New York. Aug. i7.--Inquiry at the
offices here of the three great trans
Atlantic cable companies developed
the fact that on all fifteen submarine
lines between North America and Eu-
rope traffic was still badly congested
today. dut primarily to the require
ments and restrictions OF the censors
at the European terminals.
The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany's system Of eight cables was In
better condition than at any time since
the establishment Of censorship II
was said today.
Cable Messages Censored.
The delivery Of messages TO the ter
minals in Europe. however. does not
necessarily mean that they will reach
their destinations Immediately. One
day last week the London office OF
the Western Union reported that 1000
cablegrams had piled up there await
ing inspection by the censors. The
entire system of the Western Union
cables to the south OF Europe is SINH
larly affected. as practically all the
terminals are in British possessions.
The abolition of code has worked
great hardships on the Western Union
as well AS on other systems.
Works Fairly Well.
The Commercial Cable companys
system Of five cables to Europe was
reported today to be working with all
the dispatch that could be expected.
II was said at the New York office
of the French Gable company which
operates two cables, one to England
and one to France. that the company
had reduced the delay to twenty hours.
The English owned cable lines be-
tween England and central and south
ern continental Europe and the Scan
dinavian peninsula were said TO be
interrupted. although under a censor
ship even more severe than that inn
posed on the lines TO North America.
The lines through the Mediterranean
to ports in Asia Minor and the Far
East are also under strict censorship.
The majority Of these lines are Eng
fish owned.
Where There Are No Censors.
The Commercial company's trans
Pacific cable from San Francisco to
Manila, via Honolulu. Midway and
Guam and the lines between Manila
and ports in Japan and China, with
the exception of Hong Kong and points
reached through that city which Is
under British control. and the lines
between the United States and Cen
trail and South America are the only
cables not under censorship.

Method of Fighting Blight

For the purpose of successfully COM
batting fire blight in the fruit produc-
ing counties OF the state, Assistant
Commissioner T. o. Morrison OF the
department OF agriculture, and F. E.
DeSellem, Inspector of the North Yak

plan of inspiring the fruit rancher to
do his own policing, by organizing
them into Fruit Protective associations.

Probably one OF the widest rides
ever experienced by railroad man on
the run between this city and Seattle
was taken by our fellow townsman,
now city clerk, Sam Potter. At least
Sam says so. In years past, Sam who
is one of the old residents used to fol-
low the railroad business for livelihood.
He started in as fireman, but his
ability was soon recognized by his SUI
periors, and promotion being more
rapid 10 or twelve years ago than 1t is
now he was soon given job pulling
the throttle.
But we are getting away from the
story. 1t was while Sam was still
shoveling coal that he took this widest
of rides, for which he is still annually
offering up thanks to his creator that
his existence on this earth was not cut
shorter.
A few years ago, we might say ten
or twelve, it was an unheard OF thing
to put two engines on the head OF a
passenger train to haul it over the
mountains, and as a result they seldom
went into Seattle on time.
Billy Lowe, one Of the Oldest engi-
neers with the Great Northern Railway
Co., who is still running trains out OF
Spokane, was at this time, 1900. pull
ing passenger trains between here and
the coast. One day Billy was called
into the Superintendent office, and
asked why it was that he and the rest
of the bunch could not bring their
trains into Seattle on time. To which
he replied that it was almost an i'm
possibility, on account OF losing so
much time going up the hill. Then
you mean to tell me you can't do it,
was the officials answer. Billy scratched
his head moment and then blurted
out, ''Yes, I can do it." We'll,
please see that you do in the fu-
ture, was the Superintendent re-
ioinder, and that ended the confab.
The very next trip Engineer Lowe
made up his mind that the train he
pulled would 60 into the Sound city on
time. On this day as usual he was an
hour and half late at the top OF the
hill, but this didn't bother Billy.
Keep up your steam, kid he hollered
over to the fireman, we're going into
Seattle on time. His helper, Geo.
Oberg, who has long since disappeared
from these parts looked at his chief.
with establishment, but did his bidding
and said nothing.
However he wasn't to remain quiet
long. Every second the train was
gathering speed, until it looked as
though it would surely leave the rails
at the next curve. Was his engineer
crazy7 Surely he must be, for no man
with an ounce of brains would let a
passenger train roll down the mountain
at the speed that they were going,
and he begged and implored Billy to
''slower 'er" down. But he realized
soon that he was wasting his breath
and then made up his mind that at

