Mr. Mulvey has secured a line of attractions of a higher grade than any seen heretofore at his popular house. Now and then the prices may be advanced to meet the expenses of some extra production, but, in the main, popular prices will prevail and the best for the money will be the motto for the coming season. Mulvey announces an engagement extraordinary for next week. It is one of the heaviest bookings at the Grand, and in consequence prices have been, of necessity, advanced. Through the efforts of Mr. Mulvey, however, the parquet te prices have been put down to II, while people elsewhere have been paying $1.50 to see the musical comedy, A Runaway Girl." That the production Is a most excellent one Is fully attested by the many flattering press comments. The proud name of Daly Is upon its banners, and that in Itself should stand for high theatrical at- ft tainment. The company is an unusually large one, consisting of over fifty people, including the clever and versatile comedian, Mr. Arthur Dunn. A Runaway Girl sparkles with new and catchy music, witty dialogue and handsome costumes. The chorus is said to be especially fine, full of pretty, shapely girls who know how to sing and sing well. Altogether, we may look forward to a week of enjoyable recreation.

Such of the crops as are now in have received a good premature soaking, and this will give them a most excellent start, while the ground has been put in most excellent condition for such as may be put in the ground in the future. It is a pretty outlook. and George W. Thatcher, president of the Thatcher Rolling Mills and Elevator company, have beeen in town during the week. Conference is coming, and with it a probable meeting of the Utah State Manager Thomas Millers' association. The action as to the coming together of the farmers and the millers as to an agreement of prices, it is said, cannot be much farther delayed. There seems to be not the slightest hope of the Salt Lake county people getting together until definite action is taken by the State association, and it seems to be a general sentiment among the millers and dealers that the State association will take some definite action or quit altogether. long-delay- ed Mr. I might be viewed differently. But such is not the case. Good crops seem to be universal, save in one or two sections, and the preponderance of heavy production in all the others has more than made up for the partial failure in one or two. j . The season If these good reports from the country were from one district only, or half a dozen for that matter, things has attained such deserved prominence among local organizations, will appear at the Salt Lake Theater one week from today and also during the week following. We have ccme to regard this company as an institution in which we may repose the fullest confidence for thorough and conscientious work, it is doubtful If a more capable amateur company can be found. The chorus surpasses many of the professional traveling companies. The work of the principals, as well as the chorus, may be safely counted upon to sustain the best traditions of the company.

Samuel Francis, the veteran of Morgan county, whose home is in Morgan City, says the potato yield tEere has been something enormous this year. There has been twice the area planted, and the prices are 125 per cent higher than they were a year ago. Hyrum Hayball, the Logan merchant, was in the city during the week. Logan, he says, is more prosperous than it ever has been since he has resided there, which is some time. The first of the sugar made at the Lehi works is on the market.
