This settles the fight of many years
standing as to whether sovereign grand

to give the grand lodges power to order

reported that the estimated expenses for

appropriated. This will be raised by per

NAVY MACHINISTS' GRIEVANCE
The Department Likely to Lose Its Best Men
Shortly

The Department Likely to Lose Its Best Men
Shortly
WASHINGTON Sept. 21.-AIl the ma
chinlsts OF the navy have grievance and
unless this is speedy redressed. the ser
vice is likely to be short of the best grade
OF mechanics. By the departments sys-
tenn they have been graded into three
classes, chief, first and second class ma
chinists, with pay in proportion.
According to the practice of the depart
ment a man cannot be enlisted as chief
machiniss, but must enter one of the
lower grades and await promotion. This
has brought about the result that where
a person has served faithfully for a num-
Der of years and by ability attained the
rank of chief machinist, he must, if he
desires to continue in the naval service at
the conclusion of b ID term of enlistment,
re-enlist in the lower grades. taking his
chances of again getting his old rating
as chief. and losing about 81 month I'M
til he succeeds. In the event that he
re-enlists at once, on the same shin
on which he had been serving, be suffers
no loss, as he Is immediately rated as
chief. but IN the more frequent cases
where he has to iemain for months on a
receiving ship awaiting assignment, his
loss is ION siderable.

All the Rage

SALT LAKE. Sept. 2l.-Climatic con-
ditions took sudden change last night
and this valley was visited by heavy
rain and followed by snow storm. which
broke the drouth that has prevailed since
jane. The rain of last June was very
light and rain or snow was becoming al
most necessity. The water supply of
the city, which comes from mountain
streams. was very low and was getting to
be serious question. The farmers
throughout the valley had not been able
to do any fall blowing on account of dry
weather. Is is estimated that the storm
has been worth many thousands of dol
lars to the farmers.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon there
was decided drop IN temperature and a
heavy rain set in, which lasted until 10
o'clock and then turned to snow. The
snowfall continued until noon today and
al times was accom- panied by cold
north wind. OveIooa were brought into
general use today. which is a very I'M
common thing for this season of the
year. Up to this time there has been no
frost here, and the heavy foliage covered
with snow anc the general appearance of
everything in the street made striking
scene OF genuine winter.
The storm began north of Ogden and
extended generally over the valley for
more than hundred miles south. The
first street car to Fort Douglass, on the
east branch this morning. carried q snow
pillow to clear the snow off ths track.
Telegraphc communication was tenn
porarily interrupted.
The sunshine this afternoon melted
most of tho snow in the valley, but the
mountains are covered with mantle Of
snow.

STOCKTON. Sept. 21.-The last day OF

track and struck horses and drivers in
the face. 1t was impossible to MAKE
good time, but the contests were hard
fought and the people had just as much
sport. The sensation of the day was IN
the half-mile dash, when the judges set
back the winner, Jim Bozenan, and gave
the race to the FLY sNevere. A hundred
yards from the post Bozeman ran across
in front of Nevere and accidentally
struck her, forcing her against the fence
and taking off stirfup. The COLLISION
set her back to second place. The judges
suspended the rider OF Bozeman, Walter
Gilbert, but it was said that he would be
reinstated before the day was over, as W..

the Judges that it was an accident. Joe

It was an accident. Lady Gray was the
favorite in the pools, with Nevere second
