CIVIC IMPROVEMENT.

There IS every indication with the
advent of spring that Salt Lake is
going to have a record season. not only
in business, but in the development of
q civic spirit which is worth quite as
much as money to the community. In
deed, in a broad sense, no industry or
commercial establishment is worth as
much to a city in dollars and cents
as the harmonious organization of it's
citizens for the betterment of civic
conditions. Factories can be replaced
and commercial pursuits furnished
easily when resources are available as
they are here; but nothing in a city's
life can take the place of civic pride
and community of spirit.
Those disinterested men and women
who have succeeded in forming the nu-
cleus of a great Civic Improvement as
ISOLATION are contributing as much
toward the general welfare as any cap
tain of industry could by investment of
money or the development Of new ter
ritory. Salt Lake has suffered here
tofore for lack Of united effort among
its people; there is no reason why any
public-spirited man or woman should
fail to contribute his share toward the
Improvement of the city in every di-
rection-socialIy. financially, physical
ly. The field is broad and the opportu-
nifty for usefulness unlimited; and with
such associates as the new association
offers, it should be a pleas, re as well
as a duty to get into action.
If you haven't joined the Civic I'm
provement association you ought to
hunt up an application blank or send
IN your name to the association. If
you are already a member, tell your
neighbors about the organization and
get them interested. If you have al
ready done this, ask some of the COM
rnittees of the association to outline
work for you. There ought to be at
least 5000 members enrolled before the
public schools close; and they ought TO
have the active cooperation of every
man, woman and child in the city.
The first step in the realization of the
associations plan will be a civic
house-cleaning that will make Salt
Lake as pretty summer fower-gar-
den and as sanitary as a hospital sur
gical ward. That means the removal
of all Unsightly accommodations from
streets and yards. the tidying up of
empty lots. the Applicant of a lot OF
paint and whitewash, a sort OF general
campaign such as hits any good house
keepers esta blishment when she begins
To get the housekeeping fever. 1t
means a good deal Of work. the expen-
diture OF a little money and possibly
some annoyance, but it is worth the
time and effort.
Every resident knows this ought to
be one of the cleanest, most beauti-
full cities in the country. We all say
so and believe it; now it is time TO get
out and make the belief a verify.
There's nothing like working your own
miracles and Salt Lake can work the
miracle of cleanliness with the great
est of ease if those who are interested
in the programme will get down to
business. Moreover, the cordial well
come accorded the new movement
shows that the people are ready to get
together in earnest and make the
movement a success.

bubble AND SQUEAK

A man never discovers how many
virtues he has till he has wife to
share them
Your orthodox person Of every con-
ceivable stripe can never realize that
man has as much inalienable right
to his thoughts as to his arms and
legs.
The thought Of the idler outlasts all
the works of busy-ness.

There is something more poetic about
these we knew than those we know.

1t is not what a man says but what
he looks with women.

A man may have the contents of a
library at his finger tips and yet never
great danger for some of the compar-
alive critics. They think only in the
thoughts of others, and where reading
robs one Of ones mental integrity it
becomes pernicious.
If one strives to state absolute truth.
then one( cannot escape a certain air
Of paradox, for truth has as many as
poets as lying; each shines through
all statutes and institutions, and each
possesses many facets.
The old saying that there is nothing
new under the sun gives much latitude
to dullness and plagiarists.

ENTERTAIN DEUEGAsE ES.
M. Anderson Explains Some of Plans to Secretary Page.

l. 7. Anderson, reaf ntatlVe in the last legislature from Garland ceunty, was in Litti" Rock recently tG arrange with Secsetlry |''n II. Page for the entertainment of delc- gates to the Democratic state con- yention, which will De held in Hot Springs June !. Mir. Anderson says arrangements have already been mad" that will insure the delegates will be royalty entertained. Special rates have Teen secured al all the hotels, special railroad rates have been secured, and the Committee on Arrangements has ,anncd for d large attendance of peo- rle other than the delegates to the convention.
 One of the plans for entertainment which will no doubt prey" one pf the most enjoyable features is q dance to l4e given at OaklaWn the evening Nf June ,. The dance will be given in the open space near the erandstand. This space is large enough t1 aceomo date several hundred couples at the same time. Special music will be ar ranged for the occasion.
 Other plans for the entertainment of delegates and others who atsend the convention will 11e completed within a short time. The new Garland county court house will probably be thrown open on that day fer the Hrst tinc. If it can be completed in time for this it is probable rec .psion com laittec will receive the del gates and others in this building at some time curing the day or the day before. Other features will be provided in the way of amusement and Mr. Anderson says no man will have reason to feel sorry he attended the convention if the entertainment afforded will in duce him to be present.

and such displacements as arose would largely follow them.
 In connection with this it is worth while to note the relationship of these principles to local engineering works. In many cases no amount of care can avoid the possible danger of locating permanent works upon or across the known fault lines. Such cases are the Hudson river tunnels They cross the fault line. but there is no way to avoid it.
 In others, however. as for example, the new Croton dam for the city wa ter supply the case is equally clear and seemingly less defensibla The dam is placed upon an old fault follow ing the Croton at that point That the weak zone is still a reality was shown by the considerable trouble experienced in securing satisfactory foundations for the dam at one spot If by any chance, future quaking should be more severe than the very insignificant ones recorded for New York-sufficient to cause real dis. piacements-it might be expected that this very important structure would be among the first to suffer serious damage. It would seem as though a more stable spot for the dam would have been desirable
 On the whole. however. this region is not a dangerous one. Its activities Of this kind are of ancient time. and, so far as the best information along these lines can go there is no appar ent cause for alarm
