TONNAGE IN
OGDEN is HEAVY

While James ] Hin. the great rail-
road magnote, openly states that the
traffic of the great railways OF the
country is showing a decided slump,
the local heads OF the Hartman lines
are more discreet and decline to give
out any discouragins reports for pub
llcation.
The ogden freight department an
nOunced yesterday that the traffic
handled through this city during the
month of November. 1910, shows an
appTeciable increase over the move
ment of the same month of 1909 II
is stated that while 10,409 tons OF
freight wore handled through the To-
cal offices last year. the past month
shows that IL ,09l tons were handled.
While the north and south movement
has been llghtened considerably dur
ing the past few weeks, east and west
bound freight has been sufficiently
heavy To Offset the deficit.
The distinctly local traffic is claim
ed TO be very satisfactory. During the
past month an average OF 100 tons
of freight have been shipped out OF
Ogden every day and an average OF
90 tons have found their way into the
local markets through the Hartman
lines. 1t is asserted thar this is In
excess OF the tonnage OF most former
years
The through-freight is not consider
ed in the figures OF tonnage handled
through the local Offices. In such
figures only the less-than"carload-lo
traffic Is included or such carload-lots
as are transferred at the freight house
from one car to another or this
freight 1t is estimated that the rail
roads are now handling an average
of $50 tons per day
Reports from other official sources
are to the effect that the business of
the Salt Lake division OF the HART
man lines Is exceedingly dull and that
the prospects OF the immediate future
are gloomy There is said To be
natural lull in the fruit traffic al the
present time The California orange
shipment will not begin until after
the first Of the year Just now the
only fruit movement is that of the
early oranges which amounts to but
little in tonnage
Various causes arc given for the
slump in traffic by the local railroad
officials. Some VOW that the pres
ent governmental activity against the
national combines of capital has had
its effect on the business OF the coun-
try at large and that railroad traffic
suffers as consequence. Others
state that the result Of the November
election, which was contrary 10 the
desires of the eastern capitalists, has
frightened the large incorporated In
terests. with a subsequent hesitation
OF investment. All agree that the I'm
ancial conditions of the east are at
the present time In a bad way and
that the west Is just beginning to feel
the depression.
In the Southern Pacific shops the
working force has been greatly re-
duced and several weeks ago the
hours were reduced from ten 10 eight,
with a corresponding reduction in
wages II Is said that there is a pos
sibility of the shops closing on Satur-
days, the work week being cut to Ave

LEGISLATURE IS
TO Be CHANGED

The next state legislature will re-
apportion the state into legislative and
senatorial districts. based on the pop
uIatiOn OF the state as just announced
by the census bureau.
There has been no apDortionment
OF the state since the constitutional
convention. The trainers of the CON
siituton. at that time, took Tor tho
IDIt for the senatorial districts a pop.
u'ation of 12.500 or major fraction
thereof and divided the state into
twelve senatorial districts Each OF
the districts, except the fourth, sixth
and seventh, was entitled to one SEN
ator. The fourth district. consisting
Of Weber county. was given two sen
0tors: the sixth district. comprising
Salt Lake county, was given five SEN
atorS, and the seventh district, com.
posed OF Utah County was given two
