Veteran of Rails
HauIs Taft's
Train
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
OGDEN, Utah, Sept. GA vet
eran of the rails an done of the
most remarkable railroad engin-
GERS of the country is Charlie
PAUL who was at the throttle of
the engine which hauled Presi-
dent Taft's special train from Salt
Lake City to Pocatelo, Idaho, en-
route to Butter, where it arrived
today.
PAUL. has been an engineer for
35 years, and never experienced
a wreck. During all that time he
has passed unscathed through all
sorts of dangers. Holdups by
road agents, washouts by floods
and melting snow, landslides and
other dangers of the railroad man
came near him, but in all crises
he brought his passengers to
safety.
PAUL was at the throttle when
President Mckinley and President
Roosevelt crossed the Utah-Idaho
line on their western trips.
The only injury sustained by the
veteran befell him last summer.
PAUL. applied for a leave of alb
sence and on the first day of his
vacation he fell from chicken
coop he was building and broke
one of his arms.

Views a Volcano;
Gets Religion
Right Away

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
HONOLULU. Sept. 27.--Fol-
lowing the departure of the con-
gressional party on the Mongolia,
an examination of the register at
the volcano house on Kilauea
showed that only one of the rep
resentatives was moved to record
his thoughts, after gazing down
into the fires of the volcano, as
they seethed and dubbed fiend-
ishly In the crater's pit. This Is
what the record shows: 1.-THE
scene of the volcano in action
warns us to flee from the wrath
to come and by the help and
grace of God, shall do so. For
getting the past and looking into
the future, take a new inspira-
ton for better and higher ideals.
"E. S. CHANDLER, JR."
Member of congress, First dis
trict, Mississippi"
Following the lines is nota-
ton in another handwriting,
which reads:
"Zeke, you must have changed
your brand"

Mayor Gusts Man
Who Founded the
Public Marekt

Market Master Martenis today
fell under the weight OF Mayor
Linck's official ak, and he is out
of a job.
w. G. Rowland, the poultry
man, has been named as his sue
cessor, and he will hereafter
have charge of the public market
on ID street.
This market was started by
Martenis. He worked for months
with the city council to get an
ordinance through allowing him
to establish the market. He got
the truck men and ranchers in
terested, and they agreed to
come in with their produce. When
he finally got the thing launched,
he naturally was looked upon as
the man for marketmaster, and he
was appointed.
He has developed the market
and made il a big success, has
paid his own salary from the re-
ceipts, has paid the cost of erect
ing the sheds, for wiring the

FOR EASY
MONEY

1t now develops that the Union
Pacific wants the vacation of East
M and N streets so as to sell 1t
to the I. r. G p. company.
At least that Is true of East N
street. The T. r.. q P. has to
get off Puyallup avenue to get up
on Its Puyallup avenue bridge,
and it will have to buy a private
right of way from the U. p. This
private right of way will lead 1t
over N street at an elevation OF
several feet.
The U. p. asked for the vaca-
ton, and then it will sell a strip
of the property 1t now owns with
part of the vacated land to the
street railway.
The committee on vacations OF
the council this morning agreed
to consider 1t favorably. and Mo-
vember 8 was set as a day for
hearing the matter In public. The
portion of M street asked for was
stricken cut.
