BOOM BUSTED

Reports from Winnipeg and the Can
adian northwest are to the effect that
both in the city and in the country the
"boom" is off. To all old timers this
was an expected event. 1t has happen
in all new countries as to land and to all
cities as to city lots. In time, the lands
will resume their actual values, but how
long that will be depends on many
things of the future that are not now
known. As to Winnipeg,it has always
been wonder to the conservative on
locker. What there was to make a
great city grow up on the open prairie
no one can tell. OF course it has been
the great stopping-of place for thous-
ands of people on their way to the west,
and has also been the center of a very
large trade, occasioned by the influx of
new settlers who had everything to buy,
but these arc only present conditions
and not for the future. Other towns
are already considered rivals to Winni-
peg, inIboth these matters,-and in no
case will these casuses of prosperity be
permanent.
There is only one thing that can make
Winnipeg hold it's own in its rivalry
with the smaller cities and that is man
ufactures. Agricultural trade is not a
builder of cities hardly of large towns.
A glance:at the map of the great rich
middle states of the United State will
prove this. st. Paul was good sized
city when Minneapolis was a village,
st. Paul had the whole lRde of the
great open northwest. To-day st. Paul
is the smaller city Of twins. The reason
is plain to all. Minneapolis had water
power and built mills. Winnipeg must
have the manufactures or she will fail in
her ambitions. But Winnipeg has no
water power and fuel with which to
make steam and electricity is high
priced.
The Canadian northwest is suffering
now in their real estate from outside in

Harvest and Weather

Well, we had the frost all right. Mon
day night it looked pretty dubious with
the thermometer falling rapidly towards
the polar regions, but about one o'clock
in the night, the wind changed from
the north and some clouds came up and
there was no frost in this immediate
locality though traces were evident in
near localities. On Tuesday it was ap-
parently warmer but Jack came like.
thief in the night and touched up spots
here and there of the more tender gar
den stuff. In other places the gardens
were not touched at all. Notably in the
writer's garden,the cucumber vines were
killed, while in John Auderson's garden
adjoining, cucumbers not more than
fortyi feet away, were not harmed at
all. Some garden stuff at Macarthur in
Guiding corn and potatoes were badly
frosted. The damage to the wheat if
any, was probably very slight but with
out doubt all the elevators were hit
hard-as they always are. Elevators
are notoriously very susceptible to the
cold.
Considerable barley and oats have
been cut this past week and some of the
earlier wheat will be cut to-day and to-
morrow and by the last of next week
wheat cutting will be general.

ed severe frost on the Monday nights

Sunday night and that is where the
cold::wave came from. On Sunday st.
Paul, Minneapolis and vicinity had de-
structive wind storm which blew down
cottages of lake dwellers and two per-
sons were killed and large number
badly injured. =

Did Not Violate Contract
With 0'Neill.

In the case Of J. p. O'Neill. appellant,
against Ogden Aerie lis, Fraternal Order

Judgment Of the lower court is affirmed
with costs.
The original action grew out of the
renting of the third floor of an ogden
building by ONeill to the Eagles. Ac-
cOrdinS to the complaint the Eagles made
so much noise that the peace and quiet
ness of the other tenants was disturbed.
According to an agreement entered into
prior to the renting of the floor the
Eagles were not to use the rooms for
other than lodge purposes, yet nOtwith-
standing this fact the complaint Tecites
that card parties were held and dancing

TUDOR CAMERON SAYS IT'S A TICKlSH SENSATION
TO RIDE THROUGH A FLOOD IN A PULLMAN

81 have been in a number of wrecks in
my day" said Tudor Cameron at the VIII
son yesterday, but quite the most tick
lish sensation | ever experienced was last
Tuesday night when the train upon which
/ was travelling out Of Sacramento passed
through high water up to the second step
of the Pullman vestibule.
1T was late at night when We reached
a section of the road which the porter
called the 1owlauds' this side of Sacra-
mentO. The train slowed up and for
long time Travelled at about five miles
an hour. Water was up TO the second
step of the Pullman and all around US re-
sembled a vast river. The train rocked
from left 10 right with every turn of
the wheels and we expected to be dumped
into the swollen waters at any moment.
But / presume the track had been tested
before the passenger train was permitted
to pass over it, for We arrived safely at
the eastern extremity of the dangerous
section.
THE train upon which l was travelling
was the last until yesterday to pass the
Truckee river. The bridge had been
washed out a number of hours before we

Tells OF PRISON WORK
Rev. P. A. Simpkin Recites History
Of Men That Have Been
Reclaimed,

Christian work and its good results in
the Utah pententiaTy were told by Rev.
Z. \. Simpkiu when he addressed tho
W. G r. L. by request at It's meeting
at the Davis Deaconess home yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Simpkin said it is import
ant to reach into the lives of the con-
victs, many of them are there through
misfortune and may be turned to paths
of usefulness. He illustrated three classes
of cOnvictS by giving the history of three
men who have been liberated from the
Utah prison in the last four years and
are in positions Of trust and living cor
rect lives. The men represented the hab-
itual criminal. who had been i'm prison
before; the man that had committed crime
through drink; and the man that had
yielded a trust through sudden teupta-
ton. Mr. Simpkin told of another man,
who had beer converted in the Salt Lake
Jail four years ago and is now in charge
of the Salvation Army work in a large
city Of the west.
Most of them in the penitentiary get
there through drink. he said, and prison
work, therefore, merits the attention of
the W. G. I. l.
Mrs. Grace Heikes Anness spoke of the
prison work of the young people of the
evangelical churches of Salt Lake. The
young people held meetings for the con-
viCts every Sunday afternoon.
