Mr.. and Mrs. Eldridge York, Of
Clarence township, returned Friday
night from a several weeks visit
back in York State. While in the east
they visited in New York City and
Brooklyn, Jersey City, etc.. and took
trip along the Hudson river. They
had delightful time and found
things a good deal different than they
we're q few years ago. The Kansas
people were looked upon as deserving
of pity, needing help, and all that sort
of thing. Now in the east when they
find one is from Kansas they look up
on them as people with all sorts Of.
cash to spend and every sort of in
vestment is offered. If the Kansas
farmer had to toll the way the farm
ers in New York do they would have
the greatest respect for a ten dollar
bill and they probably wouldn't take
the junketing trips they do now. The
Yoks came home so we'll satisfied with
Kansas and Barto ncounty that they
don't intend to move again until it is
the place where the overlooking
waters run and the streets are paved
with gold.

HOTEL KEEPERS
REAP HARVEST
Best Season Ever Known in
Salt Lake, Is BOnifaCeS'
Report.

Broad, expansive, Illuminating are the
smiles which the bonifaces Of the city
carry about with them these days, for
the entire summer and fall seasons
have been a harvest for them. Never
before in the history Of the city, so say
the hotel men, have visitors been so
plentiful, prosperous, generous. Hotel
Golfers and accommodations are full to
overlooking.
Travellers have come from every
where. On a single page OF the register
VIII be noted a Yankee from way down
east" and a Florida citizen. From the
sugar country a LOuisianan is regis
tered, and the line below contains the
name Of a Californian. The extreme
northwest, even during the Seattle fair,
sends visitors. They come, IL seems.
from the land Of everywhere.
Much of this travel" said a hotel
manager, rs due to the Seattle fair.
Very few who have attended that show
pass through without spending a few
days in the city. Most Of them stop
week. Then there have been the races,
the conference and the fair. The influx
from the territory tributary 70 the city
has been very large. The crops have
been good, the industrial conditions OF
the best. and these, combined with an
assurance of a continued increased
prosperity, have caused the inhabitants
of the intermountain country to spend
their money freely. Oh, it's been a fine
season 4"

STRANGERS WILL
Be ENTERTAINED
Club Is Organized to Assist
Newcomers in Salt
Lake.

Feeling the need of an organization to
introduce young men to the better side
of Salt Lake as soon as they arrive in
the city, and realizing that the lonesome
ness that attracts the stranger between
the time Of his arrival and the time when
he has been able to make a few suitable
acquaintance is enough to drive him
to drink" five young men, who had been
in Salt Lake less than six months have
taken steps toward, organizing a strangers
club.
1t is the intention to hold social gather
ings every Sunday afternoon to which,
through systematic advertising, every
young man who comes to the city will be
invited. Aside from the entertainment,
the strangers will meet men at the club
who will be in a position to introduce
them into COngenial society. For this
purpose the cooperation of the churches,
the Y. NJ. c. A. and other organizations
will be sought.
A list of hotels Snd boarding houses
will be kept II which they will be CLASH
fled according to responsibility, location.
prices and accommodations. The list will
be kept in some uptown office, and the
fact announced by a card at the depots
and in the hotels. As soon as the or
sanization is well under way an effort
will probably be made TO furnish employ
ment information
The Y. NJ. c. A. in accordance with its
Sunday open house policy, has offered
to furnish quarters for the Sunday meet
ngs OF the club and to help in any other
way it can. 49,

PICK BOOKS FOR
PUPILS TO READ
Education Board Complies List
of Best Books for Home
PeruSaI.

i To encourage home reading by the pu-
pills of the public schools, the city board
Of education has compiled a list of good
] books for pupils to read out of school
hours, and a count is being kept of the
number Of pupils who read them. The
books are graded down from the eighth
/ A classes 10 fifth B, and have been care
fully selected. Superintendent d. H.
christensen has compiled a record of the
reading. of the books at home as shown
! during the school year of 1868 and those
who had read the books before that time
Several new books are added to the list
annually y.
BLACK Beauty is the most popular
| among the younger pupils, as there were
/ 1,2S4 who read the book before last year
and S55 during that year, at home, or
/ total of zig. Other popular books are
! shown to be Baldwin's Hero Tales,
/ Grimm's Fairy Tales, Robin Hood, Old
/ Greek Stories and Robinson Crusoe.-
| The general scheme of the board in the
| home reading course is explained by Su-
/ perintendent Christensen as follows:
| Pupils. should be encouraged TO pur-
/ chase suitable books, to subscribe for and
read at least one of the best juvenile
magazines and to visit The public library.
Talk with them about their home read
/ ing and strive to develop a taste for the
best literature.
ITO facilitate and encourage, as well as
! TO give systematic direction to home
/ reading. several suitable books have been
suggested in connection with the pre-
I scrbed reading IN classes above the
| third grade, Pupils can obtain them from
/ the public library and from school
libraries. In fact, an incidental aim is to
teach pupils the use of a library and TO
bring them frequently into its environ
ment. The readiness and willingness with
which pupils respond TO this additional
reading will be determined largely by the
! quality of the work in reading class and
the enthusiasm with which the teacher
! there imbues them.
The results secured will be, to an eX-
! tent, at least, a measure of the teachers
skill and her power to inspire her pupils
with a genuine love for reading the best
and purest literature"

