Judaism. The present officers are
Charles Loefer, president; Jerome
Hirchman; vice president; VIM. Wat
ters, secretary; Joseph Boehmer, fnan-
cial secretary, and Henry Cohn, monitor.
The lodge at present has eighty members.
During the last year the young men Or
ganized a social club known as the Con-
cordia club.
From the time of their arrival in
Utah the Jews have always taken an act
i've part in the development Of the state
industrial and intellectual welfare. In
the industry Of mining, which is one Of
the states chief sources Of income, they
have been in the van with others. The
commercial activities have seen Jews
among the leading and honored mer-
chants. When Utah was granted the
right Of statehood Jacob Moritz, the pres
ident Of Temple B mai Israel, was
member of the constitutional convention.
Public office was held by Simon Bam-
berger, state senator, and during the
last national campaign chairman of the
Democratic state committee; Harry S.
and representative in the State Legisla-
lure, IluuOlpu AuCulcr, dI pfeSeuI hc-
publican candidate for mayor of Ogden,
and also member in the last State Leg
islature; Herman Bamberger, county
commissioner for Salt Lake City; Louis
Cohn, member Of the City Council; and
Joseph Oberndorfer, member Of the
Board of Education of Salt Lake City.
Besides the Jews in Salt Lake City a
few are located in Ogden, Provo, Price,
Logan, Brigham City. The entire Jew
ish population Of Utah approximates
nearly 1000 people.
Of the pioneer Jewish settlers only
these are now living: Isidore Morris,
Samuel Auerbach, Louis Cohn, Aaron
Greenewald, Ichel Waters. Our pio-
neers are gradually leaving us, but their
work was so well done that there need
be little fear for the cause of Judaism 8
hold and growth in Utah. Those grown
to manhood and womanhood under the
inspiration of their example have been
well tutored to hold fast to Judaism g
undying truths, to shed luster to the
name Of the Jew. The historian of inter-
mountain Jewish activity must reserve
page of promise and realization of good
things for the Jews of Utah.

uted to their efficient foundation work.
Already in the fall Of the year of 1866,
when they had been in Utah but few
years, and sufficient number had been
gotten together, they held religious serv-
ices. These services were conducted in
Salt Lake City, where from the begin
ming OF their settlement in Utah the larg-
est number of Jews has always resided.
In time a congregation was formed,
which has continued to the present time
and which is known as Congregation
B mai Israel. Its officiating ministers
have been j. Kaiser, L. Strauss, Hyman
G. Elkin, Moses P. jacobson, Gustave H.
Lowenstein, Louis G. Reynolds, and the
present incumbent (19O5), Charles j.
Freund The congregation has an i'm
posing synagogue with seating capacity
of 500, and was erected in 1880 at cost
Of more than $4,000. At present there
are 100 members. The officers for the
current year are Jacob Moritz, president;
Henry Cohn, vice president; Samuel
Weitz, secretary treasurer, and Sigmund
Simon, Adolph Jacobs, Harry S. Joseph
and William Graupe, members Of the
board of trustees.
On the 2Oth OF March, 1899, the OrthO-
dox Congregation Montefiore was organ
lied. 1t has occupied it's present struc-
ture since 1908. It has been presided
over by Rabbis J. G. Brody and B. Kap-
Ian. For the following year these are
the officers: President, S. Salmenson;
vice president, G. Rosenblatt; secretary,
B. Salmenson
The Jewish Relief Society, at present
ably presided over by Mrs. I. Waters,
was first organized in 1873, and reorgan-
lied in 1888. The society has done eff
ficient work during all the time it has
been in existence, relieving not only local
cases, but also in past time assisting
many who found their way to Salt Lake
as stopping place between Denver and
California and from the coast eastward.
The society belongs to the National AS
sociation of Jewish Charities.

une, said that the best illustration Of
circumstantial evidence as proof was
in a story he had recently heard.
A young and pretty girl had been

mother said:
"Where have you been, my dear ?"
"Only walking in the park, she re-
piled.

Jake Was Ready.

A representative in Washington
tells this story to illustrate 1.-The stren-
uous life" as it exists in certain parts
of Kentucky:
A well-to-do farmer once invited
an acquaintance from neighboring
town to dine with him. The recipi-
ent of this courtesy was a man well
known In that region for his general
crankiness and his propensity to use
his gun at the least evidence OF what
he considered an afront. The farmer,
well aware of the loneliness Of his
guest, with whom, for business rea-
sons, he desired to remain on good
terms, always kept a wary eye on his
visitor.
One afternoon the testy Individual,
in conversation with his host, re-
marked: II can't account tor the
queer feelings and impulses that come
over me at times. Do you know the
first time took dinner here | had as
much as | could do to master the I'M
pulse, when one OF your sons made a
certain remark, to whip out my gun
and let go.
"Oh, don't you worry about that, "
said the farmer Il know all about
your little failing in that line. My
son Jake was standin in the hallway
Just back Of you with shotgun. You
did well to change your mind. At
the first motion toward your hip pock
ct my son Jake had instructions to
blow daylight through you"

Tramp Got Silver Dollar.

Representative Branch, of the lndi-
ana legislature tells this in the In
dianapolis Star: While attending as
a cadet at the military school Branch
was in the habit OF taking strolls
through the neighb orhoods, and on
one OF these he says: Il was touched
by an old fellow, whose tale of hard
luck would have melted stone.
But my good fellow l said, L
haven't cent with me this morning.
| spent my last penny last night
and my check from home won't reach
me until tomorrow.
The old man wasn't satisfied.
"Look through your pockets, he
begged, maybe you'll find something.
"'Well, if I've got any money in
these clothes you can have every cent

ing my pockets inside out to show
him that | was strapped.
well, would you believe it, sill.
yer dollar dropped out Of one OF my
pockets and rolled on the sidewalk.
Delighted, the old man quickly
grabbed it up and said Thanks
He was much bigger than and
said; Certainly; | am glad can help
you, but really | didn't know it was
there.
"All the way back to school | won-
dered how the dollar came TO be in
