Show NOTES FROM THE PARK. "IZecord" of Items of Wh Trans-plred Trans-plred During: Last Week. The old postoffice building is to be transferred into a saloon and gymnasium, by two well-known and popular Parkites, in a week or so. It is quietly whispered about, by parties par-ties who profess to know, that Col. Wm. Ferry will surely succeed E. A Ireland, who'is the present incumbent, to the office of U. S. Marshal, of Utah. The rate of sending telephone messages from here to Ogden has been reduced from 40 to 25 cents for five minutes' conversation, con-versation, so that now it costs no more to telephone to Ogden than it does to Salt Lake. ' Dr. F. C. Blachly, who has for a long time been located with the troops at the Uintah Indian Agency, as physician and surgeon, has come to cast his lot with the people of Park City. Owing to the stormy weather last Mon day night, the attendance at J. Kandail j Brown's entertainment was not very j large. Those who did go, however, were j well satisfied with the performance as a whole. . I We learn through Mr. Geo. Jagers that j a most terrific snowslide occurred in Pro- vo Canyon, about one mile above the first bridge from Provo City, yesterday week. He says the sight was indescribable, mountains of snow being thrown up in every conceivable shape, which presented ; a grand sight. Nothing like it has been known in that locality for sixteen years. Society Hall will seat over 600 people and is the nobbiest and most complete theatre in Utah outside of Salt Lake. Too much cannot be said of the energetic efforts of Mr. James to make our main place of amusement what it is to-day. Hereafter, it will be a pleasure to go and witness a performance, and good troupes need have no fear of finding good facilities facili-ties and drawing paying houses. . |
