The Whole Scheme VIII Probably BE
Observation-Disclosures of the Pro-
posed Reduction works-Carr Held.

OGDEN. Jan. 25.--Lyman E. Prentiss,
pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal
church of Chattanooga, Tenn, chosen
president of the Utah University of the
Methodist church at a recent meeting OF
the trustees, has declined to act. The
reasons given by him for this unexpected
action are that in his opinion the Metho-
dist church does not need any more
schools in Utah, having already more
than are supported; DR.. lifts non-sup-
port of the institution; the receipt of a
letter from one of the bishops advising
him not to accept the presidency for the
reason that it would involve him in a sea
of difficulties with little hope of ultimate
relief; obligations to his passionate in Ten
nessee-
Ogden's citizens are loosing all hope Of
the completion of the building and the
founding here of a university which
would, If the plans were followed,
have but lew peers in the country.
1t did look for time as though the recent
revival Of local interest would carry the
enterprise through, but the lack of inter-
est shown by the church at large has to
all intents and purposes killed it for
keeps.
THE WATCHMAN HELD.
Frank Carr, the Waterman who took a
shot at Deputy Marshal Gill on Tuesday
afternoon, was today held to the grand
jury by Judge Cross in bonds of So 600.
THE NEW SHELTER.
The contracts between the city and the
parties who will erect smelters and reduc
ton works in Ogden were signed today
and work will be commenced on the plant
as soon as the weather breaks.
The main building, which viii cover
the tanks and three floors, Will be about
200 feet long and seventy-five feet wide.
Each one of the other floors viii be about
twenty-five feet wide and fifty feet long,
covered with a suitable building. There
will be two sets OF the larg
est rolls which are made put in
at present, and room enough with
all arrangements for two sets more, which
viii be added later on. The two first sets
of rolls will crush over one hundred tons
per day, and the capacity of the mill will
be sufficient to handle more than this
amount.
The mill viii be automatic and of the
latest design. The company will use the
Clark teaching process, which they have
secured for Utah. They will make Ogden
their general place of business in the
west, and their general Office and finan-
cial center is in Chicago, Ill. Over $780,
600 viii be expended on the plant under a
guarantee.

Yes, thought SO. Now tell me, about which
do you want the most detailed information, an

Just SO. But, you see, the Eneyclop@dia

like you. It was put together to be used by
Englishmen in England. And, you see, they
wsnE the exact opposite OF what you do, andtho
Encyclopaedia Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. It fills pages with the account Of
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, and gives s half dozen lines to
some State or city here that you want the fullest
particulars OF, but about which an Englishman
cares just nothing at all.
Right as a trivet whatever that may be-

exactly right, all the same. It's the AMERI-

matters of American interest heve been all re-
written and treated just Gs exhaustively as they
would have been IN the original work had they
been specially interesting to Englishnen.
