PUBLIC COMFORT
w. P. COOPER, Chairman,

The public comfort committee has
done everything that it was asked to do.
It has contracted for fourteen accom-
mediation booths, which have been erect
ed on the principal streets at convenient
intervals and under the grand stands.
These places have been constructed I'M
der the supervision of the building in
spectOr and the health department of
the city government, and are sanitary
in every way.
We started out TO arrange for the
erection Of dozen sanitary drinking
fountains, but the city took that off
our hands and has installed nine of the
fountains, or will have by Monday
morning. They are of the latest pat
tern and will be a permanent improve
ment. w. p. COOKER.

ADJUSTMENTS
ISIS HoPKINs.n

As the Colonial theatre last night a
large audience waited until a late
hour for the appearance OF Rose Mel
vile and company in isis Hopkins"
the playgOing public is remarkable.
Owing to a delay of the train which
brought the company from Denver T. z
performance did not begin until 9-A0.
but when the curtain rose nearly all
holders OF tickets were in their seats.
This is still more remarkable when 1t
is considered that probably half of the
audience had laughed and wept with
isis HOPKINS many times before.
1t Is yhe sort of play that does not
grow old It is full OF human interest
and of human joys and sorrow. 1t
did not need new Wftticfsms to fresh
en- il up. The hOmely sayings that
ring true are those the people love.
As at every performance during the IL
years that this play has appeared sis
was vigorously applaUded for saying
"There amt no sense in doing moth
ing for nobody that amt never done
nothing for you," and my ma made
1t, What Is good enough for her to
make is good enough for me to wear"
Also, i don't like to hear nobody say
nothing about anybody behind their
backs" These and other sentiments
of their kind express sincerity and
genuine feeling and they are the quail
tiles that give this delightful comedy
its never failing popularity
With one or two exceptions the COM
pa1y producing the play is good. Rose
Melville is more than ever the isis"
Of happiest remembrance. She wins
applause and laughter and tears. Next
in excellence is the PA Hopkins" Of
George H. Maxwell. He was excep-
tionally good in the last act, when he
pOrtTays the old man whose mind is
deranged owing to an accident. Other
roles acceptably taken were those OF
Ma Hopkins and Obadiah Odlum. isis"
Hopkins will run the remainder of the
week at the Colonial, with the usual
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.

DYNAMITE ICE.
Attempt Being Made to Avoid An
other Avalanche in Ogden
Canyon.
(speeiaI b - Herald-RepublIean.)

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Ogden, Dec. 27.-Climbing by a dan
gerous route up the ice-clad cliffs
of ogden canyon, where the great
avalanche wrought such havoc a week
ago, two expert dynamiters, after care
fully drilling holes into the thickest
lOOsening from the mountain side q
large portion of the ice this after
noon. Owing to the difficulties and
dangers attached to the work, q Sec
Ond blast could not be set today and
large masses Of ice and snow still
cling 10 the rocks and make traffic
through the canyon a constant peril.
Ed Benson and Jack Callahan are
the daring miners who volunteered to
do the work of blasting, after fruit
less efforts of the county commission
ers to hire men willing to risk the
danger. It is estimated that there is
fully 500 tons of ice which viii have
to be removed in small quantities and
broken down from the mass so as to
prevent the entire glacier from crash
ing to the bottom of the canyon. The
work win be rushed, as the danger
ice to loose its hold, must be cOnsid-
cred.
For scenic beauty. Ogden canyon at
the site of the great avalanche is I'M
surpassed, and although the Ogden
Rapid Transit company lost several
thousand dollars through damages to
their bridge and rOadbed, they are
benefiting by a constant stream of
sightseers who crowd their cars still
in operation over the canyon line as
far as the sanitarium.

