CAPT. WEBB'S FEAT
CHEERED BY STUDENTS
He Climbs to the Top of Flag
pole to Put Rope Through
Pulley.

School pranks which caused a great
deal OF trouble were perpetrated by boys
OF the hlghschool Friday morning be-
fore the beginning OF the school session.
two-hundred foot H5gpole has been
erected on tho school campus and iU was

tho first time. The Junior boys conclud-
ed that n banner bearing an 'oS should

Working under this supposition, they
painted ono and proceeded TO hoist ii
TO the top by means Of the rope connect
ed with n pulley at the top. They no
sooner got the flag UP than a bunch of
Seniors noticed IT and started an in
surrecton.
Making dash for the pole. seven of
them succeeded in driving the whole gang
OF Juniors and Soph6mores away. One
OF the leaders Of the Seniors then pro-
ceeded up the pole 10 get the flag down
The Juniors gained courage and with
added strength made a rush, They
gained the pole and several started TO
climb up. The Senior on. the pole i'm
medlately got busy with his feet and by
getting UP. Finally they got so thick
about his feet that ne was unable TO
keep them down. and. being unable 10
lower the nag. he cut the rope. The flag
came down and Brought the rope, too.
pulling II out OF dle pulley at the top.
The pole was TO be used In the after
noon N the inspection OF the cadets by
Governor Cutler, so IT was necessary to
get the rope TO the top OF the pole some
way.
No ono could be found who had courage
enough To go 10 the top and put the rope
through the pulley. The Bell telephone
people finally came down and offered their
help. after men from the Fire depart
ment and numerous othed places had
failed. The telephone men lowered the
pole about twenty feet. but II was neoes
sary for some one 10 climb the pole. This
was not an allurinG business. 1t

Dlause of the students below,
When the work was finished he slid
down and hobbled away with his feet

DRAMATIC READING
BY GEORGE RIDDLE

The Congregational church was we'll

gent, discriminating audience to listen
TO dramatic reading by George Rid

truth 10 say that IN entertainment out
of the ordinary was expected. In this
respect the audience was not disap-
pointed Mr.. Riddle. great and wide
spread as is his reputation is WAS not
disappointing.
If to disappoint an audience were
crime, the peerless elocutionist and dra
matte reader. Mr.. Riddle could with
trnth, during the third of a century and
more that he has been before the public.
plead not guilty to the charge. and ali
who have ever heard him would give
willing testimony to the truthfulness
Of his plea
Mr.. Riddle IS entertainment consisted
in greater part Of excerpts from HI,u-
cretia Borgia." by Victor Hugo. His
portrayal of this notorious woman s
wicked life work and the manner of
her tragic death was made in voice SO
forceful, so modulated. and so natural.
as 30 stamp Mr.. Riddle an artist whose
acting borders on genuine. So great
was the tension of the audience that
when the climax was approached, L.u.

genuine relief.

LARGE INCREASE CLAIMED
Directory People Estimate Salt Lakes
Present Population at 100000,

Directory People 6SblmdJe SalC Lake
Present Population at 100000
Secretary and General Manager w.
P, Cooper of the r. l.. Polk Directory
company, says that fewer people moved
away from Salt Lake City in the last
twelve months than within a like pc
riod for years. The increase in popu-
lation from other cities has been
greater this year than it was from 1905
to 1906, he says. The fast growth of
the city makes 1t harder task to COM
pile a city directory than in former
years, and the directory being got up
by the company now will be a month
later in publication aud distribution
than last year. 1t will be the last Of
June before the book is done, Mr.
Cooper SAYS One Of the reasons for
delay. he says, is the changing of SO
many street names by the City Coun-
ell. The publishers are busy verifying
names and addresses and being sure
that no duplicates are printed.
Mr. Cooper gives some figures on the
names in former city directories and
the population in other years, as fol-
lows: Names in directory in 1907,
1901: population, T4.412. Names in
directory in 1905, 4043O; population,
90,961. Names in directory in 1906,
1895; population, a6, 1876; increase in
