attributed to this criticism as none
of 1t reached him personally
Later.-Almost with tears in their
eyes the Utah committee begged Taft
not to change his plan of appearing
in the Mormon tabernacle at Salt
Lake Sunday. After a. conference Taft
acceded to their wishes.
The committee told Taft that
ten thousand school children
had set their little hearts on seeing
him. They represented to the presi-

Lake residents in the big temple and
then go to other churches on the
same morning. Taft finally consent

conference because the league would
not be a party to bargaining for of

pressed it, Notwithstanding the In

some minor friction among the fu-
sionists, the republican leaders say
that the alliance in opposition to Tam
many is still formidable.
The fusion convention adjourned

the republicans selected but in view
of Mr.. Woodruff's announcement its
support is relied upon.
In the platform the convention
merclessly criticized "Tammany mis-
rule" and promised broad reforms, a

When the big dam is completed the
power house will be located below

Beautiful Farm Home Destroyed.


One OF these farms was one OF the
most beautiful spots along the en-
tire river. The water will be twenty
feet deep over this place and at pres
ent one of the camps Of the Burns &
Jordan contracting company as well
as the camp of the engineer for the
Deschutes railroad company are To-
Gated here. The improvements on
the farm were of the best There
was a good house. barns buildings,
bors. A hedge of poplar trees sur
rounded the entire home which was
veritable garden spot. This is al
being destroyed and run over by the
construction company's crew. Blasts
from the railroad grade cause mons
ter powders to come crashing down
the hillside, wrecking the fences and
outbuildings and causing a general
appearance OF desolatlon and ruin. II
is but another instance in which the
result of years Of thrift and labor by
some hardy pioneer in the establish
ment OF a home has to be surrendered
in order to satisfy the demand Of the
many at the expense Of the few. II
Is the same old story of the onward
march of civilization and the inces-
SAINT demand for greater transporta-
ton facilities and the search for
cheaper power generation.
