BRASS BAND
To be Organized by N. O. 7. Co.
Employees.

Supt Il. G. Hansen, of the n. o. T..
Co., has encouraged the street car men
to organize a band, and there is con-
siderable enthusiasm over the matter.
Already 16 men have signified their
intention of becoming members of the
organization and Manager Curie has
promised to buy supply of music.
Supt. Hansen said Monday evening,
",The idea is to increase the sociabil-
ity of the men among themselves.
Their club rooms at the South Main
ST. barns have already become popular
with the men, and in case the band
becomes a success concerts may be Civ
en- regularly for the employees and their
families. In Cleveland, the employees
of the Big Consolidated have band
of 80 pieces"

Great Changes Must
Come Soon.
Present Methods Are Taxed to
the Limit.

s',rhe strenuousness Of railroading in
creases year by year, said a local
railway official Monday "a few years
ago we believed that we were as busy
as it was possible to be, and that any
addition to our duties or the RESPONSE
balities of the business would be impos-
sible. The experience Of the last year,
however. has shown that many things
are possible, which are considered i'm
possibilities. A year ago we thought we

Since then we have been almost twice

to emerge from the busy period anu

at won't be for long, though. In a
few short months the rush will be on
again, worse than ever. ] predict that
the next few years will see more
changes in railroad methods than were
brought about by all the other years
of railway history. This will be made
necessary by the phenomenal growth
of the business.
Railroads today have as many cars
as they can take care of. Power is
provided in proportion, and improve
ments along that line have been made
to the limit. Either more roads will
have to be built or new kinds of cars,
Of triple the carrying power Of those
In use at present, will have to be in
vented"

Tonight.

What is conceded by members to be
one of the most important matters that
the local school board has considered

the Office Of superintendent of build

committee of members who were ap-
pointed some months ago, to help him
in its formulation. The committee re-
ported at great length, and their rec
ommendation had first reading and a
great deal of discussion, and then was
seemingly forgotten, save for the oc-
casional reminders that 1t still hvea,
which came from Mr.. James at var
ious meetings.
The fact that the Board will now go
ahead with the erection of another
Building, has suggested to variouh
members that this is the prCpe-44. l,Sa .

This decision has been arrived az
since the visit OF c. II. Laurence to

Guarantee Bond company OF Detroit,
Mich, and yesterday, after driving
over the proposed ronte, he wired his
house that the proposition was a good
one. Mr., Gibbs reports that everything

Mr.. Laurence Is quoted as saying
that he knew OF no section Of the coun-

such a splendid field for the investor as
does the Salt Lake Ogden proposition.
