No report was received yesterday by Mayor 1eague from City Attorney Me- Intyre in response to his recent re- quest for an opinion as to the time the separate street car ordinance will go into effect. MT. Mcintyre said that he would probably render an opinion on the matter Monday or Tuesday.
 It has been expected that a settle, ment would be reached within the past day or two with the bondsmen of R. H. Sommerville. formerly City Treas urer, but the arrangement entered into has not yet been carried out The sum of $8.500 was secured through the bankruptcy court, and the City Coun- ell recently authorized the settlement of the balance of the claim for $3,5OO. The settlement will probably be ef- fected in a day or two.
 The regular annual examination of the books and accounts of the Clerk of the Board of Revenue Is being con ducted by Judge John Purifoy. lie was authorized by the board at it's last meeting to inspect the books of the clerk and he expects to complete the work in a few days. Judge Puri- foy may later examine the books of other County officials.

wan,on Destruction Of Fish.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Steamboat Springs Saturday says:
Some miscreant last night attempted
to kill al, the young fish in the Steam
boat Springs fish hatchery by shutting
of the water which supplied the build.
ing at the head Of Soda creek, and but
for the fortunate discovery by Superin-
tendent Brickel at O'Clock this morn
ing that the water was not flowing in
the trough. all Of the half million young
trout would have been dead in a short
time. 1t was only by most strenuous
work on the part of Mr.. Brickel's fam.
ily that enough fresh water was kept
in the trough to preserve the life in
the fish and this was supplied by buck
cts from a ditch at some little distance
from the hatchery. Early this morn
ing II was thought every fish that had
been Matched this year would die. but
this evening the superintendent has
hope OF saving considerably more than
half Of those which have attained
growth of one inch or more, but all
of the late Matching are dead and the
loss may reach 1000 Of both rainbow
and native trout.

wor,d.. Cotton Consumption.

The consumption of cotton from
1898 TO 1898 averaged only 100000
bales annually in the whole world. but
from 1898 to 1908 the average was TO-
ssi.146 bales annually, and the aver
age price was three cents per pound
greater than for the previous period.
II the consumption increases at tho
same ratio during the next hvc year
period the average will be nearly H.
Ooo. 900 bales annually. and the prices
will be much higher than In the pro
vious period. This indicates a pros.
porous future for the cotton producer
and manufacturer. as well as for the
export trade.

to Jail because they would not testify

Gas and Electric Company.
Judge Peter l.. Palmer took turisdic-
ton In q hnbcas corpus proceeding
and ordered the shcriff TO produce the
prisoners in court September llth. and
show why he held them. Meanwhile he
released them from custody on bond
Of 1000 in each case.
Judge John I. Mullins, who at pres.
ent prcsides in the criminal branch Of
the district Court. held that under the
rule Of the District Court the writs are
returnable in the Criminal Court and
set aside the order admitting the pris-
oners to bail. This makes them liable
to rcincarccration at once on the orig
inal commitments to Jail made out by
Judge Lindsey. The sheriff was In.
structed to apprchend them immcdi'
ately and take them back TO jail. SO
far they have not been found.
Besides the search for the four per
sons By the sheriff on the order for
their Incarceration issued by Judge
Mullins, officers have new subpoenas to

Il was slow to believe that trouble

REGISTRATION FOR
STATE UNIVERSITY
Greatest Attendance in History
of Institution Is
Promised.
EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS
MADE FOR THE OPENING
Important Improvements Made
Since the Close of
School.

Tommorow the doors Of the Univer-
sity of Utah will be thrown open 10 the
students for registration In antlclpa-
tion Of greater attendance than the
school has ever had before, the build
ings have been altered to secure the
most room possible, and the whole place
both inside and outside has been sub
jected TO a most thorough cleaning.
All the buildings have been more or
less cleaned and altered. In the depart
ment Of chemistry the capacity Of the
sophomore laboratory has been doubled
and the desks have been covered with
quarter-inch coating of asbestoa to
protect the desk from the intense heat
that Is always reflected from the appa-
ratus used. All the rooms have been
numbered in metal numbers instead Of
the old paper strips that were formerly
placed on some of the doors. The black
boards have been given "A good coat Of
paint, most of the walls in the build
ings have been recalcimined and the
rooms all present an appearance Of
readiness for work,
Installing Telephones.
A system of telephones is being in
stalled throughout the grounds. Each
professor s Office will be connected with
central switchboard. Two telephones
will be placed in the gymnasium. In
ease any one is wanted in any of the
buildings it will be no trouble TO locate
and get into immediate communication
with them.
New equipment has been added to the
department of mechanics. A large 300,~
000-pound Olsen testing machine for
making tests of tension, compression
and transverse test of beams has been
added to the equipment. There is also
a M fn
testing the lubricating power of differ
ent oils under all imaginable conditions,
Other small pieces of apparatus for max
ing similar tests have also been in
stalled.
In the shops new planning machine
is being expected daily. 1t will be in
stalled as soon as it arrives and will be
ready for the use of the students.
Building New Machine.
A new machine for grinding rock
slides for microscopic work will be q
desirable and excellent addition to the
department of geology. This machine
is being built from castings made by
students in the foundry,
The position vacated by Prof Will
son, as head of the department of sur
veying, will in all probability not be
filled by new man, Prof, Lyman will
look after this work. Prof Marshall is
back from a two-years stay at Harv-
ard. He will be at the head of the de-
partment of English and literature
Outside Of the buildings there has
been great improvement. The ex-
penditure of few thousand dollars has
added greatly to the whole appearance
of the place. The center about which
all the buildings are set has been plant
ed with turf. Leading off to the build
ings and to the main entrance of the
grounds are also green strips of this
turf. The two walks that adjoin the
roadway are double lined with green
naples; birches and willows, Almost
all the trees that were planted last
Arbor day are growing.
