the ravine running between Gates
head and Newcastle in Northumber-
land. This ravine or wash is just
like Our City Creek and there is no
reason why Our City Creek and other
canyons should not be ornamented
with trees, plants, etc, drives laid out
for carriages, pedestrian walks, bicy-
Gle roads, paths, etc, and each one
separate and distinct from the other,
and those ravines beautified by native
trees. 1t has been done in old Eng
land and it can be done here and ev-
cry canyon and every ravine could
be made a pleasure resort, being or
namented and fitted for general rec
reation. These suggestions it may be
said all mean expense. They do, but
they mean enterprise on the part of
the city council. They mean enter
prise on the part of the general pub
lie, and there is every facility and
every opportunity for this ornamental
ton and utilization of the canyons
so the people can have the benefit of
them
The church is doing all that can be
expected of it as an organization to
improve the appearance of this city,
but more could be done and it only
needs that someone should push these
improvements.
One thing that is Objectionable, is
the contemplated erection of sky
scraper in this city on the main street.
1t is quite true that land has become
very expensive and that builders want
to make the most of their land. But
it should not be allowed to shut out
from the general public the outline
of Our beautiful mountain scenery.
These are all items that pertain
really to the identifying of the city,
to the influence of public spirit and
it is not at all improbable that as re-
CARDS these predicted statues some of
those interested would of their own
accord take part in the expense Fam
lilies who have become well-to-do re-
siding here could show their appre-
citation Of their progenitors by per-
petuating their enterprises and their
names.
Certain ladies called at the Temple
block the other day and measured
the fountain there, stating there were
going to erect a similar one at the
entrance to the park. But they have
backed down for the curious reason
that the saloonkeepers did not wait it.
Can any except a saloon-keeper give
a reason why water facilities should
not be extended? We had years ago
water troughs for horses. We also
had along First street water fountains
but these have all been abandoned,
since the advent of the great Liber-
al party.

left it. 1t was a discredit to all con-
cerned and remains so to this day.
That should be completed and treat
ed as originally projected. And in
connection with that boulevard 1t
was intended or suggested that It be
connected with the plateau Of the
state house, that is to be, and bridge
was suggested across the chasm call
ed City Creek and the city council in
it's wisdom appropriated $1,000 for
that purpose But it was not enough
to buy the wooden patterns, for l
presume the price would more nearly
approach $4,000 than $1,000. If Iced
ed there should be toll bridge so
that travellers using it when @om-
pleted should in some measure have
to pay for it.
Another project has been the park
ing of the entrance to City Creek cam
yon. 1t has been before the council
several times but remains to this day
not used and without the appliances
or concentrations necessary.
Another thing, the city council has
appropriated from year to year GER
tain amounts for the portrait of the
mayor. This is custom that would
be more "honored in the breach than
in the observance" And the council
should send home to the different
persons interested those portraits
now in the council chamber, and if
we want any effigies of the great men
of the past think we had four may
ors of this city prior to the granting
of the state government whose men,
cries should be perpetuated. These
four mayors should be put into statue
form and placed in front of the State
House or, City Hall with R. N. Bas-
kin, who built the latter. Liberty
park also is without anything of the
kind in the way of ornament and mas
much as VIM. Jennings, once mayor
of the city, was the instrument in Sc
curing that park for the good of the
inhabitants, his statue should stand
at the entrance of the park. The To-
cation of this city was in the desert
when the pioneers arrived here. There
were men who saw the possibilities
and worked for the RELAXATION of these
possibilities and such men could be
remembered in a like way-Judge
Elias Smith, Selectman Reuben Mil
Ter, Bishop Stewart, of Draper. They
created it by their energy and fore
thought, and their memory should be
perpetuated in that way.
Much has been said about this be-
ing a convention city, but the accom-
modations for strangers are meagrc
indeed. Our wide streets should
have on them toilet conveniences,
steps down to such accommodation
should be of cement or granite and
the sides and appointments thereof

who was found In his bunk in his laundry
at 261 Cranston street. Sunday morning,
with his skull battered In, died at the
Rhode Island hospital last evening.
Though 1t Is supposed that Foynik was
the victim of thieves. the police have no
clue to the perpetrators Of the crime. and
as Foynik from the time he was found
In his bunk remained unconscious, no in
formation could be gotten from him.
Though the laundry had been ransaclrod
and articles strewn about the floor. the
police really do not know that anything
was taken or whether the assault which
has proved TO be murder, was done by
thieves or by ono or more persons who
sought revenge
The Fourth station officers, as we'll as
Chief Inspector Horton and inspectors

the case.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The Panama
canal has cost the American government
ss4 $4,000 to Dec. 81. 1905, according to a
statement OF the audited expenditures
just published. The bulk of the expendi-
ture was the s5o.0Oo0oO to the French COM
pany and the Panama government for
canal property, right of way, and fran
chise. and s3As.o22 went for material and
supplies
A plan by which European laborres ON
the lsthmus Of Panama may bring their
families to that place is under considera-
ton by the canal commission. 1t contem-
plates the erection or cheap houses on
small tracts OF land, establishing settle
ments In close proximity to the work
along the canal, The colonization of these
people, II Is believed, will give a steady
and permanent supply of the best labor
available for the canal work and will re-
suit In clearing and improving a good por-
ton OF the land belonging to the commits
sion on the canal zone
