The University bill in its final form,
as introduced in the house as house bill
No ia, by Mr.. Cummings, has at last
passed both houses of the legislature,
and unless it is vetoed by Governor
Wells, a contingency which is scarcely
likely, the bill will become a law. This
means much in an educational way for
Utah, as the removal of the University
to it's new site on the Fort Douglas
reservation and the erection of the fine
new buildings planned at a cost of
5000, 900, will make it the finest educa-
tional institution in the mountain
states.
The bill came up on second reading
in the senate yesterday, and, on motion
of Senator Rideout, was placed upon its
final passage. There was little debate
on the bill, for the senators were una
nimously in favor of it, and on the roll
call there was no opposition, all MEM

reading and was referred tic the COM
mittee on mines and mining, to be con-
sidered in connection with house bill
No. 81, which came down from the
house and was referred to the same
committee.
Senator Wright moved a reconsidera-
ton of senate bill No. 10. repeating the
deficiency judgment statute, which was
killed on Thursday, and as the senate
was in a kindly mood the motion met
with no opposition, and the vote was
reconsidered. Senator Wright then re-
ouested that the bill be laid on the
table until he should request further
consideration OF it.

The creamery can handle the milk

these crops to perfection on our rich

Many farmers are going to DO short OF

To the Editor OF the Enterprise:

time that am tired Of it, and this win

I have made up my mind to move to
Colorado and try dry climate. I have
sent letters to three different places that
I have heard favorably mentioned with
the view to find out where it would be
the best for me to locate. Knowing
that editors generally have fund of in

will be kind enough to reply and tell me

at Rocky Ford and how late in the fall
can he leave out turnips and cabbage
with safety.
Take the average year and the farmer
can work in bis fields eleven months in
the year. There are but few weeks in
the average winter during which tho
plow can not be run. The following rec.

Like any other crop the cantaloupe is

A GREAT STRUCTURE FOR NEWARK
The Prudential Life Insurance Conn
many to Enlarge It's Building.

F%reuuqent purchases of real estate IN
the neighborhood of Broad and Bank
streets, Newark, lately, puzzled real
estate men as to their object. The pur-
chases were made by different parties.
Yesterday the announcement was mace
by John F. Dryden, president OF the
Prudential Life Insurance Company, that
the properties had been acquired by that
Company, and that plans had beer drawn
for large buildings to tax the place OF
the present ones, the cost, roughly esu-
mated, to be about 81, SOC, 900.
The Prudential Building is at the south
west corner of Broad and Bank streets.
When it was erected the design was to
build a large extension in the rear. The
otnpany has now acquired all the
property on the south side of Bank street
as far as to within nineteen feet OF Hal
sew street, and his whole area Will pc
built upon to extend the present build
ing. On the north side of Bank street
the building will extend from No. "a to
Halsey street.
The new structure on the south side
will be eleven stories in height. Important
changes are to be made in the present
large building of the ompany which
will be Occupied in part by the Fldeilty
| Title and Trust Company. The Chancery
| Court will be removed to the new pulld-
| ing. A tunnel will be constructed under
| Bank street to connect the buildings on
either side.
This is the largest building operation
ever undertaken in Newark. The cost OF
the present building was about S2,OOo.ooo'

BONDS STRENGTHENED.
North Jersey Has First Lien
on South Orange Road
Stock Will Rise.

About 500. 600, coo of bonds of the old
South Orange Railway Company were
cancelled yesterday, and this gives the
North Jersey Street Railway Company
the first lien on the old road and at the
same time greatly strengthens the North
Jerseys bonds.
lin speaking of the North Jersey Com
pany's bonds, Mr.. J. E.. Hulshizer. Jr:.
of the New Jersey Title Guarantee and
Trust Company. which corporation is
handling the bonds of the company, says
that they are coming in satisfactorily.
Yesterday the North Jersey Company's
bonds were quoted at 50 and later at S9A
bid and 80 and 901A asked. There are
many inquiries and those who hold the
bonds say confidently that they will climb
up rapidly within the e few weeks to
the hundred mark. They will begin
drawing. interest on and after April l,
much to the satisfaction of the bond
holdeds.
The steady rise in the North Jerseys
bonds will have a very appreciable effect
on the company's stock. 1t was station
ary today at 80 and 30A, but in, financial
circles a rise will be quickly felt.

FOR THE NORTHERN ROUTE.
Arrangements Being Made For q
Mass Meeting to Favor It.

The Joint committee appointed by the
va rio,1s mprcyement n business mems
associations on the northern section OF
the Heights and North Hudson, to agitate
a movement in favor of having the route
of the proposed Western Boulevard be-
gan at the foot of Manhattan avenue, in
stead of at Sip avenue, met at Pohlmann's
last night and arranged to hold a mass
meeting at that resort on Saturday even

Mr.. Prigge of the Twelfth Ward I'M
provement Association and others favored
Central Hall as the most central loca-

Interested insecuring the proposed north

county. 1t was stated by one of the
members that President Hexamer, of the
Good Roads Association, of Hoboken; ex-
| President Henry Morton of the same or
ganization; DR.. Clausen Il other promi-
nent Hobokenites wanted the northern
route. and a promised to aid in the agi-
tation in favor. of it.
Considerable discussion followed con-
corning the amount of influence that coll
be brought to scar in " of the north
ern route. Of the Freeholders in North
Hudson it was said that Klein of Gutten-
berg and Higgins and Ripple of Union Hill
and Lynch of West Hoboken, were opposed
to it; that Dietz of North Bergen. while
opposed to any loop, favored then northern
rather than the southern route. The be

TO the fact that the Democratic primaries
were being held and a quorum was not

stir by calling for the election of a tenn

the people, he declared with some gusto,
that he was ever ready to be their serv-
ant.
Councilman McGovern, who was called
upon to act as chairman pro tenn, de-
clined the offer with thanks. He said ne
did not see how -four members OF the

marks were occasioned by the invitation

The Councilman referred to the fran

remarked that, if necessary, mandamus

eoRMAN's DOG STORY.
It Was a Good One But 1t Didn't
Secure His Discharge.

Frank German, who says he belongs in
Philadelphia, proved himself to be a phen-
omenal liar at his trial in the Special
Sessions Court this morning for breaking
and entering. He was discovered in Mrs.
Carrie Sorter's rooms, No. 15 Halliday
street, on February 81. He was seen by
Mrs. Sorter and other tenants in the
house and Policeman Graft arrested him
from a description given by the women
who had seen him..
The defendant had evidently been on
trial before. He told a long story about a
man in New York giving him $25 to come
to Jersey for a stolen bull dog, and said
he visited a lot of stables and saloons. He
had no definite dea as to where the dog
could be found, whether in Hoboken, Jer-
sey City or Red Bank. He visited Hobo
ken first.
You thought, I suppose" suggested
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle, thai
a dog stolen in New York must necessar-
lily be in Hoboken."
"Well, I thought he might be there" re-
piled the defendant.
German saoid he saw more dogs in Sa-
looms the in stables. He denied that ne
had been in Mrs. Sorter's house at all
Judge Blair convicted him and said thai
sentence would be imposed next Saturday
