motormans Prompt Action Saved the
Ogden Rapid Transit From a
Serious Derailment.

Peterson, the plow. In passing Twenty
sixth street. suddenly took a notion
to inspect the roadbed with Its nose
The result was few convulsive
bumps, a furry of gravel, a spllut-
ering of ties, and final effort TO
stand on its head
The motorman succeeded In shut
ting off the power and tightening the
brakes before a serious accident &C.
Cured, not, however, before the heavy
windlass for raising and lowering the
plow had been torn from Its faste',-
ings and had come crashing TO the
floor in dangerous proximity TO the
drivers toes. The nose of tho plo%
was deeply imbedded between tue
tracks, throwing the back OF the plow
upward and raising the entire end OF
the car.
No damage was done. and with the
help of Washington avenue car. the
plow was drawn back to the rails and
proceeded to the car barns under It's
own power.

PIain-Livlng Emperor.

Although the majority of royal per
sonages are noted for their lavish din
ner tables, there is at least one reign
ing monarch whose meals are of the
simplest. This monarch is the en-
peror of China. His whole life is lived
in obedience to the most stringent
etiquette and his food is all regulated
for him by statute, So strict are the
laws governing the imperial household
that when he desires a new dish he
has to pass a special decree before he
can have it. and the court physicians
keep a strict watch over his appetite.
Should he show special liking for
any particular Wand, the chances are
that they will persuade him not to
take it, under the prctense that 1t may
prove injurious TO his health.

Much Wanted Man.

William F. Fielding. who was re-
leased from custody In the district
court Thursday morning, only to be
rearrested moment later by the sher-
iff on charge Of forgery alleged to
have been committed at Seattle. is
still in serious trouble and will not

has been taken down to the capital
city to answer charge of felony In
failing TO support or provide for his
wife and minor child who arc said to
be In destitute condition in Salt

cape through technicalities, or the
withdrawal Of the complaint by his
wife, Sheriff Wilsoneaccompanied the

On EQUALITY with Mon.

Women postal clerks in Norway
have been promised equal pay with
the men cleIAs as one of the first re-
suits of their obtaining equal political
rights. In the seventeenth century.
when Englishwomen were still recog-
nized as possessing an economic and
political status side by side with Eng
lishmen, there was written an interest
ing entry In the church wardens ac-
counts of st. Martin sim the Fields,
proving that one Elizabeth Bartlett
was intrusted with the casting Of the
second bell, and that all the women
employed thus were paid at the same
rate as men for the same work. An
other instance is to be found In the
records Of the Fleet prison, of which
the FIRST female warden, appointed In
1917 on the death Of her husband Rob-
bert. received the same salary as the
said Robert had been accustomed to
during his life" There was no talk
then of confining the woman's sphere
to work that was paid badly.

Salt Lake division as In fairly good

rains of the past ten days, trains are
moving between ogden and Sparks

well-ballasted track over the entire

able condition, but Superintendent
Manson reluctantly admitted that If
rain and snow conditions continued
any considerable length Of time, trou-
bic is apprehended. About six inches
OF heavy snow fell between Carlin and
Ogden early this morning and. II rain
and warm weather melt this rapidly,
floods along the road are anticipated.

OF their arrival is uncertain even af-

east of Applegate, and officials are un-
able even to predict when they may
get through.
All telegraph wires are down be-
tween Reno and San Francisco and

few messages have been handled be-
