". A. CLARK ON
INSPECTION TOUR
Leaves for East This Morning
After Visiting Some of His
Western Properties.
COMMENTS ON THE FLOODS
MILES OF MILWAUKEE GRADE
WASHED OUT IN MONTANA.
COMMENTS ON THE FLOODS

Senator W A. Clark spent the day in
the city yesterday en- route to New York
after tour of inspection of his western
properties. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Clark and Mr.. and Mrs. j. II. Anderson.
Immediately on his arrival the senator
took special train for Stockton and went
through the Ophir Hill mine. Returning
at clock. he met a number Of Salt
Lakers who had business engagements
with him. He leaves for the east this
morning over the Union Pacific,
The senator said the recent floods in
Montana were the worst ever known
there and had done damage TO the extent
of millions of dollars. The railroads were
the chief sufferers and communication
was only just beginning to be restored.
The Milwaukee road. which is construct
ing its line to the coast, had miles of
its grade washed away entirely and would
have TO relocate a good deal of its line
because of the floods. which had not only
washed away the grading, but the cOun-
try along the line. so that reconstruction
on the same survey is almost impossible.
Fortunately for him. the senator said,
his big power dam at MissOula was saved,
although al one time the water was six
teen feet above the crest of the dam
and it was regarded as certain that il
would go out. If IL had the light and
power supply of MissOula would have
been cut off and the heavy investment in
the enterprise practically wiped out.
After trip TO New York, Senator Clark
plans to go to the Denver convention and
then take his usual summer trip abroad
for recreation.

strongly sided with the president, and
declared that the right thing to do
was the expedient thing TO do.
when the cabinet adjourned there
was no doubt that President Cleveland
would take the goat by the horns. He
did so, and his tariff message of 1887
stands today as the most famous of
American public documents dealing
with the tariff.

Of ideas and force OF its dramatic inten-

herited prejudice and accidental crime is
unfolded in Mr.. Thomas most skillful
manner, with numerous exciting climaxes,
while a background Of love and romance
extendirg over three generations is pro-
vided. The chief originality and charm
Of the play however, lies in its fascinating
theories OF the power Of the mind to read
mind and to influence mind by mere
thought. Thomas is a past grand master
OF the art of telling a foot light story, and
the Imaginative phases Of "The Witching
Hour are so happily and POLITICALLY in
