Ogden, Feb. s.--The smelter meeting
held last evening at Plain city was not
so largely attended as had been OK
pected, only about 40 being presen,.
who were about evenly divided on the
proposition. Five speakers We're against
the building Of the smelter on the pro-
posed site just west of the Utah Hot
Springs, while four speakers are IN
favor of its being built wherever the
hackers of the project desire TO built II
AT Plain city two petitions are be-
ing circulated one OF them is signed
by 10 farmers representing approxi-
mately 5000 acres of land, are against
the movement The other petition has
not been turned IN yet At Willard only
four who were asked to sign the petit
ton against the snelter project refused
to do so, hence nc least 80 per cent of
the farmers and fruitgrowers in that

section II can be safely said are opposed
TO the smelter site. At Pleasant View
only one out OF 30 refused to sign the
petition and at North Ogden about the
same condition exists.
From this II would appear that large
majority OF the agricuturists aro op
posed to the erecting Of a large smolter
on the present site OF the Utah Smelling
company's small plant Those fatherlng
the opposition do not desire, however,
10 be misunderstood on the proposition.
They are heartily in favor OF Weber
county getting an independent smelter,
but want the mine owners to locate on
u site about n mile west of the location
Of the present smeltcr They say that
that point offers an IDEAL site with Il
barren waste Of country surrounding IL
for several miles, so that the
fumes could do no damage, and
therefore both for the smelter own
ers and the farmers II would he a
better location. as the smelter would
not damage crops and there would
be no damages to pay. The farmers
would be able to raise good crops &c
all kinds as they do now and the
products would bring Il better price.

of the affair as given TO the News"
by friends of Halverson. The state
ment of the Logan correspondent is
to the effect that no second physical
encounter took place between Messrs,
Lewis and Halverson. 1t Is admitted
that the former struck the latter ear
lier in the evening, but that before
they separated that night they settled
their difficulties and agreed to be
friends.

tied by the Logan man as making de-
NAL that any such thing occurred.
