Grande railroad track after dark last
night with his head and arm severed from
his body. Mr.. Stewart was seen leaving
Fairview at about dusk and was driving

gotten frightened and he was thrown from
the wagon. falling on the track. His team
was caught by some of his neighbors
who Immediately set out in search for
him. When he was found his body was
so completely mangled that they only
knew him by the clothes he wore.

lonely and thought he would again try a
shot, when ii accidentally slipped and
went into his foot. He was taken to Eph-

FOR BETTER WATER SYSTEM

night adopted a resolution calling for an
election TO be held Sept; IA to vote SIC, 500
ry work will be commenced at once on
a water system which will ultimately
cost about $4,000 The plan so far
evolved proposes purchasing five-sixths
interest in the SchoOlhouse spring, eight
miles north of the city. from Alpine, for
$500. Alpine to use this money and the
other sixth of the water In installing a
water system of her own. The water viii
be conveyed to a settling tank north of
town in a vitrified pipe and will be dis
tributed throughout the city in wooden
pipes The limit of the borrowing ca
pacity of the city is s26.50o. and it is pro-
posed TO raise the balance of the money
from loans on Lehis interests in the
Utah County Light & Power company
and other properties.
There will be much opposition to the
bonding for the reason that about half OF
the citizens are at present supplied Win

that which Will come from the Granite

HORSE GOES TO THEATRE AND WAITS
TN PATIENCE FOR SHOW TO BEGIN

the main entrance, was calmly waiting
for the show to begin.
Orpheum attaches are willing to
wager any amount that there is such
thing as horse sense" and in order
TO strengthen the misbelief of scoffers,
they have the footprints of the animal
to show in the entrance of the theatre.
But there are also other animals that
have sense. In addition to horse sense,
there is also monkey sense
This was forcibly illustrated Tuesday
evening while the performance of the
Hathaway trained monkeys and bah
boons was going on at the Orpheum.
Owing to the severe storm then rag
ing, the electric lights throughout the
house were in bad condition. They
would go on for a moment, then. with
out warning, would sink off into the
unknown.
This happened quite frequently dur
ing the monkey and baboon act. The
only light in the house at one time,
when the electric lights were off for
some moments, was a mammoth bulls
eye on the stage. But it was noted by
the audience that not at any time did
the monkeys or balloons show the
least perturbation. On the contrary, no
matter what trick they were perform
ing, when the light went off, with the
light on again, they went right on
through without falter or quaver.
At one time when the house was in
total darkness the monkeys remained
just as they were, completely under
the control of their trainer, and did not
make a move until commanded.
If that doesn't indicate far more in
telligence than some human beings
have nothing ever will

LAND DRAWING
IN SEPTEMBER
Forty-fOur Thousand Acres to
Be Thrown Open in Fertile
Pahvant Valley.

Public drawing of the 1900 acres of
land in the Pahvant valley will take place
on September 2S, under the direction of
the state land board and the Oasis Land
& Irrigation company.
Judging from the hundreds of inquiries
concerning the land from home seekers,
there will be an immense crowd at the
opening. Some of the people who wish
farms in the Pahvant valley will come
from far, as Cincinnati. There will
also be parties from Denver and Omaha.
In Salt Lake and in other places in Utah
there are a great many people who are
anxious to get farms in the new district
modate the crowds at the land drawing
will be run over the Salt Lake route.
These have been arranged for by the
Oasis Land Il Irrigation company
The drawing will be made in the man
ner adopted at Twin Falls, Ida. Each IN
dividual may take 100 acres of the land,
or sections of forty. sixty or eighty acres
But before the drawing each person will
be required to state how much land he
will take and make a deposit of % cents
on each acre of land. This will be one
half of the price of the land as the state
land board has fixed the price at 30 cents
an acre. The land board will also fix
the charge which the Oasis company Is
to make for water. The company has
built costly irrigation system for the
reclamation of the Pahvant valley lands
President Chambers of the Oasis company
says that he expects to see much OF the
land under cultivation next year, as some
of the settlers will Immediately after the
drawing commence preparations Tor the
putting in of crops.

CREEK COAL PROPERTY
Continued from Page I

the water rights in the three canyons
of the coal district, with flow of
$50, 900 gallons of water daily. This
water will be used to supply the town
of Miller Creek and in the operating of
the coke ovens, at which considerable
water will be needed.
AS soon as the railroad is completed,
the present force of men at Miller
Creek will be increased to $50.
The railroad construction is under
the direction of j. F. Williamson, chief
engineer The development work at
the mines is in charge of Jones &
Jacobs.
General Manager Sweet says that the
dip in the Miller Creek mines Is from
/ to per cent, and that electrical pow
er will be used In operating the cars in
the mines. He says that the natural
formation of the district Is such that
costly tunnels would be necessary to
reach the coal from any point except
that at which the present work of de-
velopment is under way, and that this
fact makes II improbable that other
companies will attempt to invade the
Miller Creek field.

Who is the horse on?

Who is the horse on?
This is the query that is vexing all
the attaches of the Orpheum theatre
since yesterday.
That the bill on at the Orpheum this
week is one of the best ever presented
at the popular State street theatre is
conceded by all who have witnessed it.
But equine intelligence seems to be up
to the standard of that of man, judg-
ing by what happened yesterday morn
ing.
Just before noon some of the en-
ployeS in the front part of the house
noticed suspicious looking footracks
leading to the main entrance. Treasur-
err Howard was called on for an expert
opinion, as he is supposed to be an au-
thority on feet. But he could give no
Information. Owing to the many kinds
of animals that have been on the stage,
Stage Manager Joseph Goss, also con-
sidered an authority, was asked for in
formation. After sage investigation
and due elaboration Mr.. -Goss con-
fessed his inability to throw any light
on the subject Neither could Mr.. Hal
liday, the operator of the moving pic
lures and calciums.
But as il was noticed that the pc
culiar footsteps led TO the main en-
trance at the end of the lobby, re-
ccnnoitering party was sent out. thanked
by numerous loungers about the place.
Entering the front door, a strange
sight met the gaze of the searchers.
A horse, name and antecedents I'M
known, having heard of the great show
on at the Orpheum this week, had
walked calmly in and. lying down at

|ST, MARYS CATHEDRAL ORGAN
TESTED. is DECLARED PERFECT
Expert Musicians Unstnted in Their Praise of Magnificent
Construction Bishop Seaman Is Highly EIated

ST. Mary's great organ was tested yes
terday. Musicians who listened to the
melody which filled the cathedral were
delighted with the instrument They de-
clared that the organ was one of the most
completely equipped for church music IN
the world.
b. I. Edwards. the expert sent here by
the Kimball company CT Chicago, COM
pleted the work of putting up the organ
a short time before the hour set for the
first recital, at which Bishop Laurence
Soanlan was TO pass judgment upon the
instrument.
The test of the organ was made by Pro
fessor j. ]. Mcclellan, organist at the tab
ernacle. Beneath his touch the organ re
sponded like a living thing. the notes OF
the "Vox Humana'' rising above the flood
of melody like the sound of human
voice. When the last note died away,
there was no doubt as to what Bishop
Scanlans decision would be. The organ
was a success.
There were only a few persons In the
cathedral when the organ was tested.
Miss Nora Gleason, the present organist
at St Mary's, invited some of the promi-
nent musicians of the city and few per-
sonal friends Bishop Seaman was there.
