Labor Scarce in West,

There is great scarc.ty of common
labor all over the West, and it threat
ems to become a serious problem next
spring with so many big enterprises
being projected. There is certain to
be a very large amount of railroad
work. Government work will require
thousands, and private capital is be.
ing invested in so many schemes that
the East must contribute heavily or
many great works will be held back.

With tonight's closing of the Or
pheum the season comes to a close.
During the summer the house will be
extensively decorated and when the
| finishing touches are on the Orpheum
will have one of the priettiest audito-
RUINS in the entire west. Manager
Bistes expressed himself as highly
pleased at the generous patronage his
house has received. Opening as it did
in the midst of a season already half
over, the Orpheum could not always
receive satisfactory attractions. The
bookings on the circuit had already
been made without reference to the
local house. Some of these bookings
are made two years in advance. AS
a consequence the local house had to
struggle as best it could. But the IA
vor into which the house instantly
leaped has demonstrated that the Or
pheum idea has taken firm hold in
Salt Lake. Next season the house
will be link in the famous Orpheum
chain-a positive, integral part of the
best vaudeville circuit in America.
That manager Bistes has shown good
faith with the public is demonstrated
by the response which has been made
at the box Office.
| There has never been a night that
that has not seen paying house in the
auditorium-there have been plenty
of matinees and nights when standing
room was at a premium. The Orphe-
UNI is here to stay, and, as merit al
ways wins, the future success of the
house is assured

Popular Jules Bistes of the Orpheum
theatre had a flattering Chicago Of
fer to manage a big summer attrac-
ton in the Windy City. Mr.. Bistes
will leave early next week to assume
his new duties. This does not mean
that Salt Lake is to lose the enter
prising manager, as Mr.. Bistes will be
absent from Zion during the summer
months, returning on the opening of
the State street house. When Mr.
Bistes returns he will bring a satchel
full of vaudeville surprises, and de-
termination to open the Orpheum sea-
son with the best attractions of the
class that Salt Lake has ever seen.

That is the reasan there are so many
good things on the program. Just as

The little tots-God bless them!-
of the Free Kindergarten had their
last Monday night. The entertainment
for their benefit at the Salt Lake thea
ire, was, from every view point, an
unqualified success. A local audito-
rum has rarely held an audience more
numerous in refinement, culture and
dress. Indeed, thought the ladies in
the audience excelled themselves.
Whether some tacit understanding, or
a merely happy coincidence, brought
together SO many creations OF the
toilet, is always the mysterious privil-
eye of adornment. Everywhere the
fair sex was bewilderingly radiant.
Their snowy hats and dainty fiufferies,
whose breeziness, in defiance to the
GOODNESS of the evening, seemed har-
binger of coming summer. The men,
of course, added fashionable touch
to the dressy picture-but, while the
coat does not make the man, / can
not say the same thing of my lady's
shirt waist. However, after all is
said, Ned Royle was the lion of the
hour at Monday nights entertain
ment. Ned Royle's name helped to
conjure that magnificent audience in
to the Salt Lake theatre-this l say
without disparaging the motives o.
charity. But, the man who has thrown
Broadway into a frenzy-the man who
has divided honors with Belasco, the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS certainly an incen-
tive to our best curiosity. l suppose
there were some in the audience who,
like myself had never seen "Tripp's
Troubles" or Captain Impudence."
/ suppose there were some also, who,
like myself again, had not an eye sin
gle to charity alone-may generous
heaven forgive u.s.
In "Tripp's Troubles" l thought
caught glimpses of Royle's immature
ty. In Captain Impudence" l saw
Royle's growing maturity-in both
realized the dramatic stepping stones
by which he reached "The Squaw
Man." that delight of critics and the
despair of imitators Whoever
thought that Ned Royle, in his first
efforts at farce writing, had united
the infective humor of Hoyt and the
constructive skill of Broadhurst,
were mistaken. Genius-playwriting
genius-grows like the century plant
But nobody can witness those two
sketches and not discover the pathetic
seeds whose flower was the fragrant
reward of the future. The playlets,
"Tripps Troubles" and Captain I'm
pudence" were happily cast. From the
amateur standpoint, they-the cast
were stars. Mrs. Charlotte Newman,
as the beginning and end of poor
Trips troubles, amply justified a
woman's suspicious in discovering
strange hosiery concealed under her

Word was brought to this city
Saturday that George Borden was

White Bluffs Monday Nov. II, while
attempting to ferry his wife across
the stream
The couple started to cross about
attempting to escape the rapids an
oar broke and Mr.. Borden was
thrown into the water. He could
not swim and was soon carried un-
der the water by the swift current,
His wife was frantic and used every
effort to rescue her husband. Neigh
bors of the unfortunate man began
an immediate dragging OF the river
in hopes that the body could be re
covered before life was extinct, but
it was noon when it was located and
brought ashore, and resuscitation
was impossible.
Mr. Borden has been the ferryman
at White Bluff for nearly Is years
and has crossed and recrossed the
river hundreds of times. He leaves a
widow and two children. He had been
quite a prominent stockman for
MANY years, until last year he sold
his large band of horses, consisting
of about 1000 head
Since then he has devoted his time
to his ranch and TO his large ferry
