Stands Unique in History.

Fisher Harris stands unique in the his
tory of the west. Without money OF fl
nancial backing, OF any power but that
of his own wonderful personality and re-
markable brain, he became an empire
builder in the truest sense. Every ex-
tensive plan for the upbuilding of Utah
and Salt Lake had Fisher Harris at the
bottom of II. He conceived the "Wizard
OF the Wasatch" idea, one that is likely
to do great good to the state He told
the board of governors of the Commercial
club how they could build a new home,
and invented the plan for the raising of
the necessary funds. He made Of the
Commercial club statewide organiza-
ton, solidly united for the single purpose
of building up the state, and, incidentally,
the west. Never more than moderately
supplied with money himself, he prob
ably wrought greater riches for the COM
munty, both Industrial and otherwise,
than any man of money in the state.
He was born near Norfolk, Virginia, of
an old southern family, Sept IS, 1865. His
schooling was gotten from the country
schools of his home village, and later he
attended the University of Virginia Be
fore finishing his studies he came west,
and was appointed clerk to the quarter
master at Fort Sheridan, near Cheyenne,
Wyoming, when only Is years old. A
year later he went to Denver as clerk of
the St. James hotel, where Gus Holmes,
since his lifelong friend, found him and
brought him out to Salt Lake as clerk of
the old Continental hotel. Mr.. Harris was
then q years old. A year later the Knuts-
ford hotel was opened, and Mr.. Harris
went in as clerk, which position he held
for twelve consecutive years.
Seven years ago he organized the Com
mercial club and q year later accepted
| the nomination of city treasurer on the
Democratic ticket, and, as he often put
it, with the understanding that he was
not to be elected 1t was another instance
of the power Of personality over every
| thing else. He had already won his way
to the hearts of ali Salt Lakers, and q
| landslide in his direction was the result.
For two years during the administration
of Mayor Richard Morris he fulfilled the
duties of treasurer, leaving the office with
/ an honorable record.
Building Salt Lake.
The last five years Of his life Mr.. Har-
| ris devoted entirely to the building up
Of Salt Lake. Through him and his sill
/ ver-tOngued eloquence, all America came
/ to know that Salt Lake existed He spoke
| at every important gathering III the west,
/ and always his theme was Salt Lake City,

MEETING TO Be
IMPORTANT ONE
Gathering of County Sunday
School Workers at lillian
This Week.
GOOD TALKS TO BE HEARD
President II. r. Van Duzer Issues an
Appeal for a Full At
tendance.

III. E. Van DuZer, president of the
Rock Island County Sunday School as
ISOLATION, has issued the following in
reference to the convention the pres
ent week at Milan:
THE Rock Island County Sunday
School convention. to be held Thurs
day and Friday, Oct. Ia and Is of this
week at Milan. promises to be one If
the most interesting and important in
our history. We never have had .
stronger appTg CATION of workers and
speakers than are represented on this
program.
Subjects of the greatest Importance
to teachers and officers will be dis
cussed at this convention. and none
can afford to miss it. Nothing has oc-
CURED in So years that means so much
to the Sunday school depar ment Cf
the church as the new graded system,
and every school in the county >Gouid
know about it and adopt it. II VIZ ra
thoroughly discussed by Mrs. Marion

Superintendent and His Work. ..r'
Another important topic, iaSThe
Modern SuperintaadSnt and His
Work. will be taken up FAis sabjs1t
will be presented by Rev. f, e. Shut
1t would have the tendency 10 regener-
ate a number of our Sunday school
superintendent in our county to hear
this great question ventilated. They
would wake up TO the fact that they
should keep up to the times in their
work, and keep up their work in the
schools, or else step down and out.
This discussion will be practically
a review of the great speech made BY
Mr.. Pepper of Memphis, Tenn. at the
state convention. The chief drawback
to our Sunday schools today is the dead
weight they are carrying in the way IF
indifferent officers and teachers, an l
these officers and teachers are invari-
ably those who are never seen at
county Sunday school convention All
teachers and officers need instruction
and Inspiration, and the place where
they can get both is at the county
convention. Show me a live teacher
or superintendent and l will show yon
one who never misses a Sunday school
convention of any kind that it is pos
sible for him or her to attend.
Convenient to Cities.
THE place of holding the conven-
ton this year is very close to the
cities, namely. at Milan. and everybody
interested in the Sunday school worH
should be there.

