PROPERTY DAMAGE
IS VERY HEAVY
City and County Building Suf-
fered More Than Any
Other One.
FIGURE OF JUSTICE on
DOME IS L00SENED
In Business Section Plate Glass
Windows Are Blown In:
Roofs Blown Off.

The city and county building, which
might be expected to withstand tue
ravages of the storm as well, if not bet
ter than any building in the city, prob
ably suffered more damage than any
other one building, The watchman in
charge at the building Saturday night
and Sunday morning says that com
paratively little damage was done
about tho building when the storm first
broke and that it was not until the
second severe spell, about o'clock
Sunday morning, that the safety of the
building seemed in doubt Through
out the building a great many windows
were broken and as the windows are
all of plate glass, the loss from this
source alone will be heavy,
a peculiar feature OF the breaking
of the windows occurred in the court
room Of Judge Lewis, on the fourth
floor of the building One Of the first
of the heavy blasts of wind which came
with the second severe portion of the
storm, blew out small transom glass
over a window in the southeastern
ly after this the glass of the door tran
som in the northwestern corner of the
room burst out with a report like a
cannon shot, showering the glass clear
to the opposite side of the corridor of
the building, 1t was evidently the sud
den inrush of air through the broken
outside transom that caused com
preston of air in the room which
forced out the door transom on the
other side.
Another report, which the watch
man described as sounding like the
blowing open of n safe in the City
Treasurer S Office, was caused by one
of the massive stone and iron figures
which surmounted the northern wing
OF the building being loosened from It's
anchorage and crashing to the asphalt
pavement below. The body of the fig
ure Is made of iron and the head is
of metal, filed with concrete. The
figure is about eight feet high and
the head alone weighs about 500
pounds. In falling the head became de-
tached from the body Of the figure and
struck the asphalt pavement. making u
hole in the asphalt four inches deep.
When daylight came Sunday morn
ing it was found that the large figure
of Justice which surmounts the dome
Of the building had been almost loos-
ened from its anchorage. TIE figure
is fourteen feet in height and composed
of heavy metal. The figure leans so
as To throw the head about three feet
out Of plumb. As soon as 1t was found
that this figure was IN such danger

BAD WRECK On SHORT
LINE HEAR LAYTON
Thirty Box Cars Piled Up in
Heap and Traffic Is
Paralyzed.

While the storm was at its height
Saturday night a freight train on the
Oregon Short Line railway, when be-
blown from the track.
So great was the velocity of the wind
between the two points named that the
entire train, with the exception of the
engine and tender, was blown from
the rails. Thirty cars, which the en-
gine was pulling at the time the train
was struck by the full force of the
wind, were piled in a heap beside the
tracks.
A wrecking crew was sent to the
information as TO the work done had
been received in Salt Lake up to an
carly hour this morning. Sunday the
wind continued to blow so hard that the
wrecking crew was unable to work, and
they returned to Salt Lake, 1t is prob
able that the line may be cleared to-
day. Meanwhile. trains will be run
over the Rio Grande tracks between
Salt Lake and Ogden.
Up to an early hour this Monday
morning, the Saturday night, Sunday
morning and the Sunday night train,
all bound for Butte and northwestern
points, were still lying In the Salt Lake
yards of the Short Line. Word from
Woods Cross is 60 the effect that the
Short Line depot there was destroyed
and much other damage inflicted
The Denver & Rio Grande system
managed to move several trains each
way between Salt Lake and Ogden
during Sunday, but with considerable
difficulty. Like the Oregon Short Line,
the Denver G. Rio Grande had no tele-
graphic communication between the two
points. and it was only at 10 O'Clock
Sunday morning that the latter system
could operate It's trains between this
city and Ogden
The trouble on the Denver & Rio
Grande wires was confined to within a
short distance of Salt Lake. However,
they remained out of service from
about midnight Saturday until 10
o clock Sunday morning, causing trains
to he from four and n half hours to
seven hours late.
The first train that arrived in Salt
Lake from Ogden Sunday was local No.
10. it left Ogden at 9 a. m. and should
have reached here at 900 a. m. When
it pulled into the local station it was

TELEPHONE LINES
BADLY CRIPPLED
WindstOrm Causes Heavy Loss
to the Companies Of
Salt Lake.
BELL SYSTEM is THE
HEAVIEST SUFFERER
Wires Between Salt Lake and
Ogden Are Greatly
Damaged.

With Ogden yet to be heard from, it
is probable that the damage caused by
the terrific wind storm Of Saturday
night and Sunday morning TO the lines
of the Rocky Mountain Bell and the
Utah Independent telephone companies
in Utah will reach thirty thousand
dollars Up to last night, the officials
of neither company would venture
to express themselves with any degree
of certainty as to extent OF the dam
age In Salt Lake City proper.
II was stated at the Offices of both
companies Sunday that n more accurate
idea of the havoc played with the tele~
phone system could be gained today
They explained that they could not
venture to give a definite opinion yes
'terday for the reason that Sunday is
always quiet day for telephones, and
that for that reason the extent Of the
damage could not be estimated,
Made Three Sloughs.
In the opinion of the telephone men,
the wind storm made three separate
and distinct sloughs across the city.
The first slough, IT is thought, was
made by the draught OF wind coming
through Red Butte canyon. and eX-
the North Bench, to Brigham street,
The second slough, the telephone men
say, was caused by the wind through
Parley,s s canyon and extended in width
from Fourth South to Ninth South
streets. The third slough was made
by the draught from Emigration cam
Yon, and extended from Twelfth South
TO Sixteenth South streets.
The greatest damage TO the local tele-
phone systems was confined. for the
most part, to the three sloughs describ-
ed. Such is the opinion of the officials
of both companies. Their theory is
borne out by the fact that the heavy
cables, paralIeling the wind which, for
the most part, blew from east to west,
were but little damaged, while those
crossing the path Of the storm from
north 10 south suffered greatly.
Put Gangs Of Men 10 Work.
Both companies had big gangs of
linesmen out all day Sunday clearing
the streets of the fallen wires i'm in
Vulnerable instances, ii was found that
the wires were lying over high-powcr
light and trolley wires. On MANY
thoroughfares telephone wires that
crossed the high-tension light and troll.

