Hon. Frank ]. Cannon, one Of the
members of the executive committee of
The Utah company and general man
ager of the Pioneer Electric company,
returned from New York and the gen.
eral east yesterday morning, and at
meetings of the boards of directors Of
the two companies named made his re-
ports of the progress of the financial
negotiations, whose successful combi-
nation is to carry the great enterprises
through without a hitch. The meet
| ing OF the directors of the Pioneer
Electric company was held during the
morning hours and Mr.. Cannon made
! a. full report of the work accomplished
| by him in the east during his stay Of
two months. His financial arrange
ments were approved by the board and
| the construction of the great system
which is to be put in by the company
! is to be pushed with all the speed pos
sible.
Director Patton and the engineer in
| chief. both of Ogden, were in attend
ance at the meeting and the latter
reported that the contractors on the
pipeline now have some forty men and
teams at work in Ogden canyon at a
point a short distance below the point
where the waters will be turned into
the mains, and good progress is being
made. 1t is tho intention to make
some early incr 'es in the working
forces, and the Instruction of the
system will proceed with all the haste
possible. Everything is favorable for
the successful carrying out of the plans
of the company.
During the afternoon, commencing
at 2 o'clock, the directors of The Utah
company were in session also. for the
purpose of hearing the reports Of Mr..
Cannon. which were Of a very encour-
aging nature. The outlook for the
company and its enterprises is re-
ported to be highly fattering. There
is no denying the fact that the attacks
made upon President Cannon, of The
Utah company, by lot of disgruntled
soreheads, through the medium of the
New York Times, had a very undesir-
able effect; but now that some explain
atoms are being made by the other
side, things are resuming their normal
condition. While in New York, Dele
gate Cannon had an interview with the
editor of the New York Times and,
while he made no demand for the
name or names of the writer or writers
of the attacks, he did make a. demand
for the motive and obtained a salts
factory answer That answer has
served to set Alright many things.
Mr.. Cannon has been in the east
since the latter part of February and
during that time he has been devot-
ing his energies to the carrying out of
the plans of the two great companies
with which he is associated so promi-
nently, not forgetting, however. to
look out for the interests of this terri
tory in Washington. He will probably
remain in the territory for week or
i 49, ~,
east again. Last night he accompan-
led the chief engineer and Director
Patton back to Ogden and will be in
the city again on Friday.

is THERE A CHANGE IN WE'VE
That is the Question Now Agitating
Street Railroad Circles.


For the past few days there has
been rumblings of coming changes in
the street railroad situation in this
city, and the several quiet meetings
between the boards of directors Of the
two systems has led to the question.
rs there something serious in the
wind? ?"
On Friday of last week H. R. Reed,
of Boston, one Of the heaviest stock
holders of the Salt Lake Rapid Tran
sit company, arrived in this city. and
for the next few days he and other
officials Of the Rapid Transit were OBJ
served in company with the magnates
of the Salt Lake City Railroad COM
pany, inspecting the lines of the latter
system. Then followed an equally
close examination of the Rapid Tran
sit During the first two days of this
week a number of meetings were held
between the officials of the two sys-
TENS and then Mr.. Reed quietly too;5
his departure for Boston. 1t is the
general opinion that there is some I'M
portant matter on between the two
companies, but on the subject the
chief parties in interest are maintain
ing the strictest silence. They have
nothing to say when approached on
the subject. While in the city Mr..
Reed was questioned by a Herald rep-
resentative as to the probability OF
any changes being made. The gentle
man evaded the issue, but did not deny
that there was some talk of such
things.
