Some of the Short Lines New EQuip-
ment is Arriving in
Salt Lake.

A local railroad man tells of an inter-
esting incident that occurred on the
Great Northern, near Havre, during the
recent flood of the Milk river. The high
, waters had carried away the railroad
bridge at that point and Superintendent
Davis of Great Falls was advised of the
catastrophe and Immediately left with
the work train for the scene of the acct
dent. His private car was put ahead of
the engine, presumably because he wish
ed to be the first on the ground, and the
speed that the train made was of a rec
o~rd-breaking character. The clip was so
fast that they were near Hayre before
they knew it and before The engineer
could stop the train the private car of the
superintendent mad been pushed into the
water. Everyone in it, except the porter,
jumped when they saw what was about
to happen, n landed On terra firma. The
car was Wrenched loose from it's coup
ling, it's trucks dropped off and the coach
bed foated gracefully down the river.
The porter managed to chamber to the top
of the car and about that time the car
began to turn and the porter, by some
very active work managed to keep IN the
! portion of the revolving car furtherest
from the water. The car f1oated down

hours after the mishap, the porter was
rescued.
S. F. Adams, consulting engineer of a
southern railroad, arrived in the city
! from New York this morning.
superintendent of Motive Power James
F. Dunn of the Short Line has returned
! from a four weeks visit to eastern cities,
| where he has been to look after the heavy
orders for rolling stock recently placed
by his road, says the Salt Lake Herald.
1t will be remembered that the Short
Line, some weeks ago, decided to supply
itself with a number of new engines, local
and box cars.
To this within the past few weeks was
added an order for four more engines,
five chair cars and three passenger
! coaches. Mr.. Dunn found the work pro-
| crossing in an entirely satisfactory man
! ner. He expects the orders to begin ar
| living within the next few days.
Two engines have already reached the
] local shops. They were connected up on
! Friday and sent out to be limbered up.
: Two more We're due last night.
/ Mr.. Dunn says he found all the manu-
! featuring plants rowde with work. Few
of them are able to keep anywhere near
up with their contracts, and orders are
| filed as they come in, to be filled when
ever their turn comes. One firm is busy
preparing a large consignment of struc-
1 tural iron for. Africa. Others are making
heavy exports to Europe and other coun-
1 tries.

and desirable class of settlers. The Ute
Indians are entitled, under the law OF
1895, to 374 allotments out of the entire
