LATE LOCALS.

There is vigorous call for water
in the Nineteenth ward, where vegeta-
tion Is in pretty hard shape from the
drouth.
Utah cherries are on the local mar
ket In large quantities, and retailing
at 10 cents.
Travelling men handling bank sta
tlonery report trade as remarkably
good, and consider the outlook ar high
ly promising.
Rapid progress is being made in put
ting up the front Of the new u. C. NJ.

The waterworks department will
commence a crusade against persons
who waste city water tonight. and
wherever the water Is found to be
wasted II viii be turned off and the
offender subjected to fine OF $50 and
the water VIII remain cut OF until such
fine Is paid. Supt. Hines stated today
that six places were found last night
where the nozzle had been taken of
the hose and the water allowed to run
on the lawn for several hours, thereby
causing a considerable waste. Such
practices must be stopped, and Il is
with that intention that the crusade Is
started,
Mayor Thompson today approved the
appointment OF BENJAMIN u. Slegfus as
a member tof the police force and the
appointment Of John T. Berry as a

MAY GO TO PERU.
Gen. Supt. Calvin offered Gen. Man
agersbip of Peru Road.

When u. h. Calvin. general superin-
tendent Of the Oregon Short Line, went
back TO New York three months ago
IN big hurry there was pronounced
rumor on the street 10 the effect that
he had gone there for the purpose OF
considering a proposition from A. w.
McCune and his associates who had
rendered him the general managershlp
Of the railroad that Is to be built to the
Peruvian copper mines acquired 4 Mr..
McCune, j. p. Haggn and others. This
rumor has been revived again by the
publication this morning OF story to
the effect that the position had been
accepted by Mr.. Calvin.
When seen this morning Mr.. Calvin
admitted that he had been offered the
position. He said: AS have not yet
accepted the offer Il would not be I'm
order to say anything about H." MIR.
Calvin further added that when he did
reach a conclusion he would have no
objections to having It fNbllshed, but
as yet he had nothing 10 say.
Should he decide 10 leave Utah for
Peru the west would lose one Of its
most efficient railroad officials and
sincere regrets In every department Of
the Oregon Short Line as well as In
social circles would follow,
Mr.. Calvin has been connected with
the Hartman and Gould systems for
number OF years and has the record
OF having never made a mistake. From
the fact that he has had so much ex-
perlence IN mountain railrOadmg and
has been 80 successful. Mr.. McCune has
been after him FOR some time past The
fact that Mr.. Calvin has been offered
a decided advance In salary in the new
position Is possibly the only consola
ton TO his many friends In this and
contiguous states who would be sorry
70 see him leave the west.

NO LONGER AN ELK.
Ex.Councllman Robertson to be Drop
ped from Order at His Own Request

In all probability, at the first meeting
OF the local lodge Of Elks held In this
city the resignation of Alexander a.
Robertson will be read and accepted.
Before donning the garb that will
henceforth stamp him as q prisoner Of
the state, Robertson drafted a letter
to the lodge resigning his membership
Of the same.
IL will be remembered that soon after
his arrest, his brother Elks were the
first to make an effort TO have him re-
leased on bonds and secure the same
for him. but when Ii became known
for an absolute certainty that
Robertson was guilty the matter
was dropped 10 was understood that
Robertson knew fun well that action
would be taken by the lodge to expel
him from the order, and rather than
suffer this new humiliation he quickly
tendrred his resignation.
The laws Of the Il. Z. O. Il. make Il
impossible for a person who has ever
been convicted OF felony to obtain
membership in the order, and Of course
any member who commits n felony
must necessarily be expelled.

IL Was Awful.

The engineer on the last train IN
from Lagoon stands IN dire jeopardy OF
his life, II all the threats that were
preathed against him last night are 10
be taken seriously About II o'clock
last night he succeeded in waking up
all the babies and dogs In the combined
Twenty-second, Nineteenth, Seven
teenth and Sixteenth wards, and for
half an nour after they refused to be
comf0rted. The subsequent language
used by some OF the residents In the
vicinity was distinctly harsh. The en-
glneer jerked the cord In his usual de-
bonnalr manner at Fifth North and
then the trouble began For FIVE long
blocks that engine went squealing like
"a stuck pig The crew climbed out and
assaulted the whistle with monkey
Wrenches and other tools, but II refused
30 be- nut into a trance. After the train
was brought TO standstill the awful
caterwalling continued until finally 1t
lied down from want Of steam. Then
the fremen who had jumped to their
posts at the west side department
climbed into their little cots and Cen
raj took a rest after saying for the
10th time mo fire" The engineer
solemnly promised this morning, un-
der pain Of a vigilance committee Of
residents on Third West resorting to
drastic measures that he would hence
iorth carry a gag along.

Rio Grande Men Looking Into the

Vice President and General Manager
Russell Harding OF the Missouri Pacl-
fic and Rio Grande systems, accom-
panied by Manager Herbert, Chief En-
gineer Yard and Traffic Manager
Hughes of the Rio Grande, arrived from
Denver this morning. When seen all
gentlemen stated that they were mere

there was nothing startling to be at

Harding stated that there was nothing
in addition to what was told by Mana
ger Herbert In the "News' o week ago
to give out. I'VE wanted to make some
improvements in Salt Lake" he de-
cared, but the people would not let US
do IT," He further said that they would
probably remain In Salt Lake until to-
morrow afternoon, after which an in

The visit of the Gould officials to salt

acquired from the Burlington, as
told In last evenings dis
patches. Other points, especial
ly IN the vicinity Of Park cry
and Provo canyon are also receiving
attention. On the occasion OF pre-
vious visit here II is said that arrange
ments were made for team at PARK
city to take the officials out 10 look
over the country In that direction, but
at the last moment orders were can
cellcd and Mr.. Herbert oontented him
self with examining a pile OF blue
prints of previous surveys made OF the
country through which the Moffat road
will traverse.
But two canyons are left for a new
road into zone of the most unapproach-
able cities Of the west" as prominent
local engineer expressed himself re-
gardlng Salt Lake yesterday, and the
Moffat road will have the choice Of
Hobble Creek. asar Springyille. or En-

very heavy grades for transcontinen-

will strenuously resist any encroach-

While they admired Salt Lake, the

THAT accounts for IT," said Col.
