FIRST ONE-MAN CONTROLLED
TRANScoNTINENTAL.

E. H. Hartman, when he was first
brought to the attention of the people
of Ogden by his wonderful improve
ments on the Union Pacific, was
comparatively obscure railroad mag
nate. He was overshadowed by ].
PIerpont Morgan, the yanderbilts and
even the Goulds. Today he Is the
most powerful factor In the railroad
world. whose every movement Is noted
with Intense interest and concern by
the men Of Wall Street He Is the
first railroad king to control railroads
stretching across the continent. With
the acquiring Of control Of New York
Central, he Is enabled to ride in his
special train from New York to San
Francisco without asking trackage
privilege from any road not under his
masterful hand. His transcontinenta
is made up OF the New York Central,
from New York to Buffalo; the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern, from
Buffalo to Chicago; the Northwestern,
from Chicago to Omaha: the Union
Pacific. from Omaha to Ogden; the
Southern Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco. AT Ogden he has a choice
of three routes over his own rails to
the Paci6c-from Ogden over the
Ore pon Short lima ma Oraoan pau
road & Navigation lines to Portland:
over the San Pedro to Los Angeles;
and the Southern Pacific.
II Hartman continues to reach out
in the next ten years as he has in the
last decade. he will be compelled, at
the end OF that period. to do as did
Alexander-weep for more worlds to
conquer.

RAILS ARE DEFECTIVE.

The engineers Of the Hartman and
other lines and the steel makers of the
United States Steel Corporation made
tests OF steel rails last summer and
reached certain conclusions, with the
result that new rail- was produced OF
ninety pounds weight to the yard.
This product OF experiment and theory
was intended to overcome the trou-
BILE which the railroads had experienc-
ed in defective steel. All the new
rails on the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific were Of this pattern, but
In actual test the steel has proved dis
appointing.
The old ninety-pound rail was IA
inches high: the new rail is inches
high In estimating the strength OF
the rail, steel men figured that the old
rail was unnecessarily heavy In the
web and tread, so they placed more
metal in the ball and made higher

PHYSICIANS DESCRIBE
MARVELLOUS EXPERIMENTS

Chicago, Jan. Extraordinary ex-
perIments were related with radical
measures advocated last night at one
OF the largest meetings OF the Chicago
Physicians In the history Of the city
for the discussion OF the problem OF
heredity.
Dr., Eugene Davenport of the Univer.
sity of Illinois, created a great sensa-
ton when ne advocated the applica-
tion of the fundamental principles of
Eugenlcs for Improvement of the hu-
man race. His treatment of the sub
'ject was based not only on the paper
read to the meeting, but also on his
own vast experience in meeting the
practical problems of livestock breed
Ing. His chief proposal was that all
the "culls" OF "scalawags" of the hui
man race should be taken before the
courts. scientifically investigated. and
If found unworthy, colonized and al
lowed to die of.
Scarcely less interesting was the re-
cital OF DR.. w. l., Tower, who told of
experiments in inter-marriage Of
Anglo-Americans and Irish-Americans
with the Indians Of southern Mexico.
He announced important scientific de-
ductionS arrived at as result of COM
pairing these with similar experiments
with different varieties Of certain
small South American beetles Other
men who have studied heredity In
pigeons. evening primoses, guinea
pigs, turtle doves, rabbits and rats
showed the results Of their expert
mentS.

THE PROHIBITION BILL.

The liquor traffic in Utah Is curse
to the people of the state. From vii
lage to city. there is trail over
which are scattered the hulks OF for
mer men from which the souls have
taken fight, leaving but shells to be
whisked along by every breeze that
blows a scent of alcohol; there are
signs Of greater wreckage vet to
come. when boys. now in their teens,
are sacrificed to developing thirst
for strong drink; there are homes de-
stroyed; there are impoverished chill
dren; there are deserted wives. We
might go. on and enumerate at great
length the crimes chargeable to the
saloon business In Utah. but 1t Is not
necessary. We ali arc aware OF the
blighting effect of whiskey, and We
recite these things simply to prove
that We are not misinformed as to the
true conditions and are not underesti-
mating the evils OF drunkenness.
With the foregoing by way of in
PRODUCTION, we come to the point In
mind which is the question whether
the Utah legislature should pass the
Cannon bill now before it, which pro-
vides for prohibition to take effect
eleven months hence. Avoiding edi-
torial opinion, let us ask few Ques-
tions:
Will such a measure, enacted into
law. deal unfairly with the liquor ele-
ment?
VIII innocent parties suffer?
Will there come great business up
heaval and reaction?
Will the law prove conf1scatory?
There are In Ogden fifty-two sa-
looms. occupying some of the most de-
sirable business quarters In the city.
Will the vacating Of these f1fty-two
places tend to disturb real estate
values In the business district and
lower rentals?
Will the loss of the saloon revenue
force higher taxes in this city?
Will the throwing out of employ
ment Of 300 or 400 men In this city,
nearly all with homes. affect the en-
tire business community and inhict
great hardships?
Will many men, honorable In their
calling no r1iined2
Can any part Of this widespread
panic and harsh treatment be avoided
and yet make possible the eliminating
of the dark stain which Is upon the
state?
Is 1t absolutely necessary to have
the prohibition measure go into effect
eleven months hence? II the people
are resolved 10 have the liquor evi
cast out, would 1t be other than exact
justice to place the date OF enforce
ment OF the new law two or three
years hence. or far enough in the fu
ture to allow those now in the llquoI

THE TELEPHONE.

Advice from Washington regarding
an arrangement established by the
French government last month is Sig
nificant as showing the wide posi-
bilities of the telegraph as a by-pro-
duct of telephone operation in this
country. The telegraph companies
are, OF course, unable to avail them
selves of the plan adopted in France,
having but the one source OF revenue,
The field, however, Is unrestricted for
the telephone companies, which are al
ready sustained by the revenue from
their telephone business, although. of
course, the rates established by the
French government are lower than
