Formal Opening of New Club Rooms
at Park City Takes
Place.

Park City. May H.-As per the schedule
arranged for the grand opening by the
committee having the matter of the new
club rooms for the local lodge of Elks
in hand. the formal opening was held last
evening after the regular meeting of the
lodge, and that the same was a gigantic
success can be attested by the many who
were present and took part in the intro
duction Of the new rooms to the public.
Immediately following the lodge meeting
the members adjourned across the street
to the home and at that place were re-
ceived by the committee in charge and
told to make themselves at home A
sumptuous lunch had been prepared and
until a late hour the crowd stayed on
The rules of the organization were sus-
pended on this opening night, but here
after the club will close promptly each
night at Il o'clock
The new club rooms are situated on the
east side of Main street in what is known
as the Barton building. and the entire
upper floor is used for the club. In the
front part of the building is situated the
lounging rooms and the buffet The bill
rooms and again behind these are the
club rooms
The entire building is owned and con-
trolled by the local lodge through a cor
poration known as the Park City Elks'
Home association, the stock of which is
owned principally by the members of the
lodge here.
The club rooms are the first of the sort
ever started in Park City, and it is GER
tain that they will fill long felt want

a man wanted to loaf in Park City he
was of necessity driven to the saloons.
Now he will be able to go to a club
room and the result should be for the
betterment of the conditions in Park City
generally.

pearance in Park City. Following the

High water, as result of the heavy
SHOWS of the winter, has been the chief
source of trouble for the city officials
during the past week. and as yet the sub
feet remains almost an unsolved problem.
| Owing to the fact that the Ontario tun-
mel is closed not nearly so much surface
water is taken off as usually Is the case
and the entire volume augmented by the
heavy snowfall of the past winter Is
coming down the canyons. In Ontario
canyon the flume is out of commission en-
tirely and the road is being ruined The
same condition exists in the other can
yons. though the result to the roads is
not so bad as In the Ontario. However.
handle the floods. and no further damage
than that already done is anticipated

DAYS ago by his horse falling with him
while en- route to work at one of the
mines. The mans shoulder was broken
and several other minor injuries were
inflicted by the accident.
Yesterday the team of the Park CITY
Mercantile company got away from the
teamster and created not a little excite
ment for a moment or two by boiling
down the street at terrific pace The
wagon was left near Hodgson's jeweIry
store. at which place a huge sign was
knocked down. Dwayne Mathew the
teamster. was thrown out and sustained
badly cut head as result of the af-
fray He was taken to a physician who
found it necessary to put in over fifteen
stitches to close the wound.
