municipal ownership idea seems to
have taken a hold on the people that
is growing as no other movement ever
grew before in this section of the
country. There are dozen or more
towns IN the western part Of the state
that are now building city water
works, and some Of them are putting
in an electric light plant also. Lucas,
in the northeast corner Of Russell
county, has its plant almost completed,
and the other towns are progressing
with the work rapidly since the open

VAUDEVILLE SEASON

The Orpheum theater opened the
vaudeville season in Ogden last night
and entertained a closely packed
house with an especially good bill.

months and in addition to being beau

been rendered as nearly fireproof as
any theater in the United States. Sew
eral OF the orchestra musicians who
were With the Orpheum last year and
left the city during the summer have
returned and under the direction OF
Edgar D. Short, will play again this
season.
The opening program is mingling
of clever variety, suited to satisfy the
I, most diversified tastes. When Solo

wisdom about there being nothing
new under the sun he meant to In
clude vaudeville. Luckily, the sue
cess and pleasure of this particular
line OF theatrical entertainment does
not depend upon its uniqueness alone,
but upon the manner in which an act
is presented. Vaudeville performers
know better than any one else that
they can't "get by" on novelty.
Without a single exception the peo-
pie on the bill this week are clever
and every act wrung iroD-handed ap-
