Burns Not Real Classy.

Burns cannot be hailed as a great
scTapper on his performance in this set
10. He is dOggedly persistent, like
Lattllng Nelson. and goes after his man
with right swings. varied By left over
hand wallops and occasional punches for
the body. But he is lacking in that
quickness and deXterity in changing pace
which distinguishes a sure-enOugh
clever man from the rough-and-ready
fighter
Throughout the proceedings O'Brien
onended seriously by holding in clinches.
Jenries Was the hardest worked man IN
The ring, and IL was all this man-moun-

tactics did not help To make il more

BUY CANE LANDS IN CUBA
M. S. Browning and His Associates
to Go Into the Sugar
Business.

NJ. S. Browning returned yesterday from
Cuba, where he went to investigate the
wisdom of an investment in cane sugar
lands. Although Mr.. Browning was en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of the in
dustry in Cuba, he holds that the time
He admitted. however, that he had Sc
cured 1900 acres of land, providing that
clear title to it could be given, and said
that those who had taken up the pro-
ject would carry it through and that be-
fore many years Utah capital would be
producing cane sugar on the island
There are two things that stand out
against the proposition of investing there
with view TO establishing a sugar
plant said Mr.. Browning last night
One of them is the unsettled condition
of the country, and the other is the
scarcity of labor. The lower classes are
decidedly bitter against the American
people. They say they whipped Spain
and believe they can defeat the United
States at war. If they cannot do 1t
alone, they assert they can form a coal
ltion with Japan and do it. The higher
classes however, want to get as close to
the Americans as possible, realizing what
this country has done for them. As soon
as the United States soldiers leave Cuba
there viii be a row. Labor is scarce at
present and in case of an uprising many
of those that now form the laboring class
would be glad of the opportunity that
would license them to loot and rob This
would virtually leave no one to work in
the sugar cane fields
With these two objections overcome.
Cuba would be an ideal place for in
Vestors in both sugar and tobacco. In
addition to considerable hard wood grow
ing on the land. there is a strong under
growth. The mahogany, ebony and other
valuable hard wood trees do not grow
in groves, but are scattered. On this ac-
count il is difficult to get any one 10
clear the land for the wood on il we
have secured 1000 acres, which we shall
purchase if the title is clear of course
we shall need several times that amount
Tor our purposes. Cuba will have civil
government some day. 1t is our inten
ton TO secure the land now and hold If
until that time when we will establish
our plant there"
Mr.. Browning said further that all of
those interested would meet soon. after
which they would make trip TO the
island and complete their plans for the
purchase OF land and the construction of
their Dlant u

BURGLARS ARE BUSY.
They Break Into Three Places, but
Get Little.

Burglars during Sunday night entered
three establishments. As far as can be
learned they secured but little. Evidently
the men who committed the breaks were
professionals. They first entered the
blacksmith shop of Anderson & Larson
on Twenty-fOurth street. From this
place they secured tools. The% grocery
store of Conner a. Nicholas on Twenty
fifth street was next entered and the
thieves secured $50 that had been left
in the cash register. They left 81 worth
of postage stamps lying on one of the
counters. showing that it was only mon
ey that they were after. The next break
was made in the dry goods house of
Marshall McCready on Twenty-fifth
street. AT this place entrance was gained
by the same means. Here the
rear windows are five or six feet from
the ground. 1t appears that the bur-
glars tried to open the rear door from
the inside. breaking off the large brass
handle. This was evidently desired in
case a hasty exist was necessary Fail
ing to get the door open, they appar-
emily left the place as they had come,
without trying to secure any booty The
police worked on the cases yesterday but
secured no clue to the robbers.

RIVER is UP AGAIN.
Property in City and County Is
Threatened,

Ogden river is again on a rampage and
threatens to do considerable damage to
property both in the city and county.
People living in the river bottoms have
for the third time this year been forced
from their homes by the water which
yesterday attained a height equal to that
of the previous floods In many places
however, temporary entertainments have
been put in and these in a measure keep
the water within bounds Yesterday calls
for aid We're sent to the police station
and some of the people were rescued from
their homes.
The residents of Ogden valley were cut
off from this city. The culvert at the
foot of GOOdale canyon was swept away
by the high waters and traffic between
the valley and Ogden has been shut off
In MarriOtts, where the people were not
troubled with the high water during g.
previous floods many acres of farm
land are under water and much damage
is likely to result. The railroad company
has men at work along the stream east
of the Oregon Short Line bridge to keep
the water in the river and prevent its
washing out portion of the Hartman
lines. This protection to the railroad
property is likewise protection to the
property holders residing in that section
of the flooded district

the Hartman Lines.

The Hartman lines are still having
their troubles and there are no immedi-
ate prospects that they will be free from
them for some time to come Added to
the grief which they have had on their
hands for some time past comes the
news that there was cloud burst west
of Winnemucca, New, some time Sun
day night and the line was threatened
for a time. This matter was cleared up
with nothing more serious than a few
hours delay to the trains. Following this
came the report yesterday that another
landslide occurred some time yesterday
morning at Verdi. Cal, just over the Cal
ifornia line on the Sacramento division.
Just how serious the slide was could MOI
be ascertained here, but the overland linn
tied east bound, was reported ten hours
late as a result: The Union Pacific line
is still blocked by the landslide near the
Aspen tunnel. The local officials an

NEED FENCE BY RIVER.
Drowning of Miss Phillips REEVES
the Operation.

The death by drowning of Mis- Roso
Nj Phillips. which occurred IN Ogden
canyon Sunday. has revived the agitation
IN favor of erecting a fence along the
river at all points where it runs close
TO the road. This matter was first sug-
gested by the Ogden Civic Improvement
LEAGUE, but so far the county commits
sloners have declined to take definite ae-
ton in the matter. It is claimed that
with the ever increasing travel in the
IN. canyon the oanger makes il imperative
that something be done at once. The
many automobiles that run through the
canyon, especially on Sundays and holj-
DAYS add 70 the danger, especially at
points where the road is narrow and the
river runs close to the highway 1t s
sad that movement looking toward the
establishing of the fence will be started
at once in the hope of having il con-
structed before the heavy travel to the
canyon commences this summer.
