Eleven months ago the first pile was
driven for the new plant and yesterday
the first wheel turned, the first furnace
was fired up and the first cubic foot of
gas to be manufactured was turned into
the mammoth storage tank. At 3 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon 1890 cubic feet of
gas had been manufactured and the uD-
per hood of the telescoped tank was ris-
ing slightly in the embrace of the great
steel skeleton that stretches a hundred
feet sl1yward.
To one who doesn't know aces about
a gas plant this big reserve tank is I'M

great mass of steel is forced upward I'M

The foreman at the plant of the Utah
Gas & Coke company yesterday said that
it would unquestiOnaby be fifty years or
more before any man will see the in
terror of the new tank there.
Yesterday morning hot air was pumped
into the tank until, like a balloon, it rose
to the top of the confirming steel skele-

A Little Irish Wit.

1t is almost invariably the case
that a leg slative body has it's hum
orist. In the Watertown city council,
Russell is sit" At the meeting Tues
day evening, the feasibility of intro
ducing an ordinance was under
discussion. One of the aldermen
arguing against the measure, said it
would probably meet the same fate OF
similar ordinance introduced before
previous council. He added: cit
was introduced before and was
referred to the judiciary committee
and died with the chairman. Alder
man Russell, turning his head with
olt cracking smile, asked meekIy
lis he dead?'' The Joke was
grasped by some without a diagram.
Russell is not in the habit OF particip-
atlng at great length in the debates
of the council, but when ne does say
something, it counts with a good
tinge of Irish wit.

some of WATERFOWL s prominent fisher

were told that they were caught above

course, our fishermen good naturedly
believed it and at once got ready to
go fishing. The were notified however
in time that the fish were caught in a

that the new schedule of rates will

however, that the railroads do not
mean to contest the law. In formal

From this statement it is inferred
that the roads will contest the law in

cursion and reduced rates will be dis

WATCH LEADER FOR
CHANGE IN VOTES
STANDING OF CONTESTANTS
ANNOUNCED SUNDAY.
The Question is, Who Will Head
List Sunddy?-Many Striving
For the Capital Prize. a $500
Pidno-Eighteen OtherValuable
Prizes To Be Given Away.

When next Sundays Leader is is
sued with the names of the contestants
and the number of votes, goodly
number of changes will be noticed
There were quite few of the con
testants with an equal number of votes
In last Sundays paper and nearly
every one is now trying to move up a
few notches. The interest shown in
the $3.50 contest is continually growing.
Contestants are beginning to realize
the value of the many handsome
prizes, which are to be distributed
absolutely free to the nineteen highest
contestants. With but a little effort,
you cannot help winning prize. A
few subscribers will increase your
standing considerably. For Sunday,
The Leader will make a special offer.
A five vote coupon will be issued
with next Sundays Leader and all
contestants should try and obtain as
many of these coupons as possible,
as they will count in the race This
offer will only be for one day and the
opportunity should be taken advan-
tage Of. A few votes may win one
of the valuable prizes for you at the
end.
The nineteen prizes offered are
exceptionally liberal and far surprass
anything ever offered by newspaper
in this part of the state. The first
grand or capital prize is $500 Price
and Teeple piano and will be present
ed to the lady receiving the highest
number of votes IN the contest. The
other prizes, the two excellent scholar
ships, sewing machine, photograph,
$40 rug and many more, will be DIS
tributed among the other contestants
ranking highest. The piano will be
on exhibition within a few days at
one Of the local stores and may be
examined by any one.
Now any young lady may win this
capital prize. 1t is simply impossible
to even hazard guess as what the
outcome will be, as the record now
does not by any means necessarily
indicate future standing and su ccess
in winning. Any candidate in the race
can do as we'll as the young ladies
now heading the list if they only
think SO. 1t is also good idea to
be in the lead so that the people can
see who are the ones to vote for
Subscribers who come into the office
and have no particular friend in the
contest usually vote for one of the
leaders. Thus it may be seen that
being in the lead counts for a great
deal.
