MeGurrin dislocated his left wrist Tuesday while playing golf at the Country club. As he is one of the rack players of the team to play in Montana, his comrades are hoping that his wrist will get well in time to allow him to participate in the coming eon--; ' tests. i 4 M.ijor Mi. hard W. Young and wife are receiving the congratulations of i ' their friends on the arrival of a baby boy, which event took place nearly Tuesday morning. t Food Inspector Joseph J. Meyers filed , his semi-annual report with the coun cil Wednesday evening-. It shows that ince Jan. I he has condemned 21.460 i pounds of meat and produce. He says the dairies under his jurisdiction are in "first-class condition," and the milk Inspected is of "excellent quality." Not only has the proposed packing house which it is the intention to erect in Salt Lake, the public and private endorsement of prominent business men of this city, but several of thepe have publicly declared their intention of supporting- the movement by subscribing sub-scribing for packing house stock. Other promises of subscriptions made privately to members of the Real Es-: Es-: tate association appointed to urge the I erection of the packing houpe justifies ! the belief that the necessary capital j -will be secured within ten days. I Although the date has passed for ! forwarding the first set of applications . to the war department of men who desire de-sire commissions in volunteer armies, ! in the event of another national call to ' arms, a? yet no men in Utah have sig- Inified a desire to get on the lists of those who may have the first chance. A scarcity of meat has been already felt in Salt Lake as a result of the I packing house strike. Now that the I strike is over, prices and supply will re- I siime normal conditions. I There ere practically no bananas on i the market at present, scarcely any of the stores being supplied. A carload i is expected soon from the south to re- 1 lieve the situation. Strawberries and I California apricots are no longer on sale, and cherries are fast disappear- I One of the Interesting features of the j parade in Liberty park on the 2"th will 1 be three of the old cannon which were hauled "across the plains" in 1847. One I . of them is the historic "Old Sow," j I known by that name because, after it I had been covered in a hole in the s ground, placed there by a number of I Mormon women in Nauvoo, to prevent I the mob obtaining possession of it, the I old cannon was uncovered by a sow, I with a litter of pigs, scratching for artichokes, arti-chokes, a desired article of food. - The Suit Lake Real Estate associa- tiou is considering a proposition to have a swing camera view taken of the city j from some suitable and commanding j eminence: say a view six feet long, j Copies of this will be mounted on J cloth, framed and sent to the larger t hotels about the United States. Owing t to the fact that the dense foliage for J "which the city is noted shrouds from I view so much of the town, the photo- I " graphs may not be taken until the I leaves ore off the trees in the fall. A decided departure from the usual I custom of giving their annual outing I lias been agreed upon by the Elks of I this city, and this year's outing, which ) is now being planned, will be the ; means of bringing joy to the hearts of j j the several hundred orphan children of the city, who will be the guests of honor on that occasion. Not only will j the children be the guests of the" Elks I on Purple day, but the proceeds from , the excursion will be turned over to 5 i ihe various orphans' homes for their J fbenelit. - f ' The Salvation Army, under the direc- l f Staff Captain Dale, has under- . taken ix work that should receive the support and sympathy of all interested t in help for the young. The Salvation- i ists have secured a tract of land near Liberty park, where they have estab- ; lislied a free outdoor kindergarten. The 5 ii'H is to continue the work done by J the free kindergarten during the regu- lar school term. |
