REPORTS TO RAILROADS

The drought that brought such dis
tress 10 Kansas. Nebraska. Missouri
and other states is likely to prove a
benefit 10 the I-ah and Idaho farmers
and railroads. The failure of crops in
these states means that yotatOzs must
be- imported, and the local railroad men
are figuring on big movement Of no

Already The agents o. lines reaching

from. They report that both Utah and

The crop and surplus, the railr0ad men
figure shat Utah viii be good for 200
to 800 cars OF potatoes and Idaho for

The reports from all the pOtato-erow-
ing districts of Utah show that A good
crop is maturing. Cache valley, Weber
and Utah counties, ana the region

On the other hand, reports from the

Supplies For Hospitals.

The City Front federation granted
permission this morning to a number of
teams to haul coal to the light house
tender so there will be no stOppage of
the lighthouse service. Permission has
Deen granted to the charitable institu-
ticns and hospitals to receive supplies
hauled by union teamsters.
W ME hVe steamers are being loaded
today, the general appearance of the
harbor is one of inactivity. There. are
scores OF Vesseis awaiting cargo which
IS ready 10 be put aboard when men are
found to handle it. Mayor Phelan held
a conference with both sides to the
controversy today. Although no def
mite result was accomplished. the
mayor said:
The situation looks better than it
did yesterday. The employers seem
willing to reinstate the striking team
sters If the latter will agree not to en-
gage in sympathetic strikes and not
attempt to force their fellow workers
into the union. The teamsters appear
TO be willing to return to work, but
they want a guarantee that their en-
ployers viii not discriminate against
union labor The difference does not
seem to be very great-at least not so
bad that 1t cannot be settled
The strike Is more general today
said President Golf of the labor coun-
Gil. All shipping is tied up, and as the
days pass the effort Of the strike will
be felt everywhere throughout the city
L is in the power of the employers to
end this trouble, and if they do not the
city can hold them alone responsible.
We cannot retire from our present
position and viii not retire until we
have won our battle.
1T is a fight for the union principle
"a fight that must succeed. There
are now over 10000 men involved in
the strike and possibly before the week
ends the number will be increased to
5000"
Attorney NJ F. Michael. attorney for
the Employers association. said: The
situation. as far as the association is
concerned. presents nothing new. There
has been no change in the attitude of
the employers. and no change has been
discussed or considered No conference
with the unions has been proposed and
none is expected. Men are being stead
lily obtained to fill the strikers places.
The draymen have a large force at
work and I understand other branches
of business are meeting with ike sue

True Story of the Death of the
Whitney Cow.

Deweyville lost a COW last week, and
under circumstances which indicate
that there is still chance for Baron
Munchausen, where'er his nlustrious
spirit may roam.
The COW belonged to a farmer by the
name of Whitney, living at DeWeyville-
Ordinarily, the death of q COW would
not cause a great deal of concern in a
community but this one did. Sheriff
Abbott of Davis county heard Of it and
he brought the story to town.
The COW was tied to a post in the
doOryard- On top of this post there
was a nail, which had once served to
hold up one end of a clothes line. Ca
