DEATH LIST
TOTALS 16O
UP TO DATE
WHO HAVE BEEN
FIGHTING FIRES HAVE NO
RECORD KEPT OF THEM AND
FOR THIS REASON ACTUAL
NUMBER OF DEAD WILL NEVER
BE KNOWN.

Spokane, Wash Aug. 26.-Of-
ficial records of the forest service do
not include scores of men who have
been fighting the forest fires in
Washington, Idaho and Montana.
This has been proven by the arrival
of several parties of fire fighters in
this city during the last few days,
who have reported concerning par
ties heretofore unheard of.
For this and other reasons the Of
ficial list of the fire victims prob
ably is far from acurate and the total
number of dead undoubtedly will
never be known, as many lonely
settler and traveller m st have per-
ished leaving no record behind. The
list of dead and missing today fol-
lows:
United States forest employees,
Idaho and Montana, 100.
Settlers and fire fighters, st. Joe
valley, Idaho, so.
At Newport, Washington, 8.
At Wallace, Idaho, 4, (does not In
clude foresters.)
At Mullan and Spokane, 8.
Total 100.
Missing.
Negro soldiers near Avery, 4.
Ranger Halms party, headwaters
of st. Joe, Is.
Forest employees in st. Joe val
ley, 25.

Three hundred fire fighters re-
ported missing, were heard from
during the night.

ARRESTED FOR
STARTING FIRES
WITHOUT PERMIT
REV. Il. A. LARDEN WAS ARREST
ED THIS MORNING ON COM
PLANT OF JUDGE WEBSTER
FOR STARTING PUDDING RIVER
FIRE.


Rev. L. A. Larden was arrested to-
day by Constable Hamilton on a COM
plant issued out of the court OF
Judge Webster charging him with
starting a fire in some slashings
without a permit from the fire
warden, and which fire, it is alleged

tion and was bound over to the
grand jury and his bail bond fixed
at $3.50. The penalty for the of
fense charged is a fine of NOT less
than $50 and not in excess Of $500

1t was gotten under control yester-
day forenoon, and no damages have
been reported from it since then.

"POoR OLD DAD" is NOT
EVEN MENTIONED

Portland Ore, Aug. 26.-The hen
at Denver that laid an egg which
weighed Sh ounces has nothing on
a hen belonging to Mrs. A. M. Craw-
ford, of Mt. Tabor, east of Portland.
Bgged on by nothing but her own
pride, the Oregon hen, for the last
month has been laying eggs which
weighed from to S1s ounces each
day while the Denver hen, according
to dispatches, has laid only one large
egg, and that was due, 1t is said, to
the fluctuations of temperature.
The hen owned by Mrs. Crawford
is cross between a Cochin-China
and a Plymouth Rock.

IN HIS FAMILY
SOME IN THE PHIL
IPPINES THAT WE'RE META
PHORICALLY SPEAKING, BORN
OUT OF WEDLOCK HERE ARE
100, 100000.

Washington, Aug, 26.-Comple
tion of the present census will show
a population in the United States Of
between 90,0O0,0O0 and 91,000,00C
according to the first official state
ment made by Director e. D. Durant
of the census bureau, published to-
day.
AIDING to this the probable popu.
lation of the Philippines doubtless
will give a total of 100,0OO,O00.
Although it is hoped that the I'm
tied States proper would reach this
total, calculations are far enough
advanced now to predict with GER
tainty that the number will be small
Ter.
"The net gain from. immigration, :"
said Durand, during the last ten
years has not been as large as might
be supposed. For example, immigra-
tion from 1901 to 1907 into the
United States was only 6,219,O0 in
round numbers. Fully 1,227,O00 of
these people returned to the country
from which they came, leaving a
total increase in population from i'm
migration during these years of only
4,292,00O. So it can be seen that
about Al percent of all immigrants
in these years added nothing to the
total population"

NEW CAR IS A BEAUTY
Frank Knox Presented With a Spe
cial Make Of Stevens-Duryea
Automobile.

