THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM
School Board Recognizes Necessity Of Securing
More COmmOdOus Quarters.
Too Early In the Day 20 Speculate on
ihe Probable Successor 10
supt Cooper.

The news Of the decision Of Super
.ntendent Frank b, Cooper to leave
salt Lake 20 accept the position of
superintendent Of. the Seattle schools
has naturally given rise 10 some specu.
lation as TO who his successor VIII be.
IL Is rather early however, to say
much IN regard to the matter, for
nothing definite can be said. 1t was
only this morning that the public was
notified of the change. and although
Mr., Cooper confirms the report. he has
not yet rendered his resignation to the
school board.
Prest Newman Of the board was seen
today, and he stated that II was al.
together too soon TO say anything IN
respect to the superintendency He OBJ
served, however. that II seemed that
Salt Lake was a very good place for
man TO get reputation. He thought
IL would be generally regretted that
Mr. Cooper was going to sever his
connection with the Salt Lake
schools. and as to who his successor
would be he did not feel
that he could speculate on a single
name. He expects however, that the
board will be flooded with applications
from all parts OF the country. 1T is our
first purpose" said MIR Newman ito
get man who has merit, then we will
consider the place where he is from.
Between an Incompetent Utah man and
a competent man from the East, we
VIII take the latter but think the pc
stlon Of nearly every member OF the
board Is. that between n competent
Utah man and a man from outside the
state they will prefer the Utah man.
Az TO the speculation in relation 10
the proposed High school site as be-
tween the Exposition grounds and the
old University. President Newman says
that the board has not IN the remotest
way considered the proposition. He
acknowledge however. that the city Is
in sore need IN fact in absolute need Of
n school In he vicinity Of the old
University The erstwhle normal
training building is beiag used by the
schools but II he State should see NJ
10 sell the property Il would leave the
children cut IN ,he streets The major
lty Of the working people live on the
west side said he and the High school
is the poor mans college. His children
can be given as good an education as
they need IN ordinary life, practically
for nothing. and for that reason the old
University sire would be much more
20 them.
The east side has the University and
many OF the best schools In the city.
but the people o. both the east and west
sides are eOntendng earnestly for the
location OF the High school In their re-
spective sections The necessity for a !
new building is recognized by every |
member of the board The present |
quarters are entirely Inadequate There !
ire over 200 pupils In the High school
md two are sitting In seats made for |
me so that the board will have TO make
some new provision.

practically level, but at the same time.
desolate lands; the construction nom
Tecoma across the alkali flats to Lake
Point would represent lao miles Of
new track
II Is said, however, that the cost Of
construction would be comparatively
small. as there would be no heavy
grades to encounter, neither would
there be extensive piling for many
miles, as In the case or the Ogden
1.ucin cutoff Then, too, the distance
would be cut down fully thrty-hve
miles from Elko to Uintah
In the advent OF this being done, the
main line Of The Union Pacific then
would run through Salt Lake City, fol-
lowing the Short line tracks 10 Layton,
where six-mlle out-off would be
Built through the mouth OF the canyon
10 uintah, and the transcontinental
trains go east up Echo canyon, as has
so often been stated before
The interest on the money expended
In the construction OF this eut-oft from
Elko 10 Lake Point would 60 10 more
than pay the expense Of extra engines
and the wear and tear connected with
hauling trains over the heavy grades In
the vicinity OF Promontory, to say moth
ing Of the swift time that could be made
over the level tracks Of the new routes.
In the meantime the outcome of the
meeting tomorrow night VIII be
watched with great interest both in
Salt Lake and Ogden, for the PROPOSE

tlon to being the meeting point for all
transcontinental traffic and the stopover

GRADING OPERATIONS.
Lively Times Down at Uvada Between
Rival Gangs.

Supplies are continuing to be rushed
TO the front and the battle on the grade
down beyond Uyada on the other side
Of the Nevada line is growing In in
terest The farmers In the vicinity
are reaping a rich harvest as the out
come OF grading operations, ms all
available teams are being pressed into
the service, From word received
from the seat of the war II appears
that c. o. Whttemore was the FIRST to
arrive At the scene, and he secured an
the men and teams available for ac-
ton. TO later lose big percentage OF
his force owing to the fact that Divi.
sion Superintendent Young of the
Oregon Short Line offered his men from
$40 20 so day for the hire OF their
teams.
When the Short Line tracklayers ar
rived on the scene on Sunday they
found that Mr.. Whittemore, and party
under Adam Paul had pitched their
tents on the state line and we're walt
ing for the Invasion OF their territory,
The tracklayers soon worked their way
TO the line and then, despite the formal
protests Of Mr.. Whittemore, proceeded
to lay steel upon the disputed right Of
way. II is also said that Mr.. White
more has encountered a great difficulty
in the matter Of securing the district
judge OF Lincoln county In order to OBJ
tain an injunction staying the Oregon
Short Line from constructing track on
the grade. From last accounts the
judge has not been located and the
work Of tracklaying is proceed'ne ann.n

