Wants Figures on Mostly Con-
struCtiOn and Equipment

Following the immense number of cars
desires bids, the Moffat road and the
Western Pacific each are in the market,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. That these
two roads, thus early in their life, are
eager to secure equipment proves two
things. First, that there is no doubt as
to their intention CT constructing a road,
and second, that as their promoters real
ize that orders for cars placed now cau
only mean delivery from the overcrc wd-
ed factories a year from now 1t is sup
posed that the equipment will be needed
next summer.
The Moffat road wants figures on ten
loco motives. ten passenger cars and a
total of 500 freight cars, classified as box.
coal, caboose, stock, etc.
The Western Pacific wants figures on
mostly construction and equipment. Tie
deliveries are to be made partly at San
Francisco and partly at Salt Lake. The
list includes two steam shoveIs. ten
freight engines. 200 ballast cars. two bal
last spreaders, two automatic ballast un-
leaders.
The news of orders of these pieces Of
equipment will be awaited with inte. est
as the placing of orders will mean that
no shadow of a doubt remains that the
roads are to begin active operations. t.

far as appearing In the market for bids

RUNAWAY ENGINE
Narrow Escape of a Gang of

Of sixty miles an hour over the level
track leading west. The course of tie
runaway engine was only checked when
it crashed into the rear end of a grave
rain. Fifteen iaborers were riding on
the train at the time. That a single one

opportunity to jump and escape with
their lives Beyond a few minor injuries
every one escaped unhurt. though the en-

ROOSEVELT THROWN
FROM HIS HORSE
President Meets With Serious
Accident While Riding Over
a Lionel, Country Road

New York. July PA World special
from Oyster Bay says: 1T leaked out
saturday that President Roosevelt met
With serious accident here last Wednes-
day, which might easily have cost him
his life. While out riding with Mrs.
Roosevelt the President was thrown from

AS it was, he was little more than
stunned for a second He got to his feet
before Mrs. Roosevelt could even dis
Mount, and, although a little dizzy, as
sured her he was all right. Within fif-
teen minutes the President was on his
morse again and riding as though nothing
nad happened.
When the President and his wife 60
riding they take good care that the rad
is closed behind them They do not care
to be bothered by the curious and Mrs.
Roosevelt has horror Of photographers.
who appear to lurk in every bush. Their
rides, therefore, are very solitary, and
hat is why the news of what happened
o the President did not become public
before.
AS nearly as can be learned now. the
President and Mrs Roosevelt were gal
loping along one of their favorite paths
on Wednesday afternoon when. suddenly,
he Presidents horse stumbled en- a ssonA
n the road. The horse went to his knees
eith such suddenness that the President
who had every confidence In the horse s
sure-footedness. did not have cnance
o prepare himself. and he went shooting
aver the animals head into the road He
landed on the back of his head and neck.
and why the shock did not break hi. neeF
Is past understanding.
President Roosevelt was very anxious
chat nothing be printed about the acci-
lent. He regarded it as trivial affair,
and was afraid 1t would be exaggerated.
In some unknown way the news got out.

THE ACT OF 4 CRAZY

Paper from Rice Straw.

The growing scarcity Of suitable Tim
Der for the manufacture OF wood pulp
has led to the trial Of several substi-
tute materials. 1t is said that rice straw
yields better results than any other ma
terial so far experimental upon of which
a sufficient quantity could be readily
obtained to satisfy demand. This be-
ing assured, the only remaining mat
ter to- be determined would seem to
be the cost OF turning the straw into
paper. Paper can be made out OF great
variety of vegetable fbers, but the
greatest number of these are so refrac-
tory to manufacturing processes that
successful competition with wood pulp
paper has been found impossible. The
Louisiana experiment in the manufac-
ture of printing paper out Of rice straw
will be watched with great interest

STORY OF THE "FIRELANDs. :
Fertile Ohio Region Recalls the Fa-
nous Raid Of the Traitor
Benedict Arnold.

Unnumbered native Ohioans, not to
speak of hundreds OF thousands OF res
idents of this state, who have come
from foreign lands and other states OF
the American union, must have won
dered why a fertile and productive
tract in northern Ohio, a district which
In no way hints of the ravages of fire,
should be called the "firelands" Among
all the vicissitudes of 0hio's early his
tory, relates the Dayton Herald, great
conflagrations were notable for their
absence No such terrible forest fires
swept this state as rayaged large areas
in Michigan and Wisconsin 20 or 80
years later
The fires to which the name refers
ragged in Connecticut, not Ohio, and
they were the work of the British and
tory soldiers, instead of the result of
accidents or natural causes. In 1881,
when the long struggle for independ-
ence was nearly ended, Benedict Ar
mold commanded an expedition which
ravaged the Connecticut coast of Long
Island sound. He burned New London
and other towns and left behind mis-
cry and destitution as we'll as q more
bitter hatred than he had earned be-
fore that outrage upon his native state
This and other cruel and senseless
attacks upon Connecticut towns left
so strong feeling Of sympathy and in
justice behind that in disposing of Con-
necticuts rights in lands now forming
part of Ohio 7S1 square miles in the
extreme western edge of the western
reserve were set apart to be donated to
sufferers by British raids. Five ranges
of townships unhing north and south
were included in this tract
Sandusky bay and Lake Erie extend
so far southwark at this point that the
FIVE ranges OF townships contained only
about 500.000 acres Of land The tract
measured some p miles by 80. The
Connecticut sufferers from the torch OF
the enemy lived chiefly in New Lon
don. Norwalk and Fairfield. and It was
from those towns that many Of the
settlers Of the "Firelands" came to
build in the Ohio wilderness settle
ments bearing the same names and
having like civic ideals and character.
