BOOTH A GOOD CHAIRMAN.
Kept the Delegates Smiling and
Laughing all the Afternoon.

Judge John r. Booth Of Provo has
presided over good many conventions
and political gatherings In the past. AND
nearly always acquitted himself with
credit but never did he WELD the gavel
of presiding officer with greater abil-
ity than on yesterday afternoon and
last night. Besides, he kept the dele
gates and attending crowds In the best
OF humor from beginning to end and
more than once did he change the time
OF acrimony and harsh words into a
flood of merriment. On assuming his
duties, he said: ~
Ladies and Gentlemen--I feel very
deeply the honor, that, you have con-
fefred upon me--inore than have abil-
ity to express. At the same time. how
ever do desire to express a little Of
my feelings on such position. In ac-

all those titles are badges of serviture.
II means that we have hired some fell
low TO do our work. and then, when We

we tell him to. So this afternoon,

THE GREAT FIRE.
II IL Still Raging at Beaumont--De.

New Orleans, Sept ia special to

says:
The fire In the oil fields is still rag

column of fame fifty feet high gas

Keith-Ward tract, on which all the
tanks have been burned The dam

less work on the part OF white man
caused the disaster. The man, whose
name has not yet been learned. went
into the settling tank Of the Keith
Ward tract on Spindle Top, with a
lighted lantern, and an explosion fol-
lowed. The man escaped with serious
burns but a moment later the tank
burst and blazing oil spread over the
Keith-Ward tract, which comprises ten
acres, Derricks were ignlted and
burned like finder. The numerous
small wood settling tanks scattered
over the tract were also burned and a
blazing piece of timber floated away
about 200 feet into Higgins Riland Fuel
companys tank No. 2. This tank is
built OF steel and holds $3.50 pounds of
oil The oil was ignited and is still
burning.
While the destruction OF the settling
tanks entailed great loss to indi-
vidual companies. the real danger to
the field was not apparent until day
light. 1t was then discovered that the
Wynds gusher was ablaze, the well
spouting a column of burning oil and
gas more than 100 feet In the air.
The Higgins tank being Of steel and
sufficiently isolated to create no i'm
mediate danger, the efforts Of the fire
fighters are concentrated on the burn
ing gusher. Levees have been cen
structed 10 coniine the burning oil and
preparations are now being made to
smother the gusher.

PAPER BOAT BUILDERS.
Will be Asked To Establish Branch
Of tho Industry Here.

Water Bros, the noted paper boat
builders of Newburg, n, j.. have been
written to with reference to a possible
erection In this quarter OF branch Of
their boat building interests. II has been
pretty well established that the paper
boat Is the proper thing for pleasure
boating on Great Salt Lake, rather than
the thin cedar which IL so easily br0k-
en- and the two six cared barges
shipped out here some 10 years ago
from the Waters establishment for the
Salt Lake Rowing club, have lasted
until the last two seasons. In fact
they would be available now but for the
III treatment they have been subjected
to in storage which has ruined them
FOR present use. But even. with the
condition they are now In, were there a
steam moulding plant here, these boats
could be remoulded and renewed as
the paper itself is not destroyed. but
only the shape Of the boats is all out
OF line. Paper stands this heavy wattt
very well. The belief is gaining ground
in boating circles that with the re-
opening OF Garfield next season by the
Short Line, there will be an opportunity
to resucitate the Salt Lake Rowing
club and with paper boat manufac-
turing plant In town, there would be a
good demand for singles, doubles, pair
oars, four oars, skies, an eight or two,
and a wide variety Of pleasure boats
for ladies and gentlemen for use on
Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, Occur
d'Alene Lake and other watering places
IN the intermountain country.
