MANY COURSES OFFERED
University Summer School, Which
Opens Monday, Offers Wide
Latitude for Students.

The fourteenth annual session of the
University of Utah summer school be-
gins tomorrow morning. The registration
of students will occupy the first day.
Class work will begin Tuesday. The ses-
sion continues for six weeks, closing July
49,
The instructors I'm the summer school
are the members of the regular staff of
the university. They are those. with one
exception. who are named in the summer
school announcement issued in April. The
exception is in the department of modern
languages, MIR. Wise's departure to spend
the summer in Germany has left the
work in French and German to the head
of the department, Professor Arnoldson-
The courses OF instruction are of a
considerable extent and variety. In Eng
fish nine courses. including courses in
Dante. Shakespeare and nineteenth cen
tury literature, are aAnounced; in read
ing and elOcutiOn, three courses; in
French and German, three courses; in
Latin, four courses including a course
especially designed for medical students;
I'm history, three courses; in economics
and sociology, four courses; in education,
five courses, including a course in pri-
mary methods and training: i'm philoso-
ply, two courses; in mathematics, six
courses; in physics, three courses; in
chemistry, two courses; in biology. four
courses; in nature study, two courses; in
geography. two courses; in art courses
in drawing. in oil. and in charcoal and
water color; in domestic science. courses
in dressmaking. cooking and housekeep-
ing. and in manual training, three
courses.
In some of the departments students
are able to take two or three courses.
In others physics and chemistry for ex-
ample, a single course occupies the stu
dents time from early morning till late
at night.
Last year the attendance at the sum-
mer school was 361. The prospects are
that the attendance this year will be at
least as large. The facts that the school
teaches all the subjects in which teach
ers must pass examinations before they
are allowed to teach in the state schools
and that its credits are accepted by the
state board of education in lieu of ex-
aminations make it popular with teach
ers. Besides teachers many regular uni
versity students attend TO work off con-
ditions or TO get ahead of their course
and many other persons register for such
courses as those in literature or the Ian
guages, or history and economics.

OFFERS STORAGE
RATE ON COAL
O. S. L. Makes 25-Cent Con-
cesSion to Encourage Put
ting in Supplies.
AFFECTS WYOMING OUTPUT
UNION PACIFIC COAL CO. MAKES
25-CENT PRICE REDUCTION.

In order to induce dealers TO put in
large supply of coal during the summer,
the Oregon Short Line railway yester-
day issued a circular announcing that
the rate on coal from Rock Springs, on
the Union Pacific in Wyoming, and the
camps on the Oregon Short Line i'm the
same state would be reduced % cents
ton by refund at the end Of August
on each ton of coal stored. The Union
Pacific Coal company at the same time
announced a further reduction of %
cents ton in the purchase price, TO be
refunded in the same manner and at
the same time. This makes a reduction
of so cents a ton on coal mined by the
Union Pacific Coal company at Rock
Springs, and % cents a ton on other
Goals. For the past few years there
has been comparatively little Rock
Springs coal brought to Salt Lake. The
other Wyoming camps. however, are
large contributors to tho Utah supply
IT was impossible last evening to as
certain If the Utah Fuel company and
the Rio Grande railroad would meet the
reduction in price of the Wyoming coal.
The ext of the circular announcing the
reduction follows.
'The Union Pacific and Oregon Short
Line will amend their tariffs as soon
as it can be done legally. from Rock
anu vi lilt OTeROn snort
Line. Incorporating provision to the
effect that rate on coal shipped through
the summer months actually in storage
at the expiration of the tariffs. Aug 81
1907, will be reduced % cents per ton on
the refund plan. The Union Pacific
Coal company has also authorized a
further reduction of % cents per ton
from the mine prices under the same
conditions
This action is taken by the trans
portation companies with the object of
inducing the shipment of coal through
the summer. in anticipation of fuel
shortage during the winter of 1907 and
1908 In view of the labor trouble and
shortage of men at the mines, it is not
known to what extent this policy will
prove effective. The railroad compa-
mics have ample equipment TO haul all
the coal that can be mined, but can
not forecast with accuracy the ability
of the mines TO fill their orders: never
theleSS, as an evidence of good faith
and our desire to encourage the ship
ment of coal for storage purposes, these
rates Will be published. The tariff
from Cumberland. Glencoe, Diamond
vile, Kemmere- and North Kemmerer.
Wyo., TO ali points on the Oregon Short
Line and San Pedro will become effec-
tive July I, ami tariffs to other terrific
RIGS shortly thereafter"

FINE VAULT WORK.

The Utah Savings & Trust
company is installing the finest
and most improved vault work
for It's bank and safety deposit
vault to be found anywhere west
of the Big River. 1t is now
being put in by the Donnell Safe
company of Chicago These
vaults are the very latest in de-
sign and structure, being built
of Chrome and Bessemer steel
throughout. and are to be pro-
tecte1 by the very latest electric
device. which will not only no.
tify the public within four or
five blocks of the bank. but also
have direct communication with
the police station.
Mr.. Ben s. Williams, who is
the highest authority on this
class of work. has had entire
charge of the building and con-
struction of these vaults for
about one year. having super
intended the construction at the
factory. ard he is now here at
tending to the installation. The
workmen, including four special
experts from Chicago, are now
engaged on the construction.
and it is estimated they will be
six weeks in completing the sys-
tenn.
1t is probable that the build
ing will be ready for tenants
about the 18th of August

to breaking into the parade The au-
tomobiles will lead the procession This
arrangement is admitted to be thought
full as some of the pedestrian members
of the parade will be needed at the
lake next day, and they have a much
better show TO be in reDortable condi-
tion if they are placed behind the ma
chimes rather than in front. Paraders
will have great latitude in the matter
of costume, the only stipulation being
that they wear something in addition
to silk hats and linen busters. This
has been a backward season and the
committee does not intend to be held
responsible for pneumonia statistics.
Members of the general committee
urge merchants to decorate their VIM
doWs as soon as possible in honor of the
occasion. Prizes of S25, SIS and $40
have been set apart for the windows
that make the best showing.
The general committee consists of
Thomas Homer, chairman; G. r. Cleave-
land A. W. Raybould, E. r. Wheelon
and p. H. Irwin. Ali members of the
lodge are expected TO report at the club
at II o'clock today to consider further
arrangements for the celebration and
TO assist in choosing subcommittee.
