INIT Is Issued for Utah's $2,OOO,OOO Capitol

cnuo will bo secured TO complete the
new capitol.
Just before the adjournment of the
legislature of 1911 the state received
from the Hartman estate an iuheri
tance tax of nearly $S00,000. or this
sum $4,000 was appropriated by the
state legislature for the construction
Of the capitol. Since that time several
hundred thousand have been received
as receipts from the operation Of the
Inheritance tax law.
The next legislature will probably
appropriate this money for the con.
struction of the capitol and make some
arrangement whereby receipts from in.
heritance tax during the next two wears
will 90 to the capitol fund.
There is likelihood, too, that the
Legislature will arrange for an appro-
priation from tho general fund of the
state sufficient to provide for any
deficit resulting from the possibility
that the proceeds Of the inheritance
tax will not prove sufficient to com.
plete the building, the understanding
being that the latter proceeds of the
inheritance tax will go to the general
fund to offset this appropriation.

Capitol's Location.

The axis across the ceutcr of the
building is a continuation Of the axis
OF State street. Its longitudinal axis
is in line with the axis Of Seventh
avenue. A bridge across City creek
forming an extension of Seventh
avenue, would lead directly to tho
center OF the east front. Both the
building and the bridge would gain by
this arrangement, and together present
an imposing architectural feature.
After the east portion OF Capitol
hill is e1cavatcd down to the level of
the grade around the building, the site
will be the most beautiful of any of
its kind in the United States. The
widening of upper State street to its
width below South Temple street will
further add to the appearance of the
building and it is to be hoped that
efforts will be made in this direction
by everyone interested in Salt Lake
CITY.

Origin of Project.

The first step toward the construc-
tlon OF the state capitol building on
the beautiful site where the excava-
tion work for the capitol is now pro-
ceeding rapidly was taken in 1888 when
on February % City Councilman Grant
presented to the city council of Salt Lake
providing that tract of land of ap-
proximately l9 acres on the brow of
what was then known as Arsenal Hill
be rendered to the territory of Utah
to be used as a site for the erection
of the buildings Of the territory. It
is on this site that the new state
capitol IS now being constructed.
The Salt Lake City council adopted
the resolution and rendered the site
to the territory. The territorial lepis.
lature on March 8, 1883 accepted the
gift and the transfer was made in
consideration Of the payment of one
dollar by the territory to the city and
the passage Of law providing for
tho improvement of the grounds and
their use as public park. The deed
also carried with it oue-half interest
IN reservoir sito in order to provide
water for the grounds and buildings.
The territorial legislature of that
year. created board OF commission
ers in charge of the capitol grounds
The board consisted of Caleb W. West,
then governor Of the territory; james
Sharp, Thomas, Marshall. Joseph Stan
ford, Aaron +. Farr, Jr., Anthem n.
Lund, and A. o. Smoot, Jr. OF the
original capitol commission Autban Fl.
Lund is the only member of the present
capitol commission.
Governor West acted as e1-officio
chairman of the commission until the
following year when he was succeeded
by Governor Arthur L. Thomas who
served until the rcappointment Of Gov.
ernor West as governor Of the terri
tory IN 1898 when he again became
ex-offieio chairman Of the commission
and continued in this capacity until
the close of his administration when

in Washington and Idaho which
make horticulture particularly diff
cult and interesting. For example,
the lands on which fruit is grown
vary in altitude from sea level to
one thousand feet above sea level;
the rainfall varies from one inch to
166 inches; and the soil varies from
the hardest clay to a very sandy

states is rapidly assuming enormous
proportions. At present there are
nine varieties of apples grown for
commercial purposes, three varieties
OF pears. Bartletts being most com
mon, and both European and Ameri-
al grapes.
The science of spraying trees has
been so highly developed in the coast
states that there is practically no
loss of fungus diseases or insect
pests. The pruning system is also
the best that has been devised, being
one that gives a low, strong tree, ca
pable OF bearing the maximum

Professor Thornber showed a large

illustrating the methods employed in
pruning and ~irrigating in the Pacific

Senior Girls Entertain

The great event in the history or
the Senior class occurred on the even
ing of March fifth when the Misses
Grace Revell and Lila Skinner enter
tanned the Senior class at the home of
Miss Skinner. The Senior class is
known as the stag class but for
once there were girls enough.
Aside from the hostesses there We're
the following "girls:"Miss Verna Wei
ker, Miss Jennie Larson, Miss Pearl
Jones Oakland, Miss Gladys Bisby,
Miss Maudc Jones King, Miss Russell
la Jensen, Miss Henrietta Erdmann,
Miss Arthurina Stearns, and Miss
Ramona Edison. Most of he ladies"
wore gowns that were rather more
elaborate than those to which the
wearers were accustomed.
A brief description Of the various
gowns might not be out Of place at
this point. Miss Welker wore a blue
gown and a fancy Persian cap that
was very becoming to the young lady.
Miss Larson wore a black skirt and
white tailored waist, while her hair
was neatly done up with a blue rib
bon. Miss Oakland wore a gray and
white dress. A blue chiffon evening
cap gave the finishing touch to this
Norwegian beauty, Miss Bisby ap-
peared in a simple light blue Dress
~low-necked and short sleeved. A red
and black theatre hat was worn dur
ing the evening. Miss King wore a
blue and white gown trimmed in
black. Her black curley hair was
combed in simple style. Miss Jensen
wore a black skirt and a gray silk
waist trimmed in black. A black mo-
line bow adorned her hair. Miss
Erdmann had on a blue silk skirt, a
white tailored waist, and a lavender
bow at the neck. Her light fluffy hair
was worn in a lavender band. Miss
Stearns wore a beautiful gown of
blue and white. She had her lovely
white hair combed up high on her
head. Miss Edison wore a white gown
trimmed in black and velvet and wore
a band of black velvet at the throat
and about the hair completed her
beautiful costume.
1t is said some of the ladies
present we've so deceptive that some
of the young men were led to make
dates" which can never be filled.
After spending some time in admir-
ing the gowns of the various guests
the evening was spent at progressive
whist. The Grand finale was the ex-
cellent supper chat was served.
The rooms were appropriately de-
corated with yellow and blue bunt-
ing.
The Senior boys certainly owe the
senior girls a vote of thanks for so
original and pleasant a party. The
evening will never be forgotten by
any Of those present. With the excep-
ton of Mr.. Marchant, who was sick,
and Mr.. Pence, who has finished his
work here, the entire class was pres
ent.
