turn, will connect with the Wasatch

A travelling drug man remarks that
in Salt Lake there are more large
stocks of drugs and druggists sun
dries than in any city outside Of New
York and Chicago. Salt Lake drug
men, he says, have the drug business
down to fine point and are willing TO
sell tooth brushes and the like at a
price that does not invite department
store competition, as is the case in
many other towns where the drug men
cannot apparently adapt themselves to
the new order of things.

James Hazen Hyde, late of the Equit-
able Life Assurance company and a
central figure in recent scandals in
volving the company, was dropped
from the board of directors of the Tn
ion Pacific Railroad company at the
annual meeting i'm Salt Lake last week
His place was taken by p. A Valen-
tine of Chicago, manager of Armour
d Co.'S grain business. This was the
only change made at the meeting. The
unceremonious dropping of Hyde was
expected, in view Of the bitter war
fare between him and Hartman for
control of the Equitable funds. Hyde
was able to thwart Harriman's plans
in this connection before dropping out
from financial power. AS he had
shown himself bitter enemy and as
he had subsequently been himself
overthrown SO he represented practic-
ally nothing financially, it was taken
as matter of course that he would be
eliminated from Union Pacific affairs
