Show : SALT LAKE 3 -f -f -4- -f 4- -f -f -f i CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. f Work of excavating for the fnunda- f j tions of the new David Keith building j ; on Main street was begun this week by Contractor Curley, who will receive i $52,000 for the work. I l .; The entrance examinations for Yale I ' university will occur in the latter part i of June, instead of July, as announced I . a few days ago. I , Governor Wells is in receipt of a f , check for $34 from Modena, for the I benefit of the Martinique sufferers. The I w communication accompanying the. I check is typewritten and sets out that i i ' .. the ?34 represents the subscriptions of i 1 the men. women and children of vhe i little city, and that they symparhize I deeply with the unfortunate people of I Martinique. The -communication is I signed "Citizens of Modena," in typ'i- f ' writing, but the check is signed by j ! , , . Frank Knight, a business man of the . ? place. The money will be forwarded I , 1 . at once to the committee in New York j j 1 having the subscriptions in charge. Utah Kyune sandstone has been . 1 ; ' shipped in large quantities to the I'a- I cilic coast within the past few years, t and now Boise, Ida., is importing it I quite freely, as it is superior in qual- . ity to the Roise rock and is more easily . dressed. The Potter Gray Stone com- 1 pany, whose quarries are on the West- ern's line, is preparing to do a more 1 extensive business than ever, and the Walker Bros, are about to reopen their quarries near by the Totter company's 1 . properties. I The Aleatraz Paving company will not be permitted to use the soft brown I ' stone it has quarried at Heber for ! . street paving in Salt Lake. Engineer j Kelsey dropped on the scheme, and drove out to Heber to make sure of his h suspicions, to find that they were cor- , ' ' rect, and that it was from the soft and easier quarried deposit that the paving company was getting its material. lie forbade their using the stone and , the company filed a protest with the I board of public works; but it did no good, and the company must use the harder stone. I : The Plymouth Land & Colonization it. company of Payette has arranged to I place on the market 6,500 acres at 2 Bliss, as a system of irrigation has i been perfected for that section. There i is a continuous tide of immigration re- ported as coajing from the east, par- ticularly Nebraska, and there is in con- sequence a great scarcity of dwellings i at Payette and New Plymouth. The . . new school house at New Plymouth is I already inadequate, and additional I ouarters will be necessary immediately. I It is also said that the fruit crop this f ". year in the Payette valley will be a 1 reoyd breaker. The new state bank I will shortly be ready for business. I, I John J. Daly, the well known mining man, and William M. Bradley, the attorney, at-torney, this week presented a petition to the probate court asking that they be appointed executors of the last will , ! ; , and testament of Dr. Allan Fowler, I who died in this city on the 7th inst. I The petition states that the value of I the estate within the jurisdiction of this court is $130,000, which consists principally of personal property, cash ' j in the ba.Vt, Salt Lake City municipal j bonds, stock in the Daly-Judge Mining j company and Consolidated Railway As . : i Power company bonds, etc. All of the j heirs of the deceased are residents of i Virginia and Tennessee. The hearing f the petition is set for Saturday, May ri, before Judge Hall. The will has f not yet been filed. j At a meeting of the board of direc tors of the Utah Savings & Trust com-i com-i pany, held at the bank Monday after- 1 noon, John J. Daly was elected vice J , president, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of T. P.. Jones, who has I served the institution faithfully for the 1 j ' past several years, Mr. Jones having I J sold his stock in the company. Samuel J ' . H. Auerbach was elected a director to I fill the vacancy caused by the resigna- I tion of E. W. Genter. . I ' The Grand theatre was well filled last j Monday night by those who had a de- j sire to hear Mrs. Lenora Austin Ham- ! I iin lecture on "The Commercial Value I 1 :f Civic Beauty." The affair was held I under the joint auspices of the Com- I mereial club and the home education 1 ' j section of the Ladies' Literary club, j i and after a few introductory remarks J i I had been made by W. A. Nelden he in- I trodueed Mrs. C. E. Allen, who in torn I , 4 introduced the speaker of the evening. I Mrs. Hamlin is a clear, fluent talker. 1 ' : , ami held the attention of her audi;noe. I j She said that no city in the Union was I better adapted for a system of public. I ; parks than Salt Lake, and added that I ' ', lawn plats should be piaced in the e.n- 1 . . ; tor or on the side of the streets, which I ; would not only cut down the pa.-ing J expenses, but would make the city so I , attractive that it would be infinitely J , more valuable to the people than a I union depot. She said she could l.-er- j ceive a lack of public interest m 7:iu- j 1 ' nicipal affairs in this city, and so lorg I 1 as that condition continued there would j " be no stop to the waste of public lunds. , 1 Mrs. Hamlin stated, in conclusion, tnat ' j if the people ever attained to 'heir ! ideals in civic government they -vould j : "nave to work together not only with I the civic spirit but with intelligence. Ii The committee in charge of the arrangements ar-rangements for the observance of Memorial Me-morial day met in Colonel Kaighn's omee last Monday night and made preparations for one of the most extensive ex-tensive demonstrations ever witnessed in the city upon that occasion.

The line of march will be from Market and Main streets, north on Main to Second South, thence west to West Temple, north to First South, east to . , Main and north to Brigham street: I countermarch on Main to Second South, east to Second East: from here the organizations will go to the re-' re-' j sportive cemeteries to which they are assigned. . Tne organizations participating in ' ; ; the march will be: Governor and staff, !

All Hallows' cadets, and High ' school cadets. j It is estimated that the line of march j will be at least a mile and a half long. ! Arrangements are now being made to have the school children lined up at ; some point of the line and strew flowers flow-ers in the patch of the marching vet-I vet-I erans. The committee is also making 1 arrangements to have the school children chil-dren gather flowers and take them to the various school houses on the 29th, from which places they will be gath-I gath-I ered by the committee and made into bouquets, to be used at the cemeteries.
