Ye Perambulating Editor.

When now the editor would go
To distant city, to and fro,
He walks
All, happy days, when near and far
He travelled in cushioned car
In state!
He signed his name with easy pride
And scurred Ger the countryside
At will!
But now-Ah, sad the truthful tale
Through mud and sush and roaring gale
He walks
The folks at home looked on in awe
When forth his mileage he would draw
And smile!
They wished they owned paper, too
That they might ride the country through
Scott free
They listened to the tales he told
OF city life and travels bold
And wished
That they might go and see the sights
The tiger and electric lights
He saw
But now they pass him with smile;
He has to pay to ride mle--
Or walk

disappearance could not have been less perplexing
AT the time of this occurrence was at my branch
office in New York city. a telegram giving
count of the robbery and description of the thief
was received by me short time after the affair
occurred Efforts were especially directed to the
confidence men and sneak thieves in New York city.

of every description. There seeking to lose
himself and keep of sight of the officers of the
law might if he discreet be much safer than
at any other point in the United States. The thief,
the defaulter, and the divine all touch elbows
they pass along Broadway, neither one knowing
caring for the destination of the other.
The stolen money could be identified only by its
numbers; hence there was little prospect Of its
recovery. The banks in all the leading cities were
notified to keep a sharp eye on ten-dolar treasury
bearing certain numbers. Government de-

Merriam, livery stable keeper Sth-st.

l arrested Merriam and took him before the [ nited

doubtful if Merriam could be held, as money
supposed to carry earnarkS. Consequently the
case was postponed and the money held evidence
for further examination.

What the Big Sewer. Means.
Few residents of Salt Lake City

er. 1t begins at the intersection of
Ninth North and Eighth West streets.

south on Sixth West to Ninth South;
thence east on Ninth South to the in

the Salt Palace corner. At the outlet
the sewer is circular, and forty inches
in diameter. Here il is constructed Of
concrete in a manner to last for all
time. From the outlet the size of TIE
sewer decreases gradually until at the
SAT- Palace corner it is eighteen inches
in diameter. Here tile is substituted
for concrete. The tile is manufactured
in Salt Lake City. and is supposed to
be as good as can be had anywhere.

James Kennedy general municipal
and railway contractor. is a man whose
name is becoming familiar to thou
sands of persons in this city, and to
many other thousands throughout the
lintermountain west. This is because
of the very important work he is do
ing 10 make of Salt Lake City and
other cities of this section better places
, in which TO live, because he is bringing
10 the homes of thousands of good citi-
zens the blessing of good sanitation,
which was missing before.
First Work in Salt Lake City.
Since taking his first contract in Salt
Lake City two and a half years ago,
Mr.. Kennedy has done work in the
way of laying sewers, especially, that
will have an influence on the growth
and health of the city as long as d
house shall stand; as long as a family
shall cali this city its home. His first
contract here was for the extension of
the gravity sewer covering the district
from Fifth South and State streets to
Fourth East and Ninth South streets.
This extension connects with the old
gravity sewer on Fifth South, and car
, ries the sewage from that section of
the city through the old gravity sewer
= 20 the extreme northwestern part of
! the city. The contract with the city
called for the payment of 5000. This
main extension with its network of lat
erals furnishes the residents of a large
J and thickly settled district i'm the
southeastern section of the city the
best of sanitation.
Good Work on the Benches.
Mr. Kennedy's next contract with the
city included all the sewer laterals
constructed throughout the entire year
I 1906 on the north bench and a portion
of the east bench. This contract called
; for the payment by the city of the
. snug sum of $4,000. tt enabled the
o residents of some of the most desir-
able sections of the city to discard the
noisome and unsanitary cesspOOls upon
which they were forced TO depend for
! fifty years, and TO get in touch with
! the civilization of the twentieth cen
fury in the matter of home sanitation.
When the Real WORK Began.
But the big contract awarded Mr..
/ Kennedy, the work by which he will be
longest remembered. is the construction
OF the great interceptng sewer that
/ traVerses the southwestern part of the
/ city. This together with the pumping
stations calls for upward of 5000, 600.

the city Feb. L 1908, and the pumping
station is now in course of construc-
