GETTING AT INSIDE FACTS.

At Fridays New York hearing on
dhe Pacific railroad merger case, Gov
crnment Atty. Severance asked about
the branch line which the Oregon
Railway s. Navigation company be-
gan to build out of Coos Bay, Or, in
1907, but which was subsequently aban-
doned.
Mr.. OBrien admitted the company
refused to complete this line because
the people OF Coos Bay would not
guarantee per cent on the investment
over the cost of maintenance and op-
Grafton.
In giving the time made by freight
trains over the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation line, Mr.. OBrien said the 40i
miles between Huntington and Port
land were made in "a hours and SIS min
utes. or at the rate OF about IL miles
an hour.
Mr Severance inquired why there
should be better expedition on the
Oregon Railway & Navigation than
over the Union Pacific main line. Mr..
O'Brlen admitted that the fact the
road was in competition with the
Northern Pacific had something to do
with it, although the limitations and
regulations OF the Portland railway
also had bearing.

THE HIGHEST SHOE STORE AND
MILLINERY ESTABLISH
MENT IN THF; WEST

That Salt Lake is getting the me-
tropolitan spirit of her eastern sisters
Is evidenced by the tendency of some
OF our local concerns to introduce sky
scrapcr shopping. When 1t was an
nounced that in the Boston building
were to be opened shoe parlorS on the
18th floor. it was regarded as a great
evolution in merchandising and some
of the wise ones shook their heads
predicting an early death to such an
enterprise,
Mr.. Tom Butler whose name among
Salt Lakes shoe people is a house

this New York idea and transplant IT
to Salt Lake. At once the idea ap-
pcalcd to both men and women how
really pleasing II would be to escape
tho din and hustle of the crowded
streets and by taking the elevator to
the 11th floor of the big sky scraper.
to do their shopping at leisure and
without the annoying hustle and crush
OF the congcsted districts.
This idea has proved unusually
successful not only In the case OF the
Butler Art Shoe Co, but also in tho
millinery line. Down the hall on the
cast side arc the dainty little parlors
of Mrs. Clara Stephenson who has re-
Gently returned from her purchasing

these beautiful creations from Paris

| Rev. P. M. Jones of Alabama, who on
Wednesday night OF last week closed a

bringing about a division of sentiment
in religious circles regarding the kind of
language preacher may use in address
ing a mixed congregation of sinners and
saints. we place the sinners before the
saints because of their number.) On
Wednesday night the Rev. P. NJ. Jones
was talking on dancing, and hugging,
and other very agreeable sins in man
ner that some of his congregation re-
garded as vulgar. 1t must have been
strong language for Rev. James c. Dor
ward, visiting Presbyterian preacher,
arose in his place in the congregation
and offered protest-"that there were
ladies in the congregation and that the
language was too vulgar for their ears"
or words to that effect. While the
protesting minister was still standing,
Rev. Mr.. Jones retorted that the proteS
Ter had rendered himself liable TO ar
rest and that he was excused from fur

Dorward thereupon left the church.
The episode was unusual, and has caused
some feeling even among the elect Mr..
Dorward, being himself member of
the cloth, certainly ought TO have known
that he had no right to disturb relig

such as to make him forget for the mo-
