yesterday was the morning after but
the Los Angelenos showed great stay
( ing qualities, for most of them were up
and off on the $50 train for Bingham.
Monday evenings reception at the
Commercial club was warm one, so
much so that quite a number had not
sufficiently cooled off to make the Bling
ham trip enticing- Among these was
. J. A. Koepfti- He was so proud of his
! speech that when some one told him
/ after midnight that A. B. Cass had said
/ the Grafton was rotten" he decided to
prove it was not. He got A w Skin
neT and bell boy who went TO the
door of Cass room with a bogus tele-
gram. Cass reached for a telegram and
got Koepfli Mounting the table the
president of the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce read his Grafton to Cass,
NJ. H. Newmark, Jake Baruch and Max
Newark. That is the reason none Of
these could get up in time for the Bing-
ham trip.
Speaking of Jake Baruch brings to
mind a sad incident that befell him yes
teTday morning. Secretary GuTley of
the Los Angeles chamber Of commerce
and Baruch have adjoining rooms at
the KnUtsford. Jake slept very sound
ly yesterday morning and did not notice
Gurley come into his room and borrow
an important article of his attire When
GurIey went down to the KnutsfOrd
office, in place of his utterly bald head.
he was adorned with thick tresses of
hair. which he ascribed TO curious bald
headed friends as d result of Salt
Lakes climate. While he was expa-
tiating on the happiness of again hay
ing hair, wan. furtive figure was no
ticed making its way to the dining
room, evidently seeking avoidance OF
recognition. That looks like Jake Ba-
ruch," said A W. Skinner. but, my
heavens! He's baId,''
Poor BaTuch lodged and ran, but not
quickly enough to escape capture. He
had no lucid explanation to give about
his lack Of hair. This is strange" said
Henry Baehr. "Gurley, who was bald
as an egg, comes downstairs just now
with a heavy head of hair. and you.
Jake, who went TO bed last night with
hair that came down to your shoulders.
you show up with two hairs on onSside
and three on the other"
"GuTley?" gasped Jake, "GurIey?
Show the scOUndreI to me and I'll scalp
him." And he did. GuTley had Dor
rowed Jake's wig.
W. G. Whitman, Familiarity known as
Doe" is the man who operates the
"OwT' drug stores in half a dozen cities
in California. Whitman is something
Of a sOciolOgist. and a deep student of
industrial problems If the Commercial
club can get him to make a speech on
labor organizations. he will give them
their moneys worth. He never goes
into a store without looking for the
union" sign.
Councilman Barney HeaIy has estab-
lished a record He came TO Salt Lake
wearing a necktie. 1t has long been
Barney's proud boast that he never
wore a cravat- But that is not his only
claim to greatness. He has the largest
family i'm Los Angeles and down in
the Eighth ward. from which he comes.
he is regarded as Teddy Roosevelt is
nationally
Have you seen General Bob" Wan
skowSki2 He is in command of the
'Weeah" bunch, those fellows who
turned the city upside down yesterday
and got into jail, and out again. This
is the sort Of man the general is. Leo
Youngworth was asked as he left Los
Angeles if he had plenty of money for
the trip
Money I am not taking a cent" he
replied What do I want of money!
General WanskOwski is going with us
This will be understood when it is ex-
planned that the general is a bank pres
ident, and has too much money.

Ed Tufts is the gold champion of Los
Angeles-in his mind. Ed knows a whole
lot of things; he has the largest sport
ing goods esta blishment in Los Angeles,
and can shoot. fish, drive, ride, swim,
sail. drive motor car and all the rest
with the next fellow. but he can't play
golf. and is the only man down there
who is not aware of that fact. Ed es-
tablished a record at the Santa Monica
links some time ago that made him no
torious- He made a drive which went
a quarter of a mile out OF line the ball
landing near a COW which was grazing
The COW munched a mouthful of grass,
and picked the ball up with the fodder
Ed came along and drove the COW over
to the green, and. getting her head over
the hole, he choked her until she kind
~ dropped the bali plumb in the can.
Then he claimed TO have made the hole
in one shot. A hostile critic had watched
the incident and had kept tally on the
number of times Ed had The COW
