Job printers are not tilling many orders for cards bearing the streotyped words: "Furnished rooms for rent." To date the newly organized boarding board-ing clubs in the city are a grand success. suc-cess. They are desirable in many ways and possibly the two prominent features fea-tures connected with them are economy and sociability. The difference these days between $18 and $;S0 per month for board is something to be possessed. ------ Since the refusal to grant a liquor license to the Franklin avenue theater the prospects for the erection of a similar place of amusement in the city are small. The Salt Lake city party now in San Francisco trying to secure funds for such a play-house will hear the news with crushing effect and return re-turn without delay. f Whila hnu'linfT nlnnir th Wvnmintr division of the Union Pacific General Superintendent Bancroft and General Freight Agent Kccles may finally reach Omaha. Once there they will confer with the moguls on matters of importance impor-tance respecting Salt Lake city. The return of the local railroaders will be watched and their news will be given The Times' readers first. -- -4- -It is 'not necessary to ring all the bells simultaneously to announce the fact that a great deal of new building will be dono this present year of our Lord.
