NO SUNDAY SHAVING
Supreme Court Upholds the Law
Preventing Barber Shops Be-.
ing Open on Sabbath.

The supreme court yesterday morning
declared valid the law making it I'M
lawful for barber shops to be open on
Sunday for the purpose of transacting
business. The case which was a test one,
was brought in the city court almost two
years ago by j. II. Boutwell,, a member Of
the local BARRIERS union.
On Sunday. June 16, 1901 he entered the
shop Of Henry SOpher, which was run in
connection with the Albany hotel, and
secured haircut and a shave. The
EeXt day he had the proprietor arrested
for violating the law. In the city court
SOpher was fined SD and costs. He APP
pealed the case to the district court
which sustained the lower one. Then the
case was taken 10 the supreme court
with the above stated result.
The opinion UNFOLDING the law was
written by District Judge Hart. who sat
time the case was argued. His deductions
ana findings were concUrFed in by Chief
Justice Baskin.

NEW SHORT LINE DEPOT.
Terminal improvements Being Made
According to Agreement.

Before the end Of another year the
foundations of a handsome, new depot
for the Oregon Short Line will be well
advanced 1t will be erected by the side
of the shabby, wooden structure which
is used by the company a [ present. and
1t viii be a structure the city can be
proud OF. New depOts have been prom
ised here so often that not much con-
fidence is placed in announcements of
this kind. The assurances now, how
ever, are backed by something more
substantial than promises.
Work preliminary 10 the improve
ment has been in evidence for some
time on the west side. Property has
been acquired for the purpose of en-
larging the yards and to meet the re-
quirements Of the new depot. Between
Fourth and Fifth West streets the
changes are marked. Buildings which
stood in the way of where the main
coal yards, have been RACED and the
preparations for the entrance to the
depot employ a large force of men.
Two years ago the Short Line ac-
quired valuable franchises from the
city on the west side. Certain condi-
tons were demanded Of the company
at that time in consideration of the
favOrs which 1t had received. One Of
these was the question of terminal IA
cilities which the company promised to
make, and the other was the matter
OF the new depot. The company alec
promised to make other improvements,
but the items named are the principal
features of that agreement. A bond
was given by the company and the
provisions regarding the terminal IA
ciIities are now being carried out
The improvements are in accordance
with the conditions exacted in the
bond. Nothing viii be done in the mat
ter of the depot until the question of
the bennington entrance is disposed Of.
The new depot Will be built across
South Temple street and win be in
plain view almost as soon as the turn
is made into that streete from the heart
of the city. This is a feature which
will be a surprise to most people who
have generally supposed that the new
structure will occupy the same site as
now.
This is a feature which is being
adopted in cities generally, as it elm
! mates much of the danger now attend
ant upon crossings which are close to
a depot The structure will cost not
less than S300. coo. and may exceed that
sum about $4,000. Ia this structure

OF the road for twenty years to come.

VIRGINIA TELEPHONE MERGER
SALE OF RICHMOND CoMPANY's
PLANT AT A LOSS OF 100000.
Public in Favor of Single System
Duplication Of Wires and Double
Charges Aroused Opposition.
From Washington Post, Saturday,

CFrom Washington Post, Saturday,
Jan. 81, 1903
Richmond, Va, Jan. 30.-The proper
ty of the Richmond Telephone company
was today sold to Warner Moore & Co.
for $4,000. The purchaser, it is be
ieved, acted for the Bell Telephone
company, which has been given the
right by the city council to merge with
the independent company. Only an
hour before the sale it was made
known that the property could be sold
under foreclosure. w. Q. HeinrOth of
Chicago had sued out temporary in
junction, fOrbidding the sale. in order
that he might secure payment of s., 900
due on bonds of the company, held by
Indiana people represented by him.
Judge Waddill granted the injunction
Wednesday, but service of the papers
was delayed at the request of counsel,
pending an effort to adjust matters
outside the courts. Some basis of set
tlement was arranged this morning at
a conference, and it is believed that
the claim Of Heinroth and the people
he represented was secured.
A long and stubborn fight was waged
between the two telephone companies
operating in this city. In many streets
the duplication of poles and overhead
wires incident to the operation of two
separate systems had become a rnui-
Sdnce. Inc PUBIC ndQ also Deen DUR
dened by the double charges which
those using both systems were COM
PEELED to pay, and by the innumerab bic
veXations inherent in a. double system.
Consequently the public, as chief suf-
ferer, was glad to see an end to the
fight between the two companies.
In its petition TO the common coun-
Gil for permission TO transfer its prop
erty to the Southern Bell Telephone
company, and to be released from it's
obligations to the city under its Ordi-
nance. the Richmond company stated
that it had ascertained that public
opinion was emphatically in favor of
only one telephone system, and that
as it is now required to put its wires
underground. te continue its system at
the present rates would entail upon it
an increased loss President Maupin of
the Richmond company said that the
loss suffered by the proposed sale
would amount to $4,000. Mr. Warner
Moore. the principal holder of the com
pany's stock and bonds, addressing the
common council, said that every re-
source had been exhausted in the hope
of interesting additional capital, but he
did not think the company could be
made to pay, and that the concern. not

