COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM
CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL

Miss Edith Smith. 10 years old daugh-
ter of President Joseph F. Smith was
contemplating enrolling in the Vacation
school. in order that she might enter the
high school next September. She had
to be convinced that the diplomas issued
by the association would be accepted at
the high school and that if she did the
work as planned by the Y. NJ. c. A. she
should have covered the work of the
eighth grade in nine weeks, but there
was one other objection.
What kind Of graduation exercises do
you have?" she asked. OH she ex-
claimed, when she was informed that
none had been provided in the course
Papa says>I may attend, but if you do
not have commencement, / should
rather graduate next winter
Educational Director J. Gustav White,
four public school principals and the
five women eighth grade teachers com
posing the faculty of the Vacation school,
who planned the course. who omitted the
graduation exercise. and who should have
known better are now busily engaged in
preparing an elaborate commencement
program and entertainment. The pro-
gram provides for pretty white dresses
flowers, speeches by famous men, music
and a general good time.
The Vacation school of the Y. NJ c A
commences at $50 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. With the exception of the details
of the commencement exercises. all the
preparations have been completed. The
association has gone to considerable eX-
pense to arrange the class room for
complete separation of the classes and an
abundance Of light.

WOULD RESTORE
LAND TO ENTRY
Utah County Residents to Ad-
dress Petition to State Dele
gates in Washington.
1T LIES ON UTAH LAKE
WAS WITHDRAWN I'M 1895 FOR
RESERVOIR PURPOSES.

Headed by James Glove of Provo and
A. J. Evans of Lehi. the residents Of
Utah county in that section bordering
on Utah lake are preparing a petition
to the forwarded to Utah's delegation
at Washington, asking that land on the
lake front, which was set aside from
entry in 1895, be restored to public en-
try, as the purpose for which it was
withdrawn can never be realized. and
that 1t is valuable for ether purposes
In the year 1895 a large area OF land.
all of which had a shore line on Utah
lake, was set aside by the department
of the interior to be used by the govern
ment reclamation service. 1t was the
plan at that time to establish a large
reservoir on this ground for the pur-
pose of irrigating farming land lying
between Provo and Salt Lake City.
Preliminary surveys were made for the
reservoir, but other than this no work
has been done, and during the last
thirteen years many acres of land has
been lying idle and is of no value to
any one under the present conditions.
The land in question lies in most part
off the western shore of the lake and Is
in a most desirable location for summer
homes. According to Mr.. Glove, it
would be impossible to use this land as
a reservoir site. as 1t is much higher
than the ground on the east, and to
run water onto the land on the west
would put the city of Provo under
water.
The west shore of Utah lake, for Il
distance of many miles. is a level, sandy
beach and level country behind. There
are no swamps on this portion of the
lake, and property around that which
is being withheld for entry is now
booming. Several Salt Lake men have
purchased property in the near vicinity
with the intention of erecting summer
homes. The property is within an
hours run from Salt Lake City, and the
ideal fishing places of the lake are in
close proximity.
Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Glove were in the
city yesterday and spent several hours
at the United States land office seCuT-
ing data on the land. A petition win
be made up from the citizens of Utah
county and forwarded to Washington,
asking that the land be released and
thrown open for entry again.

COURT TO DECIDE
SUPERIORITY OF RACE

Annie Kunkel of German nationality,
is suing John T. Green. an Englishman,
for $1,000 in the district court for dam
ages for having pinched her arm black
and blue and otherwise assaulted her on
June 10 last She says he also struck her
on the breast. arms and shoulders and
shook her until she feared for her life.
The dispute between the pair arose from
= discussion OF the merits of the Anglo
Saxon and TeutOnic races, each asserting
all kinds of superiority. The i'll feeling
became so aggravated that at one time
there was a mix-up which ended in free
for-all neighborhood fight, followed by
police court hearing.
Green at that time caused the arrest Of
Mrs. Kunkel. but at the trial was himself
shown to have been. the aggressor. After
her victory In the police court Mrs. Kun
kel brought the whole row into the dis
trict court. where one of the four judges

the Needs.

Jesse D. Jewkes, state auditor, and his
deputies, are engaged upon old bounty
certificates. of which there are many on

PROPERTY ESCAPES
THXATION THROUGH
PECULIAR HISTORY
Fifth East HOTEL Built as Home for Plural Wives and
Never Occupied as Such Has Paid No Taxes for
Ten YearS-May Be PenaIized.

Salt Lake county has not been getting
what it is entitled to in the way of taxes.
That much property in this county has
escaped assessment for one reason or
another is notorious; usually it has been
the lax way in which the office of the
assessor has been administered.
Recently there has come to light the
fact that, in addition to the ordinary
method of beating the tax collector TO
II, at least one property owner of this
city has taken advantage of d situation
Home for Plural Wives.
When the manifesto of the Mormon
church was issued, declaring in substance
that there should be no more plural mar
riages and the consequent designation by
men who had plural wives of one to be
known as the legal wife the question
came forward:
And what is to become of the women
who have entered the state of plural wives
IN good faith and in accordance with their
religious beliefs? ManifestlV thew can
not all be selected as the legal wives
Then the government authorities con-
ceived the idea of providing a refuge for
the plural wives, or as many of them
who desired TO take advantage of the op-
portunity With this object in view, the
government erected a handsome hotel
building at 1s5 South Fifth East street.
known as the Fifth East hotel. This
building was the governments contribu-
ton toward the cause; the people of Utah
then the commission form of govern
ment was in force-were to provide for
its maintenance.
So far as it is recalled no plural wife
ever awaited herself of the home. and the
object for which the hotel was built was
defeated.
Ten years ago, more or less, the prop
erty was transferred by the government
TO c B. TitcOmb, the present owner and
proprietor. Although enjoying possession
of the property, and receiving the benefit
Of the protection the laws afforded. Mr..
TitcOmb never paid taxes. When he was
asked about the matter of taxation, he

ords, which indicated, and do still indi-
