Is L Caused BY Eartnquakef

Another phenomenon has appear
ed in good old "Jeens City" FRS,
it was q well that miraculously sp-
peared on a farm bordering the old
stage road. Probably that was
caused by the San Francisco up
heaval. Scientists. so far as we
know. have not attempted an e9cpla-
nation.
Now the wells In James City. or
at least some. according to report.
have been strangely affected recent
ly. The water in some of the deep
est wells. which has never been
known to vary. dropped from four
to seven feet all within a day or two
at widely separated points.
The public well at Toano dropped
seven feet. the one at Lightfoot four
or five feet. and others are noticed
to have become shallow. notably the
one at Croaker.
This is probably due to the ex-
ceptionally dry VI ther. but as it
was noticed about HE time Of the
great Italian earthquake some would
connect the phenomenon with that
catastrophe.
The land OF the white potato is
fast becoming famous.

WEATHER MAN RECALLS
WINTER At VALLEY FORGE

While Salt Lake citizens celebrated the
birth of George Washington yesterday the
weather mans thoughts apparently were
most of the time dwelling upon the exper-
fences of the Father of His Country dur
ing that awful winter at Valley Forge.
So far as the elements were within the
control of the weather man he evidently
tried to set the stage realistically, much
to the chagrin and disappointment of the
women who had planned to don light gar
ments for street wear on the holiday occa-
sion.
Yesterday was chilly day and discom-
fort was augmented by a bracing, stiff.
iCy-tempeTatured wind that blew cbllls
up and down back bones, dust in the eyes
of pedestrians and unanchOTed hats pro-
miscuously about. On account of the cold
ness of the weather Washingtons birth
day was celebrated in this city largely in
doors PrOmenaders were not out in any
large numbers. The forecast for today IS
generally fair. Following is the meteor
illogical report from the local office of the
weather bureau for the twenty-four hours
ending at o'clock last evening;
Temperature at p. IA, 80 degrees; max
imum temperature, 90 degrees; minimum

ture, q degrees. which is degrees below

Within the next two weeks the Burling-
ton route will want from 1000 to 1900 Ia
borers to work on the construction of the
line to connect the Burlington in Wyoming
with the Colorado & Southern, recently
purchased by James J. Hill. That Is the
notification just sent out by the enginere-

with the Colorado x Southern viii be
made at Guernsey, to which, points sur

OF the Colorado & Southern.
The construction of this line of track
is one of the big pieces Of railroad work

influence it will have on traffic arrange

the part of James J. Hill in assembling