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding a Common
Disease.

Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very
effective in his own case; his plan was
to eat nothing whatever for twenty
four hours or presumably until the
trouble had disappeared.
Although not able to speak from per-
sonal experience as to the effective
ness of this treatment, it certainly has
the merit of extreme economy, but it
occurs to us that the application of it
to a case of nasal catarrrh might be
attended with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a
chronic cold in the head, and Mr..
Ty aims treatment, if it should become
a fad. would make of US a nation of
fasters; an army, emulating the exam
ple of the immortal Tanner, who
achieved worldwide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a ma
tional disease, and there is little doubt
but that errors in diet, particularly
over-eating, is a very common cause.
Most people, however, are more in
terested in the cure of the trouble than
in the cause, and modern medical
science has produced more effective and
less heroic remedies than Mr.. TWain's
Hydrastin is a new remedy, very eff
fective in some forms of Catarrh. Red
Gum is another which, on account of
its antiseptic properties, is very val
liable. while many severe cases of
Chronic Catarrh have been entirely
cured by the sanguinaria or extract of
Blood Root alone.
Within a year an enterprising chem
ist has combined al of these remedies
in tablet form, palatable and conve-
nient, and the superiority of this tablet
over other catarrh remedies is so appar-
ent that all druggists now carry them
in stock to supply the popular demand
They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's and It is doubtful if any medicine
has achieved a national popularity in
so short time as this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands Of travelling men because

used any time and in any quantity
being free from Cocaine. opiate or any

For nasal Catarrh they are far supe-

lent and annoying as the disease itself
For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh
and catarrh of stomach these tablets

WILL IMPROVE
CAR SERVICE
More Coaches and Heavier Rails
Promised.
FOR NEW DEPOT
o. S. L. MAKING TERMINAL I'M
PRoVEMENTS AS AGREED.


A number of valuable improvements
which are contemplated by the Consol-
idated Railway & Power company
VIII materially increase the efficiency
Of the street car service the coming
year, The company was seriously
crippled about a year ago by the burn
ing of the car stables. which it had ac-
CURED only a short time before as a
result of the consolidation. Twenty
winter cars We're destroyed by the fire,
and an effort was made to replace
them, but the order was not flied until
after the cold weather set in.
The company has eight more cars
than il had a year ago at this time.
but these coaches are only part of an
order placed with the car builders last
May. superintendent Read said yes
terday that more of these cars are
being turned out by the manufacturers.
They are the largest combination style,
which can be stripped to the seats and
used for summer cars if needed.
To Have Heavy Rails.
Another Improvement to be made by
the company affects about four and
One-half miles Of tracks. The light
tracks now used will be replaced by a
heavy sixty pound rail. These rails
are sixty feet long and do away with
half the joints made necessary in the
shorter rail. The effect is noticeable
in the movement of the ears, which is
smoother and they are not apt to leave
the track. The large combination
coaches which the company is intro
ducing are too heavy for the rails used
on some Of the lines Of the company.
In certain kinds of weather it is i'm
possible to get power enough from the
light rails to move the heavy cars.
Some of the new steel is already deliv-
cred.
The work will Ee cODouoaDcad aS soon
as the weather becomes settled. The
rails were ordered last May, but were
not delivered until after it was too late
to begin work. 1t is also intended to
double a number of the single tracks.
This will avoid delay by reducing the
stops were cars now have to wait at
the switches to pass each other. The
heavier rails will make it necessary to
strengthen the feed wires which supply
power. The company has a couple of
carloads of this wire on hand and will
use it as soon as the weather permits.
More Power to Be Furnished.
improvements are promised which
will insure the railway company all the
power it needs. The company has de-
pended much for power upon the water
plant. During cold weather this power
is diminished, but an auxiliary plant is
now being put up to overcome this de-
ficiency. The auxiliary is of LOCO horse
power, but this is to be increased to
1000 or 5000 horsepower before next
October.
Some paving is also TO be done on
West Temple to State street and up
North State street. This work is all
contracted for. Superintendent Read
expects to see a decided Improvement
in the car service in the next twelve
months, and many of the difficulties
under which the company has worked
during the past year will be removed
before another cold season has set in.

