1907. and 1t has continued to give ex-
cellent service ever since
During the past year tho company
has added five miles of distributing
lines to it's system; so new customers
have been connected. but with the ad-
dition of customers a decrease of
revenue has been encountered. This
is principally due to the introduction
of the new tungsten lamp In the resi-
dences of the people, This lamp has
cut down the consumption of current,
until the generators are not carrying
more than one-half of their capacity.
On account of small copper in some
districts, and great distance from
transformers, some of the customers
have conceived the notion because OF
dim lights in those sections that the
company is at the end OF its resources
for current. but this is not in any
sense true. The present generating
equipment is capable of furnishing
twice as much power as Is needed.
Manager Brown has made a brave
fight with his plant against opposition
which would have daunted a less ten
acious men. The company Is giving
a better service than the average plant
and customers generally are satisfied.
RICHFIELD'S PROSPEROUS BANK.

FOR UNITED EFFORT.
John S, Lewis stated that his inter-
ests had been in the city for many
years and that Ogden was a good, clean
city. Business has seldom been better
than during the past year. and the
prospects for the future arc very bright,
A united effort on the part of every
citizen will bring great benefit to the
entire community,
George j. Kelly felt that many ogden
people did not realize the splendid field
for conservative investment which Og-
den real estate offers. There are many
people In this city who have sent their
investment capital into foreign local
tiles and states, believing implicitly in
the figures shown by the boosters of
those localities, whom the same amount
put into real estate In Ogden and tho
adjacent farming districts would return
larger profits, Thousands of dollars havo
been put In mining stocks and other
Investments of a speculative nature
which would have returned largo profits
If invested In local real estate. Every
dollar kept in ogden helps to build up
the city. and II every citizen has faith
in the city's future, nothing can stop
the onward growth and development Of

Right now is a good
time to study plans
and get the best ideas
and latest develop
ments in different
classes of building.
If you are expect
ing to build within a
year you ought to get
into communication
with us now. Do not
spend a dollar until
you write us, for our
methods of doing
work throughout the
country are uneXcell-
ed. Upon request we
will be glad to fur
nish you with a de-
tailed description of
our own work and de-
monstrate by actual
figures how we can
save you money and
also give you better
results on any kind
Of a building.
We have designers In our
drafting rooms capable of ex-
ecuting the most modern and
up to date styles in bunga-
lows, country or city resi-
dences, churches, office build
ings and apartment houses,
etc.
Modern homes are one of
our speclalties and we would
be more than pleased to
have you call in and see
some of our work or send
us your ideas as nearly as
you can formulate them and
we will send you sketches
for your approval. Remem-
Der 1t costs you nothing to
consult US and the chances
are we can save you money.
There are some people
who. though a misconceived
Idea. consider an architect
as n sort Of q luxury to be
dispensed with when eX-
pense IS consideration. Now
that is Just when an architect
Is needed most of all for bo-
Sides giving you the benefit
OF his SCIENTIFIC training
which enables him to plan
your work more economical
ly and satisfactory, he ac-
tually saves you, in almost
every case. much more than
his commission amounts to
by the competition he creates
among the contractors In sub
mitting their figures and also
by his judicial handling OF
tho work.
Remember we do work all
through Utah and Idaho and
outlying districts. Our
charges which are based upon
the cost of the building arc
as follows: 1 per cent for
preliminary sketches. per
cent for plans. specifications
and details; per cent for
the above including superin-
tending the work until finish
ed and 10 per cent for con-
tracing designing.

HIGH SPEED OF OCEAN LINERS.

The loss of the White Star liner Re-
public, and the narrow escape of a
thousand and half Of passengers, has
called sharp attention to the speed
madness which has been cause Of COM
plant against these ocean liners from
captains of small craft for years.
The complaint Of the fishermen on
Georges banks against these great
steamships has been long and loud
and many a passenger who happened
to be upon deck when the fog bank
lifted would be startled to see scores
Of fishing boats in the water about. It
IS doubtless a fact that many of these
little schooners have been sent to the
bottom by liners and not even the
lookout IN the steamers bows know
of it. The charge, at least. has been
repeated so often that there must be
something Of truth in it.
There is no proof that the Repub-
lie slowed down on account of the
thick fog encountered: and it is a
fact that her record from the moment
she cleared Sandy Hook until she COL
lided in the North Atlantic with the
Florida shows an average run of fif-
teen knots an hour.
Now the admiralty courts are to
have a great trial to fix the blame and
the amount Of damages, and it will be
interesting to keep tabs on the evil
dence and see how much respect the
owners OF these great liners have for
the laws Of navigation. At present
there is not much evidence that thev
have any.

