: 8 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY B word for it, and accepted this interview as the B best possible evidence obtainable in the case, in: H asmuch as he subsequently offered it in substanti al ation of his recommendation that a license be B granted to tho woman. B And perhaps so it was with tho others. The Vj wonder grows, in view of such police policy, that aily law breakers at all are apprehended and 1' brought to justice. For it would seem sufficient B that the apprehended party need but deny his B guilt, and the good-hearted chief, who persists H in being judge, jury and tho whole court would K immediately take him at his word and allow him V to go scot free. Hi Hi PUT MONOLITHS ON THE CAPITOL H, When through the decision of the capitol com- H; mission the design of Architect Kletting was nc- H) cepted for the state capitol and it was undecided H' whether tho columns would bo monoliths or Hi piece work, June Wells had turned a number of H minaturo monoliths out of Vermont marble con- H structing a representation of a corner section of H, the capitol. A discussion then came up as to Hi whether the stone used in this construction should H bo Utah material or something from outside of H' the state. Then somebody raised the foolish hue H and cry that the Mormon church was interested H in getting Vermont marble here. At the same H time it was suggested that the base of each H column should contain the name of some distin- H guished man in tho history of the state. Such H men as Anthon H. Lund and John Dern of H the commission were in favor of this, and as an H example of what others able to think thought of H the matter, Mr. Bancroft of the Short Line stated H that if monoliths from Vermont were brought H! here that his road would transport them from Hi Omaha to Salt Lake free of charge, a saving to H the state of over twenty thousand dollars. H A week or two ago tho first charge in tho H quarries in Little Cottonwood was blown off and H light as it was, it was found that the stone dls- H lodged was equivalent to twice the amount that H would be needed provided there were no checks H1 in the material for tho capitol. The whole point H of the matter is this, that the capitol should be H' finished with monoliths but there has been no H unity of action in the attempt to secure them, no H concentration, and as a result it is yet undecided H whether they will be used or not. H Mr. Wells sent a piece of the local maroie to H I Vermont to bo polished, with the result that when the stone was returned it was found to have de veloped beautifully. According to the newspaper reports one piece of the granite dislodged in Little Cottonwood will make fifty-two columns, all that are needed in the capitol. There is a railroad to bring it here; there is a crane at the terminus that will lift a hundred tons and each column weighs only forty tons, and the beauty of it is that with monoliths on our new capitol it will be out of tho commonplace and they will give our building a distinction such as no other has. In thirty capitol buildings the only claim of one over the other is that of costing more money, where as if these monoliths were used here, ours would bo tho finest granite colonnade of polished monoliths in the world. Few people realize what that would mean. In Vienna there is a building with twelve of these columns which is one of the city's wonders The People's Gls building in Chicago has fifteen of these columns twenty-five feet in height of pink granite and they are one of tlie great sights of the city. 'By comparison, it is -easy to imagine what it would mean for the entire front of our capitol to have these monoliths, and all it will take to make it possible is unity of action on the part of a commission which is seemingly more or less lethargic in the matter. As long as the state is spending what it is, it might just as well spend a few more dollars if necessary to make this the greatest and best capitol building in any Every year about the first of February large excursions are run by the different railroads from here to different points in California. We be lieve the question is pertinent in asking why such excursions are not run from California here during the dull season on the coast. Every year we pour thousands of dollars into the coffers of San Francisco and Los Angeles at this time of the year and receive nothing In return in the way of direct reciprocity. Why not run an ex cursion, or two, or three, from Los Angeles to Salt Lake during tho parched season there, and why would it not be advisable to run such ex cursions from San Francisco during the summer months when the wind is blowing the fillings out of the teeth on one side of Market street and tho people on the other side are filling up with ice cream soda? Betwixt San Francisco, Los Angeles and Salt Lake it is a comparatively easy matter to follow the weather and it is up to the railroads to start something of the kind.
