ROAD PREP ARES
FOR EMERGENCY
Supt. Manson of Southern Pacific
Makes Trip of Inspec-
ton.

Superintendent E. c. Manson of the
Salt Lake division of the Southern
Pacific. in returning from a tour OF
insnection over his division, Will leave
Montello this morning In special
with light engine for trip
TO Ogden over the old line of the Cen
tral Pacific around the north end
of the lake.
The superintendent trip around
tho old limo will be made for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining what Will be
needed In the way of coal chutes, wat
er tanks and stations so that the line
can be used In case OF any emer-
goncy. such as has arisen during tho
past two weeks when the storms on
the lake put the cutoff out of commits
sion temporarily.
The order for the reopcning of the
old line was made by Mr. Bancroft fol-
lowing the first storm upon the lake.
He stated that as long as the COM
pany had no intention OF abandoning
tho old line that II might as we'll be
kept up to be used In emergencies.
The principal work Will be done at
Kelton, where a coal chute, water
tark and station will be built AT
other points along the line slight I'M
provements will he made.
The line is said to be laid with CO.
pound steel, which is considered
heavy enough for the traffic which
would go over that line. The road
bed that has run down TO some eX
tent in places, will be improved and
strengthened and new ties will be put
in
II is stated that while the company
is making improvements at Kelton.
the improvements Will be of service
II the proposed line from Saline to
Burley. Idaho. on the Twin Falls
branch should be built
The building of the Saline-Burley
branch would give Ogden another
road to Idaho aud would open up one
OF the rich and undeveloped sec
tions of Box Elder county. Utah. and
tho southern counties OF Idaho. The
line would pass through one portion
OF the Twin Falls country In Idaho
which is adjacent to that section
reached by the government irriga-
ton projects. The country through
which the new line would pass Is
equally AS rich as the Malad valley
which lies to the east of 1t and said
to enjoy the same climatic condi-
unos as the Payette valley in Idaho
While nothing definite has been an
nounced as 10 the building of the Sal
ine-Burley branch, yet 1t is stated that
the preliminary surveys have been
made and that the order for the begin
ming OF the work may be issued CIR
ing the early fall.

GOV. CARROLL Is INDICTED
Grand Jury Returns Bill Charging
loWa's Chief Executive With
Criminal Libel.

Des Moines.-Gov. B. +. Carroll was
indicted Wednesday by the Polk coun,
t. grand jury here on the charge of
criminal libel preferred aaginst him
by John Cownie, former member of
the state board of control, whom the
governor forced to resign under
charges of misconduct preferred in
affidavits by girl inmates of the Girls
Reform school at Mitchellville.
After his resignation Cownie de-
clared he was forced to resign with
out justifiable cause and Governor
Carroll issued a published statement
in which he set forth the claim that
Cownie had sold diseased cattle be-
longing to the state and had conducted
himself unbecomingly among the girls
at Mitchcllville.
The governor was released on his
own recognizance and will demand an
immediate trial. HIS effort will be
to prove the truth of his statements
and show justification for publishing
them. Under the Iowa statute the
penalty upon conviction is imprison-
ment in the penitentiary NOT to ex-
coed one year or fine not to exceed
$1,000.

HASTE KILLS TASTE.

Everywhere haste mars art among
as What is the reason for so re-
splendent failure as the congression-
al library at Washington? Simply that
haste precluded a thorough maturing
of the general scheme and prevented
the mural painters either from har-
monizing their work with the whole or
even doing their individual best. Why
is the average tall building, in spite OF
its imposing mass, poor thing to
look at? Simply because the architect
has hurrledly applied irrelevant orna-
ment to the work of the engineer.
Under commercial conditions these
makeshifts may seem inevitable. But
the vice of precipitancy runs through
our whole social structure. Academic
and Parnassus suffer violence, and the
violent take them by force. How many
university chairs have been occupied
by glib young scholars whose achieve
ment was mostly verbal, while sound
learning languished in obscure posi-
ton? How many an actress has rolled
her pretty eyes at an audience, to be
extolled promptly as a star Of magni-
tude?

TAFT'S ANKLE Is STRAINED
President Meets With Painful Acct
dent While Playing Golf-Puts
in Busy Day.

Bar Harbor.-Once more af1oat,
President Taft and his party on the
Mayflower left Bar Harbor Sunday
night for Penobscot and Casco Bay, in
which they will cruise until Wednes-
day, when the ship will be turned
toward Beverly.
The president hurt his ankle while
he was playing golf on the links of the
Kabo Valley club at Bar Harbor. De-
spite the excruciating pain which was
evidenced by decided limp and facial
grimaces each time he had to climb
in or out of an automobile or train,
the president carried out the exactiLg
program which had been arranged for
him. 1t included speech, an automo-
bile ride and luncheon in Bangor, and
speech and reception at Ellworth.
The president was climbing a steep
grassy slope leading to one OF the
green's when his right foot turned be-
meath him. There was some pain at
the time, but Mr.. Taft though moth
ing of it and continued his game.
Later, however, he suffered consider
able pain.
Surgeon Grayson of the Mayfiower
dressed the injured ankle and made a
thorough examination. He declared
there was no general sprain, but a
bad strain of some of the tendons.

