Elks' Convention Opens.

Special to the Record.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 70
This was the opening day of the
great national gathering of Elks
and if the enthusiasm that atten-
ded the initial proceedings is any
indication OF what is to follow the
convention is destined to go down
in the history of the order as the
most successful yet held. There
was a delegation on hand from
every state when Grand Exalted
Ruler Charles e. Pickett called
the gathering to order this morn
ing in the assembly hall of the
Norman tabernacle, the interior
of which was gay with flags and
banners of the order. The open
ing proceedings were routine in
character but none the less inter-
esting. Governor Wells eX-
tended greetings on behalf of the
state of Utah and there were other
welcomes for the city, the local
lodges CT the order and the busi-
ness men of Salt Lake City. Re-
sponse was embodied in the an;
nual address the Grand Exalted
Ruler and then the convention
listened to the reports and the
appointment of committees.
This business disposed ofan early
adjournment was taken to permit
the visitors to partake of tne first
instalment of the long and attrac-
tive entertainment programme
prepared Dy the localcomnoittees.

morrow and there will also be a

The we'll of the Welsh Oil and
Development company, on the
Woods farm two and a half miles
west of Welsh, broke loose last
night at 8 O'Clock and tore the
cap off the casing and shot up
into the air toa grear height.
Col. w. H. Holton, who came
over from Edgerly, was the first
eye witness toarrivein Jennings.
He stated to the RECORD man
that Judging by his observation
from the train which passed the
we'll at 10 o'clock this forenoon,
that the well shot up into the air
at least $50 feet; others say it
went 200 feet.
A large number Of people drove
over from Jennings this morn
ing to take a look at the runaway.
The reports brought back are to
the effect that the gusher IS not
an oil we'll, or at least has failed
to produce any oil up to the pres
ent time, but is throwing mud,
sand and water to beat the band.
The gas pressure is something
wonderful; it first threw five
hundred feet of six-inch casing
out of the well; then came the
mud, water, sand and stones. 1t
is told that stones Weighing s
pounds each were raised 100 feet
or more above the ground.
1t is to be hoped that after a
| good cleaning out, OIL will begin
to flow and thus widen the field
which will be the better for the
business by creating confidence
amongst cOnsu mers.

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Governments Shipping Agreements
Will Be Discussed.

London, Oct. 2O.-Gerald Baltour' presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, announced
in the House of Commons today that an
evening would be given for the discus
sion of the governments shipping agree
ments.
The arrangement with the International
Mercantile Marine Company, he added
did not involve any additional burden on
the exchequer
Mr.. Hamburg, president of the Board
of Agriculture, made a statement to the
effect that the negotiations on the sub
ject of Argentine cattle were not conclu-
ied but the importation of live cattle from
that republic would be permitted so soon
as the regulations of Argentine afforded
security against the landing of diseased
animals.
When questined on the subject OF
British reverse in Somaliland, the foreign
under secretary, Lord Cranborne. had lit
tie to add to the facts already known.
He said General Manning arriveu at Alden
Yesterday and that the government placed
at his disposal a battalion of Indian
troops to aid the protectorate forces. If
these troops were not sufficient. others
would be forthcoming.
Lord Cranborne said Colonel Swayne's
retreat would probably necessitate much
more prolonged operations and larger
force than anticipated.

RAILROAD MEETING TODAY
FRAUGHT WITH SIGNIFICANCE

the Atlantic Coast Line. The Louisville
and Nashville controlled the Western
from West Point to Selma, and the only
link, preventing a possible division from
Augusta to Montgomery, was the Atlanta
and West Point from Atlanta to West
Point
A few days ago, 1t will be remembered.
announcement was made in a special
from st. Louis that the Louisville and
Nashville had secured control of the At
lanta and West Point. If this is true, 1t
eradicates all difficulties in the path Of
possible division from Augusta or even
Charleston to Montgomery.
Something on this line may develop at
the twin meetings today. Just what will
be the outcome, of course, Is only prob
lematical but railroad men are wrought
up to a high tension.
The annual meetings Of the Western
have always been held in Montgomery,
and those of the Atlanta and West Point
in Atlanta, and the fact that there Is a
departure from this time-honored usage
by the holding of the Westerns annual
meeting for the first time out of Mont
gomery would seem to presage something
out of the ordinary.
The members of the Board of Directors
of the Atlanta and West Point elected at
the meeting last year are: Milton II.
Smith, President of the Louisville and
Nashville; John M. Egan, President of the
Central of Georgia; Harry Walters, Pres
ident of the Atlantic Coast Line; Charles
A. Wickersham, President of the Atlanta
and West Point and Western of Ala
bama; ]. +. Hanson. chairman Of the
Financial Board of the Central Of Geor-
gia and Messrs. II. c. Fisher and w. B.
Berry.
At the last annual meeting of the West
ern in Montgomery, the members of the
Board of Directors elected were: Harry
Walters, President of the Atlantic Coast
Line; John M Egan, President OF the
Central; Charles A. Wickersham, Presi-
dent of the Atlanta and West Point and
Western of Alabama: j. F. Hanson.
chairman of the Financial Board of the
Central of Georgia; ]. NJ. Falkner of
Montgomery, District Attorney of the
Louisville and Nashville, and Messrs.
II. c. Fisher, l.. Lanier of West Point
and R. NJ. Green of Opelika.
From the way things look, it seems that
the Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville
and Nashville have a good working ma
jority in the two meetings
President Wickersham is entering on his
second year as the executive head of the
Atlanta and West Point and Western Of
Alabama. He was brought to the West
ern from the Alabama Great Southern at
Birmingham, succeeding George c. Smith,
who was made President and General
Manager of the Atlanta and West Point
on the death of President Phinizy Of the
two roads.
II is said that Mr.. Underestimate an
nual report of his two roads will show
up handsomely.
BY an odd coincidence, George c. Smith
is in Atlanta at the present time. his mis-
sion there. however. being on business
for the Westinghouse people, the company
that ne now represents.
