A GOOD ORDINANCE.

The most careful consideration OF
kne agreement between the city and
the light and railway company con-
nrrns the belief that IL is an advant-
ageo1ls arrangement for the, city and
does no serious injustice to the COM
1any- 1t may be true, as the company
affirms. that the reduction of street
railway fares will result in a serious
loss OF revenue. but this will be for a
comparatively short time and must
eventually bring an increase OF traffic
mat VIII reeoup the company for any
immediate falling off in receipts. In
addition it ought to build up traffic
from the families that will be able to
have their own homes IN remote parts
of the city and be of great immediate
benefit to the thousands Of wage work
ers who viii save money on street car
rides.
The reduction OF lighting charges
likewise may bring loss TO the company
at first, but it will also encourage the
use Of electricity for light and in the
long run extend the business OF the
company and increase its earnings.
The great benefit, however, and the
one which means most to every in
habitant of the city, is the promise of
Immediate and rapid construction of
the work that IS to bring Big Cotton
~ood water into the city mains. When
ahis is accomplished every property
owner ought to feel recompensed for
the delay, the pickering and other an
noyances that have accompanied the
effort to settle the water problem Tor
Salt Lake City.
Objections to any settlement OF the
question may be expected from those
who have axes to grind, political or
otherwise; but the average citizen will
be glad to have the whole subject taken
out of the realm OF partisan politics and
pt into concrete form in the shape of
the finest city water supply in America,
with the incidental and important ad-
Fantages of reduced street railway
fares, lower electric fight charges and
modern municipality. The franchise
ordinance in its present form ought to
be adopted by the council without de-
lay.

PROSPEROUS FARMERS.

If the agricultural states are not
prosperous this year it Will not be be
cause the Lord has failed to do His part
by them. All reports indicate that the
staple crops are record breakers. In
Nebraska it is stated that as much
heat will be grown on one acre this
year as was ever before raised on two
acres. The same statement is true Of
other crops. And Nebraska by no
means stands alone. In the Dakotas.
in Minnesota and Iowa and Kansas and
other great communicating where the
agricultural industry is the chief
source Of prosperity. the fields are
yielding abundantIy.
There is no longer any guess work
The crops are made. Much OF the
wheat has been harvested. most Of the
corn has been laid by" The oats were
gathered long since and the potatoes
are being dug. What this means to
the states interested and TO the coun-
try at large may be told in figures Ex-
perts tell us that the corn crop will be
worth 81 500. 900, the wheat crop Ss13.-
100000. the hay crop $3.50. DOC. 900: the
oats 1900 100000 and the potatoes $50
100000. Here we have "A total OF nearly
1920. 600. 000 for only Eve crops.
Doesn't il look like a farmers year?

selves and enough for a large part OF

farmer. He can we'll afford an atmos-
phere OF contentment.
There is an old saying that, when
the farmer is prosperous the nation is
prosperous. This is true to a large ex-
tent. The farmer is the real producer.
Without him the wheels Of industry
could not revolve, without him the
empty stomachs could not be filed. the
naked backs clothed. the bare feet shod.
The money he gets for his products Is
disseminated Immediately in the chan
nels of trade and sooner or later every
one benefits, directly or indirectly,
through it.
SO let the farmer get into the pluto
crat class just as promptly as he can.

We have the greatest respect for
'Aqua's" opinions. but we cannot agree
with his theories or his conclusions in
this instance. 1t is quite true, as he
says, that there are citizens who pay
no attention whatever TO the water
regulations. They allow water to run
on their lawns both in and out of
hours; they should be punished. And
we venture TO suggest that if Aqua"
would file a complaint against them
with the proper authorities they would

our correspondent is undoubtedly
aware of the fact that many people pay
no attention 10 the laws against lar
ceny, burglary, highway robbery and
other Offenses. However nobody is
seriously suggesting the repeal of
those laws. TIE fact that there are
Niolators of the sprinkling regulations
is by no means an Indication that the
regulations are bad and that conse-
quently they should be abrogated. The
regulations are good.
They are good because reputable cjti-
zens. and we are optimistic enough 10
believe that a great majority of the
people of Salt Lake may properly be
included in the description, VIII obey
them and so bring about a fair andl
reasonable division of the water. Ger
tainly if everybody tried to use all the
water he could use the supply would
soon run so low that everybody would
suffer
1t is pity that there is not enough
water TO give all citizens, not only all
they need, but all they think they
need. AS there isn't. We must. as good
citizens, submit without complaining
to the regulations imposed by the duly
constituted officials.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 6.-Tele-

duration extending from Georgia over
into Texas and as far north as the
Ohio River. Atlanta, Ga, which,

dred and fifty telegraph wires was
entirely cut off for time today.
Telephone wires were also unwork-
able and railroads, deprived of their
usual method of transmitting train
orders by their own wires. were
forced to use other methods
The telegraph companies have
many men at work in the sleet-swept
territory. but it will be several days
before the wires are restored. Chat
tanooga reported by train that 500
telegraph poles were fiat on the
ground near Atlanta. Macon in
central Georgia, was unable for
hours to communicate with neighbour
ing towns. The only part of Georgia
reached by wire was Columbus, in the
southwestern corner of the State, and
Columbus reported that no commune
cation had been had with Atlanta or
Macon for two days.
New Orleans also was affected, only
two wires working TO that city.
Many telegraph poles are reported to
have fallen i'm Mississippi.
The commercial telegraph COM
panies, owing to impaired facilities,
were forced to route kilograms origin
ally intended between cities only a
short distance over a territory cover
ing thousands of miles and involving
much delay.
Many Southern cities report the
rripplng of street car and 1ghung
