thus connecting its West Oakland ter

Tho Chicago papers were warm in
their praise Of Calve, who sang to the
crowded Auditorium on New Years
night, and lavish in their commenda-
ton. The great soprano had never be-
fore appeared IN the Windy City in
concert, although she is one of their
warmest favorltes in opera, and so the
anxiety and interest In her concert de-
but was tremendous. The vast audi
ence grew more and more enthusiasts
tic as the program proceeded and the
famous diva generously gave them en-
core after encore.
Calve and her splendid company Of
FIVE artists will appear here on Friday
evening with the great choir at the
Tabernacle. and the demand for seats
indicates a good audience. They are
on sale at the Clayton Music store.

bust health. It Is said he has conclud-
ed that it would not be we'll for him

this reason he Will pursue the calling

THEY ARE UP AGAINST 1T.
Western Pacific Contractors In Utah
Somewhat Dissatisfied.

According to the statement made this
morning by gentleman who Is in a
position to know what he Is talking
about, there is considerable grief IL,
evidence among the Utah contractors
who have taken sub-contracts on the
Western Pacific mt this end of the pro-
posed line, The trouble appears to be
that the contractors have taken the
work at too low a price and under ex-
istlng conditions they viii lose money.
The gentleman went on to say that
unless SOMETHING was done that It
looked as though there would be a rep
etltion Of incidents when the trunk line
was building across Canada. In that
case the contractors were cut down on
the estimates and eventually some OF
the firms piled up their outfits and
burned them sooner than pay to haul
them out of the country.
