favoring some growth Of the feeling that
early poor starts In crops and trade have
largely made up for. There is about the
usual midsummer quiet In future trade

rate excursions begin next month, ship

collections have improved at various mar

Dun's Report.
r. c. Dun & Co.'S review viii say:
specifications at the steel mills are
large, producers being still unable 20
make deliveries as promptly as desired,
but there IS a seasonable decrease IN the
volume of new business which relieves
the pressure somewhat.
An undercurrent Of increased interest
is felt in the primary markets for cotton
goods, and there is more evidence that
prices Will be maintained, while further
advances are contemplated in some lines.
The dominant influences are the strength
OF the raw material, and the fact that
finished products were never before sald

PRICES OPEN HIGHER
Rise Insistent Despite Buy
ing Orders Given.
DECLINE THEN FOLLOWS
Depression Continues on Wall Street
Exchange Until About Noon, When
Railway Weakest During Early
HOurs-Erie Also shows Weakness.

New York, July 26.-While the market
at the opening did not come up 10 the
higher range of prices sent over from
London. quotations were as a rule frac-
tionaliy above last nights close, despite a
fair volume OF selling orders, the origin OK
which could not easily be located.
After the initial transactions. a declin-
ing tendency set in. the traders hammer
ing prices to the accompaniment Of a
rumor that two members of the Standard
0i! party had been stricken with a serious
Illness and that it was uncertain whether
they would recover. In the case Of one Of
the parties referred TO- the story was
wholly devoid of truth, while in the other
case the report was based on the very,
slight circumstance that the party IN
question had suffered somewhat from the
heat and had gone for short cruise on
his yacht to eseape the dlscomforts of the
city, while yet remaining so near at hand
that he could be easily reached If business
required his attention.
Decline Lasts 10 Noon.
The declining ter -ency was more or less
in evidence up 70 about noon. but by that
time ii had become evident that the bull,
Of the sales represented efforts to force
out stock ard establish n lower price
level. Besides the operations for a de
cline, there was certain amount Of real
iz.ng on speculative commitments. but
stock from this source was readily alb
sorbed, and IN the early afternoon signs
Of renewed firmness began to be shown
in AtchisOn, Southern Pacific. and other
prominent issues, which, toward the end
Of the session, became general, so that
az the close there was hardly a single
stock that could be called weak, and ad-
vances on the day were nearly as numer-
Gus as declines.
The weakest feature in the early hours
was Southern Railway preferred, in
which there appeared to be moderate
liquidation, attributed 70 fear of the con-
sequences of possible enforcement of the
new rate reductions Ike those prescribed
for the passenger service by The new law
Of the STATE Of North Carolina. and which
the officers Of the road hold would be

Erie Also Weak
The Erie issues We're another specially
weak feature, but the selling of these
appeared to be the result Of efforts 70

a genuine attempt TO market stock The
ease with which offerings OF stock all
through the list We're taken during the
day, and the substantial strength shown
toward the close, had the effect Of arous-
ing better sentiment in the street than
had been manifested at any previous time

RAILROADS HAVE QUARREL
Short Line and Northwestern
Wrangling Over Pole Line
Near Hot Springs,

The erection of a line of poles from
the Utah Hot Springs to a point one
half mile north, where connection was
made with the Brigham City transmits
sion line, has brought about a quarrel
between the Hot Springs company and
the Oregon Short Line that will likely
be carried to the courts for settlement.
During the past week the pole line has
been leveled to the ground two differ
ent times by the railroad people, who
claim that the line was erected on their
right of way. The Hot Springs man
agement deny this and contend that the
action of the Short Line was merely for
the purpose of blocking the extension
of the Ogden & Northwestern railway
to Brigham City. The last time that the
poles were taken down was at o'clock
yesterday morning. A wire carrying H.,
600 volts of electricity had been strung
on the poles. but the railroad workmen
carefully avoided coming in contact with
ii. The Short Line claims 100 feet on
either side of the track, while Manager
Shealy holds that there is only 80 feet
on either side, or 100 feet in, all in the
railroads right of way.

WOULD ARREST RAILROAD
County Attorney Wants Union Pa
ciic, Southern Pacific and Ore
gon Short Line Punched.

County Attorney n. J. Harris COM
menced an action yesterday whereby he
seeks to invoke the laws of the state
against the Hartman lines, which he
charges with illegally obstructing the
crossing through the railroad yards at
Twenty-fourth street. He filed a COM
plant in the municipal court yesterday
on behalf of the state, asking for the
arrest of the Southern Pacific, the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line, and demanding that they be dealt
with according to law. f. w. StratfOrd
is the complaining witness.
This action on the part of the county
attorney is taken by many as the first
step toward forcing the railroad people
to construct the Twenty-fourth street
viaduct, which has been talked of and
promised for years. In a statement yes
terday Mr. Harris said that the law was
being so flagrantly violated and the COM
plants becoming so numerous that he
had made up his mind it would have
to be stopped, and that he proposed to
see that it was stopped.
This crossing has been the source of
much complaint and ordinances have
been adopted by the city directed against
the evil. but these seem to have had
no effect

NEW ERA FOR
AMERICAN FALLS
HustIing Idaho Town to Have a
Formal Celebration on
September 26.
NOTABLE CIVIC AWAKENING
HAS RESULTED IN MANY SUBJ
sTANTIAL IMPROVEMENTS.

Thursday, Sept. 26, American Falls
will celebrate a formal opening of its
new era, and on the same day the
beautiful Hotel Remington will open
its doors to the public. Special rail
road rates have been secured for the
opening, and appropriate exercises
have been arranged, which will be
participated in by the governor of Ida
no and other prominent men
About a year ago American Falls
awoke to the fact that with its SPLEEN
did location and its 60 000-hOrse power,
contributed by the great American
falls, it had unusual possibilities.
Since then great improvements have
taken place. A waterworks system was
installed, drawing its supply from
springs bubbling out of the ground at
the edge of town; electric lights were
placed along the streets, new streets
We're graded and old ones repaired, ee-
ment sidewalks have been construct
ed and 5000 shade trees planted along
streets and avenues.
While these Improvements we're in
progress business men took advantage
of the opportunities offered and many
substantial business houses have been
erected, among which is the handsome
cement block home of the First Ma
tional bank. the Fall Creek Sheep COM
pany's $4,000 department store, the
oliver & McKown block, the Hager
block and many others.
Fine New Hotel.
The American Falls Press recently
installed a $1,000 plant and is printing
an eight-page paper in its own new
brick home.
The new Hotel Remington was con-
structed at a cost of s30,000 and is
modern in every respect; every room
is equipped with a telephone, running
water, electric lights, steam heat and
other cOnveniences, and was named in
honor Of Idaho's booster, Major Fred
erick Remington Reed. New houses
are springing up on every side, and a
number of manufacturing enterprises
will soon be established, among which
is an electric smelter by the owners of
the great water power.
A three-story flour mill was built
this spring, constructed of stone
quarried at the edge of town. and is
turning out 100 barrels of flour daily.
The Power City has doubled it's popu-
latiOn since Jan. /, and at its present
rate of progress VIII make a most i'm
pOrtant dot upon the map of Idaho
within a few years, as its favorable
location, the immense surrounding
farming and grazing country and it's
great water power contribute POSSIBLE
tiles possessed by few sections of the
country.
