Show i'i Saunterings Burglars in San Francisco recently celebrated the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. DeWitt Knox at tneir apartment on Lake street, relieving them of considerable con-siderable clothing, silverware, and jewelry worth $1,200.00. The thief left behind a piece of cardboard on which was written a grocery order. That was the only clue the police had to work on, but it would seem to be explanatory of the reason for the burglary. Possibly the burglar's wife gave him a list, and with the present high cost of living, liv-ing, he did not know how to bring the goodB homo without stealing a couple of thousand dollars dol-lars worth of stuff. o The largest and most elaborate event scheduled sched-uled for the week of August twenty-second is j the affair to bo given by Col. and Mrs. Edward F.

A 1 number of dinners are scheduled to take place 5 preceding the run to the country, and the natives q will see the gayest procession that has wound U down the valley since the last fete at tho beau- . tiful country home. Is ,J For a long time those who have lived along tho Main street drive have wondered why the ,. city and county commissioners have not pro- k vided padding for tho trees, owing to the num- ;' erous accidents which seem to happen between Ninth and Twelfth South so early in the morn- " ing that it is hard for drivers to get their eyes i open. And too, it would bo an excellent plan to H establish a branch, emergency hospital some s' where along tho road, ready for any of those who light along the way. For the present, until the city grows a little larger, we believe that Ki one doctor and a trained nurse could handle all ij tho business, except at the week-end, when tho LJ force might be doubled. Gasoline is one of the H most wonderful and serviceable liquids of tho Fi ago, except when mixed with something else. r Now that George Cecil Cowing's friends have : forgiven him for not letting them know that he H was to bo married, they are congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Cowing, whoso romance culminated in gj Ogden recently in one of the surprise weddings El of the summer. The bride was Miss Anne It. a Cummock, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cum- ?" mock of this city, pnd Mr. Cowing has been in ! newspaper work hero for some time and latterly i in charge of the Commercial club publicity f . bureau.

The first baby ever born on an American battleship bat-tleship made its appearance on tho 'HJtah." Why certainly. The season at 'Pinecrest Ib now at its height. Considering with what little effort ono may leave the heat of the city and reach this beautiful mountain resort after a brief but delightful ride, it is surprising that a great many more people do not take advantage of the opportunity to go there. It is an ideal resort for women and children, the hotel is splendidly conducted and there are many who aro spending tho summer there, as it is so easy for tho head of the family to go up in the evening and leave In the morning in time to conveniently reach the office. The accommodations accommo-dations aro exceptional for a mountain resort, the rooms are splendid, the service is good and everything tends to making one's stay delightful. There are beautiful walks in the heavily wooded mountains, the surroundings aro ideal and unquestionably un-questionably Pinecrest is destined to become very popular. A personal inspection of the hotel and its surroundings is sufficient to prove the absurdity of a recent contention that one or two of tho methods of sanitation needed correction. On the contrary, it is as neat and clean as a pin and healthier environments cannot be found at any summer hotel. It would probably be much more popular if the management would serve light wines and beers with meals, as a great many gentlemen are used to them with their dinner. It would not be necessary to establish a bar or anything of the kind, and it would add considerably to the enjoyment of the place and could be so reg- ' ulated that it would not draw any of tho rowdy element. i A dozen girls were the guests of Miss Car- '.
