Car Shortage is Beginning to Have
Serious Effects.

Car Shortage is Beginning to Have
Serious Effects.
The car and Iocomoti-e shortage
which is having a paraiyzing effect on
eastern industries is beginning to have
serious effects in Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming. At the Kemmerer mines a
shutdown was necessary for half of
last week because of the inability of
the Oregon Short Line to get the cars
10 handle the traffic. The Rio Grande
Western is experiencing great difficulty
in handling its traffic, and conditions
are becoming worse, if anything,
rather than better.
If the local roads could depend on
their own rolling stock, the situation
might be better, out they cannot. The
demand for cars is so great in the east
that as soon as a car gets of the local
lines il might as well be bid farewell
for some time to come. The road get
ting hold Of it grabs it for use in the
eastern traffic and me local road loses
it.

here as much as they are further east.
There are even fears of a coal famine
in few months. unless the inter
mountain shortage is relieved.

Short Line has had some orders for

the general prospect Is not good. The
locomotive works are engaged now in
filing contracts entered into several
months ago. and car shops are in the
SAINT fix. The Pennsylvania company
recently placed an order for $4,000 900
worth of freight cars. and it will have
TO wait some time for most of them.

IMMENSE PLANT
FOR SH0SH0NE
twenty-five Thousand Horse
Power Project.
WORK HAS BEEN COMMENCED
PENNSYLVANIA CAPITALISTS
TO SPEND TWO MILLIONS.


It is learned from a gentleman just
returned from the north that the
Scranton, Pa, syndicate that has just
completed two big quartz mills near
HALEY to handle the ores of the HALEY
gold belt has also decided TO eXpend
great sum of money in Harvesting
the waters of Shoshone falls on the
Snake river. In fact ground has just
been broken, and early next year a
q, 000-horse power electric plant will be
installed.
1t is reported to be the intention Of
the company to carry power to the diff
feTent WOOD river camps and TO run
another line nearly due south from the
falls a distance of nearly fifty miles
to the new copper camp Of Contact,
New.
In addition. the ffteen-mile stage
route between Shoshone station, on the
main line Of the railroad, and the falls
is to be equipped with a trolley car
line FOR the accommodation and pleas
ure of tourists, and when the entire
scheme has been worked out the Scran-
ton syndicate will have expended in
the neighborhood of 100000 The
combination is said TO be a powerful
one, and its mines and mills on the
Haley gold belt alone are said to be
of sufficient importance in themselves
to warrant the building of a power
plant at the falls. forty miles distant,
fer the purpose Of securing energy to
operate the machinery in the company 5
own works.
The company it is said, is figuring on
the future, and proposes putting in a
plant that can be added to as occasion
demands till every enterprise within a
radius of 100 miles that is of sufficient
Importance to warrant it can be sup

OLD SHACK FIRED.
Incendiary Blaze Partially Destroys
Rendezvous of TouShs.

Incendiary Blaze Partially Destroys
Rendezvous Of TouShs.
The deserted shack in the rear of the
Board of Trade building in which FIVE
boys and two girls were arrested by
the police a few days ago was partially
destroyed last night BY fire that is
thought to have been of incendiary
origin The fire did damage to the
extent OF about $50. but the timely
arrival Of the department prevented
further loss.
The house which was a three
roCmed building. has been vacant for
months until it was converted into a
house Of immortality by the youths who
were arrested there. Early last night
flames were noticed in the rear of the
building and an alarm was turned in.
When the fire department arrived the
flames had spread over the rear wall,
but a line of hose was laid from the
chemical and within a few minutes the
fire was out.
Chief Devine believes someone set
the house on fire, as the blaze had evil
IDENTIFY been kindled from the outside
The firemen are inclined TO think that
someone wanted to destroy the place
to prevent its use again for the pur-
pose for which it has been used lately.
The house is apparently worth about
$780, but Chief Devine was unable 10
learn last night to whom it belonged.

SPENT 100000
IN SALT LAKE
Tourists Estimated to Have Left
That Amount.
FIGURES FOR FIVE MONTHS
AT LEAST 10000 VISITORS
STOPPED II THE CITY.

Nearly $1,000 tourists visited Salt

The Rio Grande Western. The figures

their way to and from California. AS
the greater rUmber OF Salt Lake Wis
itors go through to the coast, it is be-
lieyed by passenger men that $1,000
would be a very Conservative estimate
OF the number Of persons who were
guests of salt Lake during the five
months. This does not take into con
sideratiOn the numbers wko visited
the state on business.
Taking 10000 as the number OF tour
lists visiting Salt Lake, and so as the
a. sTage amount spent by each, 100000
has been spent in the city by outsiders
during the five months.
Preparations are being made TO boom

About year ago the interstate COM

freight from the Pacific coast TO Den
yer than from the coast to Missouri
river points on any commodity except

ways in their schedule of east-bOund
tariffs from the coast made the rate
to Denver from 100 to 500 per cent

today are on an order issued by the
commission against the Southern Pa
clhc and Santa Fe companies to show
cause why they have not put the equal

A letter received yesterday by Sec
rotary Axton of the Y NJ c. A. brings
the information that Robert Prideaux,
the young man who came near losing
his life while making a dive at Cald-

right mind and is now rapidly getting
well. To those who saw young Pri-

viii seem almost incredible, but the
letter, which comes from the young
mans home in Benton Harbor Mich,
is written by himself
The letter states that a few days
ago his father brought an Old COM
rade of his to the house, and the shock
of seeing him unexpectedly, in some
strange manner lifted the cloud from
his mind. Now. he states. he Is able
to be out and walk around without a
cane. and is improving in health
rapidly
