Significant improvements.
The Herman lines are now spending
s., 600 900 on their passenger station and
yards in Salt Lake City, in addition TO
their purchase of the street railway ana
lighting system of the city. The Gould
lines are also making Salt Lake their
mountain division, and have purchased
hundreds of acres of land in and adj
joining the city for extensive shops,
yards and station; and are now almost
ready TO commence the erection of their
depot which will doubtless equal that
OF tine Hartman roads.
Nothing, however, is more significant
and gratifying than the fact that Salt
Lake City is attracting more than ever
before, the brave, strong and stalwart
men who have made their fortunes on
the ranches, ranges and mines of Ne
vada, Idaho. Wyoming, Montana, west
efn Colorado and Utah, as is evidenced
by the beautiful homes of Messrs. Nc
Cune, Kearns, Keith, Judge, WooS.
Wall, Weir, Salisbury, Armstrong, and
many others and, by no means least,
Mr. Newhouse whose recent princely
purchase of business property, followed
by the declaration that he would erect
thereon a number of business blocks,
involving the expenditure of millions of
dollars. has given a decided impetus to

Encourage Industry.
| 1t is such evidences of faith and in
terest in Salt Lake City that will soon
make it what nature and its natural
surroundings has intended. Such men
are coming here because Salt Lake City
1 has more natural advantages than
probably any other city in the world.
1t is not only the center of this inter-
mountain empire; it is the mecca OF all
/ tourists: A great educational center.
| '1n conclusion. ] cannot resist say
ing that we must give substantial en-
| Couragement to every industry when
helps 10 develop our inland empire. We
must have better wagon roads, street
and suburban railroads, factories, pack
| ing houses, storage of our irr1gatlng
water now going to waste, storage OF
our fruits and farm products and
above all, filling our fertile valleys, the
| bI eeding and care of animals and mar
| keting of farm crops.
Our mines are taking splendid care
of themselves, and in them may be
found the latest inventions and best
| skill. And with our part performed, L
| believe the railroads will do theirs, as
they have done in opening the way for
the development of our waste places,
and if they do not, and fail TO appre-
ciate the opportunities, our great and
lsenerous nation and people have given
to them. I underestimate the intelli-
ieence of the men who arc guiding their
destinies.
| However. for us tonight. we have
nothing but hope for the future, and
good will TO all

recipe is my own idea and is made as
follows: Soak a teaspoonful of Grape
Nuts in a glass of water for an hour,
strain and serve with the beaten white
of an egg and spoonful of fruit juice

of nourishment that even the weakest
stomach can assimflate without any
distress.

uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders It
many times for his patients

Origin of the Dog.

The ancestry of the dog is a topic
which has been much discussed Of late
at the French Academy in Paris. Nj.
Boule maintains that as far back as
the pliocene period of geology the ca
nine family showed much the same di'
visions as 1t exhibits to-day. There
were the wolf, the fox, and the jackal
tribes and types, and a fossil jaw
taken from pliocene rocks near Puy
shows certain characteristics which
are seen in our own domesticated dogs
of to-day.
Are we to assume. then, that the
dogs of our period represent much
more ancient and original type Of ami
mails than science would have us hith.
erto believe? II fossil evidences are
trustworthy, the dogs of remote an
tiquity, so far from having originated
from the wolf stock, may be regarded
as having possessed a distinct person.

When the buffalo disappeared, it

the fun commenced. The water was
dashed into foam for many feet around

GREAT Loss IN WINDOW qLAss,
The Effect Of San francisco Earth.

The Effect OF San Francisco Earth
quake and Fire on Glass Industry
Because Of the destruction of vast
amount of business structures in San
Francisco and also of the entire re-
serve supply Of window glass in that
city the window glass market OF the
country has assumed new phase and
probably one Of the most unique In its
history.
The demand for window glass has
been on higher level during the last
winter and spring than at any time.
Just when the manufacturers were
preparing to close factories for the
warm weather the San Francisco dis
aster came and wiped out large re-
serve stock of glass and opened Ia
great market in the rehtting Of thous-
ands OF windows in the stricken city.
How to meet that extra demand has
now become a problem.
1t was estimated this week that over
100000 worth Of glass had been de-
stroyed in San Francisco alone. With
what damage has been done In other
cities along the Pacific coast this to-
tai will be much larger.
The American Window Glass Com
pany, 1t is expected, will operate its
machine plants all summer to relieve
the situation. The Belgian manu-
facturers, who always enter the Amer
lean market when prices get above a
certain figure, are said to be casting
about for a chance to send forward q
large amount Of imported glass This
feature may keep down prices,
A meeting Of the window glass job
bers and manufacturers is scheduled
for next Tuesday in New York to talk
over the general situation and decide
some plan mat Will work out satisIac-
torily for the market during the busy
year that seems to be certain to follow,
The reconstruction work at San
Francisco will not Sbe ready for win
dow glass before fall, but it will be
necessary to get the stock in hand be-
fore then. Preference will likely be
given orders from the coast all sum-
mer.-Pittsburg Post.

How He Kept His Promise.

---Ephe story soooJ says Tlt- nAts, that
q certain non-conformist divine noted
p for his smoking powers was sent for by
the Board of Examiners just before his
ordination.
"Mr. F." said one of the board,
'your papers are excellent, but there
Is one thing we object to-"
Mr.. F. asked what it was.
You are addicted to the evil habit
of smoking"
Mr.. F. explained that he saw no evil
In it, but taking large plug from his
pocket, said:
in Difference to your opinion, gen
tlemen, promise you this: AS soon as
] have smoked the plug | hold in my
hand will cease smoking forever"
They were satisfied, and he was or
dained the next day.
Now as he refills his pipe he chuckles
and tells you:

Wind stopped Arteslan Weh.
