Saturday night last, a party of coming northward into the city at about 2:30 a on. In a Mercer car, lost a wheel just before arriving at Stratford avenue. The car was go with ing so fast that, apparently brakes applied, the car after losing the wheel slid on the rear right drum et the wheel the full' length of city block. This group did not have a jack at they had two extra spares. The though k young people remained In the car about an hour trying to keep each other from suffering from the severe cold and singing that wondrous refrain which has had so disastrous effect upon our local water supply. This, mind you, was about 2:20 In the morning, when we lowly mortals are supposed to sleep. Finally they piled out of the car. Into another that pulled along side. They came back next morning to doctor the crippled vehicle. The point Is, that the people or this district want the peace of the neighborhood held inviolate. If they have to get a bunch of vigllantees together to secure law enforcement, they will do it. They proved two years ago that there la punch to their assertions and they have not lost all of their pep yet. We cordially believe that when Ben Harries gets on the Job the resident-erIn this district will get the protection to which they are entitled.

He will specialise in groceries and meats and various foods required by the average family. "My object will be to furnish meats and groceries for family use at what I sincerely feel the people of the Southeast will say are real prices," said Mr. Best.

In turn, they want Uncle Sam to be so also; but to come across and deliver the goods twice a day Instead of only once a day. This little story la respectfully directed to the attention of the proper official under whose Jurisdiction this matter should come.

Hawxhurst, manager of the Princess Theatre, has also acquired the management of the Hyland. In the future, therefore, both of these amusement places will be directed by Mr. Hawxhurst. Renovation is already proceeding at both of the theatres and various decorative features are being added. The joint operation of these theatres will make it possible for a flfine of programs. It will also make available for Sugar House a grade of films that heretofore could only be brought out here at great expense. I feel that the people of thla section will speedily recognise the advantages of seeing fine pictures right at home, said Mr. Hawxhurst, this morning. In the first Instance, it will now be possible to offer here some of the finest productions ever filmed and that, too, at a great reduction In price as compared with up town offerings. I cant help but feel that fact should be attractive to our friends In this section. I shnll welcome your Interest in our offerings. HRE DEPABTMENT IMBROGLIO SHOULD BE SETTLED In a municipality where the human factor is so vital a consideration as in the fire department, it la obviously Imperative that everything be done to maintain the esplrit do corps and morale of the men at its highest pitch. It Is of very considerable Importance to the citizenry of Salt Lake that all troubles among the operating per aonnel of the local department be Ironed out and that, too, at any early date. The men, of course, are loyal to Salt Lake and they realize the importance of their being at their posts during this worst drouth exigency In years. Our citizens appreciate that But there is no denying that for some reason the present chief's leadership of the department has been seriously impaired. Admitting the fine, qualities of the local men, It requires no stretch of the Imagination to appreciate that until this matter Is acceptably settled, the fire hazard In Salt Lake has Increased.

Without presuming to know all of the ramifications that Invariably surround a complex matter of financing sn Institution of this sort, we respectfully ask just what the status of the affair Is. Possibly we need hardly remind our officers that the money for the support of this particular library has already been made available by the people of the Southeast. One must readily recognize that In a heavily populated section like the first municipal ward that a very substantial part of the taxes are paid by this district and at the same time there la a very (Continued on page 4.)

If that Is the case, either one of two conditions must obtain, 1. e. Either Salt Lake will suffer in the quality of Its firefighting personnel; or, if the city will not suffer. It Is obvious that there are deficiencies in the training the men have been receiving. It is unnecessary to state that under the present conditions. In case of a serious conflagration, a united firefighting force working under a direction to which they are outstandingly devoted could accomplish more than where 90 per cent of the men feel they have provocation to be otherwise. This is not a matter of personalities. It's a matter of protecting life and property. If only a half dozen men were Involved, it would be different. Certainly such a condition should not be permitted to remain unsettled to the augmenting of the fire hazard of the city, with Its attendant to fly to Logan and in this fashion to contrast a modern method of spanning the continent with the method used by Russ Maughan's fine, old pioneer Dad, was a veritable knockout as a celebration atteThat's a history ntion-getter. maker.

