MANAGER WELLS
PARTY RETURNS
PRAISES PROSPECTS ALONG
THE SALE LAKE SYSTEM
Clark Properties Building Up Califor-
MIA and Spending Capital Freely.
Col. Randolph Discusses
Mexico Rumors

General Manager r. E. Wells of the
Salt Lake road returned last night
from an inspection trip of the system,
remarking that he had never had a
pleasanter trip and never saw prospects
for business better.
Because of Senator w. A. Clark's re-
cent visit to Los Angeles and the series
of interviews given out by the Montana
capitalist, indicating significant i'm
provements in this and other systems
tributary to Los Angeles, the eyes of
railroad men are centered on the Clark
properties ~
There are many problems to be dis
posed of in such a great undertaking
as the Salt Lake SYSTEM but just now
special interest is manifested by Cali
fornians in the proposition from san
Pedro to the orient in connection With
the Clark and kindred interests.
The only line now in operation in
that service is the Java-China Export
company, plying between Java ana the
United States and some of the Chinese
ports. Heads of the Salt Lake system
admit that the line is possibility, put
insist that an intimation that active
steps have been taken toward floating
the project are entirely premature and
misleading at this time.
Mr.. Clark's party and Mr.. Wells
which left later. are paying particular
attention to the Phoebe district in Ne
vada and the ,-as Vegas Buifrog
branch which is now being pushed.
The Phoebe section is one that had
a silver boom and shrinkage, but is
coming to the front again. An old
branch was taken over, 1t is under
stood, by the Salt Lake some time ago
in the Phoebe district, but If it is used
the strip will have to be overhauled
entirely.
Work on the Las Vegas-Bu.lfrog
property is progressing as fast as pos
sible with the Tonopah and Goldfeld
districts as the final destinations, but
the Pacific sailors strike has tied up
many shipments of ties and the scarcity
of labor has delayed the hopes of the
projectors of the line.
Manager Wells expects to catch up
with accumulated work in the next few
days and with his efficient staff is busy
building up California through his
vast system of railroads through new
territory.

DISCUSSES NEVADA PROSPECTS
Surveyor Finds 1903 Degree Weather,
but Not Oppressive

S. w. Conwell, formerly connected
with an engineering party during the
construction of the Ogden-Lu cut
Off, talked Interestingly of railroad
prospects in southern Nevada. Mr..
Conwell is now connected with the sur
yeying corps of the Tonopah & Gold
field railroad.
He said that the grade now extends
for distance of about ten miles south
OF Goldfeld toward Bullfrog and that
the track laying on this stretch of
grade will commence within a short
time.
For the past ten days that section
OF country has been visited by a rain
storm every day and the heat has been
made less insufferable. The day before
left the thermometer registered 1OS
degrees in the shade at Goldheld but
the heat is not of the humid, oppressive
kind, otherwise people wouldn't be able
to endure 1t. The elevation of Gold
field is 800 feet, and the air is both
rare and pure
There is plenty of work and men
are being paid good wages. At Bull
frog common laborers of any kind are
getting $4 80 per day, while at Gold
field the wage is 81 per day. L was of
fered 81 per day to do carpenter work
but the wages were not tempting
enough i'm view Of the fact that l had
much better position"

WOMAN TURNS
JOKE ON MEN

A rather amusing incident occurred
at the county registers office yester-
day when Clerk Lang attempted to
make out a marriage license for a
couple who entered the office
Calling the man to the desk, he in
quired; you want a marriage Ii
cense, don't you?"
"Well," he responded, turning to his
companion, 1--WE been trying to talk
her into it,"
Lang looked inquiringly at the lady,
who began to sit up and take notice
about this time.
HE has belonged to me for the last
fifteen years" she said.
oh" said Lang, 81 thought I'd make
it a little closer"
"No, thanks" said the lady, this
is close enough to suit me-
Question'-Was the laugh that fol-
lowed on the clerk or on the husband ?

patches from Ell Paso and New Orleans
Col. Epes Randolph manager of the
Southern Pacific railroad interests ii
Arizona and Mexico, said this evening
Il returned from Mexico only few
days ago. L spent two weeks in the
City of Mexico and several days al
Guadalajara and other cities of the in
terror of the republic.
Il never heard a hint of the reported
preparations for revolt or revolution. |
found the best of feeling prevailing
everywhere, the people at work de-
veloping the resources of the country
establishing great industries and MAX
ing money.
Made Careful Inquiry
Il made careful inquiry regarding in
dustfial conditions, and everything
looked good. So far as could see the
natives and foreigners were working to-
gether shoulder to shoulder, each in the
best of spirits.
Il take no stock whatever in these
alarmist reports and feel satisfied they
are without a basis of truth.
Il am directing extensive railroad
building in Mexico and if there were
any danger of unsettled conditions |
would be apt to know of it. 1 talked
with all classes of people during my re-
cent visit and not suggestion came
from any source that trouble was brew
ing.
Il have no more fear of revolution
and revolt in Mexico than in this coun-
try. These wild reports sent abroad are
Tor some extraneous purpose and will
soon be proved to be false. The best of
relations exist between the natives and
foreigners
The Mexican consul at this place also
gives emphatic denial to all reports of
anticipated trouble.

