UNSUSPECTING FRESHMEN LED INTO
UNDERGROUND TRAP AT UNIVERSITY

Ignorant of the oft-told legends of all
night sessions of h discipline commit
tee to deal with m~iscreants who had
entered the underground passageways,
the misguided freshmen walked into
their trap. While they were ~innocently
meandering through the forbidden pas
sage searching for the bait that lured
them there, the world was moving just
the same overhead. 1t came time to go
home, the doors were locked, the steam
turned off and the exits to the tunnel
closed.
One lone freshman escaped to tell the
tale of his belated comrades. He was
last seen beseeching the nightwatch-
man to unlock the entrances and assist
in the rescue of his companions. At a
late hour no trace of them had been
found. and there were a number of
anxious students around the campus
awaiting the news of their victims, and
fearing they had walked into a water
main or fallen into a boiler.
A conference with the discipline COM
mittee is slated for the upper classmen
as Don as they can be detected, and
the unfesisnate freshmen will probably
receive a questioning if they are ever
found.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-08

Imprisonment in a dark, dingy tun-
mel was the fate that befell a number
of freshmen at the university yester-
day, who were misguided by some mis-
chievous upper classmen. The freshies
had been assigned by one of their pro-
fessors to epOrt to the class on the
siesmograph, the instrument stationed
at the university TO measure and de-
tect earthquakes. With this end in
view, they asked some upper classmen
10 direct them to the instrument, and
the older students ave them a card
of directions that made it impossible
for the unsusp ecting freshies to arrive
at any place except in the middle of
one of the tunnels connecting two of
the buildings and carrying the steam
pipes. They were told that the tunnel
led into a big chamber fifty feet under
ground, where the instrument was To-
Gated. The freshmen readily accepted
the directions and went or their way.
1t happens. however. that these tun-
nels were once popular retreats for ad-
venturous students, and long before
the days of the present students the
faculty discovered this and mad strin-
gent rules against being in the tunnels.

Figures for 1908 Estimated.

1t should be said, by way of explanation,
that the figures given for the fiscal year
1903 are merely estimates and are based
on the actual receipts from public land
sales il the various states. In 1906 and
again in 1907 the fund received
SO per cent of the land receipts, the other
s per cent going TO state agricultural col
leges. and TO defray certain expenses of
the local land offices, such as fees and
commissions of registers and receivers.
The figures above quoted are computed
on the 80 per cent basis. and may be
lightly excessive or not sufficiently nd
eral. However. the same percentage was
applied to each of the states. so that the
relative contributions are as shown, and
final computation will show the figures
approximately as given.
Under the reclamation law q majority of
the money contributed by any state to
the reclamation fund shall be expended in
building irrigation works within that
state. The interior department has stipu-
lated that 81 per cent shall thus be set
apart in what is known as the restricted
fund, and the remaining 40 per cent goes
mot the general fund. to be expended by
the secretary where it is considered most
essential. Thus it works that some states
have, up to the present time. received
more benefit than their land receipts jus
tify, while others have been cut off. In
the end, however, each state will receive
it's just share of the money until all the
available water shall have been utilized.
Rapidly Increasing.
By way of comparison, it is interest
ing to note that more money was turned
into the reclamation fund during the fiscal
year 1908 Cthe year ending June 30, 19OS,)
than i'm any previous year since the law
was enacted. The nearest approach to the
late record was in 1903. when ii was be-
lieved thai public land receipts had
reached their maximum figure, and would
thereafter gradually decline. In 1903 the
reclamation service received So, 713, e06. This
past year exceeded what was regarded as
high water mark by nearly one million
dollars. The next highest year to 1893
was 1907, when the contribution amounted
to 81. gS4. 800. The smallest contribution was
that of 1901. a little in excess of three mil
lions. It is evident from these figures
that the land resources OF the United
States are far from exhausted, particular
" when they yield increasing Incomes,
now exceeding ten million dollars, the
highest figure in the history of the gen
eral land office.
AS a matter of fact. the contributions to
the reclamation fund in 1907 and 1903 are
far ahead of estimates made by the rec
lamation service. and there is between
four and five million dollars more on hand
than was counted on when the existing
plan of work was laid out. However. the
increased cost of labor and materials,
and the fact that some projects are rum
ming ahead of estimates, will cut into this
excess. so that there will be no money
available for beginning new projects, not
yet approved.

North Dakota Leads.

Up to the past year, Oregon has been
the leading contributor to the reclamation
fund. with North Dakota second. HI
land fraud prosecutions in Oregon, how
ever, have had the effect of retarding
land sales in that state. n in conse-
quence receipts from such sales have fall
en- behind the receipts of North Dakota,
thus enabling thai state to forge to the
front for the first time. North Dakota
has been experiencing a land boom. which
made it possible for the state to climb
into first place. Washington, this year,
as heretofore, occupies third place on the
list of contributors.

