Railroad News.

Omaha, Oct 3-UIion Pacific Off
Gals are eagerly watching for an en-
largement of the system, which they
feel sure will take place within the
next fortnight. The annual meeting of
the Oregon Short Line will be held in
Salt Lake City next week, and it is
freely predicted that it will be the last
annual meeting of the independent
corporation to be held. Among the
Union Pacific officials who will attend
the Short Line meeting are General
Counsel Winslow S. Pierce, Director T.
Jefferson Coolidge (also a director of
the Short Line), President Horace c..
Burt and General Manager Edward
Dickinson.
Whether the Short Line will be OPP
Grated from Omaha, as formerly, is an
unsettled question. 1t is said that this
matter will be lone of the mooted
points to be settled before the absorp-
ton of the branch by the parent line
takes place.
The absorption of the Julesburg
branch of the Union Pacific, Denver &
Gulf road did not take place on Oct. l.
as was previously expected, on account
of the intricacies of the financial and
legal status of the problem. But. it is
anticipated by those who ought to
know, that the Union Pacific will be
running it's trains between Omaha and
Denver over its own rails within 60
days.
1.-THE Union Pacific officials are COM
ing here to attend the annual meeting
of the Union Pacific which will be
held here. The Union Pacific is doing
business under d charter granted by
the laws of Utah.-Ed. Herald.l

FREE AID FOR THE SANTA FEE.
Some Advertising Not Included In
the Regular Contract

Chicago, Oct. 3.-The Santa Fe road
has made arrangements to light all the
cars o. It's limited train running be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles, a dis
lance of 2.245 miles, with electricity,
evolved from the friction of the car
aXles. The electric equipment of each
train will aggregate 1925 candle power
All berths VIII be pro . ded with berth
lights, and this will be the first train
in the world carrying such large sup
ply of light service exclusively from
the car aXles. 1t is the intention, also,
to light the locomotive headlight from
the same service, thus making the four
limited trains solid axle light trains
throughout.
The introduction of this system on
the limited trains will mark quite a
departure from previous practice,
which necessitated a large light plant
il the baggage car. The objection to
this plan is that if the baggage car
meets with an accident, or the plant is
out of order, the entire light outfit of
the train is deranged. In the axle light
system such thing cannot happen
Each car has it's own plant, which is
small, but compact and complete, con-
sistlng of dynamo and storage battery

Assistant City Attorney Stewart yes
terday filed an answer in the suit Of
II. H. Peterson to recover for extra
work while in the city's employ. The
answer simply makes a denial of every
material allegation set up by Peterson,
and nothing is said to indicate the citys
defense.
II is understood, however, that the
city will endeayor to show that Peter
son and Cottle didn't work eight hours
day even. Reliable information has
it that the gentlemen named spent only
a portion of their time in the canyon
and the biggest part stayed at their
homes. Thus the party having the night
shift would go up into the canyon
about O'Clock, stay fer a few hours
and then go home and sleep till next
morning. OF course, on the day shift
they might have put in fun time once
in while, BAT they are likely to have
to prove that they spent the over
time alleged in the actual service of
the city before they can recover. g.

MORE WATER FOR THE CITY
COMPARATIVE DATA ESSENTIAL
BEFORE ANYTHING Is DONE.
"The Rainmakers" Discuss the Plan
of Making Reservoirs and Ex-
changing Water With Farmers.

