KEARNS FAVORS CANAL
viii Ask Congress For Appropri-
alton For Preliminary Survey
Work For Eastern Utah.

Senator Thomas Kearns IS deeply in
terested in the proposition to reclaim
arid lands in eastern Utah by means Of
canal which viii tap the Grand river
in western Colorado. &. Fitch of the
photographic department OF the gov
eminent brought the matter to the sen
ator's attention, and ne will do all he
can TO further the project.
At the coming session of congress,
said Senator Kearns. II viii endeavOi
to secure an appropriation to cover the
cost of surv eying a route for the canal.
1t is not possible to say how long the
canal win be, or how much land can
be reclaimed until the surveys ara
made and the reports completed.
L would like 10 see the work done
at the earliest possible moment. for
there is vast area of land in the
eastern prt of the state that could be
brought under cultivation by irriga-
ton. At present the waters Of the
Grand river are doing little or no good
to anybody
LAS soon as the senate convenes J
expect to present my request for the
survey appropriation. If the plan IS
found TO be feasible appropriations for
construction work viii be asked and
the canal built along the line that "
result in the reclamation of the gre
est possible area"

Select Appliances.
Within a short time the three Har-
rimaa lines entering Utah will spend
millions of dollars for machinery alone
In carrying out one of the most extern
sive campaigns of improvement ever
mapped out in raiIroading, a tremen-
dous fortune is to be spent for this
single item of machinery The Ore
gon Short Line and the Union Pacific
have already undertaken the erection
of splendid new shops at PocatelIo and
at Omaha. and later magnificent new
shops are to be built at Salt Lake for
the Short Line. Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific
In order to select the best machinery
obtainable. a committee of three mas
ter mechanics has been picked out by
the Union Pacific and the Short Line.
This committee is now on its way
east. where it will spend some time
determining the best machinery for
every purpose. d. j. Malone of Poca-
tello. master mechanic of the Idaho
and Montana divisions has been select
ed to represent Superintendent of Mo-
tive Power Dunn of the Short Line on
this committee. The Union Pacific is
represented by two men from the
Omaha headquarters.
The Pocatello shops will be equipped

the equipment will include a latest i'm

COMPROMISE IS EXPECTED.
Settlement of San Pedro-Short Line
Fight Predicted.

OCkSANAAChS VI SoetA1 GEOIO-0nOIL Line
Fight Predicted.
An impression IS growing in many
quarters that a compromise between
the Oregon Short Line and the San
Pedro will soon be announced. Along
these lines, the Los Angeles Herald
discussing z. H. Harriman's recent
election to the presidency of the South
ern Pacific, says:
Probably the most noticeable phase
of Mr.. Harriman's character, as a rail-
way manager, is his preference for
harmonious relations with competitors.
He is not a lighter He believes in
the theory that money and energy ex-
pended in fighting would be more SER
viceable If used in improving railway
service. 1t will not be surprising
therefore, if the news soon comes that
the project for extending the Oregon
Short Line to Los Angeles has been
abandoned. Mr.. Hartman is not like
ly TO sanction the building of an ex-
pensive railway to practically parallel
the Los Angeles & Salt Lake route
1t is much more probable that he will
favor an amicable arrangement with
the managers of that road, transfer
ring so much of the Short Line extern
sion as may be available, ana secur-
ing the eastward traffic of the Los
Angeles & Salt Lake railway"

TO KILL BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
Mr.. oxnard's View of the Trusts
Latest Move.

Latest
san Francisco, oct. Accommodating
today on the reduction of the price of
sugar in the Missouri river market by
the sugar trust. Henry T. Oxnard,
president of the American Beet sugar
sssocia ton. defined it as another move
TO crush out beet sugar production in

opposition

tories I'm Michigan and other sections

trust tries to deceive the public by
claiming that the beet producers can
still make money at the low price it is
trying to establish. This is false and
If ii had been true, then the trust
would have tried to establish a still

The trust also attempts to justify
its action by insinuating that the beet
factories have gone out OF their right
full sphere in making refined sSg2r in
stead of raw sugar to be refined by the
trust. Independent beet sugar pro-
duCers have always made and sold re-
fined beet sugar. II would be putting
ones head in the hons jaws with a
vengeance for the beet factories to

SUGAR MARKET
Is UNSETTLED
Another Cut Made by Western
Refineries.
Mr.. CUTLER NOT ALARMED
oxNARD's VIEW OF THE SUGAR
TRUST WAR.

