MAIL CARRIERS INVITED
TO DIG UP FULL FARE
Practice of Issuing Cheap Tickets to
Postoffice Employees to Be
Discontinued Jan. /.

On and after Jan. l. 1909, the United
States mail carriers will no longer be the
favored sons of the street railway COM
pany here. but will have to dig up the reg
ular fare just as any other individual.
The Scent fare for the postman viii be
a thing of the past. and II the United
States government wants its postmen to
ride on the street cars the regular fare
must be paid. Heretofore tickets for the
use of mail carriers have been sold TO the
government at the rate OF cents each
Just why this reduction in fare was given
the postal officials is not known. but IN
two months more the regular fare must
be paid.
Superintendent r Z. Hunt of the local
street railway system said last evening
that he saw no reason why postmen
should be allowed tc ride any more cheap
" than any other person. He said:
IF the postmen are entitled to a cheap
er rate, why not the employees of big de-
partment stores and other concerns where
a large number of people are employed,
and where the regular course of business
makes necessary a great deal of street
car transportation? To give postmen
rates on the street cars and not employees
of other large companies is an injustice
Everyone should be treated alike. and
after Jan. l no more cheap tickets will
be sold to the mail carriers

WATER SUIT Is HEARD.
{. A. Wall Engaged in Litigation
Against Town of Binuham.

Water rights in Bingham canyon and
adjacent thereto are in dispute in an ac-
against the town of Bingham. The plain
tiff alleges that he is entitled TO certain
water rights in Bingham creek and Carr
Fork for milling purposes before the wa
ter reaches the inhabited part of the town
Colonel Wall wants these rights estab-
lished.
Furthermore. Colonel Wall wants 500
coo damages because of the blowing up
of dam on Carr creek with dynamite in
1906
The defendants assert that the town
is entitled to the waters in controversy
by reason of an appropriation made thirty
years ago. They also set up that the
diversion of the water by Colonel Wall
in dry weather leaves the town high and
dry" and without sufficient supply for
domestic, culinary and sanitary purposes
This condition. they assert, renders the
town extremely unhealthy al times

Ornamental Street Lighting.

Not many American cities or towns
pay attention to beautiful effects
in their street lighting. and they are
in this respect far behind foreign cit
les and towns. y superficial observer
will think that the foreign city or town
is not so well lighted in its business
districts as the American city or town.
but will not notice that this is due to
the fact that the American business
man is a lavish user of electric light
for advertising purposes. not often
with good results from the artistic
point of view. while i'm foreign cities
Il minimum OF this sort Of bill post
ing is permitted. When the private
lights are eXtinguished late at night
or on holidays the blacknesS of the
American street is felt rather than
seeH and does not compare favorably
with the well arranged lights of the
foreign city or town in attractive
groups of handsome fixtures.
