He does not forget he remembers men

cover that the President has read it. and
win recall it without a moments hesita-

TWO UTAH MEN DROWNED
BY CAPS|z|NG OF LAUNCH
Pleasure Party on Bear River Are
Dumped Into the Water and Two
Were Unable to Reach Shore.

Logan, Utah.-One of the most dis
.ressing accidents that has ever been
reported in Cache valley was the ac-
,idental drowning Tuesday even
ing of William B. Preston, Jr., and
Scion Barber. both of whom were
among the best known young men in
this section of the state. Frank K.
Nebeker, former district attorney,
and his brother, Horace Nebeker, to-
gether with Dr. Charles Gowans and
Roy S. McAllister, narrowly escaped
the fate of Preston and Barber.
The six men were riding on Bear
river near the Benson district in
gasoline launch. about o'clock Tues
day night, when they attempted to
pass under a railroad bridge. The
launch struck one of the supporting
piles and, turning over, sank almost
instantly. The two Nebekers, Cow
ems and McAllister were thrown clear
and managed to swim safely to shore.
Preston and Barber were, it is be-
Iieved, caught under the launch. AS
far as any member of the party knows,
neither came to the surface after the
disaster.
The disaster has caused the great
est distress in Logan, where Barber
and Preston were most highly regard
ed. Preston is the son of w. B. Pres
ton, the presiding bishop of the Nor
mon church at Salt Lake. He had
been engaged in business here for
some years. Barber was a brother OF
A. G. Barber, former state senator.
He was connected by blood or mar
riage with many prominent Cache
valley families.

Inventor of a New Telegraph Ma
chine Would Solve Strike Problem

Carson, New. H. Valentine,
the inventor of a machine to send
telegraph messages without the use of
an expert operator, left the city Fri
day evening. He came down from
Lake Tahoe several days ago, AMI
while there met man named Foss
at the Arlington hotel, who came here
from Chicago. The two were clOseted
together several days and it is
known that Foss, when he left here,
had authority to deal with one of the
big telegraph companies for the eX-
elusive rights of the machine.
There was no exhibition of the ma
chine here, but it is known that Val
entine represents the same machine
which was exhibited in Los Angeles
a few weeks ago. 1t sends messages
actuated by typewriter and receives
them by printing them automatically
on a sheet of paper so that the mes
sage looks like ordinary typewriting.
No other operator is required at the
receiving end and the message sent
is duplicated on the sending machine.
Mr. Valentine admitted that the
company was about to establish sta
tons in Nevada as the service could
be made with or without wires

Men on the Colorado G. Southern Go

Denver, Colo-The Colorado &c
Southern strike is over. There will
be no strike on the Denver & Rio
Grande. This is the result of the con-

ing between the railroad officials and
Grand Master Morrissey. At an adj
journed conference an agreement was

eral managers and other railroad Of
ficials, representing every road to the
coast. The two cent demand of the

affected. Every man is to be restored
to his former position and the strike
breakers discharged.
