Farnsworth, secretary. and a. G. Giauque
OF the state board of land commissioners

they went to make an inspection Of the
work on the Piute reservoir project. The
commissioners believe that by their trip
they saved a considerable amount Of
money to the state, as they decided
unanimously TO turn down some claims
for damages by people along the line of
the new canal by floods. The board has
provided chutes to carry off the surplus
water. but the property owners insist that
Il is the duty Of the state to open the
canal already built and take care Of the
water. This, it was agreed by the mem
bers after exaEdina ton. could not be done
and they further decided that the state
could in no sense be held liable.
The commissioners report that work on
the big project is proceeding very rapidly.
The canal is now about finished and the
contractors have the work we'll in hand.
There is about forty miles of this canal
Already about $4,000 has been expended

WARRANT IS SERVED
ON DORA B. IOPHAh

Further complications arose yester-
day for Dora B. Topham, known as
Belle London. promoter Of the stoekade
project, when complaint was filed
against her. and she was served with a
summons TO appear on June 3 in the
court Of F. NJ. Bishop, justice Of the
peace. on the charge Of being agent Of
property used for immoral purposes.
The summons was served on her as
agent for the Citizens Investment COM
pany, while, in addition, a warrant was
also served to insure her personal ap-
pearsnce.
Apparently she had anticipated such
action and was prepared for the emer-
gency, for upon arrival of Deputy
Smith of the sherif's office, she phoned
to the office of the American Surety
company and gave Instructions to pre-
pare her bonds in the sum of $500. Pre-
liminary arrangements for this, it ap-
peared, had already been taken, for in
less than half hour the deputy was on
his way to Justice Bishops Office with
the document duly signed, while the
woman had been hardly disturbed from
her table in the restaurant where he
had found her. The bond IS returnable
June 3
The complaint was issued from the
office of Job p. Lyon, county attorney.
against Mrs. Dora 3. Topham, as pres
ident, general manager, treasurer and
director Of the Citizens Investment
company. The complaint was sworn
out by Lon J. Haddock, who was one
of party of four who visited the So
called stockade on Saturday evening.
The complaint is the first to be issued
under the law passed at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature.

FIRE CAPTAIN EXPLAINS.
Answers Exceptions to Report on
Test Hitch Recently Made.

Editor Herald:-In your issue of May
ID We note exceptions taken to the men
ton of our test hitch recently made The
exception taken naturally came from an
outside source. viz. Kansas CITY thev
having q team and crew of men who.
we understand. had no regular fire duty
10 perform. thus making il easy for them
to Keep uD with the times. The report
OF our hitch was not an accurate one
with all due respect to the gentleman
who wrote it,. The time made on the
first hitch, with men scattered TO all parts
of the house, the turning in of an alarm
nine seconds with two stop watches to re-
cord the same. The second floor hitch
of eight and one-half seconds claimed
by Kansas City is possible but hardly
probable with men in beds unless condi-
tons were favorable to them.
Our Missouri friends viii please remem-
Der that the men who hitch mount the
apparatus before time is taken. thus
hitch to be made If men 90 not mount
apparatus, such being the case. we be-
heve, at Kansas City. Our horses are
twelve and one-half feet from the collars.
we having one and one-half feet the best
Of it in that respect, according to the
statement made.
Though we think the mounting Of the
apparatus does away with the time inter
vening, we are willing to make a test,
subject to approval of officials of both
cities conditions equal. Our hitch of
five seconds clearing the house is worthy
of consideration, irrespective of what
Kansas City or other cities NAV have
done From an eastern standpoint we are
supposed to be outclassed in every re-
spect. but we respectfully submit our rec
ord for inspection. hoping we may have
the satisfaction Of demonstrating our eff
ficiency. thus promoting the interests Of
the citizens and gratifying our desires to
excel. Very respectfully,

SPARROWS' EGGS
ARE COMING IN
County Auditor Pays BountieS
on 5000 Brought in on
Saturday.

