FREAR CASE is NOT SETTLED
Agreement to Allow Nominations

nomination OF Governor Frear. The

Republican senators are threatening to
make reprisals as soon as the Wilson
administration comes in, if the Demo
Gratis are obdurate now in holding up
nominations upon which the senate
should reasonably act.
Probably this will not affect the case
of Governor Frear. The outcome will
apparently be an agreement to let some
nominations through, but these VIII be

Navy officers. By the time congress re-

however, but some stress is placed up

for such an artistic person.

Mr.. Levy went on. "At every station that
we stopped, Mr.. Ysaye used to ask me
to see if l could buy an apple pie. 1t
became such a joke that everywhere he
went the first thing that appeared on the
table for him was an apple pie Return

the theatre very distrait and upset. and
said he would like to see Mr.. Ysaye.
That it was very urgent and must be

the boy was denied permission to see
him, but was told that he could see him
at the hotel the next morning. The boy
left note and asked that it be given to

opened the note and read it. The boy
told him he was a fellow townsman of

boys family The note went on to say
that he would be greatly Obliged if Mr..
Ysaye would lend him 50, as his board

to pay it. Mr.. Ysaye laughed heartily
over the episode and inclosed $40 bill

Mr.. Ysaye was so bothered by that sort

The tottering old man was as humble

he told the old man that 1t was really
a very good violin, it pleased him as

Mr.. Levy, in a way, is a new addition
tc. Birminghams music circles, having
been here only few years, but since
his arrival he has made his impress upon
all those who have had the pleasure of
knowing him, as a man of superior in

Mr.. Levy has known all the famous
artstes of the past decade and numbers

An an acompanist. Mr. Levy has made
and sustained an enviable reputation,
and upon various occasions he has APP

With Patti in her palmy days Mr. Levy
appeared also with Minnie Hauk. Cam

Adams and scores of others, and it was
during the last concert tour that Ysaye
made in this country, in 1904 and 1905
that Mr. Levy toured with him for seven
months, appearing in all the prominent
cities of the east and west.
Mr. Levy tells the most delightful and

David Larson, the Secretary
Manager of the Weber Commercial
Club of Ogden arrived here last
night. Mr. Larson is on a mission
of planning good roads and laying
out the best and shortest route for
auto and commercial purposes
across the state of Nevada. Mr.
Larson is visiting Nevada carrying
the good will of Ogden and
Utah and attempting to bring the
two sister states Of Nevada and
Utah into closer relations. He de-
clares good roads is the surest and
quickest means. What benfits one
benefits the other he contends and
for this reason he is meeting the
people of Nevada and working up
enthusiasm fer good roads.
MIR Larson is logging the short
est route from the Utah state line
tn Reno by the way of Elko and
Winnepucca. This will be the
short route across the state.
With the construction of a good
road all the way over the route
which he is now laying out an
enormous amount of traffic will be
sent over this new route. but Mr.
Larson wishes it understood that hC
is MT discriminating against any
other rou,e or town in the state.
On the contrary he believes the
more routes across the state the
better. Then the tourists NAV go
which ever way he desires. The
present Southern route is all right
but it is considered too long and
therefore more direct and short
er route is desirable for this
purpose.
