SALE OF FREIGHT.

judiciary committee with instructions
to report this morning
SALE OF FREIGHT.
Senate bill Nc. 1os, an act to author
ize the storage and sale of unclaimed
freight by common carrier.
Mr.. Chichester got funny on the start.
He amended section 1 by adding:
Provided, that if the unclaimed
freight consists of grain it may be
sent to Panguich, Garfield county. and
sold at the highest price obtainable"
Warner added, and payment there
for shall be made in scrip
Both amendments were suffocated at
birth
Mr. Allison made an amendment
striking out salt Lake city" as a
storage point and inserting ANY point
CIR station on the line
Mr.. Cannon declared that whenever
Salt Lake city was mentioned the
senator from Weber usually under
went a paroXysm of grief. This bill
provided for central point of disposal.
Grange it and the railroad company
may send the goods to any small way
stations and the agent there can buy
them in at a small figure. The sur
plus, over cost of transportation, goes
to the treasury OF the state.
Mr.. Sutherland argued in favor of
the original proposition. Under its
provisions all the freight is sold under
one advertisement while the change
would necessitate separate advertise
ment in each place.
Mr.. Allison, replying said Salt Lake
city people were the most selfish peo-
pie on earth. Not an opportunity pre-
sents itself but its delegation rises as
q owl fin. Tboi a
grandiZement. He cited the illustra-
ton of Salt Lake opposition to holding
federal court in Ogden and the desire
of the Salt Lake senators to cause all
advertising of public lands to be done
in Salt Lake papers. as another. This
bill Disseminated against Logan, Og-
den and Provo.
Mr.. Cannon declared that the rail-
road company would get its charges
at any rate, but the idea is to have d
residue left for the beneait of the state
AS to the insinuations made by Mr.. Al
lison they were wrong. He hurled
them back with emphasis.
Then Senator Mckay arose and de-
clared that the handwriting on the
wall read the Meme meme tekel up
harsin' which interpreted meant that
Salt Lake might at some time be at
tached to Ogden
Sutherlands reply to Allison was
gem. He did not desire to accuse Og-
den people of the sin of selfishness, for
Ogden people were not selfish al
though at times they might be intern
perate in speech. He did not believe
Ogden people, as whole, were envious
of the capital and metropolis. But the
question did not hinge on the per-
sonality of people. The main idea was
to get the largest price for goods.
This is the best and largest market in
the state.
Chidester denied the last assertion.
Panguitch is a better market for
wheat, and a wagon load of trout from
Panguitch could not be sold in Salt
Lake.
How long were they on the road?''
said Sutherland
Allisons amendment prevailed and
the bill passed.
