EIks Opera House, Tuesday. Jan. IA.


 The large number of strikingly hand some gowns worn in the production of "A Royal Slave" which will be seen at the Elks Opera House Tuesday next, Is the occasion of much comment in every city where the play has been seen this season. It is interesting to near the gasp of admiration and envy with which the ladies of the audience invariably greet each entrance of the women upon the stage. Miss Mary Ayers, as the Countess Inez. carries off the honOrs in this matter of sump- tuous costumlng. She appears in six handsome gowns, each one triumph of me taliOr's art. The climax Is reached ln the last act when she ap- pears in tight-ttting gown of black velvet disp,aying her magnificent fg- ure 10 admirable advantage, while d novel yirde lu the form of a monster sinlng serpent, with It, head pro- trudiny above the bodice of the gown il front, and it's length encircllng the waist and depending at the side of the skirt, causes the masculine portion of the audience to sit up and take notice.
 Miss Flo Young, as Annette the dancing glrl, is likewise well supplied with gorgeous gowns, appearing in d tferent one in each act. It. Is inter- estiny to note that each of Falry's dresses is covered with spangle,, al- ways in harmonious keeping with the color of the gown. As she wears one of these bespan yled, resplend .nt gowns when she gives the Spanish dance, which is one of the features of the play, the effect can be easll y imagined.
 The other members of the company are all appropriately and richly garb' ed. Inasmuch as the play deals with a royal family in the days of Castlian nlagnlf lficence at Emperor Maximilian's court it can be understood that the cosluning of the production is one of the most important features.

JUVENILE COURT
IS HANDICAPPED
Report Calls Attention to the
Urgent Need of Deten-
ton Schools.

The first annual report Of the JuVe-
nile court commission was filed with
the governor yesterday. The report
covers the period from March "A, 1907,
when the new state Juvenile court law
went into effect, until Dec. 81
The number of boys sent to the in
dustriaI school by the Juvenile court OF
the state during the period was thirty
one. and the number of girls nine.
The last legislature appropriated
s15 900 for the work of the court IoI
1907 and 1903, and of this amount So
536.SO has been expended, leaving
balance of IS. 1920. The largest item
of expense has been the salary OF
Judges and probation officers Which
has amounted to S4,1lS.
The estimate for S190S is $7,5S7, which
will leave s1.S76. 20 for incidental eX-
penses.
During the year the commission mas
distributed pamphlets containing the
new court law, together with CITY OF
dinances and other acts bearing on
the work. and an Address to the Pup
lie" setting forth the purposes Oh u
venile court work, and asking Iof the
support of the public
The difficulties encountered Have
been due chiefly to the meagerness OF
the appropriation, which led to the
fixing of the salaries of judges ana
probation officers, especially IN the
smaller counties, at so low a figure
that it has actually involved consid-
cradle sacrifice on the part of those
accepting the position.
The report also recommends that de-
tention schools be established. espe-
cialIy in counties containing cities of
the first and second class. The need
of such a school is particularly urgent
in Salt Lake county. In regard TO this
the report says:
1T has been the experience of the
Judges and probation officers in these
counties that hayward children who
are placed under probation and al
lowed to mingle freely with their for
mer associates are at a great disad-
vantage in their efforts to reform.
They cannot be remanded to Jail. and
the difficulty can only be overcome by
the establishment of detention
schools"

Browns address reads:
This day marks the beginning of
new epoch for our church. For the last

Sunday thereafter until the Sunday

Jewish temple, on Fourth East street
one-half block south of Second South
Our prayer meeting will be held in our
homes. The building committee IS rea-
sOnably certain that the Sunday school
room will be ready for occupancy III
about six months.
For long time we have needed a be-
ter church equipment That for which
we have labored for a great many years
will be our possession in the near future.
If ours will be a labor of love, founded
upon faith and prosecuted in the unbrok-
en- unity of the past, the new church
home will hasten to us, ready to be uSed
as an instrument Of service for our
Lord.
''The year 1908 will witness some of the
greatest achievements in the history of
the First Baptist church and in the Bap-

ciety will make il possible for us 10

future. Therefore. the outlook for city
missions in Salt Lake is brighter than
ever before.
"As a church, may we not only pur-
pose to conserve and hold together all
our present interests as We leave the old
church, but may we plan as well, to en-
large them as move out into the
promise of the new church.
For every member of our church and
congregation, the pastor heartily wishes
d year of prosperity in hand and pro-
gress in heart; a year that knows no
doubt or defeat; a year that shall be
fragrant with the incense of prayer and
freighted with the joy of service

ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD.
Bearing on constitutionaIity of That

Judge Richie yesterday heard the
arguments as to the cOnstitutionality
of the salary law passed by the last
legislature. The action was brought
by A. B. Elder, reporter of decisions
for the supreme court, whose pay was
cut from $500 TO $500 year, because
he asked for an increase to 81, 900. Sew
eral other officials whose salaries were
raised by this bill are deeply interest
ed in the outcome of the case.
The suit is in the form of a man

auditor to pay to Mr.. Elder $500 a
year, instead of $500. c. F. Goodwin
represented Elder, and E. A. Walton
and A r. Barnes represented the

LUMBER PRICES
ARE REDUCED
Local Dealers Announce De-
cline in All Building Material
Because of Stringency.
MAY BE ONLY TEMPORARY
FREIGHT RATES ARE NOT Ex-
oR5ITANT, SAYS MERRILL.

With the annual New Years inven-
tory comes the announcement of the
decrease from TO 10 per cent in the
price Of lumber This lessening in the
cost of lumber is probably due to the
decrease in the cost of production as
well as a decrease in demand, resulting
indirectly from the recent financial
stringency. The fact that labor can
be secured at much less than formerly
is probably the principal reason for the
falling off in lumber. The factories are
able to put out the lumber at a re-
duced price which enables the retail
dealers to sell at reduction
The decline in the price of lumber is
only temporary" said George E. Mer-
rill of the Morrison-Merrill Lumber
company yesterday. 'Since the first of
the year the dealers have been selling
lumber at lower figure than hitherto
because of the fact that they were able
to secure it at a lower price. The low
price of lumber is an outgrowth of the
recent financial depression, and cannot
continue after the financial conditions
become normal
The Time to Build.
1T is probable, however, that the
present reduced prices of lumber and
other building material will continue
until next summer. For this reason L
would urge that those who contemplate
building homes and places of business
do so this spring. Tt seems that the
proper time to build would be this
spring for the reason that there are a
number of factors that make building
operations much cheaper than hereto
fore.
"An important consideration in the
building of dwellings, and business
houses is labor. This spring. on &C
count of the closing down of the mines
and smelters, common labOrers can be
secured at much smaller wages, and
this rule will also apply to a certain ex-
tent to skilled labor.
There is but little doubt but that
these conditions will be taken advan-
| tage of by the investing public. Al
ready building activity has been begun
by many who have held real estate for
years waiting for the opportunity to inn
prove it. A business man Of Salt Lake
is planning to erect fifty cottages next
spring on his property, not far from
the city.
No Complaint on Freight Rates.
II am satisfied that the low price of
lumber will not continue later than next
fall. AS soon as the finances assume
normal conditions the lumber will re-
sumo it's normal prices. Lumber Is
selling lower now than it should, and
the public should take advantage of the
| temporary decline.
1T has been said that certain freight
rates are exorbitant. 1t is true that
some of the rates from certain points
are almost high enough to be prohib-
tive. vet the practice is not different
from that in other parts of the country
and to one familiar with shipping lum-
Der the railroad rates charged in the
west do not appear too high