SKIDMORE NEXT
TO LOSE SCALP
Assistant City Engineer Slated
to Get American Party
Knife.

Oscar II. Skidmore assistant to City
Engineer L. c, Kelsey, is next in line
for decapitation, according to the present
program. There is no complaint in re
gard to his work, but Skidmore is guilty
of the crime OF hanging close to Kelsey
all through the troubles of his chief and
OF taking a stand against the board OF
pubic works, as did the city engineer
who has been forced to resign.
Mayor John 5. BransfOrd said yester-
day that he understood Kelsey would get
out of office on Oct. 10, and that the
letter he sends to the council Monday
night, accepting kelsey's resignation, will
name Oct. Is as the date on which the
resignation takes effect. George O. Cha
ney, chief assistant under Kelsey, viii
be in charge of the city engineers Office
until successor is appointed to run the
business of the office.
While CLANCY has been in sympathy
with Kelsey in his fight on the board of
works and against Mcmillan, he has not
been open IN II and has always gone
along in cOngenial manner. CLANCY has
stuck with his chief, but not in the ag-
gressive manner that SkidmOre has shown
Therefore, those in the machine are now
demanding that Mayor Bransford force
Skidmore out. Wyether the mayor will
take this step remains to be seen.
1t is said that SkidmOre will be forced
out as assistant engineer even before
Mike Fitzpatrick, chief inspector in the
board of public works and the least eff
ficient man in the city employ, is told
to vaCate. Members of the board of works
have declared they will fight any attempt
to get the scalp of Fitzpatrick. and they
may be able to keep him at the head of
the poorest corps of inspectors of public
works IN the nation. At any rate. 'Fitz"
is still on the job in spite of efforts to
GUST him. It happens that Fitzpatrick is
with the KeaTns ring, and S1idmore isn't.
And as the American party, through
BransfOrd, is continuing its policy of
ring rule, Skidmore will likely be the first
to drop out of the city employ

DRUG COMP ANIES
TO CONSOLIDATE
Four Local Concerns Will Soon
Be Under One Man
agement.

Under the title of Schramm-Jo Johnson.
Drugs, one of the largest and most i'm
portant business consultations of the
season will be effected during the COM
ing week Four of the leading drug
stores of the city will be placed under
one management, with an approximate
capital of 100000
The firms concerned in the merger are
the F. J. Hill Drug company, F. c..
Schramm, the Sherwood Pharmacy ana
the 3. II. Townsend Drug company. F.
G. Schramm is to be president of the
new company with JOY H. Johnson as
secretary manager.
There will be no change in the present
locations of the various stores, but the
smaller ones will be thoroughly over
hauled and extensive improvements made
in order to accommodate a very general
addition to the stocks. When the new
management has finished, the stores will
be models Of elegance in appearance, with
immense stocks on their shelves and
counters.
The consolidation is in the form of pur-
chase of the Sherwood Pharmacy and the
Townsend company by the Schramm and
Hill interests. F. c. Schramm, the presi-
dent, is one of the best known business
men in Salt Lake. and "Schramm's" has
become a household word during the
years he has been in business. Mr..
Schramm has been prominent in every
thing that has pertained to the welfare
of the city
Joy H. Johnson, the secretary manager,
is equally well known. For some years
he has been hand in hand with those who
have put their shoulders to the business
wheel and in business circles he has ever
been TO the front.
Schramm-Johnson, Drugs, win in the
future enter largely into the WHOLESALE
buying field. THE consolidation, said
one of the new firm yesterday. will en-
able US to buy much more advantage
ously and IN consequence our patrons will
be enabled to purchase much more cheap
ly. Our action will rebound to the benefit
of the city all around.
The papers will be filed some time dur
ing the coming week.
