WHAT HAPPENED AT PARK CITY
WHEN j. D. MURDOCH WAS IN POWER

Editor Tribune: James D. Muroock.
the nominee for mayor of Salt Lake upon
the church Republican ticket, was a few
years ago a resident and prominent man
iu the affairs OF Park City In 1894 Mr..
Murdoch was master mechanic at the
Ontario mine In this city at tho same
time that The present water system was
put In. and on account of his position
and supposed ability he was employed
by the Park City Water company to in
stall the present water system.
To begin with he established three res
ervors In Empire canyon. and all Of
them were lower than the highest points
on both sides of the canyon where the
water was to be plpcd, and on account
OF tho location ot the reservoir neither
the people on Rossie Hill nor opposite on
Treasure Hill arc able TO get water half
of the time.
Another thing. in planning the mains
on the principal streets, he placed four
inch main on Main street and a flvc-incll
from the principal part of town. where
the greatest fire protection was and is
needed
Another brilliant act on his part The
fire hydrants installed were OF. "a Scotch
pattern that open by turning to the right
Instead Of To the left This particular
! arrangement has caused n great deal ot
annoyance and loss of time at the time
of a Are. when quick action Is a neces-
| sity. This is to show what kind OF al
engineer Is trying to get his hand upor

count OF Mayor J. Fl. Deming being out
OF town, Mr. Murdoch was acting mayor
of Park City, and his duty above all else
was 10 help protect Park City. When the
fire had gained such hcadway that II was
assured that the city was doomed. Mr..
Murdoch, with a force OF men and the
water supply Tor the old Marsac mill,
used all their energy and water for the
old mill. which was worthless at the
time, and also ON two frame buildings on
Main street worth not TO exceed $500,
while within seventy-five feet the First
National bank building, worth $4,000,
was allowed 10 burn; also the city hall,
which was about the same distance on
the other side OF the frame buildings,
Mr. Murdoch could have taken his force
OF men and his water one block up Main
street and. with that and the city water
could have saved the greater share OF
the town, but instead OF that he saved
two frame buildings worth not 10 cN-
coed $500. and a worthless old mill that
was torn down two years later on ac-
count of being out OF date and worth
less.
This is the man who aspires to guide
Salt Lake City and her welfare for the
next two years. and proposes so much
FOR Salt Lake City.
Does IL look. from past records, that
he gives hang for thc public good
whore corporation in which he is ih-

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
BOOK CONTROVERSY

The matter reported on overcharGes on
textbooks by the hook store at the
university Is causing good deal OF
talk among the students, and for the
purpose of correcting any erroneous
IDEAS that may bo beld in regard to
the case, DIR. d. r. Allen has set out
the facts in the matter to the student
body. as follows;
Several wears ago, when the students
were under the necessity of going TO
town to purchase textbooks, it oc'

After 4 few years the professors or
dered moro than they needed, and the
shelves began to ill up with unused
books. This year, when school began,
there were 1900 books on the shelves.
With considerable money tied up in the
books the management could not afford
TO do business without receiving some
thing on the capital invested, and IT
became necessary 10 add small amount

students books at Wholesale price, plus

This year still another plan has been
tried by the management, that of sell

which were discounted at . per cent.

GROWING cEoARs FOR PROFIT.
Tennessee Has Section Where Wood
of PencIs Is Grown.

Tennessee Has Section Where Wood
of Pencils Is Grown.
Down in my state there is a patch
of territory about twenty-five miles
square, near the town where the bat
tie of Franklin was fought during the
civil war, which is practically the
only section in the United States
where cedar is grown for no other
purposes than to furnish stock for the
lead pencil industry said Thomas
Green of Nashville at the National,
to a Washington Post reporter.
I'm that section cedar trees seem
to spring spontaneously from the soil,
and the peculiar thing about it is
that they do not grow in any other
section of the state to amount to
anything. These forests give en-
ployment to many wood choppers and
planning mill workers, who prepare
the cedar for shipment to lead pencil
factories in the eastern states and in
Europe
San immense amount OF the wood
is cut, planed, sawed and shipped out
of the town of Mudfreesboro, Tenn,
every year. There have been many
fortunes made in that section out or
cedar. Cedar trees there are cult
waited as is any other crop. The
groves, conserved as they are now by
the wise owners, will last forever,
and will be furnishing the close
grained, fine fibered wood for pen
ellis a century from now

Bill Boards a Public Nuisance.

Among recent decisions against bill
boards, was that by Justice Seabury,
of the New York supreme court, in a
case in which the authorities of Man
haitian borough were the defendants,
with the C. J. Sullivan Advertising
company as plaintiff. This decision
upheld the contention that the adyer-
Using company had no right to erect
signs on a temporary shed across
pl bile highway An important point
in Justice Seabury's decision was to
this effect:
''Such signs being outside the
building line, it is doubtful if the
municipal authorities could lawfully
have authorized their erection. The
streets or highways are public pro
perty. The streets, including the side
walks, being from side to side and
end to end to the public Auditing
owners have no right to appropriate
this public property to private uses.
The erection of billboards or signs
upon or over public property is an APP
preparation of public property to pri-
vate uses, and is no more sanctioned
by the law than is the public appro-
priation of private property"
Further, in ruling against the signs,
Justice Seabury declared that at is a
case where the public property has
been wrongfully invaded by private
or individual interests in such way
as to impair the common rights of all
in it" He held, too, that "the pres
ence of the billboards upon the pub
lie highway is a mere nuisance which
the municipal authorities will do well
to abate.''
