Time was and not so very
long ago either, when the great
majority of people in this To-

why, we could never under

of us live out of doors as much
as possible during the Spring,
Summer and early Fall months.
The natural time to buy new
floor coverings is in the Fall, Just
before the weather man com
pels us to "house up" when we
are forced to live Understand

BULL FIGHTS IN UTAH

Salt Lake, Utah, July 22.-The great
Spanish festival, which began today
at saltair, resort on the Great Salt
Lake, has attracted thousands Of Wis.
itors from all parts of the west and
southwest. The principal day will be
Monday. when the anniversary of the
entrance of the pioneers in Salt Lake
Lake Valley will be celebrated. The
most powerful magnet for attracting
visitors seems to be the expectation
that real bull fights will be given in
the specially erected arena at Saltair.
Some Of the most famous matadors
and toreadors from Mexico have been
brought here and also number of
bulls of the special breed employed in
he Spanish and Mexican bull fights.
I is quite probable. however, that the
church people Of the city will take
'rompt steps to put a stop to any bull
lights that may be attempted to be
iven.

San Francisco, July 22.-Cloudbursts
that filed the canyons with debris
and turned mine buildings into house
boats, marked the climax of a hot
wave which sent the mercury up to
40 in the Death Valley sink during
the past week.
The terrific heat drove miners and
prospectors out of the desert Just in
time to avoid the heaviest rainfall the
mountain regions surrounding the sink
have experienced for thirty years.
Reports at hand indicate consider
able changes in the topography of the
Hood swept regions. The roar of thun-

from this city could be heard here.
In the zone intersected. by the Tono-

were almost completely filed with
debris and at the mines among the
hills bunk houses were carried away

Union Pacific was the strong feature
of the list, advancing 5-S of a point,
to 1872 S-S, its high price of the year.
Gains elsewhere were small but vir-
tually the entire list shared in the
advance. After opening gains had
been increased fractionally the mar
ket eased off. Selling orders were
met easily and the lists retained
parts of gains. The market closed
easy. The firmness of the first hour

5 YEARS LIBERTY

Viterbo, Italy, July 22.-The lawyers
for the defense have struck, and as a
consequence the Camorrists' trial was
adjourned today until next Wednes-
day, TO afford them time in which to
decide on their future attitude.
Unless some agreement is reached
with the court and the lawyers before
the sessions are resumed, 1t is prob
able that the trial will be definitely
stopped and later begun all over again.
The trouble began yesterday, when
Captain Fabroni, one of the crowns
best witnesses, defending himself
and his associates of the carabineers
denounced Lawyer Lioy as a suborner
OF perjury and Lioy replied in an un-
cienifled manner During the excite
ment all of the other lawyers left the
court room and later sent a message
to President Binchi, saying that they
could not with dignity return to the
court If they were not assured of pro-
,ection. At the same time they said
hey were taking steps to persuade the
offending lawyers to withdraw from
he case.
The prisoners protested violently /
lgainst the postponement, saying that

A. w. Thompson against the Camfield

to an end that piece of litigation. Cam

Thompson was suing for one-seventh

trustees to the Camfield Development
company. This brings to an end prac-

camfield company that are of local

cholera CLAIMS
ninth VICTIM
SUSPECTED CASE AT BELLEVUE
HOSPITAL, N. Y, ARoUSES
APPREHENSION

New York, July %. - Cholera
claimed another victim today among
the patients in the hospital at Swine
bourne Island. The death of Domet-
rio Anagnoson, aged II, reported
there, makes the total deaths in
quarantine nine. The boy was
steerage passenger on the steamer
Moltke from Naples. No new cases
of cholera were reported among the
other immigrants undergoing examin-
alton at Hoffman Island.
The cholera guard today centered
attention on Bellevue hospital in the
rear Of the city, where a case that
arouses suspicion has been discov-
cred. The suspect is Manuel Barba-
do, Spaniard, who arrived here
from Liverpool July 1 as a fireman
on a tramp steamer originally from
South America. Some anxiety has
been aroused by the fact that the
man was taken sick at a sailors
boarding house here before his re-
moval to the hospital.
No new cases have been reported
among the other immigrants at
quarantine.
The health officers look for an
easier task in the future owing to the
fact that most of the steamers from
the Mediterranean will not take pas
sengers from Naples and Palermo
while the epidemic lasts there

Ratified BY Biq Majority

Washington, July 22.-By vote
of SO to 27, the senate today passed
the Canadian reciprocity bill as or
iginally drafted. The measure, how
ever, cannot become law until next
Wednesday, as the house adjourned
at 1909 o'clock until that time, and
the bill must be returned to the house
for engrossment before it can be
signed by the president.
The passage Of the reciprocity
bill by the senate today, in precise
ly the form it emerged from the
house, will bring to an end Presi-
dent Taft's long fight for the meas
ure. During the debate which led
up to today's final action, party
lines were swept away and a vigorous
fight was waged to saddle the mea-
sure with riders that friends Of the
measure claimed would have meant
the defeat Of the whole proposition.
Seventy-eight senators were present
WHEN the bill was taken up. The
amendment of Senator McCumber of
North Dakota, reducing the duties
on many necessities of life and in.
creasing the free list, was first TAX
EN- up and defeated 16 to Ga.
Previous to its final passage, the
senate by overwhelming votes de

VIEWS ON ALASKA
IN OUTLOOK Ex-PREsIDENT DIS
cUssEs DEVELOPMENT OF
THAT TERRITORY

New York, July 22.-Theodore
Roosevelt has an article on the devel-
oIment of Alaska in today's issue of
The Outlook. He declares two factors
tc be responsible for retarding prog
ress in that direction, the great cap
italists who wished to develop Alaska
by making enormous fortunes for
tl1ensse s'ses 35atside of and in defiance
OF law" and the congressman. who,
under the pretense of hostility to
the corporations, decline to permit the
passage of legislation which will en-
able them to do their work honestly
and to develop the coal fields with
fair profit to themselves, while doing
Justice to Others
Referring specifically to the Con-
roller Bay case, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Controller Bay, under actual con-
iltions, offers the only chance or, at
my rate, very much the best chance
or a free outlet from the great Ber-
ng river coal fields. 1t was the i'm
'erative duty Of the government to
Ieep this outlet free and not to dis.
'ose of it to any individual or individ-
lals. Whether or not there was i'm.
'ropriety in the action which resulted
n the instant filing of claims by Mr..
lyan and others, does not go to the
DOT of the matter. The public inter-
st demanded that the land should be
.ept under public control, and that to
Tevent monopoly its use should be
ermitted only under such conditions
s the public needs require. Remem-
er always that such action would not

avored development, for it would
ave enabled any honest corporation

rowded out by some other corpora
on which by unwise government ac-
