Aladdin Fortunes.
The history Of the past ten years has
been so full of the sudden birth Of Alad-
din fortunes that the magic OF these later
creations will occasion small surprise. The
rubbing of the lamp and the ring have
been accompanied SO frequently by mirac-
ulous transformations that they have al
most ceased to thrill a blase audience.
The story, though familiar, can never
grow altogether tiresome or monotonous.
Each repetition has Its romantic feature.
Among the first to be asked to come
into the proposed big combine of inde-
pendent iron and steel companies was the
Jones-Laughlin Company of Pittsburg.
Yes, the concern would do business. but
only on the basis of an outright sale.
That was about the answer looked for
and the feeling OUT committee was not
set back. So the spokesman cut and
came again with an inquiry as to price
and terms. The reply left him In no doubt
as to situation or conditions.
Price, 100000 cash: time OF pay
ment, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock"
The intent of the answer was, OF course.
to put a prohibitive quotation on the prop
erty, yet there are experts who say the
figure is not as high relatively or equit-
ably than the price demanded and OBJ
tained by Andrew Carnegie for his prop
erty.
The steel trust earnings for the second

10000 and $30, 600 600. or about $4,000. :

insiders are voicing the belief that the

CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. England. July 10.-The
sharp rise in cotton had the effect OF
making buyers anxious to place their
orders on the cloth market during the
week on the previous basis OF values,
but manufacturers, naturally, refused TO
negotiate except at advanced prices.
Business, therefore, was small and con-
fined to immediate delivery from old
stock.
Yarns on the week were quoted q to Il

the short time while lessening the pro-
duction being offset by a sharp rise in

POORER BY $4,000
BECAUSE OF DLUNDER
Reason Why the GUY Cannot collect
From the Dcfunct Public
service Company.

Somebody blundcrcd and in conse-
quenco $4,000 that otherwise should
have gone into the Golfers OF salt Lake
city is uncorcctabic Needless to say
there is deep and abiding grief in on
ciai municipal circles. because $4,000
would have come in 80 handy just al
this time
The trouble Is that the franchise Of
The Public service company has lapsed
and been forfeited and the city cannot
collect the indemnity bond because no
damage was done 90 the city streets.
and somebody Numbered,
The story OF the dofunct company.
as gathered from the records Is about
as follows.
The council granted light and heat
ing franchise to Manley a curtis on
Sept rs. 1905 who gave an indemnity
bond for $4,000 TO the city to hold the
city free from damage suits for per-
sonal injuries and insure the replacing
~ the streets I'm as good a condition
as they we've before any work was
done on the streets by the company
Before Manlcy & Curtis did any work
on the franchise. they sold It TO the
Citizens Heating e Power company
ing a Power company filed a similar
similar indemnity bond and the first
one was released.
The Citizens Heating and Power COM
pany did no work on the streets hut
before the lapse Of the franchise as
signed IL TO the salt Lake Public Service
company. The last named filed is
indemnity bond as required by the
franchise 10 protect the city from
damages.
The Public Service company allowed
the franchise 10 lapse several times and
made representation TO the city which
secured IL an extension OF time. The
Public Service company was engaged
In building its plant but did not work
on the streets under the franchise
Last February J. j. Chambers asked
for another extension OF time, saying
that the company had secured a loan
% $1,000 600 10 complete its plant and
lay its pipe lines.
The city council agreed to allow the
extension Of time, provided that the
company would put up a bond of $50 900
that IL would comply with the terms
OF the franchise in laying four miles
or pipe lines every year. The council
imposed the condition that IL the COM
pany failed 10 comply with the fran
chiseI this bond Of $50 600 would be for
feited as lquidated damages. This
loan Of $4,000, 900, fell through, however.
and the $50 900 bond was never filed.
The $4,000 bond which the company
did file was an indemnity bond and not
penalty bond. The $4,000 bond sim-
ply held the city free from damages
and 70 Insure the preservation OF the
streets on which the company placed
its pipe lines. The company. however,
did not do any work ON the streets
ana on this account no damages could
be collected on this bond.
Some Of the councilmen however
thought that the $4,000 was a penalty

with the franchise. When the opinion
was handed down 10 the council by the
