.rhe Light TINT rniIed.n

Whose been and took that T street
electric light? It was there the other
night now it is gone. 1t was the ad-
vanced courier of a procession of SINH
lar lights, which for several months
has been moving along little by little
towards popperton. We shall miss it;
every night it used to send a little
splinter Of light through rift in our
curtain, and halo the head Of the au-
thor of these remarks. As a halo ar
fist, it has retired from business; now
1t is dark, oh so dark in popperton.
but then it is dark everywhere else.
and so nobody has very much the best
Of US. What grieves us most is that
the cold, chilly. wave of economy has
swept its companions in Lighting away.
and we can no longer look down from
the commodious balconies of pODperton
place upon the bespangIed city as we
nave been wont to do in the great here
'tofore. These are hard times for the
common people. The trouble is that
they are governed too much The pub
lie business apparently seems to be
conducted on the theory, that if YOU
black the toes Of your boots you can
let the heels go. Now there is our
stately county building for instance, it
is embellished in onyx, and decora ted
with carving, the pampered favorites
Of politics within it rest their richly
comparisoned persons upon furniture
fine enough to bedeck the home of a
queen, while We poor unfortunates go
without lights and have to pay more
for water by a hundred per cent than
we ever did before. More than we
would have to pay il one of the soul
less corpora tons that are supposed to
be lurking around to pounce upon the
water system were to get hold of it.
After a while, if this business keeps
on, water will be one Of the things that
none but the wealthy can enjoy. Still
we are not wholly without hope; pop
perton, with all its alluring features
of view and topography still beckons
the home longing soul to its embrace
There is just as much light up there as
anywhere else, and the lots are cheap,
awful cheap. We shall greet the spring
with seven fine modern homes, and
there are many more as fine and mod
ern in contemplation.

Mrs. Dale has the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends in her hour of
bereavement.

Wires of the Citizens Electric Light

Another effort will be made this week
by the officers Of the Citizens Electric

valuable franchise, granted by the
present administration, to secure favor

sufficient capacity to light the streets
Of the city and furnish commercial light
ing TO the business houses. At present
the old electric light company occupies
ali Of the space allowed by the ordinance
for electric light wires and the tele-
phone company has its wires strung TO
the highest limit. This prevents the
Citizens company from getting on to
the principal business streets, and it is
proposed to give the company the eight

RATE WAR NOT ANTICIPATED.
So Say the Heavy Local INSURANCE
Agents

So Say the Heavy Local Insurance
Agents
The local insurance men are Of the
opinion that the rate war which is now
raging on the coast and in several
other districts of the jurisdiction Of the
Pacific Insurance union. will not in any
way affect the situation here in Sat
Lake city, Notwithstanding the fact
that the cutting and rebating is even
now being carried on in Ogden. AL OF
the Salt Lake heavy weights have held
consultations and after thoroughly can
Vass,ng the situation given their
pledges that they would not take part
in any rate war unless absolutely
forced to do SO to protect their business
which none Of them seem TO anticipate
will Zoe the case, or at least they say
they do not believe any such necessity
viii ever arise. Insurance companies
are not so fond of doing business fol-
nothing that they will be likely to re.
fuse to listen TO the counsels OF Their
agents here and refrain from any
undertaking for business. Of course
there may be several Of the smaller
agencies who will fail to live up to tins
agreements, but the greater majority
or the local insurance people will be
found on the side Of conservatism and
it seems hardly probable that there viii.
be any rate cutting here on any eX-
tensive scale. Of course, should The
worst come to the worst all of the
agents are prepared to take care OF
their business and have the full
authority from their companies to meet
any legitimate cuts made by competi-
tors. Those dispatches received by the
greater majority Of the agents on Fri.
day afternoon demand that the bushes:
of the companies be protected from the
onslaughts CT any of the institutions
which do not feel bound by union rules
As result of the announcement OF
the unsuccessful termina ton Of th-
negotiations which have been on fol
some time past in San Francisco look
ing to the reorganization of the Pacifi-
Insurance union on a more sold basis
the principal local insurance agents
yesterday morning got together and as
a result of the consultation there will
be no rate cutting here unless there
are some more very violent changes.

With the return Of open weather, the
construction on the natural gas system

line from the wells is TO enter the city
on Fourth West and follow south on
that street TO South Temple, where a
turn to the east will Zoe made and the
mains laid to Main street This will

for the passage of the flow of gas from

New York on Monday morning on
special business connected with the
company. He expects to Zoe absent. in

Mr. McCune declines to make public
the nature of the business which viii
claim his attention while on his visit
to the metropolis.
Within the next few days the Salt
Lake City Railroad company will make
the change in transfers mentioned
some time ago by The Herald as being
in serious contemplation. This change
will bring into use exclusively The
Identification Slip upon which a descrip-
ton Of the passenger will be punched
by the conductor making the issue. On
each of the transfers are six cuts Of
persons, four male and two female, and
the one nearest resembling tine passen-
ger to whom the slip is issued will be
punched by the conductor. It is a novel
departure and will most effectually
check any existing dishonest work
The company has just received ESQ, OOC
Of the new transfers, estimated to he a
three months supply, and it is antici-
Pated that the Initial issue will be made
within the present week.

CLEARINGS SHOW A DECREASE
Great Business OF Last Year Having
Its Eject.

Although the volume Of business still
continues very satisfactory, the clear
ings of Salt Lakes associated banks
are not holding their own with those
of the same period last year. There is
a very good reason for this, however,
and that is the splendid activity of
January, 1894, was greatly out of the
average run and the returning tide of
prosperity was just setting in with
great force. Now things have settled
very materially and while the cIearings
do not mal7s such showing, business
is very gratifying in its increase.
For the week just closed the clear
ings were S1,007.044, as compared with
Sl,276,7SO for the same week last year.
The days clearings were $155, 726, as
compared with $212,71S for the same
day in 1894.
