be hard to say
whether Mercur will go for King or
Hammond.
