American Fork, Oct. 29.-Mrs. Ellen j.
Hudson, wife of j. W. Hudson of the
Third ward of this city, died early this
morning, after being confined to her bed
for the past SIX weeks with typhoid fe-
yer. She had practically gotten over the
fever but it had left her in such a weak
ened condition that she was unable to
survive. She has not been very strong
for the past few years, having been trou-
bordering on the first stages Of consump-
ton. and it was feared when she con-
tracted the fever that 1T would be hard
for her to pull through, but she had
passed through the dangerous stage of
the fever all right and was thought to
be getting on fine and on the road TO re-
covery. She was taken with a severe
coughing spell about midnight, which left
o'clock this morning. Mrs. Hudson was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Jacklin of this city and was born here
about thirty years ago. She was the
mother Of three small children, the
youngest being a year and a half old
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed yet, but the funeral will prob

George A. Storrs, manager of the con-
tracing firm of Baxter, Straw & StorrS,
was in from their workings on the West
ern Pacific in California and spent two
or three days here and at Provo. Just
before coming here he made trip to
their construction work on the o. 5. l.,
on the extension from ST. Anthony TO the
line of the Yellowstone park. They have
had fifty miles of that work, which they
have been working on for the past two
years Their work at that place is COM
pleted now. Mr.. Storrs went up there to
arrange for the moving of their outfit.
Part of it will go to California and part
they will ship TO Provo until spring. He
reports work on the Western Pacific
of men which has bothered them a great
deal in the past is about eliminated, and
that they have but very little trouble in
getting all the men they need now. They
have fifty miles of very heavy work,
mostly rock. along the Feather river,
near Beckwith, and it is slow work ex-
cavating the heavy rock cuts and tunnels
along that part of the line, and it will be
over year before they will have it COM
pleted.
The work of rebuilding the Chapman
flour mills. which burned here on the 4th
of this month, has begun, and it is ex-
pected that by Christmas they will be
running in full blast again Part of the
OLD walls will be used again, as two of
the outside walls were not damaged to
any great extent. The burning of both
of American Forks flour mills within
two months makes it very inconvenient
for the people of this city, as they have
to go to the Lehi mills for their job work
and mill 'stuffs.
Quarterly conference of the Alpine
stake will be held here tomorrow and
Sunday. 1t is expected that President Jo-
seph F. Smith, together with number
of the twelve, will be present
The sheep men of this place are begin
ming TO move their herds from the sum-
mer range, in the east mountains, to the
winter range, on the west desert. Five
or six large herds have already passed
through here this week. The sheep are
all in excellent condition, showing that
they have had an exceptionally good
range during the past summer.
Reports from Cedar valley say that the
hundreds of acres of wheat that have been
sown there this fall is up and doing fine
and that the indications are that some
large crops of dry land grain will be
harvested there next season. There is
about 1000 acres of wheat planted there
now and it is said that it is ali up and
doing well.
