upon these poles for the purpose Of
carrying the wires of the electric light
company, and wherever the substitu-
tion is made the latter will remove
its present lines of poles from the
streets of the city. This will result in
a great clearing of the thoroughfares
should the new agreement be car
ried out to the letter, which the COM
panies say will be the case. 1t is
claimed that the cross arms to be
placed on the telephone poles by the
electric light people will be at the
same height as those which now cling
TO the poles of the latter cornpanv
On It's face the agreement between
the TWO great companies seems inno-
cent enough, but the members of the
Citizens Electric Light company do
not think that it savors of any good
10 their enterprise. but. on the other
hand, they boldly claim that the double
use OF the telephone poles is made
Tor the purpose of shutting them out
OF the field by making use of all the
available space. There is every indi-
cation that a nice little fight is about
TO be opened between the contending
companies. At any rate, Charles
Boettcher, one of the principal back
ers of the Citizens company, came in
from Denver yesterday afternoon and
devoted the remainder of the day to a
thorough study of the situation He
was in consultation with President
Wallace and Superintendent Murray,
of the Telephone company, during the
afternoon, regarding the attitude Of
the company toward his project. The
comfort he received was not extern
sive. In conversation with a Herald
reporter, Mr.. Boettcher stated that he
was here for the purpose of person.
ally overseeing the work being car
ried on here by his company and that
before he left he expected to see the
plant IN working shape, or at least, all
necessary adjustments made. The ma
chinery for the power house and the
supplies necessary in the construction
of the system have been shipped from
the manufacturers, said Mr.. Boettcher,
and the delivery should commence
within the next few days. It is the in
tention Of the company to rush the
completion of the plant as rapidly as
possible, and it is anticipated that
there will be no more delays Good
progress is being made with the wire
system construction and a long line
of poles is in place, over ten blocks
being covered. The only place where
brush has been openly threatened
was on State street, where the old Elec-
trio Light company and the Telephone
company have prepared to place the
cross arms on the poles of the latter
and do away with the unsightly up
rights of the Electric Light company.
BY rushing matters the Citizens peo-
pie We're enabled to get two of their
wires in place before all of the space
was closed up. Mr.. Boettcher says
the Citizens company has no desire
to engage in a fight, but in the event
of one being forced upon ut, then the
fur will fly in good shape.

The new plant of the Wasatka Min
eral Water company, out near the
Warm Springs, is now practically COM
pleted and when some little odds and
ends have received attention the water
will he turned into the tanks and OPP
erations will commence in earnest. All
of the machinery is in place and con-
nected UP ready for the turning on of
the steam. which will probably take
place on Friday. Considerable work
is being done in and around the springs
of the company and this is one OF
the causes of delay. Marble basins will
be used to protect the flow of the valu-
able springs and the placing of these
basins is now claiming the attention
of the company.
With its new works in operation 1t
is anticipated that the Wasatka COM
pany will be enabled to take care of
the mineral water trade of the inter-
mountain country. It's business has
been constantly increasing since the
commencement of the bottling business
and now that the company itself is in
position to attend to that branch of
the industry, it is anticipated that
some changes for the better will be
worked

TEE SALT LAKE HERALDJ THURSDAY. JULY 10, 1895:

vance was not clearly indica-ed in the
bulk of quotations on account OF the
greater prevalence of grassy cattle.
The lighter offerings-700 to 1000
pounds-ranged mostly between SO.
and $500. but we sold buch of ma
other bunch weighing 979 sold on the
same day at S4.SO. Medium weights
1850 to 1270-sold $4.35 to $500, two
punches weighing 1,235 and 1851 re-
spectively, bringing the latter price;
one load of 1,400 Founders sold at S5.15;
sixty-eight CALIFORNIA;, averaging 1850,
sold on Monday at $3.50. A few good
westerns were marketed, weighing
1850 to LIS at $3.50 to $4.05.
THE week closed with very few
good cattle of any kind on sale and de-
mand undated. A very encouraging
feature is that the strength of the mar
ket was derived from local demand,
our packers setting a pace that ship
perS could not profitably follow. Only
sixteen loads were forwarded and half
of them went out in first hands. This
verifieS our assertion that the apparent
weakness, under which our market has
suffered for so dong, was due to lack
of supplies and not to lack of de-
mand.
with the bulk of good corn fed
steers selling in Chicago at $3.50 to
$3.50, and all grassy stuff. both there
and at Kansas City, coming into direct
competition with hordes of Texas and
southwestern cattle, does it not ap-
pear plain to any one, that South
Omaha, where corn fed steers are very
scarce and Texans seldom come, must
surely offer the best nett returns not
alone on natives, but on western and
northwestern cattle. as we'll? Our pros
poets We're never brighter. We must
have our full share of the improve
ment in the beef trade, that is coming
as sure as labor remains so we'll en-
plOyed and commercial affairs retain
their present buoyancy, and the COM
ing corn crop, now almost assured,
with easy loans and unbounded conf
dence in the future, must renew the
old time demand for feeders From
our place, in the very heart of the
corn belt, we will be called upon to
replenish the empty cattle pens of
Nebraska, central and western Iowa,
northwestern Missouri and northern
Kansas, and all the feeders that west
and northwest have to spare will be
needed to fill the demand Keep your
gaze intently turned this way. for we
are going to have d market that will
do you good"
Preparations are being made at the
stock yards for the receipt this morn
ing of two trainloads of cattle. one of
stock and the other of steers for mar
ket. The stock cattle make up the tail
end of the Montana contract entered
into between Mr.. Saunders and Pierre
Neighbau. One delivery has already
been made by Mr. Saunders and this
will fill the contract.

