Attractive Farms.

While only towns have been specifically
mentioned in this article the rich farms
that stretched out on every side. for the
sevepty-fve miles or more that the party
covered attracted much attention. 1t
was an excellent indication that the
prosperity OF the towns In the valley. In
cluding Salt Lake City. were insured by
the greatest safeguard OF prosperity there
is-plenty OF thriving farm lands, Fruit,
grain. alfalfa, vegetnbles-there is moth
Ing that can be grown in this climate
that is not grown successfully in Salt
Lake county. The farm homes are. for
the most part. indicative Of prosperity
and pride on the part OF the owners.
1t was possible TO cover a large terri
tory in short space OF time by elm
mating speeches in each of the towns
visited, This was done without sacri-
fIcIng the information wanted by giving
the autoists booklets which gave statis-
tical information on each place in the
order visited These booklets were lib-
orally distributed all along the line by
George c. Cowing. assistant publicity
manager OF the Commercial club, and
will make valuable reference books on
the resources OF the county. The eX-
pense of preparing the booklet was borne
Jointly by the Commercial clubs OF the
county. Each club also furnished the In
forma ton concerning the territory In
which II was located.

Not Enough Autos.

The party left the Commercial club at
80 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Many
OF the automobile owners who had prom
ised to furnish the machines to carry the
tourists failed to appear. probably on ac-
count of the threatening weather: AS a
result there were no accommodations Tor
some who were prepared to go. twenty
three ma achines were loaded TO capacity
and started. Along the route others
joined in making about fifty In all.
The first stop was al Winder ward on
the east bench. Joseph Sutherland, pres
ident. and A. NJ Cornwall, secretary, OF
the East Side Commercial club, we're in
charge of the arrangements there. The
school children had been lined up In
front of the school house. On the fence
were boxes of some of the most delicious
peaches the tourists ever had the privi-
lcee OF tasting. They were distributed
and then the tourists, hurrylng on ac-
count OF being half an hour behind
schedule, went on.
Murray was the next stop. Here each
member Of the party was given whisk
broom made In the Murray broom fac
tory, one OF the citys many thriving In
dustries. Going south from Murray the
school children of two OF the schools had
been lined up at the roadside and were
singing and waving flags as the autoists
went by. The appearance OF hundreds of
school children all along the line. every
one OF them seemingly filled with the
boosting spirit. was one Of the most re-
markable features Of the day.

Visit SmeIter.

At Midvale the tourists were shown
through the big smelter OF the United
States Smelling company. This proved
70 ne an unusually interesting sight and
many regretted that the schedule only
permitted twenty minutes in which to
view the plant, They were shown
through by L. D. Anderson, superintend,
ont Of the smelter. Mr. Anderson proved
to be genuine booster. Returning TO
the office building OF the smelter, pretty
girls were hand 10 treat the party to
fine .'Mldyale lemonade.
Crescent was the next stop. Although
only brief one. the tourists were given
u glimpse OF another OF rhe many thriv-
Ing agricultural communities of the
county Here, as elsewhere, fruit was
showered upon the visitors a large ban
ner bidding Welcome to Crescent was
stretched across the highway. y. a.
Nelson. president Of the Commercial club,
was In charge Of the arrangements.
At Draper there were loads or fruit
distributed by attractive young women.
The school children were lined up in the
school yard, Handsome cups and
trophies won by the school In various
competitions were attractively placed In
front OF the happy group OF students A
big thresher slrieked a welcome as the
visitors arrived in Draper. But its lusty
whistle was almost drowned by the more
lusty voices OF The booster children

The Deadliness of Automobiles.

1.-The newspaper account runs: He at
tempted to cut across 9TH avenue at 44th
street through heavy automobile traffic
He narrowly escaped being run down by
a south bound machine and lodged di
rectIy in front Of one going north. A
wheel passed over his neck, killing him
instantly
mo street in the world is more amply
or efficiently policed than 9TH avenue;
nowhere is dense vehicular traffic better
handled. You can walk there for hours
without seeing driver disobey the po-
liceman's signal: but you will see I'M
patient pedestrians cut through the
stream of cars and carriages rather than
wait d minute or two until the officer
clears the way. This is true of the
crowded streets in nearly all cities. In
Chicago they have made brave attempt
to subject foot traffic at the busiest cor
ners to the crossing policemen; but many
pedestrians take unkindly to the min
ute's delay.
The automobiles innocent and even
inviting appearance, the smoothneSS with
eye deceive many as to its mortal prob
abilities when in contact with huma n
body. On crowded streets foot passen-
gers should not be permitted to cut across
the stream of traffic. Fair warning and
a few arrests would probably break them
of the dangerous habit"

Benefits Are Noticeable.

Of course, Washington has already
done much toward lettering street con-
ditions. Numerous steps have been taken
toward educating the public in making
the streets safe. These steps have in
many quarters proved effective, but in
others they have not resulted in much
noticeable benefit. This. il is said is due
to the fact that the people do not take
proper regard for them.
Belief has been expressed, however.
that by constant course along educa-
tional lines practically every one will be
reached in an effective manner, after a
little more of this work is carried on. At
the same time too. 1t is understood, more
plans for securing street safety in other
