TO the Honorable Mayor and Com
missioucrs of city Of Salt Lake:
Gentlemen-m behalf OF the real

We beg to call The attention OF your
honorable body to the great need OF
Increased traffic facilities between the
western part Of our city and It's
business center.
Careful examination OF the, physi-
streets Of our city reveals a serious
problem. In fact, from Seventh
North street TO Seventh South
street nearly all :horoughfares run
ming to ihe west are concestcd with
tracks and with one or two eXcep-
sable
We feel that tho problems Of our
city should not only no threshcd out
by our able commissioners, but should
also be worked out carefully by pub
lie spirited citizens. With this OBJ
ject in view wc respectfully petition
your honorable body for immediate
relief Of the situation as above out
lined, and ask in connection there
with that the yiaduct which crosses
North Temple street between Third
and Fourth West streets be immcdi-
ately widened TO the full width OF said
street. During our usual annual state
fair and 1T other times this vaduct
becomes a serious menace to the lives
or our citizens.
Respectfully praying for mmcdi-
ate considera tion or this matter and
assuring you that We shall at all
times be ready TO co Operate With You
in working out plans for z greater
and better Salt Lake. we remain,
yours very truly.

To the Honorable Mayor and Com

Ia our opinion the franchise Should

of It's cars through the business con-
ter OF Sail Lake CITY. We think
however. that said company should

suggest that said company be per-

PRINTING ONCE IN DIsFAvoR
Known to Expiate Their "crImes"
on the GalIows.

On the 18th Of July, 1850, Martin
Lhomme. one OF two who were hanged
In the Place Maubert by tho decree
Of the parliament. suffered because he
had published a writing entitled
"Epistre envoyee au tigre de la
France" "a letter directed against tho
Tiger Of France), a satire directed
against the cardinal Of Lorraine, then
all powerful, which had probably been
Imprinted at Basic In Switzerland, or
StraSburg, Germany. The culprit, &C
cording to the historian De Thou, was
poor little bookseller, q native OF
Rouen. While he was waiting at the
gibbet, says Charles Winslow Hall in
the National Magazine. one OF his fell
low countrymen, coming into Paris ON
business, saw him on his way and
recognized him. Then" Gays Regnier
de la blanche, mot knowing why he
was condemned to death, he alighted
from his horse at neighboring hos
telry, and. seeing the people very
angry against the unfortunate man,
cried to them, "Eh, what, my friends,
ID 1t not enough that he dies? Leave
him to the executioner. Would you
like to torment him more than his SEN
tence demands?' They considered the
Norman's pity misplaced. He was
forthwith arrested, judged and hanged
four days later without any form Of
process In the same fatal Place Mau.

WHEN THEY WENT BACK HOME
Aumorist Records some Surprises
That Attended the Occasion Of
Popular Celebration.

During a recent Old Home Week in
An upstate village tho following
'never-wilkamount-to-snythings" were
in attendance:
John Wilson Clarke. who was al,
ways too lazy to do the chores, came
up from New York in his big seven.
passenger car. On account Of press.
ing work he could stay but q few
hours.
Ex-Gov. Silby Kirkwood, who was
naturally thick-headed and half-baked
in his youth. stopped over in his pri.
Vate car to see his old home.
DR.. Willis G. Dyer, ono of the best
known surgeons in the country, called
the town fool when q boy, dropped In
and left enough money for q town
library.
Miss Caroline Jensen Atwood, too
stupid to learn in the old red school
house, now q popular authoress and
playwright visited her relatives.
Charlie Druke, the spendthrift, shut
up his Wall street office long enough
to attend.
One Of the most noticeable features
OF the whole celebration was the alb.
sence Of the men and women who
gave much promise Of originality and
worth during their youth.
Lack Of memory In their old age &C.
counts for the fact that not one Of the
old fogies present ever said anything
but good Of anybody, including the
successful boys present-Don. Cam
