Show i ! SALT LAKE j '. i ", 1 CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. I There were twenty-three candidates ' J for positions as teachers in the public I '; j schools examined Monday in the "' ; West Side High school building. Mayor Thompson has begun replac- ! ing the old destroyed shacks on East 5 Second South street with a substantial j ' brick structure to be used for business purposes. ! 1 The summer courses in German offered of-fered by A. C. Rees of the High school I will-be held in that building. j Section Director Hyatt of the local l- weather bureau has been investigat- ing that Garfield beach lake gauge, I and is convinced that the readings tak- J en therefrom have been wrong; and i that the real reading of the lake level I should be 1 foot 4 inches below the I mark, instead of what was recently " given of over two feet. Dr. Hyatt says I the lake is rising, not shrinking, and ; there are no evidences of its drying A UP- There is no longer any danger of a scarcity of water in this city during . this summer according to the present situation. In this respect the city and its people are about twice as fortunate I as they were one year ago, when wa- i; ter was almost at a premium and a I water famine seemed imminent. The , danger of a reservoir conflagration has also been reduced more than 50 per 'l cent on account of the increased wa- j;'. ter pressure. (; At a meeting of the executive com- I'. mittee of the Salt Lake Public School I Teachers' association, held at the I board of education rooms Monday, the I following resolutions thanking Mr. So- t mon Bamberger for his work in behalf I of the city school were adopted: I I "Resolved, That the executive com- ! mittee of the Salt Lake Public School i eacners association ao nerewun ex- s',- tend the sincere thanks of that organ- ( ization to Mr. Simon Bamberger for i his effective efforts in behalf of the I schools and to all others who in any way contributed to the fund which I made it possible to keep the schools i open the full term." "Uncle Tern's Cabin," by the Press ' ' club of Salt Lake City, played a one- ! night stand at the Salt Lake Theatre last Thursday evening. Never before. ; and probably never again, will the - public see such a show. When you were not laughing at the performance you laughed at the performers. A 150-pound 150-pound Eliza and her 250-pound baby fi pursued by a fierce bloodhound weigh- I ing two pounds, and a little Eva seven I feet tall, more or less, were only sam- I " pies cf the unique features of the en- tertainment. An immense audience 1 made up of the wealth and fashion of I the city gave them unstinted applause. I It was a great financial success, as it i should have been, if there is anything '1 in advertising, of which it got about !v- a million dollars' worth in the daily l. ' papers. |
