GREAT CIRCUS COMING
Barnum & Bailey VIII Show Mt Walk
er's Field, Arriving Aug.
and Staying Two Days.

Announcement of the coming of Bar
mum & Bailey to Salt alike was made
yesterday. The great circus will ap-
pear at Walkers field, and the only
thing wrong with the announcement,
from the viewpoint Of the Juvenile. is
that the circus won't be here until
Aug. Z and 8. This circus began its
season at the Madison Square garden,
New York, March "a, and the engage
ment there was the most remarka BILE
in the history of that city's amusement
affairs. The papers, without excep-
ton, declared the performance the best
in every particular ever seen in the
garden, and the 100000 people of the
metropolis were amazed by the new
and brilliant parade. The program is
remarkable for its thrilling feats.
There are no less than seven Sure-fire
thrillers. There are 400 artists and I25
big acts. After a brief stay in the far
east the show will move direct for the
west, bringing the same complete or
ganIzation seen at Madison Square
garden.

SALT LAKE ROUTE WILL
OPEN ABOUT JUNE 10
Repair Work Progresses So Much
More Favorably That Date is
Moved Ahead.

Through passenger trains between
Los Angeles and Salt Lake will be IN
operation over the Salt Lake Route
by June 10, possibly sooser. It appears
very likely that through freight will
be moved as early as June Z
To be sure, the management an
nounced several days ago that
through traffic would be resumed
June Is, but repair work on the
washed out track between Caliente
and Moapa has progressed so rapidly
in the past week as TO justify the an
nOuncement that the road will be open
within ten days.
The engineering department yester-
day notified the operating department
that the road would be ready to be
turned over June 3. All offices Of the
road which have been closed since the
road was washed out on the first Of
the year have been reOpened and en-
plOyes in all departments who have
been laid off have been instructed to
report for duty June I.
1t is understood that no attempt
will be made to change the time Of the
resumption of the Los Angeles limited.
1t has been arranged to have this train
/ leave Chicago June u and Los An
geles June II. Under the schedule
this train will make the run from Chi
cago TO Los Angeles in sixty eight
hours and twenty-five minutes. The
run from Chicago to Salt Lake will be
made in forty-two hours and twenty
five minutes

NEWSON EXONERATED
Man Charged With Stealing Current
Is Discharged by Jury in
Police Court.

The possibility Of actually stealing
electricity, of which Charles News0n,
63S West Third North street, was ex-
onerated in the criminal division of the
city court Friday. has brought forth an
interesting controversy among attor-
neys.
Newson was charged with tampering
with a switch leading into a meter of
the Utah Light & Railway company
at his residence. so that the meter
could only register a portion of the
current used He was alleged TO have
defrauded the company out of $40
worth of electricity by this method.
However, the prosecution attempted
to explain to- Judge J. NJ. Bowman that
the $40 represented material evidence.
Judge Bowman asked the prosecution
if il wished to take that stand. 1t
replied that such was the attitude,
whereupon Judge Bowman diScOntin-
ued further hearing and turned the case
into the hands of the jury with in
structions to bring in a verdict OF not
guilty.

Big Mans Pugilishc Conceit
Taken Out of Him by a Stranger

an hour so close to midnight, started
to tell said stranger that said Ian
guage was hardly becoming gentle
man inviting himself to have drink
at the expense of another stranger
Then something happened.
The stranger hit Pirkey in the
stomach, doubled him up, and then,
taking advantage of a man without
wind, pasted him, first in the left eye,
then in the right eye. and, to make
the job complete, welted him on the
nose. Under this shower of blows,
Pirkey took the count, and while he
was taking it, the stranger was taking
something else, to-wit, seven immense
dollars from the trousers pockets of
the PROSTATE Pirkey. The telegraph
operator awoke some indefinite length
of time later, still seeing a cloud of
fists, which ne swears, were encased
in brass lucks." Tenderly, two
friends helped him to bed, and he
emerged yesterday with the rainbow
lamps.
Il thought I was some fighter" said
Pirkey, but that guy was the fastest
I ever saw
Pirkey didn't report the matter to
the police, for his thoughts turned
only to hay, but in the light of more
recent reflection, he wishes the police
TO patrol West South Temple street
each night when he goes off shift.

SALT LAKER WINS BRIDE
Erwin s. Armstrong Married in Los
Angeles to Miss Katherine
Graves, Society Girl.

