WRECK OF PAssENoER TRAIN.

The wreck Of passenger train No. 8
Sc miles east Of Ogden. on the Union
Pacific, at an early hour this morning
is the most disastrous accident on
that road occurring since the installa-
tion OF the block signal service
The wreck was caused by a land
slide brought down from the steep
mountain side by the storms Of the
last few days. Had the slide been
heavy enough to break the block Sig
nal connections between the rails, the
danger light at Castle Rock would have
warned the engineer and the lives OF
two faithful Union Pacific employees
and a vast amount Of property would
have been saved
The railroad company displayed
commendable alertness and concern
over the fate of those on the wrecked
train by sending out from Ogden with
out delay, and before details had been
received, a special train carrying doc
tors and nurses.
The one danger which the block Sig
nails cannot record is slide. except
when the track is swept away. and 1t
Is for some genius TO supply this de-
ficiency.

1.-THE WINTERS TALE"
Presented to Large and AppreeIatlve
Audience at the Grand.

Charles Hanford and capable
company gave an excellent interpre-
tation OF Shakespeares great pastoral
comedy, THE Winters Tale" at the
Grand last evening. The audience was
large and appreciative and the players
were accorded frequent applause for
their good work.
There has been dearth of the more
serious plays here this season, and the
creditable presentation Of a Shake.
spearian drama came as a most well
come relief from the Jingle and lace Of
musical comedy.
Mr.. Hanford and his talented wifo
were both seen to excellent advantage
In their dual roles.
AS Leontes, the tyrant ruler Of Sicil-
la, Mr.. Hanford was satisfying In ev-
cry detail. His fine voice and unchal-
lenged art still mark him one OF the
most popular stars who come our way.
1t Is seldom that we hear Mr.. Hanford
sing, and shame as we'll. for he has
an excellent baritone which he can
use effectively when occasion de-
mands.
AS Autolycus, the light-fingered vag.
abond and erstwhile impersonator OF
kings, Mr.. Hanford was also we'll re-.
ceived. His Interpretation of this droll
character was unique and clever, and
reminded one forcibly of Louis James
as Caliban In "The Tempest"
Miss Drofnah (Mrs. Hanford), did
excellent work In the role of Her
mione. Queen to Leontes, but was even
more pleasing as Perdita, the charm
ing sweetheart Of Florizel, the Prince
of Bohemia Miss Drofnah's statue
scene In the last act was we'll done
and was heartily applauded,
John NJ Kline. as Polixenes. king of
Bohemia, was good. His stage pres
ence was pleasing and his remarkably
fine voice and clear enunciation were
especially appreciable. Mr.. Kline has
been with the Hanfords for a number
of seasons and will be remembered
Caesar last season. He also alternat-
cd few seasons ago with Mr.. Hanford
In tho role Of Mark Anthony.
Miss Gertrude Fowlers inteIpreta-
tion OF the part of Paulina was COM
mendable, especially In her denuncia-
tion scenes In the second and third
acts. Miss Fowler's last engagement
was with Joseph Conyers in his cello
brated production Of Our New Min
lister"
Eugene Ordway was seen both az
the elderly Antogonus and Florizel.
the young prince and lover Of Perdita
Mr.. Ordway's makeup was much too
heavy IN the first mentioned role and
detracted from his performance. AS
the youthful lover, however, he was
very good and redeemed himself with
credit
Andrew H. Tombes, as the clown.

siderable talent as the child prince of

A Simple Prescription For the
Hair.

In tho good old days our mothers
used to tell us to use garden sage
for dandruff and falling hair A sim.
pie infusion WAS made of the common
garden sage and applied to the roots
OF the hair. This old time remedy is
still used In many sections of tho coun-
try to this day. 1t has also bcen dis
covered that the Indians OF the north
west used to make a brew (or tea)
of the wild sage (sage brush) and ap-
ply 1t for all scalp affections. White
people also used this sage brush Tea
with good results. A careful study
has been made of the different kinIs
OF sage and 1t has been found that
the Wild sage or sage brush contains
much more Of this certain curative
property than does the tame sage.
The reason for this is apparent The
Wild sage growing as 1t does In soil
rich IN sulphur and volcanic ash nat
orally contains much more medicinal
matter.
One OF the main objections to the
use OF these crude preparations. es.
pecially so OF the Wild sage, was tile
disagroeable odor of the brush. This

In the opening exercises
Always spectacular in its move
ments, the Colorado river has risen to
the occasion, as 1t were. and two-foot
flood OF the river Will carry a volume
OF water over the dam as natures
christening of the giant irrigation pro
ject. 1t WAS necessary to keep back
the pressing water this morning with
bags of sand to prevent the flood in
tcrfering with the official exercises,
and the government engineers sent
three thousand bags, which were piled
nlong the concrete surface. Thousands
of persons passed across today inspect

fore tomorrow Will be covered by the

prominent visitors and western bar

The Laguna reclamation project is
more of a diversion than a dam IL
raises the river but ten feet, the dam
lying flat in tho river channel like an
artificial reef. Its greatest height from
foundation TO crest is but l9 feet. Tho
width is 244 feet with length or a.
TOO feet. II is built of concrete walls
filled between with loose rock. One
OF the remarkable features is the dl-
version and sluicing gates built OF
concrete and steel on roller bearings,
On the California side OF the dam,
there are three 33-foot gates, and on
the Arizona side, one of similar size.
1t Will serve to irrigate about 10000
acres of land, all of which will be re-
claimed from the arid section. Set
tiers in acquiring the water rights
will reimburse the federal government
for its expenditures in building the
dam Which represents total outlay OF
about s3,0O0.O00. 1t was begun in
1905.

WHY THE CUTOFF SHOULD,
NOT BE BUILT.

The cutoff from the mouth OF We
Der canyon on the Union Pacific TO
connect with the Oregon Short Line
near Pennington, continues to excite
much comment
This expensive piece OF work is said
to be part Of the plans OF double.
tracking the Union Pacific through
Weber canyon, At Devils Gate. three
miles east Of Uintah, there Is scarcely
space enough on the north side OF
the Weber river to permit OF the con-
struction Of a second track without
endangering traffic during the period
of construction. This has caused the
Oregon Short Line people to get busy
with surveying gangs to prove that the
only way out for the Union Pacific
is 10 construct a 4,000-foot tunnel on
the south side OF the river, and then,
when the tunnel is completed, con-
tinue the work with big cuts through
the sand ridge to a connection with
the Oregon Short Line half way to
Salt Lake.
Why not tunnel on the north side OF
the river. If tunneling is necessary,
either to the north or south?
The Oregon Short Line engineers
have yet to prove the feasibility OF
making a deep cut or tunnel through
the sand ridge, where quicksands are
known TO exist
The comparatively small cut, which
admitted the Oregon Short Line to
Ogden through the sand ridge to the
south, was year OF more In course
OF excavation and for a time there was
discouraging talk OF the possibilities
of success. With that experience be.
fore them, the Oregon Short Line peo-
pie should be slow in passing an opin-
ion on the feasibility OF the Weber
canyon cutoff.
Our opinion Is the higher officers OF
the Hartman system. when they OBJ
tain all the data-the estimated cost
OF construction, the unsolved prob,
lens OF the sand ridge, etc.-and
measure that against the prospective
