FISHER HARRIS ON THE ISSUES ORGANIZED lABORS PROTEST
OBJECTIONS TO THE UNIVER-
SITY BUILDING AWARDS.
Claim That Money Could Have Been
Saved By Letting One Contract to
Home Bidder.

Organized labor of Salt Lake feels
that it has a grievance against the
agents of the state university because
of their recommendation that the con-
tract for the library. the physical cul-
ture and the~nornal~ buildings be all
let to w. H Rouey of Chicago.
H. Britain A. f. Graham and
Thomas Morris, representing the Utah
Federation of Labor and the Building
Trades Council, have taken the matter
up. Their point is this: In the notice
to contractors issued by the regents it
was expressly stipulated that the bids
on the buildings should be separate
and that a certified check should ac-
company each bid. In the face Of this,
say these men.athe regents have Jumped
Roney's three bids together and. rec
ommend that he be given the contract
for the three buildings, because the
aggregate of his bids We're lower than
any other But if the bids we're segre-
gated and the lowest bid taken on each
building separately, s657 could be saved
to the people of the state and home
labor given an opportunity TO do some
of the work. ~
The aggregate of Roney's bids is $116,-
S31, lower by S709 than any other; but
Roneys bid on the physical culture
building alone is $50, Asst. while that of
Grundford & Atkinson is $34,S30. The
contention of the laboring men is that
Roney should be given the contract for
the library and normal buildings, be-
cause he is really the lowest bidder, but
the contract for the third building
should go to Grundford & Atkinson on
the same ground and the state would
thereby be 1857 the gamer.
The laboring men realize that the re-
gents are bound by law to let their con-
tracts to the lowest responsible bidder,
and they ask for nothing but what is
right. They think, however, that if the
regents are going to strain a point at
ala they should strain it in favor of
home labor and not against it.
The matter comes before the regents
for final action at their meeting next
Friday

Proposes to Use the City's Jordan
River Water.
WITH OR WITHOUT LEAVE
WANTS 1T FOR HIS ELECTRIC
POWER PLANT.
Notice of His Intention Sent to the
City Recorder-Mayor Thinks Tt
Would Damage the City's Inter
ests-Some Action May Be Taken
to Prevent It.

Allen G.. Lamson proposes to make
use of the city's portion of the waters
of Utah lake to run his Jordan Mar
rows electric plant, whether the city is
willing or not. Yesterday Mr. LAM
sons company filed a notice with the
city recorder to the effect that it claims
the right to take from the Salt Lake
and Jordan canal all the water passing
through it at the Jordan Narrows, run
it through the mill and then dump it
back into the canal again.
At the conclusion of last evenings
meeting of the city council, Mayor
Clark summoned the councilmen into
his private room and there read to
them Mr. Lamson's notice.
In effect" said the mayor, this
means that the company will claim the
right to use the city's portion of the
waters Of Utah lake to run sits mill,
regardless of what the city says about
II. And although the promise is made
that all of the water will be returned
to the canal, it will iniure the city's
rights in this way. It will prevent us
from effecting an exchange of water
rights With the people of Big Cotton
wood, whose water we may need for
our city supply, for taxing the water
out, as the company Will, high UP in
the Jordan NarrowS. ii will be dumped
back at TOO low a level to irrigate the
lands Of the people in Big Cottonwood,
whose water we want"
The city ought to take some action
at once" SAID Councilman Romney,
for if we sleep upon our rights we
shall lose them. The city may eventu-
ally want to take its water out higher
up than at present, and if this step
should go uncontested We should lose
our rights entirely. The committee on
waterworks will meet at o'clock to-
morrow, and then we can take what
action is; necessary
On motion OF Robertson. the mayor
was empowered to take all necessary
steps to prevent injury to the city's
rights and to employ assistant counsel
for the city attorney. if necessary, to
prosecute suit against the company
The mayor and city attorney will
meet with the waterworks committee
at o'clock this afternoon to discuss
the question.

SUI TARA ATTACKS LION tanner
THRILLING SCENE WITNESSED
AT THE SALT PALACE.
Lioness sprang Upon Boccacio and
Fixed Her Teeth In His Shoulder
Not Seriously Hurt.

Boccaccio, the lion-tamer of Hagen
backs wild animal show at the Salt Pal
ace, had narrow escape from the claws
OF SultaDa last evening, and came out
with a badly lacerated shoulder. That
he was not more seriously hurt was due
only 10 the quick action of Manager
Mundy. The trouble all lay with the new
boy who worked the door Of Sultana 5
cage. IL was his nrst experience in the
position. and though he had been in

exact tlme to pun The door shut, at the
last moment ne became excited and for

Mundy saw the situation in a moment
and aimed 4 blow at her head with an
iron bar. The jaws opened and Boccaccio
quickly pulled himself away, staggering
back to the rear of the little cage in
front From there he was helped down
by the attendants, his coat torn ana his
shoulder bleeding. The wound was not
serious and he will probably be at his
post TO-DAY.

Orson Miles yesterday filed an appli-
cation in the Third district court for a
writ of mandate to compel the board
Of land commissioners TO allow him to
purchase 2,400 acres of land in Cache
county. In his application the plaintiff
states that he offered to deposit $500,
this being % cents per acre on the pur-
chase price, with the board, but his
proposition was refused.
Calls Board Arbitrary.
He declares that he is willing to COM
ply with all the requirements of the
law governing such cases, but that the
board is inclined to act in an arbitrary
manner with him and make other dis
position of the land. Miles says that
he is still willing to make the deposit
named, but that he cannot unless the
board is enjoined from acting against
him in the matter.
In conclusion the plaintiff demands
that the defendants appear in court on
Oct Z and show cause why the action
desired by him should not be taken
The petition was prepared by King,
Burton & King, and sworn TO by /. c.
Thoreson of Cache county, who says he
is more thoroughly conversant with the
facts than the plaintiff, as he has been
acting for him.
Secretary Groo Smiles.
Secretary Groo Of the land commits
sioners smiled when asked about the
suit THE reason why Miles WASH t
allowed to purchase the land is that
another man was ahead of him. That
is all there is TO the matter Some time
before we had an application from
Miles, Samuel McMurdie of Cache
county applied for a lease on the same
land.
THE board could not set McMurdie
aside in favor Of Miles. 1t had been
expected that the McMurdie application
would be acted on today. as he haG
complied with all the legal require
ments. but in view of the suit action
will be deferred. Attorney General
Bishop viii look after the interests of
the board, the matter having been re-
ferred to him at meeting held this
morning"

What IS
Cream Oft artdr?

When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments, the acid of
the fruit is crystaized and precipitated This
is collected refined to absolute purity, and
ground to powder. This is cream of tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. IN grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of leaven-
ing agencies and most healthful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape, or
cream of tartar, is the material from which
Royal Baking Powder is made. 1t is many
times more expensive than ingredients used in
many baking powders, but being healthful in
itself, it adds healthfulness to the food instead
of degrading it.
IN imitation baking powders poisonous alum,
Is used instead of heatffu o tartar
Such powders seriously affect the health.