This observation was made by The Times Editor in a talk Monday last before the Sugar House Business Mens league. Ogden, an enterprising city of 50,000 Inhabitants, secures its entire water supply from a aeries of artesian wells In Ogden Canyon. The water Is forced from these well pipes by compressed sir made available by electricity. The flow can be controlled and cun be augmented as required alinply by Increasing the air pressure. BRIGHAM CITY ALSO U8E8 WELLS The speaker also mentioned the fact that Brigham City has fifty-twprivately owned and electrically operated wells. The water from Iheae wells is used for Irrigation. To look at the dry land surface in the Brigham City vicinity, one would hardly expect such great bodies of aubteranean water to underlie the city. LIBERTY PARK PRESENTS IDEAL- CONDmONlfV. tai have claimed that Geologists long the Liberty Park structure contains a substantial body of water. In order to make that water available, all that will be required will be the slaking of several good sized wells and the instal o lation of machinery for pumping. An artistic water tower could be located In the park, which would make the necessary pressure available. It la contended that such an arrangement would easily supply a vast portion of, If not, the entire Southeast, with water, aud that, too, with a quality of water that would not require chloronlza-tloto make It pure. Water towers are used all over the world where elevations era not available. In some cities, these towers are built along particularly attractive architectural lines ao they do not make for a tank town appearance. LESS MONEY NEEDED Such a supplementary water supply system would not require the elaborate outlay of . the . people's money that would be necessary in developing water far removed from Salt Lake and then bringing it here. The water la already here all It needs la developing. This proposal might find oppon- n (Contlnued on page 4.) WHAT IS THAT TRIBUNE JUST LODK AT L06AN?

EVERY SALT LAKE CORPORATION SHOULD TAKE SIMILAR INTEREST IN THIS VITAL COMMUNITY ASSET ITS BASEBALL TEAM Sometimes it takes a dramatic thing to wake ns up. In the realm of baseball, it was Mr. Lanes fear that he would have to turn the Salt Lake franchise over to a group of English friends across the Canadian border, that functioned as a Big Ben alarm. There has, however, been no more dramatic thing than for the great Salt Lake daily the Tribune to feature its appeals for the Salt Lake team on its front page !

One just can't help smiling at the foibles of politics. The other day one of our friends had on his chronic grouch and his same old face that Is still long enough to eat oats out of a churn when he Isn't feeling Just right. He was right down In the dumps about his Democratic politics. The convention at New Y'ork had shot things to pieces and it simply wasn't gonna rain no more. Now, that's a mighty serious thing In these parts. Its terrible. But to day we saw him and the eclipse had gone safely by. He was a personified aurora borealis and tripsun beam. ping about as a A wondrous radiance scintillated from his animated countenance. All was' hope! Twas so good to be alive! Ah! Ha! tia spring, Us spring, tra, la, tra faun-foote- d la! And it all came about In a matter of a few days from Indigo to pink! Such arc the foibles of politics. Anyone who Is not prepared for such contingencies ought to be mighty guarded about Unking up his personal destiny with any ward healer. Today It la and tomorrow It aint. Thats politics. A murmuring zephyr can blow things all to smitherines with Just a little blow or two. Your candidate can stand up on a rostrum and utter one single sentence leaving you with nothing to do but to ring for the ambulance, for him and you, among others. Two minutes before, he was a veritable colossus; now he could swim and splash about with ease in a thimble. Politics as such Is something like tho well known X of algebra. It's a sort of value to be determined. With the right breaks X equals something; with the wrong breaks, X equals 0. Participation In politics Is of course vital. It seems to us, however, that laymen can ill afford to become so with It as to lose their perspectives and that fine balance ao necessary to good citizenship. We defy anyone to draw a clean-cline between the platform offerings of the two major political parties. Why then, become so out of polao about a mere name? it seems to ns that the ablUty to put one's politics over In a corner and look nt the old thing Is something very much to be desired. ut GET IN STEP RIGHT NOW FOR A BIGGER AND BETTER SOUTHEAST ! |
