AT BOYS MEETING,
Prof. Watson Advised Them to Build
Up Their Characters.

The boys at the Y. ~ e, 4, were ad.
dressed yesterday afternoon, by Prof.
George Watson who urged them to
build up their characters. and said
that every boy who desires to make a
good man Of himself found that In the
attainment OF his determination there
was a constant resistance TO he over

We're swimming up stream. But
swimming up stream was indicative OF
live fish while fish that hoated with
the current was dead. II was so with
boys, and any boy who did not swim
up stream IN the progress OF character
building was drifting further down all
the time and could only be numbered
among the dead ones
The speaker was glad 10 see so many
boys there who had pledged them
selves to be builders of character, AS
the greatest aid to carrying out that
pledge he would ask them to look
upon Jesus Christ as their Savior and
the one avenue through which their
efforts could be made Of the highest
avail and sanctihed.

today. The people OF small Nevada
towns are still lighting the sagebrush,
and have no stores ahead save cattle
along the HUMBOLDT river They realize
that whatever relief comes westward
must come mostly from Salt Lake and
beyond, and therefore feel deep In

which pass through.
Every train arriving from San Fran

earthquake experiences and as they
come out of the cars 10 stroll on the
station platforms they are eagerly sur

are listened to with great interest.

SUGAR FAMINE IN NORTHWEST
RELIEVED BY UTAH cos.

1T Is an Ill wind that blows nobody
good" The truth OF this saying was
never better shown than in the san
Francisco calamity. All the surround
ing country is being drawn on for sup
plies, and now comes the news from
Portland, Seattle and other points IN
the northwest, that sugar famine Is
likely to occur there, due to the fact
that the customary source of supply,
the San Francisco refneries, has been
shut off. The Utah Sugar Co., the Ida
no Sugar Co. and the Amalgamated
Sugar Co., have all received urgent
messages asking them to start all the
sugar they can spare To the points
named The companies will at once
comply. and several train loads, con-
tanning anywhere from five TO ten mil
lion pounds of sugar Will be sent into
the new markets thus suddenly created.
The local companies Will see that no
famine prices are exacted, but only the
prices which Portland and Seattle paid
the San Francisco refineries Will be
charged.
As the local companies can only par
TALLY supply the shortage In the north
west, the railroad companies have put
in an emergency rate OF "a cents per
100 pounds from New York TO Portland,
and the northwest surplus will for the
first time IN years, be supplied from
the Atlantic coast refneries.

From San Fran

SOME TRYING EXPERIENCES.
j. y. Daily and Family Escaped and
Reached City Yesterday---Iii- Auto

j. j. Daily and family arrived home
yesterday morning from san Francis
co after very trying experiences. They
were stopping at the Charlemagne hotel
on Gesry street at the time OF the
earthquake, which threw them ont OF
bed The building was shattered, and
the crash was bewilderlng. Half
dressed women and men were rushing
around the halls. helpless, praying
and weeping. Mr.. Daily hurried into his
daughters room. rescued her, and then
got his family out into the street as the
shocks continued and the confusion in
creased. Out on Van Ness avenue the
homes OF the wealthy were In ruins
and the occupants were out on the
street In all kinds OF attire. with flames
breaking forth on every side.
LOST HIS AUTOMOBILE,
Mr.. DAILY had his own automobile, but
the police confiscated II 10 carry the
wounded, and Mr.. DAILY was glad TO
give It up for that survice.
The work OF the police was excellent,
but when the soldiers showed UP the
city was put under martial law. Thieves
were shot down, and this served to pro-
tect helpless women front men who
would otherwise have been at their
mercy, All sorts OF conveyances We're
resorted To in hauling away household
goods, and then Mr.. DAILY said Il
would thank YOU to say that / am
proud OF the manhood and unselfsh-
ness OF the whole people. We did not

wanderings. but at all hours OF the aN-

surprised to find that the proprietor
made only a moderate charge. ana

Moreover the occulst, DR.. II. Kohl

who applied and made no charge for

said:
II may never forget my last look on
the doomed city from the deck of the
ferry boat as we sped away to safety.
Far as the eye could sean the horizon
