HOPE YET FOR
COLLEGE MERGER
Agreement Is Reached, But Majority
Is Not Quite Secured.
CONCESSION MADE. LOGAN
IRRIGATION AND THE JUVENILE
COURT MEASURES PASSED.

Members of the senate sauntered into
and out of sessions internationally all
Day yesterday, being out much more
than in.
While several measures were given
final consideration most Of the time
was devoted to caucusing and confab-
ulating on a proposition to reopen the
| Agricultural college matter
Two senators expressed a Willingness
TO come over to the consolidation camp
| if the proposed constitutional amend
ment could be worded TO suit them.
The consolidation leaders showed a
| disposition to meet the others half way
and conceded several important points
including an agreement to locate the
Agricultural college permanently in
Logan. -.......-..
Two three times it looked as if
the senators would cease sauntering
and bring the matter to an issue on the
floor. but each time some man who was
necessary to the success of the scheme
would hang back and the day closed
with no action.
Terms of the Compromise.
1t is believed the question will be
reopened soon after the senate assem-
bles at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The con-
solidatiOn forces have prepared a con-
current resolution to be presented by
Senator HOllingsWorth. The resolution
proposes to amend sections and 4 of
! article 10. The new phrasing of the
proposed amendment is:
The University of Utah and the AG-
ricultural college of Utah are hereby
consolidated and made the University
| of Utah. The University of Utah shall
| include a school of arts and sciences,
an agricultural college, a school of
mines, a normal school and such other
schools a fG1 la h
| lish; provided, however, that the Agri
cultural college shall be located at LO-
/ gan City, in Cache county, but
branches may be maintained at other
places in the state"
The proposed amendment is to take
effect on Jan. l, 1907, if approved by
the people.
The new wording of the proposition
J is chiefly the work of President Love
and Senator HoIlingswolth. It is
claimed that it complies with the views
Of senators who favored consolidation
but didn't like the wording of the orig
/ inal proposition.
Judge w. H. King and Waldemar
| VanCott were called upon for an opin
| ion as to the wording of the measure
and pronounced if satisfactory

Members of the house who favor the
consolidation plan met in caucus with
the consolidation advocates of the SEN
ate at noon. Senator Barber asked 10
be admitted to the caucus but his Ee-
quest was denied. The consultations

of an hour and after they adjourned it
was announced that the consolidation
scheme would stand a good show to
win in the house If it could be put
through the senate.