The sugar situation is still compli-
Gated Locally there is a feeling of
uneasiness and a wide difference of
opinion as to the effect the recent
action of the sugar trust viii have Sin
Utah T. X. Cutler. the leading sugar
man Of the state. is confident that the
sugar interests of Utah will not be
anected at all by the sensa tionaI cut
made by the trust in the Missouri
river valley. On the other hand. Henry
J. OXnard- the president of the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar association, is con-
WINGED that the recent reduction is but
one move on the part of the sugar
trust in it's settled purpose to crush out
all the beet sugar factories in the
country.
Cut by Western Rsfneries.
As If to strengthen Mr.. Oxnard's
statement, J. w. Haywood, the local
representative of the Western Sugar
Refining company. announces that he
proposes to protect the local interests
Of his concern against this action of
the trust. With this in view he an
nounces that on Monday morning next
the price Of all grades Nf cane sugar
will decline twenty points. ard all beet
sugar thirty points. This is a new
move. Up to this time the difference
in the price Of the cane and the beet
sugar has been 10 cents per sack This
ldsL announcement makes the Qluer-
enCe 20 cents per sack. Mr.. HeyWOOd's
circular gives the price OF beet sugar
in san Francisco at $40; This with
the 70 cents freight added, would make
the price here S495- The cane sugar
viii be $40 in San Francisco and $5.15
here.
But the most significant statement
in Mr.. HeywoOds circular Is this;
Prices are not guaranteed against de-
cline while sugar is in transit" This
IS taken to mean that radical changes
are looked for at any moment, and is
proof of tine unsettled condition Of the
sugar market.
Cutler Not Alarmed.
I. r. Cutler was seen in his Office
IN the city yesterday and asked for
his views on the situation in the light
OF recent developments.
Il am not particle alarmed," he
said. and his manner backed up his
words. In the first place. he saio,
THE trust is not furnishing the sugar
az the low price. I got a telegram to-
day from our representative In Kansas
City. the Meinrath Brokerage COM
pany. stating that there as a sugar
famine there. and urging me to rush
forward all the sugar possible at the
old prices In the next place I am OF
the opinion that this cut is a move OF
the sugar trust against the American
Beet Sugar company. That organiza-
ton guaranteed prices for the season,
and this move. of the trust will knock
the ground right from under it. The
war will not affect us here in Utah at
all There may be a reasonable cut in
prices but IL Will not be due tC the
action of the trust"

BULLET FIRED BY RECKLESS BOYS
HITS WOMAN AND CAUSES A PANIC

The reckless firing of a gun in the
near vicinity of a residence came near
resulting last night in serious injury
to Mrs. Sophia Reesor, who lives at
1893 West South Temple street. While
standing in her doorway a bullet. sup
posed to have been fired by careless
boys. struck her. penetrating her
clothes and bruising the flesh of her
body. but fortunately doing no serious
damage. Mrs Reesor tainted from the
Shcck. and there was much excite
ment aroused in the neighborhOod for
a while by the belief that she had
been murdered. A message was imme-
diately sent TO the police station that
a woman had been shot, and some of
the neighbors ran toward the Jordan
river. from which direction the bullet
seemed to have come. and cOllared two
boys, who were found with revolvers.

ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT,
Will Make the Survey if Petition
Approved.


How will the government interest
itself in the diversion OF the Grand
river into eastern Utah for irrigation
purposes?" repeated c. II. Fitch of the
government photographic service last
night. The only way possible will be
through a petition filed on the part OF
the people. If the petition finds ap-
prevail the government will make the
surveys and investigations as TO the
feasibility. regardless of whether the
work is contemplated by the state or
private interests. A canal starting in
Mesa county. Colorado. and carrying
the waters now wasted westward into
Utah is of, sufficient public interest TO
secure the assistance Of the govern
ment in determining its feasibility. As
I understood the proposition. it is not
intended to dig the canal to any par
ticular stream, but to depend upon ir-
rigation and evaporation to exhaust
the water supply.
y went to see State Engineer DOre-
mus today in relation to the project,
but did not have an opportunity to talk
with him on the subject I understand
he is in favor of it. however

Mrs Reesor had in the meantime been
taken into her house. and an exani-

had not done any more damage than
TO bruise the skin

shooting We're turned over to the off,

Mcleod and Narius Parry. They ad-
mitted that they had been shooting
with 81 and 3S-calibre guns. but de-
clared that they never shot in the di-
rectIon Of the Reesor house. They
stated that two others boys across the
creek had shot in the direction of the
house, and had been warned by them
to stop. Upon the condition that the
boys would strive TO learn the identity
of the other two they We're released.
