STORY Of
DISASTER
ii Was Also aStOry With Little
Foundation
RAGING COLORADO RIVER
1t Frightened Some Person
by It's Efforts to Test the
Strength of the Laguna
Dam and the Yuma
Bridge.

An alarming report got into circu-
lation somehow yesterday afternoon,
To the effect that the Southern Pa
cific railroad bridge at Yuma, and
the Laguna dam above Yuma, had
been carried away by the flood in
the Colorado. Though scarceley be-
lieveable the story was given color
by the knowledge that the river was
at the highest point ever known, or
was the day before, and sometimes
as great damage is done by "A re-
ceding flood as by a rising one. Still
more color was given the story by
the news that Wells Fargo & Co.
had diverted its traffic or at least a
portion of it, between Tucson and
Los Angeles, via Phoenix But in
the course Of 4 couple Of hours the
real situation was learned and the
story was pronounced a cana-d. Both
structures are intact and traffic over
the Southern Pacific continues unim-
peded at last report.
As near as could lie learned the
story originated in the following way.
Some one in Yuma ventured the
opinion that one of the pies Of the
the structure would soon become
dangerously weak. In some way
this story got to Wells Fargo head
quarters and the order was given to
detour express matter via Phoenix.
for the reason that the company op-
crates on the Santa Fe as well as
the Southern Pacific, no great ex-
pense would be added by the changed
routing and the company would be
taking no chances of delay. Doubt
less someone else ventured the opin-
ion that if the bridge washed away
the dam would have TO go. Anyhow
by the time the story reached Phoe
nix it had become an affirmative
statement
The story did not arrive through
railroad sources for the Southern
Pacific officials here were as much
surprised as anybody and General
Agent Cater instantly began working
the wires between Phoenix and Tue
son. Tucson seemed as much sur
prised as Phoenix and took the mat
ter up with the railroad men in
Yuma. The answer came back very
quickly that the story was without
foundation. There had been no in
reference with train service and the
big Thursday excursion left Phoenix
last night as usual.
When the story first reached Phoe
nix it was communicated to En-
gineer Hill of the reclamation ser
vice at once. He had heard nothing
from the Yuma engineers and dis
credited it from the beginning. New
ertheless it was a little matter that
naturally gave him some concern and
he Immediately wired to Yuma. There
had been no reply when Mr.. Hill was
hast seen last evening but it is not
to be presumed that if the Laguna

dam had gone out or had been in
jured materially, the government en-
gineers at Yuma would attempt to
conceal the truth from Mr.. Hill very
long, no matter how much it might
worry him.

the river was higher the day before
than ever known before. A late re-
port from Yuma last night was that
the river was stationary, indicating
that the crest of the flood was pass

II is a fact that, in fly time, scores
of restaurants and fruit stores are the

insects. and little or no effort is made
to keep them away from the food which
presently is to enter the stomachs OF
human beings. It were well indeed If
the housewives took account of the
places on their marketing list that
guard against flies and those which do
not The loss Of patronage by the mar
ket which permits the presence of flies
would soon be keenly felt, and it would
be a sure way Of bringing about a
better order of things.
The unfortunate who is doomed to
the questionable joys of restaurant life

WILL RESTORE
OINGLEY RATE
Senate Not Disposed to Allow
Hides to Go Upon Free List
as Provided by House.

Washington. June 1.-The amend
ment Of the Senate committee on finance
taking hides from the free list and re-
storing the Dingley law rate of IS per
cent ad vaiOrem was before the senate
all day, and IL probably viii not be dis
posed of before late tomorrow.
Senator Warren of Wyoming and
Senator Carter of Montana supported
the provision and i'm vigorous language
attacked the attitude Of the free hide
advocates, while Senator Page of Yer
mont defended the action of the house
IN the placing hides on the free list.
Mr.. Warren declared that the senate
had been insuited by the charge that
the Dingley provision had been inserted
as the result of a midnight conference.
and he declared that free raw material
would be the death knell of the prOtec-
tive policy if it should be adopted. while
Mr.. Carter asserted that IT the farmers
were TO be compelled to sell their prod
ucts i'm the open market, they would de-
mand the right to buy manufactured ar
tcles in the same kind of market.
In support of free hides, Mr., Page
contended that the adoption of such a
policy would not injure the farmers
while al the same time it would be of
vast benefit to the leather manufactur-
ers. He said the beef trust garnered
all the profits on hides from whatever
source.

