FIX MORON|'S TRUMPET
SteepIetack VIII Ascend Slender staff
on Top of Temple to Repair DAM
age Caused by Explosion

Thomas Taylor, a structural iron
worker, who has scaled the heights of
skyscrapers in big cities from coast
to coast, will probably be selected this
morning as the steeplejack to make
the ascent of the temple and straight

The trumpet was Jared out Of ad-
justment at the time Of the nitro
glycerin explosion at the Utah hotel,
and has been noticeably crooked ever
since. Yesterday c. W. Nibley, pre-
siding bishop of the Mormon church.
was seeking a steeplejack who would
climb the temple, mount the spire and
adjust the trumpet to the mouth of
the statue.
The Herald Republican found prob
ably the only steeplejack now in Salt
Lake and referred him to Bishop
NibIey. The statue is more than 200
feet from the ground, and to reach the
top Of the figure it will require un-
usual daring IT is estimated that
the trumpet is exactly 225 feet from
earth.
Taylor is a veteran at climbing, and
scales any height with perfect ease.
His vocation as a pilot of the skies
has carried him to the top of great
buildings in New York, Chicago and
San Francisco, and he has often sailed
through space on a piece of steel
swung out over the river during the
construction of the big Williamsburg
bridge.

Most persons. at one time or an
other, have heard the familiar Las
call for the dining carl" Granting
that they have. now comes the las;
call of the census man."
At the urgent request Of the boarc
of governors of the Commercial Club,
Hugh A McMillin, supervisor Of cen
sus. has agreed to keep his office open
for the reception Of any names which
do not now appear on the census rolls
of Salt Lake, until Saturday evening.
Mr.. McMillin, however, states that II
will be the last chance to be enrolled.
While Mr.. McMillin says he is rea-
sonably sure that the census of Salt
Lake is complete, officers Of the Com
mercial club feel that possibly zoo
persons may be found in two days
who have been overlooked by the
census mans canvass.
Secretary Game and other officers
Of the club suggested yesterday that
the club would be willing to pay at
the rate Of 10 cents a name for the
outstanding ones. but Supervisor Nc
Millin stated that this plan had been
tried in other cities and that the gov
eminent would not cOunten-nce it. In
any event, the Commercial club is GO

When the tally of Salt Lakes pop

week, there is now reason to bell eve
that the 100. 900 mark will have bepn
passed by from 1000 to 10000. If
by any chance you have been missed

too late to have your name counted

While Supervisor McMiIlin might
know positively what the population
of Salt Lake is next Saturday, he says
II would cost him two years in jail to
give 1t out Meanwhile, however
everybody is permitted to guess what
the totals are. That the 100, 600 mark
has been passed is generally believed
and 1t may be that the final Official

PHONE WIRES AND
TELEGRAPH UNITED
Western Union and Rocky
Mountain Bell Officials
Hold Conference.
SYSTEMS TO COOPERATE
CORPORATIONS WILL EXPEDITE
TRANSMISSION OF MESSAGES.

As a result Of a conference be-
tween General Manager Belvidere
Brooks of the Western Union Tele-
graph company and President H
Vance LaLe of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company, definite ar
arrangements were made yesterday fol
a joint service, not only in Salt Lake
out throughout the entire intermoun-
Cain country.
1t was decided to put a branch tele-
phone service in the main office OF
the Western Union at 159 Main street
and also put branch telegraph office
in me Bell Telephone building. In
this way messages can be transmitted
by telephone to the telegraph wires
land from the telegraph to the tele-
phone II was also decided that West
ern Union telegraph toll credit be eX-
tended to all Bell telephone subscrib-
ers
It is stated that this arrangement
does not mean the cutting down the
force of operators, but, on the other
hand, it means an increase in tAe
force of both telegraph and telephone
operators.
Arthur W. Long, manager of the
local Western Union office, recon-
that he be permitted to increase the
salaries of operators and other en-
ployes of the company upon the basis
Of individual merit. The request was
granted. The company has 100 en-
ployes in Salt Lake
Mr. Brooks stated last night that he
was personally surprised and gratified
with the spirit Of progress and bust
ness advancement of Salt Lake. The
receipts of the Western Union have
been increasing steadily for several
years.
The joint service between the
Western Union and the Bell Tele-
phone company" said Mr.. Brooks,
does not mean a penny more for
tolls, but it does mean more convent
ent service. This viii be particularly
true in the smaller towns and in the
rural districts.
The rapid growth of Salt Lake has
been watched by both companies, and
we are making time by preparations
for the future.
Mr.. Brooks further stated that Salt
Lake would be given q direct wire to
New York instead Of the relay system
at Chicago. The direct wire to the
eastern metropolis will be inangurated
at once. This will be a convenience
and Ume-saver in business affairs.
The Western Union now has under
construction three new wires from San
Francisco, one direct wire to Kansas
City one to Butte and two into Idaho
districts Four wires are being put
in between Salt Lake and Ogden.
One of the important matters to be
taken up by the Western Union Off
Gals this morning will be the selec-
ton of new quarters for the main Salt
Lake office. Mr.. Long viii submit
several locations.

ON IUNKET TO SEATTLE.
Council Decides TO Send Two City
officials.

Salt Lakes need of some modern
method of garbage disposal was dis
cussed by the sanitary committee of
the city council at a special meeting
yesterday, and the committee decided
to recommend that City Engineer
George T. McGonagle and Dr.. 5. G.
Paul, city health commissioner, be
sent to Seattle at the expense of the
city to look over the new incinerator
erected by that city.
The proposition recently made by a
California company to erect a plant
for $45, 900 which would handle fifty
tons of garbage a day and make pro-
Queer gas at the same time, was also
discussed, but it met with little ia
v0r. This concern, which first pro-
posed to erect a plant and handle gar
bage at the present cost of disposal
20 the city, now wants a royalty of
I71s cents a ton during the seventeen
years that its patent runs. The pres
ent contract with the Salt Lake 4
Ogden railroad for h9 uling garbage
was considered, and the sanitary COM
mittee will recommend that it be ex-
tended until January 1.
