WATER MEASURE WAS
SECRETLY FRAMED

The heated discussion in the coun-
Gil chamber, Monday night, over the
water commission bill now before the
legislature. brought out the fact that
at least three Of the councilmen, Aus
tin, Wilson and Dana. had never seen
the mesure. Councilman Austin at
tempted to obtain a poll OF those who
had been party to preparing the bill,
but he was squelched.
This Is an astounding disclosure.
One Of the most important measures
in the history of Ogden, having TO do
with the disposing of what In the ag-
gregate may be millions of dollars has
been given birth in the dark of the
night. and. by accident, has been ex-
posed to the public gaze. What does
1t all mean? How far back In the deal
for the waterworks does this same
clandestine work extend?
Are the people Of Ogden so un-
worthy OF the confidence of the city
administration. that whatever the
council and Its advisers set about to
accomplish, shall be done in secret?
The disclosures already made arc
appalling and will stand as unparallel-
ed In the records of our public affairs.
The writing into the waterworks bill
Of the S100-a-month and $5-a-day grab
proves that there is an undercurrent
which should be brought Ia the sur
face. The whole transaction has
aroused the suspicion of the citizens
OF this community and they want moro
light
The declaration has been made that
House Bill 156, which is the water
commission bill, has been amended.
Why not publish this amended bill so
the water consumers and taxpayers of
Ogden can judge of it's worth? We
dare say not a newspaper in this city
has seen the bill as amended. The
public Is being kept absolutely In the
dark.
Legislation so important should be
! submitted, first, to the people. should
be discussed, II necessary, amended !;
should be finally referred back to the
people for their consideration, and then,
" approved. should be presented to
the legislature. Here We have meas

FAMOUS SPOKANE RATE

Spokane rate case, which has been In

than two years, Is now with the print

In railroad circles that the commits

BOLD SCRUBS.

THE town Is afflicted with oglerf
! and mashers." is the way q young lady
of eighteen expresses 1t.
I'VE were on Lincoln avenue, near
ing home at a little after six, four OF
us girls" she continued. when two
we'll dressed young men, strangers
drove up In double rig. stopped in
front OF us, tied the horses to post
and, approaching. said, Girls. take
ride with u.s.. Tho least suspectins
member of our party said, You have
made a mistake Then they grew
bolder and sought to take us by the
arms, when our indignation know no
bounds"
Our informant says this is not an
unusual occurrence OF late-that these
gay danglers are constantly annoying
young girls with staring looks and
brazen effrontery.
We call the attention Of the police
to this practice OF all the low crea-
lures on earth. the bold street male
masher is the most despicable and he
should be cared for by the strong arm
of the law.
The incident related in the Stand
ard of Monday proves the boldness of
these scrubs. One OF them followed
young lady along the street to the
very threshold of her home where,
fortunately. her parents stood to catch
him.
The young man who attempts to
form the acquaintance on the street OF
a girl who has In no manner invited
his attentions should be seized by the
nape OF the neck and Kicked until he
begs for mercy.
The pride OF the average American
Is to be respectful and deferential to
the ladies and as result the Ameri-
can girl or woman is granted greater
degree of liberty than the female por.
tion of the population of any other
country. There Is trust reposed In the
bigh-mindednes of our women and
equal confidence extended to the men
The unscrupulous, sneaking degener-
ate of the street who seeks to take
advantage of this freedom of action
should be horsewhipped-not by the
men, but by the ladies.

OGDEN THE PLACE.

Hold on to your Ogden property" i"
is the advice of a prominent railroad
man, not thousand miles from Og
den. This was IN reply to friend
who had sought his advice. ogden Is
destined to be the greatest railroad
town In the West"
Now If this paper were TO tell all
that has been told In confidence, there
would be more people preaching,
"Hold on to your Ogden property"
There are two big land deals on;
suburban railroads are building; big
foundries and refrigerator car shops
are In sight; fruit mon arc coming
here to locate; large buildings are to
be constructed; the Ogden-Lucin cut
or may be raised eighteen inches; the
Oregon Short Line Is to be double
tracked to Salt Lake and gasoline mo-
tor cars employed; the Bamberger
road Is to be electrified and shops
built in Ogden; the La Grande, Ore
gon sugar factory may be moved to
this valley, perhaps to Huntsville; the
waterworks is to be enlarged, and
many private dwellings are to be
erected.
We could go on at considerable
length summarizing in part the things
which are to send Ogden ahead with
bound.
The lesson this all teaches is this,
that If you are not now part Of Og-
den-if you do not own lot or a home
become property owner at the ear
liest possible moment. and thus be In
a position to reap some of the beue-
flts which are to como to Ogden as a
whole.
The prospects for Ogden were never
brighter.

cause of an established claim of here

could not be followed. pretty 19-year-
old Kate Foley of this city defied three
OF the huskiest officers of the local
force to serve a warrant for her ar
rest which they held. When the po-
lice officers invaded her home, Miss
Foley fled toward the attic and with a
mocking laugh dared the police to fol-
low. When they reached the attic the
girl was safely ensconced between the
wall and chimney In a space so
small that, although the police could
see her and hear her taunts. they were
prevented from reaching her by their
superior ayoirdupols
The police considered smoking the
girl out and the use OF ammonia
fumes to dislodge her. but when her
father appeared and offered $500 cash

three officers left after complimenting

Foley was charged with battery on the

Salt Lake, March 2.-Three bank.
rupt cases were before the federal
court Yesterday morning, The petition
Of Adam NJ. Little was dismissed by
reason OF the fact that the petition
for discharge was not advertised with.
In the specified time, and William
1sherwood and H. E. Zerbe were ench
given time TO come within the order
of the court In making public their
petitions for discharge.
After the disposal of the bankrupt
cases Judge Marshall handed down
an opinion concerning orders OF the
federal court in relation to bankrupts.
He said that any order of bankruptcy
from the federal court was binding TO
the state courts. While no names
were mentioned, the opinion was aim
ed at some OF the local collection ag-
encies. who have in the past paid but
little attention to the orders Of the
United States court discharging per-
sons as bankrupts until they we're fur
nished with certificate from the
clerk OF the court,
The sense of the opinion handed
down by Judge Marshall was to tho
effect that 1t was not necessary for
the collection agency TO be furnished
with certificate of any person dis
charged as a bankrupt. but that the
order OF the court was sufficient evi-
dence Of the persons bankruptcy and
