Girls Discard Snowy Costumes on
Monday, Resuming Them
Later In Week.

What has become of all the white
suits the girls and women were wearing
yesterday" asked visitor in tho lobby
of a hotel yesterday afternoon. Has the
weather man predicted a Storm"
The sun was bright and warm, and the
sky was innocent of clouds. but the OBJ
server could see a dearth of the spotess
lawns and mulls and cambrics that had
delighted the eye the day before.
A mere man could not guess the answer,
so he asked his sister. The answer was
simple. and logical. 1t was because all
of the white suits were in the laundry.
A walk down Main street, or a visit to
any of the resorts showed last night that
the white suits had nearly all vanished.
In their stead drabs and grays were worn.
Many wore dark skirts with white
waists, but there was a noticeable short
age of all-white suits.
The family washings, including the
dreams in white, were bundled up Mon
day morning, and will be "out of the
game" until Wednesday. when the wash
ing is returned. Then the girls will bios
som out in white, reminding the men of
"the lilies, that toll not, neither do they
spin"

CONTRACT FINALLY SIGNED
Utah Light & Railway Company Will
Furnish Power for Ogden
Rapid Transit Lines.

After negotiations that had been car
ned on for many years, the Utah Light
d Railway company yesterday agreed up
on terms and signed a contract to fur
nlsh the power for the Ogden Rapid
Transit company's lines for a period of
seven years, commencing with the first
or the year. The agreement was reached
here yesterday after a conference be-
tween General Manager r. 8. Campbell,
cial Engineer B. w Mendenhall and
Commercial Agent E. w Wade OF the
Utah Light & Railway company, and
David Eccles. representing the Ogden
Rapid Transit company
AT different times during the last year
or two these people have met and were
upon the point of agreeing to terms. when
some hitch would come up and result
in the calling off of the negotiations.
Lately the question Of rates was the
whole point of contention, but this was
pie virtually met the terms of the street
railway company.
This agreement will mean the aban-
doning Of the Washington avenue power
house. For a long time this has been
inadequate to the demand for power to
operate the lines OF the transit company
and when the canyon line was opened UP
during the summer the demand was ali
the greater, necessitating the working of
the plant beyond its capacity Break
downs and blockades resulting from the
lack of power have been numerous. The
intention of the company to eiectrify the
Ogden & Northwestern system TO the Og-
den Hot Springs. in connection with the
construction Of the new smelter, made
the necessity for additional power all the
greater and was primarily the cause for
the reopening of the negotiations.
While the power house of the Rapid
Transit company will be abandoned in
solar as the production of power is con-
cerned, il will be retained as a trans
forming station, in which will be located
the transformers to change the currenF
from alternating to direct. The estab-
fishing of these transformers will occupy
some time. so that the contract signed
| yesterday will probably not so into eff
! feet until the first of the year.
! Representatives of the Ogden Rapid
/ Transit company met with two of the
/ county commissioners at the mouth Of
| Ogden canyon yesterday and discussed
| plans for the transit people building
| through the canyon; also as to what
concessions they might expect from the
| county in such an event.
! It is understood that the transit peo-
pie will make application to the COM
| missioners in about two weeks for a
! franchise covering the rights to construct
such a line. In connection with the cleo
| trifying of the Ogden q Northwestern
| line plans are under consideration for the
| extension of that road through to Brig
| ham City at an early date. The con-
tract signed with the Utah Light e. Rail
way company was made with these two
| extensions in view.

has cropped out here in connection with

County Clerk David Mattson has con
scented TO act as manager for Farley p.
Christensen in Weber county in the fight
against Congressman Joseph Howell.
When Christensen was in Ogden Satur-
day he was closeted for several hours
with Mr.. Mattson and the ground was
carefully gone over. The fact that Mr..
Mattson will assist the opposition to Mr..
Howell faction in the present county
clerks selection. 1t is also rumored that
the reward for the services rendered by
Mr. Mattson is to be his appointment as
