In spite of the warm weather there
is no abatement of the popularity Of
the evening hood. which is an ideal
head covering for girls flying about
in motor cars to parties. To be both
unitarian and picturesque is recon-.

merit, for they admirably keep the

Fine Pyrotechnie Display.
After good rest, the city's guests
all turned out again this evening and
witnessed the magnificent display of
fireworks on the top of Ensign peak.
This peak lies Immediately north of
the city and is the highest point of the
Wasatch mountains, rising 1,200 feet
higher than Temple square. The Ply.
rotechnic display is a mighty feature
of the encampment week.
Salt Lake City has thrown open her
arms to the old soldiers, and never
has the Grand Army been more en-
Enthusiastically received or more gener.
ously entertained than at this en-.
campment. Many thousands of the
veterans and their families and men,
bers of all the organizations allied to
the Grand Army have participated in
the exercises and entertainments, and
are unanimous in their praise of the
treatment they have received.
Well Managed Encampment.
The old soldiers have been very
carefully looked after by the local
committee on public comfort and pri-
vate accommodations, and at the "a
information bureaus at the various
railway stations and convenient. places
about the city. During the entire, time
of the encampment these committees
have had the services of 300 high
school cadets, whose duties have been
to render every possible assistance to
the visitors
Henry M. Nevius, the commander-in.
chief, arrived here Saturday with his
staff and inspected the arrangements.
On Sunday the city's guests began ar
irving by the thousand, and on Mon
day they came in so fast that the COM
mittee had to work like sailors to get
them all housed in such a manner as
to avoid congestion in any part of the
city.
Big Greetings" Meeting.
Monday evening came the first pub
lie event on the program-a great
campfire in the assembly hall in the
Temple grounds. All that night and
throughout Tuesday the stream of ar
rivals continued, but by Tuesday
evening practically all the visitors had
been received and distributed. That
night the greatest function Of the en-
campment took place. This was the

and introduced William H. King of
Salt Lake City, who acted as tenn
porary chairman. He made a brief
address and was followed by Gov.
William Spry of Utah, Mayor John S.

in this instance. But when the time
arrived for the press to be erected
and the erector anne from the factory
to install the machine, young Boyd
was told to appoint some one in
his department to look after mat
ters, don his overalls and set
in to assist the erector in put
ting up the press. He obeyed
that order willingly. When the press
was ready for operation, very much
to the surprise of all, the mar who
had built the machine said to the
manager, DR.. Boyd, that Blaine was
competent to handle the machine.
So this young man, aside from con-
Quoting the affairs of his department,
operates this All-Size Press that has
a capacity of over 5000 Impressions

the machine one half day, and young

first quarter, 1910. The work was
done without a hitch, which speaks
volumes for this young man.
