across the vast wilderness OF plains
seeking their promised land In the
beautiful Salt Lake valley. Their trail
led them past a natural oil spring,
where they found an oil suitable for
greasing wagons, polishing gunstocks,
and an all-round good medicine for
sores upon their horses and cattle
Brigham Young commissioned some
OF his followers to open the spring
and put 1t In condition to supply oil
and grease to the needy little colony
In the Salt Lake valley. For years
afterwards this oil weu supplied their
wants In this line till the advent Of
the railroad when the refined article

DR. Rowe was secured as guide. and
he explained the whole plan OF en-
tertainment. We first visited the big

Five of Prettiest Girls in Silver Shop Married Last Week and All Get Gifts
 From Co Workers

r t
 Many of the employees of the big Holmes & Edwards silver plant are humming, or whistling, the wedding march from Lohengrin, this week. The pretty girls wpo are employed there blush when their associates ask them if they are to embark upon the sea of matrimony. Talk of wedding trosseaus, wedding cakes, the charm ing appearance of the brides and presents is rife. The shop was swept by a, natrim onialt wave last week and no less than five of it's prettiest girls became brides. In each instance the employees of the factory gave hand some presents.
 Miss Mamie Coughlin, card clerk in the metal stock room, became given a Ehandsome pair of rocking chairs. GNtt
 Miss Marion Craig, a-sskil1ful hand burnisher, became the Bride of Mr. William Dew and she was the recipf- ent of a sterling silver cake basket.
 Miss Augusta Chelinsky, who has been one of the swiftest workers in the shipping department, captivated a physician and became the bride of pr. Isaac Zimmerman. She was pre- sented a number of beautiful pieces of cut glass.
 Miss Georgianna Welt, one of the best inspectors in the employ of@the concern, became Mrs. William Brob- son and her associates saw to it that she received a pair of racking chairs and a picture.
 Miss Edith Clark, valued em- p1oye of the packing department, left the factory to become the bride of pieces of silverware from her as sociates.

Dr. O'Hara Complains to Director Kenny of Con-

Dr. Wi J. A. O'Haraf called upon Director Kenny of the Public Works department this morning and called his attention to the dep1orable con- dition of Barnum avenue between Noble avenue and Seaview avenue The director agreed with the doctor that the road was in bad shape and said that the city has done nothing to put it in better shape because the it intended to tear up the rails and put down new road bed. He said that he did not think it would be good policy for the city to fix the street if the railroad was going to tear it up right. away.
 Dr. O'Hara said that if the street was not put in condition very soon he would circulate a petition to have it done. The director replied that he had been trying to get Barnum ave- nue in shape for som etirne and only aSfew days ago the railroad company announced it intention to do the work this summer.
 The director informed the doctor that he would be against laying an expensive macadam roadway in the avenue dhis Fall for he understood q that the permanent pavement com mission has plan to ask the next legislature for a $10O,000 bond issue for the laying of wood block pave ment in State street and Barnum avenue.
 Dr. O'Hara said that he would be inclined not to favor the laying of per manent paveme ent gin Barnum avenue unless the thoroughfare is widened. He thought that the other property owners on the street would want it widened.

KENNY WILL ADOPT FRENCH SYSTEM OF
 ROAD MAINTENANCE

Director of Public Works M A. Kenny is so impressed with the pos sibilitiesN of his proposed plan to es- tab1ish the French, or Massa chusetts plan, of keeping streets in shape in Fairfield avenue and Conneeticut ave- nue, that he intends to inaugurate the plan in every section of the city next year so far as the appropriation for macadam repairs will permit.
 He stated this morning that he be- ieved that the only way to keep ma cadam streets in shape is to keep con- stant1y after them. Under the plan he has in mind he will place a man and a cart in charge of certain streets and hold them responsible for the up keep of those sections As soon as there is hole or uneven place in the pavement it will be the duty of the care keeper to fill it with crushed stone or screenings and restore the surface.
 MT Kenny is confident that the streets will be kept in repair for all time by the proposed plan and that in the long run it will be cheaper than building macadan1 roads and not doing anything to repair them except occasionally.
 Under the system every part of the city will get it's share of the ma cadam repair money and any com p1aint about the condition of a street will be instantly referred to the em- ployes in whose section the cause of the complaint is located. kt
