Directory of the Salt Lake and og-

tied.

! As was exclusively announced by The

OF the Salt Lake and Ogden Gas and
/ Electric Light company has been re-
organized and 1T is now thoroughly
American. Of directors there are now
five and all Of these are representa-
tive citizens of this city and among the
leading commercial and financial men
of the territory. This change will be
pleasing to the people Of Salt Lake and
Ogden. for now they will be assured Of
the very best of treatment not that
the old board ever failed in this respect.

mains laid to the Lake Shore wells.
The new board of the company is
made up as follows: ". s. Mccormick,
president of Mccormick & Co; L. S.
Hills. president of the Deseret National
hank; Hon. Farley l.. Williams. Hon.
George NJ. Scott and Superintendent
Thomas G. Weber of lions CO-0pera
tive Mercantile Institution. 1t is said
that all of these gentlemen have be-
come more or less heavily interested in
the stock of the company and they will
have the complete and exclusive man
agement of its affairs. There is
strong probability OF more changes be
ms made in the make up of the COM
pany, although those on the inside

public last night. The board has been
holding meetings daily for the past
three afternoons and last night the
final session for the present took place,

organization of the new board.

control OF the road and that by this
means would satisfy a long cherished
WlSn to own transconunenI al line, re-
plies:
I'VE saw that story printed while in
the west, but there is not the slightest
truth in it. The report may have grown
out of the fact that Mir Hughitt and
myself were appointed members of the
reorganization committee, but that is the
only framework en- which TO Dutld The
story We are not trying to attend to
any scheme OF that kind
1t is said that among the provisions Of
the Union Pacific organization plan arr.
these:
an assessment of SO on stock for which
preferred stock may be given.
An issue OF $50, 900 per cent. bonds
for the first and the government debt.

Republicans Arc Specializing rs to
What Will Come of 1t.

The chief subject of speculation
among the Republicans in this city is
the independent campaign being run
ny Trumbo. Crane and Bill Glasmann,
ana they are wondering what is to
come of it. They do not know what
course the regular machine will take
under the circumstances. 1t is put In
ar unenyiable position. The national
committee has sent out one Of its paid
speakers to take part in a campaign
with man who is acting against the
wishes Of the regular organization in
this territory. which. however. is work
ing in the interests Of one CLIQUE. Such
thing has not before been heard Of
In our politics. The idea Of national
committee going against state ma
chine in favor Of any particular cam
di5ate for the Senate,
What will the Tribune do? It can
not afford to remain silent under the
circumstances. for Trumbo is going
ahead with the idea of capturing the
Republican election for senator His
whole object is eventually to simply
control the situation. Then he per
f2ps intends to make a demand that
the Republican legislative candidates
sign up for him or sustain defeat. He
intends to use his whole money and
his whole power to bring about his
own personal ends. ana ne VIII use
the Republican party as a tool. His
whole campaign is personal, for the
purpose of bringing his party to time.
A big fight must come of all this.
Arthur Brown has as Yet taken no
action. He Is yet In the city. growing
more sour every day as he sees the
persistent booming of Frank Cannon
by the machine and the persistent
booming Of Trumbo by himself He
cannot afford to remain Inactive long
or the cup viii be dashed from his
lips and he will stand no chance Of
success. even if there should be a Re
publican legislature.
There is che thing about the Trumho
party that is very amusing. Buffalo
Bill Glasmann did not want to leave
Ogden during the campaign He was
very anxious In stay and watch de-
velopments, with the object Of rails
ing Ned unless something should be
done for him The Cannon outfit. how
ever. laid deep plot for his undoing
and he was persuaded to go out with
the party in order 10 keep the thing
IN line. It is said that George NJ.
Hanson was used as the gO-befween
and that it was this smooth young
gentleman who finally prevailed upon
Bill to so With the party.

