DEAD WASHED
AWAY BY FLOOD
REPORT OF FATALITY COMES
FROM DESERT
SALT LAKE RAILROAD IN BAD
CONDITION
Reconstruction Work Will Cover Dis.
tance of One Hundred Miles and
Take Fully Two Months
to Complete
A report from Rocks station on the
Bait Lake railroad states that the
,rl il Is have resulted in fatalities.
Owing to the difficulty of communica
tion little definite information could be
obi lined.
According to a report sent in by the
operator at that station, a corpse was
to be seen lloating down the stream.
On account of the station being cut off
from communication, he was com] ell( d
to climb the hills and make his way to
Guelph, about fifteen miles away by
the course which he took, before he
could reach a station where he could
send in his report.
Following the railroad was made im
possible by the torrent that rushed
down tbe valley. While on his way to
Guelph he distinguished a body In the
water, -which was rapidly being rushed
down the stream. This ghastly Sight,
together with the exhaustion resulting
from the hard trip, almost unnerved
him, but he reached Guelph. where he
made wire connections and sent In hi*
report.
Salt Lake In Bad Shape
The announcement made at the gen
eral manager's office of the Salt Lake
railroad yesterday was that it will be
at least two months before transconti
nental traffic to Salt Lake will be re
sumed by that company.
Carl Balch, assistant general man
ager, in speaking of the condition of
the lines, stated: "It looks as though
-ive have 100 miles of new construction
work before the lines will be in good
shape again. Owing to the wires be
ing down, it is impossible to know just
liow much damage has been done by
the recent storms."
According to these and many other
reports, it is almost certain the recon
struction of the washed out tracks and
bridges will hardly be accomplished be
fore spring.
The west-bound trains of the Santa
Fe, which have been arriving east of
Cajon pass since Friday evening, finally
crossed the pas.s Monday night and
reached Los Angeles at different inter
vals during Monday night and up to
9:30 o'clock yesterday morning. There
were seven trains altogether, four Cali
fornia limiteds and six overlands. Two
Salt Lake trains which had also 1" en
delayed north of Cajon pass arrived
Monday nieht.
Cars Covered with Snow
Those who were present at the depot
when the first limited arrive,l were
treated to a strange sight for Los An
geles. The roofs of the cars were cov
ered with snow when the tram pulled
in a. 9:30 o'clock.
Tlue train which arrived Monday
night left Chicago the previous Tues
day an(J was the first section of the
California limited. The train was de
layed at Kansas City, owing- to some
trouble with the cars, and the second
section passed it. At Barstow last night
the second section was just forty-nve
minutes ahead of the first section.
The former crossed over the pass all
right, but the first was blocked by
landslides which happened during the
intervening forty-five minutes.
All the Santa Fe trains are leaving
Los Angeles on time, but owing to the
tieup on the Mojave-Barstow line it is
still necessary to send the San Fran
cisco traffic through Los Angeles.
A number of San Francisco passen
gers were on the trains which arrived
Monday night, and they
north yesterday on a Santa Fe special
by way of the Southern Pacific to Mo
jave.
Empties Sent East
In order to supply a shortage of cars
in the east, the Santa Fe sent a long
train of empty equipment east early
morningl. They wen
over the Orange route to avoid tin*
large number of west-bound trains
coming in through Pasadena.
All the washed out branches of the
Pacific Electric are being repaired and
traffic is gtadully being resumed. Cars
to Glendale were operating yesterday
and the Santa Ana line was opened late
last nieht.
Whittler is still cut off from the city
because of the bridge just east of Rio
Hondo being washed away. It is ex
pected that through cars will be ope
rated to Whlttier some time today.
At 11 o'clock last night a Salt' Lake
train with seven sleepers, two diners
and two baggage cars arrived In Los
Angeles over the Southern Pacific val
ley line.
The train was from Salt Lake, and in
order to avoid the washouts along the
roads of the Salt Lake railroad it was
routed to Sacramento and from there
came down through the valley.
SNOW ADDS TO WOES
OF SALT LAKE RAILROAD
SALT LAKE, Jan. 4.— General Man
ager R. ?:. Wells of the Pan P<
Los Angeles & Salt Lake road, who has
returned to this city from the scene of
the disastrous washouts in south'
crn Nevada, said today that no clc

With wires west of Caliente, Nev.,
prostrated, officials of the rai;
company in Salt Lake are loath to
venture an opinion as to the possible
extent of the damage wrought to tracks
and roadbed.
A further handicap to repair work
has appeared since Sunday night, when
the tracks were covered with snow to
a depth of ten or twelve Inches.
The railroad officials announced to
day that everything within the limits
of possibility was being done for the
comfort of passengers on Train No. 4,
which Is believed to be held up at
Culiente.

