IMPROVING THE ELECTRIC LIGHT
NEW PLAN THAT WILL PRE-
VENT FLUCTUATIONS.
Lighting and Power Circuits Are to
Be Separated-Light Consumers
Have Made Many Complaints.

The Union Light & Power company
has determined to improve the quality
of the electrical illumination in the city
by separating the light and the. power
circuits. As matters now stand the
street railway. small motors, and in
candescent lighting circuits are fed
from the same source. with the result
that fluctuations in the loads thrust
iipon the railway and other motors pro-
duce variations in the Illuminating viz
tues of the incandescent lamps used in
the shops and residences. There has
been a generous amount of complaint
on this account from the light con-
sunleTs and in order TO eliminate it the
company is making arrangements to
keep the circuits distinct
There are three dynamos in the Big
Cottonwood plant in the canyon, and
two in the Utah Power companys
plant situated juss below il. Two weeks
ago one of the three dynalnos in the
upper plant was connected with the
mains from the lower plant at a point
two miles from the canyon, and the
combined currents conveyed into the
station in the rear Of the Knutsford.
II is now the intention of the company
to use the energy from the Knutsford
sub station for lighting purposes only,
and then devote the current from the
two remaining dynamos in the upper
plant. in addition to that from the Og-
den power plant as soon as connections
are made. to the service of the street
railway company After these changes
go into effect the calculating now no.
ticeable in the lighting circuits will
cease

Church Authorities Decide to Divide
Salt Lake Stake.
HAS BECOME TOO LARGE
HOW THE NEW DISTRICTS ARE
BOUNDED.
Territory South of Tenth South and
East of State Will Be Known as
Granite Stake, and ALI South of
Tenth South and West of State
as Jordan.

The Salt Lake stake Of Zion Will be
divided into three separate stakes, ac-
oording TO a decision reached by the
first presidency and twelve apostles at
a quorum meeting yesterday. The sec
ond stake will be called Granite stake,
and Will include that part of Salt Lake
county south Of Tenth South and east
Of State street, while the Jordan stake
VIII be the country lying south of Tenth
South and west of State.
The new stakes derive their names, it
viii be observed, from the locality en-
braced by each. Granite is another
name for Wasatch canyon, in the south
eastern part of the county, which will
be included in the new stake of that
name, and Jordan stake gets its title
from the river Jordan, which will flow
through the southwestern stake.
The need of a division of the Salt
Lake stake, the most thickly populated
in the church. has long been recognized,
its present proportions being entirely
too large to permit of the most salts
factory results.
The change will leave all of Salt Lake
City north of Tenth South in Salt Lake
stake, but a number of wards are di-
vided by the new lines, and both of the
new stakes will take in sections of the
City south. 1T viii be some time, per-
haps, before the revision is perfected.
The next step viii be the appointment
of presidents for the two new stakes.
The most prominent names mentioned
in this connection are those of Frank
y. Taylor of Forest Dale for Granite
and Orrin P. Miller of Riverton for
Jordan.

PROGRESS OF THE BURLINGTON
COMPANIES STATEMENT CON-
CERNING WYOMING WORK.
Says the Intention Is to Build to Iron
Mines Owned By Another Com
pany-Survey to Utah.

The Burlington is now grading west
to Harteville, Wyo., and it is said that
it has serious intentions Of pushing
through to Utah. The annual report of
the company just issued states that the
extension is being built to connect with
the valuable Wyoming iron mines.
There is a popularity about the So call
ed Burlington statement, because the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company has
long lease on the bulk of the iron land
in that vicinity, and its road parallels
the Burlington grading almost the en-
tire distance. 1t is we'll known that
the company has a survey that leaves
the Platte river near Harteville, and
extends over 200 miles towards Utah.
This survey parallels the Union Pa
cific for a distance of about sixty miles,
The work that is being done is of q. very
stable character and that coupled to
the statement about the Wyoming iron
fields is sufficient to indicate that the
theory of the western march of the
Burlington is about to become a condi-
ton. So far only a few miles of track
have been laid, but the grade work is
being pushed right alongside Of that
done by the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany.

Judge Hiles Decides For Her Against
c. II. Roberts.

Judge Hiles yesterday heard the case
of c. H. Roberts against Dora Coakley,
and gave Judgment in favor of the de-
PENDANT to the amount of $50. The suit

water he had discovered and developed in
the hill near by. Some months ago Mrs.
Coallley withdrew her consent to allow
the defendant to run his ecnannel and
filled up the waterway.
After securing a temporary restraining
order, Roberts tore away the obstruction
erected by Mrs. Coakley, who claimed
that he was draining her well by using
the channel In her answer ana cross
complaint she asked for damages in the
sum of $3.50 by reason of this act. In
his petition Roberts had asked for 500
damages.

without argument. d. n. Straup who.
with Judge o. W. Powers, represented
Mrs. Coakley. insisted that he wanted TO
make a statement, when Judge Hiles in
terrupted him with the remark that the
mind of the court was already made up
on the subject, and that he was prepared
to give "a decision at that moment
MIR. Straup let 1t go at that and the
court decided the case as above set forth.
