' STREET PAVING WORK. The Council to Appoint a Board of Publio Works Before Anything Can ; , , Be Done, "j ... ':.;''', STATEMENT OF THE CITY ENGINEER Difficulties Encountered in Grading and Strengthening the Streets and What will be Done. . Mr. A. F. Doremus, the city engineer, was seen this morning aud asked for a statement of the progress made by the city in tho work of paving the streets. It appears that everything now depends upou the couneil, and that until a proper ordinance is passed nothing can be done. The first step, therefore, look-ing toward pavements must be a eity ordinance aud this ordinance must in-clude a provision for the appointment and government of a board of public works. Then will follow the organiza-tion of such board, with which will rest the decision on all matters pertaining to paving the streets. Not even can the paving of Commercial street be pro-ceeded with until this board is formed and organized. All this will take time, and it looks as if the better portion of the ' season of 1W)0 will pass before any material work can be accomplished in paving the streets. With regard to establishing grades throughout the city, Mr. Doremus la-bors under great disadvantages. There are absolutely no records iu the office of the city engineer which could guide the present incumbent in his efforts. Mr. Dorenius does not wish to east any reflections upon tho work of his prede-cessor in office, Mr. Jesse W'. Fox, who he says was handicapped at every move by the actions of the late, council. He was' authorized and required by or-dinances passed at different times to grade isolated sections of streets, and the grades thus established Mr. Dore-nius now. finds utterly useless. Nothing could be gained by such a method, and he claims that the only correct way of performing such work would be to take in the whole city, so that con-tiguous grades would guide each ether. Now he discovers, as he advanees.'thal all that has been done might as well have been left undone, because as he progresses from a certain base of oper-ations and comes upon the old grades he linds them so far out as to necessi-tate ignoring them entirely and making new ones. It is almost inconceivable that in a city the size and importance of Salt Lake there should be nothing whatever on .reccrd by way of reference. The streets are not even straight, and many of tho blocks are irregular in the posi-tions which they occupy With reference to a given line. Main street is perhaps the worst laid out in this re-spect of all the streets in the city. Property owned by individuals is found to encroach on the proper line of the streets, and other property to recede from such line. Mr. Dorenius is working on a plan to straighten out matters in such a manner as not to work injury or hardship to any one, and he hopes to be able to give satisfac-tion to all concerned. He is busily en-gaged in his surveys for grade and straightening, but time will be required WANTS. if you want help, 1 f you want to rent a house, !

The Crowds, the Ball Game, the Races, the Flambeau Club's Parade, and the Dancing. The season opened at Garfield beach yesterday in 1111 entirely satisfactory maimer. The day itself was enough to entice the most continued e from his shell to enjoy the glorious beauties of nature. The sun shone with genial warmth, tempered by a most delightful brce.e, refreshing and invigorating; and the surface of the lake, which stretched away to the northward iu a clear expanse for a hun-dred miles, was beautifully undulated by the geutlo ripples which flowed iu an eudless succession of little billows toward the beach, on which they lost themselves in a sweet murmur of delic-ious music.; The numerous buildings at the beach looked , bright , and refreshing in their new summer suits, and the bath houses, though yet (ill are not linisheil, invitingly beckoned to their seclusion where picnic garbs could be exchanged for costumes in which to enter the tempting water. As many as 0000 tick-ets were sold by the Union Pacific to people who desired to be present at Garfield yesterday, and added to this number were many who possessed passes or who had supplied themselves with the means of transportation out-sid- o the ticket ofliees. Arriving trains all through the day brought accessions to the throng, and the energies of the cafe people were taxed to their utmost to provide for the inner wants of the visitors, who all came iu the hungry mood. The lake seemed to be the most at-tractive point, and from early morning until late at night the large pavilion and the strip of pier leading to it were upon enjoying their little picnics in their owii way. Lager flowed without restraint, unit there was no lack ot stronger fluids; but during the whole day there was not seen a single ease of intoxication. The crowd was an ex-ceptionally orderly one in every respect. There was no need of blue coats and brass buttons, and while everybody that went to the beach was intent ou enjoyment, there was an evident deter-mination to lind it in a rational manner, without flow and without tieck. - A noticeable feature of the. occasion was the presence of scores and hundreds of pretty girls and lovely women; and it may be that these fair keepcis of the place contributed largely toward the good order and good feeling so re-markable yesterday. Out on the pier and under the shade afforded by the pavilion could be heard the music of the hand, to which gay dancers were keeping time; and in the lulls came wafted to the shore the merry chatter and bright laughter of the fail-sex- , whose zest and ardor was being cooled and fanned by the breezes that swept in from the far-of- f deep and the nearer islands. The game of baseball, contested for bv the University nine, and a nine picked from the members of the Flam-beau club, was finely played in the presence of a large number of specta-tors. Of course, the playing was not of that strictly professional character seen iu the east when Boston meets New York on the diamond field, and where the result is a goose egg to one in a game; but there were some very good points made and double plays were not infrequent. Cheered bv the vociferations