K. of C. special train for Ogden leavrs over the Oregon Short Line at ; a. m. fcunday and a large num ber will doubtless accompany the i , ' Knights and participate in the cere- ( monies of dedication of St. Joseph's new church. Tickets for round trip, $1, may be obtained from the Knights. The hour of return w ill be 4 o'clock, but I parties so desiring can select any other J returning train the same day. Those who do their shopping for , Christmas now have considerable ad vantage over those who put off buying 1 until later. Now the merchants' stocks J are practically unbroken, the sales ; people are not rushed and the pur- j chaser will not be hurried while mak ing his selections. This will not be the 1 case if you wait until the last to do j ' your holiday shopping. 1 The city railway company is com- J pleting the extension of its Fourth South street line from Fourth South and Ninth East to Seventh South to connect with the state prison line. ' . , & Insurance men say there is a good location some ways up City Creek can- ' yon for a dam, and an effort will be ' made to make that fact plain to the municipal powers that be. : Although bricklaying for the winter j has ceased at the federal building the ' . stonecutters continue to work, as the cold does not freeze them up. So when 1 spring comes, and construction is re sumed, there will be a great lot of 1 Etone work ready for setting. ,, . Local dealers in firearms say that ' ' there never was such a demand for re- j volvers in the history of the city as at ' the present time. The fear of hold-ups ; and the apparent inability of the police j to cope with the thugs who are in- 1 I festing the city is the cause of all this arming. Several dealers have sent east ; J for more weapons. An entertainment is being prepared by 7,. C. M. I. people to be given as ; a sort of house warming when the of- 1 fices of the great corporation are moved j over into the new quarters. The fes- i , tivities will be held in the new annex, and dancing and refreshments will be ' features of the evening. ; j Local electricians figure that it costs ' ! three times as much to heat a car by , . electricity as it does with coal stoves. So the electric heater must go. : ' -- The Ogden dam of the Utah Light & Power company is full and overflowing 1 to the satisfaction of the management, ' and the voltage over the local wires t is now what is expected of it. j Section Director Murdock of the local weather bureau says of conditions in local precipitation this season: "The 1 mows that fall during November stay. They thaw and freeze and get rained , on and pack down. This turns into ice j r by the constant thawing and freezing - process and you have water during . the months when needed. In some j parts of the state the supply has been j unusually heavy. It has been heavier . ." in the southern parts of the tsate than , . .' in the northern counties. And then, too, it has varied. That is, in some j : places -there has been a bigger fall I than in others. I mean that come of , the counties lying ihe same with re- , gard to latitude fared better than : neighboring counties." |
