SAYS FLOOD LOSS
IS UNDERESTIMATE
]. NJ. Walker Ayers PaIiSade
Canyon is Scene of Almost
Complete Devastation.

That thousands of horses and cattle
lost their lives as result OF the disas-
trous floods in northern Nevada a
month ago, when the Southern Pacific
and Western Pacific roads were put out
Of commission, is the startling state
ment made by ]. NJ. Walker of Hewlett
Bros, who returned to Salt Lake yes
terday from a business trip to Ely and
Winnemucca, New. The food damage
in the vicinity of Palisade canyon, ac-
cording to Mr.. Walker. is enormous
Especially is this true Of the Western
Pacific.
Tracks and entertainments for miles
have been entirely obliterated, accord
ing to Mr. Walker, trestles are gone
and enormous damage done. Most of
the Western Pacific trestles were of the
light patterns and offered little resist
ance to the surging flood waters but
even some Of the more massive ones on
the Southern Pacific were unable to
withstand the terrible battering and
consequently had to give way.
So great is the damage to the West
ern Pacific tracks that it is necessary
for the Gould road to use the tracks Of
the Southern Pacific in numerous
places Large forces of men are at
work making repairs, but it will be
months before any semblance Of order
has been restored.
Between GolcOnda and Battle Noun
tain, said Mr.. Walker, over ], 900 head
of cattle are dead, lying on the desert,
and residents of the district are au-
thority for the statement that thou
sands Of other cattle persisted as a re-
suit of the floods. In a weakened con i.
dition, as a result Of the severe win
ter, the horses and cattle were unable
to battle against the surging food wa
tiers, and thousands of them were
drowned. Their carcasses are visible
along the railroad for miles and miles
Within a radius of fifteen miles Of
Winnemucca, the statement Is made
there are upwards Of 5000 carcasses of
drowned animals.
Mr.. Walker told graphic story of
the flood damage at Palisade, Elko and
other Nevada towns. The water. he
said, is now receding and further food
trouble is not anticipated this year.
Were another flood of the proportions
or the recent one to occur in this dis
trict IL would require millions Of dol
lars and months of hard labor to again
restore order. Hundreds of families
have been homeless, and it is not an I'M
common sight, said Mr.. Walker, to see
the remains OF frame structures crushed
into kindlng wood against the heavy
railroad trestles, evidence of the en-
ormous power OF the Humboldt river
when II ran rampant the early part of
the month.

deaf as a class, Mr.. Matheis last night
said:
in large city the deaf can get
along without much trouble, only If
they are given recognition and are
properly understood. In the more met
ropolitan cities the deaf do not encoun-
ter the obstacles they do in the small
er towns. Here in Salt Lake the deaf
are not treated exactly right. There
are many of them who find 1t quite
hard to secure employment, the busi-
ness men not seeming to realize what
the deaf can do. 1 have visited several
larger cities and there the deaf hold
of trust, but here they do not seem 10
get along as we'll
There are several deaf people in
Utah who have their own business, in
GLIDING farms, shoe shops, etc. They
are determined to do for themselves If
they cannot secure outside assistance.
Their one trouble is that they are back
ward and always want help, due, no
doubt to their trouble in finding work
and assistance. The Z. Q. G. D. is go
ing to boost for the deaf and see that
they are placed on a par with the hear
ing people of Utah If possible"

General Committee at Recent

REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS
COVERS ~ INSPECTIONS.

An echo of the famous smeiter smoke
cases may soon be heard. If the farm
ers OF Salt Lake county carry out their
intention to cite the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company into court for
contempt II is charged that the smelt-
ing company has ignored the decree
rendered Ia the test case Of James Cod
frey against the smelter, in which the
company was ordered to remedy the
smoke nuisance. The farmers say they
have reached a point where patience
has ceased 10 be a virtue, and the case
is once more to be taken into the courts.

At the meeting of the general COM
mittee. of which John c. Mackay is
chairman. during the week, - response
10 request, the subcommittee, made
up of Q. p. Miller Of Fourteenth South
and State streets, DR.. w. c. Ebaugh Of
the state university, and A. E. Lee of
Murray, made another report on its
inspections of the smelter, it being
shown to the satisfaction of the gen.
eral committee that only in one in
stance, during June of last year had
the court order been followed out by
the smelter company.
The subcommittee presented a writ
ten report of its inspections up TO Oc-
tober, 1903, and made a verbal report
of visits since that time, showing a
total Of fourteen visits to the smelter
in all.
Report After Making Visits.
1t was reported by the committee
that, with the exception Of lest June,
the smelter allowed the smoke from its
roasters to pass directly into the stack,
instead of through an 1,SO0-foOt Monier
fiue and settling chamber. as demanded
IN the court decree. Out of seventeen
visits TO the plant, the committee re-
ported, they had found this condition
10 exist, and it was reported to the
general committee that the smelter
company, with the one months excep-
ton, had utterly failed TO comply with
the order.
SO great have the protests from
farmers become that the matter was
referred to Attorney Joseph L. Rawlins,
with instructions TO write the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company that
they have failed to comply with the
court order, and that it would now be
necessary. to cite them into court for
contempt.
The smelter smoke causes have been
attracting more or less public atten-
tion for a number OF years. The God
frey case was used as a test, and after
a long period resulting in the issue of
a decree compelling the smelter COM
pany TO pass its smoke through a fiue
and stelling chamber. The case was
bitterly fought through the federal
court here then in the circuit court of
appeals in st. Louis and finally az
firmed by the supreme court of the
United States.
The subcommittee, which has been
doing the inspection work, has been
making two visits each month to the
Murray works during the growing sea-
son, and one visit each month in the
nom growing season.
