The stories Of war times that can be
recalled by veterans Of the war of the
rebellion are not all stories of victo-
ries of adventures in which shot and
shell play the important roles. Among

NEW SALT LAKE
OFFICE AT RIVERSIDE

The Salt Lake is making arrange
ments to open an up town office in the
Glenwood block, in the north half of
the large corner store room of the
Campbell Curio company.
The furnishings are to be in strict
mission style and will be the finest in
the city. Tables, arm chairs, rocking
chairs, settees and counter are in
witheIed oak, quarter sawed and de-
signed on the massive, beautiful mis-
sion lines. The furniture is entirely
a Riverside product. The Cresmer
manufacturing company did the work,
with the exception of leather uphol-
STEERING, which was done by Robert
Mage. The chairs and settees are
cushioned in black leather, harmon
izing with the design of the furniture
and the interior finish of the room,
and each piece is a model of comfort
and good taste.
The office will be a credit to the
city and another evidence of the pro
gressiveness of the Salt Lake. 1t will
be ready for occupancy by November
1st, in time for the winter tourist bust,

SAND BLOCKS TRACK
AND DELAYS TRAINS.

AND IHAlNS.
The wind which has so pleasantly
dispelled the sultriness of the past
few days has not been without its
drawbacks-so far as the railroads
are concerned. This morning there
had been so much sand blown from
the adjacent vineyards to the railroad
track in the vicinity of Bloomington
that Southern Pacific train No. 16,
the Los Angeles and Redlands train,
came to a standstill in the drift, be-
ing fguratively "in the sand up to
her neck" as one of the railroad men
put it. So deep was the sand on the
track that it took a large crew of sec
tions hands about six hours to clear
the track so that traffic could be re-
sumed. The Salt Lake road was rather
more fortunate, although trouble was
expected on the same score, and
trains have been on slow running or
ders in the neighborhood of Riverside
and Stalder since yesterday, the crews
being instructed to keep a vigilant
lookout for sand drifts. There was a
strong wind and a disagreeable amount
