SUPAI INDIAN VILLAGE
An Interesting Letter From That
 Point

Some time since Mir. J. M. Thorne left Williams to accept a position as farmer at the Supai Indian agency in Cataract Canyon. Last week we received letter from him, but owing to the celebration taking so much of our space were unable to publish it in our last issue. We now give some extracts therefrom: {:
 "Supai is between 75 and 100 miles from Seligman, with one main road and trail from which few dim wood or ranch roads lead off The water from Williams and above, and this side, seems to rise right at and all around Supai, and run off a bold, brave and clear stream.
 "Dr. Woods, who has been super intendent and agent at this place, left June 18th, with his wife and little daughter, for Rossfork, Idaho, to accept another position with the government, and Dr. Harrison is now filling the position of postmas ter and agent here. He and his wife, both young people, myself, and about two hundred Indians, compose our family.
 "W. w. Bass and some tourists have been visitors at Supai, but have now left for other points.
 "Supai City consists of q school house, the superintendent's dwell ing, my dwelling, an office and drug, store combined all stone buildings-a blacksmith shop and commissary built of lumber, and warehouse built of reeds; also a large government tent.
 "There is nice little farm of probably two or three acres, peach and apricot orchard and about an acre of alfalfa, from which two crops have already been harvested. The apricots have ripened and are about all gone. while the peaches are now coming on. The garden of beans, peas, mellons, squashes, onions, cabbages, corn, and almost everything generally raised in garden, is now coming on, though it had been badly neglected for about a week previous to my con- ing, there being no one here to look after it. The soil is a sandy loam and seems to grow anything planted and properly cared for.
 "The place all around is well shaded with cottonwoods, ash, will lows, and few other varieties. We have shade here most of the time, which helps to keep it cool, and the heat is not what I had expected."
 Alex Johnston, who has been en- ployed at the local depot for some time past, departed last Sunday for San Bernardino, Cal, to accept the position of night clerk at that point under Agent A. F. Hunt. Alex many friends will miss him, as will promoters of home talent enter

REsUalNG BUSINESS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Factories Starting Operations and Many Stores
Reopen.

San Francisco (SpeciaD Business is
being rapidly resumed by retail tradesmen
of every description throughout the de-
stroyed sections OF the city. George
Whitman, chairman OF the committee on
retail trade, reports that the following
places of business are open;
Forty-four butchers, 20 restaurants, %
bakeries, 22 fruit and vegetable Stands,
II diaries, IS refreshment parlors, So
groceries, and II miscellaneous cstab-
lshments, including tailors, plumbers,
| dry goods stores, druggists and cigar
stands.
In less than two weeks the garbage
| question will be disposed OF. An in
/ spection Of the reduction works in the
| Potrero has been made and it was re-
ported that outside OF the 100 feet OF the
tall chimneys repairs to the furnaces can
be completed in 10 days
Men were set to work on these neces-
sary repairs and soon there will be es-
tablished a forced draught, so as 10 in
sure rapid combustion. As soon as this
is completed all refuse will be incinerated
as in the past.
Mayor Schmitz has just made the an
nouncement that all time restriction as
TO the Lighting OF dwellings will be re-
moved, with the suggestion that candles
be used exclusively for illuminating pur-
poses until electricity can be resumed.
Petroleum for lighting purposes is es-
pecially prohibited until the water supply
is intact.
The Spring Valley Water Company ex-
poets to have the city front water sup
ply in commission within 10 days. By
that time the pipes on the various
wharves will have been overhauled and
shipping can be accommodated as before
the earthquake.
The United Railroads was given per-
mission by Mayor Schmitz TO operate
its cars until later hours.
The work of inspecting chimneys is
proceeding rapidly The inspectors are
all architects or builders, and are donat-
ing their services for the benefit OF house
holders. Every chimney is every build
ing left standing in San Francisco will be
| thoroughly inspected before any permits
are issued to make fires indoors. The
reports will be turned over to the board

Many of the larger factories left un-
| harmed are starting up work with all the
rapidity possible under the circumstances.
AT the Union Iron Works 1900 men are
now employed, and the management ex-
poets within fortnight to have the full
complement of its force-nearly 1900
men-engaged.

BODY BLOW TO STANDARD OIL.
President Roosevelt Hits Hard 10 Letter TO
Congress.

