Running TO lehi
They Are Gravel Cars, But VIII BE
Supplanted With Passenger
lars This Month.

The inte~urban railway has shown
much activity in Lehi this week An
engine and train of cars have been
hauling loNds of gravel on the track
to the north Of town, while gang
OF Japanese have been tamping It un-
der the tier. Just north of the waste
ditch II has been necessary to raise
the track over five feet through a
slough, and on the street leading east
from the sugar factory II will be ne
cessary to haul In severa feet of
grade. At the latter place II is Deces-
sary to back the cars I'm ahead of the
engine and unload the gravel, as the
ground Is too soft to hold up the en-
CINE till after II has been ballasted
The company this week has also
aced lot OF poles on each side OF
Third North street, which will carry
the electric wires that will propel
the electric cars. The poles will be
ITO feet apart. They are thirty feet
above the ground and will also carry
the telephone and power lines. They
are being placed on the street now to
carry the cross lines that were too
low to permit the engine that draws
the construction train to pass under.
The three gasoline cars from Berk
ley. CAL, arrived In Salt Lake City
this week and are ready for service.
They have a speed of sixty miles per
hour and will be used to run from
Salt Lake City to American Fork soon

TO this point. Mr.. Armstrong is au-
thority for the statement that Amer
lean Fork will be the terminus of the
road till the rails are laid to Provo
and the road Is surfaced That the
gasoline cars will be used only tenn
porarily; that soon as the weather
breaks men will commence erecting
poles and stringing wire and when
conaections have been made with
Provo the poles and wire construction
wiz also have been completed and
then the service will be changed from
gasoline to electricity. He anticipates
this change will be made early in
June. The electric cars have been |
ordered and will soon be on their way |
TO Salt Lake City. The three gaso- |
line cars will be used only temporar-

Stake Union and
Priesthood Meetings
President Clark Explains Stake Tab.
- ernacle History.

Considering that so many were I'm
attendance at the Sunday school con-
ventiOn at Provo, the attendance at
the union meeting last Sunday was
very satisfactory.
President James H. Clark presided
at both the general services and the
priesthood meeting. He gave brief
history OF the Stake Tabernacle to
GATE. Before the building was com
menced the stake presidency decided
tnat such a building was necessary
ior stake gatherings. Then they put
tne question up to meeting of the
nigh council. who decided unanimous
~ that such a building should be
erected. Soon after this the matter
was presented at general priest
mood meeting and they too voted un-
animously that the time was ripe to
commence work. Following this the
matter was presented to a quarterly
conference OF the saints and they voted
TO sustain the action of the general
priesthood, and later another quar-
terly conference voted afirmatiyely on
the question again.
The plans were taken to the presi-
dcncy Of the church. and they helped
10 select those that were thought TO
% the most suitable, and suggested
that inasmuch as American Fork
would use the building more than the
other wards. this city should supply
one half Of the funds with which TO
ouild II. This was agreed to and one
half OF all the assessments have been
allotted to the American Fork four
wards Besides this the site was do
mated by American. Fork.
The committees have all served
without pay and most of the work
mas been let by contract to the lowest
bidder
He also explained why the dancing
moor was put In the basement for the
Relief society, NJ. |. A. and other stake
gatherings. the springs adding only
SOS to the cost.
In answering the many questions
propounded II was learned that ex-
elusive OF the organ the building will |
cost approximately $4,000 when com
pieted. whereas the architects orig
mai estimate was but $2S. 1000.

passed fixing the duties and salaries

the present paved area. The new
district will give Lehi about twelve
miles of paved sidewalks

"The Iron TraiI.'

The Iron Trail" by Rex Beach is
new story of the rich and fascinating
Northwest. He portrays the scenic
beauties of Alaska and gives us a pic
ture of the people who make that
their home.
Ii is an attempt To show that the
conservation policy of the United
States is built on a false premise. The
reader sees both the type of investor
which caused the adoption of this pol
icy, and on the other hand. the men
who do the big things for the benefit
of the country. We are brought i'm
contact with the master builder of
railroads. He loves the country and is
seeking more than mere money and
aSgrandiSement from this rich terri
tory. But his best efforts are hindered
rather than helped by the conserva-
ton policy.

THE LIQTOR MAN SPEAKS.

Too often of late the Minister OF the
Gospel has been burdening US with his
pessimistic views about the awful con-
dition of religion, the decadence of our
age and our coming ruin. In hopeful
contrast to this comes the statement
of one of the country's great distillers.
This country is getting ready for a
world-beating revival of religion"
He brings as the chief two supports
of his views the Nationwide movement
for prohibition and the cooperation of
the churches. Roman Catholic. Pro-
testant and Jewish, in their work.
Their methods are 'commonsensical'
instead of controversial he says.
Look out for the big revival. Its COM
ing sure,"
And this from the kind of man whom
most persons look on as an enemy of
religion. because it wars against his
business.

New York commuters are sped back

trains: in San Francisco they are
obliged to spend a great deal of their
time in the ferryboat lanes of San
Francisco Bay; in Columbia they are
motored to and fro in bus. Column
bia commuters can step into their
suburban car OH Broadway and be at
home in five minutes. The WestwoOd
and Westmount bus is Columbia's s
street car. 1t is operated simply to
provide transportation service to the
residents OF the new additions west
of the city, according to J. A. Stewart,
who owns the line and most of the
property in that section.
The Westwood and Westmount bus
is a large motor car with closed,
rectangular body. modelled after the
architecture of a street railway car.
Viewed from the outside person
might relate its shape to that OF a
caboose. but inside he could easily
imagine he was in a regular street
car, the kind that runs OIL steel rails.
The small windows may be opened or
closed to suit the weather. There are
small push buttons which the passen-
ger may use to stop the car at his
crossing. The seats run lengthwise
and there are small electric lights in
the top. Like the ordinary motor car.

COLUMBIA AND FIRE PROTECTION.

Columbia has reached the fire pre-
vention stage, and it is largely through
Chief Kurtz's interest in this kind of
work that it has been brought about.
Mr.. Kurtz, with the assistance of
other men interested in the matter.
has been inspecting the conditions in
Columbia. Rooming houses. fraternity
houses and public buildings have been
examined as to fire escapes. electric
wiring and general conditions. Not
as much action as should be has been
taken on the suggestions made by the
inspectors But even then their work
has its value Mr.. Kurtz is gathering
a great deal of information as to
where prospective trouble is. and no
one can tell just which one of the
little precautions taken here and there
is the one that will keep the big fire
from starting.
The latest step in this direction is
the interesting of the school children
of the city in the matter. The prize
essay contest started by the business
men should be a means of getting this
knowledge of fire prevention where it
will do much good-to the children
and 10 the homes.
But one more sub-campaign might
be started with a great deal of profit.
That is a campaign against the COM
mon habit among students in rooming
houses of emptying their pipes and
throwing cigarette and cigar stubs into
the wastebaskets. 1t has been fools
luck" that has prevented many fires
from starting in this way, but that is
no proof that next time will not bring
disaster.

WHAT'S TRUE CULTURE!

The soul of culture is the culture of
the soul" There is a truism which
could be thought on for days with
profit. 1t was made by Doctor Willett
in his lecture upon the worth of the
Bible.
We say that We believe it and then
proceed to disregard it. Yet the very
first desire of an education should be
to acquire the real. the true culture. II
is not an extreme statement to say that
many students knowledge of the BIZ
BILE is limited to what they hear in
explanation of references in the Eng
lish classes.
