APRIL CHANGING.

Does it occur to the traditional odd
est inhabitant" that the month of
April is changing somewhat in Utah?
That it is becoming more like many
Utah people know it to have been in
the eastern or middle states from
whence they came to Utah? More
capricious, more of a lightning change
artist. than of old? When have we
ever had such a variety of weather be-
fore crowded into April as this year?
Picking UP an eastern exchange that
comes from Philadelphia we found
description of April that could well be
taken for one written of April in Utah,
this year of grace. Here it is:
April. it has been observed, seems to
have borrowed something from nearly
every month in the year-a few windy
days from March, spells of rain from
equinoctial and melancholy fall, oc-
casionally niDping and an eager air
or wintry Suggestiveness, and often a
week or so from midsummer. All the
elements seem so mixed up in this fas-
cinating but unreliable month that
people are tempted on one day to rise
up and called her blessed and on the
H~AL " null lIS phrases IN
their vocabulary at her as a deceitful
and dangerous coquette. From grave
to gay, from lively to severe, she is all
things by turn, and often manages in
her thirty days of existence to give us
so many different touches of nature
as to prove her kin to the whole
twelve months.
And yet April is a good month. She
may be tickle, now grave as winter.
now joyous as summer; now smiling
sunshine, now weeping showers, now
doing both at once-and there, span
ming the landscape, the splendid bow of
promise! The promise that summer
will come; that flowers will bloom
that there shall be a harvest as well
as seed time. Blessed month. Month
of rainbows, as June is the month of
rosesl Month of hope-the month that
first heard the glad cry-"Christ is
risenT There is something beautiful
in associating that event with the
awakening of life in April. Coinci-
dence? Blessed coincidence. Merely
local? Limited to our latitude?
Blessed fortune to live in such a lati-
tude, where these two things are
linked together.
And SO through drenching rains, nip
ping winds. through threatening frosts,

GAS IN OMAHA AND SALT LAKE CITY

The people of Salt Lake City have
had more or less experience with the
extortions of the gas company in the
past week or so. 1t is given out one
day that the supply of natural gas is
giving out and the next day it is stated
that there is more than there ever
was. Then they have been told that
they must pay for q minimum amount
of gas no matter haw much they use,
and this, forsooth, because the dear,
benevolent, public-loving gas COM
pany cannot afford to keep the &C
counts. Fortunately for the people
they live where there is an abundance
of salt wherewlth to salt all such
statements before taking them.
After this it was announced that the
people might again be supplied with
manufactured gas alone, for which
they would have to pay $3.50 per LOCO
feet. What the company expected to
accomplish by all these announcements
is not known; the future may develop
what the intention was
In contrast with the course of our
local gas company is that of the
Omaha gas manufacturing company.
That company has decided to reduce
the price of gas to all consumers %
per cent. The reduction is now in eff
feet and the bills which become pay
able May 1, will be computed on the
basis Of the reduction. The present old
rate is $40 per 1000 feet, with 10 cents
off for cash. The new price is $1.45,
with the same discount, which makes
the net price to the consumer $1.35
per 1000 feet.
This reduction is purely voluntary
on the part of the company. 1t has
not sought to even charge what it is,
allowed to. The present Omaha.
ordinance governing the price of gas
provides that the company may charge
$1.6O per 1000 feet until the consump-
ton of gas exceeds 100000 900 feet an
nually. Although the present con-
sumption falls short of this limit by
nearly 100000 feet, the company has
decided to make a radical cut at this
time, making the cost of all gas the
limit indicated by the ordinance for
fuel gas, which is $1.35.
Omaha's facilities for manufacturing
gas are no better than this citys; it's
coal supply is not nearly so good as
ours. Cannot our local gas company
learn something from the example of
the Omaha company? It doesn't pay
monopolies to be eternally bleeding
the people and making of them enc
mics instead of friends. How fortunate
the people of this city are that the
same crowd did not get possession Of
the waterworks
