and smclter companies having four

and smelter companies having four
days.
1t is generally claimed by railroad
officials that the enforcement of the
new edict will work a hardship on
producers, more especially on those
producing the lower grade ores, as the
smelling companies will raise their
price to meet the increased charge for
equipment, and it may result IN the
abandonment Of the working of certain
ores, serious matter to this and other
mining sections.
Railroad officials insist that it should
be borne in mind that the companies
can obviate the difficulty to a great
extent by erecting shacks in which TO
store the ore and thus release the
equipment.
The present indications are that the
officials of the railroads and the smelt'
ers, together with the Interstate Com
mittee on Ore, will meet and confer on
the matter, as the smelter officials hold
that there can be no discrimination, as
the old rule applied equally to all
smelling companies and affected no
| other interests.
The companies included in the order
are the only concerns dealing in ores,
and as all are treated alike the ques-
tion is asked, where is the point Of
| discrimination involved9

TO LAUNCH CANNON'S
BOOM WITH FERVOR
This Will Be Principal Bust
ness of Illinois Republican
State Convention.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 20.-The
feature of the Republican State con-
vention which will meet here tomor-
row will be the Endorsement of Speak
er Joseph G. Cannon as the Repubh-
can nominee for the Presidency In
1908. This action was decided upon to-
night at a conference of State party
leaders held at the statehouse.
All factions in the party are united
in the movement to give Speaker Can
non g presidential boom as enthusias-
tic send-off as possible, and reso'
luton indorsing his candidacy VIII be
presented to the convention. Another
interesting event in the. proceedings to-,
morrow will be the Endorsement of
Senator Cullom for reelection to the
United States Senate. Senator Cullom
carried the recent primaries by good
majority, and no other name but his
will go before the convention for Sen
ator,
The indications are that the conven-
tion will be a harmonious one. The
offices to be filed are State Treasurer,
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
and three trustees of the State unlver
sity. The most interest is centercd in
the contest for State Treasurer, for
which there are four candidates. At
present it seems the fight is between
Andrew j. Russell and John F, Smul-
ski. The former claims 5SS votes and
the latter GIG; but Alden Knoph, with
10 votes, and j. B, Messick with III,
have enough votes TO prevent noml-
nation being made on the first ballot,
and where the votes will go when a
break comes seems to be in doubt
There are four candidates for Super
inteudent of Public Instruction,

AMERICAN FORK, Aug. 20.-Cloud-
bursts in the vicinity of the point Of
the mountain, about twelve miles north
of here, Monday, caused all kinds OF
trouble to the Salt Lake Route tracks
and traffic. The food caused three big
washouts in the vicinity Of the point
OF the mountain, the largest ono being
about halfmile wide.
The northbound train, which was due
to arrive In Salt Lake at 8 clock this
evening. was stopped by the washouts,
and In backing out ran into an engine
which was sent out to carry orders to
the train which was stopped by the
washout, and it is considered almost
miraculous that many were not injured.
The train was backing up at rate
of thirty miles an hour and was moving
under flag. The light engine came at a
good speed and the two met on curve
The engineer and fireman of the light
engine jumped, as did also several Of
the people who were In the rear car of
the passengers train. The rear end Of
the car was completely demolished and
lifted clear up on the top of an ems
bankment.. The front of the engine
was badly wrecked, but the passengers
who remained in the car escaped injury
The passengers on the train were
transferred to Lehi Junction and car
ried from there over to Provo, and con-
tinued to Salt Lake over the Rio
Grande Mestern

NEED MORE MONEY IN
RECLAMATION FUND
Receipts From Sale of Lands
Larger Than Expected;
Labor Costs More.
Special TO The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug 90
The announcement recently that re-
ceipts from the sale Of public lands
in the arid States and Territories
would increase the reclamation fund in
excess of estimates, has caused letters
to pour into the Reclamation Bureau
from settlers and Legislators, request
ing allotment of funds and the initia-
ton Of irrigation works in various To-
caiities.
The director cannot apportion recla-
nation funds, but merely calls the at
tention of the Secretary of the Inte
rior TO feasible projects.
Engineers of the reclamation service
are not losing sight of opportunities Of
extending the work and many projects
have been investigated and will be
taken under consideration as soon as
funds for their construction become
available. The Secretary of the Inte-
rior has already apportioned the fund
for some, years in advance, and al
though the receipts from the sale of
lands may be larger than anticipated
by the General Land Office, yet the in.
crease is more than offset by the re-
cent advance in the price of labor,
The rigid enforcement of the eight
hour law has also contributed to the
general increase in costs to contractors,
A number of prominent contractors are
failing or on the verge Of bankruptcy
and prices of construction are running
up rapidly. When the contractors be-
come unable to fulfill their contracts
the reclamation service is obliged to
carry on the work by paying higher
prices than the contractors can afford
to give. But even under such circum-
stances the labor supply is unequal to
the demand
A factor considered in allotting of
the reclamation fund is the fact that
there has already passed the Senate
and been favorably reported to the
House 4 bill taking $l000,000 out of
the reclamation fund for drainage in
North Dakota, and there are a num-
Der of other bills pending which is as
serted to have fair chance of pas
sage if the first bill gets through Con
gress. Under these circumstances the
department may not consider it advis-
able to enter upon any further projects
until the probable diminution of the
reclamation fund is made known.

STORY OF QUAKE IS
NOT YET KNOWN
Reports Received From Vari-
Gus Sources Are Not in Har-
mOny; All Are Bad.
ESTIMATES OF THE DEAD
STILL VARY GREATLY
Government Is Now Taking
Steps Taken for Organized
of the Refugees.

The earthquakes in Chile
have ceased, the resultant
fires have been eXtinguished,
and people of the two cities,
Valparaiso and Santiago, are
taking organized steps to
relieve suffering, care for
wounded and bury the dead.
The period of succOr has en-
tered.
Dispatches received from
Chile today tend to show that
the first estimates of casual
ties and material damage
had been greatly exagger-
ated and that the people of
Valparaiso are becoming
calmer. The fear of further
shocks has been removed by
a statement issued from the
observatory, and today it be-
came possible for the first
time to organize relief work
and begin a systematic
search of the ruins for the
dead.
Santiago is coming to the
rescue of her suffering sis
ter. Public subscriptions
have been opened for money,
clothing and provisions, and
the capital is caring for all
refugees from Valparaiso
who make their way across
the mountains.
The Government is putting
down pillage wherever il
breaks out, with troops.
1t is still impossible to
reach any correct estimate
of the dead and injured. The
reports from Chile are most
conflicting. A large section
of the country, however. was
visited by the catastrophe of
last Thursday, and cabled es-
Inmates of casualties refer in
some instances to particular
localities, notably Valpar-
also, and in others evidently
to the entire district which
suffered from the shock. The
number of dead in Valpar-
also doubtless will run into
the hundreds, and for the en-
tire country probably into
thousands. The property
damage is estimated at from
$2OO,OOO,O 900 to $30O,0O0,-
900.
