One of the happiest men The
Herald man has seen in long
time is Mr.. T. L. Lawson who is
the happy father of a bouncing
baby girl. Mr.. Lawson says when
the little one arrived it was inn
possible for him to contain him
self and he went out of doors and
gave vent to his feelings by such
loud and vigorous shouting that
his neighbors were alarmed lest a
party of Comanche warriors had
broken loose and were about to
destroy them.
The Coast Line officials have
granted the request of the Dillon
people not to discontinue the fast

to the effect that the trains would
be discontinued at this place the
Chamber of Commerce and a
number of citizens wrote the rail-
road and asked for the trains to
be continued. This gives Dillon
an excellent train service and the
public feels grateful to the Coast

A communication was read from

investigation he had found that the
low pressure was due to the valve in
the 12 inch main having been

that provision be made for watching

occurance of such trouble might not

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Con-
gressmen who visited the White
House today reported that President
Taft was not satisfied with the pros
poets OF the supposed agreement of
the senate and house tariff conferees
as announced last night. y,
Mr. Taft Is said to have expressed
himself in emphatic terms regarding
lumber and to have declared he
would insist that the rate on it
should not go over $1.25.
1t was reported last night that
a rate of $3.50 on lumber had been
agreed upon, but members of the
house conferees committee and other
representatives hurried to the White
House today to say that with the
Presidents help they would stand
for lower figure.
The President also made his posi-
tion clear on the glove schedule. On
the better class of gloves the senate
cut the house rates materially. The
President insists today, according to
his callers. that the senate rate shall
be accepted.

PROMINENT MINING MAN IS
BROUGHT TO FAST Ely HOS
PITAL ON SPECIAL TRAIN
COLLAPSE AFTER OPERATION.

j. Ferron, one of the oldest and
best known mining men of the state,
is lying at the Steptoe hospital in
East Ely in precarious condition as
the result of complication of bowel
and kidney troubles with which he
was seized at Cherry Creek on Tues
day. Early this morning he was re-
ported resting easily but his chances
lfor recovery very doubtful.
Mr.. Ferron has for some time past
held the position of managing direc-
tor with the Glasgow & Western Min
ing company, owning the Star mine
at Cherry Greek and other important
properties at Golconda and Copper
Hills in this state. He came to
Cherry Creek from his headquarters
in Salt Lake the latter part of last
week for the purpose of inspecting
the new mill of the company. Tues
day he was taken sick and summoned

sick man in the fast time of two and
half hours. He was at once taken
to the Steptoe hospital, where Drs.
Il. L. r. Wallace and Gleason, in
response to kilograms from DR.. Owen
were awaiting his arrival. The opera

performed Mr. Ferron passed
through it excellently and got the
relief required, his condition thereaf-
ter being such as to allay alarm.
However change soon occurred, the
patient suffering collapse. In the
evening his condition was such that
his family was wired in Salt Lake.
Mr.. Ferron has been operating in
Nevada for more than half century
and is widely known among mining
men He was an associate of Fan
and Mackey on the Comstock and
has been identified with many i'm
portant enterprises. He is 81 years
of age, although he does not look
over 60 and up to the present i'll
ness has carried his work along with
the mental and physical yigor of a
much younger man. Should his
condition permit, he will be taken to
his home in Salt Lake tomorrow

Wriehts With Passenger
Breaks Previous Best
For Both Time and
Distance at Fort Myer
SPEED AVERAGE OF 10 MILES IN
FLIGHT OF OVER AN HOUR
CHEERING LED BY PRESIDENT
TAFT AT CONCLUSION OF TEST.

WASHINGTON. July 2S. The
worlds aeroplane record for two
men, as to both time and distance,
was broken this evening in a beauti-
full flight of one hour, twelve minutes
and forty seconds-upwards of fifty
miles and at speed averaging about
forty miles an hourly Orville
Wright at Fort Meyer, with Lieut..
Frank P. Lahm of the army signal
corps as q passenger. The former
record was made last year by his
brother Wilbur, joint inventor with
him of the machine In which both
achievements were performed nj
Leman's, France, with Prof Pain
love of the French Institute as It
passenger. That flight was one hour,
nine minutes and thirty-one seconds.
Wilbur was an eager spectator OF to-
days flight.
The cheering which heralded the
setting of a new mark In the sGon-
| quest of the air was led by President
| Taft in person, who had sat an in
| tensely interested spectator through
out the fight. This success was all
| important to the Wrights in that ii
completed the first of two crucial
tests of their machine imposed upon
them by the United States-the so
called endurance test which re-
quired them to remain one hour con
, ,tinuously in the air with one pas
senger. Orville did nearly thirteen
minutes better than that and could
have kept on indefinitely-1three
hours and half, the limit imposed
by the gasoline capacity of the sup
ply tank.
The other test, that for speed, will
be completed tomorrow, weather
permitting. when Urvllle is to take
Lieutenant Benjamin Folois of the
signal corps on d cross country flight
to Alexandra. Va, and return. s
Orville could have made the flight
this evening but 1t was almost dark
when at last he alighted, after a
flight which would have carried him
almost twice across the English chan
mel !.

BODY FOUND
IN. DESERT
MURDER Is BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN DONE - INDENTIFICA-
z TION OF REMAINS HAS NOT
YET BEEN MADE.

TONOPAH July 2S-Yesterday the
sheriff's office received word to the
effect that the body of an unknown
man had been found on the desert
in this county near the California
line. Sheriff Owens teIegraphed to
deputy at Rhyolite to proceed to
the scene at once.
1t is impossible at this time to
learn whether or not the man was
the victim OF foul play or whether
he was claimed by the torrid rays
of the sun. There is much specula-
tion as to whether or not he was
killed by an Indian now in the
custody OF the Khyolite officials. The
sherfff's office win conduct rigid
investigation. How long the mans
body has lain on the desert in an
other item that is not even approxi-
mated. 1t is said that there are no
signs indicating the work of vultures
or the like, from which It would ap-
pear that the mans life was claimed
but recently.