AS a result of last nights meeting of
the city councils special committee on
search for more water, it ought to rain
again today. Without jesting, however,
the committee really accomplished some
thing ia the direction of procuring an
adequate supply of water from new
sources for next summers requirements.
The committee reached that point in its
deliberations where it could no longer
defer favorably considering the PROPOSE
ton to instruct the city engineer to OBJ
tain all necessary facts and comparative
da-a pertaining TO satisfactory soiu-
ton of the water problem. Without dis
sent, the committee agreed to report
TO the city council, recommending that
the city engineer be directed to make
necessary measurements of and surveys
from the several canyon creeks flowing
from the east mountains, to investigate
irrigation and power plant rights, TO eX-
plot the condition and future efficiency
OF the JORDAN canal, to look up reservoir
sites and generally TO make inquiry into
all desirable propositions with view
toward determining the best and most
advantageous method of increasing the
citys water supply al a minimum cost.
A RESERVOIR PLAN.
Prior to the committees conclusion to
call for the desired comparative data,
ATTORNEY J. NJ. Thomas for himself and
on behalf of II. b. Cole, addressed the
meeting with reference TO their PROPOSE
ton TO sell reservoir site at the mouth
OF Little Cottonwood canyon and tribu-
tary or feeding lakes back in the noun
tains- For a consideration of $1,000
MeSSrS. Thomas and Cole will transfer to
the city their government filing and To-
cation claim on the reservoir site and
lakes. Mr.. Thomas explained how, by
building dam 800 feet long at the top.
SO feet across the bed of the canyon bed
and 20 feet high lake 40 acres in area,
with an average depth of 60 feet, could
be made. The deep lakeletS, aggregating
105 acres in area, could be made to store
water in the spring time for filling the
reservoir.
The feasibility of this plan was not
discussed at anV great length, neither
was any mention made of the advisa bility
of adopting it, nor Of the probable cost
of piping the water to the city after it is
stored in the reservoir.
CANAL WATER TRADE.
Various members of the committee
made reference to the proposition to eX-
change canal water for a portion of the
flow of Mill creek and Big Cottonwood
creek and piping the farmers canyon
water to the city, but all agreed that as
matters now appear from the conflicting
rights of claimants and power plant To-
cations, little advantage would accrue
from the suggested trade. Particularly
Mill creek, and it was practically dis
missed from consideration.
Reference was made to the fact that
the city is not getting its sixth of water
from the Jordan river through the canal,
but since the irrigation committee has in
ing weir at the intake. the subject was
left open for the future. as indeed were
all the subjects discussed by the COM
mittee.

SUFFERING AT HAVANA.
Spanish Officials Procrastinate While
the People StarVe.


Washington, Oct "a private letter
from an American citizen in close touch
with the Cuban military commission in
Cuba states that great suffering exists
in Havana for lack of food. People are
starving, some dying on the streets,
and many others who are unable to go
out and beg, die in the houses. There
is a great number of this latter class.
All the while this was going on the
Spanish authorities were refusing to
allow the Comal, with million rationS
on board, to enter Havana harbOr. The
American commissioners did a great
deal of hard work to secure the en-
trance of the vessel, and finally got per-
mission to land her supplies at Matan-
zas. The commission, the letter states,
is now making efforts to secure the ad-
mission of supplies by the Red Cross.
so that portion of the suffering might
be relievedS The commissioners, in
everything ELSE, as we'll as this, find
that they are dealing with Drocrasti-
mating men. No fault is found with
the treatment with which the commits
sioners are received personally, Span
ish authorities being very suave and
polite. but in the matter of business
plenty of time is taken.
Yellow fever is said to exist in the
city, but little fear is expressed by the
writer of the letter, who says it is not
reported as dangerous.

Condemnation Case.

Judge Hiies was engaged yesterday
in trying the case of Salt Lake coun-
ty against George Davis TO condemn a
strip of land for public highway. The
parcel involved is strip Of little more
than half an acre belonging to de-
PENDANT, and located in his orchard.
The county desires to use it for the
new highway from Murray to Holiday
and Neffs canyon. Davis resisted the
condemnation proceedings on the
ground that the road was unnecessary
and that if put through would perma-
nently damage his place.
The testimony was taken and Sat
urday next set as the date for argu-
ment.

GREAT TIDAL WAVE.
Georgia Town Inundated to a Depth
of Five Feet.

Savannah, Ga, Oct. 3.-A Brunswick
(Ga) special to the Morning News
says that during the tropical hurricane
of Saturday, tidal wave was driven
in from the sea and inundated, for an
average depth of five feet, practically
every business house and warehouse in
the city. Conservative estimates place
the property loss at half million dol
lars.
The Mallory steamship and Southern
railway docks were under water four
feet In the residence section of the
city the water was from two to eight
feet deep. There was a full sweep Of
wind and water from the ocean into
and across the city.
Two fatalities in Brunswick and one
a few miles out of the city have been
reported. Those, in the city were ne
g1o children. Their parents are miss

plant For Divorce.
An answer to the amended complaint
in the divorce suit of Lottie Birch
against her husband, Heber Birch, was
filed in the Third district court yester-

allegation made by his spouse. 1t isn't
true, he says, that he has treated her
cruelty, dragged her across the floor
or accused her of unchastity The
husband further sets up in his answer
that the divorce case was commenced
at the instigation of his wife's father
and mother, who, he alleges, have al
ways used every effort to ALLEVIATE his
Wifes affection.
The case promises to be an interest
ing one when it finally comes up for
trial, as the husband will make a stub