Washington, D. C., (SpeciaD .-Presi-
dent Roosevelt transmitted to Congress
the report Of James B. Garfield, Com
missioner Of Corporations, giving the
results of his investigation Of the sub
ject Of transportation and freight rates
in connection with the oil industry.
That the Standard Oil Company has
benefited enormously almost up 10 the
present moment by secret rates, many
of which were clearly unlawful, the Pres
ident says the report clearly shows, the
benefit thereby secured amounting to at
least three-quarters OF a million a year.
"A very striking result OF the investiga-
ton he adds, has been that shortly
after the discovery Of these secret rates
by the Commissioner Of Corporations, the
major portion Of them were promptly
corrected by the railroads, so that most
Of them have now been done away with"
The statement is added that the Depart
ment of Justice will take up the question
OF instituting prosecutions in at least
certain cases, and the hope is expressed
that Congress will enact into a law the
bl4i VI tlNllaADl NipA " NOllNNl AllC III
depreciation OF the immunity provision
rendered in Judge Humphreys decision.
Continuing, the President says But,
in addition to these secret rates, the
Standard Oil profits immensely by open
rates, which are so arranged as to give
it an overwhelming advantage over its
independent competitors" 1t is not pos
sible, he says, 10 put into figures the
exact amount by which the Standard Oil
profits through the gross favoritism
shown ii by the railroads in that way
The profit comes not merely by the saw
ing in the rate itself, but by the complete
control OF the market which it secures.
The President also calls attention TO
one feature of the report regarding the
manner in which the law is eyaded by
treating as State commerce what in reali-
ty is merely a part OF inter State COM
merecc
Other trusts, he declares, are getting
the benefit of rate determinations. The
Sugar Trust rarely if ever, pays the
lawful rate for transportation.
He favors, as an element Of competi-
iion. putting alcohol used in the arts and
manufactures on the free list, and Of
keeping the fee to oil and coal lands OF
the Indian tribes or on the public domain
in the Government, the lands to be
leased only on such terms and for such
periods as will enable the Government
to entirely control them.

SEVEN ARE KILLED
TWENTY INJURED
disastrous Passenger Wreck on the

TRAINS CRASH NEAR ALTOONA.
The Chicago Mail and The 81. Louis Express
Meet Head On While Going at High Speed
Both Locomotives and Six Cars are
Demolished -Pssseogers Pinned Dowu In.
der the Wrecksge.

Altoona, Pa. (SpeciaD The most dis
astrous accident on the Pennsylvania
Railroad since the disaster east of Har-
risburg nearly a year ago, when about 20
persons were killed, occurred on the Pc
tersburg Branch about 500 yeards east
of Clover Creek Junction.
The Chicago mail, bound cast. and the
| Chicago and ST. Louis express, bound
west two of the fastest trains on the
system, going at full speed, met headon.
Seven cars were wrecked and both en-
gines were badly damaged.
The best information obtainabe is to
the effect that ! persons were killed and
about 20 injured Later particulars may
change these figures, but not to any ap-
prcciable extent
The disaster was indirectly due to a
freight wreck on the middle division at
S.24 O'Clock, when p loaded cars OF an
eastbound freight train were wrecked at
Union Furnace, about 20 miles south OF
here, blocking all trains, The cause Of
the accident is attributed to the bursting
| OF an airbrake hose. In order to avoid
| detentions Of trains, passenger traffic was
sent over the Petersburg Branch.
The Pennsylvania special, the IS-hour
flyer west-bound, was the first train to
pass around and make the trip in safe
ty No. 2I, the St. Louis and Chicago
express, was the next train TO be sent
west-bound over the branch. 1t collided
with No. Is, the Chicago mail, going in
an opposite direction on a single track
near Clover Creek Junction.
Both locomotives were wrecked. Six
cars on No. 1S-fve mail cars and a
coach--were caught in the smashup. The
dead and injured were passengers on the
coach.
No. Fl was sent out Of Altoona revers-
cd-that is, the coach was run next to
! the locomotive This was done in order
to avoid long detention that would have
been occasioned by shifting the train.
The train was sent east as far as Eliza
beth Furnace, on the main line, when
the locomotive was shifted and the trip
over the cutoff started.
The accident appears TO have resulted
from a misunderstanding OF orders on
the part OF the train crew OF the Chicago
and ST. Louis express.
Information received at Superintendent
Preston's office was 10 the effect that a
number OF passengers were fastened un-
der the twisted iron and broken timbers
OF the wrecked cars, and whether they
are dead or alive will not be ascertained
until after the wreckage is cleared from
the tracks

ASHES IN MANY VAULTS AND SAFES.
Contests Intact 10 90 Per Cent Of Those
Opened.

San Francisco, (Special).-A large
proportion, If not a majority, Of the bust
ness men of San Francisco who were
thankful during the conhagraton that
their valuables were inclosed in freprooi
vaults, have wakened to an unpleasant
surprise. Within the last u hours 57t
safes and vaults have been opened in
the district east OF Powell and north OF
Market streets, and in not more than &c
per cent. OF these instances were the
contents found intact. In many cases a
pile OF ashes represented thousands OF
dollars worth of accounts.
While it is difficult to give exact fig
ures as 10 losses and insurance in con-
nection with the fire which has devas-
tated such a large portion Of San Fran
cisco, close estimates have been com
piled which show that the actual prop
erty loss to the city is close TO $3.50
600.
1t is now estimated that in order to
meet the municipal expenses the tax
rate will be over $25o on SIoo until the
burned district is partially rebuilt The
ciity's taxable basis was cut practically
in half The tax rate for the current
year was SI.o7.

adopted in Oakland and other parts OF
