building be found Business locations arc at premium and property values have gone ky f < ward Not only Is this true In the business busi-ness district but In the more desirable residence portion of

about n dozen operators This however does not Impair Im-pair the Ogden service in the least as the high salaried men are still retained re-tained here There arc now but five men in the Ogden office where there were formerly about eighteen The telephone service Is I excellent There are four wires accessible between Ogden and Salt Lake three direct and one through wire to Logan which can be used 1 here in cases of emergency Besides this Butte Cheyenne and Denver have recently been connected with the Utah systems so that nearly all intermountaln common points are reached by phone The local

Is giving a much better service than formerly A number num-ber of new vcstlbuled cars of the latest pattern have displaced the ole ones and the roadbed has been Improved During the year the Washington avenue ave-nue track was paralleled from the Og den river bridge to Twentythird street n distance of about three quarters of a mile During the year about 2500000 passengers were carried The coming of pprlrp will see the resumption re-sumption of operations on the Ogden and Hot Springs railway The Ogdon Rapid Transit company has purchased the road and the resort and will convert con-vert the former Into an electric line nnd operate it In connection with the city system This will be an improvement improve-ment long hoped for by the citizens of Ogden as It will enable them to visit I the oprlngs conveniently and as often as desired During the year the Ogden Rapid Transit company carried about 2500 000 passengers the great bulk of this tralllc being over the Glenwood Park line lne THE WATERWORKS r I The waterworks system oC Ogden City has been the cause of continued litigation for the city for the past twelve years and caused the outlay of many thousands of dollars by the citys otTorts to regain control of I The history his-tory of the deal whereby the present company came into control of the system sys-tem la familiar to all and but a review of the past years developments will suffice During the summer the Mayor and Council attempted to purchase the system tendering 45000 cash and a yumlng tho bonded Indebtedness amounting to 400000 The system was not considered to ho worth to exceed 250000 and the Councils proposition met with almost universal disfavor and through tho efforts of Councilman Jones and Carr the Treasurer was enjoined en-joined from paying the warrant issued by the City Recorder to consummate the purchase This caused a bluer en mlley between certain officials of the city and the water company and when the latter essayed to turn off the water wa-ter of delinquent consumers the entire police force augmented by twenty five special 1 police were ordered out to arrest all agejits of the company found Interfering with the water plugs This finally passed over and the next move was n proposition to lease the system from the company for a period of live years under the schedule as adopted by the Council some months ago regu ag hating and readjusting the rentals This so far has fallen through through the refusal of < tha Council to argroe to tho proposition In the meantime the fight goes merrily with a change of administration about to take place rho Republican party In Its platform resolved that it would use every effort ef-fort in its power if their candidates were elected to stop this terrible drain I on the city treasury and secure the sys tern for the city They promised lo I condemn the system and force the company com-pany to bell i to the city The people accepled those promises and every man on the Romibllcan ticket from the Mayor down was elected while the tux payers stand ready to unite with them in the overthrow of the waLer octopus The result will be watched with interest in-terest terest POWER L Ogden I is

acres of farming and grazing land of which about 10000 acres are under cultivation but with the great strides being made in the S matter of irrigation thisamount will l he doubled within the next five years The various products are hay wheat oats barley tomatoes potatoes sugar S beets and fruit all of which thrive sheltered as they are by the mountains S which surrqund the valley on two Bides Fruit heads the ILsl The soil is soi peculiarly adapted to fruit culture and among the products are peaches prunes pears apples S apricots cherries grapes plums pud all the Emaller fruits lls estimated that there arc now 000000 fruit trees In Weber county about halt of which arc bearing yielding a product valued at approximately 300000 Tomatoes too S are rapidly coming to the front an one of the lending products of the county and of northern Utah Tomatoes aver ICl age about nine tons to the acre and a half dozen canning factories in Weber county stand ready to purchase all that can be produced at from 7 to al per ton Hence It will he seen that this Industry Is 1 a most important one Slay also plays un important part Thousands of tons of luccrno part timothy hay are harvested eVen sea son the land producing about six tons to the acre of hay that finds a ready sale at an average price of 5 per ton King potato too should not be Over looked This succulent tuber thrives i like a bay tree from 200 to 400 bushels per acre being harvested yearly while carefully cultivated fields have been known to double the mentioned rlghest figure IRRIGATION Irrigation In Weber county and northern north-ern Utah Is rapidly being reduced to amore a-more scientific basis and the result are more than gratifying Until 1807 no concerted effort had ever been made to harness and store the great amount of water that every spring ran to waste In the I lake In that year the Davis and Weber Counties Canal company conS con-S delved the Idea oC erecting a dam across crectnS ln 1 East canyon of the Weber river n1OSS con vert the canyon Into a huge reservoir nnd hold the water until the late sum mer months when Itl la badly needed In the valley below rue dar was built I and n reservoir with a capacity of buit IfO 000000 cubic feet of water constructed The dam cost in the neighborhood of neishborhood o 550000 and proved a wonderful success When the streams failed to furnish their quota of water the company had only to open Its headgutes nnd turn the necessary amount Into East Canyon creek thence to the canal and branches to tho consumers A careful estimate based on the Increase and benefit tQ crops by the dam showed that It had more than paid for Itself the first year The success of the undertaking so encouraged en-couraged the company that In 1100 It was decided to enlarge the system This was clone by raising the dam twcnly five feet and enlarging the canals and laterals The work has hul recently been completed and the result Is one of the finest Irrigating systems In the entire en-tire WcsL The twentyfive foot addition addi-tion to the dam Increases Its capacity to about J75000000 cubic feet or about 22 per cent Increase In the impounding capacity This will give to all consumers consum-ers of wafer under the canal at present pres-ent a full supply of water for all needs the year around As the acreage increases in-creases as It will with the Increase In |
