Jle said In response to Inquiries 1 gave special attention to the work in ero of tho Chicago Cleveland and Denver associations and expect to Introduce In-troduce Into the Salt Lake association certain features which commended themselves as likely to be of profitable adoption here For one thing our night school system sys-tem Is to be enlarged and made more prominent A great deal of good can be accomplished along this line Including In-cluding good moral training and Christian Chris-tian culture But while the educational ecucatonal phase oC our work Is to be given special spe-cial attention our religious wore will continue to bo the principal thing One feature of the Cleveland inMUution struck me forcibly viz Its restaurant which Is well conducted and where meals are sold at cost The Denver association has a very good custom In the meeting at v a m dally oC the secretary assistant secretary secre-tary physical director mJ janitor for a season oT prayer before beginning the days duties Our gymnasium work will continue to be made f desirable Jeu ture of association work But I was advised everywhere Buy yon a lot a building site without delay and lay plans at once for an association building build-ing with the ground floor ylvon to stores to secure profitable rentals We will agitate this matter without eland el-and begin a systematic canvass for funds to start with The Y M C A work all over the country is Increasing wonderfully In power and Influence so that r at times stop and wonder How can ill this be but from now on there will be oldi tlonal vigor and strength dsveopol m the Salt Lake Y M C A anl it vii be made more than ever In Influence for practical good in the fol practcal good cornrnunty I i I a Kilpatrlck Sons Collins have shipped 35000 laborers from Chicago and the East to points along the line of Union Pacific reconstruction since the work began and out of all this number perhaps 7000 remained to work sid Contractor Spencer yesterday yes-terday at the Kenyon I myself Shipped 210 laborers from Kansas City and of these nine or ten remained The men would got out there and work for a short time and then scatter scat-ter and some never did any work at all A good number of these assisted tourists wanderer onto the up Oregon Short Line where they are now employed em-ployed Then a lot of them take to tramping through the country while some llnd employment on ranches or farms Of course this Is an unsatisfactory unsatisfac-tory way of doing business but there does not seem to be any help for It O 0 UAgrlculurl conditions around Sacramento Sac-ramento arc not good and In fact this may be said of the entire State because northern California as well as the southern half has been affected affect-ed by the summer drought which has been with us for three years now said A N Tyler at the Walker yesterday In central California the ground remained re-mained wet solonS In the spring that farmers could not put In their crops until way late and now they arc burned and damaged before reaching maturity But Industrially Sacramento Is doing do-ing well with the central shops of the Southern Pacific located there and now being enlarged The oilburning engines of the Southern Pacific do not run north above Tehachapl mountain below which it costs less to burn oil than It does to Import and burn coal While the State at large has suffered suf-fered San Francisco has been enjoying enjoy-ing 0 big boom with all this Government ment business dumped Into her lap and the city Is growing very fast a 0 President C F Meyer of the Meyer Drug company St Louis is at the Knutsford with Mrs Meyer This Is the first time I have been in Salt Lake for sixteen years said Mr Meyer yesterday yes-terday and I hardly knew the town when I came into It today Were it not I for the Tabernacle and tho Temple I would not know the city at all so many and marked changes havo been made Mr Meyer was asked about peace and order in St Louis and said The times of riot and disorder have passed and the street railway company has won Those who made the Indecent attacks at-tacks on ladles for riding on the streetcars street-cars were women and boys and It seems hardly possible that we could be living in a land where such outrages would be endured The Police board and the Mayor are held to blame for not nipping the riot In the bud Business has vastly improved in the lost year or two and the outlook for the coming twelve months Is very hopeful Mr and Mrs C F Meyer were entertained enter-tained at Saltalr last evening by Col Dan Y Wheeler of Omaha and Clem Schramm of this city Mr Meyer confessed con-fessed he would head ahlf subscrip ton list if it was possible to remove the saline sea to or near St Louis 4 Col Dan Y Wheeler
