If they are sincere in their of forprofessions iwhy in the name tune dont they go ahead and build it? Why didnt they build it two years ago when they got the franchise and pracasked tically everything else they from the city council? Talk about the ways of the heathen Chinese for that things that are dark and tricks are vain, the heathen are not in it in men. comparison with the railroad what Nobody knows most of the time is very they are driving at, and it half themselves doubtful if they know the time. There has been more talk, more writing, and more fuss about Lake building a union station in Salt than over the building of Rome and there is no depot yet. Nevertheless the chief aim and object of life to the railroad officials appears to be the It looks to building of this depot. Xbutii as if the Rio Grande Western was acting in good faith in the matter and that the Oregon Short Line wasn t. The Short Line was to blame for the project falling through a couple of years ago and it looks as if it was playnow. ing the dog in the manger policy deof Union depots or any other kind pots cant be built by talk. The only way to build a depot is to go ahead and build it and its time the railroad people quit talking and got to work. If they cant get to work, they at least can quit talking which would be some relief. There is however more in the attitude of the Short Line thari 'appears on the surface. That line wants the depot built on the east side of 4tli West street and First South, that location afto fording better ingress and egresssite the Line than the Short original on 3rd West, on which the Rio Grande Western proposes to build. As both reads declare themselves just pining to build, the result may be two rival passenger stations, not very far apart which would be just about as good for the public as a union station. gben Ogden, April 11. The annoure-me- nt that George Hansen is goi: .r to be a sure enough candidate for o,,n gress, although anticipated for noue time, nevertheless came as a rude shock to the- Glasmannites. ITeivto-fo- re George has been only a posable dark horse and very little importance was attached to his aspirations. The "machine has directed all of its energies to Geo. Sutherland and the good will of Senator Kearns is in that direction, so when ."Me too Harrington wrote his epistle, the Glasmann push just laffed. But you see Geo. Hansen comes originally' from Millard county, that political hot-be- d that produced Charlie Crane, Wm. If. King and all the other one-terstatesmen and whatever may be said about the sagacity of tne "Standard Ring, still they are superstitious to a man, and hence Hansens origin scares them. ft ft Knowing ones on the inside say that our last letter so pleased Bill that he has decided to quit the Standard and give his whole attention to the duties of his office as mayor. He says that since Truth has stated that lie will go to Congress if he does as well iu the future as he has since St. Patricks day, that henceforth he will become a disciple of TKUTn and not attempt to toot his own hprn through the medium of his own columns. Good for you Bill. If anything can elect you Truth can. It is mighty and will prevail. ft ft This department offers an apology to Browning. In last week's issue he was erroneously represented as the former mayor of Ogpen who attempted a salary grab of $G00. Boyle was the person who sued the city and Mayor Browning caused the action to be defended and finally the case was adjudicated in favor of the city. By inadvertence Mr. Brownings name in the Ogden ' letter was substituted for Mr.. Boyles which the writer very much regrets. - m Ex-May- Bhowed good sense and business judg- ment in refusing to enter into a compact with the city and the other canal companies to spend $30,000 on an apparatus for pumping water from .Utah lake into the Jordan river. The action of. the North Jordan company will in all probability defeat the scheme, and the city should be grateful to the North Jordan company for so doing. Just why the other canal companies should be made participants at a merely nominal cost in the benefit of the water appropriation made in Utah lake on behalf of the of city is not apparent, and why any them should go into a plan to erect a pumping plant which would be almost valueless is even more obscure. It would be very good for the parties who have the pumps and engines to sell, but for nobody else. much regrets an error which occurred in the Ogden letter last Browning week in which sued as Ogden having was referred to salfor due be to $C00 alleged city for as a ary and which was designated disallowed salary grab and as such was by the State Supreme court. the city Boyle was the person who sued Truth very Ex-May- or Ex-May- or or .

On last Saturday morning the first lesson was given at the University in the domestic science rooms. The lesson was on salads, and was received with intense interest by the large class in attendance. The ladies in charge are assured of success in the venture. It is the hope of this committee to establish a school of domestic science in connection with the Utah university, and they are formulating plans by which they may realize their hopes. |
