This Is the Estimate of M. L. Kennedy

NJ, L. Kennedy who is representing
Massachusetts, parties. hns been looking
over the ground In this Vicinity with a
view to starting a pulp mill.
Speaking hurriedly to q Tribune re-
porter yesterday. before catching his
train for the East, he said that. although
he had visited several places IN Utah
and Idaho that were well adapted for
the purpose. be had not yet made up
his mind which one to recommend 10 his
principals.
II am well impressed with your couu-
try and its facilities for manufacturing
pulp" he said. and shall certainly make
q generally favorable report.
LAS to Salt Lake. think II is hum
mer. and In my estimation eIcels Denver
in several respects. You have fno
future before you here, and with the
additional railroad facilities which are
coming IN. combined with tho factories
which are bound to locate here after
wards. there is no reason why your city
should not almost double It's population

AMATEUR DOCTOR
TRIES IT ON DOG
Bull Pup With AristOcratic
Ancestrage Gets Worst
Of Experiment.
GIVEN CHL0R0F0RM,
AND NEVER WAKES UP
Surgical Operation for Sore
Foot Is Complete Success,
but Patient Dies.

This is the story Of the demise Of q
Salt Lake dog. The animal was not or
the ordinary breeds, which are yulgarly
referred to as "curs." 1t was a bull
pup and the proud possessor of a fam
lily troe that reached buck to nm Illus
trioua ancestroge in Old England. Its
visage would have made model designs
for buttons for whire vests. Had the
poor thing lived it would have devel-
oped into full-fledged English bull
dog and might have been an attrac-
ton Of the city of no pean merit.
Although it had not reached maturity
1t was the pride Of Its young master g
lifo and was dreaded by the children
of the neighborhood.
That the unfortunate brute sickened
was in no wise due to "dog days" or
any other Imaginative, neurological or
traditional causes. Its foot was caught
under the wheels Of passing vehicle
and severely crushed. The name Of the
deceased was not Moreover, but Rex.

creased and the sympathetic owner
called in consultation au acquaintance
of his class and station who Is a disciple
Of Galen and aspires to become prac-
titioner Of medicine and surgery. The
student is the possessor Of numerous
medical publications and Of number
Of minor surgical instruments. The two
examined the pup and exchanged a
voluminous medical vocabulary over its
suffering When the diagnosis was
completed an operation was decided
upon. A third person was called in to
witness the dog clinic.
Momentous Affair.
It was a momentous affair for both
the amateur doctor and the owner Of
the pup. 1t WINS of still moro import
ance, as subsequent developments
proved, for the dog. The spectator, be.
ing the only disinterested party, acted
as umpire. The dogs part was invol-
untary until it became weary Of the
transaction, and then it took an appeal
WAS used, and it is alleged that that
anaesthctic played an important part.
Pug Given Chloroform.
The pup was fastened to board by
means Of a rope and then given sleep
dope in copious quantities. The chic
roform worked all right, 1t Is working
yet. 1t produced the desired effect Of
stopping the pain. 1t also stopped the
breath Of the poo, pup. Tho injured
was carefully dressed, while the pa
tient peacefully slept. The peace of
sleep remains deeply stamped Oh the
countenance Of poor Rex, while the
owner mourns and the doctor wonders.
FThe operation was a success, but
the patient died. This summary Of re-
suits has been used often when lives
more valuable than that Of dog have
passed away. Still there is something
pathetic in tho death Of even q pet dog.
