Show i : SALT LAKE i J l CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. : ) i The dollar of a Catholic is as pood ( . as anybody else's dollar, i.n't it? Why f ' not try for some by advertising in the ' , columns of the Intermountain C'atho- I . lit-? Catholics read the paper and they trade with the advertisers in the pa- ? per. Why not get your share? I , -If you receive a i-opy of this paper, I end are led to wonder where it came I from, remember that some friend of I i yours has hpon 1 honsrht fill enough l i I !! md us your name and address, and " request us to send you a sample copy - Iree- I Salt Lake will offer for sale two of j ' her most valuable pieces of real estate f during the next week. The old Expo- I i . sition square, running from Sixth to 'I ' '- Seventh East and from Fifth to Sixth i South, and the old city lia.ll corner on J :i State and First South streets will be i ; ' ld to the highest bidders, according I ' to a resolution passed by the city eoun- i ! ' cii. f Major F. M. Foote of Evanston is a ; . puest at the Cullen. He says that the 1 ; winter has been mild in southwestern ' ! Wyoming, and that livestock have all f done well. As for the oil excitement, I ' the major believes that within a short I ; ' time two wells at least will strike a I food flow of oil. But at present the oil men are sawing a great deal of wood : and having little to say. Representatives millers say that ' i there is now in Salt Lake enough flour :! to supply the local demand for the ' corning six months. But a series of j ; heavy shipments of northwestern h ' wheat into this market are expected in J ! about a week owing to the renewed 40 cent rate on the grain. It is claimed ; that the northwestern millers will pay V no attention to this differentiation be- A . . ' , tvveen the wheat and flour rates, as 1 they have all they can attend to in supplying their Pacific coast and Asi- Htic orders, so that this little flurry in Ftah is of no special moment to them. !J ' T'tah millers say that northwestern ; wheat is not so good as the Utah pro- 1 ! duct, but as there is no Utah product ! 1his year, most anything will have to I , do. Citizens interested in military mat- 4 , '. tf'rs arc 'fgarding with anticipation I ' 1h advent at Fort Douglas of the i headquarters, band and one battalion i 0f the Twelfth infantry to take the place of K. L and M companies of the : Eighteenth infantry, who are to be re- ; moved to Arizona and Colorado. Sen- . ;. ator Warren of Wyoming beat Salt Lake out of the Eighteenth infantry hand and headquaters which were sent to Fort D. A. Russell, near Cheyenne, at his instance, instead of to Fort Douglas, for which they were originally slated; but it is not believed that the senator will try to get the Twelfth infantry in-fantry band away, for he cannot have i the earth, even if he is chairman of the I I senate committee on military affairs. I , , With a band at the post this summer, J the situation there will be greatly en- I : livened, and many Salt Lake citizens f spend their evenings at the fort i nen band conceits are to be given. I , Thf following figures show the in crease in price of the various cuts of bef in Salt Lake City during the past ; few weeks. These figures apply to all f r shops in the city. The first named is the price on March 1 and the second 1"e price last Saturday: j - Porterhouse steak. l$Kc, TZc- sir- ! ' "in steak.

Average increased price per pound, 2 3-5c. "Those figures are not reliable," de-; de-; dared Bishop Scanlan. with reference to the Catholic church census, publisher! pub-lisher! in the 1902 Catholic directory. It ; gives the number of Catholics in the 1'nited States as lft.976.73V in 1902, an : increase over V.m for the eighty-seven dioceses in the country of 201.765;. '1 see that fifty-five of the dioceses .li inn crconea wnn any gain at all." i the bishop continued. "I question the accuracy of this, the more so as I see the name of Salt Lake City among those cities that have not made any ' ; advance. "1 believe that it would be safe to say that the gain in the Catholic population popu-lation during the last year has been at least 150 in Salt Lake ami probably 500 in the whole diocese. These returns are made to bishops' secretaries by parish priests who as often as not just make a rough estimate of what gains or losses they consider have occurred in their various parishes, and so correct cor-rect the figures of the old census. The ; priests either have not the time to j :nake a census or are careless about figures." |
