STUDENTS REDURN|SH "UU''
Toll Up Hill With Buckets of Lime
and Faculty Lends
Hand

The students and faculty of the univer-
sity labored side by side yesterday in re-
modelling and reburnishing the large -'U''
on the hillside near the school. Although
all the students bolted classes, the mem
bers of the faculty took it in good part
and iabored with the students in fixing
up the large letter that has been adopt
ed as the mascot of the school. President
j. 7. Kfngsbury stood in line and passed
buckets in which the lime was carried.
He was pleased to see the letter reburn-
lshed as he realized that the placing of
the u" on the hill has been of the great
est value to the university in advertising
the school, 1t is visible from every part
of the valley, and calls forth comment
from thousands of tourists that pass
through this city every year.
The work of recovering the letter with
lime took the labor of 300 students for
more than four hours. In all, there were
1850 buckets, or about 5000 gallons of lime
placed upon the letter. The earnestness
and school patriotism manifest was the
best ever seen at the university. Several
students who have attended other insti-
tutions expressed themselves as thinking
that the " Is the CIeverest advertising

TO SELL CITY PROPERTY.

FORT DOUGLAS
NOT IN LIST
Report That 81 900, 900 Was
Appropriated for improve
mehtS Declared False.
UTAH DELEGATION FAILS
REMOVAL OF CAPTAIN HAM is
EXPLAINED.

For some time an impression has
prevailed in Salt Lake that an appro-
priation OF $1,OOO,OOO was made for the
Improvement of Fort Douglas, and
surprise has been expressed that this
money was not put to the use for
which it was supposed to have been in
tended. The removal of Captain s. V.
Ham from the post also gave rise to
the belief that the war department was
purpOseIy overlooking Salt Lakes mil
itary post, and had abandoned the
work entirely
Judge Edward F. Colburn, president
of the real estate association, is in re-
ceipt of letter from United States
Senator George Sutherland of Utah,
and one from ngressman Joseph
Howell, which explain the situation
According to these letters, the general
improvements that have been in prog
resS for the last three or four years at
the post have been under the immediate
direction of the QuarternaSter general,
and were not included in the plans of
the general staff. They have been
stopped for the present for the reason
that the money is exhausted. Captain
Ham has completed a term Of four
years in the quartermaSter general s
department and, in accordance with
army regulations, he has been returned
to the line.
In his letter Senator Sutherland
states that "the regular appropriations
heretofore made for the establishment
of new posts and the Improvement of
those now in existence have been dis
tributed in their entirety by the genera
staff. and Fort Douglas has not been
included for any amount whatsoever.
The estimate for a general scheme of
Improvement at Fort Douglas fixed the
amount required at something over
81 100000, but no appropriation to carry
the scheme into execution was ever
made. Not a dollar Of any general ap-
preparation could be applied to i'm
provements at any post not included
in the recommendations of the general
staff, without a special provisO in the
bill; and there has never been any spe-
cial proviso for Fort Douglas.
THE general improvements (which
have been going on at the post s3br the
past three or four years have been I'M
der the immediate direction of the
quartermaster general, and are not in
cluded in the plans of the general
staff"
Senator Sutherland also explains why
the two batteries were recently ordered
transferred from Fort Douglas to Fort
d. A Russell. He writes that longer
ranges for practice shooting are found
al the Wyoming post than at Fort
Douglas.
The letter Of Congressman Howell
y contains practically the same Informal
. ton as that of Senator Sutherland.
Z Mr.. Howell states: Z can assure you
that there is no disposition on the part
of the department to discriminate
against Fort Douglas, but that it will
receive it's full share of attention along
with the other military posts"

Drive Ready in Two Months.

Every effort will be made by the su-
pervising committee, which was appoint
ed this week by the Improvement com
mittee, to have the work far com
pleted by next July as to permit of the
driveway being used by carriages and
other vehicles. The work is to be car
ried on by money raised through popular
subscription, and between IS, 900 and So
600 viii be required to build the boule-
ward.
The drive will be built up City Creek
canyon and thence over the north bench
to POppertOn, where it will connect with
the military road to Fort Douglas. This
will be one of the finest bOulevards in
the country when it is completed and a
magnificent view of Salt Lake City and
the valley can be had from the heights
of north bench. After the construction
work proper is completed more funds
must be raised to beautify the drive but
this work will take some time. The main
object at this time is to build the road
way.
A substantial bridge will be constructed
across City Greek canyon at the expense
of the city.