constituting great danger 10 lives

Gus condition ropes were stretchod
some distance from the western side
or inc building 10 prevent traffic too
close TO the building, it being thought
that the figure, if it should fall might
strike the slate roof and glide off to
the ground. The opinion was expressed
however, that the great weight of the
hgure would cause it to break through
the roof of the building and crash on
through to the basement unless stopped
by some OF the steel girders. Some of
the members OF the joint building com
mlttee were at the building early Sun-
day morning and decided TO commence
the work OF erecting scaffold about
the figure the first thing Monday so
as TO enable workmen 20 reach ii and
stralghteu 1T out and more securely
anchor IT The work of building the
scaffold will require several hours,
time owing to the great height and
lnaccesslbllity Of the pedestal on which
the figure rests. In all the damage to
the building will probably run as high
as $4,000.
The new PRESBYTERIAN church on
East Brigham street, so far as is
known. sustained the greatest financial
loss or any structure in the city. Dr.
paden, the pastor OF the church, states
that the loss viii be not less than
$500. The large memorial window on
the east side of the church was blown
completely out. not even portion Of
the frame remaining, This was
stained glass window of exceptional
beauty. 1t portrayed II am the Resur-
rection and the Life and was in
memorium OF the founders of the
church. The cost Of the glass alone.
when installed d few months ago, was
$1,000. The cost of the steel frame and

With telegraphic communication be-

the railroads operating out of this city

as badly crippled condition as pre-
vailed when the atmospheric disturb
ance was at It's height Saturday night
and early Sunday morning Although
city, there was no abatement lii its
terrific force in the vicinity of Wood S
Cross up to a late hour Sunday night,
in consequence Of which no progress
could be made toward repairing the
telegraph lines, and it is doubtful
whether such lines will be again in
good working order until late today.
1t was announced at the Western
Union Offices that two wires had been
patched mp between Salt Lake and
Denver, and one between Salt Lake and
Los Angeles, All other wires of the
company were still down at an early
hour this morning.
The Postal company is handling its
business by means of one wire TO Den
yer by way of Park City. Evanston and
Cheyenne. All other wires are out of
commission, 1t is expected that suf
ficient number of wires will be repaired
today TO enable the company to handle
its business.

vices Sunday night TO the effect that

IN THE SOUTHWEST.
This Portion of City Suffered Lightest
OF Any

OF Any.
The southwestern part of the city
seemed 10 get about as little of the
force of the storm as any other portion
of the city. That part, however, came
far from escaping most violent wind.
During the whole of the night and es-
pecially about / 'clock the wind was
heavy. In the extreme southwestern
part there is but little damage reported,
and what there is consists for the most
part Of damage done To poorly built
barns, fences and things such as wa
CONS which were left standing ont
Trees suffered considerably. hundreds
of them having large limbs blown off.
Some damage was reported on new
buildings which are being built in the
southwest
Farther in toward the center of the
city the damage was more noticeable
Along Fifth South street the wind
seemed 10 blow at an extra high veloc-
ity. Hundreds of fine. large trees were
unrooted and thrown across the roads
and sidewalks, wrecklng fences, break
ing windows, telephone and electric
light wires. and in general playiuo
havoc. At First West and Fifth South
streets the storm seemed 10 center its
strength. About n dozen fine, big box
elGer trees, all located not farther than
quarter Of a block from the inter
section, were blown down.
Alon" Fifth South street. on the
south side, the wind which blew from
the northeast threw a number of buoo

damage to fences. lawns and windows

PACKING PLANT TO
Be- REBUILT At ONCE
Directors Will Meet Today to
Take Initiative Steps in
This Direction.

The loss by fire Of the Utah Packing
company's new building at Bonneville
last Saturday night is by no means the
last of that essential business to the
community. J. H. Moyle. one Of the
directors of the company and also chair
man of the executive committee, stated
last night TO The Tribune that a meet
ing of the directors of the. company
was called for today and initiative
steps would be taken for the immediate
rebuilding OF the plant The company
was incorporated for $300,000, having
capitalization of 100000 and a sur

Tor the company TO increase its stock
IN order to raise money to rebuild
Many prominent business men of the
city have already signified their willing
ness to subscribe for stock, as they
all realize that the investment is a
safe one and a money maker
Misfortune to State.
Mr. MOyle stated that it was a mis-
fortune to the State as well as to the
city that the plant was destroyed Salt
Lake CITY is the central point in the
lnter-mountain stock region, vet she
cannot boast of q irst-class packing
house. Reno, in Nevada, and Denver,
Colo, are the nearest points where a
packing house can be found Il is the
intention of the present company to
make Salt Lake the central point in
the stock market, and in order to do
this a hrst-class packing house is alb
solutely necessary. The business men
of the State fully realize The import
ance OF a home packing house, and it
Is Tor TINS reason as well rs the good

The best mechanics in the country were
employed IN order that the smallest de-
tan should not be overlooked. The

ed for the occasion was to be an exhi-
nltion of the plant in full operation.