A wedding of considerable local in
terest took place in Los Angeles yes
terday, when Miss Katherine Graves,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. a. Graves
of AIhambra and Erwin 5. Armstrong
of Salt Lake were married at the
Church of Our Savior, Rev. Benjamin
Hartley, the Episcopal clergyman, Of
floating.
The guests included only the imme-
date relatives, and because of re-
cent bereavement in the brides family
the event was marked by simplicity
Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong left imme-
diately after the ceremony for an eX-
tended eastern trip, after which, it is
expected, they will return to make
their home in Salt Lake.
Mrs. Armstrong is prominent in Los
Angeles society, and her father is a
well known banker of the city. Mr..
Armstrong has a wide circle of friends
in Salt Lake. While in the city he

4 LMOST every shade of blue, from
"A indigo to sky, with a fringe of
royal purple and a dash of green
this conspicuous conglomerate of col
ors adorns the eyes of o. S. Pirkey, a
telegraph operator for the Western
Union, who lives at the Cooper room

Behind the unusual color that looms
up like an aurora borealis about the
eyes, is a good story. Behind the eyes
is lingering pain.
Pirkey was on the way from the
Western Union to his room Friday
night, and was making for the hay
with quickened tread, when, at the
intersection of West Temple and
South Temple streets, he was ap-
preached by stranger. Now, it hap
pens that Pirkey is some tall and some
broad-shouldered, and he modestIy
admits that at one time he was
boxer of no inferior ability. He also
says that, under ordinary conditions.
ne can lick almost any man his size,
and great many men who are big

TAX ASSESSMENTS
CAUSE FEW KICKS
Board of Equalization VIII
Have Less Work Than
for Years.

Less work for the board of equaliza-
ton in adjusting complaints this year
than in any of the last six years, is
the prediction of w. A. Latham, county
assessor, who says that there have been
less than a dozen preliminary COM
plants since the valuation notices were
sent out, two keeks ago, by the coun-
~ treasurer.
This statement is made despite the
fact that the assessed valuation Of
property in Salt Lake has been IN
creased from s4S,I47,677 in 1903 TO $685.
74S,377 in 1910. This increase of S5,-
500, 700 does not take into account the
probable increase of several hundred
thousand dollars which will be made
by the board of equalization in the as
sessed valuation of the public service
corporations which are doing business
in Salt Lake county. Last year the
corporations were assessed about $4.-
100000, and it is possible that 1t may
be raised to nearly $4,5U0,000 for 1917.
The assessed valuation of property
in Salt Lake county this year Is $780,
713, 416, as compared with 500, o1S
for 1909. In raising the valuation there
has been no strict percentage increase
put in effect this year, but each case
has been considered separately.
In city real estate, the valuations
have been notably increased in state
street where real estate has been sell
ing at an advance OF 25 to so per cent
over prices a year or so ago. There
has also been an increase in valuations
in the vicinity of Third West street,
which is becoming known as the ware
house district of the city and where
property has advanced in value at a
rapid rate during the last few months.
Farm property southeast OF the city
has also come in for a decided in
crease, some parcels showing an ad-
vance of loo per cent in the assessed
valuation
The law provides that the board of
equalization shall meet the first Mon
day in June and as often thereafter
ing of complaints. Usually the pre-
the county auditors office the day aft
er the valuation notices are mailed by
the county treasurer, but this feature
has been lacking this year. One rea-
son for the few complaints IS that the
county auditor has been able to get
competent help in making up the ex-
ira office force necessary to complete
the assessment rolls and the county
treasurers force has been such that in
copying the assessments and sending
out the 10000 notices there have been
remarkably few clerical errors of any
kind.
1t is estimated that the increase in
valuation of city property in the last
year will result in an increase in the
city's income Of $72,S00, figuring on a
basis of IS mills, which was the rate
last year.

POSTMASTERS TO HOLD
SEVENTH ANNUAL MEET
Convention VIII Take Place at Ogden
This Year, and Hitchcock
May Appear.

The seventh annual convention Of
the Utah State Postmasters' associa-
ton will be held at Ogden July s and
3, and among the speakers will be
Senators Reed Smoot and George
sutherland and Congressman Joseph
Howell, together with representative
OF the postmaster general. These
things were decided upon yes
terday at a meeting of the executive
committee of the association held in
the Office Of Postmaster Arthur L.
Thomas.
Present at the meeting were the
following members of the executive
committee: A. L. Thomas, Salt Lake :;
James Glove, Provo; Joseph Odell,
Logan; c. H. Roberts, Bingham; S. w.
Ross, Lehi; W. W. Wilson, Sandy.
The association is composed of
about 300 postmasters in Utah and is
devoted TO the advancement of postal
service in the state. 1t is purely nom
partisan, and matters discussed at the
annual meetings are calculated to i'm
prove the service throughout the en-
tire state.
While the convention is being held
at Ogden July 8 and 9, other conven-
lions of pOStmasters will be held IN
other western states at about that
time. The California meeting will be
held earlier in July. Other states are
arranging their schedule so as to have
one convention follow another, in or
der that a representative from the de-
partment of the postmaster general
may make up an itinerary and attend
all of them.
An effort is afoot to have Postmas-
ter General Frank Hitchcock come to
Utah, and if the schedule of conven-
lions can be so arranged it is likely
that he will make a tour of the west
during the summer and meet Uncle
Sans Representatives who are under
his immediate Jurisdiction.
