Il am sure that Senator Clark looks
forward TO establishing, in the very
near future. a magnificent line of

of the executive board of the Salt
Lake route. and also one of the active
men in the new construction work OF
the road He arrived in town yester-
day.
The establishment of the Salt Lake
road into Los Angeles has brought to
life tremendous mining operations in
Nevada. These operations" he con-
tinued. have reached a scale never be
fore attained in the history of that
State. The production of millions of
dollars Of new wealth into the world
is becoming an ordinary affair.
The logical place for the milliors
of tons of ole to come is Los An
geles. It will not be long before the
shipping of ore to Los Angeles is
started on a large scale. Shelters will
be established and an immense impe-
tus viii be given to the industrial life
of this city
Mr.. Kerens is accompanied by Arcn-
bishop j. j. Glennon of St. Louis, who
is the youngest archbishop in the
world, and also is considered one of
the very able men of the United
States. Maj. J. L. Bittenger Of st.
Joseph, one of the pioneer editors of

In speaking OF the trip across the
Middle Western States, Mr.. Kerens
said: I'VE Travelled through eighteen
inches OF snow in some places, and in
other places there was snow and slusF.

that there was no place like Califor

VESSEL FELT
EARTHQUAKE
Steamer Bound for Perth Amhoy
Was at Valparaiso, Chile Day
Before Great Disaster.
SHE IS NOW AT BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9:-The Brit
ish steamship Auchenarden, which ar
rived here from the west coast of
South America with a cargo of silver
ore and nitrate of soda, was at Val
paraiso a few days prior to the terri
BILE earthquake which partly de-
stroyed that city. Captain Crowder
states that he had just discharged
the cargo at Valparaiso from New
York, and the vessel was in the har-
Dor making preparations to sail up
the coast, when severe trembling
was suddenly felt throughout the
ship, the disturbance lasting several
seconds, rafting the dishes in the
pantry and the pans in the galley and
causing the ship to vibrate as If her
engines were running.
The sea was not disturbed, as the
shock must have covered large area.
The Auchenarden sailed the next day,
and on her arrival at the nitrate port
to load cargo the news of the destruc-
ton of Valparaiso was received. The
Auchenarden, after completing her
cargo, sailed from Coronel, the last
loading port, on September 3. From
the Pacific coast, through the Straits
of Magellan and up the Atlantic only
two stops were made-one at Monte
video and the other at st. Lucia
where her coal bunkers were refilled
From there she sailed for Savannah,
Ga, where 1900 tons of her cargo
of nitrate were discharged. The voy-
age was uneventful, with the excep-
ton of some severe weather before
reaching the Straits.
The Auchenarden has 1000 tons
of copper ore in bulk, which will be
discharged in this port, and 10000
bags of silver ore for delivery al
Perth Amboy, ~ j., the rest of her
cargo consisting of about 5000 tons
of nitrate of soda for New York. The
vessel was last in this port about
three years ago. She belong to the
Auchen Steamship Company of Glas-
gov and was launched about six years
ago. Almost Immediately after be-
ing launched she was pressed into SER
vice by the English government and
used as transport during the South
African war.

Believed That Acting Mayor Holds
Office Only Until Election
Day.
INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.
A Number of Officials and Others Be-
lievc That the Candidates i'm the
Recent Campaign Should Have
Been Nominated Both for the Two
Years from january and the Time
Between Election and New Years.

According to the Interpretation Of
the law CLEANED by number of city
officials and close students of local
politics, this city is now virtually
without a mayor or mayor qualified
20 act.
They declare that the law govern
ing the succession of the aldermen
at-large or other official upon the
death of the mayor provides that the
acting mayor shall hold Office only
until the next general election"
AS the mayor-elect does not take
Office until January 1, the opinion is
voiced that this city is minus an oc-
cupant of the mayors chair and will
be so until the first of the year. Al
derman-at-Large Pfeiffer became act
ing mayor upon the death of DR.. H.
M. Brace last February.
According to the general opinion
of those who have given the subject
much thought, the mayoralty candi-
dates of both parties in the cam
paign just ended should have been
nominated both for the next term,
January l, 19O7-1909, but also for
the time intervening between election
day, last Tuesday, and New Years
day next, nearly two months hence.
Then, had the democratic nominee
been elected for the remainder of the
present uneXpired term and also for
the next term, he would have taken
Office the day after election.
