Dropped his head with q sigh.
And gloom filled that beautiful day
The love-llght of his life,
The mate from her nest.
Had been rnthlessly
Taken away.
And the boy, with the gun.
Trudged on DER the hill,
Without thought Of tn lives he hnd
crushed,
Seeking further for victil-
To show bis gun-skill,
Caring naught Tor tn voices

In sunshine SO bright:
For near sat his mate In nest.
And he fed her by day
And watched her by night.

It is said Hat the water main is leaking badly ft th.s point, and the water and light cGmpany recently made some eXcava- tens in order to lower tn pipe which rendered the street still more impass- able. The city council ordered this piece repaired long ago, and still an- ether order is said to have been sub sequently issued; but nothing has been done toward improving condi- ticns. The Lakeside c'tizens say they are taxpayers and entitled to some recognition from the city authorities. and it is probable that the next ses- sion of the council will witness some lively times unless the place Is re paired at once There is talk of court proceedings.

Street RAILWAY STRATEGY
Bamberger People and Rapid Transit
Company AL Satisfied With the
Situation in Ogden

The struggle for the rightsto use GER
tain streets between the Ogden Rapid
Transit company and the Salt Lake and
Ogden Railroad has resolved itself into
rather difficult problem. which may be
fought out in the courts. Just week
ago the Bambergsr interests surprised
the local traction people by laying a
double track over Lincoln. avenue from
Twenty-fifth 10 Thirty-ti1ird street, a
right granted them in a fifty-year fran
chise by the Ogden city council. At the
time this was done il was known thatth
Eccles interests had laid plans to occupy
the thoroughfare. Friday the EccleS
people, acting under the blanket con-
tract which they hold. laid an additional
track Twenty-fifth street between
Lincoln and Grant avenues on the pro-
posed route Of the Sale Lake & Ogden
railway through ogden. This block is
necessary for the Bamberger line TO get
pose to run on the way to Ogden can
yon. The local people believe they made
a master stroke in Occupying Twenty
firth street, but this idea is laughed at
by those interested in the other road.
They hold that they can go into the
courts and condemn the tracks of the
Rapid Transit people. The Bamberger
people point TO the fact that in order to
avoid expense the Rapid Transit COM
pany took their second track from that
street when the asphal paving was laid.
The taxes paid by the abUtting property
holders for this work. il is now claimed,
will have to be refunded by the street
