peCted to Stop Here Each
Day This Week.

over to the Elks and their visiting
guests. The buildings of the resort and
the boats on the lake will be a mass Of

cial program of spectacular feats will
be given, the big feature Of which will
be the Elks' aerial ballet.

friends will go to Los Angeles as guests
of the Los Angeles lodge at the big re-
! union. In a big special train, which
Irwill leave Salt Lake next Friday even
ing, the Elks and their friends will
leave the tOrridity Of Salt Lake for the
cooling breezes of the Pacific. The

on wheels. The salt Lake Route is
taking an especial pride i'm this train.
and hopes to make it the big advertise
ment Of the route. For this reason the
train will be run to satisfy every want
of the passenger and will probably be
q financial loss to the mana cement. It
will consist Of six splendidly equipped
Pullmans. an observation car, a diner
and d buffet car. In the buffet car the
Salt Lake lodge of Elks has planned a
delightful treat for those who make the
trip with them. There to the patrons
of the train cooling refreshments will
be served all the way to the coast with
out charge.
All along the way the best engineers
and train crews and the best locOmo-
tives have been assigned as relays for
this train. with instructions to give this
train their best efforts. As result the
train is scheduled TO make the trip
from Salt Lake to Los Angeles in less
than twenty-five hours.

mining and was successful. Some Of
his best properties were near Park
City, he having sold some very rich
claims there during the last years of
his life. Feeling the necessity of max

Williams wrote were all returned. ex-