Alderman Frick offered a resolution,
which was adopted, ordering that the
recently adopted increases in the
water rate schedule be enforced in
the collection of rentals beginning the
first of next month. The raise in the
rates, however, affects the larger con
Sumers only.

ditioual equipment had been installed
with the consent of the council. It
was suggested that in all likelihood the

several fire call stations that were
maintained in the different depart
ments of the works.

Enforcing PeddIcrs' Ordinance.
Alderman EIlinwoOd said he saw a
peddler during last week who did not
have a license. Another alderman
came hack at Alderman Elliuwood by
stating that he had met four peddlers
without license doing business in one
day in the Seventh ward. Alderman
EIlinwood was asked why he did not
arrest those whom he found violating
the law; that he had the authority to
do so. Il know | have" replied the

Resources Getting Low.

The $C0,0C0 borrowed from the city
banks short time ago has been near
ly all expended, and it was necessary
last evening to order the payment of
$50, representing several small &C
counts which should be credited to
other funds, which have been exhaust
ed, from the contingent fund. In this
connection Alderman Blochlinger adj
vocated appointment of a special COM
mittee to investigate the financial af-
fairs of the city and 10 devise ways
and means of temporarily replenishing
the eXchequer, at least 10 the extent
OF meeting immediate demands. The
mayor did not think there was any
pressing need OF such action, and the
city clerk reminded the council that
it could not expect further assistance
from the banks. inasmuch as the prom
Use had been given that the 100000
loan was all that would be asked this
year. Alderman Rlochlinger did not
insist on his motion, and the mayor
and the clerk stated that they would
keep the council posted, with the as
sistance of the finance committee, on
the condition of the municipal re-
sources from time to time. Alderman
Utke reported lack of equipment for
the members of the fire department,
and offered motion ordering the pur-
chase of service coats and boots, the
cost of which would be about $3.50. He
said that the department members
were in 10 condition, without these
protectors, to fulfill their duties es-
pecially in cold weather. The mayor
suggested that if the expenses of the
department were exceeding the avail
able funds. a reduction in the force
could be made Alderman Utke OBJ
jected to a curtailment of the number
of men, stating that there were no
more members on the department than
were needed to give the taxpayers the
protection that they were entitled to.
The service coats and boots were or
dered purchased.

Police Protection in West End.


During the labor troubles at the
Rock Island Pillow company plant Pc
| liceman David Fitzgerald has been as
signed to that section of the city on
day duty, spending most of his time in
the vicinity of the pillow works. This
was on the instructions of the mayor.
who is acting chief of police. Alder.
man Utke protested against the officer
giving so much attention TO private
property and neglecting the property
of the other taxpayers on his beat
He said that the people of that sec
ton of the city had complained to
him, and that if they were not given
the protection they were entitled to.
there would be a petition before the
council. The mayor explained the sit
uation at the pillow works. stating that
he had refused to swear in special
officers to guard private property. He
accepted responsibility for the assign
ment of Policeman Fitzgerald, and did
not feel that the other people of the
west end beat were suffering by rea-
son of the officer giving especial at
tention TO the pillow company works.
He produced the daily report sheet
showing that the policeman had report
ed from other call boxes than the one
at the pillow company. A resolution by
Alderman Utke. ordering that the off,
Ger report from all boxes on his beat,
was adopted The fire and light com
mittec, on the motion of the same aid
crman. was instructed to investigate
the equipment of tho call box at the
pillow company and report at the next
meeting of the council The city cleo
trician said the box was the private
of the company. Alderman
Utke differed with him, and said he
wanted to know the character of the
call arrangement and whether the. ad-