700 HEMMED IN BY FLAMES
Towns of BIoomViIle and Heinemann,
Wis, Menaced by Forest Fires
Railroad Tracks Burned.

Merrill, Wis.-Seven hundred per.
sons of Bloomville and Heinemann
were hemmed in Thursday by forest
fires at the former town with seem.
ingly no means of escape.
The fires have destroyed the rail.
road tracks for some distance be-
tween Bloomville and Merrill, making
it impossible for the Inhabitants of
the doomed village tC seek refuge in
that direction.
The situation at Bloomville is crit
ical The 400 homeless of Heinemann
fled to that village only to be con.
fronted by q similar peril.
Gleason, north of Bloomville, is
isolated by the fire, and it has been
impossible to get word from the vii
lage for many hours. This leaves
Bloomville with its $50 persons cut
off on every side. With the population
nearly tripled, the question of feeding
the people is a serious one. Reports
from Bloomville tell of the fight OF
scores of people, some going on foot
and others in wagons. The loss in
buildings is over 100000.
Several farmers families have not
been accounted for. Fields which
were about to be thrashed and live
stock and buildings were abandoned.

Tit for Tat.

Being of literary turn and having
plenty of leisure, both Mr.. and Mrs.
Gluppins contributed special articles
occasionally to two different newspa-
pers in the town where they resided.
One day Mr.. Gluppins picked up a
manuscript his wife had just finished,
and proceeded to look it over.
That's very good, Bertha" he saiI.
after completing his inspection, but
see you use the phrase, 'well-known
fact l wouldn't do that"
why not?" she asked.
We'll, If a thing is well-known, why
mention it?"
His wife said nothing in rejoinder
at the time, but few days later. while
reading one of his articles in print,
she found something to criticize.
Horace" she said, II am surprised
to see you using the phrase, 'self-evi-
dent"
What's the matter with that?"
why, if a thing is self-evident,
what is the use of calling attention to
it?"
Horace looked at her sharply over
his glasses, but made no verbal re-

He was sailing along at moderate

LIVES SAVED AT SMALL COST
Figures Showing Expenditures For
the Maintenance of Tubercu-
loSis Sanatorums.

In comparative study Of the cost
of maintenance in thirty tuberculosis
sanatoriums the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis found that the food cost in
most of the institutions represented
one-third of the annual expenditures.
The average daily food cost per pa
tient was $0.544. The expenditures for
salaries and wages represented nearly
another third, being $0.4S1 per day per
patient out of total Of $1.G69 The
fuel, oil and light cost was $4,000 per
capita per diem, or about one-eighth
of the total cost The daily cost in
the several institutions ranged all the
way from $0.946 per patient to $2555.
In the far west and southwest, as in
Colorado and New Mexico and Cali
fornia, the cost was higher than in the
east, in New York and New England.
being $2.025 per patient as against
$1.74S. The total expenditures of the
thirty institutions were $1,363, 953.2S,
while the total receipts from all
sources were 81, 54S, 525.74. More than
20 per cent. of the receipts were re-
ceived from public funds and private
benefactions, only 2S8 per cent. being
from patients. Stated in another way
only 35 per cent. of the total eXpendi-
lures were received from patients, the
remainder being made up from other
sources.

SCORES SAVED BY WIRELESS
Sister Vessel Goes to Relief of Burn

Are Safe.

Charleston, S. C.-The snap and
flash of the wireless, sending out the
IS. o. S." the call that has super
seeded the &C. @. D."-the high sea
cry for help-Saturday resulted in the
saving of scores of lives from the
burning coast liner Momus, owned by
the Southern Pacific company, off the
Florida coast. News of the rescue
was brought by wireless dispatches
received here.
The Comus, a ship belonging to the
same line, answered the call, standing
by while the passengers were trans
ferred. The advices sent out while
the vessel was ablaze in twelve faith
oms of water said there was mini
mu1a of confusion among the passen-
gers, and that nearly all, especially
the women, acted with heroism from
the time the flames were discovered
until they were safe aboard the relief
ship.

dence that Ira G. Rawn, late presi-

dered for revenge by former chauf-
feur and the discovery that the

Albert Lea.-Republican insurgency
in the First district which, to all
appearances, has been lifeless
and forgotten, suddenly took on a new
lease of life and upon the ears Of
the Republicans of the district was
sprung the startling announcement that
Sidney A. Anderson of Fillmore coun-
ty was to be brought forth as a can
didate against Congressman James
A. Tawney at q meeting to be held in
Rochester, Tuesday afternoon at
o'clock
This information leaked out through
one of the progressives, who had be-
come somewhat impatient at the de-
lay in securing suitable candidate
and he partially gave vent to his feel
ings and told the news of the secret
conclave to the newspapers.
The statement issued says:
I'VE have found candidate who
is willing to make the run against
Tawney in the person of SYDNEY An
derson of Fillmore county, prominent
young attorney of that county. He is
good speaker, likely appearing and
will make an excellent fight against
TaWney."

was that of President Brown of the

statistics pointing the moral that we
have surrendered our place as the first
of the food-exporting nations; that
food production has not kept pace with
consumption, and that in few years
we shall be compelled to import grain.

about 100000 acres of practically
abandoned farm land, while the land
that is cultivated Is bled mere and

Two sailing ships, in coast parlance
from Seattle provided with wireless
telegraph equipment-the first craft of
their character to be thus equipped.
One of the ships was provided with
the apparatus by her Japanese stew
ard, who was formerly member of
the signal corps of his country's navy.
This indicates that the installation of
wireless telegraphy on sailing ships is
neither complex nor costly, and fore
shadows quite general use of the valu-
able means of communication. Ro-
nance and mystery are being driven