It is the purpose of Mr, Van Nuys to

structure.
Class A Type
The building will be of the class A
type, a fire-proof steel structure, mod
ern in appearance and conveniences.
Recently Mr. Van Nuys acquired
more frontage on spring street, a lot
on the west Bide of Spring street, sixty
feet south of the corner lot, for which
he paid $150.0 The lot is 60x155 feet. |
I. W. Hellman lias Instructed Archl-:
tecta Morgan & Wells to draw plans for '
a modern lireproof building that will
cost about $1,000,000. and when com
pleted will be of fourteen stories. The
Bpace to be occupied by the structure
is T.ixv. ie. i on the south side of
Fourth street, between the Union Trust
and the Southern Trust buildings.
Build Six Stories
It is the intention of Mr. Hellman to
first make the building six stories, with
provision for seventy-live offices above
the ground floor rooms, wliich will be
leased for stores. Later eight stories
will be added. The alley space will be
arched, the new building joining the
Southern Trust building on the east.
As soon as the plans and specifica
tions are drawn the contracts will be
let. This improvement is in accordance
with the early plans of Mr. Hellman,
conceived several gears ago when he
expended several millions o£ dollars In
the construction of the Farmers and
.Merchants' bank structure and the oth
er buildings adjoining the bank on the
south and west.

Health Cranks and
Food Faddists
Have Evolved Some Strange and I
Wonderful Theories Concerning
Stomach Treatment
A Trial Packan of Stuart's I)j-|)epsla Tab
lets Sent lree
Within the last 20 years there has
sprung into existence theories by the
score relative to the kinds of food that
human beings should eat, and should
avoid. With the tremendous increase
in nervous and stomach diseases which
are caused by the strenuous life of this |
neurotic, neurasthenic age in which
we live, we are constantly having our!
attention called to some food faddist's
"new idea" on tl.e subject of allmenta- ,
tion.
Most prominent among these theo
rists is the vegetarian who insists that
meat, was never Intended for the hu
man stomach, despite the fact that his
ancestors for 6000 years or more
used it as their principal article of i
diet: and the old patriarchs of Biblical
History who lived to prodigious old |
ages were meat eaters. All of the I
great nations of history have be< n
users of meat, and all of the most j
powerful and advanced countries of
today employ it extensively in their
dietaries, and their superior develop- 1
tnent and fllgh degree ot civilization |
are in strong and striking contrast to
the d ihd degenerate nations
of Asia and the tropics, whose Inhabi
tants are vegi tartans.
Another fallacy which has lately be
come a fad is the so-called "low-pro
teld' 1 diet. Now, the foods which arc
rich in protelda are the ones which I
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood, I
I n duction in the j
amount of pro' Id used simply means i
aemi-Btarvatlon for the most important]
centers of the system—the ones on .
which we depend the most to enable vs 1
to successfully light the battles of life.
Those nations whose people use foods
containing but little proteid are never
of large frame or well-built. 1
nese, who have alwaj been email of
stature, have, since adopting a more
liberal pro,teld diet, shown a remark
able increase in size, vigor and gen
eral development : and it is only i
Japan became a meat-eating nation
thai it has developed into a world
power.
Btill an. use,- thi oi y lately advai
Is that sugar, pepper and salt are
gastric irritants and irritate the mu
cous membrane of the stomach, al
though it is known that sugar pos
sesses a high caloric value, while pep
per and salt assist digestion rather
than interfere with it, as is claimed.
The no-breakfast plan, the two-meal
per (lay, and even the one meal daily
has been advocated, while some advise
a two or three weeks' fast, during
which all food la withheld from the I
stomach "to give 11 best." completely I
ignoring the fact that the system's tis- I
sues are being constantly torn down
- asi Off, and new material to re
build them must be supplied from the
food.
It is utter nonsense to concern one's
self about all these absurd and illogi
cal theories, as life is entirely too
short, and there are other things re
quiring o. attention. Kat what you
want when yon want it, and as much
as the system needs to replenish Its
,il then take one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and forget
all about food fad« and stomach trou
ble*. They digest all kinds of food so
thoroughly yon on't know you have
a stomach. They are powerful diges
toTS of every kind of food, though
harmless to the system, and may be
taki " Bl any time and in any quantity.