Frank Knox, president Of the National
Bank of the Republic, is now the pos
SCISSOR of one Of the finest cars ever
seen in Salt Lake. The new machine,
which is a present of James A. Murray,
his business associate for number of
years, is Of a special make Of the Stew
-Duryea, and while being exhibited in
New York was said to be one of the fin
est finished and best all-arOUnd cars IN
that city
The machine has a different type Of
body than the ordinary, being especially
designed. The finish IS in wine color
of an unusual shade and it's handsomely
furnished throughout. The uphoIsJeriEg
is one Of the many attractive features Of
the new car 1t is q IS b. D. machine
and has ability to make the roads ''whiz
by better than a mile a minute rate.
Il am more than pleased with the new
car said Mr.. Knox. 1T is one of the
finest I have ever seen, and believe that
no one could desire a better. Nothing has
been left out to make IT one of the best
seen in Salt Lake. 1t is thoroughly
equipped with all of the modern
appliances to the automobile. I received
it last night as present from Mr.. Muir
ray. and it is surely the best present !
have ever received While being eX-
hibited in New York it had the reputation
of being one of the finest cars in the
city. A similar reputation for the car
was gained when it was shipped to San
Francisco, from where I received it.
Now, l believe, 1t is among the best OF
Salt Lake. AT lease l think it is all that
can be desired in an automobile"

Revenue Office Kept Working
Overtime by the Corporations

I N order to accommodate as much as
L possible the corporations Of Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming in making reports
10 the department of internal revenue,
Z. II. Callister, collector for the dis
trict, yesterday afternoon kept his Of
flee open after hours. The force of
clerks was kept busy throughout the
greater portion Of the day. and present
indications are that Monday will be
another unusually busy day for the
Office, that being the final day for the
filing of reports as to earnings, or alb
sence of any earnings
The reports. according TO Mr.. Calls
ter, are coming in rapidly, but there is
absolutely no way of determining what
percentage Of the corporations are
complying with the law. There are I'M
doubtedly a number of dead corpo-

rations on the books, and until the
cases have all been investigated 1t will
be impossible to ascertain just how
many Tive" corporations there are in
the three states included in Collector
Callisters district
Any corporation failing to make its
report with the collector of internal
revenue by tomorrow night will be sub
ject to the severe penalty imposed by
the federal government. No excuses
Will be accepted, and 1t is up to the
corporations to get busy, If they have
not already done so. The fact that a
corporation has no earning capacity
does not exempt it from the provisions
Of the corporation tax law, which pro-
vides that every corporation must file
a report of its gross earnings, and if it
has no earnings, must so report to the
revenue department.

right when I say that the people Of
Salt Lake are more alive, show more
interest and are better educated in the
automobile than in any city west OF
the Mississippi river" he said. The
newspapers of the city are doing Won
ders IN boosting and educating the PEG
pie into the use of the automobile. To
them, believe, is largely due the sue
cess of the show, which is, by the way,
one Of the most complete I have ever
seen, in proportion to the size Of the
city.
Il am in this part of the country
collecting ideas and information IN re-
gard TO the needs Of the western people
in the way of automobiles. Most OF my
ideas will be gathered in this city. be-
cause I find that the people Of Salt
Lake not only know more about the
automobile, but they know what they
want in the way of improvements in
the 1912 models.
Already the Thomas factory has
completed the designs for the 1911
models, and the wOrkmen are now con-
structing hundreds of them. What We
want is something new and beneficial
for western travel to be used in the
1912 machines.
Engineers Worrying.
Something that is worrying the
minds of the engineers in all Of the
larger factories is how a machine can
be made that viii stand traffic in the
west where high attitudes are preva-
lent. 1t is a fact that a machine cam
not get the same power in thinner air,
and I believe that fully one-tenth of
the power is lost where a car comes
from the sea level to the altitude of
Salt Lake. Many great Improvements
have been made, however, in the last
few years, and I believe that befors
the 1912 models are completed that
some plan will be developed that will
improve conditions for high attitudes %
Mr.. Nehrbas will remain IN the city
for a few days, and will then go to
Seattle and San Francisco.
At the conclusion Of the show and
after the dealers finished the after
math discussion, the Auditorium pre-
sented a scene Of the greatest activity
of all, when the cars were moved out
into the various garages of the auto
mobile companies. WOrkmen were at
once put to work in the movement
of cars, and in less than one hour after
the show closed officially not one Of the
big, handsome and expensive cars was
TO be seen.
The decorations are to be left in the
Auditorium, as they are to be used for
