sOnality. She was born in Wales in
1859, and her parents arrived in Utah
when she was but years old.
Mrs. Cannon is an example of one who
has great ambition and native vigor
enough to direct ali her enegies to the
contamination of her aims. At Ann
Arbor she attended lectures and was
given the degree of doctor of medicine.
Later she received from the University
OF Pennsylvania the degree of bachelor
of science, and was graduated from
the national school of oratory as bach
elor of oratory.
On her return Mrs. Cannon resumed
the practice of medicine, and was made
resident physician of the Deseret hos
pital She became the wife of Angus
NJ Cannon, and soon afterward went
on an extensive trip to Europe, where
her knowledge of medicine was aug
mented by observation. Recently she
received the appointment of trustee of
the institution of the deaf and dumb.
Among Mrs. Cannon's numerous gifts
is considerable oratorical power, and
she has been a strong and puissant
leader among the women of her state.
She has also been an active and effect
i've champion of Democracy.

which has supplied thousands with

The editorial continues: This revo .

dream of regarding it as anything but
an eligible quantity in such a connec-

templated can only create a temporary

TRADE REVIEW.
No Hating in the Advance of Bus
mess in the East.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-R. G. Dun
& CO. S Weekly Review of Trade" in
it's issue tomorrow will say:
There is no halting in the advance.
Business grows better in all ways, for
while it's speculative end breaks con-
spicuous gamblers for decline, a
steady increase in promotion, working
force and power of the people to pur-
chase is the feature which overshadows
all others.
Reports of New York trade unions
show an increase since one year ago
Of 81 per cent. in the number of men
at work, and a similar increase among
men in like positions throughout the
country would exceed $40, ,000 while
every week adds many establishments
to the active list. A gain of II per
cent. in one month in the output Of
pig iron from 1903 tons August 1st,
to 1S5, ,507 September 1st, with the
knowledge that half a dozen other fur
naces are preparing to resume and the
unsold stocks have been reduced A.
400 tons weekly in August, indicating
a consumption of about 10000 tons
more, explains the moderate advance
in prices of finished products.
Wheat has risen cents the past
week, not in furry, but in answer to
the daily increasing foreign demand.
Though REPORTS of the crop, now
almost wholly out of danger, in
dicatcs a yield never surpassed
but once, foreign accounts still
strengthen the belief that the de-
ficiency abroad would be about 100,-
100000 bushels more than usual, and
meanwhile reports indicate that less
corn than was expected will be avail
able for export, and its price has risen
about 5s of a cent.
While wheat receipts at Chicago have
been breaking records, receipts at all
the Western points are for the week a
little below last years, but Atlantic ex-
ports, 9.71S.1 .137 bushels, flour insluded,
against 4270,T55 last year for two
weeks, with 5,579, I'll bushels of corn,
against 1910, 700 last year, indicate a
foreign demand apparently limited at
present only by ship room.

The Vessel "Nipped" Between Two
Ice Packs and Was Totally
Wrecked-Story OF a Tragedy
Which Occurred in Northern
Waters.

SEATTLE, Sept. 10 - The whaling
| bark Nevarch is reported to have been
crushed in the ice near Point Barrow
some months ago. The news was
brought TO st. Michael by the revenue
cutter Bear, which arrived at that
place shortly after the Cleveland sail
ed. The Bear put into st. Michael to
land Captain Whiteside, his wife and
two officers and four seamen of the lost
whaler, and the survivors of the dis
aster tell terrible tale of suffering.
The Bear saw signals of distress fly
ing near Point Barrow and Immediately
put into the pack The remnant of the
Nevarch's crew were found camped
there, and all hands We're taken on the
cutter.
Thirty-one of the Nevarch's crew are
said to have been frozen to death and
crushed in the ice. Eleven are said to
be missing.
The Nevarch was ''nipped' between
two ice-packs and totally wrecked.
The Nevarch was owned by Messrs.

! here for the north last March to join
the whaling fleet. She was a compare
lively new vessel, and was built at
New Bedford.
The particulars of the fearful loss
of life which followed the unfortunate
ship were not obtained by either the
passengers on the Cleveland or her
crew. They left st. Michael two hours
after the nine survivors were brought
in by the revenue cutter Bear, and
We're too busy getting ready for their
own journey to obtain the full story.
AS much of it as they know is con-
tanned in the brief summary above and
a few additional facts
After the steamer became jammed in
the ice there must have been part Of
the crew which decided to get out by
making their way across the ice. There
were thirty-one of these and they per-
ished. Eleven more froze to death on
the boat, leaving nine survivors. These
nine consist of Captain A. C. White

COMMANDER B0OTH-TUCKER.
THE SALVATION ARMY LEADER
COMING TO CALIFORNIA.
Will Put Into Operation the Plan
to Bring Out a Colony of
Home Seekers.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-COmmander
Booth-Tucker will start tomorrow for
California to inaugurate his first col
ony under the auspices of the Salvation
Army.
The Commander in an interview said
that several wealthy citizens of San
Francisco have raised $4,000 for the
organization of a colony from the peo-
pie of the city on the lines proposed by
him. 1t is stipulated that the colony
should be planted in California, as it
was not deemed desirable to reduce the
population of the Golden State.
After I have finished my business
in San Francisco" said the Command
er, Il shall go to Denver to make ar
rangement for the first colony to so
from New York.
The Consul, Mrs. Booth-Tucker, will
meet me in the Colorado city, and
there we will be in consultation with
capitalists and railroad men. We have
been offered land in twenty States, but
the spot chosen will probably be in
Southern Colorado.
After we have taken up the land
and made other preparations we will
return TO New York. Here we will
capitalize the colonies, for we intend
to have many of them, and L have as
surances that the money will be forth
coming as a desira BILE business ven
ture.
The first colony will cost 100000.
We have many applicants from would
be colonists, and, best of all, some of
them with a little money"
Does General Booth, the head of the
army, approve of the plan?''
Heart and soul. l made a. flying
trip over the ocean to lay it before
him, and it has his earnest approval.
The cclonists will relieve the pressure
in New York, and even the almshouses
I expect win give up some men not lost
to ambition
Have any New York capitalists Of
feTed to assist you?"
Yes; l have been encouraged, but L
am not at liberty to talk about that
now. When We return to Denver we
will hold big meeting and boom the
idea
