start in the first of the year by decreas-
ing the water rentals, but in a little
while il is asserted that the city's own
ership of the system will mean one OF
two things. either lower water rates or
reduced taxes. The rates now in effect
will be temporarily in effect under the
city mana cement. as il viii take some
time for the city to regulate prices.
Another point brought out in connec-
ton with the transaction is the fact that
the Ogden Waterworks company. or rath-
er the interests controlling it, are. with
the exception of the railroads. the heavi-
est taxpayers in the city. consequently
the taxation for purchasing the system
will fall heavier upon them than any
others. In other words. it is a case of
taxing these interests for the purchase
of their own plant for the city.
1t is the purpose of those playing
prominent part in the transaction ito in
troduce a bill in the next legislature pro-
vidng for the creation of water board
of five persons to serve without pay
This is according to the New Hampshire
idea. and by aDpo nting one member oil

office men experienced in the handling
of the concern, thus assuring proper
management.
An interesting point in connection with
the deal now on between the city and the
waterworks people is the fact that poll
ties had no part in the matter. There
was absolute harmony all the way
through. political feeling being laid aside

ficials working together for the best in

CATROW'S WITHDRAWAL MARKS END
OF BITTER POLITICAL FIGHT In OHIO

Colonel III. G. Catrow's resignation as
the Republican candidate for congress
from the Third Ohio district on account
of fatally injuring Eugene Sullivan. a
negro. whom he ran over in his auto
mobile, marks the end of one of the most
bitter political battles known to the po-
litical history of Ohio.
Colonel Catrows opponent for the Re
publican nomination was John Eugene
Harding, the present representative from
the Third district and d staunch Foraker
partisan. Colonel Catrow was the TAN
candidate and the campaign was most
bitterly fought on both sides. At the
Eaton convention both Harding and Colo
mel CatroW were nominated. and both
claimed the victory. The matter was
taken before the election board at the
Chicago convention for settlement. and
the decision was awarded to Colonel Ca
trow. The matter occasiOned much bit
ter feeling and charges were freely made
that Colonel Catrow had promised to
contribute $4,000 to the Republican cam
paisn fund if the nomination were given
TO him. The attitude of the colored vote
in Ohio undoubtedly had much to do with
Colonel Catrow's resignation. In his let
ter of withdrawal to the congressional
committee Colonel Catrow says:
Il am fully aware of the prejudice of
the people against the driver of an au-

The congressional committee will meet
during the coming week to name a sue
cessor to Colonel Catrow.
Henry Catrow of 43 South Sixth East
street Indignantly denies the rumors that

contribute 10000 to the Republican cam

Colonel CatrOW is well known in Salt

Happy.

Every one of the 203 youngsters who
went to the Lagoon yesterday in charge
of Miss Nora Gleason as the guests of

of repletion as they left the banquet
which had been spread for them. All the

COON. where they passed day which
they will remember all their lives.
Through the kindness of Senator Simon
Bamberger the children were given rides
on the lake and on the roller coaster,
and all who wished attended the bali
game between the Ogden and Salt Lake
Knights.
There was a large attendance of
knights of Columbus from Bingham,
Park City, Eureka and Ogden. The CHIEF
addresses of the day were made by Dean
Harris and by Judge Maginnis of Ogden.

Il, via New Orleans, July 21.-It now de-
velops that the delay in moving troops to
suppress the uprisings at different point
in Honduras was due to the fact that
the treasury of the government was alb
solutely empty. The soldiers refused to
march unt1 money and provisions were
furnished them. and in these desperat tie
straits the government was forced to dis
pose of its most valuable piece of prop
erty, namely, the Honduras lnter-Oceanic
railroad.
W. s. Valentine had the railroad ~n-
der lease for number of years under
a contract to extend it from ocean to

by prominent New York capitalists. When
the contract was not fulfilled. the prop
erty was turned over to the government