of the onlookers, each side having its champions, the players went in to do their best; and although the Universitys retired losers there was not a man among them who did not feel that the Flambeaus though winners today might be losers tomorrow. The score was 16 to 10. There was failure in the proposed shooting match, which for some reason did not como off; but nobody seemed to miss the affair, nor was any explanation offered us to its omission. The foot racing came off as an-nounce.!, and the Liberal Drum corps enlivened the scene with fife selections to which the drums kept time. The Flambeau club appeared in full regalia and its members were the life of the day. Iu the evening they gave an ex-hibition drill, lit up by the lluming light of their flambeaux. Thero were no pyrolechnieal displays, it being whis-pered that the fireworks were being re-served for the great Fourth of July cel-ebration, now only six weeks away. It was 8 o'clock when the last 'train .flab tjTrwmSSi. Hysif s ' iHMal&rC-- imW; - ' ' GARFIELD BEACH. r from the city rolled into the station with another largo delegation of pleasure seekers, and presently these wended their way down to the pavilion to en-gage in tho pleasures of the dauce. At a quarter to nine many visitors left for home on the next to'the last train of the evening, but those who remained had a delightful time up to a late hour. The cafe arrangements, which have been made under the personal super-vision of Mr. Frank Washburn, were perfect in every respect. The gentle-men of the .press, who sat down about i o'clock to a little wine dinner given by Mr. Washburn iu their honor, hud a nice little picnic all to tliemseliies. The menu provided for tho occasion was excellent and consisted of ox tail sou), boiled trout with egi sauce, boiled mut-ton willi caper sauce, tongue and corned beef, cold tongue, hum.. pressed corned beef and mutton, fillet of beef with mushrooms, veal croquettes, queen fritters with brandy sauce, roast sirloin of beef, ribs of beef with browned potatoes, spring lamb with French peas; mashed pota-toes, asparagus, boiled potatoes, ami sugar corn; apple pie, rhubarb pie anil rice pudding with lemon sauce; Edam cheese, nuts, raisins and ice cream. It is the intention of Mr. Washburn to provide an equally good ' dinner throughout tho season, for which the very moderate charge of 75 cents will be made. The attendance is good nnil the surroundings scrupulously clean and attractive. Mr. Washburn has placed R. W. Johnson of Omaha in charge as manager, and C. H; Staus-bur- v of the same placo is the cashier. Thus is hastily described the opening day of the season at tiai'tield, and those who participated will long remember it as a day to be marked with a red letter. crowded with gay pleasure seekers; while tho water round about, up to a late hour, was thickly sprinkled over with those who sought refreshing by a dip in the stimulating brine of the mysterious sea. The air was warm enough for comfort, anil the temperature of the water was well up above 00 degrees, so that nothing, un-pleasant could bo anticipated from the effects of a bath. Little row. boats, gaily painted and fancifully doeoratetl, danced all day long on the bosom of the lake, the chopping waves gently moving the frail barques in a rythm'alie and tuneful measure, keeping time to tho gentle song they sang set by nature to nai lire's music; and the lazy rise aud fall of the oars, some of them moved by unskillful hands, glanced in the sunlight with be-witching and silvery brightness. A single yacht of diminutive propor-tions was soon filled by merry people who wished to venture beyond the shore line out to where the sea and the sky seemed to meet; and as her while wings were expanded to catch the breeze she sped away to the northward, careening beautifully to the pressure, like an imprisoned bird released from its cage. "All nature smiled," and yon-der stood Antelope island "inviting to her bright estates." Carfield lacks two important features which it is hoped another season will see supplied. There is no shade, save that given by buildings, and trees are sadly missvd; anil a swift-runnin- g steamer, designed especially for the scene, would add immensely to the enjoyableness of a day at the beach. It is surprising to the visitor from either roast that nere on (ire.it Salt Lake, whore every surrounding is fitted for steamboat 'excursions, thero is not a steamboat employed. The eastern sea-side resorts are always alive with craft of all kindsi moving about in all direc-tions, and each crowded with delighted people, who sing aud laugh, as over the rail their heads they trail iu the blue waves of the ocean. At Garfield there is nothing of this, whilo the calm of splendidly tinted water, set about with romantic isl-ands and surrounded by the most magnificent scenery "to be found upon the globe, seems to have been intended for no other purpose than to bathe in, to lave in and to skim over it in man's handiwork, continued to make the best of what lies so invitingly ou every side. Besides the cafe there is a tine lunch counter at Garfield, and here the hun-gry crowds regaled themselves at mod-est charge upon whatever their fancy and their purse dictated.. Others had brought luncheon with them, and then strolled off to secluded places, intent .. i i ' i paving wm.

If the best bank in Salt Lako would confidentially say to you that it would place to your credit $5000, to bo paid to your family at your death, whether it shuuld occur in ten days or twenty years, and iu considera-tion of said credit, you are required to pay, during your life, the taxes only on tho five' thousand dollars proposed, would you uot consider it an easy way of securing that amount of money to your family? Of course you would; and yon would not hesi-tate a moment at accepting it. Yon, as every other prudent man, would gladly seize' the opportunity of providing your family against possible want and cer-tain financial loss at your death. A life policy for $5000 in the Kansas Mutual Lifo of Hiawatha is the same thing except the cost per an-num is only about one-hal- f what tho taxes on the cash credit would be.
