Show HOTEL GOSSIP The crowd at Los Angeles and the Intense heat and lack or hotel accommodations daUons made the convention anything but enjoyable to the most of those who went out there said Miss G A

schools who held a normal school session at Los Angeles during the educational assoc1a lions convention She gave them a talk on penmanship nod the best method of teaching I Hotels were crwdM said the lady and late comers were crowded lve and six into a rom with no reduction of rates which were universally 11 a night fur lodging Dining rooms and restaurants restaur-ants were unable to handle the crowds and it was only after long waits at tach meal that anything could be had to eat l the next convention which necessarily must occur during the heated term Is not located in some city where hotels can handle the big crowds and where the clmate Is not as torrId as that of Los Angeles by the teachers it will not be largely attended Merchants are purchasing largely and trade was never better sail James 31 Hegan of J V Frwel Co Chicago at the Knutsford yesterday I have been In the city several fays and my large smple roms here In the hotel have been visited by a great many merchants I have had a big trip and sold some very big orders In this city One order I bookul for a leading establishment In Salt Lake City hued thirtysix pages of my order book I find trade everywhere good but nowhere Is I equal to this In terountain region i H C Stayer president of the Slaver Curriage company of Chicago who is I visiting Utah In company with John B Parsh the Denver mining expert to look into some Utah properties is an old or schoolmate or Charles S Fisher proprie tor of the Walker house He Is a manufacturer manu-facturer on an extensive scale and employs em-ploys upwards of IJ men Bow long the present business activity that eXIsts throughout the country will continue uld he yesterday no one can predict with certainty still it Is not Ikel that conditions can be disturbed for sometime some-time When England Is In troubie it means an era of good times for the United States Just now England has her hands full with the trubles over the Transvaal I England Is making ever preparation for war to the neglect of all other maters The Republican Iron Steel company the biggest concern In the United States has jut contracted with the British gO I erment to deliver as speedily as possible 10 JO tons of Iron products Wnen the Iron industry Is booming it sets In motion the machinery In every line of manufac I lures No country has ever been more exag gcrated or misrepresented than the Klon flke and It has been principally due to the greed and rivalry of the transportation transporta-tion companies said George H Armstrong Arm-strong yesterday at the Kenon Percy 1lcDougl and I are Englishmen and we went to Dawson two years ago and were among the trst In there after the news of the gold discoveries reached the outer world Even as early as we reached there we found nearly all the desirable placer claims taken uP although of course many I have since been discovered and some of tle newcomers have done well The majority however arc broke and anxious anx-ious to get away The worst thing to contend with is the mining laws and officIals The later are notoriously corrupt and pursue a systematic sys-tematic policy of blackmail towards prospectors pros-pectors and miners 11 lcDougal and myself were both on the miner com mitee that endeavored to get a modilca ton of the laws and a change of officials but the committee was not successful There has been no real 1 sufferirg in find reDha t fsgs around Dawson that is to say sttra ton Wages are now 5 per day and boar and while man are out of work and broke they have managed to eat and get along On the trails and in sectIons remote fom Dawson there has ben a great deal of suffering and even death Both lrArmstrng and 11 lIcDougaI are young Englishmen of wealth and re lnemcnt but they were very reticent about how successful they had been They admitted that they were going back again after a visit to England and acknowledged acknowl-edged that they had a few nuggets to take hack to friends In the old country hut would not acknowledge they had struck anything rich Ye lynching Is on the Increase In the south and i Is to be deplored said President Powers of the Alabama state university yesterday at the Knutsford but so Is the debuchery of white females fe-males by negroes The Intel ent people of the south deplore the conditions and are honest and sincere 1n their efforts to put a stop to it Vet if people I will stop t 1111 il SeOt gje r g and consider the subject they will realize the dllcult of doing so A man may be most sincere In his desire to have the lynehlngs stopped and the laws enforced lynching ant and direct all his efforts to such an end Yet the moment one oC the females of his own home circle 15 assaulted by one of those merciless black Uends he Is aroused to frenzy and all the brute in his nature comes to the surface There Is no swift I vengeance he Is not anxious and eager to mete out to the scoundrel met lynching grows The rme of rape does not cease Another great trouble Is lynching for one crime begets lynching for another and the list grows and It Is difficult diffi-cult to say where It will end In the south the best minds includIng those eminent colored educators Booker T Washington eolorel eucator of Tuskeegee and W H Council of Hunts villa both of whom conduct negro colleges col-leges In our state have given the subject serious attention but the remedy or preventative pre-ventative has not bten found ventatve i Tramps are beginnIng to go around Denver since I inaugurated the rock I pie said Police Magistrate C 31 J Thomas of the Colorado capital last evening even-ing at the Yey hotel Fully 50 per cent Is a fall estimate of the decrease In the number at cases now daily heard in our I police court and the number that formerly for-merly
