CITY OF SAINTS
HAS ABLE BOOSTER
President of Salt Lake Commercial
Club Says Utah Capital Is
Enjoying Rapid
Growth

w. j. Halloran, president of the Salt
Lake Commercial club and a promi-
nent banker and real estate broker OF
the City of Saints, arrived In Los An
geles yesterday and registered at the
Alexandria. Mr.. Halloran is here on
pleasure trip and will pass several
weeks visiting the numerous points or
interest throughout Southern Cali
fornia before returning to his home.
That Salt Lake will become one or
the principal cities of the west before
many more years pass is the opinion or
the banker. The Commercial club, he
says, is erecting a six-story building;
the ground is about to be broken for
the erection of a $1,000,000 hotel; sew
eral other large buildings are being
planned or erected; numerous CIVIC
improvements are under advisement,
and, in fact, the whole town is BOOM
ing.
salt Lake is advancing more rapid
ly than any other city in the United
States In proportion to it's population"
Halloran said. More has been done
there during the last three years in the
way of public improvements than has
been accomplished during any previ-
Gus twenty years. The population is
increasing at the rate of 10000 and
more each year, and we hope to have
200, 900 inhabitants by 1915.
Samuel Newhouse, the mining mag
nate, is about to begin the erection of
$1,000,000 hotel, which we believe will
be the finest in the west. The Com
mercial club of Salt Lake is building
six-story structure which will be occu-
pied exclusively To my knowledge we
will have the only commercial club in
the country which owns it's own build
ing. The building permits of the city
during last year totaled $5,O0O,0O0, and
from present indications this figure
will be considerably increased during
1909
1.-THE best of feeling for Los Angeles
exists in Salt Lake. We look upon this
city as a neighbor. We want the
friendship of Los Angeles.
1--WE feel that Salt Lake is the great
est little city in the world, and is be-
coming greater and larger each year.
The financial depression was hardly
noticeable. and had we not read SO
much about it, it is doubtful IL We
would have been aware of it's existence.
OF course, 1 will admit that we have
some boosters in Salt Lake, but am
sincere in what I say about the pro-
gressiveness and enterprise of the

Carolyn Harbaugh Turner. wealthy
widow OF Los Angeles.
The ceremony was performed in the

home in Chester place, she inherited q
fortune estimated at from sS,000.000 to
$4,000, 900. The groom, it is said, is also
possessed of means. The couple will

for an opportunity to get out unseen.
1t was a matter of general comment
around the hotel that he was about to

that he feared to pass through the

indicate that he was intending trip

Grisha Vishinevsky, a locksmith, who

begged the surgeons to aid him and he
struggled hard against death.

and his money dwindled to nothing.
The body was taken to the under

Fifty eight street, said that he utter

After having dined with a number of

The show closed about midnight
and Mr.. Collier was preparing to de-
scend the stairs from the third floor
when he was stricken. Those who
stood near him caught his falling body,
else it would have rolled down stairs.
Assisted by servants, members Of
the club carried the PROSTATE form to
a sofa and Dr. F. Ti1den Brown was
hastily summoned. After a brief ex-
animation DR.. Brown said that death
had been due to apoplexy.

notified and she fastened to the club
to make arrangements for removal of

previously been obtained. Robert ].

SORDID SMUGGLING.

Times were when the career of the
smuggler carried with it all the glamour
of romance The pebbly beach, the
moonless night, the signal upon the
headland, muffed oars, the whispered
command, Pull away, my hearties, -
the silent landing of the wine casks
and the bales of silk and lace, the click
of the horses hoof on the flint, a sud-
den rush of the excise men from their
concealment in the rocks, the cutting
loose of the horses, the flying escape,
and Dirck the smuggler is beyond pur-
suit. These were the concomitants of
the old-time drama. Those days are
no more. The tax-dodger is not a
picturesque figure. Smuggling has
dropped to a dead level of sordidness.
To say that smuggling is largely a wo-
man s offense is to advance an easily
maintained proposition. Dodging gov
eminent claims is not a matter of sex.
But mental attitudes differ. The male
smuggler is the more conscious offender
of the two. He will more readily admit
the force of the argument that revenue
must be raised for public expenses and
it may be to protect home industries,
likewise that it is only fair to tax OBJ
iects of luxury at a higher rate than
necessaries.-N. Y. World.

swINBURNE's ART.

Of the wonderful perfection of Swim
burne' s art, considered apart from his
subjects, a writer in the Bookman says:
We must recognize his metrical power,
his command of phrase and of the ca
denced line. Mr. Woodbury. says of the
separate syllables of the Swinburnian
verse:
They flash out in their fall what can
only be called color ofasound. This is
the peculiar and arresting poetic gift of
Swinburne, the lyrical iridescence of
the verse like mother-of- sea,
like a green wave breaking in tempest,
like a rainbow-spray before the beak
of his driving song; it is. a marvel that
changes but fails not, witchery Of
language, vocal Incarnation in the
rhymes, an enehantment in the mere
pour of sound and pause and elision.