FOR IRRI-
CATION CONGRESS
Called by Secretary Lane to Open In
Denver April 9th and Probably
Continue Three Days.

A tentative program has been ar
ranged, subject to change, for the ir-
rigation conference called by Secre-
tary Lane of the Interior Department
to be held in Denver, Colorado, begin
ming Thursday, April 8, and continu-
ing, probably, through Friday and
Saturday.
It is proposed to divide the confer
ence into sections, which will deal with
the following subjects:
Incorporation between State and
Nation;
2-Carey Act Projects;
3--Irrigation Districts;
4-Administration and Operation Of
Desert Land Act;
5-Settlement of Irrigated Lands,
Crops, Markets, Finances;
6-Ways and Means Of Financing
Future Work.
The Conference will convene i'm
mediately following the meeting OF
the Governors of the western states,
which is to be held in Denver on April
7 and s.
The Irrigation Conference will be
open to anyone interested in the gen
eral subjects to be open to anyone in
terested in the general subjects to be
discussed. The limited time will
make it impossible to consider any but
the larger subjects in connection with
irrigation generally.
Individual projects will not be dis
cussed, excepting, perhaps, as they
may bear upon the general questions
under consideration.

ANOTHER PIONEER
ANSWERS SUMMONS.

Henry Elliker, well known resi-
dent of Cedar City for a good many
years, departed this life last Thurs
day morning at l o'clock. Pneumonia
with which he was stricken last Mon
day, was the immediate cause of his
death, though he has been practi-
cally belfast for the last three years.
Six months ago he was removed to the
residence Of his daughter Mrs. Will
liam Houchen, in order to receive the
care that his infrm condition deman-
ded. This is the last time that he
was out of the house before his death.
Brother Elliker was born in Swift
zerland So years and six months ago
and came to Cedar City in 1856 where
he has resided the most Of the time
since. He was possessed of won
derful physique during his prime,
an illustration of which is shown by
one incident Of this part of his life.
The deceased who was working at
Beaver at the time, learned that his
family then located at Toquerville
were out Of -four. He made the trip
from Beaver to Toquerville on foot,
and Immediately started back to
Cedar City carrying bushel Of wheat
on his back. This he brought to the
grist mill at this place, without any
other means Of locomotion that those
supplied by nature, and returned to
Toquerville with the -four in the same
way.
The deceased, who had reached a
ripe old age, leaves wife and seven
children as follows: William and
John Elliker, Mary L. Houchen, Sarah
t. Dover, Barbara Sherratt, Margaret
Dover, and Minnie Baxter.
Funeral services will be held in the
tabernacle, Sunday at 8 p. m.

Mr.. Willard Cory was given the
role as toast-master and succeeded
In getting response from nearly ev-
cry gentleman present. After all had
exhausted their ability to show any
more appreciation for the viands,
lingering departure was taken and the
company repaired to the Ward Hall,
where the east ward nimrods were
given free tickets to the dance in
progress there. After dancing for
some time their feelings began to alter
regarding the banquet that, in care
less moment, they had been induced
to leave, and the memory of which
still fingered In their recollection, un-
til they could stand the temptation
no longer and throwing prudence to
the winds, they returned to the scene
Of their former vanquishment, and
this time allayed the COST in man
ner that assured its retirement from
their fancies for the night. AS there
was nothing left now to haunt their
tired visions, they dispersed to their
several places of abode and enjoyed
"a well earned rest"
