been epidemic in Salt Lake for a year

diseases as a public crime. because
the diseases could be avoided by the
use of proper safeguards by those re.
sponsible for public health.
We would 20 further and demand
that with the record Of those diseases
there be kept memoranda in explana-

that these notations be regularly pub

THE EFFECT 1T WILL HAVE ON
OGDEN.

What effect will f Fl. Hartman s
death have on Ogden? That involves
the broader question, which cannot at
present be answered. what effect will
his death have on the entire West?
The Hartman roads will be held
less firmly as system and there may
be a breaking up of the consolidation
which was brought about few years
ago Oregon Short Line may be seq
regated. and that part Of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific coy
ering the main line from Omaha
to San Francisco may be merged.
None of these changes though are to
be expected short Of three or four
years.
James j. Hill may make peace with
the Hartman people and be given the
command OF the united Hill-Harriman
roads. That would be in keeping with
and rivalry, so much desired by the
giants In the Standard Oil and Hill
groups of financiers.
While Hartman lived. the man was
supreme in the affairs OF his roads and
there was no minority TO force a com
promise policy or even receive recog-
milton. From now on all interests will
demand and obtain hearing, and the
result may be a breaking up of the
Hartman system.
One thing TO be looked for at Ogden
is the creating of neutral company
TO have control OF the terminal: or the
Union Pacific may be given jurisdic-
ton. The line from Ogden to Sparks
may go back to the control of the
Southern Pacific. Any of these
changes would prove to be favorable
TO Ogden by adding TO the Importance
OF the city as railroad center.
