incumbent, was appointed to fill
the vacancy.
Jack Heggie, who was appointed
night police at the Inauguration of
the administration, was later re-
lieved and John Knutti appointed
in his place. When the latter was
promoted TO be chief, Will Ridd
was appointed as night officer, and
thus the force will doubtless COLI
tinue to the close of the administra-
tion in April.
With the duties of county at
torney added to his increasing prl-
vale business, City Clerk Harrip
found it necessary to resign on Jan.
1st, and w. ]. Ryan is now looking
after that end Of the city's business
The Office of superintendent of
water works, which was created
less than year ago, has also been
in the hands Of three different men.
Jake Jones was the first one ap-
pointed, but for some reason the Job
didn't look good to Jake and he re-
signed. TIE mantle then fell onto
the shoulders of Ed Fletcher, who
held the job down until November,
when 1t was shifted to Tom Barrett,
who now modestly bears the titles
of justice Of the police, police judge,
road overseer and superintendent of
water works.
II Is not likely that there will be
any more changes in the clty's
official family between now and the
time when the next administration
takes hold of the reins of govern
ment, which is only three months
hence.

LORIN FARR OF OGDEN, DIES
SUDDENLY FROM STROKE OF APOPLEXY
Was One Of the Pioneers Of Utah and Promi-
nently Identified with Development Of the
State-Leaves Many Descendants.

Ogdeh, Titan, Jan. I2-While
bathing in the pool at the Utah Hot
Springs this afternoon; Lorin Farr,
one of the oldest and best known
residents of Utah, was suddel ly
stricken with apoplexy and died
before,assistants could reach him.
Mr.. Farr was born in Waterford,
Vermont, July, 27, 1920 and would
have been SO years old had ne lived
until the u of next July.
He was converted to the Mormon
faith in 1882 and in 1897 he ac-
companied his parents to Kirkland,
OHIO. La I84l he went to Nauvoo,
ILL.,, where he experienced many of
the hardshlps, which the people Of
his faith encountered. lie came to
Utah in September, 1s47 and in
1850 he came to Ogden, where he
superIntended the construction OF
the first grist' -four and saw mills
erected id northern Utah, being the
first person to divert the water OF
/, Ogded river for power purposes.
His death recalls the early history
of railroading tn this state. In
1868 he began business as a rall

passed upon. The election judges
and clerks were allowed 80 and $s,
depending upon the number of hours
they served.
The registrars of election were
allowed 90 cents name.
An order was entered making the
Auditor the purchasing agent for
the county during interim between
sess' IONS Of the commissioners.
THIS method is in vogue in a num-
Der of counties of the state and it
enables the auditor, who is clerk of
the board, to keep strict account
of all material ordered and when
bills are presented to the board he
knows whether the material has
been furnished or not and whether
or not the CLAIMS are just.
DR.. Ashley Of PARIS, was elected
county physician and Joe Parrot
was elected janitor of the court
house, ia place of John Humphrey,
who has held that position for the
past IA years. The salary of the
janitor was fixed at 800 a quarter.
The board adjourned Wednesday
at noon until February 23rd, at
which time the applications for
LIQUOR licenses will be considered.
The clerk was instructed to issue
d call to the road overseers of the
county to meet with the commission
ers on that date for the purpose of
discussing road matters. We under
stand that the commissioners ex-
pressed themselves az beng in favor
of having the county roads put in
the very best condition possible dur
ing the coming year and that at the
forthcoming meeting they intend to
outline to the overseers something
Of the nature Of the work they wish
done this year.
The regular proceedings of the
board will be published next week.

Voted for Hepburn.

Boise, Jan. 13.-After night Of

Of many caucuses which availed

Justify it, and when the result was
announced it showed solid party

MANY CHANGES IN
CITY ADMINISTRATION
Only Three Councilmen, Who are now
Serving, were Elected--Change in
Police Force and other Offices.

There have probably been more
changes in the personnel Of the pre-
sent city administration. than in all
other administrations combined
since Montpelier has been incor
'porated. OF the six counollmen
who were elected in April, 1907,
only three are still serving, namely
Jode Phelps in the First ward,
Frank Jones in the Second and D..
McLennan in the Third.
DIR. Sutton, the other member
elected from the First ward, resign
ed to 60 on mission, AMI Frank
Miles was appointed to fill the
vacancy. Mike Malone is serving
in the Second ward in the place of
G. n. Sweet, who removed from
the CITY shortly after his election.
James RedInan was appointed as q
member of that body from the
Third in the place of the late W.
M. Hoskins, who resigned shortly
before his death.
In the police force there have
also been a number of changes.
Fhos. Burke, whom Mayor Cruik
shank first appointed as chief of
police, wore the star about a year.
lie was succeeded by Henry Dal-
rymple, whose appointment, or
rather the attempt to haye Henry
act as chief in name only, while a
Paris man was to perform the duties,
caused quite jar in the city house
