Show : SALT LAKE 5 4- I i CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. In 14 Salt Lake was nearly six feet higher than it is at present. The wati washed the banks within a few feet of the "Y" where the trains run. The vater lias now gone fully three-fourths ' of a mile further out. Following; the precedent set during: the Pioneer jubilee in 197, the city council appropriated $4,000 to pay for, the street liphting decorations during the Elks' convention. The money wiil be well spent in this service, and as an investment its value is unquestioned. The latest isihatthe New York delegation dele-gation of Elks will bring with them to I !a)l Lake the Seventy-first band, un- ' . oW Franchiulll. the Italian who was f 1rr several years in command of the ; United States Marine band at Wash-' Wash-' ington after the resignation of Sousa. It is also reported h:.t the fine band of the Fourteenth . infantry will o brought out by tbe Columbus delegation. dele-gation. , I Among the bands which promise to participate in the Elks' band contest ; are the Tweny-second infanry band j of Fort Omaha, the Second Kansas, th i Midland of Colorado Springs, the Ouray ; band, n artillery band from the Pre sidio, the City Band of Milwaukee and IS others. ' "William M. Roylance. chairman of lh Democratic state committee, has appointed William E. Rydalch seore- wry. The office will be maintained in j - Provo, at least till after the state corw : vent ion, which will be held here oft Sept. 15. There was a little knot of Rio Grande i ' Wpstern officials and pmnlnvps. not pv- 1 eluding "Mikado Hashimoto," the Jap J i labor agent, at the Oregon Short line I i depot recently, who had gathered t I shake hands with Mr. A. E. Welby and I wish him Godspeed on his way to Peru,' vhre he goes to manage the railroad I that is to be built by A. TV. McCune I and James B. Haggin from the sea I coast through to the copper mines, an 1 on to the deep waters of the Amazon I river. J I The Butte Inter-Mountain says: I "Salt Lake drummers, who are Elks I and they mostly are are bringing the I attention of the traveling world to the I '. meeting of the grand lodge by writing j S;ilt Lake, August the Tenth,' after I their names on the registers." f Charles P. Madsen & Co., who for the past three months have entertained I thousands nightly with their fine stere- S ;pticon views at the corner of Main I nd Second South, have transfiie'jl t ; their pictures to 57 and 59 West Second . South. The stereopticon apparatus i J I - in front, instead of behind the screen, I ' "which makes the pictures much larger. The rivalry of the different business 5 , streets to win the Saturday night crowds is getting interesting. I . General Manager Jacob E. Bamber- I per of the Daly-West made the an- I . iiouwement that the magnitude of the I company's operations had made it im- t . perative that Superintendent John A. I j Kirby should be given an assistant, i and he was glad to say that the com-; t pany had been fortunate enough to secure se-cure for that important position the hervices of Newton Dunyon. Few men in the state have a belter reputation j or arc more widely known among min- ( rs and mining men than is Mr. Dun-on Dun-on and hi"! host of friends will con- I ; pratulate not only him. but the com- I ' pany as well, when they learn of his 1 preferment.

French,, vice .president .presi-dent of the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, arrived in the city yesterday. Father French was in Salt Lake three years ago and was so impressed with the city as a health resource, its wild yet -natural sceneries, that his desire has been to spend a part of his vacation vaca-tion in the far west. Many friends and old pupils of Notre Dame will be pleased to meet him. - . |
