Day.
New York, July 20.-The wave of in
tense heat which had this city in its
grasp for more than a week, causing
nearly two hundred deaths, several
times as many serious prostrations
and much suffering to millions of peo-
pie, has been thoroughly broken. Two
deaths from heat and several prostra-
tions were reported early to-day, but
in nearly every case they were thought
to have been due to exhaustion.
Thunder Storm Cools the Air.
New York, July 20.-The heat wave
was broken late yesterday by heavy
thunderstorm. According to the po-
lice, at least a hundred thousand per-
sons slept out of doors last night, en-
joying a good rest in the cooled at
mosphere. Every public park was
filled to overfiowing, while the recrea-

RATES MUST BE MADE EQUABLE.
Congressman Townsend of Michigan
Says Peoples Welfare Depends
on Settlement of Problem.

Toledo, Ohio, July 20.-"The welfare
of the railroads and the welfare of the
people of this country depend on an
early and fair and just settlement Of
The railroad-rate problem. There may
be compromise, but there can not be
compromise of principle. The law
calls for just and a fair rate to all,
and that is the only settlement upon
which the people will make an agree
ment."
So spoke Congressman Charles E.
Townsend, of Michigan, to the mem.
bers of the National Hay Association,
which has been in session here all
week.
Here is a case that came before us
last year 1t is possible to ship 100
pounds of cotton from Chicago to Bos
ton for $1.25. A shipment of the same
from Chicago to Salt Lake city costs
$3.50 A shipper would be saving
money by sending his goods from Bos-
tor 20 San Francisco and from there
to Salt Lake City.
There are two parties to the freight
rate contract, the people and the rail
roads The trouble in the past mas been
that judges have held the individual
and the corporation as equals. This, in
my opinion, is wrong. The railroads
have been given power to condemn
property for their right-of-way in or
der to force the people to sell out:
they have even been given land. They
have the better of the individual in al
most every way"

TEMPE
SEE THE FIRE FIGHTERS.
They Will Have Competitive Drill
 a Week from Sunday.

What promises to be one of the most interesting events that has occurred in Tempe in some time past is the com petitive drill between the two com panies of the Tempe fire department which will take place a week from next Sunday. Mention was made a day or two ago of the proposed drill and since then the foremen of the two companies. Tom Curnow of No. l. and Tom Goodwin of No. . to whom the arrangement of the contest was in trusted, have met and the following is the program. One company will place their team a hundred yards north of the Casa Loma hydrant; the other company's team will be placed an equal distance south of the hydrant at the Laird and Dimes corner. At the same time the two teams will start toward each other, will connect with their respective hydrants. unreel four lengths of hose and attach the nozzle
 That will bring them within twenty feet of each other. At a convenient point two judges will be stationed. It will be their duty to decide which com pany first gets water. The company making the slowest time will have their water supply shut off from the hydrant. there being a man for that purpose at each hydrant who will be instructed by a signal from the judges. That leaves the losing team at the mercy of their opponents and in addi- tion to undergoing the humiliation of being beaten in the run they will be