make their protests against the adj
justment made by the board. On the
days that the board is in session some
hearty protests will be made by the
sheepmen against what they brand as
an outrage of the worst order. 1t is
claimed by the owners of the sheep
that this is another game entered into
by the cattle men in the hopes Of
driving the f1ocks from the state, ali
efforts having failed to secure an adj
justment of the difference and a di-
vision of the ranges. Just why the re-
ported number of sheep should be
doubled is not known, unless the
statement of the sheepmen is true
and the county of Uintah is differed
by sympathizers of the cattle men.
Preparations have been made by the
Utah sheepnen who are ranging in
Wyoming for the inevitable legal bat
tie over the lands claimed by the
Union Pacific and recently leased by
that road to the cattlemen. These
lands are situated in the western part
of the state of Wyoming and the
owners of the flocks refuse to either
lease or purchase. claiming that the
lands are unsurveyed and. therefore,
a part of the public domain. They
have secured the advice of good legal
authority and are prepared to take
their stand on the original proposition,

Wool Going at Good Prices.
The heavy Bennion clip of wool

Other sales at Price within the past

been moved and the owners received
a satisfactory figure for their clips.
Up in Montana the fight for business

BOSTON, July 1.-THE American
Woel and Cotton Reporter says: The
past week has witnessed a falling off
IN the actual business accomplished
IN the four principal markets of this
country in wool, although the general
strength and character of the market
las fully maintained. 4 suggestive in
dlcation of a permGnence in values is
embodied in the fact that continental
buyers who have hitherto held aloof
IN the hope that when English and
American buyers at the London sales
had quite filled up" they might have
the advantage of q. temporary decline.
have been active purchasers during
the past week. This may be regarded
as good indication that higher
prices have come to stay, and that
the manufacturers must accept the
situation as it is. The speculative
tendency heretofore noted in New
York, Boston and elsewhere has lost
its vigor and trade has settled down
TO a business-like basis.

STOCK MARKET IMPROVING.
Better Reports Are Now Being Re-
ceived from the East.

Reports of the condition of the
eastern stock markets received during
the past few days have been of a very
much more encouraging nature than
those sent out by the commission men
earlier iii the month and during June.
It is very evident that conditions are
improving and fat cattle are now COM
handing good prices. This state of
affairs was what induced Allen G.
Campbell to refuse an offer of 1925
for his string of Rose valley steers at
the Union Stock Yards on Monday. Mr..
Campbell held that the cattle should
bring more money than the amount Of
fered by the local dealers, and, failing
to make trade, he reshipped the
steers to Omaha. where he anticipates
a good price will be obtained for the
string. Speaking of the conditions
which now surround the Omaha mar
ket and also the other principal stock
centers. George Burke & Frazier make
the following encouraging statements:
THE better tone of the cattle mar
ket, announced in our last weeks let
ter. is still ringing bright and clear.
and the week just closed, found it
pitched on a little higher key. The
receipts were the largest since tie
middle of April, when our misleading
boom collapsed, but still, less than one
half as large as for the same week
year ago. We had a very fair assert
ment of stuff, too, SO that the packers
could handle it to good advantage, and
they took hold in quite satisfactory
manner. The steer offerings were
again comprised almost wholly of
light and medium weight stuff, and did
not show as good a top as for the
previous week; a much larger proper
ton of grassy steers were on sale, and
while prices of like kinds were gem
orally higher than a week ago, the adj

Approved the Action.

At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Utah Sugar company held
in this city yesterday morning, the ac-
ton of the president and the secretary
in giving to Hon. Frank J. Cannon the
necessary authority with which to OBJ
tain possession of the company bonds
held by the Security Company of Con-
necticut, was approved. AS was stated
on Tuesday, Mr.. Cannon has just sold
one-quarter of the bonds, or 500, 0O0 to
eastern people and there are certain
details in connection with the bonds
that require the attention of the board
The bonds turned over are those of the
first issue, but now it is necessary to
make another issue for the purpose OF
doubling up the time which the securi-
ties are to run. This matter will re-
ceive attention at once.
