While Gene held the whip hand throughout practically the entire fight, lleeney came back in that fateful eleventh round with a savage attack that nearly overcame the champion and that after Heeney was knocked completely through the ropes for what looked like a knockout just as the gong ended the tenth, lleeney was dragged to his corner, and it was feared he would never come out for the eleventh round, but his gameness won for him the respect and admiration of his victor and real sport lovers throughout the entire world. Short, fast punches while in close quarters gave the champion the advantage. There was scarcely a clinch in which Gene did not punish his rival severely, as well as with the long hard blows to the body and head with both hands. Nor was the battle d.

Ogden Gas Company Announces Big Expenditure for Betterments An improvement program involving an initial outlay of $20,000 is to be undertaken at once by the Ogden Gas company, according to announcement by A. W. Schryber, local manager. This will include laying of mains in sections of the city not now connected with gas service and improvements in tiie plant and present distributing system, Mr. Schryber said. MThe people of Ogden have certainly evidenced a deep interest in gas service and gas appliances since we opened our new sales rooms at 412 street on July 1, he Twenty-fourt- h said. "Business has exceeded our expectations. Our plan is to extend the facilities for gas service to the people of Ogden just as rapidly as the work can be done, and we have already made considerable progress since our opening. As rapidly as possible, pressure surveys are being made with the idea of to adding sufficient pressure mains take care of Ogden needs for a long time to come, it is announced. Mr. who do Schryber states that those connections service have now not gas are invited to make application for such connections at the company! sales rooms, and these applications will be filled in the order in which they are received. According to Mr. Schryber, the popularity of gas as a household fuel increasing all over the country.convenlike the advantages in ience and economy which gas service gives them. Among these advantages, it is noted, is the fact that gas is the quickest fuel known, giving practical en ly instantaneous heat in any degree wanted. With gas there is no waiting. In such activities as cooking this advantage is and a big one and is appreciated by the modern woman. ' Improvements in gas appliances have been remarkable in the past few years, said Mr. Schryber. Todays gas ranges are so designed that very little attention need be paid by the woman during the cooking of a meal; automatic regulators control the beat with scientific precision. In fact, some of the newest type gas ranges actually cook with the gas turned off, it is said, requiring only a few minutes' of the oven before the rood is placed in for cooking at which time the gas is completely shut off and the cooking done on retained heat. This effects a remarkable saving in fuel, it is declared. For heating water in the summer is the last time, a gas water-heatword in convenience and efficiency. Various types of these appliances are available to suit every requirement, said Mr. .Schryber. Perhaps the most amazing achievement of science in the field of home comforts and convenience is the gas refrigerator. This is an entirely automatic affair, containing no machinery or parts to get out of order, and requiring no attention whatever. By means of a tiny gas flame, an intense rold is produced by a special liquid This liquid sealed in a container. never dries up and never needs replacing.

It is pointed out that a letter sent over the route in the first regular airmail plane will be treasured as a souvenir and that a much closer tie can be established between Salt Lake and the territory receiving the new service. Letters may be sent to Brigham City, Cache valley, Pocatello, and all the country north to Butte, Helena, Great Falls and all the surrounding cities and towns of these central points. Letters to cities not located directly on the route will be dispatched on the first trains from the nearest airmail stops. iiim-Hs- Franchise Hearing Rallying to the defense of the city commission in any attempt of the fire ?ffltion upon me, I would feel duty ?u totouse every endeavor to bring our ticket in the' coming country and to learn the habits of t of $20.0(ii'.75 to the by members of the county commission nl (her regular meeting WeJnesdny.

Thia remarkable record seems even more remarkable when one considers that each car is iced separately depending on the amount of ico left in the tanks at the time. The tanks are filled to the top and the large cakes broken off when necessary. While the huge icing plant is using 00 tons of ice daily at present servicing about 500 to 550 eastbound cars, the peak load will come in September when the California grapes begin to move. Grape shipments will increase the daily schedule up to 1100 to 1200 cars, requiring nearly 20,000 tons of ice in a single month. The peak load during the grape season taxes the hugo icing plant to full capacity. The daily output of 421 tuns has to be augmented from (he winter storage of 21,000 tons. Icing of the car is done simultaneously on four tracks at once from two loading platforms. A force of 85 men ia employed at the plant. The heavy fruit shipments east necessitate the return of an equal number of empty refrigerator cars westward, nearly 600 cars passing through Ogden daily over the Southern Pacific. The new switches and running-ou- t tracks now being laid in the yards will lessen the congestion at the icing plant during the busy months, it was stated. 300-pou- n, Pioneers Honored At Reception and Junior Ag Club Boys In Park Programs To Tour Yellowstone Juniqr Farm Bureau A g club boys will consider themselves doubly repaid for their seasons work when they pile their luggage in a truck at jlhe Weber high school August C, and head northward with Lava Hot Springs, Yellowstone Fark and the Jackson Hole country as their objectives.

He was released on a $20.00 bond. In striking contrast to the recepfirst pioneers to Utah in 1847, the Weber county chapter, Daughters of the Pioneers, entertained 190 early settlers in the ballroom of the Hotel Bigelow Tuesday.

At Lorin Farr park, the exercises opened at 11 oclock, wiLh addresses by David J. Wilson and City Commissioner Fred E. Williams. Following the addresses many of the attendants enjoyed luncheon in the shade of the trees, and in the afternoon a program was given which appealed to both the young and the aged. At Liberty park, J. Rueben Clark, of Salt Lake, was the orator, and hia address, dealing particularly with the early pioneers and their labors, was much enjoyed. Here, as at Lorin Farr park, luncheon was served beneath the trees at noon and the luncheon was followed by a program of games, contests, music, etc., in the afternoon. tion of the True Christianity is Real Peacemaker Sen.

"Ramsey McDonald, the great English statesman, recently informed me that the world needs a political Shakespeare, Senator King continued "who knows the needs of the people and can read the hearts of the world. He does not need to be a poet. "Shakespeare understood human be- ings, the unselfishness of some and wisdom and glory of others. "We boast that great culture and great learning will save the nation. Greece developed a culture that challenged every country of the world. Do you find conditions in America as well as they are in other parts of the world? We need something as an anchor.