COLD WAVE is HERE
At S O'clock Yesterday Morning
the Thermometer Dropped
to 4 Above.

The coolest tempera ture that Salt
Lake has experienced this winter pre-
vailed in the city yesterday morning.
The thermometer registered 4 degrees
above zero. 1t was the lowest tempera-
ture that has been recorded here for a
number of years. The weather man
predicts that it will last for several
days. The highest temperature record
ed during the day was q degrees above
zero. The lowest temperature was
noted about O'Clock in the morning.
The cold wave that caused such low
temperature, extends over the sur
rounding states, and is much more Sc
we're there than il is here. The tenn
perature recorded yesterday morning at
Modena, in the southern part of the
state, was is degrees below zero, the
coolest weather that has been felt there
in many years. At Winnemucca, New,
the temperature was 20 degrees below,
and at Grand Junction, 4 below. At
POcatello the thermometer remained at
above, the same that it was the
morning before.
The cold wave, according to Mr..
Murdoch. will ia all probability last
until Friday before there is any per-
eeptible change in the temperature.

MINERAL LAND
is CONTESTED
Claim Made Enabling. Act Did Not
Include That Kind,
EFFECT VERY FAR REACHING
MINING COMPANY AND STATE
FIGHTING FOR A SECTION.

The right of the state, under the en-
abling act, to lay claim 20 sections OF
land upon which mineral veins have
been discovered prior to the admis-
sion of the territory into the Union,
was a question which was brought up
before the board of land commission
ers at Il special meeting held yester-
day morning in the land Office in the
joint building.
The suit also involves the right Of
the state to hold land for school pur-
poses upon which it is known that
mineral exists. The matter has never
before been brought to the attention
of the board. 1t is an assured fact
that the general land Office in Wash
ingtOn will be called upon to pass upon
the question before either the state or
the contestants viii Telinquish their re-
spectiye claims TO the land in contrO-
Versy.
Provisions of Enabling Act
Under the provisions of the enabling
act. the state was given the right to
seggregate sections ?, 16, 81 and 80
throughout the state for school pur-
poses. The revenues to be derived from
the sale, lease or rental of the sections
are TO be placed in a fund for the bene-
mt and use of the schools of the state.
Prior to the admission of the terri
tory into the Union, several mineral
veins were discovered on section 30,
township 2, south range. 1 east, situa-
ted near the mouth of the Big Cotton
wood canyon. The discoveries located
the leads according to the mixing laws
of the United States and the then ter
ritory of Utah. During the progress
of events the land in question passed
into the possession of the Consolidated
Jefferson Gold & Copper Mining COM
pany.
The state now seeks to recover the
section under the provisions of the en-
abling act. The company resists on
the ground that the section in ques-
ton was taken up before the territory
became a state; that the enabling act
cannot be retroactive, and further, that
the state cannot lay claim to the land
because it is mineral in character.
Former Rulings Were Cited.
The attorneys for the mining COM
pany cited authorities to show that in
other states the courts have held,
which decisions We're sustained by the
general land office in Washington, that
school lands, set aside by the govern
ment for the use of the states, which
Quished by the state. and other non
mineral lands selected in their stead.
1t is said that if the same decision
holds good in this state it will affect
many sections of valuable land now
held by the state for the school funds.
InaSmuch as Governor H. NJ. Wells
could not be present at the land board
meeting yesterday the case was not
concluded.
