NO Discrimination
BY HARTMAN ROADS
Periodical Ogden Gateway Ru-
NOR in Circulation.
GOULD WOULD RESENT
SAN PEDRO ROAD WILL BE A
FACTOR.

3 rumor growing out Of a Chicago
dispatch spread among the railroad Of
fees yesterday to the effect thai the
Ogden gateway might not in the future
furnish such a free entry for traffic east
ward and westward as in the past. The
Ogden gateway has been closed by ru-
NOR so many times that the suggestion
IS usually accepted as a joke in rail-
road circles. The story in its latest
form was to the effect that the confer
ence OF Hartman traffic officials in
chicago last week meant the laying Of
plans TO divert all possible traffic 10
the Hartman lines. giving the Unioa
Pacific advantages at Ogden to the dst-
Tinient of the Rio Grande and connect
ing lines.
Little credence is placed in this re-
port BIZ the best informed railroad men,
although it is taken for granted that
the traffic officials of the Hartman
roads Will get all the business they can.
1t is asserted, however that they will
not attempt this by a discrimination

pointed out that at this juncture such
= move would eventually be a serious
blow at the business Of the Southern
Pacific. In the first place Harrims n

Eureka Has Ere

Eureka, Sept. IA dwelling house on
lower Main street caught fire shortly af-
ter o clock yesterday afternoon and
was quickly destroyed, together with
nearly all the household goods which it
contained. A stiff breeze was blowing
up the canyon at the time, and the entire
business part of the town was threatened.
The chemical engine was used and water
was quickly hauled 90 the scene in the
city sprinkling wagon. The house was
the property of Mrs. Anna Schaper and
was occupied by Mrs. Phillips and her
son, George Tidwell, and family. who
came here recently from Diamond. AS
near as can be learned, there was no
insurance on either house or furniture.
The city is entirely without water SER
vice. and lower Main street Is lined with
double row of old frame structures that
are a menace to the town. As most OF
the heavy winds are from that direction,
insurance rates are almost prohibitiVe
and several insurance companies have
withdrawn altogether from the field

BICYCLE Is A LUXURY.
Novel Point Decided in Justice
Kroeger's Court.

The novel question of whether a BIZ
cycle is n necessity or a luxury was
presented to Judge Kroeger yesterday
Tor Judicial consideration. The ques-
ton was raised during the trial OF
civil suit in which the League Cycle
company was suing z. &. George. a 10
year-old COY employed by the Rio
Grande. for SIS claimed to be due on
bicycle bought from the company.
The defense was that George was
minor, and the question was raised as
20 whether bicycle was a necessity
or life, or just means OF pleasure. and
whether or not the defendant could be
held 10 a contract involving something
that was mere means of pleasure. 1t
was shown by the evidence that George
lived within block and a half of his
work and Judge krOeger decided that
in his case at least the bicycle was not
necessity of life. and he also held that
George, as a minor, could not be held
under such contract. A decision was
accor0jngly rendered in favor of the
defendant.

GRASS FAMINE REPORTED
IN HENRY MOUNTAINS.

Richfield, Sept GA grass famine in
the Henry mountains is reported. George
BrtnkerhOft and George S. Coleman, two
of Wayne cOuntYs leading cattlemen,
who are just up from that section. say
there is very little grass there, and this
usually choice grazing section of Utah
is almost worthless Tor this ser son. The
copfous rains which have falle-l in other
parts OF the state did not reach the
Henry mountains, and consequently the
ranges are dried up. This is a serious
matter with some southern Utah stock
men, as they depended upon these usu-
ally excellent ranges to winter their
stock through upon.

other fevers, is reported in I4Oa, Wayne
