AZ Its Present Site,


The pitched battle between the sena-
torial forces fAyoring consolidation OF
the University of Utah and the Agricul-
tural college of Utah, has not yet taken
place On each preliminary muster tne
generals In command have refused TO
permit a. test of strength, and AFTER
marshalng their facts for a fight have
backed up to the trenches 10 postpone
for another day,
Hollingsworth OF Ogden seems 10
have gravitated to the position OF inter-
locutor for the end men representing
extremes OF CONSULTATION and anti con-
solication. Yesterday afternoon he
fired one shot into the battle, and eN~
eryone else took to cover. 1t was IN
the nature of an amendment TO S. Il.
Ill by Park which reduces the consoli-
dation feature TO consolidation in the
board of control, with an Agricultural
college maintained at Logan as d
branch OF the University of Utah. Im-
naediately after the amendment had
been introduced the tension in the Sch
ate became serious, as If there was fear
Of a final vote and neither side cared TO
test its strength
II now move that further considera-
ton of this bin be postponed until
Thursday at 1890 O'Clock" continued
Holiingsworth. Without the least OPP
position the motion carried. and the
senate went light heartedly on with its
work of clearing the calendar.

It was lobby composed Of hardened
men of the desert who see visions ana
tell stories of fruits and flowers that
will one day grow in Washington coun-
ty also of coa-ol beds along the Rio
Virgin, and of the new town OF Hurri-
cane springinE UP on the river. They
don't talk in the figures OF Salt Lake.
There are now a hundred families there.
They expect In FIVE years or SO 70 have
possibly 500 or 900 people.
The talk with which they won the
senators was that they could use 10000
more people. and would soon be ready
to assimilate them. I'VE have the soil,
they said I'VE have the climate. All we
need is roads. and people to come in on
them. Now then a road comes down
