tract with the forestry department
whereby the latter assumes jurisdiction
over the pstroling OF the city watersheds
for a period OF ten years.
A total OF eleven appointments OF la
borers in the waterworks department was
confirmed, The action became necessary
owing to the decision OF the city auditor
that he would not honor payroll warrants
until the appointments were confirmed
by the commission, Heretofore the water
and street departments have hired labor
ers without the formality OF concurrence
by the city commission.

AT SALTAIR SATURDAY

The last Saturday of the season at
Saltair will be celebrated with a big
double event. Saturday is ordinarily
society day at the lake and draws a
large dancing crowd. The. success Of
last night 5 dancing carnival caused
the management to add TO tho usual
Saturday attractions the last big dane
ing carnival programme Of the season,

gest Saturday of the year. The two
bands, Montgomery and Held IS, will
both be enlarged for the occasion and
special programmes are being arranged
by tho rival baudmasters. There will
be more than thirty dances on the regu.
lar programme and in addition the mum
bers requested of either band will be
PLAYED.
The dance last night was the biggest
Of the year, The crowds showed their
approval Of the splendid programme
played bv enthusiastic applause Yes
terdsy was also big day with the

GIRLS MUST GET
LETTERS At HOME
New Regulations Intended to
Prevent Clandestine Cor
respondence.

After o'clock on Saturday morning
the young lady who receives letters at
the general delivery window instead OF
at homo will have 20 convince Uncle
Sam that there is nothing out of the
way about 1t. Tho new regulations to
prevent abuses of the general delivery
window will then go into effect. These
are questions which clerks in all post
offices In the country may ask:
"Are you 21 years Of age?"
Have you permanent residence
here2''
"Are you using a fictitious nsme?"
is this correspondence illcgal?'
The first two questions are considered
the most important, inasmuch as they
are the ones most likely to be answered
truthfully. IF they arc answered In the
affirmative the clerk will answer:
"The mail will be delivered at your
home BY the regular carriers"
Persons who have permanent addresses
will not be able to receive mail at the
general delivery window In the same
city unless they explain their reasons to
the postmaster and he approves their ap-
plica tions.

Il Is more than likely that the primaries

There is no likelihood OF serious con-
tests in most OF the districts, especially
since all opposition TO the denomination
OF Governor Spry has ceased. There is
no Indication that an elecenth-hou cam

bunch and the SpIy forces will likely have
everything their own way. However, the
supporters OF the governor are taking no
chances and members OF the Snry club
arc seeing 10 IL that only known Spry
men go TO the state convention from this
county.
in most OF the districts the test the cam
ddates for delegates To the state con-
vcn,ion must meet is with reference to
their position for or against the gov
crnor. Little cognizauce will be taken OF
their preference for candidates for other
aIMle niflcns.
