Truth and
Quality

appea, to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
l>xatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co, only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

PARK SURROUNDING ENSIGN PEAK
PROJECT OF ALLURING POSSIBLE TIES

Greater Salt Lake should have a pub
lie park not too far from the center of
the city. and the land around Ensign
peak should be the location selected
This is the emphatic opinion of both
Fisher Harris. secretary of the CONNER
cial club. and of Lon J. Haddock secre-
tary of the Manufacturers and Merchants
association.
1T has been the dream of my life to
see great public park laid out with
Ensign peak as its CENTER. said Mr.. Har-
ris yesterday. Some of the land about
the peak. l believe. is still government
property and could easily be acquired. A
park there would be convenient to the
center of the city and the land could be
made very beautiful. Salt Lake is grow
ing rapidly and no time should be lost
in securing such a city park. before
spreading buildings shoulder their way
into the coveted territory and this great
opportunity slips away.
Ensign peak and the picturesque
ground about it could be made into a
park that would win a reputation for
beauty all over the country. | think that
the park project could be carried out at
a cost of about 100000. 1t would be an
investment that Salt Lake would never
regret. In years to come, when the city
doubles in size, the park around Ensign
peak would be breathing place for those
who wished TO slip away for short time

NEW FACTORY FOR OGDEN
Utah Spray Manufacturing Company
to Build Plant at
Once.

There has been formed in Ogden COM
pany to be known as the Utah Spray
Manufacturing company. The new COM
pany has a capital stock of $4,000. At
the plant to be established at once will
be manufactured arsenate of lead. lime
and sulphur solution, soluble oil and 9TH
er insecticides for the spraying OF fruit
trees. Sheep dip. made according TO the
formula demanded by the British gov
eminent in dipping sheep in Australia.
Will also be included.
The organizers of the new company as
sert that ever since fruit growing be-
came an industry in Utah. Idaho and
the western states. it has been necessary
for the growers and dealers to purchase
their spraying materials in Boston. New
York and other eastern cities. paying a
high rate of freight on it. 1t is claimed
that the new concern can manufacture
spraying materials Just as good and
sell them to the growers at a consider
ably reduced price.

UNOPENED LETTER COMES
TO LIGHT IN FILE CASE

the office of j. b. Moreton, city record -,
an interesting discovery was made in the
form of unopened letter containing a
money odder for 81 sent by S. G. Lewis of
Holyoke, Col, to c. G. Clapper of Sa'S
Lake. The letter found its way to ]. -.
NysIrom. city recorder. and has a file
stamp it of March TO- 1903. 1t appears
that Clapper was a corporal in Battery
b of the Utah Light Artillery during the
Spanish war. and Nystrom was also con-
nected with that organization. Lewis de-
sired pension and sent the money or
der, together with an affidavit to be
signed by Clapper as to his disability.
Clapper never claimed the letter. An eff
fort will be made to locate Lewis, so that
he can secure his money.
