SEEING POINTS Of
GENERAL INTEREST
Prominent Resident of Uncle
Joe CannOn's Home Visiting
Salt Lake.
LIKES APPEARANCE
OF UTAH METROPOLIS
Declares Speaker Cannon Is in
No Sense Candidate for
Presidency.

John Timm and wife of Danville,
Ill, are visiting Salt Lake and are
guests at the Cullen hotel. Mr., Timm
spent Thursday in visiting tho diff
ferent points OF interest in the city,
and expressed himself as highly pleased
with what he has thus far seen. This
intermountain country is to hIm grand
and fascinating. In passing over it,
Mr.. Timm says. it heightens ones
conceptions Of this great country and
makes him feel prouder than ever of
his American citizenship.
Regarding Business Conditions.
Speaking Of business conditions at
his home in Eastern Illinois, Mr.. Timms
said:
"Danville is one of the liveliest cities
Of its size in the country. 1t is great
railroad center, and boasts population
Of 10000 people. Within its limits are
forty-hve miles of paved streets In
the way of paved streets and fine build
ings it is ahead of many cities twice
its size.
."Danville is one of the greatest coal
producing points in the country The
coal fields there appear TO be imitless.
For miles around the city, the farmers
nave SOld InG Underground coal flSnLS
for from 5000 TO $500 per acre. The
consequence is the farmers in that sec
ton are nearly all rich
Home of Uncle Joe,
"Danville is the home Of Speaker
Joseph G.. Cannon, is it not?''
''Yes, and we are all proud of Uncle
Joe. He has done much to aid in build
ing up the city. He is popular with
all parties, and were he few years
younger, his neighbors think there is
no power on earth that could keep him
out of the presidential chair. But Mr..
Cannon does not aspire to be President.
He has given the greater portion of his
life to the service of his country, and
has discharged the duties which have
been assigned TO him with fidelity and
great ability.
Appreciates the Honor.
f'He appreciates greatly the honors
which have been conferred upon him,
and when he was made speaker of the
II louise OF Representative he had about
reached the acme of his ambition. This
at least is what he confides to his in
innate friends.
Mr.. Timm and party leave here in
a day or two for Los Angeles via San
Francisco, where they will spend the
winter.

SUPREME COURT
AFF|RMS JUDGMENT
Complicated Case Wherein Four
Railroad Companies Are
Made Defendants.
JUDGMENT RECOVERED
In LOWER COURT
Plaintiff Struck by COnglOm-
Grated Train in December
Of Last Year.

In case of train accident, where the
engine belonged TO the Union Pacific.
the cars attached thereto TO the South
ern Pacific, and the train crew was hired
by the Oregon Short Line and paid by
the Union Pacific, the State Supreme
court held Friday that the liability at.
tached TO all three corporations, and
affirmed a Judgment to that effect rem
dered by the Second District court, sit
ting at Ogden.
The title of the case was that of
William Brown, respondent, versus the
Union Pacific, Ogden Railway and De
pot company, Southern Pacific, and
Oregon Short Line, respondents. Brown
was struck by the conglomerated train
in question on December Z, 1905, while
driving along in a buggy. The train
was switching In the Ogden yards at
the time He sued the companies and
recovered q Judgment in the lower court
for S2069.
The defendants each and all denied
responsibility, and filed answers tend
ing TO shift the responsibility from one
to the other. The Supreme court holds
that there is no showing that the Og-
den Railway and Depot company was
responsible for the accident, but holds
that a community of operation and re-
sponsibility is clearly shown against the
other roads, and that the Judgment APP
plies equally TO all of them.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice McCarty and concurred in by
Justices Straup and Frick.

Put on Same Train with Body of Ne

Forced All of Them, Some Half

New Orleans, July 1.-THE work OF
a remarkable city housekeeping party
which placed $50 negro men and WON
en- on board passenger train at Lake
Charles, La, and shipped them out of
the town and parish is told in the dis
patches to this place. They were
placed on the same train with the
body of a negro who last week shot

in Jail at Lake Charles from wounds
received while attempting to avoid ar
rest. Shortly before midnight the

LATE sowN GRAIN DAMAGED.
But Big Crop Of Early sown Wheat 4

Assured.
From the Portland Oregonian comes
the report that the hot winds Of the
past few days have fastened the rip
ening of wheat and other cereals in
the Inland Empire. In the Palouse,
the fall and winter grain has come
through the ordeal very well and the
harvest is yielding an average of 80
bushels to the acre. Late sown grain
has been shriveled to some extent by
the intense heat.
In Sherman and Wasco counties the
farmers estimate the loss as high as
SO per cent, though it may be less. In
Sherman county some of the wheat is
being cut for hay, but as the price OF
hay is good, there will not be much
lose.
Wheat harvest in the Eureka fiat
country, Walla Walla county, will be
gin next week. Two days Of hot wind
have done great damage to wheat in
the milk. The loss is estimated as
high as rs per cent to the late sown
wheat. In the Washtucna region har
vesting will not begin for 20 days
Hillside fall and spring wheat in Whit
man county has felt the i'll effects OF
the very warm days.
Umatilla county will turn out about
4,UvO,00O bushels, despite the loss by
early freezing and the hot weather.

cANE-sEAT CHAIRS CONDEMNED.

Smooth-Surface sTourist" Chairs
Now Declared Most Unhealthy.
The tourist sleeping car used on the
railroad lines beyond Chicago and St
Louis have been spoken Of frequently
as more sanitary than the upholstered
Pullmans, and, therefore, in addition
to their cheapness, a desirable point to
most Of the sick travellers, they were
supposed to be cleaner, for the seats
are covered with cane and have no
hooks to harbor dust and germs. Ply
sicians have strongly denounced the up
holstered cars as promoters Of the
spread of tuberculosis. The railroad
people have had some tests made to or
set that denunciation with statistics
DR.. Charles B. Dudley, the chief chem
list Of the Pennsylvania Railroad, has
made an Investigation of the contents
Of car upholstery, and has reported to
the American Public Health Associa-
ton. DIR. Dudley shows that prolonged
exposure to tuberculosis in the air is
necessary If travellers are to take the
disease from this source of infection.
He says that two days of strong light
and five days Of diffused light win
sterilize the germs. This argument
does not seem to show that passengers
bound to the West in tourist sleepers
with tuberculosis patients may not run
the risk of infection, especially If they
are in delicate health, and prepared to
contract the disease. No germs were
found from the examinations made of
the contents of the ears known to have
been occupied by passengers suffering
from tuberculosis. In ninety-six exam
nations Of the air found in such cars
only one test showed the presence Of
the bacillus. To inform himself as to
the relative danger of textile fabrics
and smooth surfaces, DR.. Dudley made
experiments with several kinds in each
class, and his results go to show that
danger from infection from upholstered
furniture is much less than from the
naked. smooth surfaces. = Brooklyn
