COMMISSIONERS RECOMMEND
TAR MACADAM PAVEMENT.
On Thursday, the commissioners of
Improvement District No. 5, filed a
report with the mayor and council,
stating that after a thorough investi
gation, they have adopted a tar-mac
adam pavement for the improving of
Front Street, believing it will best
serve the interests of the parties con
cerned.
The report stated chat Capt. J. H.
Haney, a competent engineer, had
been employed to draw the necessary
plans and specifications for the pro
posed paving, which were attached to
the report.
The commissioners recommended
the adoption of such improvement
and the ratification of their action by
the council, urging that the necessary
steps be taken to carry out the pur
poses for which said district was
created.
The plans of the engineer, call for
the paving of 6,400 square yards and
the placing of sixty street crossing
blocks. Bids will now be called for
under these specifications, which re
quire a certified check of $500 from
all bidders. A bond of $10,000 will be
required of the successful contractor.
SEEKING FUNDS FOR
DEAF-MUTE SCHOOL.
Little Rock, Aug. 13—Gov. Davis is
looking around for patriotic citizens
with plethoric purses and a willing
ness to loan the state of Arkansas
something like $150,000. The money
j is needed in order to conduct the deaf
mate institute ana tne rine jdiuii hoi
Dial school until the general assembly
of 1905 can meet and make the neces
sary requisition on the well-filled
cotters of the state. The governor
may succeed in the effort and he may
not. Willingness on the part of many
individuals to advance the money is
manifested, hut so far it is not known
that any one or less than half a dozen
persons have offered to put up the
money in a lump. The opinion is ex
pressed by some that the governor
will not find it a difficult task to nego
tiate the proposed loan.
No steps were taken yesterday to
carry the disputed validity of the two
appropriation bills into the courts and
the drift of opinion around the state
house was that there could be nothing
gained by a judicial determination, in
view of the fact that the records shove
that the bills were approved thret
days after May 20, the limit.
It was stated in the auditor’s office
that a well known citizen of the statt
announced in that department a fev
days ago his ability to get up tht
amount of money if the state decidec
to borrow for the two institutions
1 Some definite announcement is ex
pected soon from the governor’s offlet
i in reference to the success of the loat
‘ negotiations.

QUAINT, QUEER AND CURIOUS
! The late Col. John Cockerell in Tht
Cosmopolitan said, “There are thret
unique cities in America, and one oi
1 these is Salt Lake City.” It is not on
J ly unique in its temple, tabernacle anc
other Mormon church institutions
; but quaint in appearance, with itt
1 wide streets, immense blocks anc
martial rows of shade trees. It has
perhaps, more attractions to tht
square yard than any city in tht
' I country, and its climate, while tern
perate all the year round, is particu
larly delightful in summer. Tht
Great Salt Lake, with its magniflcenl
Saltair resort, where the water is
i “deader and denser” than that in tht
Dead Sea in Palestine, is an attractioi
1 in itself that people come miles to see
1 There are many cool mountain ant
l i lake resorts near by, also numeroui
tery pretty canon and park drives
and hot sulphur springs. Fishing anc
hunting can be had in every direction
The trip from Denver to Salt Lakt
City and Ogden, via the Denver & Rit
I Grande and the Rio Grande Western
is one of unsurpassed pleasure.
Here nature is found in her sternes
mood and the whole line is a succes
, siou of rugged canons, waterfalls an<
, picturesque valleys. No Europeai
trip can compare with it in grandeu
of scenery. During the entire sum
1 mer tnere will be low excursion rate

' ciflc coast, if that be your destination
