CAR LINE SOUTH OF MURRAY
SPECULATION AS TO RAPID
TRANSIT DESIGNS.
Franchise Was Granted Last Septem-
Der Good for a Year-country
Needs the Line.

Just when the Salt Lake Rapid Tran
sit company will extend it's lire from
Murray to Sandy is a problem that is
a source of interest to the public, and
a worry to the company. The project
ed line may be run through this sum
mer, and it may not. No assurances
whatever upon this subject are OBJ
tainable from the Rapid Transit COM
pany's office.
on Sept. last q franchise was
granted to the company by the county
commissioners to build and maintain
the new line from Murray to Sandy.
1t is one of those easy-going grants,
the privilege to run for twenty-five
wears. The required acceptance was
filed by the grantee on Sept. y, three
days before the limit of time expired
b. the terms Of the franchise the
company is required to commence con-
strUctiOn work upon It's proposed line
within sixty days after date of accept
ance of the grant, otherwise the fran
chise is to become "fOrfeitaDle." 1t IS
also provided that if the line or any
part of it should not De completed
within a year from Sept. Il, 1899, the
date of acceptance OF the grant, the
franchise will be forfeited for such
part Of the road as is then uncom-
pleted."
While at first blush it may appear
that the Rapid Transit company has
already forfeited its franchise, it is
known that the corDany's officials
contend that there has been no forfeit
and that it has until the 18th day OF
the coming Septembe~ to commence
running cars and collecting fares from
MURRAY to Sandy.
Considering the rapid growth of the
country from Murray south, west and
southwest, and the large amount OF
passenger and light freight traffic in
prospect from the erection and opera
ton of so many large smelling plants
it is quite unlikely that the Rapid
/ Transit company viii let the year &C

CaIiiornia's Turf Ca den.
New York SUM

IT is not known generally that Cali
fornia owes to the late Coils p. Hunt
ington the establishment on the Pacific
slope Of state turf garden. Mr. Hunt
ington always was interested in the
promotion Of agriculture. and for many
years was a friend and patron of
James Bradford OlcOtt of Connecticut.
Mr. Olcott is endowed with a strain Of
quaint originality, and Mr.. Hunting
ton liked men Of ideas. Mr.. UlCOtt
made up his mind many years ago
that what this country needed most
was the clothing Of its hillsides and
meadows with the ancient grazing
grasses of older countries. He made
two trips around the globe to collect
the finest specimens Of Sod that the
world could show. and these are main

supervision of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural Experiment Station on Mr..
OIcott's homestead in South Manches-
ter. Conn.
Mr.. Olcott desired to start a state
turf garden in California, principally
for the reason that better turf is bad
~ needed in that state. and also that
his experiments might not be interfered
with BY the long New England winters
He appealed to Mr.. Huntington and his
request was not in vain. Mr.. Hunting
ton put at Mr.. Olcott's disposal free
transportation for his turf from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. and also made
arrangements for the establishment OF
the garden in proper place in south
crn California.

Scientists are agreed on putting the

the reign Of Harold Hardrada. there
are illusions to the VaiOr of nlden