THE SMILE THAT WON'T COME
OFF.

There are too many people who do
not believe there is any such smile.
1t matters not how much is said about
it, or how many instances are shown
that man may even smile when others
weep
A convict at Sing Sing made a rec
ord by walking to the electrical chair
with the same old smile upon his face
He was doubtless thinking it would
soon be over, not that he was going
to be hurt.
1t is a great thing to be able to
smile where others would frown and
it is shameful thing to frown when
most people would smile. Habit has
a deal to do with how we act and
look under the trials and troubles Of
life
1t is much better to 20 smiling
through life than to 60 frowning
through it, and it will not be a sin
to smile when others would weep
There is nothing like keeping up a
show Of cheerfulness under the most
disappointing circumstances. for it
may be of real benefit to others if not
to ones self

CIRCULATION
GOV. LILLEY TAKES THE INlTIA-
TIVE

Gov. George L. Lilley has taken the
initiative in trying to settle the hat
sers' strike, whose representatives and
She manufacturers association have
Ahed to reach satisfactory conclu-
lions.
Hatmaking Is one Of Connectieut's
great industries and It will be a most
AETportant service IL Governor Lilley,
9th the governors of New York and
&ew Jersey, can succeed In arranging
lsrms agreeable to all parties con-
eerned.
The New York Times says upon this
matter:
Tt Is understood that the governors
will act Independently Of the strikers
and the manufacturers. Governor Lii
ley Of Connecticut has addressed let
tiers to Governor Fort and Governor
Hughes. asking them to meet him in
conference. 1t 10 understood both gov
ernors will do so.
president John A. Mofitt Of the
union said yesterday that the union
would be glad to submit its case to
the three governors and abide by their
decision.
''The Hat Manufacturers' association
held series Of meetings lasting all day
Saturday at the Hotel Astor to con-
slider action to be taken regarding the
strike of the hatters against the de-
sision to discontinue the union label.
Important action was taken, It is said.
but the meetings were secret and no
statement will be given out until
Tuesday next"
The issue is not so serious II the
men would get into a rational mood
and fairly consider 1t.
II is quite likely that the board of
governors will find way to set the
hat factories TO running regularly
again.

OUT OF POLITICS.

A plan has been adopted in the SEN
ate of the United States to make an
end of the Brownsville affair as a
theme for political agitation, by en-
powering a special commission of five
army officers not below the rank of
colonel, which is to restore to the army
the innocent colored soldiers and to
make a final report within q year.
The Boston Transcript commenting
upon this plan, says:
The findings of the commission can
be but recommendations to the Sec
rotary of war, since board of five
officers cannot be empowered directly
to reinstate men discharged by order
Of the commander in chief, but there
will probably be no disposition in Of
fetal quarters to prolong the situation
by postponing action on the verdict of
the investigators.
This solution of the problem of how
to put back the innocent without rails
ing the everlasting constitutional
question seems to be fortunate. 1t
win bring to the work of untangllng
conflicting testimony the talent and
experience of officers long familiar with
soldiers and their ways. and capable
OF applying tests which more than
once have demonstrated their value.
In a natural course of events it
will be Mr.. Taft's secretary of war
who will pass upon the findings of the
commission. a circumstance eminently
favorable to the disappearance of
Brownsville three years after the
memorable raid. II the general under
standing that the government is today
satisfied that from one-half to two
thirds of the discharged soldiers were
innocent of participation in the affray
and were not in conspiracy of ST.
lence,' is correct, the duties of the
commission need not be peculiarly Ia
borious. Some southern senators are
already antagonizing the plan. Their
opposition is entirely their own and
mainly racial They object to negroes

shad and Cities.

AS cities on the rivers grow in size
and continue to discharge their in
creasing sewage into them, there is
additional trouble to be found in that
respect, and the whole combination
renders the rivers unfit for spawning
purposes, and turns back an ever
growing number Of shad every year.
Once the chief trouble was the set
ting Of nets across the patch Of the
ascending fish, but that has become
obsolete since there are compdra-
tivel view fish to caach, and the more
potent reason, pollution, is recognized
as doing its deadly work to the de-
struction Of what was once a consid-
cradle industry, furnishing to the peo-
pie of the state a really choice and
acceptable article Of food for about a
