MAKING ICE.

Everything In its season. Here is
the Rio Grande making ice while the
sun Is hid from view, which is re-
vcrsal of the hay-making motto.
The 100 OF more men employed at
the ice houses near the Rio Grande
depot have pro6ted by the frosts of
winter All kinds of weather are
necessary and 1t Is an i'll wind which
blows no one good.
There is small lake on the top of
the Wasatch range where the Rio
Grande road winds its way to Park
City. When ogden is enjoying the
temperature of spring. that lake is
frigid and the thermometer registers
26 degrees or so degrees below zero.
Great blocks OF Ice are cut, which are
is or 20 inches thick, They are load
ed into cars and shipped here. 1t is
ice from that lake which las kept as
high as 16e men busy at the Rio
Grande ice houses In Ogden during
the week.
II Ogden winters continue to be as
mild as during the last three seasons
our local ice men will be compelled
to search out some such lake or pond
where the cold days and nights force
nature to wrap itself in covering OF
frost.

ROW AMONG SENATORS
IN SECRET CAUCUS
Badger and kuchler Have Red-Hot
Argument, Which comes Near
to Blows.

Salt Lake, Jan. l4-There was a
secret caucus of the senate on Wednes
day, neld In the committee room after
senate had adjourned, in which two
senators had a row. The object of the
caucus was to consult on the question
of employees of the senate.
When the caucus was held on Satur
day night last the selection of an en-
rolling and engrossing clerk and min
ute clerk was not made, but 1t was de-
cided that Senator Marks should name
the first and Senator Badger the min,
ute clerk.
Accordingly, when the election OF
the senate officials came before that
body on Tuesday, William e. Jenkins,
brother-in-law of J. U. Eldredge, Jr
ex-deputy clerk of Salt Lake county
was named by Mr.. Badger as minute
clerk. and J. e. Hill Of Salt Lake
county as engrossing clerk by Mt
Marks, their names being included In
S. R. No. 1, and they were elected
After the election 1t was discovered
that Elder Willard Done. former pri,
yate secretary to Governor Cutler. had
been left out in the shuttle, and having
held office once, like the others in the
royal families, he must have a place.
Hence the caucus.
When the caucus was In order Sen
ator Badger of Salt Lake proposed the
creation OF an assistant engrossing and
enrolling clerk, a useless position. and
put Jenkins in this position and make
Done minute clerk.
This was opposed by Senator Kuch-
ler on the ground Of economy. He de-
clared that an assistant enpossing
clerk was useless luxury, that 1t was
created solely TO take care of some one
who believed offices were entailed and
II Is said ne INDUCED In plain language.
Badger replied In an equally forceful
way and the two senators almost came
to blows.
All this was learned after the caucus
and was due to a heated argument In
the senate chamber after the caucus.
1t was this argument that caused in
quiry and the above facts were
CLEANED.
When Senator Kuchler was asked
Wednesday evening about the row he
declined to talk, declaring he had moth
ing to say. Senator Badger could not
