KILPArRIcK's DENIAL.
Says Story From Cody City Is Not
True

New Castle, Wyo.. Dec. 5.-W. H. XII
patrick of the railroad contracting firm
of fitzpatrick Brothers & Collins of
Beatrice. Neb., in an interview here
deraed the story sent out from. Cody
City to the effect that the Burlington
road had awarded a contract to Kill
patrick Brothers & Collins to construct
the grade for a road from Iarlooca.
Mont, across the Big Horn basin to Cody
City.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick admitted. however. that
the Burlington had been talking about
such a line and that the surveys had
been made. but in his opinion the line
would not be built for at least a year.
1t is believed here. however that the
first report is correct and that the road
wifi be built into the basin. The Bur-
lington is desirious of reaching that Sec
ton ahead of the Northern Pacific as
the latter road has already surveyed a
line, and it is highly probable that work
will be commenced on the Burlingtons
road early next spring.
The Burlington is now figuring on
building a wool warehouse at this point
Several meetings have been held with
prominent business men and the pre-
ljminary matters are now being arranged

FAVOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Why Springville Refused to Grant
Electric Light Petition.
Especial Correspondence


Springville. Dec. Sat the meeting of
the city council last night the electric
lighting franchise asked for by Messrs.
Bacon and Woodhouse. representing the
electric lighting company Of Provo. was
defeated. The vote of the councilmen
was unanimous in favor of a resolution
to the effect that the franchise be not
granted.
This action is due principally to the
very pronounced sentiment here in favor
of municipal ownership of public utili-
ties. 1t is also due in some measure to
the attitude of the. electric company
which was not disposed to do anything in
return for the franchise. and with the
greatest reluctance could be induced to
state the rate schedule. The action of
the council is generally approved by the
citizens.
No new cases of scarlet fever are re-
ported here, but one death has occurred
that of an infant child of Mr.. and Mrs
Wallace Bird. The quarantine is still
rigidly maintained, and the disease is
closely watched.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 6.-President Burt.
Engineer Gerry and General Manager
Dickinson of the Union Pacific road
have gone east to attend a. meeting of
the directors of the company in New

improvements in the road. The most
important of these will be the tunnel
ing of Sherman hill in Wyoming.
This is the steepest grade on the road
ard has been source of constant ex-
pense and danger as well as a cause
of great delay to traffic. All efforts to
find a way to avoid the hill have proven
futile and the engineers say the only
way is to put up with present condi-
tions or tunnel through the hill. While
the tunnel would be the longest on the
continent, it is not thought to present
any great engineering problems.
