Lyman Reservoir
Dam Gives Away
Eiqht People Reported Drowned In
Flood Of Water Which Follows
Break


Lyman reservoir, twelve miles above
here, broke in the night and eight
people were drowned, among others
three children OF Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
Palmer while the father and mother
were in ST.. Johns. They we're rel
atives of the Berry family of Kanar-
ra.
Dilligent inquiry in this city today
failed to locate any relatives of the
Palmer or Berry families, except G..
A. Berry, S32 East Eight South, who
Is member of the Berry family of
Kanarra, Utah, but said today that
he knew of no relatives by the name
Of Palmer. He said, however, that
the Palmers mentioned in the tele-
gram may be relatives Of his cousins
in Kanarra.
Miss Maralda Robinson, rs Ninth
avenue, who formerly lived in Arizo-
ma. said that she was slightly ac-
quainted with the Palmer family men,
toned in the dispatch. She said
they formerly lived in Taylor, Ariz.,
and that there were seven or eight
young children in the family.
Miss Susie West, daughter of John
A. West, us Ninth avenue, who for
merly lived in Snow fake, Arizona,
said today that she was we'll acquain-
ted with Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis Palmer.
They formerly lived in Taylor, Ariz.,
but moved to a ranch near the Lyman
dam about two years ago.
1t is understood that Mrs. Mar
garet Kartchner, rs F street, is a dis
tant relation of Mr.. Palmer, but this
could not be verified.
President kimbali Shocked
President Andrew Kimball of St.
Joseph stake, Arizona, who is in
Salt Lake City today, was seen at
the office of the First Presidency this
morning and informed of the acct
dent. He was greatly surprised and
shocked at the news, as he said he
was familiar with the dam and had
been much impressed with its great
strength. He visited that region
twice last summer and remembers re
marking on the immense size and ap
, parent impregnable solidity Of the
dam.
The dam was built by a syndicate
two years ago. 1t is made of dir
and rock and forms lake severa
square miles in area. The projec
furnishes water to irrigate about 10,
900 acres of land, not all of which
has been taken up. President Kim
ball Is of the opinion that the per
sons drowned lived in some OF tn
scattered ranches near the river. II
believes the main food waters woul
20 to the east Of st. Johns so tina
the town will probably not be serious
" damaged The food might caus
serious damage further down, how
ever, he said.
: President Kimball said he was nc
{ personally acquainted with the Pa
D mer family mentioned in the dispatc
!, but said that he was well acquainte
u with the Berry family, some OF who's
. members reside in st. Johns.

STATION USHERS KICK
SLAVERY METHODS

Slavery paraIeling that of the
Pullman car porters has been uncov-
cred in Chicago. Again railroads are
found to be keepers of group of
men who must subsist practically on
tips from the travelling public.
These men are station ushers.
They are paid ittle-or nothing

gage smashers. They wear uniforms
which they are compelled to purchase
out of their tips.
A short time ago, the ushers claim,
they were ordered to purchase diff
ferent style of uniform. Many of the
men had just bought a new one for
ethe summer. These they will be

bined with their tips, frequently
brought their salary up to $40 week.
Six months ago the officials of the
Rock Island and Lake Shore Lines,
in making cuts on the departments,
wiped out the pitiably salary paid
these men. Twelve men who have
been at the station for more than
ten years were exempt. Their pay
was cut to SIS month.
Many of the men quit. They found
they were unable to support their
families. Unmarried boys took their
places. Others moved into cheaper
neighborhoods and their families for
sock many little luxuries to which
they had become accustomed.
The men work long hours. The
day shift works from $50 a. m. to
$50 D. m. and the night shift works
from 7:30 p. m. till 10 o'clock the next
morning. This permits all the ushers
to meet the large number of trains
which arrive around 9 o'clock in the
morning.

HOW ABOUT THE "F

BONE"? WHAT'S a funny bone"
and why does blow on the elbow
cause so different sensation from
blow on the nose or chin?-curious
Reader.
When you bump your nose or chin
you bump the flesh and bone and not
a nerve, consequently you feel SEN
sation or pain just where the blow
was struck. If you strike the point
of your elbow it will be just the same.
It's only when you strike that little
hollow between the big central bone
of the elbow and the little inside bone
that the tickling, tingling sensation is
felt. In the little hollow you strike
one of the large trunk nerves that
spring between the vertebrae at the
base of the neck and runs through
the arm to the wrist: In the hollow
of the elbow the nerve lies over
bone. When you strike that spot you
feel tingling sensation which isn't
exactly funny, but because it tickles
the bone is called the funny bone"

 This may be said-that SO satls- factory is tho cost at tho present time. that 1t is the opinion of some of the directors that the company can prontably widen its field and take in more low grade ores and profitably reduce the value of orc per ton. just as in copper mining, widening the op. erations on the vein may show less return per ton. but greater final profit
 The expense sheets are so satis- factory at the present time that, com bined with the larger operations, the net result may be better than the original estimate from 75-cent costs and S15O per ton recoyeries.
