SHOOTS MAN WINS.
Mormon's Influence Dominates Utah
Republican Convention

salt Lake. Utah, Aug. 26.-After a
bitter all day fight John G Cutler or
salt Lake was nominated for COVER
nor by the Republican state conyen-
ton on the second ballot The fight
for the governorship was a three cor
nered one between Governor Heber
NJ. Wells. now serving his second
term in that office. James H. HAM
mond. present secretary of state, and
John G. Cutler. a prominent merchant
of Salt Lake, and absorbed the atten-
ton of the delegates to the exclusion
of the rest of the ticket. Mr.. Ham
mond withdrew after the first ballot.
The second ballot stood: Cutler, 2S9;
Wells. 221.
Charges that church influence was
being used in behalf of Cutler were
freely made by the adherents of Gov
ernor Wells and Mr.. Hammond. In
directly the fight for the United States
senatorShip in the Utah legislature
next winter was brought into the con-
test. Senator Smoot. who is one OF the
twelve apostles of the Mormon
church, being an open and active sup
porter of Mr.. Cutler, while Governor
Wells was helped in his campaign by
Senator Kearns. During the balloting
the feeling between the Wells and
Cutler adherents broke forth several
times, but charges of church inf1u-
ence which were expected to be made
in the convention hall did not ma
terialize.
Outside of the fight for the COVER
norship interest centered in the nomi-
nation for congressman Early in the
day the Wells and Hammond dele
gates succeeded in having this nomi-
nation postponed until the last and
after Governor Wells was defeated
lively fight against the denomination
of Congressman Joseph Howell was
looked for.
The complete ticket is as follows:
Presidential electors-A. w. Wade,
H. P. Myton and d. H. Cannon.
ongressman-Joseph Howell, re-
nominated.
GoVernor-John G. Cutler
Secretary of state-C. s Tingey.
Treasurer-James Christensen.
Auditor-James A. Edwards
Attorney general-M. A. Breeder.

a BIG RAIN STORY
Which Nobody But Man From Pratt
Would Have Believed.

The big stand pipe at the Santa Fe
depot is more than thirty feet tall and
fully twenty-five feet in diameter, con-
sequently holds an immense amount
of water. At present it is filed by
pumping the water into it, the pump
ing station being some distance away;
and therefore a person being unac-
quainted with the manner in which it
is filled would naturally wonder how
the water is put into it. The other
day it had been pumped full, and as
there is no cover to the big tank 1t of
course runs over when it gets full, and
II there happens to be good breeze.
the water is blown over the top of it
in considerable quantities, and, as it
stands near the depot, at such times it
attracts the attention of persons about
the depot. The other day the tank
ming over and the wind was sending it
out over the top in sprays. The train
from Pratt arrived at the depot in the
meantime and there was a Pratt man
on the train, who happened to notice
the tank full of water and his curl
osity was at once aroused. so much so
that he asked reporter for this pa
per how they managed to fill that big
concern with water. He was very
promptly informed that the tank had
been made without a cover purposely,
so that the rains would fill the tank.
and that the water he then saw slop-
ping over the top was all rain water,
and that the tank had been filled by
the recent heavy rains which had
fallen in this county. And the Pratt
man believed it. Think of that A
heavy enough rain SO that a tank 80
feet tall was filled to overlooking. The
water certainly must have been un-
comfortably deep in this section at
that time-if the reporters story was
true. Those Pratt fellows will be-
lieve any sort of story.-Kingman
Leader-Courier.

Portland. Ore. Aug. 26.-Great Bit

Uses Of steel.

The railroad mileage In this country
isa increasing at the rate of about
5000 miles a year. At this rate In
twenty years there will be 100000
more miles of railroad in the country.
If the country continues to develop
during the next twenty years as rap
idly as it has during the last two dec
AIDES, it will require fully 100000 more
miles of railroad to handle the increase
in the volume of traffic. With this in
crease in railroad mileage the demand
for steel and iron will be correspond
ingly greater The last great building
constructed in New York with iron
beams and iron girders was the Wald-
dorf hotel, and yet this building Is only
eleven years old. Every large building
that has gone up since has been con-
structed with steel-New York Trib-
