DIAGNOSES PETITION Mr. Muleahy attended the city ommission meeting Friday night to iron out difficulties brought about by a petition of Main street residents asking that the line be removed. He was accompanied by S. M. Abbot, local freight agent of the company. The petitioners were represented by O. H. Nelson, P. J. Peterson and L. S. Hill. The rail company manager first went through the petition pointing out, in the eight principal divisions, how he believed it was misleading and unfair to his company. He stressed the fact that freight movement which the petitioners allege has increased has actually fallen 33 3 per cent in the past three years and 50 per cent in the past ten years.

Individual Is Not At Fault The man who lias failed in business or is out of work is blamed for it, and he often blames himself. This is adding insult to injury, Most of the failures are not due to unsound bud- ness, but to unstable money, for which no in- dividual is to blame.

The lawmakers are members of a committee from the senate and the house of the Utah legislature to inspect the Utah State Agricultural college. Iveaing Salt Lake City late Tuesday night over the Union Pacific the legislators special train left Cache Junction at 8:15 this morning for Logan. Two hours later the train, consisting of two Pullmans, two locomotives and a huge snow plow, was wedged into a ten feet high snow drift so tight it was impossible to move either forward or. backward. A relief train fiom Cache Junction carried more than 20 woikers to the scene who worked feverishly for hours trying to clear the tracks of snow. The heavy wind made the oi forts of the men almost futile since new drifts would r form continuously. More than 40 students from the USAC left for the snowbound train about noon. It was their intention to try to get the delayed visitors from their temporary prison to Wellsville by use of skiis and snowshoes. The college authorities also sent huge baskets of sandwiches and hot coffee to appease the hunger of the starving legislators, who had eaten their last previous meal before leaving Salt Lake City Tuesday night. The first one of the snowbound party to- - leave the train was Representative Warwick Lamoreaux, a young man representing Salt Lake City in the house of representatives. He reached Wellsville about 1:30 oclock this afternoon. Representative Lamoreaux made the trip from the train to Wellsville on skiis. He reported that the rescue workers from the college had just arrived at the train and that the lawmakers were enjoying the food brought from the college. If the train succeeds in breaking through the drifts and come into Wellsville, the legislators will be taken from local which left there in- cars to the college. -- The- U.' Logan at D oclock this morning for Cache Junction, is. snowbound between Ilyrum and Wellsville, making it impossible for any train to come into Logan from the south. The program outlined for the visiting legislators at the college will undoubtedly be carried out this evening and arrive in Logan tomorrow forenoon, should the later this afternoon. - - law-make- SEN.
