John J. McClellan, famed the world over as the senior organist at the Mormon Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, died at his home in Salt Lake after a lingering illness of several months. Prof. McClellan, during his long connection with the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, played the world’s famous pipe organ for scores of famous persons. He played at the Saint Louis exposition in 1904, at Jamestown exposition in 1906 and at the Panama-Pacific and San Diego exposition in 1915. His pupils in the last 20 years numbered more than 900. Foremost critics praised him as the greatest organist in the world. He was only 51 years of age.

Caroline Lockhart of Cody and Dryhead, where she has operated extensive cattle ranch holdings for the past 25 years, announced the sale of her ranch and brand, the L Slash Heart, to E.W. Devoss of Brownville, Nebraska. The new owner plans to restock the ranch with Angus and Brahma cattle. He expects to move to the ranch with his family this fall. Miss Lockhart will go to Hollywood, where one of her books is under consideration for a movie.

Members of the Rose City Recycling Committee took their case for a formal, town-operated recycling program to the public Tuesday night, outlining possiblities and plans during a public forum at the Lovell Commmunity Center. 

Christy Fleming noted that the program has grown from sending 30,000 pounds of material to Powell Valley Recycling in 2008 to more than 124,000 pounds in 2013 and even more by now, adding a cardboard trailer in 2010. The trailers are currently taken three times per week now (two cardboard trips, one multi-bin), and volunteers include the Park Service, Forest Service, Town of Lovell, American Colloid, Bairco and several individuals.

The committee is suggesting a $1.50 monthly charge on utility bills to cover the cost of the program. Councilman Scott Allred pointed out that it takes three readings to pass a recycling fee ordinance, so the public would have plenty of time to weigh in on the matter.
