WORK IS GREATLY DELAYED
Hartman System Finding Difficulty
in Securing Material for
Ogden Improvements

The bids for the parking of the union
depot grounds from Twenty fourth to
Twenty-sixth street are now in the hands
or General Superintendent +. Buckingham
at Salt Lake and the award will prob
ably be made directly after the return of
that official from the north. There are
about ten bidders for this work, which
will be taken up as soon as the contract
has been awarded. The railroad officials
nave ordered twenty cars of gravel to be
sent to Ogden, which will be used for the
walks and dr1VeWayS. When completed
the beautifying of these grounds being
done at the request of the Ogden Civic
improvement league, will cost the rail-
road company approximately $1,000.
The other improvements being made by
the Hartman system is being somewhat
delayed on account of the inability of the
company to secure sufficient material and
help. Much of the work has been started
and 1t is likely that One-half of the ap-
preparation Will be expended this year.
Within short time the hauling of gravel
from the new cutoff across the Sand
ridge, to be used for the purpose of filling

menced4 As soon as the trackage is down
In the passenger yards the work of con-
structing the umbrella sheds will be ia
ken up, although some difficulty has been
experienced III placing the contract for
the material for the sheds The scarcity
OF lumber has also affected the improve
ments 10 great degree. The remodeling
or the union depot is practically at a
standstlll on this account The famine in
the brick market is another factor fig
uring in the delay to this work AS one
official declared yesterday, 1T is not a
question of money but lack of ma
teriai. The depot improvements will cost
IN the aggregate about $4,000 The new
freight depot, upon which the work has
not yet been started, will be on the order
or the one now building in Salt Lake, ex-
ceptlng that the office building will be
considerably larger, the office force at
this point being greater than that en-
ployed in Salt Lake. The Hartman Of
ficials state that the improvements as
planned will all be made The time in
which they will be completed will large

do the work

CATHEDRAL FOR BROOKLY YIN.
The Project Cherished for More Than
Half Century Is Now Assured.
New York World

On the top of Crow hill in Prospect
park section of Brooklyn, now occupied
by the buildings of Kings county peni-
tertiary, will be reared at a cost Of So
0OO, 900 a stately Catholic cathedral, fol-
lowing in its architecture the beauty
and grace of Notre Dame de Rouen,
one Of the most celebrated cathedrals
in France. Work will be under way
next spring.
The Right Rev. Charles E. McDon-
nell. bishop of Brooklyn, is the pur-
chaser. He was compelled to pay high
prices for the property. The total for
the penitentiary site and for contiguous
lots constituting the entire city block
was $251, 175.
The Vanderbilt avenue site, pur-
chased forty years ago, and on which
the foundation for the Catholic cathe-
dral was laid, will. it is said, be sold TO
the JeSuits for college site.
When Bishop Mcdonnell believed that
the time had arrived to give to Brook
lyn a cathedral, he planned to rear the
handsomest structure in Greater New
York. With this end in view, the bish-
op and Manager John 1. Barrett in
spected the famous churches of Europe
during a recent trip abroad. Impressed
with the beauty of Notre Dame de
Rouen, they agreed that Brooklyn
should have a cathedral as near like
1t as possible Returning home, Bishop
Mcdonnell had plans drawn on the line
of Rouen's celebrated church.
Notre Dame de ROuen was begun
about the year 1900. but was not COM
pleted until the sixteenth century. Ii
is in plan a Latin cross with aisles sur
rounding it completely, and giving &C
cess to the three great chapels OF the
choir. Striking features are great
central doorway. a rose window and
numerous arcades and Gothic pinnacles
and turrets.
The Catholic population of Brooklyn
ic now estimated at 500 GOO.

The new contract of attending to the
city scavenger work will be begun on the
1St. Mr.. Heenan the successful bidder
will put on two teams at that time and
from then on it is expected that the work
win be done cheaper than formerly.
About forty citizens of Park City who
attended the excursion to Salt Lake yes

the morning train was taxed to its limit.

New York Still Country Town.
(New York Evening Post.)

New York hasn't lost all semblance
of a country town. In the first three
months of 1906 no less than 23,521 dead
animals were found in the streets. be-
sides 1854 stray cats and dogs that
were taken to the public pounds and
there done to death. That dead horses,
COWS, cats and dogs should so litter the
streets is perhaps not so remarkable,
but it is just little surprising that
the list should also include pigs (24),
goats (31) and sheep (51), which argues
that the city must still have some Of
the aspects of a rural community. Ii
is perhaps germane to the subject &c

BOLD BANDITS
INVADE OGDEN
{ Two Citizens Held Up Last
Evening on One of the
Main ThoroughfareS.
HANDS UP OR DOWN AT WILL
VICTIMS WERE AFRAID TO
SQUEAL.

One of the most daring hold-ups that
ever occurred in Ogden happened last
evening shortly after 10 o'clock, when
three men were held up and robbed near
the tabernacle by two highwaymen. At
ter their valuables were taken the three
men were forced to retreat with a warn
ing that they should not be too hasty in
notifying the police.
l.. Sanders and Ernest LindQuist were
walking south on Washington avenue
When the two robbers stepped forth and
before they realized what was up, two
reVolvers were showed in their faces with
she command that they throw up their
hands. The order was Obeyed without
hesitation, after which the two men were
ordered to walk north in advance OF the
robbers toward Twenty-first street. After
going but short distance r. +. Parker
came along and he was forced to join
Sanders and Lindquist with his hands in
the air.
Under Good Control.
Before they reached Twenty-first street,
several men came along and while pass
ing this party the trio were forced to pat
their hands down and march by in ST.
lence. While one of the robbers re-
manned behind, covering the three with
his gun, the other searched their pockets
and relieved Lind9uist Of a $50 watch.
1t so happened that none of the men
had any money on their persons and the
highwaymen did not hesitate TO
express their disappointment. They

walk back the way they had come, after
which the two robbers fled across lots
IN the direction of the railroad yards.
- Long and Short Man.
From description the police are able
to secure, one was tall and the other
a short man. Dark handkerchiefs were
used to conceal their faces. From the
manner in which the robbery was COM
mitted and the meager description secured
il is believed the robbers are the same
who have been operating in Salt Lake
and are professionals at the business.

to view the matter In that light. The
battle of Stone River had ended Jan. 3.
For six months thereafter the Army of
the Cumberland had done little more
than fortify and engage in some trifiing
outpost affairs. In the meanwhile the
Army of the Potomac, recovering from
the bloody defeat at Fredericksburg,
had fought another great battle at
Charlottesville. On the right flank the
Army of the Tennessee, after its repulse
at Chickasaw Bayou, had pushed on
down to Vicksburg. 1t had filled the
Winter months with earnest efforts to
make lodgment on the high lands in
the rear Of Vicksburg, and following
these had swung around below the city

hold, while Rosecrans would not move

According to the returns Of the De-

month Of March, 1868, the army had a