at is only a matter Of q short time be
fore Salt Lake must get into line in the
campaign that is being made against the
house fly throughout the land. said City
Health Commissioner NJ. r. Stewart yes
terday, on his return from Atlantic City,
where he attended the national conven-
ton Of health commissioners. 1t has
been proved beyond question that insects
carry disease germs-bed bugs, mOsqui-
toes and flies. OF course. the flies are
directly 10 be charged with COmmunicat-
ing disease to hundreds Of persons. They
carry the germ of typhoid, tuberculosis,
dysentery. cholera and all Of the germs
that cause so-called summer complaints.
You see how readily Washington,
Philadelphia. New York and other large
cities are taking up this matter Every
doctor is working for the determination
of the fly pest. and much progress has
already been made. In Washington, for
example, manure is not permitted to aC-
Cumulate or TO stand for more than three
DAYS and a half. You know. of course,
that flies hatch in ten days and that ma
nure piles are the chief breeding places.
BY removing the manure every three
days, therefore, the eggs do not have
time to hatch, and consequently the
number of flies is very greatly dimin-
ished.
There are also regulations with refer
ence to garbage boxes. 1t is required that
screens be used in houses and that food
products be screened.
What is true of Washington and the

Lake,
No: nothing further than that some
thing will be done At the next meeting
of the board Of health. which will be
the first Monday in July, I shall lay be-
fore the board the result Of my ObserVa-
tons. and I have no doubt that many of
the methods in use In the east will be
adopted here"
DR. Stewart is an ardent believer in
the efficacy of vaccination for typhoid.
Experiments showed said DR.. Stewart,
that of a given number of men who
were not vaccinated the proportion Of ty-
phOid cases was SIS per cent, whereas
only 12l per cent developed the disease
where there had been vaccination
The vaccine used to prevent typhoid is
a serum, and is administered as an anti
toxin.
DIR. Stewart says that the United States
government is prepared to furnish, free
of charge. at the Geographic request Of
any municipal health board the Pasteur
remedies. Heretofore these serums have
been practically beyond the reach of poor
people, both on account of their prohibit
tive cost and the difficulty of obtaining
them.

the first Murray band was organized. It
was here that youths were taught the
rudlments of music, and many cOngre-
gated there, eager to converse over the
themes of their art. Today this little
home of musicians stands in the same old
spot but enshrOuded in a different at
mosphere than in the early days. Erect

youngest dealer IN assorted fruits in the
town. He came to Murray without a

He started to accumulate money and
shortly afterwards purchased a fruit

for about a year. when he branched out
and bought a more up-tO-date stand on

HOW TO GROW FAT
i Lazy Stomach the Cause of Thin
ness, Nine Times in Ten.

If you are thin or lean. have scrawny
rms and neck, you can't grow fat IN
ess your food properly digests.
People take on flesh in proportion to.
he nutritious matter which the organs

blood
Just as long as the nutritious matter
asses along without being absorbed,
ust so long will you remain thin.
Perhaps your stomach, bowels and
liver need a tonic. If your digestion is
lOt perfect, Mi-o-na tablets will put it
ight at once.
Mona will cure indigestion and
very conceivable ailment of the stom-
.Ch promptly. It cures by building and
Oning up and not by encouraging a

md health destroying habits. 1t prompt

IF gas, heaviness after eating.
F. e. SchTamm sells Mi-o-na for so

-ure indigestion, sea and car sickness,
vomiting of pregnancy and all stomach
diseases and distress, or money back.
Mi-o7na is sold by leading druggists.
