Show THE RAILWAY AND LIGHT SALE. ; The change in the ownership of the great railway tmd light corporations in this city and Ogden is a ; 3aost important transaction. The local company for -fc long time has been in the position of a -man who spends so much money, in building a house that he has not a cent left foi either furniture or coal. j We believe that the company has done the best it v could, and that Mr, Campbell as manager has, with the means At his commandt done as faithful, 'untus Ing and competent work as any man could. We all expect; that the service will be greatly improved. It Is understood that all the money: needed for that ' purpose is on hand, but it will require a vast, sum to make the system first-class. And right here a word of appreciation is due Hon. A. W. McCune. Hejtook hold of the business when the cars were pony cars end th propelling power was made up of attenuated Spanish mules. Whojdpes not remember those days f Mr. MfCune took. hold and put' $750,000 into the system, transforming it. We believe that up to the time of the death of. his son Vivian, his purpose was ' so soon as the Peruvian mines reached a greatly paying pay-ing basis, to return here and make of the Salt Lake street jar system a monument to his energy and pub-. pub-. lie spirit. We do not know that this is true ; we only put this and that together and make a guess, and that the thought in his mind is not one of regret over the sale but of regret that the people of this region may never know how he had planned to prove to . them. his loyalty to the city and his capacity to per-" per-" form a great work.
