"I have always been sn advocate of railroad building, ao that this greater activity In railroad build ing at thU time, which I noticed In this morning's Bee, Is especially pleasing to me. Although Ogden Is my home, I am enthusiastic over the future of Salt Lake City. With 1U natural unequalled sur rounding country and the new roads build ing Into the town In such numbers It ts really hard to keep track of them. Salt Lake City is the coming city In the west and during the next five years will see prosperity not enjoyed by any other city. . "For forty-eight years my eyesight was bad. In an unguarded moment I stepped off a train eighteen years ago near Green River and waa In a comatose state for over a month, but with the return of reason my eyesight came to me, and now at 86 yeara of age I am able to read the finest print without glasses." .

City Clerk Elbourn says th registration books are In such shape that the registra tion of September 19, which haa been de clared invalid by Judge Troup, can be mad over without much inconvenience. He an ticipated a decision of the kind and had the books made large enough so they could ac commodate many more names of voters than exist. "Registration boards will be Instructed to cross out the name of men who registered th first day when these men appear and register again," says the city clerk. "If there la no reappearance the names will not be Crossed off and will be allowed to stand. This will be In the nature of a precaution to protect the registration and election ofll cera in caae cttlxens maintain that one having registered in good faith they have a right to vote. Inasmuch as the supreme court haa not passed on the point I think It wise to provide for all possible contin gencies."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Viuoari Atnu Bunds Good Cbi.ct of So Tirltg Tkii Witter. TOO MANY OBSTACLES IN THE VXAY Street la Sorely la een of Isivrerc meat, bat Engineer Are flare Winter Will Hess OaT the Work. Residents on Missouri avenue may Just aa well make up their minds now that no paving will be laid on that thoroughfare this year. New obstacles come to light every day. At present the Omaha Water company Is moving fire hydrants to loca tions Inaide the curb lines and th tele phone and motor companies have not moved all of their polea yet. The electric light company built an entirely new line down the avenue and this work Is com pleted. Contractor McGowan has only eight men at work setting the curbing and declare that he positively cannot find men. On account of the condition of th roadway every rain waahea out some of th boxes built to mold artificial atone curbing and up to date only about half a block of curbing has been set. In talking with one Of the engineer em ployed by the city Contractor McQowan aid he would be doing well if he suc ceeded In setting the curbing to Twentieth street before outdoor work has to be sus pended. Hugh Murphy, who ha the con tract for paving, doe not have to have the paving finished until ninety days after the curbing is set. Murphy does not want to get material on the ground and then do only a small portion of the work this win ter. When he starts he wants to be In a position to push the work through to com pletion. Another cause for delay Is the Inability of the street car company to se cure heavy steel rails and other materials needed to lay a new track before the pav ing Is done. General Manager Smith expects to get this material during the winter and be ready to put down a new track when th pavers begin work In the spring. Should a heavy track be laid now the ground I so oft that the track would not remain In place and would be the source of eon stant annoyanc during the spring when th frost Is coming out of the ground. With all winter to get material together In the contractors and the street car offi cers think that there will be little If any delay when the real work of paving start In the spring. Freight Car Thieve. Monday night a freight car standing in th yards near Thirty-ninth and L street was broken Into and a quantity or mer chandise stolen. The police have arrested Tom Corbett, Ted Sullivan and Ed. Downey on suspicion of knowing something of the robbery. A thorough search or the nomes of these men was made by th police but none of the stolen property was found. Captain Shields Is confident that the plunder Is hidden in the vicinity and pro poses to continue the search. Railroad de tective patrol the yards every night but In SDlte of all precautions car are fre quently broken into and goods carried away. Damaa-e Cne Contlnned. The suit against the city brought by Leonard O. Btearn to recover S36.200 dam age was called In th district court yes terday and postponed until the February term of court.

When called from the rear of th court room to th attorneys' table yes terday Steams walked rapidly and without the aid of cane or crutches, much to the disgust of the attorney for the plaintiff and to the amusement of the attorneys representing the city.
