SiXty-fiye guests greeted Mr.. j.
Ross Clark, vice president of the
Salt Lake, Los Angeles & San Pedro
railroad, last evening at luncheon in
the Mizpah hotel Every branch of
business was represented and the
most optimistic spirit prevailed
throughout The guests included
every department of railroad work
and close attention was paid to the
remarks Of the speakers, who spoke
extemporaneously without any warn
ing that they were to be called on.
This ELECTED spontaneous wit and
yivacity that enliyened the proceed
ngs and diyested them of the stiff
formality of pre-ordained affair
with cut and dried talks doled out
like layers Of chocolate cake. Every
one spoke right off the bat just what
he felt at heart and the expression
found ample applause from those
who came to pay their respects to
the distinguished guest.
