tives from Utah. Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho, and International Vice-presidenr

called on Mr.. Murray by appointment.
The meeting was informal. Terms Of o
possible settlement were not discussed
but arrangements were made for a meet

time each side will present its case and
an effort Will be made to settle the diff

At the meeting next Tuesday F. j. Nc

Mr. Sullivan is very sanguine over the
prospects Of a favorable settlement of the
strike.
MIR. Sullivan Talks.
While our meeting yesterday was an
informal one said Mr.. Sullivan, ''it
showed that the company was inclined to
be reasonable and that it was DESTROYS
of effecting a settlement. Although 1t is
possible that we may disagree in this
matter, I hardly think it possible, and ]
have hopes of a speedy settlement of the
trouble. The executive board of the dis
trict is I'm Salt Lake and will remain
here until the trouble is wore or all hope
of reaching an understanding is aban-
dOned. The executive board has the
power TO agree for the men on the terms
of the settlement. yet I favor a referen-
dunn vote being taken on this question.
In that way we could find out just what
is satisfactory to each local and avoid all
possibility of future trouble. This vote
can be taken and the result known in
fOrty-eight hours. I am confident that
we can reach an agreement satisfactory

company as we'll"

One of the features of the pavement
is that in the warm weather it is posi-
bic to made a heel mark on it and to
punch an umbrella point an iCh or so
into it. 1t is becoming generally recog-
nized thai asphalt pavement to last
must be laid in this manner! so that
when the winter comes ii will not crack
on contracting. The marks made by
horses hoofs and otherwise soon disap-
pear, as the pavement is elastic and IS
able to cover uD these indentations.
The asphalt is laid Two inches thick,
with a binder composed of tarred rock
one and one-half inches thick. All this
is supported by a concrete foundation
six inches through.
The plans for all this work were
made by /. c. Kelsey. city engineer.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-07-14

The other view shown is of Fourth
South street. Here P. J. Moran is lay
ing asphalt from Second East to West
Temple street, a distance of three
blocks, at q cost of $50, 900. The work
will be completed in about two weeks.
Already the block between Main and
West Temple streets has been finished,
and almost the entire block between
State and Main streets. One side of the
block between State and Second East
streets remains to be finished, although
the concrete foundation has been laid.
Along the entire length of the pave
ment on these streets the street rail-
way company has laid its new eighty
pound steel rails, which will last as
long, If not longer, than the pavement,
which is guaranteed for ten years.

One of Salt Lakes municipal curiosi-
ties is the block Of macadam pavement
laid on Twelfth East street, between
Second and Third South streets. This
one isolated block is the only pavement
in the vicinity, and connects at either
enc with unpaved streets, Second
South being paved only to Tenth East,
and no paving work having been done
yet on Third South.
The ahutting property owners in this
block are the cause of the improve
ment, for which they have paid $4,000
P. J. Moran is the contractor. Before
the improvement was made this section
of the street was most unsightly. the
west side being much higher than the
north. A steep grade also added to the
Inconvenience. Fine homes line the

street, and it was decided by their
owners that grade for all time should
be established and the block paved with
macddam. The council was appealed
to, and although there was considera-
bic establishment at the decision of the
property owners, they were given what
they wished. As a result this block
will soon be one of the beauty spots of
Salt Lake. The people have just COM
pleted laying sidewalks on either side,
the terraces are being improved,
flowers and trees planted and the bou-
levard seeded. Already property own
ers on the other sections of the street
are becoming enviOus Of this block full
of enterprising citizens, and no doubt
will soon petition that the pavement be
connected with Brigham street at least.

HER TIMELY DISCOVERY

Eureka. July 13-Mrs. Roy Myers had
a very exciting experience yesterday at
her residence on upper Main street Mrs.
Myers was preparing to start a fire in
the kitchen range and had brought an
armfui of kindling wood for the purpose.
She had lighted the paper and was just
in the act of putting in the kindling wood
when she noticed a large stick of dyna-
mite usually used for blasting holes drill
ed by machine drills. She hastily
snatched the powder from the flames and
carried it out of doors, the chances are

trees. But the property owners, seeing
the rapid development of lower Main
street, and hoping that another Newhouse
would extend the commercial district into
their territory, protested. They asked
for a regulation eighty-foot street be
tween Fourth and Fifth South streets.
They were willing to pay the 1880 differ
ence in cost because they believed that
their property would be enhanced in value
by such a course. Their wishes prevailed
and as a result the trees have gone. In
stead of trees and shaded lawns in years
to come this block will be a busy center
of commerce. The people know it and for
this they have sacrificed their trees.

the magnificent heirlooms Of a generation
which is fading away lie in the cutters.
The picturesque vine-clad St. Paul's
church looks lonesome without its pro-
tecting shade, and so do the dwellings on
either side. The sky line is now wide
and the sun beats down where IL has not
held sway for many a summer.

SOUVENIR CARDS
TO CONQUER EAST
CITY WILL BE DECORATED FOR
N. E. A. CONVENTION
Chairman of Committee Believes That
Street Illumination Prepared for
Shriners Can Be Left In
Place Until July

Every city and county superintendent
and every high school principal in the
United States will receive within few
weeks literature from the local N. E.
A. headquarters advertising the big
convention and tell how, why and when
to get here. A sample of all the litera-
ture issued by the publicity committee
will be sent them, and with it a per-
sonal letter asking them to send for as
many copies of each publication as they
can use. There are 5000 names on the
list, but the committee is confident that
the recompense in the publicity given
the convention will reray the herculean
labor involved many times over.
The postal card conquest of the east
is on in full force. Letters were sent
to every superintendent of schools and
every principal in California, asking
them to have all the pupils in their
schools send postal cards to their east
ern friends telling of the ". e. A. con-
vention. The plan was to have the COM
meroial bodies of the cities in which the
schools were located make postal cards
of points OF interest in their vicinity
and have printed on the card brief
description of prices, routes, etc. More
than half the superintendents have al
ready replied to Robert o. Hoedel, the
secretary of the local department,
heartily indorsing the plan.
To the present time the Santa Ana
high school holds the record for num-
ber Of cards. The pupils Of this school
will take care Of HOO. There are 1876
teachers, each Of whom will use about
ten.
Central Park to Blaze
be 1102 electric lights hidden in every
conceivable place in Central park Mon
day night, July 8, when the big con-
vention will formally open. The Tenn
Pile auditorium will accommodate about
one-tenth Of the visitors expected, and
the park will be brilliantly lighted to
take care of the rest. Thousands Of
incandescent lights will be strung
through the palms and shrubbery Of
the downtown park, and around each
will be Japanese lantern. The best
band in the west will discourse sweet
music through the trees and benches
will be placed ever 'where-even on the
grass. Daintily gowned beauties Of
Los Angeles will serve lemonade.
orangeade and oranges to the guests Of
the city.
r. @. Story, chairman Of the execu-
tive committee of the convention, is
beginning campaign for the decora-
'tion of the city during conventio-- week.
He urges the fact that there will be
from 10000 to $4,000 teachers and their
friends in the city during the week.
These pedagogues, if the city is
made attractive to them, will inculcate
in the mind; of the coming generation
the marvels of Los Angeles, thus pro-
ducing a crop of tourists and colonists
which will keep maturing for the next
twenty years. Mr. Story believes that
the electrical decorations now put up
in the streets of Los Angeles can be
permitted to remain till the N. E. A.
convention, when they will be ready for
use without extra cost.
