Think Man and Exhibit the
Best Way to Boost
the Valley.

Members of the Realty association.
who met in the Dacres grill this noon
at their regular weekly luncheon,
chose for the principal subject of dis
cussion the question OF placing some
live, wideawake man at Pasco or
some of the main line points of the
Northern Pacific railroad, for the pur
pose of disseminating literature con-
cerning this valley and also to fur
nish all visitors to this section of the
country the information they seek. w.
r. Paxton as postmaster introduced
John Baxter as the first speaker and
he said.
Il think display of the fruits and
grasses of this valley at some promi
nent point would be fine thing. 1t is
proper method to interest people who
are visiting in this country and in the
hands of an intelligent agent the plan
would be d paying one. Although good
at Pasco, would not suggest this
place as so many people pass through
there and stop off at some of the ter
minals such as Seattle or Tacoma.
Spokane is another good place for such
a purpose. Make this display compa-
rative and if ve-g grow better fruit than
is produced in other sections of the
country let the signs read that way
H. o. Cecil, who has proven himself
to be one of the livest real estate men
in this city, was the next speaker on
the list and began by emphasizing the
remarks of Mr.. Baxter. He further
stated that now was the time for all
real estate agents to send in their
listings to either the secretary or his
assistant and get them all together.
In this manner. he said, people who
want to know what it would cost them
to locate in this country could get the
necessary information.

VIEWS Of SENATOR PLATT
Elihu Root to Control New York Re
publieans-Roosevelt Out OF the
Political Game.

New York, March 7.-Elihu Root will
be the Republican leader of New York.
according to a published interview
credited to former Senator T. c. Plat,
who has just returned from Washing
ton.
''Elihu Root viii head the Republican
organization because of DOMINIC the
senatorial toga," Mr.. Piatt is quoted as
saying. "His powers are only less than
those of the president and he and Presi-
dent Taft are on close terms.
When Mr.. Plat was asked whether
Mr.. Loeb's appointment did not lndl-
cate that Theodore Roosevelt planned
to control Republican politics in this
state on his return from the African
hunting trip, he said;
ANY man who goes to Africa for a
year cannot expect to keep his hold in a
political way. I believe Mr. Roosevelt
proposes to retire permanently from the
field of political endeavor- Mr. Roose-
welt will not be heard from politically
hereafter"

CITY COUNCIL
MEETS TONIGHT
Demand May Be Made Upon
the Mayor for investigation
of Recent Transfer.

1t is more than likely that a demand
will be made by Mayor a. L. Brewer at
the meeting of the city council tonight
for thorough investigation of all mat
tiers connected with the transfer of the
waterworks system from the Ogden Wa
terworks company to Ogden City
Judge A. W. AEee returned again yes
terday to the assault upon the city adj
ministra ton in general and City Attorney
J. II. DeNine for the manner in which
the equity of the waterwUTks company
in TaylOr's canyon was transferred 10
tho city. Judge Agee takes the position
that the taxpayers were deceived TO that
extent in voting for the water bonds last
summer and insinuates that there may
be other items of a similar nature in the
transaction.
Mayor Brewer and other members of
the city administration assert that this
Taylor canyon part Of the deal with the
WaterWOrks company was absolutely or
the square; that the exact condition OF
the equity vas set forth in the contract
between the waterwoTks company and the
city that all the information has been
on file i'm the office of the city recorder
from the beginning. and that there is o.
reason whatever for any intelligent CHI
zeut to be deceived or misinformed.
But the raising of the point may lead
to an investigation and the making pub
Tic of all the terms Of the contract ur-
der which the city acquired the water sys-
TEN. This IS all the more likely in vie y
Of the fact that the movement to have
a water commission created for the city
through an enactment of the legislature
has been killed through the opposition OF
citizens In the community. The water
works system is to be operated by a com
Tnittee of the city council, and, as a deS-
perate effort is being made to cast dis
credit upon the city administration, the
publication of all the terms OF the water
deal is likely to be demanded by the ad-
ufiuietTa ton

LEWIS nixon ON AIRSHIPs
New York Shipbuilder Makes Predic-
tons In Address at Auto
mobile Club Dinner.

New York, March LEWIS Nixon,
the well-known ship builder. spoke of
the possibilities of aerial navigation in
an address at the Richmond County Au-
tomobile clubs annual dinner last night.
Aeropianes in war, Mr.. Nixon said,
would be used for scouting, the drop
ping of small bombs and the attack of
large dirigibles. The field OF the hell
copter would probably be largely on the
warship, because of its ability TO rise
without a start.
Cities would soon have regular land
ing stations on the tops of houses, and
already people were building docks
where airships might alight safely.
Just as a big ship anchors far from
shore in deep water, the airship will
anchor high up in the air, and be
reached by special elevators held by
cables fastened to shackles on the
ground.
Based upon observation and calcula-
tons made from results already OBJ
tanned, and hence in no sense specula-
tive, it was safe TO predict, he said,
that the airship would soon appear with
a length of from $500 to 5000 feet,
which could easily so with one hundred
passengers from here to Europe and
return within a week.

would legalize collection accounts

State Treasurer Hastings, the house to-

tees, which practically nullify the in
tended effect A senate measure, which
failed to pass in the house, stipulated
that the state treasurer should receive
from country treasurers cash, United
States treasury drafts, postoffice money
orders, checks and other evidences of
Indebtedness in settlement of state ac-
counts. The inclusion of the last two

the very effect which it had been hoped
would be prevented. for checks. when
deposited by the state in banks, are not

the proposed enactment was killed.
Wednesday the house sent to the SEN
ate a bill which eliminated checks and
other evidences of Indebtedness. There
it was altered to include them, and was
returned to the assembly for concur
renee in the amendment. The house
concurred.