The season for sparTows' eggs is now
n full blast, and yesterday business
was brisk at tne oflce Of the county
auditor. The eggs have been coming
ever since the first % the month IN
struggling fashion. but during Satur-
day the auditor was forced to pay boun-
ties on SEQ dozen, or 5000 eggs. Some
OF these were I'm good-sized lots, one
boy having seventy-hve and another
sixty seven dozen.
Auditor Frank Heginbotham is be-
coming worried about this heavy run so
early IN the season, md is considering
a proposition to cut off the bounties.
The county IL not con- PEELED TO pay for
the eggs. but the Law states that it
may do so. Last year the total amount
paid out was $500. bat al TIE rate the
season opened it will be 81 200 during
the year.
According TO the auditor, it seems. of
little use 10 pay these bOunties when
ToOele, Davis and Weber counties do
not do so. Utah county IS the only one
OF the counties adjoining Salt Lake that
pays g bounty. so that there is little
prospect Of determination Of the feath
cred pests without cooperation. Be-
sides. the auditor has a shTewd sUs-
picion that he has been paying for eggs
from Davis county at times.
The gathering of sparrow eggs has
proved a romunerative occupation for
many 2 small Salt Lake boy, and q
good many Dig lots were brought in
during last season. One boy with one
lot Of 153 dozen holds the record. but
another on the same day was a good
second with 14S dozen.
Already this season sl25 has been
F.afn mt Tor
feet that it has been a wet season and
is stiu early
Only half of the amount of cents a
dozen is paid by the county, the state
putting up the other Pr cents, but even
at that the total makes a respecta bic
figure, to say nothing of the extra de-
mands on the time OF the auditor.

Tuesday evening. has been identified.
He is Tom Chevalas, a Greek, living at

time to reveal his identity, asserting he
wished no reward for his brave act.
Even now he has no wish to be COM
pensated by the parents of the rescued
lad. But friends have decided to make
application for a Carnegie hero medal
With considerable reluctance, Cheva-
las was induced yesterday TO tell the
story of the rescue TO The Herald. He
related it through an interpreter,
George Williams, known as the Black
Greek. incidentally. Williams is a ne
gro, though he has a perfect command
of the Greek tongue.
Il was working with the gang of la
bOrers at the crossing, where the car
tracks are being raised he said. I
was first attracted by seeing a hat
shoot by, and then 1 heard screams for
help.
As soon as / caught sight of the lad
/ ran down TO the creek and jumped in.
The current was so swift that / was
taken down at first and nearly drowned.
1t was all I could DO to keep my head
above water.

courage, and I made UD my mind to
save that youngster.

that hampered me somewhat. But /
kept on my feet as best I could, and
struggled to the side of the drowning
lad. When I reached him he was all
but gone The other Greeks pulled US
out. as I was almost completely ex-
hausted. The boss let me go home to
change my wet clothes"

CONDUCTOR IS INJURED
IN Street CAR COLLISION
W. L. Eassare Is Seriously Hurt as
the Result Of a Peculiar
Accident.

W. L. Eassare, a conductor. had a
narrow escape from death last night in
a rear-end street car collision that oc-
cured in front of the State street or
phanage
Eassare was in charge of car No. 324,
and when the car was brought to almost
a full stop he attempted to switch the
trolley. He was standing on the rear
platform, looking upward, and did not
observe car No 406 was backing to-
ward his car. The. conductor of No. 406
apparently did not know of the position
Of the car behind him, and backed the
full length of the rail.
Eassare was thrown through the door
of the vestibule, his leg broken and his
head cut and bruised. The glass win
dOws in the car were smashed and the
vestibule of his car was badly wrecked.
Q. c. Anderson, superintendent of the
county infirmary, located a short dis
tance away, offered to take the injured
man to the institution, believing he
needed immediate medical attention.
Other street car employees refused to
permit his removal, and thus Occasioned
a delay of about half an hour before
the arrival of the L. d. S. ambulance,
which took him to that hospital.