The Democrats are making a great
fight in Summit.
The majority rolled up against the
ticket last fail viii not be duplicated
This time The Democrats are making
a determined assault upon the Repub-
lican stronghold, and so far have car
ried everything before them. Republic
can meetings, with the exception OF
that of the three stumpers, have been
very small, and the meeting of the Re-
publican trio has been utterly eclipsed
by the Democratic opening meeting
and the meeting Of Roberts, Game and

Snyder have been wandering around
in Summit lately endeavcring to get
some enthusiasm on which to base a
hope of pulling themselves through in
the race for the district judgeship. At
first 4hey tried meetings, but nobody
would come to hear them, and they
were finally pressed to the expedient
of making a house to house canvass.

very little encouragement.

the very strong language in the cir
cular. When asked to tell why they
say this. they answer, "Well, / have
my private reasons" If we might
guess what their private reasons are
1t would appear that their denuncia-
ton has some connection with the
visit Of Frank Cannon, who has been
saying some pretty mean things. These
Republicans try to make out that the
circular is to try to catch Democratic
votes; but / told them, Never fear,
the Democrats are proof against any

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
CLAIMS AGAINST GRAVITY SEWER
CONTRACTORS TAKEN Up.
The Investigation Abandoned, How
ever. Until Legal Advice is Oh
tained-Bid For the Sewage Re-
iectcd-Routine Matters Disposed
OF.

At the special meeting OF the board
of public works yesterday afternoon
the claims against the gravity sewer
contractors were taken up and gone
over as far as the board had power
within itself. but legal technical;ties
came I'D so thick and fast that they
abandoned the investigation in the
absence of legal advice, and adjourned
that portion of the proceedings until
next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. at
which time they hope to have Attorneys
Williams. Royle, Hoge and Van Colt to
help untangle the scheme as to whether
the original sewer contractors are re-
sponsible for bills contracted by the
sub-cOntra ctors. Several of the large
claims were referred to the original
contractors for their final acceptance
or rejection.
The board next considered a batch of
inconsequental petitions, claims and
sidewalk repair complaints. They also
rejected the only bid for caring for the
city sewage at the mouth of the gravity
sewer and returned the $1,000 check
sent In by the bidder c. NJ Owens, a
civil engineer. The matter was re-
ported back to The city council as to
the condition existing on that par
ticular matter.
The matter Of gate-house TO De
erected at the mouth Of the gravity
sewer. 20 be erected at cost not to
exceed $3.50 was informally recommend
ed to be reported by the city engineer
to the city council.
Several walks We're ordered repaired
BY the city engineer and then the
board adjourned.

convention centers on the revision of

many things in the bylaws and rules

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-Traffic Man
ager ". 3. Curtis, of the Traffic associa
ton, has undertaken TO secure from the
roads doing business in Utah a conces-
sion which all the influence of the South
ern Pacific company has failed to obtain.
Mr.. Curtis has in preparation a tariff
of reduced rates on shipments of mer-
chandise from San Francisco to Utah
common points, such as will enable the
merchants of San Francisco 10 compete
with eastern shippers for Utah business
Briefly stated. the eastern connections
OF the Southern Pacific in southern Utah
VIII have to agree TO the proposed tariff
or they will suffer the inconvenience Of
boycott by the merchants of San Fran
cisco TratIic Manager Curtis has map
ped out the campaign with care and with
confidence of success. Curtis says he in
tends to submit his tariff to the eastern
lines at the Salt Lake conference on the
18th inst. The meeting has been called
for the purpose of patching up the differ
the Utah business.
Il think the merchants of San Francis
co are in position to compel the Utah
lines TO make this concession" he said.
If the roads insist on shutting San
Francisco out of the Utah market, the
merchants here have their recourse They
can refuse TO do business over any of
those lines, and when it is considered
that the San Francisco merchants con-
tribute large proportion of the reve-
nue. of the lines interested on both east
and west bound freight shipments, it
goes without saying that the arguments
we have to offer Will have considerable
weight"
The lines which will be affected by
the boycott, unless they adopt the traffic
associations tariff, or promise one just
as advantageous to San Francisco, are
the Union Pacific, Rio Grande Western,
Denver d Rio Grande, Colorado Midland
the Rock Island and the burlington.
