BAMBERGER LINE TO Be
EXTENDED TO BRIGHAM CITY

Simon Bamberger. president Of the
Salt Lake and Ogden Railway com,
pany, was In the city yesterday. Dur
ing the afternoon Mr.. Bamberger yls~
tied the city recorders Office. where
he formally accepted the terms Of tho
franchise granted him by the city
council a few weeks ago to construct
his electric line through the city on
Lincoln avenue. The provisions Of the
franchise are that the rails for the
road must be laid to conform with the
street grade established for the plac-
Ing OF the pavement along that street,
which Is now in progress. This means
that the street car line Will have to be
built prior 10 or at the time of the
laying OF the street pavement.
Nj Bamberger said yesterday that
he is prepared TO build his road
through the city as rapidly as he can
get men TO do the work.
Labor Is Scarce.
1T Is a little difficult to hire help
just now and that necessarily retards
the work OF construction TO some eN-
tent. but II is not likely that this con-
dltiOn OF affairs win prevail long.
"1 think we will he able to get the
track laid by the time the street Is
paved"
What about Mr.. EccIes laying rails
at the intersections Of Twenty-GGth
and Twenty-fourth stTeets?'
We'll, guess there will be no
trouble about that. II Is very likely
that we will have no trouble In agree
ing on the question of the right of way
and the matter of the crossings at
the intersections of streets and the
maintenance of those crossings.
You can say 10 the people of Og-
den that the Salt Lake and Ogden
Railway company wants 10 do the
right thing by all parties concerned
and that every agreement entered into
between the company and the municl
pality will be carried out 10 the let
ter We desire Immediately TO COM
plcte our rods over Lincoln avenue.
and II is our intention 10 move on 10
Brigham City at the earliest possible
time
The overhead crossing on Wall ay-
enue and ThiTty-second street will be
built according TO specifications just
as soon as we can get the material
together for It's construction. We hope
II will not be long before we can get
the material we need. In the mean
time, IL the city council Will permit. We
will use the wood trestle"
Mr. Bambergcr said he thought his
company would be able TO have the
entire road from Salt Lake to ogden
electrified by December l of this year.

PROD CTION OFCOAL
IS LESS IN 1908

Washington, Aug 1.-THE effect OF
the national depression beginning in
1907 and continuing In 1908. was the
most powerful factor in a marked de-
cline In the production OF coal in the
United States in 1908, as compared
with the preceding year according to
statistics compiled by the geological
survey and made public today.
The total production of coal in the
United States in 1908 was i15,Si2. sos
short tons, having a spot value OF
S532,314,1l7 or this total. 7i,347107
long tons, with spot value of $l5S,-
17S,S49. was Pennsylvania anthracite
and 332 3d. .9i4 short tons, with a spot
value OF S374.135,262, was bituminous
coal and Ignite,
Shows Big Decrease,
The total production OF both anthra'
cite and bituminous coal In 1908
shows a decrease OF 64.520.726 short
tons. of l343 per cent in quantity and
of $50, 2,IS4,7S1( of 14.42 per cent, in
value. In the production OF bituminous
coal. however. the decrease in 1908
amounted to S77079.574. or 170S per
cent in value.
The history of the coal mining In
dustry In 1905 was in marked con
trast to that of the preceding year,
when the production of both anthracite
and bituminous coal reached the high
est point ever recorded.
Many Men Idle.
The total number OF men idle be
cause of labor troubles in 1905 In
the bituminous regious was 1915.
The total number OF working days
lost In the bltuminous regious alone
was 5.I4993S. compared with 1892
lost in 1907
While the record of accidents in the
coal mining industry in 1907 was the
worst in the history of the country
the record in 1908 was a favorable
contrast to the year preceding, but.
saws the report. still the number OF
victims was regrettably large In the
TWENTY-FIVE states from which reports
were received. 2.i50 men were killed
and 6.772 Injured In the coal mines.
The coal mines gave employment IN
1908 to a total of 690,4SS men against
6S0,492 in 1907.
The increase In 1908 as compared
with 1907 gives reasonably fair indica-
tion of the condition OF tht labor mar
ket. The surplus of labor was gen
eral throughout the country as the
increase appeared in most Of the coal
producing states. noting an increase
in production.

NO MORE FOOTBALL.
Game Has Been Banished From Pub

New York. Nov. = 19.-Football has
been banished from the New York pub
lie schools by the board of superintendi-
ents While there have been no fata!-
ties among the public school teams this
season. there have been many accidents
in which bones were broken and pupils
were otherwise injured. The revision OF
the rules had failed to eliminate the
danger of the sport and the board OF
superintendents decided that the game
should be abolished.
AS the New York schools constitute
the largest single body of football play
ers. the blow to the game is considered
severe and may have an effect through,
out the country. 1t was understood
that members Of the board of superln-
tendents had corresponded with school
directors in other cities and that the
action now taken is the result of series
of conferences which viii include other
school systems.

MUST FIX UP CENTRAL BRANCH
Kansas Commercial Travellers Hire
Captain Waters to Press Matters.

The United Commercial Travellers
tssocia ion of Kansas has employed
Captain Joseph G. Waters of Topeka to
rring proceedings of some sort to COM
pei the Missouri Pacific railroad to i'm
1rOve the Central Branch road.
ST have not figured out yet what
steps will be taken,' said Captain
Waters "But 1 hope to find some eff
fective way of getting results. The
travelling men are disappointed over
he efforts of the railroad commission
to bring the company to time. Prac-
tica1ly nothing has been accomplished
by the board.
"The U. C. T. is in dead earnest. If
necessary, it will file suit to cancel the
charter of the company or bring action
TO throw the company in the hands of
{, receiver. Since the Central Branch
was consolidated with all other Mis-
souri, Pacific properties into one big
company, of course, any suit filed
would have to be against the new COM
pany.'
One of the officers of the U. c. T.,
at Beloit a few nights ago, suggested
that proceedings be instituted to i'm
peach the railroad commissioners for
failure to do their duty, but Captain
Waters says he has advised no such
proceedings.

TOO MUCH FOR HIM.
Meeting With Long Lost Brother

Pittsburg. Nov. 19.-After being lost

we have an employee of your name
In bad shape from pneumonia, at a

they visit the hospital. mentioning that
he had brother who had been missing
for ten years. Going to the ward where
the patient lay. the New Yorker discov-

ing was pathetic. but proved too much
for the sick man, who died in a few
hours.
