OLD LANDMARK
IS BEING RAzEO
Rabbit House Comes Down to
Make Room for Big I'M
prOVementS.

To make room for a fine grass lawn
in the work of identifying the Oregon
Short Line grounds, another old land
mark, the Rabbit house, at the north
east corner of the square on which
stands the new passenger station, is
being rapidly razed
John T. Game states that, according
to his best recollection, the Rabbit
house was erected in 1852, a two-story,
adobe brick, with two wings, made
from hand-hewn timbeTs and hand
made nails. General Superintendent
John Sharp had his offices there, where
many important meetings of the Off
Gals and directors of the old Union
Pacific, Utah Central and Utah South
ern were held, these roads being at
that time included in the Gould inter
ests.
Dan s. Spencer, now assistant gen
eral passenger agent OF the Oregon
Short Line, began his career there as
an office boy, while II, s, Young, now
cashier of the Deseret National bank,
James Sharp, Francis Cope and other
well known citizens OF the city were
once employed there.
The Rabbit house was built by
Secretary of State Alvin Rabbit. who
was afterward killed by the Indians.
1t had for many years been used for
railroad offices.

KIDS HAVE TROLLEY RIDE
Seven Carloads of Members of First
Presbyterian Sunday School
See City's Sights.

Teachers and pupils of the First
Presbyterian church Sunday school
made an unique combination of bust
ness and pleasure yesterday when they
composed a special trolley party of
seven cars that took in the usual sight
seeing tour of Salt Lake City. The out
ing was primarily to amuse the chill
dren, but the officers of the Sunday
school saw an ingenious opportunity to
advertise that institution.
At 2:2O o'clock Commandant F. H.
Billings marshaled all the teachers and
pupils in front of the church. The
very little folk were put in autos and
taken to the car barns. The others
marched with due military precision.
At the car barns Superintendent
Thomas Weir and Assistant Superin-
tendent Prof George Sweazey made
brief addresses and then the trip was
begun. Each car was labeled with
some advertisement for the Sunday
school. The first car displayed the
legend, First Presbyterian Sunday
school at 1890" The next car was
placarded with the invitation, Come
and See" Other cars bore similar
verbal lures for more Sunday school
pupils.
The trip was completed without the
slightest accident and everyone voted
it a most successful outing. During
the progress Of the cars through the
business streets they attracted much
attention.

SOME FEATURES
NOT So BRIGHT
Crop Predictions Are Now
MULTIPLICATION Yield Is
Disappointing.

Business generally is picking up as
the result Of a greater volume Of
money being put into the channels Of
trade, coming from the sales Of sheep
and farm products. Local money con-
ditions remain about the same as a
week ago; clearings continue in graft
flying excess over the figures Of the
corresponding period OF last year
According to the last circular letter
Of Henry Clews, the cotton weld is
proving distinctly disappointing, and it
is necessary III the instances of the
grain crops to slightly modify predic-
tons made earlier in the season that
record-breaking yields were to be gath
cred from the grain fields of the west
Instead of a three bilIiOn-busheI corn
crop, the governments ngures prOmul-
gated on Wednesday now suggest a
yield Of 2,649.000, 600 bushels, or slight
ly below the harvest of 1908. The gov
ernments wheat figures suggest a yield
of 714,300,000 bushels, or $4,000. 900
bushels above the 1908 harvest, but we'll
below the yields of 1906 and 1901
The wealth produced by the agricuI-
tuTal section will therefore be well
above the average. but they viii not
furnish incentive for ill-CUnsidered and
spectacular prosperity talk"

Man, but of Excellent
Character.

Logan, Sept. 1g.-AIbert NJ. Baker Of
Mendon was not a public man. but a
man of good character and loved by all

angel came.

Mormon elders and, Joining the Nor
mons, he soon left for NauvOO, and but
a mere boy, he suffered with the Saints
through the hardships of those days, his
mother dying at MOntrose, near Nau-
VOC, when ne was but years Of age.

Winter Quarters, ne left with q strong
hearted band OF emigTants TO look for
a land ofrefuge in the far west, landing
in the salt Lake valley in the summer

among men in fighting the Indians and
going through the suferings required

self while working. All the large tim
bers in the basement of that structure
were gotten out of the canyon by this
man, also he helped to build all the
temples in Utah with the labors of his
own hands. He was in this valley in
1853 with the church herd, and becom-
ing in love with the valley before there
was a house or white man in it, he
vowed to return and make this most
beautiful valley his future home. He
had always told his family that this
valley was a choice spot In Gods vine
yard, and 90 always love it. To estab-
lisE the merits Of this good mans char
acter, to his memory is left two loving

NEW ENGLAND
MAN INVENTOR
MADE RORSELESS CARRIAGE
OVER FORTY YEARS AGO
Was Forbidden to Run Machine on
Public Highway. but Predicted
Streets Would Be Free to
Them in His Day

Enos M. Clough, one OF the most
maker of the first horseless carriage
in Vermont and probably in New
England He is now 75 years of age,
and he began tinkering on a little
carriage when he was a mere boy.
He began on the pattern of his
horseless carriage forty years ago. lie
worked for fourteen years on his in
vention, and when ii was completed
he was in Sunapee. He was an en-
ploye as machinist in the railroad
shops at st. Johnsbury for many
years, and when the carriage WAS
completed he propelled it under its
own steam from Sunapee, N. H., to
st. Johnsbury, Vt, where it was eX-
hibited at the farmers fair. Mr.
Clough went from there with his
motor to Lisbon. Lancaster and Ian
daft and thence to Lakeport, then
called Lake Village.
Mr.. Cloughs friends made sport of
his idea of a horseless carriage, but
the invention was a success and op-
Grated all right, though with some
noise The carriage contained when
completed 5463 pieces, and was named
the Fairy Queen"
At the time that he completed his
invention Mr.. Clough predicted that he
would live to see the streets full of
horseless carriages, a prediction Whlch
has been abundantly verified He ala
not make a business of working on
this invention, but simply used his
snare time In the meantime ne
worked as mechanic on the Concord
division of the Boston & Maine rail-
road besides his work at ST. Johns
bury.
Although his invention was really
success il was rather cumbersome, an0
il frightened horses so that Mr.. Clough
was forbidden to run it on the publc
highway. He became discouraged on
this account. and sold the carriage to
Richard Cove of Lake Village (noW

the machine one day. when ne struch

mechanic on the railroad, and now
calls often to see his nephew John Q.
