On that statement, the court asked Mr. Walton if plaintiff would be content to take a decree generally enjoining th defendant from further violation of the law. Mr. Walton replied he would be willing to accept that a course and pay tho costs, butsuch he knew that the defendant corporation would not consent. Mr. McAllister refused to consent, stating that it would mean the merits of th case would be tried out in contempt proceedings.

Fur-Count- y, OUIZ BUREAU OPENED FOR UK Ex- A live bureau of general Information and welfare will constitute an impor tant part of the extension division of th University of Utah from now on. According to Prof. Frederick W. Rey nolds, who has charge of this important branch of university service, this bu beau does three things. It invites inquiries upon any and all subjects about which a university should supply information and will be to consider such inquiries. This prompt means that any citizen from San Juan to Box Elder is free to make use of the whether he was ever regisuniversity tered as a student or not. All'he has to do is to send in his questions and over to the proper they will be turned of th school for consid departments eration and reply. Not waiting for Inquiries this bureau to send out, through printed undertakes bulletins and popular lectures, such In formation as is of general interest and lectures by the significance. Series of and series of pop various departments ular entertainments are to b given as widely as possible. These lecjust tures and entertainments will be sent to practically any community which desires them without expense to the community other than the necessary trav eling expenses. Far from limiting Its services to pubthis bureau of the licity and discussion undertakes to send experts tiniverslty from its various departments directly to communities which need expert information and counsel concerning some immediately confronting them. problem To illustrate: It is proposed in a town or city to install a water system. The source of supply is a certain spring. Is this capable of sufficient expansion? There may be positive need here ofa advice from competent and impartial advice the university geologist. This undertakes to supply. Opportunities for service in civic and engineering in libraries, in projects, in schools, amusements, in industries are limitless. "It is our purpose," says Professor "to make the university work Reynolds, as democratic and practical as possible and to brine it home to each community. The university should be an Institution for all the people within the state and not merely for the few who can send Lake their sons and daughtersin to Salt states many City. Extension work has dwindled down to a mere name, but in Utah it is being developed Just as rapidly as possible. Dr. Wldtsoe is anxious to see it occupy a very prominent place in our stat university service." PICNIC.
