The Drummer'S Sermon

Certainly | will make a few
remarks" said the cigar salesman,
who, because of his solemn garb,
had been mistaken for a man of
cloth. Ascending to the platform,
he said:
"NIen are like cigars. Often you
cannot tell by the wrapper what the
filler Is. Sometimes good old
stogie is more popular than import
ed celebrity. Some men are all
right in the showcase, on display,
but are great disappointments when
you get them home. No matter
how fine man is eventually be
meets his match. A two-fer often
puts on as many airs as a 50-center.
Some men never get to the front at
all except during campaigns. Some
are very fancy outside and are
selected for presents. Others have
rough exterior, but spread cheer
and comfort about them, because of
what is inside. But all men, as all
cigars, good or bad, two-fers,
stogies, rich or poor, come to ashes

The proprietor and manager of

by the X. G. Journal to be the only

Fl. P Niles of Everett, Wash. a promi-

northwestern home la night.
The weather down there Is rather
cold" he said. Vegetables are greater
than ever known. and all kinds OF fruits
are excellent and thousands of tons of
apricots, peaches and early apples are
going to waste.
This season has been the most pro-
pItious for dry farming In the history OF
that section All grain crops are above
the average. especially in wheat The
market at Bluff Is always active and the
demand 10 never more than can be sup
piled
I'm regard to the oil fields, 7 have
spent many months in oil examination
So far as developments show, the field
rs equal TO the fields Of Pennsylvania
Kansas, Oklahoma or California. and for
this reason In the numerous wells that
have been sunk, each and every one has
given evidence that oil of As per cent
paratiine exists. Not one of these wells
tell me that the oil belt of San Juan
county is one of the most extensive in
the country, and when developed Will
demonstrate that the quality Of the oil
is far ahead OF any oil yet taken out OF

Final Action on Proposed Street
Car Line Extensions on
Schedule.

The city council tonight will pass upon
Mayor John S. Bransford's veto OF the
councils order providing for the paving
Of North Main and Center streets with
bithulitic pavement. The council ordered
the work on the petition of the property
owners, but there has since been pro-
tests TO the bithulitic paving. and that
the property owners might be heard, the
mayor decided to hold the matter up by
refusing to approve 1t. The engineering
committee will meet with the protestants
at o'clock this afternoon that the mat
ter may be investigated.
There also was some question in the
mind OF the mayor as to the thickness
of the bithulitlc paving On the motion
of Councilman John Holley. the council
ordered the standard thickness, which 1t
is understood the contractors desire 10
construe six Inches. This matter will
be thrashed out tonight.
The municipal law committee Will re-
port favorably on the application of the
Utah Light & Railway company for a
franchise TO build a line on Fifteenth
East. connecting with the Sugar House
line and Ninth South and Eleventh East
running east past the site OF the pro-
posed new high school building, and
down Fifteenth East street TO Twelfth
South street. A favorable report also
VIII be received on the application for a
street car line to the Capitol grounds.
The council will likely tonight take ac-
delivery wagons off Main and Second
South streets. but II has not yet been
determined where they will be given a
stand.

Pupils Out of City.
The school census showed a decrease
in the number OF pupils. but the school
census Is not always an absolute indlca-
tion of the exact school population. When
the census was taken this summer. large
number Of children were out OF the city
for the summer and the school authoTi-
ties are Of the opinion that there will be
no marked decrease in the attendance for
the ensuing year Last year the atten-
congestion In caring for the pupils. This
will be relieved this year by rearrange-
ment OF districts, The attendance AT the
the capacity Of the school was seriously
taxed. This situation will be relieved
this year also. The new technical build
ing at the high school is practically com
pleted. which will give the school much
more available room. The fact, TOO. that
a large high school class was graduated
last spring will also tend TO relieve the
congestion.
More KindeTgartens.
Three new kindergarte will be es-
tabished with the opening OF the coming
school year. There will also be five new

work OF the board of education will be
busy during the greater part of the time
assigning the principals and teachers TO
the various schools. Because OF changes
In the work some changes of assignments
are necessary, but In the main IT is
thought that the changes will be few
and that most OF the teachers and prin-
cipals Will be on duty in the same schools
