had been accorded by that committee lie

warmth that he had intimated to Mr
CritchlOw that the meeting was TO be
secret
Mr.. Clegg was not prepared at this time
to vote on the railroad commission bill.
Mr.. Clegg referred to the 1000 names on
the petitions and unqualifiedly announced
himself in favor of letting the bill come
up and not to let il die in the manner
which threatened its end. Mr.. Clegg said
that there were great evils in Utah as
the result of the railroad abuses; the re-
cent coal famine was only one of them
he said. How" he asked, ARE these
evils to be met and overcome if this
measure is to be choked to death? What
other measure is there that serves to take
its placer None. And now the time has
passed when another bill having the same
aims in view can be introduced and pass
ed
Mr.. Mills did not believe the bill should
be smOthered: il was worthy Of being
discussed to the fullest extent.

HERO v THE TOWN..
J. D. Adams at Hatton, WASH, Doe.
Daring Piece Of Work-erabbed
Giant Powder From Fire.

Hatton, Wash, July 22.-At the rich
of his own life, J. D. Adams rusboS
among kegs and boxes Of black ANA
giant powder to extinguish burnins
hay which had ignited from snarts
from a passing locomotive.
During the morning hours a crew n,
teamsters from the railroad camns ~
the st. Paul road started In to unload
a car of powder which had hoen
spotted" on the siding next to the
depot, and just down the hill from
the town,
The car stood on what is known 90
the rear house track, placing the de-
pot between it and the main linz
where 1t is also necessary for teams
to come to unload, bringing them
within a few feet of passing trains
from either direction. Both teamstar
and helper had been carrying the
giant powder from the car onto tbe
wagon, and had almost the entire
body of the wagon filed when a train
was heard approaching, making 1t nee.
essary that the driver get upon the
seat to give attention to his team
which was becoming frightened at
the approaching cars.
1t was while in this position and
during the time the helper was in the
car shifting boxes for hauling that
sparks from the passing locomotive
fell among the hay, which was in the
bottom of the wagon to lessen the
lar of the load in hauling, igniting II
! among the boxes Of dynamite which
l we're piled high in front, causing a
D large blaze, which was discovered by
Mr.. Adams when he came out of the
5 car carrying a key of powder to com.

e Having had experience in handling
freight of this class, Mr.. Adams at
once recognized the danger in which
& himself and the whole town were
placed should the explosion occur.
e without saying a word to the driv

II boxes in every direction and scatter

HOMER HEMENWAY
HURT In DENVER

An accident married the opening
session of the fifth annual convention
of the Colorado and Wyoming Lumber
Dealers association in Convention hall
OF the Albany hotel. III. HI. Hemen-
way of Colorado Springs, secretary,
affectionately called dad" fell in
the lobby of the hotel and sprained
his right arm.
Hemenway is a pioneer lumberman
OF Colorado Springs. 1t was while
walking from the elevator to the con-
vention hall that the accident hap
pened. Tilers had been at work on
the floor and boards had been laid to
protect the new flooring. Hemenway
stepped on one of these, which slipped
from under him, throwing him for
chilly to the hard floor. His whole
weight was sustained in the fall by the
right arm, which was sprained at the
wrist and shoulder.
DIR. f. E. Prewitt, house physician
of the Albany, attended the patient,
and stated that the injured man would
be days in recovering. Hemenway,
although his arm panied him severely,
remained through the afternoon ses-
sion of the convention, but last night
the pain became so great that he had
to retire and the surgeon says it will
probably be several days before he is
out of his apartment.-Denyer Daily

TO APPOINT TRAFFIC MAN

A meeting of paper mill manufac-
turers, representing every mill in
Wisconsin and several at Minneapolis
and ST. Paul, was held in Menasha
recently, to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of organizing traffic association.
Ell. D. Smith, of the Riverside Paper
company of Appleton and J. E.
Thomas of the Wisconsin Tissue Pa
per company of the same city were
elected chairman and secretary re-
spectively. The general opinion man.
ifested was that the best interests
of the paper men required an organi-
zation that would employ traffic
man whose duty will be to look after
the freight interests of all the mills
to assure an equal footing in the mat
ter of shipment and rates, locality be-
ing considered.
A local member stated that this is
in no sense a trust organization, as
nothing will be considered by their
bureau except freight rates and rail
road matter pertaining to their COM
modities. He stated that this meet
ing simply outlined plan of action,
and that a meeting will be called in
the near future to perfect a perma-
nant organization. The plan offered
is to place a man in Chicago who will
look after all shipments, trace cars
and observe their freight interests in
general.
