CITY CANNOT ADVERTISE.
Ordinance Shuts Off Revenue From
Sprinkling Carts.

The city's twenty-five new sprinklins
carts will not bear merchants adver-
tisements, it has been decided by the
council committee on street sprinkling,
Notwithstanding that revenue of $3.50
for the season would accrue to the mu-
nicipality by letring out the privilege.
There is an ordinance forbidding adj
vertising wagons. delivery outfits ex-
cepted, from running on the streets,
and when Chairman Patrick solicited
City Attorney Halls opinion, the latter
suggested that lawmakers should not
be law-breakers. The committee quick
w reached a conclusion on the line in
dictated soon after hearing the city at
tornev's terse advice.
However, the Studebaker company,
makers of the wagons, will get all the
advertising they can out of the new
carts before they go into service. By
consent of the sprinkling committee,
Manager Quigley will tomorrow. wealth

MARKET T0R DIXIE.
Utah & Pacific Gives An Outlet For
Products.
washington County News.)

washington County News)
The completion of the Utah & Pacific
railroad to Modena will bring St.
George within fifty miles of the rail
road when the new road TO Hollis
ranch, for which the recent state legis-
lature made an appropriation, is made.
This distance can be easily covered in
a days travel by light rig, and should
enable the farmers to place early veg
etabies, flowers and fruits on the Salt
Lake and other northern markets. The
profit on vegetables alone is a big item,
and should be seriously considered by
the people of this section.
During our recent trip to Salt Lake
we visited, in company with Hon.
Thomas Judd, some of the fruit and
vegetable dealers of that city. On the
9TH of April asparagus was selling for
j. cents a bunch, and the punches
were not large. The dealers of Salt
Lake would gladly welcome our Dixie
productions instead of those from Cali
fornia, but to enter the market with q
certainty of success, care would have
to be exercised in the preparation and
packing of the vegetables and fruits.
An organization should be perfected
among our farmers so that uniformity
in packing, systematic shipping and
due attention to details could be given,
as ii is utterly impossible for the small
growers 10 successfully handle their
produce at suchSs distance from mar
ket. Then with a good. reliable COM
mission agent at Salt Lake it seems to
us that a success could be made of the
business, and a way opened for bring
ing a little cash into Dixie. Our
farmers could organize and depute one
of their number to go to Salt Lake and
examine into the methods in shipping
by the California people.
An increasing interest is being shown
in our rich mineral deposits, and some
properties are being worked Here
again the new railroad is destined TO
play an important part in the cevel-
opment of the county, by making the
travel by team shorter and thus lessen
ing expense.

STUDENTS MAKE A KICK
OBJECT TO OCCUPYING THEATRE
GALLERIES.
University Young People Hold An
In-ignation Meeting, But Finally
Decide to Accept the Inevitable.

Students OF the first. second and third
year normal classes of the state univer-
sity do not intend to be relegated TO
the Theatre gallery tomorrow night
without entering their protest against
the action of the fourth-year normal
and college students.
An Indignation meeting was held yes
terday afternoon in the laboratory
building at which the youthful pro-
testants at first declared that they
wouldn't occupy the elevated position,
and finally decided TO accept the inev-
liable. George S. Gibbs and Miss Be
atrice Wilkinson We're in attendance to
present the college students side of the
case.
The effect of the explanations of the
situation was Salutary, and the youth
full ire subsidized in due time.
1t is felt by some of the students that
a mistake was made in engaging the
Theatre for the oratorical and story
telling contest, which occurs on Thurs
day night, and that some larger audi
forum, which would accommodate all
the students and their friends, should
have been secured.
However, it is now too late to make
any change. So the number of admis-
sionS outside of the students of the
contesting schools and faculties will be
limited.
A meeting of the faculty of the state
university will be held today to deter
mine a matter of very great import
ance to the youthful athletes of the
school. The faculty of the B. Y. acad-
envy has arranged to give the students
of that institution a whole holiday.
So far no action has been taken by
the faculty of the home university, but
it is hoped that the entire day will be
given to the students because otherwise
the programme of basketball, baseball
and various field sports cannot be car
ried out

May 5-Win Fill Seventy Cars
Market for Dixie Products.

Joseph A. West, chief engineer and
superintendent of construction of the
Utah & Pacific, was i'll town yesterday
He stated that the work was being
rushed now with all possible speed. The
recent storm has caused some delay,
but the work will probably be finished
by the 18th. AS soon as it is finished
the new schedule will be made. Closer
Connection will be made at both ends
of the line. Now the Short Line train
arrives at Milford at $50 a. m. and a
der TO give the Utah & Pacific time to
make I'D its train. This time will be
saved on each end as soon as the con-
struction work is finished, and the
sleeper will run through to the termi-
nus, instead of to Milford, as it does
now. Mr.. West said that on account of
their good road they can meet any time
that the Short Line can make. A
twenty-four-hou service will be made
from st. George and De Lamar. 1t
can't be made in less time, because
those points are so far from the termi-
nus.
Freight will be billed from the termi-
nus to all points on a through tariff,
and no trouble is anticipated with the
snort Line as TO a UlNfSlOn OF the rate.
Freight is being billed now to the ter
minus without being handled at Mil
ford.
Mr.. West said that the business of
the road was very satisfactory. Stock
men from Nevada and the surrounding
country are driving TO Deseret Springs,
and the Utah & Pacific will bill their
cattle through to Missouri river points.
One man will be at Deseret Springs
with enough cattle to fill seventy cars
on May 5. a rate of $3.50 a ton has
been made on ores. Heretofore it has
been $3.50, and this great saving
means that it win be possible to work
many grade properties.
Mr.. West stated that the sheepmen
are shearing at Lund, but that very
little wool is being sold. The Utah &
Pacific offers facilities for storing the
wool, and all of the growers who can
do so are waiting for a rise in the
price.
A prominent railroad man said yes
terday that the Utah & Pacific would
be pushed through to California before
long and that y. w. McCune would be
general manager.

STREET RAILROAD FRANCHISE.
Opposition to the Petition Will Be
Heard Thursday Evening.

Notice was given in the city council
last evening that the committee on
streets, municipal laws and improve
ments would meet Thursday evening at
Z O'Clock, in the council chamber, to
consider the Salt Lake City Railroad
company's petition for a franchise to
construct and operate a north and
south electric car line on Thirteenth
East and Seventh East streets The
company's intention is to make close
connections with the new university
grounds and with portions of the city
lying south and east of Liberty park
However. since the council has re-
fused to lease a portion of Liberty
park as a site for the Salt Palace, it is
probable the street railroad company
will not be so anxious for a franchise
to extend its Seventh East street line
The franchise for Thirteenth East
street viii likely be granted, but Coun-
Gilman Calister will make a fight for
more than the usual concessions from
the company before the grant is made.

says that the girl is as near an in

headed. She took her sentence by the
court with the utmost Indifference, and
went away with the officers without
the least concern.
