Show CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. May Irwin appears tonight (Friday) at the Salt Lake theatre in the clever play. "Mrs. Black is Rack." May biii f-'s her smile and her sung oke with her. The rush of tourists still continues, and local hotel men say that it is likely to continue for another month anyhow. any-how.

The new general gen-eral will be Joseph (Jeoghegan, at present pres-ent inspector general on Governor John ". Cutler's staff and acting adjutant general of. the guard. It is known that Governor Cutler has twice offered to promote Colonel Geoghegan to the posi-lion posi-lion of adjutant general, with the rank of brigadier general. Colonel Geog-hegan's Geog-hegan's friends now assert that he will accept the appointment, which will probably he made soon after the governor returns from Portland. Housewives will find nothing new. either in price or variety, on the markets mar-kets just now. There comes news that the oyster will begin to cavort joyfully toward the consumer next week, as a shipment is expected. On the first day of September these -will probably be "ready to serve, thereby fulfilling the. sdage that oysters are good only during dur-ing the months with r's in them. Of course, these oysters will not be sold on the last day of August, as there is no "r" in it. Governor John C. Cutler and party left on the Oregon Short Line Monday night for Portland to be present at the celebration of Utah day at the fair. The party included Governor Cutler, Mrs. Cutler, E. H. Callister.

The water shortage is still with the people of Salt Lake City, and there are no indications that it will be relieved in the near future. In spite of the assertions as-sertions made by the opponents of Mayor Richard P. Morris and his administration ad-ministration that there is no scarcity of water, the measurements taken by officials and employes of the city's water department show that the city's winter supply is limited. The mayor is seriously contemplating contemplat-ing issuing a. proclamation offering a reward to the person who will discover where the mayor has concealed the . , city's water supply, and he is of the I opinion that the attempted solution of this mystery would furnish interesting diversion to the "hierarch hunters" when business gets dull in their regular lines. With the near approach of the opening open-ing of the Uintah reservation to mineral locations, the reserve is naturally natur-ally the Mecca of hundreds of prospectors, prospec-tors, all of whom have the one purpose, pur-pose, first, of finding th fabled Caleb Rhodes lost gold mine and, incidentally as it were, picking up anything else that may to them look good. With Rhodes, who was a trapper and prospector pros-pector there in the early days of this section, died the secret of the where-. where-. a bouts of this mine, which, during his life, he was often heard to state, was j big enouch. that is. had enough f the I previous metal in sight, to liquidate the national debt. Rhodes passed away at his home near Price some three months ago and. though his demise was sudden, it is believed by many that he left with his wife plats and maps that would lead to the mine. Others, who have less faith, do not think that Rhodes ever had a. mine on the reservation reser-vation and think the whole thing is a myth. 4 Mrs. Isabel Cameron Brown, wife of ex-Senator Brown, died Tuesday afternoon after-noon nt the family residence, of stom-; stom-; ach trouble.
