A Pittsburg telegram of last Sat
urday says that at the next meeting
of the Executive Board of the Ma
tional Board of Steam Navigation, ar
Engagements will be made to reframe
the measure which it sent to Con-
gress seven years ago providing that
all gasoline boats which carry pasen-
gers for hire should be licensed the
same as steam vessel and should
undergo regular inspection The bill
in no way interfered with the opera
ton of gasoline boats for pleasure.
Capt. Walter D. Holmes came out
of Kanawha last Friday with French S

The Sensation went on South, while
Capt. Holmes stopped off at his

Kanawha to headwaters. He has
made many successful trips as pilot
of these and other crafts, and is re-

The Chief Engineer on the Lee
Line packet Fred Harold was hauled
up before the Inspectors for carry
ing unlawful steam but although, it
is said, there was clear case
against the Engineer a conviction
was impossible. Such has been the
case many times before. Snap shots
have been shown where engineers at
Pittsburg weighted and clamped
down safety valves and the Inspec-
tors failed then to make convic-
ton. Unlawful steam is carried
right along on many of the steam
boats, seldom though on a packet,
and conviction seems impossible.
The law on this very important
matter is a perfect farce and should
either be enforced or repealed. :

Iehi. Jan. S.-There was hesd-end col

Fortunately neither train was travelling
very fast. which gave the crews of both
engines time TO jump 80 that no one was
hurt The accident happened on the curve
Just south Of town, and appears to have
been caused by the crew Of the south
bound train disobeying orders. They had
been ordered to sidetrack on the switch
lust north Of the Iehi station fer the
northbound train to pass, and it appears
that they became tired Of waiting and
pulled out. intending 10 make the next sid

when they collidsd with the heavily loaded
northbouud, which was also moving at q

IMPRESSIVE OBSEQU|ES
OF FRANK H. CLARK

Tho following vivid account Of the OBJ
seduies Of Frank H. Clark, formerly of
Salt Lake. is from the Los Angeles
Times:
Under the ever half-mssted flag of the
country he served during the civil war,
the remains of Frank H Clark, past de-
psrtment commander Of the Utah c. A
r, who died recently IN this city, were
laid at rest in Rosedals cemetery yes
terday afternoon.

though Mr.. Clark had lived in this city
but few months, and was little known
70 the members of the local G. A.
camps. Gray-besrded veterans, headed by
an advance guard of the Sons Of Vet
Grams, escorted the cesket TO the open
grave, and stood bsreheaded while the
brazen throat of the bUgle hlsred out
taps" the soldiers last salute.
Following a short sermon at the par
Tors Of the Samson undertaking estab-
lishmeut on Flower street. at which about
fifty members OF the order assembled,
waiting hearse. The remaining veterans
entered special car and went to Rose
dale cemetery.
Here the burial party was met by the
guard Of honor Of the Sons of Veterans,
aud the funeral cortege moved slowly and
impressively to the little plot under the
half-masted banner and the ancient can
non.
party divided left and right, to line up
on both sides Of the open grave, while
the draped coffin was carried between
their ranks.
on one side Of the grave the uniformed
soldiers stood at attention with their ri
fles grounded and with the veterans, with
hats DOTTED and heads bowed, listened
to the short address Of Commander
Charles e. Chase of Stanton post.
After a short prayer a quartette of the
Daughters of Veterans Of the Jessie Ben
ton Fremont tent sang Nearer, My God,
TO Thee" which as it progressed was
gradually taken up by the soldiers. With
the completion Of the hymn three OF the
veterans who had known their comrade
in his last illness placed upon the cas-
ket q piece of ivy and several white
roses. Then followed a short euiogy. Ia
which attention was called to the rapid
ly thinning ranks of The veterans who
kept intact the unity Of the nation. An
other hymn, and then silence, which was
broken by the sharp commands of the
officer Of the squad Of eight men.
From parade rest they stood to atten-
ton. Another command and they wheeled,
passing to the right of the grave. The
casket in the meantime had been lowered.
The firing squad Of veterans halted. The
command ready was given. The rifles
raised and vOlleyed the soldiers fare
well.
Only the occasional clang Of the far
off street car broke the Quie; which fol-
lowed. Then the weird minor notes Of
taps by Comrade o. T. Thomas. who
for nearly twenty years has blown the
same call for many OF his best friends
