lnterurban Trolley Line
Brings Cozy Nooks Close
to Inhabitants of City.
YING at the foot Of the Wasntch
range, between East MIL creek

range, between East MIL creek
and Big Cottonwood canyons, is
tho village of Holiday, which,
its residents proudly declare, is the
premier residence suburb Of Salt Lake
City. Some 60 stlll further and assert
that 1t is the most beautiful residence
district in the entire Salt Lake valley.
When Ben Holiday, pony express
rider and stage driver of pioneer fame,
built his cabin along the banks Of Big
Cottonwood creek in the early '60s,
the beautiful location probably did not
appeal TO him as much as the fertility
OF the soil. But, in any event, he could
have spent many weary days In search
Of its equal In beauty or productive
ness.
More settlers followed Holiday and
the community steadily grew, especial
" within the last two or three years,
until IL now boasts Of nearly 1000 in.
eabitants and is rapidly approaching
the stage where IL will graduate from
the village to the city class.
Until the arrival OF the interurban
about two years ago comparatively few
persons in Salt Lake knew little Of the
existence of Holiday. Now the trip
10 Holiday during the summer months
rs a tavorite with many tourists. as
well as with residents OF Salt Lake
who long for a breath Of fresh noun
tain air. And a gentle breeze is all
they get at Holiday. Situated as it Is
between the two canyons, the strong
east winds touch the community only
in the outskirts on the north and on
the south. while it enjoys the same
protection as Salt Lake City from the
cold north winds.
II the real canyon breezes are de.
sired, it is necessary to 90 a little
further. But Big Cottonwood canyon
IS only short distance away with its
many pretty summer resorts. where
one can spend the DAYS in restful Quie-
tude or engage in the more vigorous ex-
ercises Of mountain climbing or trout
fishing
Pretty Summer Homes.
Though the residents of Holiday are
always willing to boost any part OF
the state, it Is only natural that their
efforts are confined chiefly to their
own community. For that purpose the
Holiday Commercial club was organ
ized about two months ago. The first
step toward success in any organization
IS capable OFFICIALS, and the Holiday
Commercial club has them in the fol
lowing persons: Hyrum Nielsen, pres
ident; Or G. c. Emery, vice president;
j. T.. Moss, secretary-treasurer: W. f.
leo; Frauk Quist, DR.. G. c. Emery, J.
r. Moss. William G. Castro, George
Andrews and Hyrum Nielsen, members
of the board of governors.
Among the things that have occu-
pied the attention Of the club since It's
organization are the following:
Ten-cent ear fare between Holiday
aud Salt Lake; the extension OF the
street car line through Holiday from
Seventeenth South street to the mouth
of Big Cottonwood canyon; Official

Will Extend Car Line.

The extension Of the street car line
is practically assured. Though no Of
ficial announcement has been made, the
street railway company is favorably
impressed with the plan. and has taken
the matter up with the county COM
missioners with reference to a right of
way from Seventeenth South street to
the mouth of the canyon.
In years gone by the farms in the
Holiday district, as rule, contained
twenty acres or more each, but with
the rapid growth Of the community
during the last few years it has been
found necessary to divide them into
one to five-acre tracts in order TO take
care Of tho increased population. With
IN the last three years about 500 per-
sons>heve been added to the population,
and during 1918 nearly fifty new fam
iies established homes in the district.
The water supply in the community
is not excelled by any district in the
state, With the best of water rights
from Spring creek. Big Cottonwood
and Dry creek, thirteen miles of wa
ter mains have been constructed and
il is estimated that the community has
enough water at its command to sup
ply twenty-four homes to each acre Of
ground. Practically all of the homes
have water, electric lights and many

BURNS ARE FATAL
TO EVERETT WAT rs
REMAINS OF LITTLE BOY ARE
BROUGHT TO BLOOMFIELD
FOR BURIAL.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Watts, formerly
of Ottumwa, arrived here Tuesday
night with the remains Of their nine,
year old son Everett, whose death in
the Children's hospital at Los Angeles
occurred Wednesday, July 22. The
body was taken to the Moroney under,
taking rooms and prepared for burial
The parents accompanied the remains
to Bloomfield this morning.
The funeral will take place Thursday
from the Christian church at 2:30 p.
M, conducted by Rev. George Purdy
Interment will be made in the l. o. o.
F. cemetery.
The death of the child was the re-
suit of blood poisoning caused by
burns. While attending children's
picnic in Eagle Rock park at Los
Angeles, Everett received the injury
that proved fatal. The attendants of
the park were burning rubbish in a
ditch and a number of the children,
including the decedent attempted to
jump over the fire. His strength was
unequal to the task and he fell into
the fire burning both legs so severely
that death from blood poisoning soon
followed his arrival at the hospital.
Parts of the limbs were burned to the
bone.

working hard for the success of the

listed the services of several choirs
from different localities and this event
promises to be one Of the most popular
in the entire list and 1t will not only
help stimulate an interest in the old
music but 1t will also allow the singers
Of the county to become acquainted
and promote spirit Of general good
fellowship.
The only restriction which has been
placed upon the committee in charge OF
the music is that 1t is the old. old songs
that are wanted by the members. Each
choir Is to select its songs, not to ex-
coed three in number which 1t Is to
sing at the picnic and at the conclu-
sion about two songs will be sung by
the united choruses. 1t Is necessary
that each choir notify Frank l.. Dag
gett of Ottumwa of the songs selected,
so that in case of duplicate. the choir
