need contain only few of the
many observations made last week
by the IutelIigencer maa at the
Coliseum IN Chicago.
The Coliseum is a big hall,
capable of seating 1000 people;
but not one fifth of the persons
desiring to get into the building
were able to make it. PLATOON

men surrounded the hall and 1t
was practically impossible for
one not provided with ticket

fuges were used by individuals
and some of them were success
full. Tickets were sold at fancy
prices, ranging from $40 to $lOV
Most of the grafting was done
BY the politicians and not by the
police. The most popular gas
was the one worked by some
delegates. The delegate woult

till Mr.. Bryan was out of sight.
It is am indisputable fact that
many Republicans hope to see
bryan the next President and
will vote for him if he is nomi-
mated. Many prominent ones,
some of them delegates, said so
lpenly when they saw that Taft
would be the Republican nomi-
nee.
TAFT NOT POPULAR.
That nobody was enthusiastic
ol er Taft was evident at all
times. When Nicholas Murray
3u1er was making his speech
seconding the Taft nomination
he SAID impressively; "Who IS
this man who during the last
sixteen years has advanced the
United States so much, who by his
tenn erament and conduct has
shown himeself to be the man
most able to hold the president

question to be rhetorical. He
thought it would be followed by
respectful silence which would
give him the opportunity of an

OF government national park officials and

following to say Of the conference:
D. Il. Burley. general passenger
agent for the Oregon Short Line: and
7 were the only representatives there
from Salt Lake city. and we were
there 10 learn. The conference was
local In its character and the pIiu-
cip7l feature was the fight by the
California Automobile association and
others TO open roads leading through
the park and into the valley proper.
Advocates OF three different routes
were heard and the activity Of each
crowd seemed 70 center In Its par
t!cular route. There were about fifty
cars full Of automobile enthusiasts
went 20 the park border as a form
OF demonstrd ton.
Walter l.. Fisher. secretary of the
interior. who presided at the confer
euce took the entire matter under
adviSement. but from the trend OF the
questions he asked 81 was evident
that he was opposed 10 the Joint use
OF any Of the roads.
The most conspicuous nEure I'm the
conference was the venerable John
Muir who delivered an address the
second day Of the conference on the
history and Importance of the Gosc-
mite park. The first day OF ths con-
ference was almost entirely taken
up with the reports from the super
,ntendeuts of the twelve national
parks represented there.

The prevalence of smoke in quantity
in the city is due almost entirely to
inefficient methods of firing. he says,
and il is doubly evil in that it costs
the owners Of the plants more to pro

than IT would cost TO eliminate the
smoke and continue to heat the build

the city, tenants and owners, TO CO.
