DAMS BLOW OUT
Miles of High Water Northwest of the
City Doing Great Damage

The water has been gradually rising
northwest of the city until at the pres
ent time there are from six inches to
five feet covering most Of the territory
In the neighborhood Of the Black
Sloughs and from there north to The
Great Salt Lake, a distance of seven
miles. Several barns and chicken coops
are floating about in the water, which
have been loosened from their bearings
by the high tide, and many of the peo
pie in that vincinity have been forced
to move out Of their homes. Street
Supervisor Raleigh went out there
Thursday with several men and blew
out some of the big dams which had
been erected by the duck clubs for the
purpose of backing up the water for
their shooting grounds Raleigh used
dynamite to do the work, and while the
taking out of these dams will not entire
~ relieve the situation, it will do away
with a considerable area of the present
high water, which will flow to the
mouth of the river and into the lake
Raleigh had to travel the greater part
of the distance in the water, and sew
eral times he expressed the wish that
he had boat He finally managed
to get through to where the dams were
and cut loose some of the water.

OGDEN, March "A large number
of the members Of the Order of Railway

of the trainmen, which opens there on

The purpose of these conventions is
to leave 1T to q vote of the members
of the various orders interested. as to
whether they shall accept the proposal
Of the General Managers convention in
Chicago. made early in this year. At
that time the trainmen made certain
demands for new and increased rates
and for shorter hours, which demands
were refused by the general managers.
This latter body made a counter propo-
sitlon, and IL is to consider and decide
on the counter proposition that the
meeting in Denver is called.
A Salt Lake evening paper of
Wednesday printed au entirely errone
Gus statement when 1T said that the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
F'lremen of Ogden would attend the CON
ventlon. II was positively given out
today. not only by officials Of the roads
centering In Ogden. but by members Of
these orders, that enginemen on the
Hartman lines west of the Mississippi
have no grievances to adjust, and are
not asking for shorter hours or moro
wages. At the convention with the
general managers in Chicago they got
what they asked for. and the new ra
tings for cngincmen went into effect on
February ! of this year. On the Rio

enginrmen. As one Rio Grande engi-
neer said today: "The company has ri
ways paid the highest wages to engi-
peers of any Western road, and We
have no grievances 10 he settled.
IL seems. therefore, that no engine
men are interested in the Denver con
