$14,OOO,OOO TO REPAIR
DAMAGE TO CLARK ROAD

Before through traffic is moved
over the line from Salt Lake to
Los Angeles, the San Pedro, Los
Angeles and Salt Lake railway
company will have suffered an ex-
penditure of nearly $14,000,000 for
the frolic of the elements in Rain
bow canyon, down in the Meadow
valley, according to J. Ross Clark,
second vice president of the road.
Mr.. Clark sized up the situation in
this way in an interview:
"The report that we were dam
aged to the extent of $14,000,000
by the flood waters is overdrawn.
We suffered heavily, but not nearly
to that extent. Repairs, construc-
ton and betterments, together with
the loss of patronage sustained dur
ing the period of the break, may
however, run the total up to some
thing like that sum.
"The story that we lost ninety
four miles of track is also exagger,
ated, although a good portion OF
the track is gone for a distance Of
sixty miles. In places it, is intact
and can be replaced

AUTOMATIC SWITCH WOULD
PREVENT ACCIDENTS

Railroad men are greatly inter-
ested in an automatic switch that
is being demonstrated in Ogden.
The switch is what is known as an
improved stub switch operated
from the engine by the engineer
while the train is in motion, CIV
ing the engineer complete control
of the switch even while the train
is running at high rate of speed.
TO set the switch necessitates the
movement of a side or locking de-
vice. While the train is passing
over the switch. for fifty feet be-
fore until fifty feet after, the rails
are immovable because of the
weight of the train, and the weight
of the train also readjusts the
switch so that train coming on
the main line cannot run on the
siding.
During the passage of a train 1t
is impossible to change the position
OF the switch.
The engine is equipped with a
trip adjustment that is automatic
and normally closed This means
that the train must remain on the
main line unless the trip is thrown
into the fiange on the rail to throw
the switch for the siding, all being
controlled by the engineer In the
cab.

HAY IN EUREKA is
SELLING FOR $35 A TON

Hay is now selling in the Eu-
reka market at $35 per ton, and
very little is to be had, says the
Sentinel. The unusual demand for
feed for livestock during the past
few weeks, owing to the extreme
cold weather and snow, has prac-
tically depleted the amount of hay
ordinarily on hand at this season

end of Eureka county that usually
supply this market. A car load
of hay was shipped in here this
week form. Ogden, Utah. There is
also a shortage of grain at present

scorns to do battle with Cairo,
which is now not even in the
Kitty" league.
Base ball by some is thought
to be derived from the game
prisoners base, but this must
have been an indoor variety OF
the sport, and utterly unenjoy-
able. The name or titles smacks
of sedentary occupation, like pick
ing jute, whereas base ball is al
fresco and salubrious, Nand no
yitiating air is breathed except
by such who have partaken in
discriminatory of onions and
limburger, a kind of cheese.
Altogether, there is little to
say of the early life OF base ball
since, like Topsy. the sable SOU
brette, 1t had no infancy, but
merely vegetated.
This much may be admitted,
though, that in the beginning it
met with excruciating difficult
ties. The performers were wont
to cavort in snug fitting knicker-
bockers SO that frequently there
were shocking delays until a
merchant tailor could be sum-
moned from the audience. These
matters, and COATES worn by
second basemen, in low-crowned
white derbies, are better forgot
ten than dwelt upon at this time.
1t suffices that now base ball is
not played by daguerreotypes.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-07-08

Who participated in the first
game of base ball is not very
clearly known, but we recall
something of the kind when the
ship pitched and Jonah, after
fouling the weather, sacrificed,
and was thrown out to the whale,
the effect of this being an I'm
side" play.
Be that as 1t may, there is
little regarding base bail in the
lore of McGuffey. The youth OF
our land in the walnut school
desk period was accustomed to
the more polite accomplishments.
such as battledore and shuttle
cock, and parcheesi.
Moreover, base bali is not
thought to have flourished before
the days of John T. Brush, else
he would have heard of 1t sooner,
and would not, in. the first flush
of his youth, have considered a
department store more lucrative.
Notwithstanding that base ball
was therefore not known to our
grandsires, 1t may be conceded to
be the game of our grandmothers,
since they nobly gave up their
lives in considerable numbers an
nually to foster the good cause.
incidentally, it is shame that
more respect is not given these
unselfish ladies. II 1t were, all
league remnants would be repre-
sented by graceful steamers of
