 Further headway seems to have been made within the last week or two in the campaign for a consolation of the New York traction systems. This does not ap- pear on the surface and to all intents and purposes the Ryan and the McAdoo in terests are strongly fighting each other for the right to dig more tunnels and &C., commodate the public in the matter of ad- ditional transportation. It would not be true to say that the opposing Ryan and Morgan parties have yet actually gotten together, but they are approaching near CT all the time and eventually an agree ment will no doubt be reached
 The open battle or appearance of battle may last until the next election for mayor and county and city officers. Should this prove to be the case the 100000 people of New York and the sympathizing audi ence of SO,o00,O00 people composing the rest of the population of the United States will be treated to fine spectacle, in which it will be made to look as though the legends of evil and good are en- gagged in life and death struggle. in

The more the supreme court decision in the commodity clause case is studied the wiser 1t seems to get The effect on in- vestors and speculation seems to be most soothing While recognizing the right of Congress to compel the divorcement of transportation and producing lines, it found a way to save the investment world from the endless confusion and trouble which would have ensued if the law had been applied to the existing anthracite and bitumnous coal situation.
 Such enforcement would have virtually compelled the liquidation of a dozen or more railroads In order that the rights of the security holders might be defined. That would have brought about chaos and would have involved probably $2,000.- 900 in bonds and stocks. A way Is now shown by which all this trouble can be avoided without loss or confiscation in any quarter.
 Railroads are given warning to take steps in order that Congress may not have to further legislate to prevent fur ther discrimination as between railroads and independent shippers. That this warn ing is subtly conveyed between the lines of the supreme court decision Is being f1ippantly spoken of as a great victory for the railroads. It's deep meaning is beginning to be appreciated at its true value,

NEW INDUSTRY MAY BE
ESTABLISHED.

What promises to be an important
industry for ogden is now under care
full investigation by F. e. Schlageter
and other men of money OF this city.
For some time heavy shipments of
molasses from The sugar factories have
been going east to Omaha The
molasses is being used In what Is
known as an alfalfa meal plant, of
which there are only four or five in the
United States. The manufacture OF
this meal for the fattening of cattle is
a new but most profitable industry,
and the success attending the oper-
atlng of the mills has resulted in sew
eral Ogdenites joining with MT
Schlageter in planning the establish
ment OF similar industry in this
city,
The mill, If erected, will have ca
pacity of 300 tons of alfalfa meal per
day, will cost about $4,000 and re-
qulre from 100 to $50 employees the
year through.
Mr.. Schlageter says the factory Will
be located in the warehouse district
The molasses will be shipped from the
Ogden, Logan and Lewiston sugar fac
tories and be mixed with the chopped
alfalfa, producing a proyender con-
tanning Is per cent Of molasses and
rich in proteins and containing all
the elements of perfectly balanced
food for livestock.
Alfalfa is now ground in many mills
of the middle west, but there are less
than half a dozen places where all
falfa meal is produced. 1t is said the
product Of the Ogden plant could be
shipped all over the United States, as
will command a much higher price
than hay and two tons of 1t can be
loaded into the space in a car occu-.
pied by ton of baled hay.
We wish success TO the new factory.
Industries of this kind make city
and give TO place prosperity and
permanency.

AMUSING IDEAS FROM
SALT LAKE.
(Morning Examiner.)


1t is really amusing to read the va
rious Ideas advanced by the Salt Lake
papers since the election of last Tues
day as to how the state house may
be built. Before the election there
was but one way, that being through
the pockets Of the taxpayers. the rum
maging to continue for fifteen years.
but now the willy Salt Laliers advance
other ways by which a capitol fund
may be made available They, how
ever, hit upon every plan imaginable
except that of giving Ogden a chance
to put up the money and get the cap
itol or for Salt Lake to supply the
funds and retain the capital.
The Intermountain Republican, Trib-
une. Telegram and News all have ad-
vanced ideas regarding the matter
since the election, but none Of them
get down TO the real kernel of the
proposition and offer anything that
appeals TO the taxpayers. 1t IS all
pickup" with them at the expense
of the people, and for the especia! ben
eft of Salt Lake. Now they want 10
sell state. lands for a capitol fund.
and the Herald yesterday dug up the
statute books and from them read
very hattering things which it con-
cludes solves the problem to a nicely.

decides to appoint a capitol commits
sion and have the work begun.
Chapter GA provides for the appoint
ment of a capitol commission, which
Governor Spry has not vet named
Should the governor appoint 1t now
there will be S250,000 and one of the
finest sites Of any capitol building in
the union on which to lay the foun-
dation of the magnificent home for
the state which the better judgment
of It's people will one day provide. By
the time Governor Spry leaves office
ne will at least have begun the work
of constructing the capitol.
Instead of going to the trouble of
looking for favorable statutory pro-
visions, why did the Herald not sug
gest that there is 100000 OF Ogden
money available for the construction
of the state house and send Governor
Spry up here to close the deal and at
! tend to the matter of selecting the
exact spot on one of our imposing hills
where the edifice should be placed?
1t is not necessary to dig into any
state or territorial fund in order to
begin operations on the statehouse
The money, the site and the perpet-
ual water right for the capitol building
are at hand here in ogden.
Come over, Governor Spry,
and make good business
deal for the people Of the state.
According to the Herald statement we
have gone to the expense OF an un-
called for election and 1t seems to us
tnat 1t would be well for you to re-
trieve the loss by entering into
transaction with Ogden whereby the
much sought for building may become
4 reality.
