J. Qorham, president of the T'lah fed
eration, whs Introduced as the chairman
Of the assembly Adjutant General Wedg
WOOd resd an address of Welcome from
the state written by Governor Spr .
Mayor Samuel C. Park welcomed the i

Of some of the advantages of Salt Lake
and 1'iah. He commended the women of
Utah for the part they had taken in In
fluenclng good legislation for the state
Airs. -Moore, federation president, was
next introduced bv Mrs. Qorham.
Looked Forward to Visit.
Mrs Moore said that the members of
the federation nnd especially of her "of
ficial family," had been looking forward
for weeks to their visit to Stilt Lake
CSty and to the gracious reception which
they were sure of from such gracious hos
tesses as they knew the Utah women
tO be.
"The L'tnh federation invited us to hold
our thirteenth biennial here, but San
Francisco won because a previous Invita
tion had been extended frum that city,"
said Mrs. Moore ' While the hoard of di
rectors was still In session at Colfax,
when t he plaoe of meeting was fixed, a
message came from the 1'tah federation j
congratulating' San Francisco. Such a
message from the city which bad lost
to the city which had gained the oonven- I
tion showed a spirit of hospltaJity and

Two-Minute Talks.
Mr6. George O. Welch of Ferg-uf Falls,
Minn., first spoke. She said that Minne
sota as an agricultural state had much
the same problems to face as Utah. In
Minnesota, she sa.ld, the chib -women were
giving t'nelr attention principally to im
provement of rural schools and social con
ditions. The fcehoolhouses were uaed as
social centers and visiting courses In do
mestic science, a traveling library and a
traveling university were used to ad
vantage Mrs. lohn ThreadgUl of Oklahoma City,
treasurer, was the next speaker. The key
note of Mrs. ThreadglU's talk was thai
anything that waa done In earnestness of
purpose was obllge-d to leave an Impres
sion, and she advocated the principle of
the adage that "anything worth doing is
worth doing well " If all of the details
of work are as near perfect as the worker
can make them the whole Is sur to be
harmonious. Is the principle on which the
one who holds the purse of the national
federation models her life and work.
Greetings From New England.
Mrs. A. R. Bahev of Newton. Mass., one
of the directors, brought greetings from

ever?' day the tie that hinds club women
together in the fact that she from the

far west. "The art of gllng pleasure is
one of the Oral things the club woman
learns and the pleasure yon women of
Utah ar KivlrtK us today shows that you
have learned the lesson well. ' wa Mrs
Bailes's grarlouH acknowledgment of the
h08pita.llty of the Salt Iake women.
Mrs. J C. Mathews of New Orleans,
another director, said. "Tn eluh work
you get more than you give, as is belfg
demonstrated In what we are ettlrug to
day Tn my club work I have had many
delightful experiences, htfl of the beads fl
iriT rosary' of experience this one of to

most beautiful of all '
Mrs Hairy L. Keefe of Wathlll, Neb.,

was that they must 'leal more with
i auses I ban eft ects

MAGNIFICENT DRIVE
NOW BEING PLANNED
An liightecn-Mile Boulevard,
Skirting the City, Looks
Like a Certainly.
GEO. D. KEYSER'S IDEA
Sale of Property at Entrance to
City Creek Canyon Will
Provide Funds.
Pians hao virtually boon completed
by Qeorge i. Kcyser, commissioner of
parks ami publii property, for the con
struetioif of an eip;hteen-mile boulevard
for both horse-drawn vehicles '""1 au
tomobiles, which will include a portion
of City Creek canyon, a circuit, about
the foothills to the northeast of the
city, I'ort Douglas, the southeast bench
and hence bj ;i route over Twelfth
South and Fifth Bast streets through
Liberty park back fco Ihe renter of the.
city.
The one thing which baa stood in ihe
waj of the construction of t he drive has
been the cost of putting It into shape
but a recent search of the records to
ascertain ;pjBt what property is owned
by the city revealed ;i piece of ground
practically al the entrance ol City
( reek canyon, which it is expected the
city commissioners will decide to -HI at
thoir meeting next Monday night.
t is believed i hat the revenue from
the Bale, for which bids will be asked,
together with the surplus still remaining
to the credit of the park department
will be sufficient to grade the Canyon
road and the streets, which are bo be
used in the system, to such an extent
I hat the boulevard will be in active
operation before the end of the sum
mer. Later it is planned to plant trees
along both sides cf the road and pos
siblv in two or three voars to give the
road one or two coats of oil in order to
make it dnstless.
Route of Boulevard.
The boulevard will begin at the en
trance to City I rook canyon and pro
reed up the canyon past the first two
tank bongos and t he local ion on which
the 1oran playground is to be construe
ted next year. About two aod a half
miles up the canyon, the boulevard will
cross trio stream and by a circuitous
route, gradually reach Eleventh avenue
and proceed eastward to Thirteenth
ICast street whore it will branch to the
north and skirt the foothills to Fort
Douglas.
From the fort Ihe road will run south
ward through the Douglas addition,
where crround has been set aaide for
dedication to the eitv for boulevard
purposes. Reaching Sutrar House a ttim
will bo made into Twelfth South street
and thence westward to Fifth Fast
street, thence south to the entrance of
Liberty park, through the park and
back to the city.
It. is planned to construct fences
along City ("reek canyon at nil points
where the road becomes narrow and to
so arrange the curves that it will be
practically impossible to have any traf
fic difficulties. LntomobilOs will be al
lowed to proceed only one way in the
canyon portion of the boulevard that
is from west to east.
View Will be Beautiful.
After rounding the turn in the can
yon the climb to Eleventh avenue grad
ually brings into view the entire south
ern valley and a? the north bench is
reached Great Salt Lake can be seen in
the distance, a faint ribbon of blue clil
t eri ii er in the sunshine Proceeding oast
ward the western section of the valley
can be more plainly seen.
At the highest point m the boulevard,
where the canyon road merges into
Eleventh avenue, it is planned to con
struct a small observatory. Below- it in
the canyon the plans rail for the recla
mation ot about ten acres which is to bo
converted to park use.
A detailed plan of the boulevard m
now beincr made by Nicholas Byhower,
superintendent of parks, under the su
pervision of Mr. Keyser, and upon rts
completion the matter will be placed
before the commissioners for action. Un
officially, all the commissioners bnve
screed provided the sale of the Canyon
road property ran be satisfactorily ' ef
fected. In all probability the plans will also
be submitted to the automobile owners
of the City and to the he;tl F-t.itc asso
ciation for suggestions ;m.i approval.