"STTCk TO THE SOIL"
is NOT GOOD ADVICE
SAYS COUNCILMAN
GEORGE A. SMITH DISCUSSES SUBJECT
One of Los Angeles Most Successful Men in Public
Life Declares Lot of Farmer Is Not as
Joyful as Portrayed by President
Roosevelt in Recent Speech

/ dents, | do not altogether agree with
him. The moral force of q man or a
class Of men is measured by their
ability to Withstand temptation and
farmers cannot be said to be stronger
morally than city people for the reason
that they are not exposed to one-tenth
the temptation to which person liv-
ing In city Is subjected
1.-THE statistics quoted show that the
assertion that farmers are more gem
orally prosperous than any other class
is untrue. There is hardly any other
class of workers who get such a small
portion of the wealth they create as the
farming class.
How many farms of the east and
middle west, or in fact of any section
of the country, are entirely free from
incumbrance? Not ten per cent. In
the cast farmer who has not a mort
gage on his farm which keeps him
working up to capacity and worrying
the rest of the time about how he will
pay the interest this year. is a rarity
Farmers may be happier than any
other class of people, but in view of the
life that they lead | doubt it. Con-
stant, daylight till dark, manual labor
every day In the year. Is not conducive
to the development of any mans higher
nature and that is the life of the aver
age farmer.
Constant Toll Kills Ambition
"Then looking at 1t from another
angle Many people say that the COM
paratively small income of the farmer
is all that he needs as he raises. most of
what he eats. The ordinary farmer. the
man of whom we are speaking
now, eats what he cannot sell, and
many farmers sell their garden stuff
and buy canned vegetables That is
highly improvident, no one will deny,
but it is done by countless farmers.
"The work on farm is deadening to
ambition and to the.intellect alike. ANY
man who has shaved for ten or fifteen
years on a farm, the soil of which
does not respond readily to his work,
must have lost whatever of fineness
that he originally possessed and any am
bition he might ever have had of bet
tering his condition is certainly gone.
All that he knows at the end of the
struggle for existence such as l have
described is to get up in the morning
before daylight and work until after
dark, so that his work begins and ends
by the light of lantern.
Anyone who has ever followed the
plow and done all the other routine
work of a farm can appreciate the in
termnable labor that such an existence
calls for.
stick to the soil is good advice, for
we must have farmers, but boy or
girl with ambition and ability should
leave the heart-breaking, soul-deaden-
ing drudgery of the farm and go to the
city where with fair amount of per-
sistence and an ordinary amount of
endeavor a comfortable existence may
be had"

WOULD PREVENT TRAIN FIRES
Pocatello Men Devise Wood Fiber
Overhead Water Tank

Three Pocatello, Idaho, men have in
vented what they and their friends be-
lieve to be one of the most important
railway appliances of the age.
1t is a fire extinguisher for attach
ment to passenger, mail, baggage and
Pullman cars.
The appliance consists of tank made
Of wood fiber, to be attached on either
side of the car, along the curved roof.
Each tank contains from 100 to $50
gallons of water, according to the size
adopted, and is equipped with six taps,
conveniently located for attachment of
hose carried on the car roof in a box.
Interior connections may be made
with conveniently coiled hose fixed to a
tap within the car A steam pipe runs
through each tank to guard against
freezing in the winter time. The tanks
are made of wood fiber, thus prevent
ing the wreck catching fire. The idea
originated with Jerry Kinney, a Short
Line conductor.

~ recent address made bv Pres

TN q recent address made by President
Roosevelt to the students of the ag-
ricultural college in Michigan, ne
strongly advised the young men and
women of the school to stick to the
soil.
In explanation of the advice the
president said that farm people are
stronger, physically and morally, more
prosperous and generally happier than
any other class of laboring people.
Many of the most successful, men in
Los Angeles were born and lived their
earlier years on farm, but with hardly
an exception they realized their success
I'm life after they had left the farm and
entered some line of business.
The first man questioned said things
which are not in accord with the ad-
vice of the president. George A. Smith,
councilman for the Fifth ward and one
of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles,
said "Stick to the soil is very good
advice for the president to give-for the
good of the rest of the population of the
country. There must be a great many
farmers and from that standpoint his
advice was pertinent and justifable.
But as to the career which farm life
offers boy or girl, there Is practically
no opportunity for advancement
Whenever you hear of a man who has
is almost certainty that If he had ap-
piled his talents to business he would
have made more of a success than he
did.
Farmers Make $4o0 a Year
Last year the farm products of the
entire United States amounted in value
to four billion dollars. In the United
States there are four million farmers,
farm hands and farm tenants This
gives each man, or would If he got the
lars.
-Four hundred dollars a year is not
an income that would appeal to many,
and when one considers that out of
that amount the farmer must buy agri-
cultural implements, clothing for him
self and family, and educate his
children it seems pitifully inadequate.
81 remained on my fathers farm
back east until L was thirteen years
old when l started out as clerk in
little country store. Within few years
1 had little business of my own and
since then l have been successful in
business, especially with mines.
THE statement which the pdesident
makes that farm people are stronger
physically and morally than city
dwellers l do not believe. Farm peo-
pie are almost always overworked, es-
pecially in the eastern part of the
country where the soil is not rich and
where small farms are the rule. Farm
people age more quickly than others
and die younger.

Refuse San Francisco Freight

PORTLAND, July 21.-Orders have
been issued by the Southern Pacific for
agents to refuse to accept cars loaded
with lumber for San Francisco and
Oakland until further notice.
This was caused by the congestion
at the Bay city, where it is said fully
5000 loaded cars are being held owing to
the inability of the consignees to dis
charge their contents. This in turn
has caused car shortage in the north.
No date has been set for the can
collation. of the new order and 1t is
supposed that lumber will be refused
for the devastated city until the con-
gestion has been largely relieved.
