The Federal Ely company starts out
upon its career with a number of un-
usual and interesting features, one be-

other being the incipient war that was
stirred up some time ago regarding the
ownership of the property, 1t will be
recalled, perhaps, that 4. j. Evans and
w. j. Craig, both of Salt Lake. and rep
reseutlng numerous local investment in
terests, had call upon the Federal Ely
ground, and both left for Ely at the
same time, one to take possession and
the other to keep possession of the prop
erty.
Fortunately and wisely, however, all
differences were amicably adjusted, the
two coutending forces combined their
issues and interests and the Federal or

SALTA|R OPTION
IS ABANDONED
Electric Operating Company
Will Not Take Up Its
$4,000 Bargain.
NEW COMPANY WILL NOT
BUILD TO GARFIELD
Hartman Appears to Have
Beat His Competitors at
Every Stage.

The Electric Operating Construction
company did not take up the $4T5,o00
option which it held on the Saltair
properties and which expired last night,
nor will it take 1t up; nor will the
company build an interurban line TO
Garfield, as at first proposed. This in.
formation was given out at the general
Offices of the company on Monday The
advent of f. II. Hartman into the 10.
cal ipterurban field hns evidently upset
all the calculations of the electric COM
pany, and it has evidently abandoned
part of its project. On the other hand
engineers of-the Hartman system have
completed a survey from Twelfth South
to Garfield and an entrance has been
obtained into the town over the right
of way held by the Garfield Improve
road man has evidently beat his COM
petitors to it, to use street phrase.
In addition, the Hartman people are
reported 10 have secured an option on
the West Side Rapid Transit COM
pany's right of way, so they seem 10
have successfully blocked opposition
While there is nothing authoritative, 1t
is highly possible that the Hartman
line may be continued on TO the Great
Salt Lake and new resort established
there.
In the meantime, the Electric Oper-
nting company holds options on the
property in the rear of the Cullen 10"
tel for terminal purposes; also on prop
erty on Pierpopt street; on the San
pete Valley road, and on coal lands
further west. and whether these will be
taken up remains be seen The COM
pany has laid some track on Eighth
West and across the line into the coun-
ty simply TO fulfill the covenant of the
franchise ard thus hold it, but no Sc
rious construction work has been un'
dertaken.
r, S, Mason. general manager of the
company, stated that they still had the
general interurban field here, but in
the meantime there was n cessation of
active operations. The coming of Har
riman and the failure 10 comnlete the
Garfield negotiations had upset plans
and the company desired to somewhat
reorganize its affairs before proceeding
further, He did not intimate that
work had been abandoned. but tho
