OGDEN, April II. Notwithstanding
the fact that but little is being heard OF
seen Of G. e. Mayne, that gentleman is
working for Ogden with his old time
spirit, and the results will be felt within
month. He IS seen by but few-most OF
those few being parties in some OF the
enterprises he has on hand, in embryo as
it were-but hls offices in the Reed hotel
and Kay block are veritable hives of in
dustry from which pour letters and Og-
den literature in seemingly neverending
stream. The first plan to mature will be
the reincorporation of the Ogden Power
Dam company, under the name of the
Canyon Power 81 Water company. Arti-
cles of Incorporation of this company will
be filed this week. The capital stock is
placed at S250.00Q.
STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISE SOLD.
1t was stated today upon the best Of
authority that the controlling interest In
the Henderson, Brinker Street Railway
company, which was two years ago given
n very valuable franchise, has been pur-
chased and transferred to eastern capital
lists and that the road Will be built at
once. Mr. Mayne, who is said 10 have
engineered the deal, when questioned to-
day regarding the matter refused to talk
on the subject and put the reporter off
with an evasive answer, which plainly
indicated that the hen was nearly ready
to-come off with a full brood.
THE COMING CONGRESS.
Without exception, all railroads of the
Trans Mississippi country have made a
rate for the coming congress of one fare
for the round trip. Every line except the
Southern Pacific have made an open rate
so that any person may take advantage Of
1T, but the latter road will confine its sale
OF reduced tickets to delegates.
Several newspaper men are already on
the ground, and indications point to a
very large representation of Scribes. Two
or three of the New York illustrated
weeklles viii have special artists and COR
respondents on the ground.
The letter carriers OF the west are max
ing q strong effort to have the present
salary schedule revised, and a number OF
measures looking to that end have met
defeat in the National Congress. The
secretary of the Los Angeles, Cal. Union
has written the chairman of the executive
committee to introduce a resolution du-
ring the Trans Mississippi congress en-
dorsing the movement.
The mayor of Leadville has appointed
the following delegates to the congress;
John M. Wilton, George S. Phelps and
James Powell.
THE CATTLEMEN's CONVENTION.
Interest in the Cattlemen's congress,
which viii be called to order on April 20,
is not overshadowed by even that being
taken in the Trans Mississippi congress
and judging from the number of letters
and pledges the secretary receives daily,
the attendance will be extremely large.
Sheriff Henderson OF Elko county, New,
reached Ogden this morning, and Will
leave with the three Elko burglars who
were captured here, tomorrow morning.
The Alfred damage case against Salt
Lake city was settled today by the de-
PENDANT paying g. O86, instead of s., 773. 80,
the amount of the judgment. The plain
tiff was gwen the Judgment for damages
alleged TO have been sustained by him
through the city driving the artesian
wells in Horseshoe bend, on the Jordan
near Utah lake.
