GUS HIRScHFIELD HERE-Gus
II Hirschfield returned yesterday for
Il stay of two or three weeks in PhOe
MA. He had a number of reasons for
hurrying back while the weather was
nice and warm, one being that he miss
ed last summer and reall. wanted to
get thawed out again. Another reason
was that he heard there were 90 he
stories in The Republican about dif-
n'onds and oil ficlGs, etc, and he
v5htcd to get in an the grouhd floor
He has a weakness for oil just now as
principal business is studying how he
can become millionaire by exploiting
the southern Utah oil fields. Salt
Lake City is headquarters, and he is
there most OF the time, but his invest
ments are in southern Utah. After
concluding his visit here he expects to
go to Chicago

SUMNER WIDoWER's SPECIAL
TODAY.-The summer widowers' spe-
cial, which makes the run from this
city to Iron Springs and Prescott every
Saturday during the summer season,
will leave this and every Saturday af-
ternoon at three O'Clock, city time,
with a number of pilgrims to the sum
mer homes of wives and families. The
new train fills popular demand and
/ is constantly growing in favor. There
have been a great number of the lone
some summer men of this city who
have long wished for an opportunity to
get away from the heat Of the valley
to the cool spots among the pines, but
who were unable to spare the time
from their business necessary to make

number who take the special.
