ORGANIZE TO GET
TOURISTS TO L|NGER
Real Estate Association Would
Use Moral SuasiOn on the
Travelling Public.

After considering plans for inducing
tourists TO secure longer stop-overs at
Salt Lake, Chairman W. r. Tuttle of
the special committee appointed by the
Salt Lake Real Estate association, has
decided 10 recommend that special
organization be formed to take the mat
ter in hand Numerous methods Of pro
ccdure have been suggested, and as the
adoption of all of these would un-
doubtedly bring about the best results,
the field is large enough TO engage the
attention of an entire organization.
Since it has been ascertained that
trainmen, especially those who are EN-
ployed on Pullman cars, do not encour-
age long stop-overs here, 1T has been
suggested that this Objectionable fea-
ture be overcome. The Pullman en-
ployes, it is said, find it TO their in
tcrest TO retain their passengers in
their charge as long as possible, be-
cause the tips which they receive form
no small part of their revenue, The
members of the special committee, w.
B. Tuttle and W. J. Halloran, will urge
that these employees be in some way
converted TO the cause. even though
their conversion should require the eX-
peDditure Of sim OF money equal to
that which the trainmen receive in
tips.
Another method that has been sug
gested is to interest ticket agents in
the enterprise. If they could be in
duced to use their influence in urging
tourists to spend more time in visiting
the points of interest in Salt Lake, it
is thought that their efforts would be
productive Of noticeable results. But
the most ardently advocated method Of
procedure is that Of having agents meet
the incoming trains and making can.
vas OF the passengers. In this way it
would be possible to reach all tourists
and inform them beforehand Of the
many attractions which Salt Lake offers
and the possibility of getting suitable
stop.overs. This is one Of the methods
that have been tried at other places,
and is considered to be the best that
can be devised.
The committee will suggest that the
Real Estate association take the pre-
liminary steps In forming an organiza-
tion to handle this work. After this is
done the association will withdraw and
turn over the entire matter TO the new
organization, it being considered i'm
possible for the Real Estate associa-
tion to proceed further on account Of
its limited membership.

DAMAGE SUIT FILED
Herman A Kramer Institutes Suit
Against Voiles Brothers

Herman A, Kramer's domestic af-
fairs were we'll aired a short time ago.
when his wife, Selma A. Kramer,
brought suit for divorce, and the
grounds were apparently so childish
that the application was refused by
Judge Morse. Herman lost part of his
right hand last fail and is now suing
his old employers for damages for the
loss. The suit is against Erly B, Voiles
and Walter II. Voiles, butchers, and in
his complaint he alleges that he was
compelled to feed a meat chopper with
his hands, with no proper appliances
being provided; that on Sept. 4. 1906,
while thus engaged, his right hand be-
came entangIed in the machine. which
was run by electricity, and crushed so
that it was necessary to amputate four
fingers. He claims that he is not n
machinist and was but 10 years Of age
at the time. and that it was the duty
of the defendants to properly instruct
him in the use of the machine. which
they did not do. He asks $4,000 dam
ages.

Numerous interesting experiments in
fire fighting have recently been made
by the Union Pacific railroad at Chey-
enne, Wyo, and one method has been
evolved from which satisfactory results
are obtained. Heretofore the railroads
have had no facilities for extInguish
ing fire at the rear of q passenger train
when the train is between stations.
One OF the first experiments was to
force steam through the steam pipes
of the coaches and to conduct the steam
TO the FIRE. This was found impractical
BILE since tho dry steam only famed the
flames below tho water level, and the
wet steam was forced through the
steam pipes of twelve coaches. Near
the end of the train bonfire had been
kindled and the water from the engine
was successfully forced through the en-
TIRE train and the fire was eXtinguished
without difficulty. 1t is anticipated
that this fire fighting apparatus will
mean a great saving to railroad equip
