New Office is to be Built

Western Union Leases the Pastime Theater-goers
Office Carpenters to Arrange for Installing Most Modern Electrical Apparatus

L. McKissick, electrician of the western division of the Western Union Telegraph Co., Chicago; C. B. Horton, superintendent, Omaha, Neb., and A. A. Gargan, assistant superintendent, Denver Colo., who arrived in Ogden, yesterday, completed arrangements for starting work on the new Western Union office.  A lease has been taken on the old Pastime Theater building and men were put to work this morning getting matters in shape for a corps of expert office carpenters and electricians who will arrive in Ogden tomorrow.

To a representative of the Standard the officials stated that as the railroad situation had settled so far as Ogden was concerned, for all time, and as this was the most important point, the key, in fact, of the overland trunk wires, it was necessary that an office in keeping with this fact be maintained in Ogden.

The new plant will consist of thirteen new dynamo machines, one 75-wire switchboard, new instruments and furniture.
