The Republicans Trying to Push the
Fight to a Finish.


Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 9.-The action of
the republicans in both houses of the
general assembly to-day in introducing
resolutions providing for the reading and
publishing of the returns of the guberna-
torial election on Friday is regarded as a
challenge, and for the first time the vexed
question is brought squarely before the
body. Much speculation is INDUCED in
tonight as TO what disposition will be
made of the resolutions when they come
up tomorrow. The opinion prevails that
the democrats will seek postponement Of
the consideration, and, If necessary to
obtain this end, viii resort to filibustering
methods. 1t is said that they do not as
yet dare to show their hands, and this
belief is further strengthened by the in
PRODUCTION to-day of two democratic bills,
each providing for the settlement Of gu
bernatorial contests. The state at pres
ent is without laws governing such con-
tests, and it is the intention of the dem
ocrats, it is claimed, to rush these meas
ures through before the expiration of
Gov. Turney's term, which expires Jan.
Is. The bills place the settlement of such
contests entirely in the hands Of the gen.
eral assembly, and empowers them to
correct Irregularities and fraud in any
county regardless Of the sherih's GER
tihcate.

not take any official action On the
question. This was the decision of the
board of presidents a a meeting held
in this city yesterday afternoon.
Should the appropriation made by the
city council at recent meeting be
approved by the mayor or be subse-
quently put through by the council for
the second time, then the companies
will undoubtedly act with favor upon
the proposition submitted.
The reports submitted to the board
of presidents yesterday showed that
the water is now lower in the lake
and consequently in the canals than
was the case last year at this time.
Several days ago the high water mark
of the lake was a foot below cOmpro-
mise point, which means that there has
been a great falling off in the volume
of water held back by the natural
reservoir Fortunately, many of the
crops have matured during the season
of comparatively good supply and only
the corn and lucern, in addition to the
garden truck and fruit, need any more
water this season.

Another era of iIl-feelinS Dis taking
place in relation to the gravity sewer,
and in all probability, the board of
public works will be called upon to
take a hand in the matter within the
next few days.
1t appears that a few days ago the
city engineer made a tour of the sewer
and sounded" it for nearly its entire
length for defects in plastering the in
side of the conduit. As a result there
has been seven miles of the work con-
demned, in spots, and the contractors
are in a mess.
HObson. the chief contractor, said
last evening he had tried to make a.
good job of it. and even went to the.
trouble of placing men in the conduit
/ to remedy the defects which are al
legged to have been discovered by the
engineer, but he could not do it as
was asked.

New Investment comnanr.

The Tontine Investment association
is just getting located in it's new Of
fees in the Atlas block and is settling
down to business.
This association was recently incor-
porated and is made up entirely OF
Utah people.
The association has inaugurated an
entirely new departure from savings
and investment plans as they are
known to the people today and it's
plan comprises distinctive and very
attractive features that will doubtless
make it prominent among financial
organizations. Although it's principal
office will be in this city its operations
will not be restricted TO this locality
but will extend throughout the entire
country.
Great benefit is possible to this city
from the location of such an institu-
ton in it for much money will neces-
sarily be brought into the city by it.

According to the records of the
county treasurer the registered debt
of the county of Salt Lake has now
passed the 100000 mark by something
like $4,000, Notwithstanding the re-
tirement of over $4,000 in warrants
since the commencement Of the year
The roster of warrants presented for
payment and turned down on account
of lack of funds shows d total of over
1920 and payment is being made up
to but No. $40. Early in the new bust
ness week Treasurer Lynn will make
another call, however, and while the
exact number of warrants which can
be retired is not yet known definitely,
it is thought that there will be eighty,
which would make the presentation
limit No. 7.720. The calling in of that
number of warrants would mean the
distribution of something over $4,000.
1t will be several years yet before the
floating debt of the county is wiped
off, unless the people should permit
of the sale and issue of bonds, which
is not at all likely while the present
county court is in power.
Since the first of the year the eX-
penditures of the county have aggre-
gated something over S60,00G while the
retirements of warrants foot up but
$4,000. Treasurer Lynn yesterday
turned over to the county clerk $40 900
in cancelled county paper. that being
the second heavy transfer he has made
this year. All warrants presented are
registered by the treasurer but with
stamps which remove the liability
of that official in the event of a con-
test

IMPROVING THE SERVICE.
All of the Telephone Instruments in
This City to Re Long Distance.


