ION behalf of the taxpayers of this

with an increased revenue of over 500 GJO
the present administration will close its
books on Dec. 81 next with a deficit, and
that for the first time In its history, Salt

explanation the man who originally
made the motion favoring the substI-
tuition of the flag for the eagle with

the eagle be perched on a beehive. This
motion finally prevailed ana on the Re

Arthur L. Thomas, chairman OF the
platform committee, read the platform
agreed upon by the committee. The
clause in the platform favoring an ad-
equate salary for teachers and the see
ton having to do with the separation
of church and state were evidently af-
terthoughts of the committee, since they
were inserted after the typewritten cop
les had been made. Each section was
followed by applause from the dele
gates.
Lemon Is Presented.
The platform was so well written
that there was much conjecture as to
its authorship. Some were cruel
enough TO suggest that the comnIittee
had gone outside of its membership to
secure the literary talent that engrossed
the resolutions. The planks Of the plat
form which were greeted with the most
ence to the methods of the present city
administration.
Aside from the argument over the Sc
lection of the party emblem everything
came off as rehearsed. AS soon as
Governor Thomas had finished reading
the platform, the band, per rehearsal,
struck up THE Star Spangled Banner,
to get the delegates in a patriotic mood,
and to give the chairman the OppOr-
tunity to see whether or not Mr.. Ed
wards was prepared for his entrance.
When the band ceased playing, the
chairman announced that the next or
der of business would be the nomina-
ton of mayor. That was the cue for
Harry Edwards TO arise and make the
presentation speech to DIR. Plummer.
Carefully reserving the name until the
last-as though every one didn't know
who it was-AIr Edwards clothed the
candidate i'm the cloak of perfection
and then threw him upon the mercy
of the delegates. They showed the
doctor no pity.

We venture the assertion that never
before has there been attempted a sale
of the proportions this sale viii as
sumo. Think of it, an entire stock OF
over 200 instruments to be closed out
in ten days.
1t seems almost impossible to &C
complish such a result, but neverthe-
less we fully expect every instrument
to be taken long before the time limit
of the sale expires.
OF course, we realize that prices on
everything must be cut so deep that the
instruments would really sell them
selves. We knew that the great value
must be so apparent to all that every
buyer could see at a glance what q
piano opportunity this really is.
So we simply shut our eyes to cost
or former prices and cut and slashed
prices almost to the vanishing point.
Judging by the results of the first
DAYS selling, we predict a quick sale
of the entire stock. Really. at the
prices marked on these instruments if
ought TO be a grab game.
The buyers were here from far and
near yesterday and many pianos were
selected The store presented a busy
scene all day, crowded with earnest
seekers for the wonderful bargains and
none were disappointed, for all found
everything just as advertised.
You see we are about to remodel our
varerooms. The contracts have been
let and work must begin Oct. 14th. We
are compelled to get this whole stock
out of the way of possible damage, and
rather than take any risk or cart the
pianos to a storage house we decided to
close out everything, sacrificing all
profit.
We would rather take cost or less for
the stock now and open our new store
with an entirely new stock than havF
the instruments damaged while repairs
are going on and then be compelled to
sell them at a sacrifice
This is the simple story.
This explains why We are maxine
such great reductions in the prices OF
the best pianos ever brought TO Salt
Lake.
HOW THEY WENT YESTERDAY.
Among the pianos selected yesterday
were three of those fine durable up
rights that usually sell at $3.50, $265 t.

at SIP. The terms were $40 cash ant

Novice For Harvard Coach.

Although the board of overseers of
Harvard university has sanctioned foot
ball and various other forms of inter
collegiate sports. the undergraduates
are nursing fresh grievances. Just now
the most poignant one is the appoint
ment of Joshua Crane as head coach
of the football team. Cranes chief
claim to athletic distinction is not foot
ball ability 1t is based rather on the
fact that he has been the American
court tennis champion for period Of
three years. And the students now
want to know why a big university
like Harvard has to turn to tennis
player to get a football coach. And in
view of the present very precarious
condition of athletics at Harvard this
action is all the more inexplicable.
Crane graduated from Harvard in
the class of 80, but he never played
on the varsity eleven and has no expe-
rience in coaching except what he tc-
quired last year as one of Reds as
sistants. It is said that Captain Par
ker appointed Crane to this position
because he was the only Harvard man
who could be secured to coach the "elev-
en- without salary.

Old Lone Distance Runner.

Although nearly fifty years of age,
Peter w. Foley Of Medford, Mass,
will compete in the Marathon race in
Boston April 10. The veteran runner
is considered by many to have grand
chance to be among the leaders at the
end of the twenty-five mile event.
Foley, who is member of the Bos-
ton Athletic association. is an all round
athlete For the past three years he
has started in the Marathon race. and,
although he never won, he always fin
ished strongly.
Last year he finished among the first
thirty, and two years ago he came in
thirty-second. In that race it took him
3 hours. % minutes and 1-5 seconds
to traverse the course. No watch was
kept on him last year, but experts say
his time was much faster than the year
before.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Pruning Fruit Trees.

Trim a little every year rather than
much in any one year. Peach trees
require more pruning than most trees;
at least one-half of the new growth
should be removed each season. Cher
ry trees require the least pruning.
Merely cut out dead, broken or crossed
limbs. Other trees need judicious
thinning out and sometimes cutting
back" If two branches interlock, re-
move the smaller one. Avoid cutting
so as to leave stubs. Make neat cuts
close to union; paint all large wounds.
Be chary of cutting off large limbs. 1t
it must be done, saw on under side
first, partly through, and then saw
from above. Prune in February or
March or i'm June. Spring pruning in
duces wood growth; June pruning IA

Keen the Milk Clean.

Keep the dirt out Of the milk. The
absence of cleanliness furnishes us
with the missing link that lowers man
to the level of the beast. An ounce of
sixteen to one. of course. It is easy
enough with reasonable care to keep
a great deal of the dirt that gets into
the milk out of 1t. but it is exceedingly
difficult after the milk has become pol
luted with dirt to get some of that dirt
out of it again. and it is impossible to
get all of the dirt in polluted milk out,
because a large portion of it is dis
solved before the milk reaches the
strainer.

Senator Tillman sees more with his
one eye than many men see with two,
but nevertheless those who see the
fiery southerner cannot avoid noticing
his misfortune. Not long ago he clap
ped his hands for a page from the
cloakroom door. A new page, who had
not yet mastered the senatorial names,
responded.
"Tell Senator Clay" he said, that I
want to see him in the cloakroom."
The page ran on the errand, on his
way stopping to ask the head usher
where Senator Clay sat. Then he ask
ed, Who's this that has only one eyer
The usher, thinking it a question of
mythology, replied. "Why, Cyclops, of
course"

astounding way: Senator Cyclops
