SMALLPOX SANITATION AND

The death rate for Utah during the

AMERICANS MAY
GO TO STOCKHOLM
But There Will Be No Team at
Athenian Olympic
Games.

New York, July 29,-There is very
little talk In International athletic
circles just now about the Athenian
Olympic games next spring at Athens.
and the outlook is that il there are TO
be Americans at the meet they or their
clubs will have 10 bear the expenses.
No move has been made by the Olym-
pic committee here to get up n team,
and this Is not to be wondered at
when it is remembered that they had
hard job TO collect the money for
the trip TO England last year and TO
Greece in 1906,
To resume the game of money gath

about, and at the best II is but a
thankless undertaking Then again
there will be the regular Stockholm
and no doubt America will have a team
there, and It's organization and prepar-
alton Will be plenty of work for those
interested for the next three years.
Trip to Athens Expensive.
Coupled with coming so near last
years big trip there is another item of
objection to the Grecian trip. and that
is the extra expense There IS q diff
ference of about $500 less per man

1906 there was an expense of about
$4,000 for 81 men. Moro than 30 men

THOUSANDS DRAWN TO
THE PARK.
(MornIng EXaminer.l

On a day this week the rush of
sight-seerS 10 the Yellowstone was SO
unprecedented that the Oregon Short
Line was forced to suspend the sale
of tickets to the park in order to al
low the crowds at the hotels to de-
crease before sending in more gues,s.
This gives some idea of the growing
popularity OF the national wonderland
as an attraction for tourists.
The building of the Oregon Short
Line to the edge of the park has made
possible a trip through the land of
wildwood and strange phenomena
without discomfort, and. as a result,
thousands from all over the United
States and even from distant lands
are availing themselves of the oppor.

There is much bloodshed. Artillery

The city Is terror-stricken. The rev.

King Alfonso fastened back to Mad

sued a decree providing martial law
and suspension of the constitutional
guarantees throughout Spain. Orders
have been given to the governors of
provinces TO crush the revolution at
any cost without hesitation and with

Today marks black chapter in the
history OF Spain. for there was tragedy
both at home and abroad, The army
at Melllla had a bloody battle with
the Moors which. though the victory
was won by the Spaniards. cost the
lives of twenty-onc officers and 200

lars in cash in reserve.
Next the Glasmann administration
spent on an average of $4,000 per
year In macadamizing and improving
the streets Of Ogden without taxing
the people for the same and paid Tor
1t all. Look at the streets of Ogden
today, Is there an automobillst or
horseman in ogden who is proud of
the city's streets? How many side
walk crossings has the present city
administration put In? How many
blocks has the present city govern
mcnt macadamIzed without taxing
the people for It? The Glasmann ad-
ministration did miles of this wori,
without raising the taxes one cent.
The Glasmann administration never
sent out statement showing a profit
of S2l 900 in any department which, as
with the present city government,
actually lost $4,000.
