Eecles and Commodore Harry Tooker, of the American Copper companys South and Central American fleets, are In the city for a few days from New York City, where Admiral Eccles maintains naval The admiral went up north to look at his ranches in Idaho for a few days, but Commodore Tooker remained in the city, awaiting the return of his chief. Yes, said Commodore Tooker, taking another hitch in his waistband and tipping his sailor hat on the back of his head, it is a fact that Mr. Eccles has been advanced to the grade of admiral, while I, as his chief cf staff, am entitled to be addressed as Commodore. It was a well deserved promotion for both of us, and we feel that all congratulations bestowed upon us are merited. We are here for the purpose of selecting a few commanders, lieutenants, ensigns, bosuns and master mates. I understand the admiral was very desirous of securing the services of D. E. Burley, who would have been created a captain the moment he signified his acceptance, but Burley informs us that he would not know the difference between a ship's log and a copper pig, and that would not do, you know. Its funny. how ignorant of marine affairs some of these landsmen are, isnt it? We endeavored to get L. J. Keyes to ship with us as a purser, but Keyes declared he hadnt seen a purse in so long he wouldnt know one if he met it in the street, so he had to be let out. Chester Nason would have made a good bcsun for us, too, but he was afraid he might fall in the water some time and get wet and catch cold, so we had to let Chester out, too. I dont see how the U. S. navy, which has nothing to offer in Utah better than s machinists places, can exto pect get any recruits, when we cannot capture them by offering positions such as have been offered. We wanted Hy Dunn for a skipper, but Hy said he hadnt sailed anything larger than a schooner and was afraid he might get wrecked across some bar with a steamship. However, we still have some hopes. We have offered Dan Speicer a job as first class mate and are seriously contemplating giving Jack Reeves a place as executive officer. It looks as if he might accept, for Taggart said this morning that when Schumacher told him he was going to Chicago and for him to look after, the office, that Reeves replied, Aye, aye, sir! and we feel quite a bit encouraged. Its different with Dan. however. He is leary of going to sea for fear he might be violating the Elkins law.

One day last week a well known hackman, whose reputation as a liar has been achieved through several years of prevarication to tourists whom he has driven around the city, was approached by a lady at the Short Line station and asked what he would charge to drive her around the town until the next train came in, which was two hours later. He made an acceptable figure and she got in the hack. The driver started up South Temple street and when opposite the Cannon house began the spiel usually indulged in. The lady looked amused, but said nothing, and he continued on up Brigham street. Once upon that fashionable thoroughfare the fellows imagination fairly ran. riot. He told her how many wives this person had and which house held the first one and which the second, and kept it up until he got clear to the end, and then drove back down Second South with a repetition. He landed her at the station just a minute before the train came In and stopped to see her get on and to also see if there was a chance for him to get a passenger up n, quasi-militar- y - VICS-PM- 1, I - - |
