Christmas" perhaps on a more elabo-
rate scale than ever. They have the
means with which to crafty their de-
sIres for Christmas giving, and the
large and wen assorted stocks OF
Christmas goods offered by Salt Lake
merchants make their selection OF holt
day gifts an easy one.
We repeat the advice given previous
ly, do not delay buying TN the last day.
Make your selections as early as prac-
teal In order that clerks and delivery
boys may not be- oyerworked and fnd
themselves unable 10 enjoy the holt
day. Also, do not forget the worthy
poor Those who are most worthy may
not appear In the public prints. for sem
sational purposes; they must be looked
up, ard their wants attended to. We
have charitable institutions dstrlbut-
Ing the gifts OF kind men and women,
and they should be sustained, for the
officers OF such Institutions know more
about the worthy poor than private
citizens, as a rule, do. The Bishops OF
the wards should also be sustained In
order that they may be In position to
fulhl, literally, their duties to-
ward the poor. But, In addi-
ton, those who have this worlds goods
should not believe that they have done
their full share, when they have paid
their taxes and given their donations
for the poor. They may know Of some
worthy family less fortunate In nate
rial things. and they should not shrink
from the personal society OF such. To
visit orphans and widows, TO bring per-
sonal comfort 10 those that suffer, is a
more blessed work than to pay dona-
tons and then forget the existence Of
brothers and sisters OF the human fam
lily who need love and sympathy lust
as much as charity.
We have an idea that the increasing
Christmas business will bring ever In
ereasing throngs from the outlying dis
tricts of the city to the business center.
and that the difficulties OF handling the
passenger traffic satisfactorily by the
street cars will increase In proportion.
lmpatience at "the wretched car ser.
vice Is very generally manifested
whenever something Is the matter with
the cars. Do not mar the Joy of the
season by unnecessary criticism of the
street car service. The managers of
this service have given the public as
good facilities as possible under the
conditions prevailing here, and they
VIII continue to do so. Business here
mas developed at tremendous rate
me resources of the company have
oeeh taxed to the utmost, and IL Ia
rather matter OF congratulation that
the eity's car service is as satisfactory
as IL Is. Without able management. a
dlnerent condition would have exist.
ed A little patience and forbearance
on the part OF the public during the
busy season Of Christmas shopping. win
materially aid In the enjoyment Of a
Merry Christmas.

United States Consular Reports.
Prince Adolphus Frederick OF Meek
lenburg- Schwerin, In q lecture at Ber-
lin, gave an account of journey in
East and Equatorial Africa. and re-
ferred to his experiences OF the lIgan-
da Railway and OF British trade on the
Victoria Nyanza. He said that when
he had first travelled by the Uganda
railway in 1902 the only settlers In
the neighborhood of the stations were
a few railway employees. Last year
there were no fewer than 500 white
and Indian settlers along the line,
and fresh applications for land were
being daily received. Traffic on Lake
Victoria had, in consequence of the
railway service, developed to such an
extent that the two English lake
steamers of 500 tons each had proved
unable to cope with II. A British
steamer OF 1000 tons was now be-
ing built IN order to convey goods
TO and from the railway terminus. He
stated that the example OF the Eng
llsh and their success on Lake VIC
torla ought to encourage the Germans
to anticipate their rivals on Lake
Nyassa by Fastening on the construc-
ton OF the projected railway from
Lake Nyassa to Kilwa on the German
East African coast.