TWO SCORE CASES OF
SMALLPOX IN FAIR WEST

Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.
Ogden, Dec. 27.-Nearly 40 cases Of
smallpox are under quarantine at Har-
risville and Farr West, suburbs of Og-
den. To consider more adequate meas
ures for the prevention of further
spread of the disease, the county com
missioners met in special session this
morning DR.. J, ID. Pidcock county
physician. reported that there had been
so wide an exposure as to make it
practically impossible TO place an eff
Iectual quarantine over the exposed
homes. Two new cases were reported
today from Farr West, and with each
case there has been widespread expos
ure. Cases reported at the time of the
first outbreak are gradually being re-
leased from quarantine, the disease be-
ing Of the mildest form known.
It was decided at the meeting to

long run at the Knickerbocker theatre

Messrs. Blossom and Herbert have again
gone to Paris for the atmosphere of this
musical piece, just as they did in Mile
MOdiste." Mile Athenee meets with an
accident while aUtOmObiling, and she
takes refuge in a little cafe chantant in
the outskirts of Paris. She hears the
musical director berating a sick soprano

young lieutenant from the neighboring
barra cks falls in love with her. and she
is insulted by his captain. This is the
basis of the plot. Mr.. Dillingham; has

ira win be largely augmented for the en-
gagement here. The sale Of seats opens

RECEPTION FOR HARRY LAUDER.

ARRANGEMENTS were concluded yesterday
to give a rOusing reception to Harry Lau-
der, the great scotch comedian, VINO ap-
pears in concert at the tabernacle after
noon and evening of Wednesday, January
8. Mayor John s. BransfOrd will receive
the ScOtChman at the city and county
building during the morning of January g,
and viii make him welcome to the city
1t is expected that the mayor will call
upon Lauder in his private car at the
depot. The Thistle club, the local organ
izatiOn of Scotch, is planning to give
Lauder merry time, and Nicholas Hood,
president of the club, will go to Ogden to
meet The comedian, and accompany MIN
to Salt Lake.
Rumors were about yesterday that
William Morris, to whom Lauder is IN
der contract, had decided to play him in
the Shubert theatre here, and cancel the
tabernacle contract. These were dispelled
by j. +. Won, manager in advance of the
Lauder company, VINO said that Mr.. Lau-
der and the company with him positively
would appear at the tabernacle on the
date fixed, and that there would be no
change in the arrangements
With Mr.. Lauder will appear the Mar
imba band, a troupe of Central American
boys who perform on a most peculiar in
strument, the like Of which has never
before been seen here, and the music pro-
duCed has an indescribabie charm that
cannot be adequately described even by
the most expert musicians. There are
five Guatemalan boys in the troupe all
brothers. The instrument upon which
they perform is called a ''Marimba," and
is the only one of its kind before the pub
lie. 1t was built by the father Of the boys,
who is quite a musical genius He taught
them to play when they were children,
and when they made their first public
appearance in their native country two
of them were so small they were obliged
to stand on stools in order to play prop
ertly. They have appeared in public in
a great many of the Latin-AmeriCan
countries. and have won medals Of merit
In their picturesque native costumes they
present a striking appearance, and they
have attained a skill and memory that is

Drilling FOR OIL
NEAR MT. PLEASANT
Government Expert Declares
Flow Will Be Heavy From
Present indications.
Especial to The Herald-Republican.)

tSpeclai 10 Ihe Hefalu-Repubilcan'y
Mt. Pleasant. Dec. I'll. F. McCroley
and his associates are showing a Won
derful tenacity IN their prospecting for
oil IN this vicinity. They are confident
that there is oil here in paying quanti-
ties and they are making every effort to
locate it. Having abandoned two pros
poets they have started a third and this
time, through the advice of a govern
ment expert, Mr.. Day, is prospecting on
the east side of the valley, while here
tofore he has confined himself to the
west side.
Mr. Day looked over the county a short
time ago and afterWard made the state
ment that oil exists here in paying guam
titles.
As a result men with teams have been
busy hauling the drilling apparatus to a
place about one mile north OF Mount
Pleasant to property belonging TO s. r.
Jensen Of this city, and no time will be
lost in getting development work done
on the new prospect.
Another interesting development in the
oil situation here is information concern
ing the discovery Of a flow of oil about
five barrels o day, by Christin Rasmus-
sen an old-time resident here. This dis
cOVery is reported to have been made a
few years ago in one of the canyons east
of here
