AN UNLUCkY DAY.

If anything goes wrong with you to-
day there will be a splendid reason FOR
it. This is Friday and the 18th of the
month. If this sentence has thirteen
words in it don't read it before to-
morrow. If you do you will certainly
have bad luck. Friday is an unlucky
day under all circumstances, but when
it is combined with the figure IS, then
be careful. If you see a ladder walk
around it. If you spill any salt don't
fail to throw it over your left shoulder.
Wait until the street car stops before
trying to get on it or off it.
By no means should you inaugurate
any business venture. If a man CT

the money. If you owe $13 to anybody,
be careful not to pay il. We must in
sist on the latter precaution. 1t is
plain common sense. Not only would
you be $13 out. but the other fellow
would have bad luck with the money,
sure. So it would be an act of common
decency TO refuse to pay it. In case
you are a drinking man, don't take 1S

So many men have been hanged on
Friday that i: would be a good idea for
you to be watchfuI against this pus-

approaching you with a rope, give him
a wide berth or say to him in loud,
clear tones, "23." The man may not be
intending to hang you, but on Friday,

WEATHER FOR SALT LAKE
a PARODY ON COMPETITION.

The idea of competition between Pat
Moran and the Barber Asphalt Paving
company is as humorous as the ordi-
nary professional footrace. No matter
which way the race goes, the public is
elected to lose; no matter who gets the
paving contracts. the public is quite
certain it will get the worst of the
deal.
When the bids for paving various
streets were opened on Wednesday it
appeared that Moran and the Barber
people were bidding against each other
CUriOusly enough, the Barber bids were
lower than Moraa's, and the Barber
concern proposed to use Utah asphalt
while Moran specified California as
phalt. which is not genuine asphalt,
but a distilled product which serves
fairly well as a substitute. The beauty
of these bids lies in the fact that the
combination stands to catch the city,
coming or going, and the taxpayer may
have the privilege of selecting his par
ticular method of being soaked" with
the certainty that he will be sick
whichever bidder gets the work
g
the situation has resolved itself down
TO a question as to just how mach the
city Will stand from the contractors.
1t has been understood generally that
Moran was the accredited agent of the
Barber company here working on a
salary and percentage commission of
ali the contracts he secured. In tnak-
ing fake competitive bid, the parent
concern has only followed the tactics
it has pursued all over the country
with great profit to it and more or less
discomfort to those of it's agents whose
methods of getting business got them
into trouble.
Possibly Salt Lake is willing TO stand
for such a game, particularly with the
''reformers" in charge who have so far
handled the city's business as if they
represented Moran personally; but even
the Barber company has found a limit
TO public patience with such perform
ances elsewhere, and is crowding it a
little strong here. When a city's con-
tracing business reaches the STAGE
that bars bids from reputable CON
tractors because they know they stand
no show of getting work, no matter
what their prices, it is time for some
body to investigate the system which
gives a monopoly of the business &c
one concern.
Salt Lake has about reached that
stage. thanks to the benevoIence of the
leaders of the council and board OF
public works, and II beheaves the peo-
pie 10 keep an eye on the game for
their own edifeation and protection
Competitive bids under the present
regime are a roaring farce, a par
ody on the real thing, a self
snap for the favored contractor:
and a disgrace to the administra.
tion which is responsible. The s75.
600 donation party for Moran's ben
eft on the conduit contract was bad
enough, but the having bids are worse
because they are intended to bunco the
people into the belief that they are or
the square.

Norton of the Maine State prison in re-
gard to Calvin Graves. who, on Mon
cay will be a free man. For nearly 10
years Graves has been behind the bars
at Thomaston for the murder of Came
Wardens Mills and Hill
The murder, committed in 1856, was
the sensation Of the state. Graves
made his escape to California, wher"
be was captured the following spring.
He was convicted in April at MachiaS
and sentenced for life, being committed
May IL, 1887. The shooting occurred aS
the result of an alteration oyer a dog
belonging to Graves which the war
dens threatened to kill, and which
Graves claims they did kill.
Graves sentence was Commuted to

hard outside the prison, but as Graves
locked out of the window he seemed to
he deeply moved and said: Outdoors
looks good to me, even if it is storming.
and it is good to think that Monday |
shall be a free man."
Upon being asked his plans for the
future he said: II shall go to Hancock
where L have a farm and begin life
over again. There is Il mineral spring
on the farm and l have made arrange
ments to begin the bottling of water
from that spring as soon us l get home.

Thcmaston and Will accompany Graves
MONDAY to his home in Hancock. There
he will find awaiting him his wife, who
has been true 20 him during all these
years and his crippled son, Edward,
now a young man of 29 years.
While in the prison Graves was en-
ployed in the carriage department.
where he has produced some excellent
work. especially in carving. On visiting
days he has had many callers who
were interested in his case and hoped
for his freedom. Tall, with iron gray
moustache and wearing glasses which
only partially conceal fine pair of
eyes, Graves on the eve of his freedom
impressed one as a man of strong per-
sonality. who in the remaining years
OF his life is destined to achieve sue
cess in whatever he undertakes.