In order that the danger of interfer-
ence from cOntending electric light
currents may be reduced to a mini
mum and the service improved thereby,
the telephone company has reached
the conclusion that long distance in
struments shall be placed with every
subscriber and the old machines rele-
gated to the back ground. These i'm
proved instruments are becoming very
popular with the patrons of the COM
pany and since the change to the new
building 147 of these machines have
been placed in this city. Inasmuch as
the new system of electric lighting now
going in will be of the high voltage
alternating service it is known that its
operation will materially interfere with
the telephone service unless the sub
stitution of the new for the old in
Struments is effected. The company
is very DESTROYS of maintaining its
splendid record and this is the reason
that the long distance instrument pro-
ject is being pushed for all it is worth.
All of these machines have double cir
cults.
The telephone company now has it's
eye on some entirely new territory in
the north and Superintendent Murray
contemplates a visit to that section of
the country in the near future.

WILL DRAIN THE LAKES.
County and Property Holders Have
Great Improvement in Hand.

Within the next few days the Of
fetal report of County Surveyor
Josephs on the feasibility of draining
the lakes southwest of the city in order
that a number of needed improvements
may be made, will be presented to the
county court for approval. For some
time the surveyor and a corps of field
men have been hard at work running
the necessary lines and the former is
now engaged in completing drawings
and measurements from his field notes
The report is well in hand and it
should not require many more days to
complete.
This drainage proposition is one of
considerable magnitude and contem-
plates a number of great changes over
the river For years the lakes which
it is proposed to drain have been a
menace to the farms in the vicinity and
a source of constant expense through
continual overflowings. One of the
overfioWS always covers the Twelfth
South roadway to the west and the
cost of maintaining this thoroughfa~e
is not inconsiderable. Then again, the
draining of these bodies of water would
be the means of retaining in the
neighborhood of 1000 acres of good
farming land. Some of this land is
owned by the county and some by
other freeholders. The drainage would
be sent directly into the Jordan. There
is little doubt but that the county will
take up the work. 1t will not be very

WESTERN CATTLE SELLING HIGH
Only IL Few Utah Growers Take Adj
vantage of the Good Markets


vantage of the Good Markets
Western cattle are now selling bet
ter on the principal livestock markets
than for some time past and prime
stuff is ranging around the top notch
prices of some months ago On ac-
count of the heavy shipments which
have been made from this territory
since the opening of the season there
are comparatively few growers or
handlers here who can take advant-
age of the openings offered, however.
and the outsiders who came to Utah
and made the extensive purchases
will reap the benefits. Local cattle
men have received splendid prices for
their stock this year, however COM
pared with those of the past two and
for this reason they are doing no com
planning at the turn affairs have
taken. This territory is not a sum-
mer feeding district and the ranges
are as a general rule too much re-
moved from railroad communication
to enable the growers to make direct
shipments of grass stuff onto she
markets. One of the heaviest punches
of steers in marketable shape held by
Utah people is that now on the
ranches of the Blackfoot Cattle COM
pany and owned by Messrs Farms
worth and Murdoch. Mr.. Campbell is
also holding his string for a short
time preparatory to moving onto the
markets, but he is feeding and pastur-
ing in the neighborhood of Denver.
AS was stated the ether day would
be the case, some good sized move
mentS of range stock and feeders are
now being made from this territory
the points of shipments being along
the line of the Rio Grande Western
and on the southern branch of the
Union Pacific B. f. Saunders re-
turned to the city yesterday morning
after having delivered 1000 head of
steers at Salina to the Thurlow Cat
tie company for shipment into Colo
RADIO and Kansas. This shipment was
made on Friday afternoon and yester-
day before noon. The representative
of Pierre Weibaugh, the French
nobleman who is making such a sue
cess of cattle rann.Iing in the state of
Montana, yesterday received twelve
carloads of stock cattle from Mr..
Saunders at Pleasant Valley juno
ton. This stock is going to the
ranges of the Frenchman. Mr..
Saunders has still about 5000 head of
steers and stock cattle to deliver
within the next ten DAYS and then his
season of activity will be practically
ended. Most of this stock is coming
from the southern part of the terri
tory and shipment is to be made from
Milford and Juab.
Gathering TO BE Resumed.
On Monday the gathering of the
cattle comprising the brand of the
Canaan Cooperative Stock company
will be resumed on the ranches of the
company and it is anticipated that