was indicated in dispatch that came
to Angus ]. Cannon, from his brother
John .. Cannon at it'll a. m. today,
Monterey time.
At the Presidents Office not a word
had been received up 20 the hour CT

otherwise no change or improvement
over yesterday"
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Asso-
ciated Press, as result of a rumor to
the effect that President Cannon had
just died, queried its agent at San
Francisco, who IN turn queried the
agent at Monterey. The latter replied;
HE Is not dead yet" but reafflrmed
the correctness Of the bulletin sent out

there was a project on foot for the
Southern Pacific 10 build cut off
across the southern beach Of the Great
Salt Lake to join the Garfield branch Of
the Oregon Short Line at Lake Point
and come into Salt Lake from the
southwest. instead OF Ogden as here
tofore. This, said Mr.. Mccormick, would
most assmedly be done, providing there
We're terminal facilities forthcoming in
this city.
This move II carried out, will be
great thing for Salt Lake. There have
been rumors 10 the effect In the air
for some time past, but they have met
with scant serious attention and have
been dismissed as being visionary; Mr.
Mccormick however, says that he has
inside Information 10 the effect that
these plans VIII be carried out: and
there the matter rests,
With this new feature In view II be-
gins to look that the railroad map OF
Utah is going to receive a severe shak-
ing up, and the Union paclfc interests
either mean business or are playing
huge bluff upon the Clark road people
in order TO get them to abandon their
project OF building through TO the coast,
WHAT THE PROJECT is.
Briefly the new project Of bringing
the Southern Pacific into Salt Lake
means the abandonment OF the Ogden
Lucin cutoff and the construction of
new cut-off either from Elk0, New,
or Tecpma, New, across the desert
leaving Great Salt Lake on the
left hand side OF the track
instead Of on the right hand as now.
The cutoff from Elko would mean the

Nice, April 9.-President Loubet, ac-
companied by the French minister and
other officials, placed a crown Of flow
ers upon Gambetta's tomb today. He
expressed the hope that the French
parliament would soon vote to transfer

proposed that this be accomplished by

day.
President Loubet subsequently re-
paired to the port OF Nice, three quar-
tiers Of a mile away, where he was wei.

steps were taken TO ameliorate social
conditions. Solidarity and civil peace
could not be secured except by recip-
roeal sacrifices. Continuing, Presi-
dent Loubet said that private interests
must be subordlnated to the greater
interests Of the nation, The republic
had already shown in its legislation
an appreciation Of the necessities OF
the laboring democracy, but legislation
alone would not suffice The give and

occupancy, agreed 10 by both partlesi
the other Is by the filing OF petition
for a receiver. The two resolutions or
the 18th OF January and the goth OF
March recommend to the people OF Og-
den not to pay the water rentals due
until all litigation Is settled. Now they
do not say in those resolutions not TO
use the water or In other words boycott
the company, but only not to pay for
the use of said water That Is not right.
There does seem to have been some sort
OF agreement between the defendants,
perhapsnOt thought OF as an agreement.
to prevent the payment TO the plaintiffs
OF water rentals due them and the mea-
sures resorted to seem to point to an
intent upon the part OF the defendants
TO prevent the plaintiffs from shutting
of the water In order to force delin-
quent consumers TO make payment.
There is no justification for any ac-
lions which prevent the collection OF
water rentals and still allow the use Of
the water by those who are delinquent
In their payments for H.
In support Of the judges opinion that
there was an intent upon the part of the
defendants to prevent the plaintiffs
shutting off the water, TO force payment
OF rentals. he referred to the affidavit OF
County Commissioner VIM. G., Wilson,
which stirred up so much anger In the
city officials OF Ogden at yesterdays
hearing II relates TO an interview be-
tween him and Councilman Abbott, In
which the latter repr0ached the COM
missioners for agreeing to pay for the
use OF the water and said the county
board ought to stand by the council to
get the water works." and asked II II
couldn't be done.
Councilman Abbott In an affidavit
denied the words used In the quoted
interview But said Judge Marshall,
"he did not deny to have said some
thing similar"
The decision orders temporary IN
junction to issue according TO the bill
Of complaint, The right of defendant
TO continue litigation and to petition for
a receiver is not interfered with and
the plaintiff must file bonds 10 the sum
Of $4,000 in consideration Of the issu-
ance of the temporary injunction
This injunction will give TO the Ogden
Waterworks company undsturbed
management of the mains, stop-cocks.
etc. until there Is change In the llti-
CATION, They can shut off the water
until rentals are paid, and their em-
ployes must not be molested by the city
officers.
''The decision IL very gratifying and
extremely satisfactory" said Attorney
Allison after Judge Marshall finished,
'it gives us the unmolested manage
ment of the system and the control over
the stop cocks, curb boxes etc, and
will enable us to collect the rentals
due"
Naturally the attorneys for Ogden
city tnke an entirely different view OF
the case.
