and, therefore, because OF the findings
the court granted the divorce to Mrs.
Kirk.

Good Work Of the
Commercial Club.

COMMERCIAL clubs are becoming a
distinctive feature all over the west,
land are to be found in all the larger
cities and towns. They are superoeding
chambers OF commerce and boards OF
trade and invariably thrive where tho
others failed. In fact, they actually do
what chambers of commerce and
boards OF trade were Intended TO do, but
didn't. They really possess every fea-
ture possessed by the organizations
they have supplanted with the social
feature added, and II seems that this
feature gives them life and vigor and
makes them thrive.
The necessity for a commercial club IN
salt Lake was felt for long time aad

took 1t upon himself to address 100 bus
mess men Of salt Lake, asking them to

son at the head 10 draft a constitution
