SALT LAKES PLEASURE RESORT.
SaItair, Utah's coney Island, Opens
on Decoration Day.

Salt Lake City.-Saltair, Utah's
leading pleasure resort, will open for
the season of 1907 on Decoration day
with better facilities for entertaining
the public than ever before in it's his
tory. Many improvements have been
made during the closed season, zoo
new bath rooms having been added
10000 feet of new platform built, new
entrance and exit gates built, thus
preventing delay of entrance and ext,
to the pavilion. The water is two
feet higher this season than last year
and the bathing will be all that could
be desired. In the amusement fea
lures will be found new roller skat
ing rink, 100x150 feet, new Worlds
Touring Car, Roller Coaster, Merry
Go-Round for the children, fine new
steamer carrying 200 people, gaso1
line launches, the finest dancing f1oof
in the world, while a first class res
taurant will satisfy the inner man.
The rolling stock of the railway
which conveys the crowds to and
from the city has been improved and
added to- and 45-minute service will
be maintained every day after 2 p. m.
A new depot has been erected on Sec
Dnd South street between Third and
Fourth West. A trip to Salt Lake is
not complete without visit to Salt
air, Utah's "Coney Island" which
yearly entertains many thousands OF
pleasure seekers, and which prom.
tses to break all records this season.

BvT. LIEUT.. COL. WILLIAM ED
WARDS.
Instantly all the old animosity OF
the years gone by returned. The man
buried here had stolen from him his
opportunity, had stolen the girl he
loved and then there came to him the
thought that this man had sacrin, I'd
his life for the flag; that this man
had lost his life in bringing success
to himself and his comrades, and had
helped in saving them from probable
humiliation at the hands of the en-.
envy.
Reverently he stopped over the
grave and planted the flag he carried
beside the white stone. AS he
did so a woman's voice close behind
him said:
Il thank YOU"
He turned. 1t was Blossom Ma
than The same Blossom, though a
sad, sweet-faced woman now, instead
of the chit of girl he had known
so many years ago. The years of
exposure and hardship had changed
him so she did not know him.
1T is my husbands grave" she ex-
planned. THE wind has evidently
blown the flag away, and have been
looking for it, but without success.
1t seemed SO lonely without flag
like the others"
Blossom" he cried. Don't you
know me?"
The voice brought back to her the
days of her girlhood; the impetuous
boyish lover.
She gave him her hand, and togeth-
err they left that battlefield, where
hope had died and hope was born
again.
A few months later she again jour
neyed to the west to spend her life at
an army post--a soldiers wife.

went back to her old home to await

The four years of war dragged wear

colonel.
AT the battle Of Gettysburg Col.
Bryant was temporarily in command

The practice of tipping is not entire

some benefit. A former butler of Mr..
Choate, American ambassador to Eng
land before Mr.. Reid, has built large
hotel on the coast on the tips he re-
ceived from visitors to the American
embassy. whose servants make more
money than those attached to other
embassies, chiefly because of the num-
Der of wealthy Americans who visit
the ambassador and scatter tips with

POINTS FROM THE PRESI.

President Roosevelt covered wide

at the ia mestown Exposition, one at
the dedication of the Georgia Building,
and one before the National Editorial
Association. Among other things be
came out equivocally for an income
tax law, for a graduated Inheritance
tax, for national legislation to prevent
child labor in factories, for legislation
to provide compensation for accidents
to employees, whether caused by neg
ligenoe or not, and in this connection
gave rather broad suggestion to the
railroads that they were unwise in
fighting the constitutionality of the
National Employers Liability law.
He also told of the land frauds that
had been unearthed and of the neces
sity of enacting laws which woulc
permit the Government to control the
fuel, oil and timber resources now il
the public domain. Some of his more
striking sentences are as follows:
"Most great civilized countries have
