AN ELK FARM.

The Green River Star says: A car-
load of young elk was the chief at
traction at the stock yards last week.
The animals were the property OF d.
L. Friend, and had been captured by
that gentleman in Jackson's Hole in
the spring and summer. They were en-
route to Martinsville, Harrison county.
Mo, where Mr.. Friend recently pur-
chased a farm and where he proposes
to enter into the elk raising business.
In the car were twelve yearling elk and
four calves, three antelope, a deer and
two saddle ponies. The animals were
loaded at Idaho Falls, having been
brought there in wagons from the Hole
Mr.. Friends method Of capturing them
was somewhat novel and by all hunt
ers would be considered the acme OF
rare sport. First locating a herd in
which there were young elk, Mr..
Friend would stealthily slip around
the mountain side above them and.
mounted upon snow shoes, he would
slide suddenly down and into the herd
and out of their number usually Sc
cured a calf or yearling. Mr.. Friend
formerly lived en- the Laramie plains
and thinks elk raising can be mada
more profitable than cattle raising.

New Mode of Inspection.

During the past week 2. II. Dudley's
dynagraph car, which fairly bristles
with sensitive instruments to detect
any defect in track, has been going
over the track Of the New York Cen
trail. Mr.. Dudley is accompanied on
the trip by tWenty-SeVe.. roadmaSters
OF the New York Central lines, and the
Tip will require ten days. The princi-
pal instrument is the dynagraph.
through which rolls q continuous sheet
Of heavy paper, and upon which a
dozen or more pens trace in red ink
lines which show every possible var
iation Of the track as the car rolls over
the road. The simple passage of the
car over rail joint is shown by a V
shaped variation OF the ines from A
quarter to half an inch deep. One pair
Of pens shows the Slight depressions
as at joints; another pair shows the
variation of distance between the rails
another marks the rail length. another
shows the comparative height Of the
parallel rails. On q curve. for instance
where the outside rail is higher. a con-
siderable variation is shown. On each
side of the car is a device which throws
a dab of blue paint against the side
sion of 3-32ds of an inch This paint
enables the section foreman to see the
detect and repair it at once
The usual speed at which this car is
run is twenty miles an hour. Several
weeks are required to summarize re-
suits in detail Of these trips, but when
the work is done a roadmaster readily
ascertains where there is any imper-
lection in track and can at once rem
edy it. 1t is stated that where the 100
pounds to the yard rail is laid the var
iations of the dynagraph line are very
slight, but where the lighter rail is
laid the line is full of waves and
notches.

ARBITRATOR KERN'S VIEW.
thinks j. w. Farrell 81 Co. Should
Be Paid.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 20, 1895.
To the Editor of The Herald:
The remarks made by the president
of the city council at last nights ses-
sion in relation to the claim of J. w.
Farrell and company, regarding the
award made by the arbitrators for the
electric wiring of the joint city and
county building were entirely uncalled
for
j. W. Farrell and company appointed
me as their arbitrator, the city and
county appointed Mr. ]. G. Midgley,
we two left it in the hands of the pro-
bate judge to appoint the third man,
because we could not agree between
us who the third party should be.
I made it my special duty to look
into the claim of J. w. Farrell and
company regarding the electric wiring
of the joint city and county building
and have done SO and my explanation
regarding the itenized statement
which we have rendered, I am willing
to make at amy time to the president
or to any member of the council
I have only found a few members of
the council who inquire into the facts,
and if the president in his judgment
Of the composition of the arbitrators,
had first Investigated the matter, he
WOULD nave Deem DeCter informed and
would not have wasted his remarks
before knowing anything about the
facts in the case. He had the oppor-
tunity after voting once in favor of
the report of the committee, eight days
ago to inquire into the particulars.
1 respectfully ask the honorable
president and the council to look into
the itemized statement of the arbitra-
tors, and to explain to the taxpayers
if J. w. Farrell and company is not
only entitled to the amount awarded,
but also to the interest on the amount,
unjustly Withheld from the contractors
by the architect and the joint city and
county committee.
I only regret that the president of the
council was not better informed before
making such uncalled for assertions
against the arbitrators, and 1 believe
THAT the mistake made by not paying
J. w. Farrell and, company the amount
recommended by the board of aq,bItra-
tors and the committee will prove to
the president that the taxpayers of
Salt Lake county hereafter must not
only pay the amount of $6066.42, but in
addition will be compelled to pay the
interest on that amount from the 18th
day of December, 1893, to date
Respectfully,