MILLION MARK
National Reclamation Fund Ex-
ceeding Expectations of
Those Interested.
MUCH OF 1T ALREADY SPENT
NEW PROJECTS UNLIKELY IN
THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
MUCH OF 1T ALREADY SPENT
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE national rec
lamation fund has passed the s50.000,00
mark. Nine and one half millions of dol
lars were added TO the fund during the
past fiscal year, by far the largest con-
tribution in any one year since the pas
sage of the national reclamation act, and
the total fund, including the contribu-
tons received during the past year, now
amounts to $50, TAG, asa.
Not all this amount is now available for
use, for many millions have already been
expended in the construction of works in
all the states contributing to the fund,
and other millions have been contracted
for, so that all the money heretofore avail
for the completion of projects now under
way. 1t is not expected that any new
projects will be authorized in the imme-
diate future.

Putnam Business Men's Association.

The meeting of the Association Tues day has already aroused deep Inter est, and If IL were repeated no hail. We think, would hold the eager listeners provided Tax Commissioner Gorbin was the speaker. He has the inteiiee- tual faculties that fits him for the ifn- portant office he holds. He is master of the duties he has in charge. No matter what question he is asked on The subject of taxation, he answers II SO that the inquirer is enlightened on the subject. He stirred up determi- nation to have reform In our proper " valuation with lower tax rate which promises not to abate until better than the present method is fully ac- cempiished.
 Me give the remarks of a few Of the speakers to show The spirit that anima led the meeting. The discussion of the subject should be continued until all the voters are convinced that what The Tax Commissioner has urged upon them, k the right thing lo do and to bc done as carly ns possible. And then NC ~ill only be taking up the move. inent that K going on III all the impor. tant towns of the State.
 We do mol agree with some ot those who found fault with our tax system. ouf tax payers are upright citizens and will be glad te see any equalization oi property valuation that will be just and fair to every one. The present methods compel them To seem to be wrong do- efs.
 We are unable to say more this week on account of the lengthy report we give of the meeting for the enlighten- ment of all our renders. We could not give the address complete, and have been obliged Io omit much matter that ought to have appeared this week, to furnish space for the report which we deemed must have place, and believe all, even those will feel disappointed in the omission of articles they expected 10 see this week. will not lind fault.

Rev. L. T. LindhoIm's New Parish.

In n letter recently received from Rev. L.T. Lindholm, in regard to ba- siness matters, he gives us information aoout his new charge since leaving his pleasant home on Woodstock Hill to go to the great metropolis to do larger work in his fnsoritc field. Thus giving it publicity, il will reach most of his old friends.
 He says, "The call to this city church came to me quite unex peetedlv. While living tn Woodstock had become so attached to II that I had almost made mp my mind to remain there perma- nently. Then came the call to this great metropolis. It caused me much anxiety how to come to decision. felt like refusing, especially when my friends with whom had so long asso- entrented me to remain. Hut the great opportunities for larger work that WAS thus offered me became an influence too strong to resist.
 My church here offers grand oppor. tunities for usefulness. IL conducts four Sunday schools and carries on preaching services in other destitute sections of the city IL supports mis. sionary la India; has a fine choir and orchestra; and Young Peoples socie- ty full ot missionary zeal. The church edifice Is located near the New York College; IL seats about live hundred people. A pastor for such a church needs the strength of Samp- ,n, the faith of an Eliajah, the enthu- slasm and zeal of Jehu, and to he as unyielding in his principles as a na- niel."
 | But the one, and the only drawback to hts otherwise satisfactory surround. ings, is the city home. In describing the fiat tn which himself and family

Day kimball Hospital.

At the meeting of the Trustees, held on Wednesday, nth inst., the fresi- dent announced the promise by Mrs. George l.. Bradley, of eomfrct, to give xa, ,u0O towards the construction ot the new wing or extension from the pres ent building.
 This increase of the plant has long been in the minds Of the Managers and friends of the Hospital, as it has been proved by experience that the present rooms available to private patients aie loo few in number, and sre not in size, situation, Ae., what some would desire, Better, more permanent and more home-like accommodations for the nurses has also long been in contem- plation.
 The meeting could not fairly and al once decide what further enlargement of hospital service such a structure as is now in mind would provide for; but il was felt that State aid would Dc rc. auired and could reasonably be asked for. to supplement the above donation,
 Accordingly, two special committees were appointed by the chair--one to deal with the Legislative question al proper time; the other. to obtain al once plans and specifications, invite bids and supervise work when con tract shall have been authorized by ths Board.
 Suitable resolutions of thanks to Mrs Bradley were adopted for the Record and the Secretary was authorized {, send them 10 her.

A Complete Surprise.

MT. J. F.. Randall, Electrician al the Grosvenordale mills, received shock to his nervous system-on Monday evening, Nov. 7, it being his 23d birth day. As his custom on his birthdays, he hied himself home to be with Fa- ther and Mother Converse, where he could have quiet rest, and thus es- cape those who might try to 'grease his nose" or at least help him in some way to remember his birthday.
 Helarrived home about 6:45, and soon he and Miss Maude were entertaining E the family with instrumental music, thinking he had outwitted the crowd, when suddenly about twenty of his friends from Grosyenofdale and else where, surrounded him i'll the spacious parlors, ere he had time to lay down the .bow - It was complete sur- prise, but he wilhstood the shock, even when they presented him with q Signet Ring.
 Light refreshments were served te the party, when they retired, feeling they had enjoyed pleasant evening and-for once had beaten .Joe' at his own game.
