OGDEN FIRM GETS CONTRACT
COREY BROS. LOWEST BIDDERS
ON IMPROVEMENT.
OGDEN FIRM GETS CONTRACT
Especial to The Herald,

Ogden. Jan. 3.-An ogden firm has
secured the first contract for grading
the new Southern Pacific Improvement
work. of which there is TO be a large
amount done during the coming year
The firm is Corey Bros. & Co., and the
contract embraces fifteen miles imme-
diately west of Wadsworth Oh the new
line known as the Wadsworth cutoff.
This line leaves the town of Wads-
worth entirely off the railroad.
The cost Of the fifteen miles Of grad
ing is estimated al $4,000. The work
is said to be mostly earth excavation,
except for an 1,100-foot tunnel a short
distance from Brown.
The Improvement projected is not
a cutoff but is in fact six miles far
Their than the present line. However,
the new roadbed almost follows the
water level, and besides having an easy
grade, is also generally free from the
sharp curves. of the present route.
The town of Wadsworth is apt to be-
come a deserted village. 1t is left ten
miles to the north Of the new line. The
city is a division point and has prob
ably 1000 population, with an electric
lighting system and city waterworks.

Near Tintic.
. The San Pedro road has filed in the
United States land Office map os
twenty miles Of its route in Rush and

the map begins a dozen miles east of
Vernon and east Of the Oregon Short

from Bolter summit, and following
along nearly parallel to Ironton, where
the different branches of the Short Line

Lake or beyond Ironton is concerned.
Several surveys have been made, all

Unable to find his home in the fog
AMI having wandered about the city
since noon yesterday, Henry Peck was
brought into the police station last
night almost frozen
Peck is an almost helpless cripple
and lives in the Cannon ward near the
Jordan river. About noon yesterday,
he claims, he started out for walk
and in the dense fog lost his way and
traversed a greater part of the city in
an effort to find his bearings before he
was brought to police headquarters.
He fell numbers Of times in his wan
derings and was covered with mud
when brought to the station.
Being thinly clad and without d top
coat, he was numb with the cold. He
was kept at the station, the officers
thinking that he would recover suffi-
GENTLY to proceed TO his home. He
finally started alone but was picked up
later by patrolmen on First South
street, near Main, and returned to tbs
station in a helpless condition. Unable
to find his way alone he was sent to
his home in the patrol wagon.

footsteps except the dim light of the
sun which managed to tricklc feebly
through.
People slipped, hewed, slid, lodged,
stumbled and used vigorous language.
The street car company was hampered
by the effect of the dampness on the
electric current, and there was trouble
all around. 1t is deemed remarkable
that there were no serious accidents.
There are not any instruments in the
local weather Office that tell about fogs.
but the weather director is positive
that Salt Lake has not been visited by
a denser fog than that of yesterday.
About one year ago. in December, there
were some heavy local fogs, but none
of them was nearly so dense as the one
of yesterday.
Salt Lake City was not the only place
affected. The fog came in from the
northwest across the lake, and it is be-
lieved at the weather office that the
damp cloak covered the most of the
northern part of The state Ogden had
as bad a time as Salt Lake.

SCENES AND INCIDENTS PgRITe 81

n Id Jupiter PIuvius, the ancient in
dividual who dumps the storms
over various parts of the world
as he takes notion, gave Salt Lake
City a new deal yesterday afternoon.
He turned daylight into darkness, i'm
peded traffic, half-choked persons who
dared venture into the streets, and
made all manner Of trouble by sending
down the densest fog the city has ever
had
Old-time Salt Lakers chopped their
way through the dense atmosphere and
plowed along the streets with loud COM
ments of disgust. But the people who
had lived in Portland, Seattle or San
Francisco, or in classic London, shifted
the air like an old war-horse catching
the smoke of battle. 1t made them feel
at home.
The gloomy cloak enshrouded the city
about o'clock in the afternoon. Il
lasted into the night. Lights were
turned on to dispel some of the dark
ness, but in the streets there was moth

British Columbia Official Seeks In

George M. Hays, secretary of state,
today received from E. 0. T. Schofield,
librarian of the legislative library of
Victoria, B. c., a request for papers
and documents bearing upon irriga-
ton in Montana, says the Herald.
Mr.. Hays will send to Mr.. Schofield
copies of the report of the commits
sioner of labor and agriculture, as
well as any other printed matter he
can find dealing with the subject.
In his letter to the secretary of
state MI. Schofield says:
Il have the honor to inform you
that l am particularly anxious to cb-
tain for the library of the legislative
assembly of British Columbia as much
information as possible relating to
the question of irrigation, as there
are to be found in this province great
tracts Of land which can only be
made available for agricultural pur-

MONTANA HORSE DISEASE.
Case Of Peculiar Malady Reported
from Cascade.

from Cascade.
A case of that peculiar ailment to
which the horses Of some parts of the
state are subject and which because
of it's absence in other states is
known as the Montana horse dis
ease has been reported to DR..
Knowles, state veterinarian, from
Cascade and he. left for that place
yesterday to make an investigation.
The ailment belongs to that class
technically known to veterinarians as
trypanosoma, whatever that may be.
In some respects it resembles malaria
in the human animal and has many Of
the characteristics of that malady.
Like the human disease which it re-
sembles, trypanosoma nearly always
makes it's appearance in low, swampy
localities and is of rather i%nfrequent
occurrence, a fact that is in it's IA
vor, as it almost always proves fatal.
The case which the doctor has been
called to investigate occurred on the
banks of the Missouri, which proba-
bly, accounts for it's appearance.

" There are no new developments to-

The Gazette is informed that the

Hady Caldwell, the man who. was

not guilty of setting them, but as yet
he has given no information. He

ARE LESS oBLIGlNG.
Complaint Travellers Are Now Making
AGAINST Meruer Roads.

Against Merger Roads.
The latest tactics of the merger
roads have to do with through pas
senger travel from points west of
Minneapolis to Chicago and east,
says the Minneapolis Times.
It has been customary for railway
officials to wire ahead, at the request
of a passenger, and ask the connect
ing line over which the passenger
wishes to- continue his journey to re-
serve sleeping accommodations.
Complaints are made that east
bound travellers from the Pacific coast
and Montana have been denied the
usual courtesy in this regard, and on
reaching the Twin Cities and asking
for their berths have been told that
no reservations have been made.
Passengers thus treated have *
pressed a preference for other than
the Burlington line for their route
to Chicago.
The Great Northern is said to be the
worst offender.

Glendive, in charge of Minnie Farrell

were arrested at that place Sunday

over $50 and with the money they
spent for sleeping car tickets and 9th
