Show TRUTHS. Salt Lake settled its street railroad strike a great deal better than San Francisco will do. There wasn't a shot fired or a person seriously hurt in the Salt Lake strike, while the first ( ay's record in San Francisco was four dead and a score wounded. Salt Lake people arc pretty good people, hierarch or no hierarch. Thalia Grant Orahood, (daughter of Geo. D. Grant and Elizabeth Wilson Wil-son Grant, Utah Pioneers of 1847) born July 17, 1836, died at 639, 9th East, at 7:30, on the morning of May 3th, 1907, after a lingering illness. Her only surviving sisters arc Mrs. Julia Gilman and Mrs. Josephine Snyder. Mrs. Orahood has been a sufferer and confined to her room for some five years. It was reported in the papers the other day that somebody who calls himself a practical joker, masked himself, him-self, entered an office in the Eagle block with a gun and held up the proprietor in true highwayman fashion, fash-ion, taking from him what loose change he had in his pockets. A few minutes later the idiot came back, explained the "joke" and returned the money. Some people arc more kinds of d fools than can be expressed in a dozen languages. At this (Saturday) evening's annual banquet .of the Credit Men's association associa-tion at the Commercial club, President Presi-dent Arthur Parsons will preside as toastmastcr. The following list of toasts has been prepared: "Nevada Legislation," M. Thomas; " Our Og-den Og-den Members," J. W. Abbott; "Community "Com-munity Advertising," Fisher Harris; "The Adjustment Bureau," John Q. Critchlow; "The Value of Organization," Organi-zation," James Ingebre.tsen; "Our Relations With the National Association," Associa-tion," H. Van Dam, Jr. The Tribune again figures in the role of a mendicant. Furious J. has been on a begging expedition for a couple of morths, but this time it appears ap-pears failed to work the women's clubs. Now he is trying to "bleed" Mr. Harriman, working on the railroad rail-road magnate's antipathy to President Presi-dent Roosevelt. If Mr. Hhrriman will pay for it the Tribune is prepared pre-pared to wage war on Mr. Roosevelt. It's funny too, the claim of Furious J. that the Tribune can control the electoral votes of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Wyo-ming, and perhaps Nevada. The Tribune cannot control the tenth part of one electoral vote anywhere. It however needs the money. A party of representative business men of Salt Lake, Ogden and Provo are going to Spring Valley, Wyoming, Wyom-ing, to look over and investigate the oil wells and tcfinery of the Pitts-burg-Salt Lake Oil Company. The party wil' leave in special Pullmans attached to Oregon Short Line Passenger Pas-senger Train No. 5, leaving Salt Lake City at 7:10 a. m., Sunday returning, leave Spring Valley Sunday night arriving in Salt Lake Monday morning morn-ing about eight o'clock. The cars will be set off on the refinery spur for the use of the party. The production and refining of oil so near home will be an important factor in the future business of this state, and being a new industrry in this region, it is of interest to the public. |
