Show THE CITIZEN 6 TIDES. Unless a person: is an expert swimmer and lias perfect con fidence in his ability to make his way in any water, such person should avoid going beyond his depth on the seacoast when the tide is going out. Aro hear much of a treacherous undertow, but the expert sees little if any difference in the pulling powers of the water, whether on top or underneath. The tide rolls out very fast and if a swimmer gets out one or two hundred yards from the beach he has to work pretty hard to get back. If at that time he loses confidence in himself lie easily becomes a victim to :the strong current of the water and the Water God claims .. him for his own. Herald Hatch McAllister of this city lost his life a few days He had probably never taken into account the strength of , ago. the tide. He may have been a good swimmer, but when he found this unusual force combating his every effort, lie probably be- -' came excited and soon wore himself out in the death grip of the tide. The fire in Bingham canyon might have been worse. In the main, the private dwellings were built many years ago with no thought given to tire protection and most of the dwelings would be considered firetraps in a city of today. The property loss was nearly $100,000 and nearly 200 people were made homeless by the conflagration. The fire in this mining camp brings to memory the fire in Alta in the seventies when the entire town was wiped out. Alta was never rebuilt and what the fire did not destroy, the slides in later years demolished. Dana T. Smith, assistant counsel for the Oregon Short Line railway, was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of V. B. Armstrong on the city board of education.

There must have been many disappointments for calamity writers who keep the daily press filled with ifs and huts and red propaganda, which if not held in check will envelop ' the world. The first day of May was set for many strikes and uprisings, but low and behold the day was as quiet as Fast day on a . Sunday morning. AVhat demonstrations were made by the work- ing men were quiet and orderly and in most part were of a festive holiday .character, which shows that there need be no fear from labor if living conditions are made tolerable. When the workers are satisfied the community enjoys prosperity. The Bt. Bov. Joseph. S. Glass, C.

Alellc you know that the more you reduce the federal tax our city and county taxes go? Have a heart. . ADMINISTRATION KIRKENDALL AND COMPETITION INVITES SAVES OGDEN MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. The Citizen has not been backward in giving the people facts and figures in paving. If the taxpayers pay big prices or are overcharged, it is their own fault because an investigation will nvarably uncover the profits. Open competition for two jobs in Ogden will save the taxpayers over $30,-00- 0 in royalties. It has been the. publicity given by The Citizen which is forcing our officials to invite bids for paving roads. Many of our streets have been paved where there was absolutely no competition and the price and profit was set very high, as will be shown in the article herewith, and The Citizen invites criticis mon figures give nherewith, if there are any discrepancies. Ogden and Salt Lake have been known for several years to be closed towns except for certain kinds of pavement. Ogden has now opened its doors. When will Salt Lake do the same? Bids were received in Ogden last Tuesday (May 5) for 80,500 square yards of street paving. The specifications included asphalt, f bituminous or asphaltic concrete, and Port- patented Warrenite-bitulithi- c, land cement concrete. There were three paving districts. For one district, comprising 24,050 square yards, the following types of pavement were in competition: 2 in. asphalt surface on 6 inch concrete base (mix 1:3:6). patented Warrenite bitulithic surface on 6 inch concrete base (mix 1:3:6).
