ADVANCES HELD UP
DURING MORNING
TRADE HOURS
United States Steel Offered
Freely on Each Burst
of Strength
New York, N. Y., Aug 18. Advances
held fluite rrfinprallv duriner the earlv
J session, subject to small short reces
sions as the short interest manifested
a renewal of activity.
The Union Pacific statement was
undoubtedly a factor in checking the
decline. So far as could be seen, how
ever, it was not productive of any
considerable amount of Investment
buying.
United States Steel was offered for
sale on every fresh outburst of
strength and this fact was associated
with the proposed tariff revision in
the steel Industry. The critical labor
situation in England was reflected in
some selling from London. The one
feature of the bond list was a two
point decline in American Tobacco
4's. , The bond market generally was
teady.
The market closed strong. The en
tire active list moved up to a higher
level in the last hour. Especial
strength was shown by Union Pacific,
Reading, Lehigh Valley, Atchison,
United States Steel and in fact all the
speculative leaders. The movement
was more sustained than any of the
day and resulted in numerous net
gains of two to three points.

ISSUES STATEMENT
TO QUIET EUMORS
New York, N. Y., Aug. 18. President
Lovett, of the Union and Southern Pa
cific railroads, authorized the follow
ing official statement late yesterday
afternoon:
"Ordinarily it is not the function of
a railroad executive to take cognizance
of stock market conditions and I am
specially averse to jt, but during the
last 10 days Union Pacific has been
singled out as the object of such an
extraordinary number of baseless ru
mors that it seems to me due our
stockholders, whom such storlea are
designed to disturb that I should state
that there are no dissensions whatever
in our board -of directors; that the
management from top to bottom is
perfectly harmonious; that a change In
the dividend rate has not been dis
cussed or in any way considered and
aside from some rearrangements of,
and additions to our organization as
I sometime ago recommended and
which in due time will be made no
action has been taken or is contem
plated out of the ordinary."

BUILDING A NEW
SCENIC HIGHWAY
Buns For Six and a Half
Miles Along the
Grand Canyon.
Grand Canyon, Ariz., Aug. 18. Al
new macadamized highway is being
constructed, along the Grand Canyon,
for six and one-half miles from what
Is known as Sunset Point to a con
nection with the El Tovar hotel and
other points of Interest along the rim
of the canyon, at a cost of $30,000.
When completed it .will stand as the
most wonderful scenic highway in the
world.
At present one can travel along the
rim of the canyon going west for but
two and a half miles; with the addi
tional six miles of new road the drive
will be a little less than 10 miles.
At the west end of the highway a
magnificent stone structure will be
erected as a "rest house;" a large
collection of curios, paintings and pho
tographs of the canyon will be avail
able. The road is being built along sci
entific plans to assure the best possi
ble results. An actual survey of the
road was made, and all parts, both
straight and curved, are laid out with
the aid of the transit. It is 12 feet
wide, covered with eight) inches of
macadam, sloping gradually to either
'side.
A force of 100 men. Including the
engineers, the men employed in the
stone crushing irtant and the laborers,
90 teams anjybutfits are employed.

RETURNED JO
PIONEERS
McGrinty Cannon to Be De
livered This Afternoon
to Pioneers
"Blue Whistler," the McGinty can
non, will be brought across the river
at 5 ocldck this evening by Brig.
Gen. Pascual Orozco and his staff and
will be formally returned to the cus
tody of the Pioneers' association at
the American side of the Santa Fe
street bridge. The Pioneers' associ
ation, Gen. Orozco and staff and
friends of the revolution in El Paso
"will then form an escort for the his
toric old piece and It will be taken
to the city hall park by way of Santa
Fe, El Paso and San Antonio streets.
It will be wheeled fnto position on
the identical spot where it stood the
night of March 16, when it was kid
naped and carried across the river for
the revolutionary army.
The cannon will be delivered to the
association by Gen. Orozco or his rep
resentative, who will make a short
speech in Spanish. Dr. I. J. Bush, one
of the kidnapers who todk the cannon
from city hall park, will speak, and
W. M. Coldwell, city attorney and
member of the Pioneers' association,,
will make the reply for the city and
association.
McGinty'a History.
Much has been written and related
about McGinty's qaj)J.y history how
it was used in the battle of Val Verde
in New Mexico dftirlng the civil war,
captured by Maj, Tell's Confederates,
burled at Albuquerque and dug- up 22
years ago and presented to the McGin
ty club after it had been left in a cel
lar in El Paso. Its later history is
even more familiar, for its kidnaping
from the city hall park on St. Patrick's
day in the morning by Dr. L J. Bush,
Ned Harper, Abe Molins and Dr. Frank
Thatcher and its trip down the valley
and later across the river for the rev
olutionary army formed the source of
much talk at the time of the capture
of the famous old fighting piece.
G. C. Jones, a former sergeant of the
Thirty-third Infantry and a member of
the Mexican insurrecto army, tells of
its history after it left El Paso for its
second baptism of fire with the revolu
tionary army.
Jones says it was taken across the
river at Fort Hancock after it had
been buried in a stable in El Paso for
manv days. It was first taken to Oji-
naga by a band of 135 revolutionary j
. recruits. 25 of whom were Americans,
T - -ri-,1. 1 I
under command or Antonio vuiareaj.
The first time the old cannon was
shot, according to the American sol
dier of fortune, was at Banderas, about
75 miles down the river from Juarez.
Cannon's First Use.
While the band which was escorting j
the cannon, with "Dynamite Slim" '
leading the American company, was "
encamped at Banderas, a foreigner
joined the party and said he had
walked from Juarez. He "was suspected
of being a spy and a heavy guard
placed over him to prevent his escap
ing during the first night he was in
camp. The man, who was thought to
have been sent by the federals to spy
on the revolutionists, succeeded in get
ting his hands loose and in getting
possession of two guns from two Mex
icans who were asleep in the same
house where he "was a prisoner. He
then shot two of the Mexicans and was
firing upon the guards outside when
old McGinty was unlimbered, wheeled
into position and fired for the first
time since the McGintles fired her to ,
celebrate the declaration of war with ,
Spain. The gun was loaded by Jones ,
with a can filled with scrap iron and '
the side of the house was blown away,
but the man was not killed. As soon
as it was daylight he was shot by one
of the men with a Mauser rifle.
Only Old Barrel Retunui.
McGinty was then taken to Ojinaga,
where it was fired twice during the
siege of that town by the revolution
ists. The. first shot demolished a
house where the federals were seeking
shelter and the second shot tore the
porthole of the breastworks away
and the cannon was out of commission.
It was then taken over the mountains
to Santa Rosalia, where It was shot a
number of times by the revolutionists,
although it bucked so bad when fired
that all the framework was destroyed.
The McGinty that is returned to El
Paso will be the same only In Its bar
rel. A pecan tailpiece was put in the
cannon at the T. O. ranch on the way
to Ojinaga, a new set of wheels were
added at Santa Rosalia and only the
barrel remains in its original form.
