FAIR WEATHER FOR TODAY
Local FOrecaster Trying Hard to
Square Himself With the
Public.

So thoroughly did the local weather man
enjoy his Christmas day that, after pro-
found thought yesterday, he decided to
present another day of sunshine and COM
paratively warmer weather to Salt Lake,
and he AYERS that the indications seem
to point to a continuance of these condi-
lions for several days at least.
The weather map of yesterday shows
the minimum temperature for the last "A
hours ending yesterday morning at
clock to be Is, while the maXimtm was
%. This gives a mean temperature for
Sunday of % degrees, against normal
of 80 degrees The sun was shining a
great part of the time yesterday, so it
is reasonable to suppose that when the
report is issued at o'clock this morn
ing a good rise in the temperature will
be shown.
Probably the most interesting feature of
yesterdays map is the fact that extreme
ly temperatures, much below the normal,
are being reported from all parts of the
country except Montana and the two Da-
kotas. MQdena, Utah, was the only point
in this state reporting the mercury as
falling below zero.

Moffat Makes Denial.

The recurrent rumOr of the transfer OF
the Moffat road was brought up yester-
day, largely on the report of the with
drawal of the tunnel company stock.
This brought out the reiterated denial
from Mr.. MOffat, sent out in the follow
ing press dispatch
Denver, Dec. I'D. H. MOffat, presi-
dent of the Denver, Northwestern < Pa
cific railroad, known as the 'MOffat road,
this afternoon denied emphatically the
truth of the story published in a local
paper to the effect that the Rock Island
system had acquired control of the Moi
fat road
This was based on the report that
the stock of the James Peak tunnel pro-
ject had been withdrawn
This was a 100000 corporation, the
object of which was to drive a bore
through James peak, thus reducing ma
teTially the heavy grades on the east end
of the M0ffat road.
" There's not a d word Of truth in
it, said President MOffat to an AssOci-
ated Press representative.
" The MOffat road is not sold and is
not going to be sold. There never was
but $3.50 worth of stock of the James
Peak tunnel project issued anyway, and
that is in the safe of the Moffat road
It's going to stay there. No one from
the Rock Island system has ever seen
me about the possible sale of the road
and 1 don't expect any one to see me-

MOFFAT ENTERS AN
EMPHATIC DENIAL
Declares Denver, Northwestern
& Pacific Railroad Has Not
Been Sold.
NO STOCK DISPOSED OF
NO CHANCE FOR ROCK ISLAND
SYSTEM TO ACQUIRE CONTROL.

Railroad officials who keep their ears
to the ground are convinced that there
is good ground for the current runner that
the Rock Island system has acquired con-
troll of the Denver, Northwestern & Pa
cific railroad, more commonly known as
the Moffat road extending from Denver
TO Steamboat Springs, Colo. with the ulti-
mate terminus at Salt Lake
There have been many stories about the
transfer of control, most of which have
either been denied or passed over but
those in touch with the western railroad
situation find considerable proof in re-
cent happenings The announcement is
taken as significant that all of the stock
OF the tunnel company which had the
contract to drive a tunnel through James
peak of the Rocky Tountain range for
the MOffat road has been withdrawn. This
might have had a bearing on yesterday S
furry In Rock Island stock on the New
York market, but those who could really
tell, won't.
One official prominent in local railroad
circles, stated yesterday that a formal
announcement of the transfer Of the Moi
tat road to the Rock Island might be
looked Tor at any time.
If the signs read right he said,
there is no doubt about the transfer,
and there is more than one indication
that, if it is not already accomplished, it
will be at an early date

TAFT breaches a Sermon.

In the pulpit of the famous Mormon
tabernacle In Salt Lake City. Utah,
where four years ago Theodore Roose-
welt. then president. preached long
sermon ON right living and the duties
OF good citizenship. President Taft
faced an audience which he said in.
spired him to try to follow In the foot
prints OF his predecessor and deliver
preachment.
Mr.. Taft did preach a sermon, text
and all. The immense audience In the
fiag-draped edifice the splendid musi
cal program of operate and patriotic
selections. the enthusiastic cheering
as President Taft appeared and the
quick response OF the audience to the
points which he endeavored to i'm.
press upon his hearers. inspired him.
the president declared, with higher
thoughts OF country and patriotism.
The presidents sermon was an ap-
peal for amity between the people for
attributing the best rather than the
worst motives to the action OF others
when possible to do SO and not to har.
Dor hatred or animosity.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger" was
the text Mr.. Taft selected from the
Book of Proverbs. The sermon was a
homely utterance. largely made up OF
a relation OF stories to give emphasis
to the points.
From the tabernacle the president
was driven to review about 10000
school children. At one point along the
line a thousand or more children had
been arranged In a living flag red,
white and blue caps serving to outline
the national emblem.
Thence the president proceeded to
the Young Mems Christian Associa.
tion. where he made a brief address
to men. Lastly the president attended
services especially arranged for him
at the Unitarian church. After this
unusually busy Sunday morning he left
Salt Lake for Ogden. where he en-
joyed an eighteen-mile ride through
Ogden Canon and made his third ad.
dress OF the day at Lester park
When Senator Smoot introduced the
president to the audience In the Salt
Lake tabernacle the cheering was so
great that Mr.. Taft could not begin
his address for several minutes.
