From All Parts of UTAH © Salt Lake.—The assessed valuation of the state of Utah for 1922, making allowances for the changes ordered by the state board of equalization, is $635,696,064. On this total the board has fixed a state tax levy of 7.1 mills, as compared with 6.9 mills for last year. The state tax levy is made up of 2.4 mills for the state general fund purposes, .2 of a mill for high school purposes, and 4.5 mills for district school purposes. These rates are the maximum allowed by the legislature of 1921. They are the same as pre vailed last year, except that the state general fund levy was then 2.2 mills. By classes of property there were increases as follows: $654,478 on grazing lands, $52,661 on range cattle, $99,359 on other cattle, $5,299 on sheep other than range sheep and $78,125 on the. valuation of banks.

Both requests were granted by the commissioners. Wreck Is Attributed to Failure of En: gineer to Heed Signal; Work of Removing Dead and Injured Is Gruesome Task Sulphur Springs, Mo.—Failure of an engineer to heed a block signal caused the rear-end collision on the Missouri Pacific Saturday night in which thirty-six persons were killed and about 138 injured, twenty-five seriously, according to John Cannon, assistant gen" eral manager of the road. Train No. 4, a fast passenger, ves- tibuled, steel train running at full speed, crashed into No. 32, a local composed of five wooden day coaches a baggage and an express car, as the engine was taking on water with the coaches stretching back on a trestle over Glaise Creek. i The impact hurled two of the local coaches down a fifty-foot embankment edging the Mississippi and tele scoped four other coaches, crushing a number of the passengers to death in their falls. Both trains were running behind time and the fast passenger, running from Fort Worth, Yexas, to St. Louis, carried 180 passengers and the local 100 persons. According to Mr. Cannon, Matt G. Glenn of St. Louis, engineer of the fast passenger, failed to heed a block signal warning him that the track was not clear ahead. Glenn, 57 years of age, an engineer for thirty-seven years without a black mark against his record, was killed when he jumped from ithe cab just before the crash. Edward Tinsley, also of St. Louis, fireman of No. 4, remained at his post and was injured seriously. Engineer Gleen shortly before arriving in Sulphur Springs received orders “on the run” to pull over on a siding at Cliff Cave, ten miles north of here, to allow “Sunshine Special No. 1,” en route from St. Louis to Texas points, to pass, and’ Mr. Cannon explained the engineer failed to heed the block signal because he apparently was reading these orders when he passed the block Just south of the scene of the disaster there is a curve in the road, which cut off view of the local train on the trestle. Missouri Pacific officials, however, emphasized that the block signals were operating in perfect order, and Engineer Glenn should have slowed ‘his train down so that he could have come to a halt almost instantly. The last body was removed from the debris early Sunday. <A group of rescuers, kerosene’ torches lighting their way, came down the track to the little railroad station with the inert figure on a litter, improvised from boards of the splintered wreckage, The railroad tracks-parallel the Mississippi river and the trestle on which the disaster occurred spans Glaise Creek where it enters the river. As a result, a report ‘was current that a number of bodies were hurled into the Mississippi. There was no way of verifying this report, however. Rescue work was interferred with by lack of proper light. This little village is without electricity, and the rescue workers and morbidly curious made their way among the mass of twisted steel and crumbmled wooden coaches by the aid of kerosene torches and lights on sticks. Thousands of persons visited here late Sunday night to view the wreck and roads were blocked for a radius of three miles. Dr. Hull, who was among the first at the wreck, told the Assoociated Press that bodies of dead were found 300 feet from the scene of the accident. Ome body was buried waist’ deep in a bog. Dr. George A. Elders, coroner of Jefferson county, said a thorough investigation of the accident would be made, 3 This Week to Tell Strike Story Washington.—Unless the ¢oming week brings substantial improvement in the coal and rail situations the administration is expected to move promptly along the foNowing lines: Coal strike—Take over the large key -| mines in the unionized bituminous fields, place them under heavy miliProvo.—It is reported that Utah tary guard ,as a precaution against County ships each year 1000 cars of disorder and call upon the miners, peaches, 500 cars apples, 100 cars whether union or non-union, to repears, 100 cars cherries, 100 cars prunes, 500 cars potatoes, fifty cars turn -to work as employees of the goystrawberries, 800,000 gallons of liquid ernment pending the settlement of milk, fifty cars onions, fifty cars oththe strike.
