The operations OF the Y. s. Reclama-
tion service in Utah during 1906 have
been confined almost exclusively to the
developments In the Strawberry Valley
project, the construction Of which was
determined upon late In the year 1906.
The developments We're well determined
upon during the winter of 1906 and 1906,
and work of construction was begun IN
May. 1906. as early as 1t was feasible
10 get men and teams onto the ground,
The work OF greatest magnitude on the
project, and the part requiring the long
est time is the 10000 foot tunnel through
the rim Of the great basin. This must
be completed before any benefits what
ever can be derived from the work.

COMPANY HOSPITALS.

Another innovation which has been
Instituted by the company during the
past three years has been the erection
of company hospitals, and the system
whereby each employee by paying
small assessment monthly is entitled
to medical and surgical treatment for
himself and medical treatment for the
members OF his family.
OF these hospitals there are four,
which We're built by the Utah
Fuel company. The establishment at
Castle Gate Is under the charge OF DR.,
Neher; that at Clear Creek. DR., Aller-
SON at Winter Quarters, DR.. e. b. Els
green, and the one at sunnyside is un-
der the administration Of DR.. A. w.

The system has proved to be sue
cess, and the coal diggers together
with their wives and families, appreci-
ate the boon.
COMPANY STORES.
When 1t comes to food, clothing. gro
oeries and luxurles, the Wasatch Store
company, which is an offshoot Of the
Utah Fuel company. supplies all the
wants of the employees. With stores
at each Of the camps carrying big
stocks Of goods equal to those of large
cities and a credit system. none has
to go outside Of the limits of the camp
to secure his supplies. whether 1t be

THE OUTLOOK.
The outlook is that this tonnage will
be greatly increased in the future for
just as soon as the Western Pacific Is
built there win be a big market for
coal, in addition to that already exist
ing in Utah and which at the present
time takes a big percentage of the out
put.
WESTERN PACIFIC.
with the Western Pacific completed
this railroad viii consume thousands of
tons Of fuel for its motive power to
say nothing of that required in the
mining camps and towns along the
route. Then. too, there will be a big
market for the coal and coke in San
Francisco both for local consumption
and export, all OF which makes the
future Of the Utah Fuel company an
exceedingly bright one.
STABLE or AVERAGES,
The tonnage during the past year was
contributed by the respective mines In
accordance with the following table,
which also sets forth the average num-
Der Of employees per month, the num-
Der of days each mine was worked dur

Probably the most destructive wind
storm that ever visited the Salt Lake
valley occurred Saturday and sunday,
Oct. 20 and 81. From its inception,
at 10 O'Clock Saturday night, the UNI
steady northeast storm wind contin-
ued until early Sunday afternoon. ex-
IRENE velocities OF a mile d minute
recurring at frequent intervals
throughout nearly all of the Ii hours.
The greatest damage occurred from
Salt Lake City TO Ogden. and from
the mountains to the lake. Sunday
mornings daylight frightened a
cloudy sky and revealed scene of
great destruction. The damage by
the tempest was mostly done in the
three hours just preceding daylight
when the wind was highest, momen-
tary velocities evidently being much
higher than the mile-a-minute rate.
Many hundreds of gigantic shade
trees carrying tons of dirt were pros
trated across the streets amid tangles
of live electric wires and broken poles.
Thousands of window panes were
broken, and dozens of large buildings
were unroofed while many smaller
ones We're tumbled over or collapsed.
The large liberty statue surmounting
the magnificent City and County
building was bent far to the west
ward, and a lower statue, Justice"
was dashed to the pavement and de-
stroyed. Some passenger coaches and
box cars were blown from the rail-
road tracks in the vicinity of Boun-
tiful and Pennington, and an entire
freight train except the engine was
overturned near Centeryille. Many
miles Of telegraph and telephone poles
the interurban districts were greatly
damaged.

Authorities and Relatives Look.
ing for Perpetrators Of
Crime.
WAS KILLED At BOONE
Robbery Seems to Be the Only Met;v.
for the Foul Murder Committed
last Week-companisns
Now Missing.

Webster City, Ia, May 5.--Fi.e rela-
tives i'm this city of Ed Morse, who last
week was murdered in Boone. Will see
that the crime is thoroughly investi-
gated. and hope to bring to justice the
men who are guilty of the assassina-
tion. The Boone authorities, too, are
hard at work on the affair and are
making such Investigation as they can
and following such clews as can be
found. They are searching first of all
for Morse's companions.
That the young man was murdered,
there is now no doubt. Further than
this. the deed must also have been
planned. Robbery was the only motive
that can be assigned AT the inquest
il WAS proved that MIR. Morse was not
Intoxicated. and that he had not been
drinking during his stay i'm Boone. Two
men We're with him and they were
staying together at the same hotel. A
fire broke out nearby in the night time
and the three men left the hotel TO see
1t. This is the last ever seen of Morse
until lie was found mortally wounded
the following morning. He had evil
IDENTITY been struck over the head With
IL lead or iron pipe, which practically
fractured every bone in his skull He
was -sti'l alive but unconscious when
found. and lived forty-eight hours, all
though he never regained conscious
ness. Morse had on his person not TO
exceed $20. but since his pockets had
been ritied. however. it seems TO be
certain that robbery and nothing else
was the motive.
Morse's relatives in this city, Mrs.
Professor Gerber and Miss Dora Morse,
Il music teacher. and his brother. Dr.
Morse. of Eagle Grove. are Very promi-
nant people. Only Il few days prior TO
his death Morse had left Knoxville
with So cash in his pocket. His sister,
Miss Dora. met him at Ames, and as
he MAS expecting To go north to work
for railroad company and would need
some expense money, gave him $50
more. This Was all he had.
1t WAS expected that there would be
some important developments before
this time, but the death of the young
fellow will be probed further by the
relatives and every effort made to
strike upon some clew soon.
Police everywhere have been fur
aished with descriptions of NIorses
companions and are looking for them.

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, Journalist
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern condi-
tons to the active and sometimes over
active use OF the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate Of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day. il we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate Of pot
ash, as presented in certain field grains.
has an affinity for albumen and that is
the only way gray matter in the brain
can be built. 1t will not answer to take
the crude phosphate of potash of the
drug shop, for nature rejects 1t. The
elemental mineral must be presented
through food directly from Natures
laboratory.
These facts have been made use of in
the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and
any brain worker can prove the value
OF the proper selection of food by max
ing free use of Grape Nuts for ten days
or two weeks. Sold by grocers every
where (and in immense quantities).

Westinghouse is predicted at Tho
agricultural department that the IL
year locusts will bear down on Wash
ington about the last week in Nav. or
course the department does not call
the pest 17-year locust. 1t calls IL n
cicada. The first assistant entomolo-
gist, c. L. Iarlatt. has prepared a bul-
letin telling all about the cicada. He
says it is the longest loved insect known
10 science in America. The little insects
come out of the ground in droves. They
fill the earth with tiny holes and plant
their eggs in trees and shrubbery. The
cicada's life is brief after it's appear
ance in the open. but it has time to
place its eggs which seventeen years
later bring forth other millions of its
kind.
