WALKERS SHORTEN HOURS
Department Store Will Open at $50
O'Clock in the Morning
Hereafter.

Beginning tomorrow morning, Walk
er Brothers store will open every
morning at $50 o'clock. instead of s
o'clock, as heretofore. This action was
taken in order to give the salespeople
living in the outskirts of the city
longer time in which to get to work in
the morning, and so that the employees
would have shorter hours. no change
having been made in the closing time.
In explaining his action in reducing
the working hours, ]. II. Beifus, man
ager of Walker Brothers. said he was
following the most up-to-date ideas in
department store management In met
ropolitan- cities. 1T is too much to
expect saiespeopie, 30 per cent of whom
are women, to work the hours they are
putting in at the modern department
store, and we are making an effort to
shorten their. day. said Mr.. Beifus.
In the state of Washington there is a
law fixing the hours of work in de-
partment stores from $3.50 in the morn
ing TO $50 in the afternoon, or eight
hours per day. The stores in Seattle
close on Saturday evenings at $50, the
same srs on other days. think it is
a good law, and any move to close the
department. stores at these hours in
Salt Lake would receive our hearty CO.
operation.
The opening of our store at $50 in
the morning instead of at 5, viii cause
no inconvenience to the public. The
trade before $50 in the morning is so
slight that lit is easy for us to give the
employees the extra half hour each

geIes TO irrigate fruit land. An auto
matte stand carrying great refiectors
follows the course of the sun as regu-
larry as the best telescope ever made,
and the suns rays are thus reflected on
a central point where the boiler of a
small engine is located.
Within an hour after sunrise the heat
of the sun raises the temperature of the
water to the boiling point and thus cre-
ates steam, and the pumping machinery
begins its days work and keeps it up
until shutdown.
The power of the sun for heating has
only been family appreciated by scien-
lists in the past, but the prediction is
made now that if all the coal should
give out we VOID soon be able to run
much of our machinery. from the power
of the sun. With 500 mirrors properly
arranged to focus the rays upon one
point a temperature of more than 1000
degrees has been obtained. This almost
equals one-fifth the highest tempera-
ture recorded by the electric furnace,
which is considered today the most
powerful heating apparatus ever dis
covered. As there is no limit to the
number of mirrors that may be en-
ployed and as the intensity of the heat
increases in proportion to the number
of rays reflected. by the mirrors it is
conceivable that a temperature may be
obtained in time that viii surpass any,
thing ever dreamed of.

DOCTORS VIEW OF CHANGE.
Ready to Welcome End Of Four
Party Service.

When q man wants the doctor he
wants. him at once, and recognizing this
many doctors of Salt Lake are prepar-
ing TO welcome the diseontinuance of
the fouP-party line service by the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone, COM
pany June 1. Most of the doctors of the
city have the measured telephone ser
vice at their offices aud the Individual
service at their homes. They have
made this arrangement because most
OF their office telephoning is the result
of incoming calls from patients. With
four parties on a line. the patient has
often been unable to get his doctor
without delay, and the doctors appre-
ciating this are ready to change to the
twozparty line. which is only half so
likely TO be busy, or to the individual
service at their offices as we'll as at
their homes. The. doctors realize that
the loss OF one patient probably means
more TO them than the cost of a tele-
phone for year.
The same conditions apply TO many
other professional men and business
men of the city to whom the desirabiIi-
~ of the change, under which meas
ured service may be had at less cost
per message than under the present
four-party. arrangement, is apparent.

HIGH SCHOOL RECEPTION
Girls Predominant at Enjoyable
Function of the Senior
Class.

