took the place of lot of trouble
some correspondence, and made 1t
seem very homelike where they
were. They took a great interest In
the piano contest, and remarked the
great increase in the news service
since we opened our school Of jour
nalism. They recommend that young
folks going away to school have the
home paper follow them to keep
them in touch with home and to take
away that loneliness that comes to
students in their rooms.

The new Jason Lee memorial win

a red letter day with the Methodist
denomination, that should be hearth
ly endorsed by all the people of this
section.

SWIMDLE is ATTEMPTED.

One of the smoothest swindles ever at
tempted in this city has been nipped in
the bud and a strong effort is being
made by the police to locate a man, said
to be X. M. Harrison. TO bring him here
on a charge of obtaining goods under
false pretenses.
Some days ago Harrison wrote a letter
from Winnemucca, New, to the wholesale
firm of John Scowcroft & Sons of this
city, stating that he was about to open
store at that place and ordering a bill
of goods amounting to $500. On the
strength of the references the goods were
shipped to Winnemucca. Harrison is said
to have taken the goods from the freight
depot and Immediately re-shipped them,
together with other articles which he
packed into trunks to Salt Lake City
The trunks were shipped as excess bag
gage.
1t is claimed that in Salt Lake he at
tempted to pawn the goods to a second
hand dealer. but before he could accom-
piish his purpose he evidently became
aware that the authorities were on his
trail and disappeared. The goods Were
confiscated by the police and returned
to the Scowcroft company.

ORDER NEW CARS
!. BY THE THOUSAND
Ten Million Dollars Will Be Ex-
pended on Rolling Stock
for Gould Lines.

One of the results of the announced
agreement between Hartman and
Gould has been the ordering OF 10000
steel freight and passenger coaches,
which will cost about 100000 900, This
order, it is said, has been placed with
the Pressed Steel Car company, Pitts
burg. The cars, when completed, are
to be distributed among the various
lines of the Gould system.
The rolling stock of the Gould lines
has needed attention for some time.
Reports from the east say that when
E. H Hartman looked over the in
ventory of rolling stock of the Gould
lines at the time the agreement was
made to lend financial assistance to
George j. Gould, he remarked that ii
would take s10,0O0.000 to put the roll
ing stock alone in proper condition.
The 10000 cars are to be delivered in
installments of several hundred cars
at time. When all are in use by the
Gould lines. they will be among the
best equipped in the country.
1t is understood that the order in
cludes hundreds of passenger and chair
cars which are to be the longest now
in use anywhere i'm the country, to be
constructed of solid seam trusses and
will be practically wreck proof. Deliv-
cry of the new coaches will be made
as they are completed, and local rail
road men are awaiting the arrival of
the first installment here with con-
siderable interest, as it is claimed that
| they will embody several new features.
Reports from New York yesterday
were that Hartman is about to spend
Sc, 900, 900 or $1,000, 900 for 5000 cars for
his own lines.

HAS REAL ESTATE SCHEME.
David Eccles Plans to Make City
Block Valuable.

David Eccles is credited with s20O,00C
real estate project. The plan as given is
to cut up a city block into 100 or more res
idence lots. The location said to have
been selected is between Twenty-fifth
and Twenty-siXth streets and Jackson and
Van Buren, avenues, and was formerly
used as golf links.
The plan is said to be to cut the entire
block up into four sections with two
streets running directly through the CEN
ter in opposite directions. At present a
force of men y engaged doing cement
and concrete work and putting in curbing
and guttering through and around the
block. 1t is the intention to park the cen
ter of the block. In connection with the
sale of the lots. it is said a stipulation
will be made that the minimum cost of
residences built shall be 50, 900, possibly
$4,000. II is expected that at least twenty
five new homes will be erected on the
property within year.
Mr.. Eccles was out of the city yester-
day, so that his personal plans regarding
the matter could not be learned.
