BENEFIT TO THE TOWN
BY OSCAR L. cox,
Secretary Y. NJ. g. A.

From n literary standpoint. / have
serious doubt whether the Great Salt
Lake Mystery story OF The Tribune
Will ever rank SO :. classic. To dictate
at the fag end of busy day a story
which goes to the press direct from n
stcnographer without having seen it is
not conducive TO literary elegance. This
was probably the necessary experience
of more than one OF the contributors,
whose friendship foY The Tribune
caused some of us to be indiscreet
enough to take hand.
On the other hand, if there is any
thing in the world that Salt Lake needs
it is a frequent training rehearsal in
the art of pulling together. Benefit
will come to our town whenever mum

Of divergent views and creeds. unite i'll

Whenever we can have a civic task
done by eighteen volunteer people
which otherwise would he accomplished
by one. we have. 10 some extent. bene-
fitted the town by widening acduaint-
anceships and cultivating the spirit OF
cooperation. Herre's to The Tribune
may she get eighteen times rs many
people interested in matters of civic
welfare That is the ratio of the story.
The work itself may not he any bet
ter done. probably not as we'll; but from
the public s standpoint. YOU will have
rendered great service by creating ne.
tive sentiment and by spreading. in
formation on civic Subjects. Anything
in which the people Of our splendid city
largely ioin in is well worth while, If
for no other reason than for the prac-
ticc which il gives us in the beautiful
art of being noigbbors and civic
partners

BY CHARLES S. PULVER.

The Salt Lake Mystery is worthy OF
q place in the Literature of the state.
Except the chapters in which have had
q pencil. II has been Of much benefit
in discovering and developing latent
ability and has demonstrated that there
are some people, excepting the writer,
who have quick-actine brains and the
eapacity of placing their thoughts aud
reductions on paper. The interest which
has been developed during the prog
fess of the story has demonstrated the
rigor of the work of the collaborators,
md while the story has seemed u lit
tlc dislointed at times, it has never lost
its hold on the readers of The Tribune,
They have followed the rapidly chang
ing situations, the Kaleidoscope trans
Jerring of the locations of the plot and
play rs closely as they would the trail
f five-act drama. and the climaXes
have always made them SIT up and take
hotice. Personally | have enioyed all

Enthuscd over his own part
of the story, he naturally
figures how it should run. The
characters are analyzed, situa-
tions conceived and the plot
in fancy rounded TO salts
factory end. But the sue
ceedlng chapters, sweeping
into unexpected complications,
cddies and different channels
of thought, play havoc with
his own conception of the
taIe--for no two people think
alike. This variance of liter

complex fact.
Certainly the idea was
clever, novel and the entire

happy feature and created ey-
traordinary interest through
out the city.