The High school senior class Of '07
held a reception last evening in Unity
hall There were almost three times
as many girls as boys present, which
made il nice for the boys, as they each
had the pleasure of escorting two or
three girls, yet it made many of the
fair sex sit out dances. which is an I'M
precedented thing in the annals Of
High school social affairs. After ten
pleasant dances the class adjourned
to the banqueting room and there par
took of refreshments which, while not
so elaborate as those of former years,
were very satisfying. Following the
repast, the POSTMASTER, John Loofbou-
row, took charge and toasts were
drunk. Mr. LOofbourow did himself
proud I'm introducing the speakers.
The prepared toasts were:
THE Glass of '07 Of the Past" Prin-
-cipal Eaton. T. -s--ssr ~ D. s-s
1.-THE Glass of 'O7 of the Future" Will
liam Home.
THE Boys of '07'' Margaret Parsons.
''The Girls of o. Roy Billings.
1.-The High School Faculty." Roy
Coates, president of the class.
The banqueting hall was decorated
in green and white, the class colors.
The dancing floor was decorated in red
and black. the High school colors,
Cosy corners were arranged about the
sides.
Arrangements for the reception were
carried out by Joseph johnson, Scott

Gas SHORTAGE DUE
To LACK Of OIL

OAKLAND, Jan. 7.-Shortage in oil
due to the extreme lack of transporta-
ton facilities is responsible for the
diminished supply of gas in this city.
Last night many residences were en-
tirely cut off and the flow today has
been slight. Great difficulty has been
encountered IN getting sufficient oil,
from which the Illuminating fluid is
manufactured. At the office of the
Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company
announcement was made that every
effort was being exerted to procure
oil and that the consuming public
would be fnconvenienced as little as
possible.
The fuel oil shortage has caused diff
ficulty in other quarters Across the
bay the same trouble is confronting
the heavy consumers of the product.
Supplies have been reduced to a mini
mum in many of the large factories.
Thus far the Southern Pacific Com
pany has not given evidence of short
age for it's oil-burning locomotives.
The company maintains enormous stor-
age tanks at West Oakland and other
supply stations on it's lines

MAY GIVE: SCHOOL
To OR|ENTALS

OAKLAND, Jan AT the meeting
of the Board of Education tonight d.
rector c. L. Ingler moved that the
matter of setting aside the Harrison
street School for the exclusive use Of
Chinese, Japanese and Korean pupils
be taken up by the board. He said that
an investigation revealed the fact that
a great majority of the present pupils
of the schools when dismissed passed
north and west on their way home d.
rectly through the settlement of the
Orientals and that such contact was
detrimental to the children of white
parents. The question was referred to
the committee on classification, with
instructions to be guided in its del
cision by the outcome of the test case
instituted by the Government In San
Francisco.
C. NJ Jones, an expert on steel con-
struction and concrete work, was re-
tanned by the board as superintendent
of construction of the new buildings.
His salary is to be SITS month and
he will enter at once upon his duties.
superintendent of Schools Nicely
monds urged upon the board the ad
vantage to be gained by limiting the
number of companies with which the
reinsurance of the school properties
would be placed at the expiration of
the present policies, in May. He recon-
mended that not more than twelve re-
liable companies be selected and that
blanket policies be placed with these
companies for certain amounts of in
surance to be distributed over a given
number of buildings. 1t was sug
gested that as Mayor Mott was having
the policies of the city exported, 1t
might be we'll to await the report
from this source before action were
taken. This was agreed upon.
The resignation of Miss Grace Sutton,
teacher of English in the High School.
was accepted, and Miss Edith Evans,
who for the past six months has been
acting as substitute. was regularly ap-
pointed to the position.

Shares Sold Are
Nearly Two
Millions

Aureolas of steam surrounded the
members of the San Francisco mining
stock brokers yesterday as they sold
shares in low temperature without
artificial heat to temper the Arctic
frigidity. Their breaths rose above
them and circled about them and the
overhead electric lights shone through
and colored all these wreaths like min
iature rainbows.
10 King, the caller of the San Fran
cisco Stock and Exchange Board, had
the largest aureola, for the simple rea-
son that he had more lung power and
consequently emitted air faster than
any one else when he shouted to Secre-
tary Landon the results of the bidding
on the floor of the exchange. Landon
also could boast an aureola of seven
prismatic colors as he read the report
of the sales on call in voice that
was stentorian.
While the Manhattan stocks dragged
little, and there were no striking
developments in the Bullfrogs. Gold
fields or Comstocks, the business of the
day was not bad. There was no de-
mand for the Sullivan Trust Comps any
stocks The total number of shares
sold made up the respectable showing
of 1,745,00 of Southern Nevada and
a much less number of the Comstocks.
