LOGAN ROAD
PIE A SES
PEOPLE

President Eccles of the Ogden Rap
IA Transit company returned from Lo
gan this morning He says that 1t Is
stin pretty cold In the northern part
OF the state and Tor that reason busi-
ness activity Is somewhat retarded.
The temperature there is lower than
in Ogden, but. he says. 1t Is cold en-
ouGh in Ogden
Mr.. Eccles Is well pleased with the
results obtained through the operation
of a street car system from the Logan
depct to the Agricultural college. He
SAYS that he thinks the people there
are better pleased over the street car
system they have than they have
been over anything that has ever
been done by way OF improvement In
the city. The rond Is being literally
patroni2ed and 1t is surely filing a
long-felt want
The Agricultural college has boen
conducted in Logan for about twenty
years and. during all that time, says
MIR. Eccles, the students have been
compelled TO climb that steep hill,
through the mud. In wet weather. in
sunshine and In rain. without even q
pavement to walk on and IT has great
ly retarded the progress of the school
The attendance has not been anything
like 1t should have been, nor anything
like II Will be with the street car nc
commodatlons at hand Students at,
tending the school now can remain
In the city, and be able 10 reach the
buildings with comparative ease.
In discussing conditions here, and
plans of the Transit company for this
years operations. Mr.. Eccles stated
that his company will accomplish all
that IS possible and profitable by way
of improvements and extensions.
'As soon as the frost Is out Of the
ground" he said, I'VE viii place our
tracks in the paved districts of the
city at grade. The rails arc here and
we are only waiting for warmer
weather so we can get TO work This
kind of work cannot be done In froz-
en- ground and 1t would be foolish for
us to undertake IT. II is very likely
that We will build down Twenty
fourth street to Wall, and along Wall
to Twenty-iifth' street when we place
our grade rails cannot say just
What will be done during the year by
way Of extending the road In other
directions. but we Will in all proba-
billty build toward the north end OF
the county from Farr West"

ed that on the last ballot eight jurors
had stood for acquittal and four for
conviction
1ne unexpected end 20 the SeBsa-
tional case Was explained by TWO jur-

OF their colleagues ref 5ed to credit
the testimony OF Warmer They as
serted that man who had confessed
10 embezzling for twenty-five years
would not hesitate 10 perjure himself
against woman, who he believed had

Prosecutor Hunt said tonight that
he expected 10 bring the woman TO
