evening Harry l.. Smith. recently of
Pocatello, brakeman on the Boise
branch of the Oregon Short Line.
caught his foot in a frog, fell, and all
the wheels of one car passed over his
right leg. The leg was severed below
the knee and frightfully mangled.
Smith was brought to st. Alphonsus
hospital, this city, where he died two
hours after arrival. Only month

Union Pacific Issues Some New Pam

The most interesting railroad litera-
ture relating TO Utah which has been
issued for long time is contained in
three pamphlets just published by the
Union Pacific Railroad company. They
are well worth an inspection by any
one, and copies can be obtained at the
city ticket office of the Union Pacific.
One of the pamphlets is called a jubi-
lee edition and is entitled Utah. An
idea can be obtained of the contents of
the work by the following synopsis,
given on the title page:

Wilson, Chief Moore of the weather
bureau has made public statement in
regard to the climate of Alaska. Mr..
Moore says: The climate of the coast
and the interior of Alaska are unlike
in many respects and the differences
are intensified in this as perhaps in
few other countries by exceptional
physical conditions. The fringe of is
lands that separates the main land
from the Pacific ocean, from Dixon

Northern railway was in Wall street yes

J. P. Morgan and the others in control of

now a thorough understanding between
the two systems and the strength of the

sion, which may be termed temperate
| Alaska. The temperature rarely falls
to zero. Winter does not set in until
! December, and by the last of May the
snow has disappeared, except on the
mountains.
The mean weather temperature of

of Washington, D. c. The rainfall of
temperate Alaska is notorious the
world over, not only as regards the
quantity that falls, but also as to lle
manner of its falling, viz; in long and
incessant rains and drizzles. Clouds
and fog naturally abound there, being
on an average but Sc clear days in the

North of the Aleution Islands the
coast climate becomes more rigorous
in winter, but in summer the difference
is much less marked.
THE FRIGID INTERIOR.
The climate of the interior, including
by that designation practically all of the
country except a narrow fringe of
coast margin, the territory before re-
ferred to as temperate is one of ex-
treme vigor, with but a brief summer,
especially when the sky is free from
clouds.
In the Klondyl1e region in midwinter
the sun rises from $3.50 to 10 a. m. and
sets from l TO p. m, the total length
of daylight being about four hours.
Remembering that the sun rises but
a few degrees above the horizon, and
that it is wholly obscured on a great

ENDEAvoR COMPLICATIONS.
Northern Lines Have Serious Trouble
to Contend With.

Chicago, July 3O.-After all there is
trouble with the Christian Endeavor-
ties and it is the long suffering north
ern lines which will have the demon
alization to contend with. 1t has been
ascertained that serious scalp rate
from Portland to st. Paul is being
made by manipulation of the tickets.
This has been made possible by the
failure of the conductors to punch the
continuous passage feature of the tick
cts east of the point where no stopover
privileges are allowed.
The failure has not only allowed
scalper rate between Portland and st.
Paul, but has served to stock the mar
ket at the latter point with the return
portions of these tickets, good for
transportation until Aug. Is. 1t is said
that the situation has proved serious
enough to threaten the rates between
Portland and St Paul.

Butte, Mont, July S0.-The body of
an unknown man, we'll dressed, was
found in an old abandoned mining
shaft in the southwestern part of the
city this afternoon by pTospector.
The man was evidently victim of rob-
berry and murder, as his pockets were
turned inside out and the mouth of
the shaft was nailed up after the body
was thrown in. Judging from the ad-
vanced stage of decomposition the body
has been in the shaft at least several
months.
The coroner is conducting an inquest,
but with little hope of establishing the

Agriculture Wilson will next month
make short visit to Colorado, Utah,

with the object of studying the re-
sources of this group of states for rear
ing horses suitable for the European
armies.
The secretary is taking measures to
determine exactly the qualifications
demanded by the European govern
ments for horses in the great standing
armies which are being kept equipped
ready to march over their borders at
a moments notice. The equipment Of
theScavalry makes necessary FREQUENT
purchases of large numbers of horses.
Mr. Wilson has written to the United
States ministers and has requested
certain Americans travelling abroad to
give him information regarding the
exact qualifications demanded for the
army horses of Europe
WESTERN HORSES TOO SMALL.
The only objection to the horses
raised in the west as army horses for
European countries is reported to 81
that the horses are not large enough.
The Indian pony possesses all the
qualities of health and hardness that
could be desired, and it is believed that
by proper feeding and by the introduce
ton of heavier stock, it can be brought
up to the required size.
THE SECRETARY'S VIEW.
I'VE have paid too much attention to
developing the trotting horse in this
country" said Secretary Wilson this
afternoon. THE horse that can make
a record of 2:10 is, of course. valuable,
but the three-minute horse is not worth
much. If We can grow the horse
needed to recruit the cavalry of Eu-
ropean countries, we will get a good
price for them. There is no reason
why this should not be done, think"
SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Secretary Wilson will also investigate
whatscan be done for the development
of the beet industry. Where rain falls
on the nearly matured beet its sachar-
inequalities are materially affected, so
that in that part of the country where
moisture is supplied by irrigation a
material advantage in beet culture is
gained.
Secretary Wilson will be away from
Washington about three weeks. He
will leave for the west early in August
and combine business with the pleasure
of vacation.
