u. Before the meeting was called to
order different classes began enthu-
siastic college yells, and during the
entire meeting, which lasted one hour
and half, at frequent intervals cris
cross yells filled the room. The en-
gineers occupied the south corner, the
arts the northeast corner and the
fourth-year normals the southeast cor
ner. The songs of the normals were
a new feature and were appropriate
and we'll rendered. The enthusiasm
and yells from these classes made the
meeting the banner one of the year
for college sport.
A cornet solo, accompanied by Prof.
Coop, was rendered by Mr.. Christen-
sen of the Christensen orchestra Aft
err this Mr. Callahan, who is member
of the athletic council, gave a very
enthusiastic speech in which he
praised the football men for their
prowess and spoke of the different
victories won last fall by them. He
said he belived that the U. of U. team
equals any team in the middle-west
and wished the men success and the
team the loyal support of every stu
dent.

KILL THE FRANCHISE.


chise asked for by the Consolidated
Light and Railway company.
The sentiment of the people of this |
city is against granting any conces-
sions without getting value received. |
Truth urges the council to grant moth
| ing until it is determined, beyond
question, whether the company has
anything to offer in the way of ex-
change. This paper is not satisfied
that the concerns owns any rights at
the mouth of Big Cottonwood, beyond
| the right to divert water for power
purposes and return it to the stream
at a point adjacent to the old site
of the paper mill. The right to use
water for power purposes does not
carry with it the right to use it for ir-
rigation purposes. And a power right
would do the city no good; would be
an exchange of nothing. The farmers
who have the right to the water for
| irrigation purposes will make trouble
for the city in the near future
Neither should the franchise be
granted without forfeiture clause.
To omit inserting one means that the
company can do as it pleases and
laugh at the city government. Nor
should the maximum price for light
be omitted. 1t is already demonstrate
ed that lights can be furnished much
cheaper than they are furnished or
the concern offers to furnish. If the
Consolidated company does not want
to furnish lights for what other par
ties will let it sell out to those who
will. There ought to be protection
given the citizens who buy light. The
council should also reserve the right
to regulate street car service and the
fares to be charged. The service at
the present time is poorer than in
any city of this size in the union.
Best of all would be fiat refusal
to grant any franchise at all. The
whole business is a job in connection
with the issuing of the water bonds
Those bonds should be stopped by in
junction and the entire matter de-
clared off. Let this wild-eyed importa-
ton, Fernstrom. rage all he wants to;
the whole business is wrong. What
improvements does the power COM
pany promise in the way of light?
What improvements in the street car
service? Does it agree to put it's I'M
slightly wires underground and to take
down its poles, that disfigure the
streets and rob them of their beauty?
Does it agree to lessen the burdens
on its customers? No. 1t simply asks
something for nothing and there are
members of the council and others
who want to give it all it asks for II
is high time that this business of Civ
ing away valuable concession
stopped. Other cities have stopped
/, and Salt Lake cannot afford to refrain
Knock out the whole business. Tho
, council ought to remember that ere
the franchise asked for runs out, eac'
, and every one of them will be restir"
under the daisies and that posteritv
will curse their memories for maxine
a burden of what might be a revenue
, producing system. Kill the entire ae

at the solution of the water problem
in a sensible way; not like lot of
children, or a lot of men who have

the mayoralty nomination in the per-
son of James Devine. Mr.. Devine has
always been consistent Republican
and stands well with his party. He
has had great experience in municipal
affairs and has many warm support
ers. r. r. Black, William j. Lynch,
George N. Lawrence, John G. Lynch
and Mr.. Devine compose the list of
those already mentioned by Repub-
Leans for the mayoralty.

Ezra Thompson seems the favorite
with the Americans" for their nom
ination for the mayoralty. Mr. Thomp.
son, however, is not particularly anx-
ious to again sit in the mayors chair.
He had lots of trouble during his last
term and has no desire for a thiru
term. 1t may he, however, that he
might be persuaded to be again a
candidate. The talk is that the
Americans" will have lots of money
for their campaign and will strain
every nerve to carry the city. Frank
Swenson is well to the front for the
nomination for city treasurer.

Between the Utah Press associa-
ton and the Press Club of Salt Lake
City, there is GOODNESS. 1t happened
in this way: The former held meet
ing in the city last week. 1t was
in the rooms of the latter, in the
Bamberger block, on Main street. 1t
seems that the country fellows asked
William Igleheart, a lay member Of
the club, If they could use the rooms
for the meeting, and he very benevo-
lently consented. The association
proceeded to meet. During the meet
ing two members of the house COM
mittee went to the rooms and, noting
the meeting, retired to the billiard
room annex and began game. The
click of the balls disturbed the rural
journalists, one of whom entered the
annex and informed the players they
were disturbing the gathering.
The boys stopped playing to think
the matter over; to deliberate as to
the reasons why they could not play
billiards in their own quarters and
while they were cogitating, p. A. Simp
kin, another member of the house com
mittee, drifted in. To him they con.
fided their sad story. Peter at once
decided as the house committee had
not been consulted and had given nc
one the right to use the rooms that
the country fellows had no tangible
reason for Directing to billiards and
the three, aided and abetted by a
fourth, started a four-handed game.
President ID. p. Felt, of the Davis
County Argus, was highly indignant
and addressed his confederates in an
impassioned speech. yellow Edi
tors" he said 1T is evident that we
are not wanted here. Now | am Ger
tain that the Kenyon hotel will BE-
highly honored at having this asso
citation meet there and l suggest we
adjourn to the Kenyon and leave this
place where we seem to be in the
way"
In was then that Peter A. Simpkin
innocently added fuel to the flame al
ready burning in the breasts of the
country editors. Peter A. Simpiin put
his head through the curtains dividin2
the billiard room from the main Of
flee and sweetly remarked:
Gentlemen: You need not retire
you are welcome to stay here as long
as you wish. / assure you you are
not disturbing us in the least"

The SPIT BALL" THAT PUZZLES BALL T0SSERS
AND HOW 1T WILL BE USED THIS SEASON

San Francisco. March 19.-With the
baseball season of 1905 close upon the
fans, attention Is being directed to the
widely discussed spit ball." and con-
lecture Is rife regarding It's probable
effect upon the game. There now seems
no doubt but that the freakish deliv.
cry has come to stay, and, with its use
almost universal throughout the do.
mains Of the national game. there will
undoubtedly be many queer pranks
played with batting averages hitherto
unassailable.
Like many another good thing In and
out Of the realm Of sport, the "spit
BALI Is essentially of California de-
velopment. Sacramento, the Capital Of
this State, was the setting for its in.

Hildebrand, while In Providence In
1902. was watching an amateur going
through the motions OF pitching. Hill
debrand noticed that the ball was TAX

accordingly made inquiries Of the tyre
