KILLING OF DEER.
Warden Sharp Discredits Recent Re
ports From Vernal.

Recent reports from VernaI are 20
the effect that the Indians are engag-
ing in the indiscriminate slaughter Of
deer on Diamond mountain, in the
northeast corner of Utah. State Game
Warden Sharp is inclined TO doubt the
accuracy of the report. e.
In support of his contention that n
wholesale killing of deer at this season
of the year is almost impossible, War
den Sharp, himself a veteran hunter
of big game, stated that in the sum-
mer time the animals do not flock to-
gether. The bucks go high up and into
almost secluded places to cure their
horns. and the does remain behind to
care for their fawns. Not until the
leaves commence to fall do the deer
begin TO run in bands, and if any OF
them are killed before the latter part
of September ii is by a chance shot.
rather than from design.
Warden Sharp is Of the opinion that
Indians. by force of natural conditions.
are not successful in killing deer dur
ing the summer months. but in order
to make the law against the slaughter
for hides at any time Of the year more
effectual. he believes the Legislature
should provide punishment for having
in possession or offering to sell deer
skins.

Threatened Increase of Salt Lake
County Assessment.
STATE BOARD MAY ACT
HOLD CONFERENCE WITH COM.
MIssIoNERs TODAY.
State Board Usually Raises the Salt
Lake Assessments, No Matter How
High They Are Placed-Commis-
sloners Contend Assessments Are
High Enough.

IL the state board of equalization does
not increase the assessments on Sail
Lake real estate or some other CLASSES
OF property it will be a rare occurrence
indeed. AS matter of fact, the ordi-
nary taxpayer fails to remember the
year when the state equalizers did not
pocst salt Lake City's tax valuations
no matter how high they were placed
sioners
mat the state board is bent on rails
ing the assessed and equalized value Of
rSdI estate IN Salt Lake is evident from
the defensive attitude of the county
commissioners. Members of the state
board admit they have partially con-
sluered the propriety of ordering a
raise on Salt Lake realty values. but
the per cent of increase has not been
determined, nor can it be. they saw
until ali the counties report their total
valuations. If it is deemed that this
countys aggregate is lower in proper
tlon TO the other counties, a raise will
De ordered, so the county commission
ers are Informed, that will bring the
grand total up TO at least last years
figures.
The pretext of the state board for its
threatened action against Salt Lake is
that this county must return enough
values to yield an equitable portion Of
tax revenues needed for the state funds.
For the purpose of giving opnortuni-
" to demonstrate that the taxing value
OF all classes of property in Salt Lake
are sufficiently high already, compared
with value of like property in other
counties, the state equalizers will meet
with the county commissioners this
afternoon. The county commissioners
VIII undertake to show that any in
crease in the value of real estate, as
sessed at 1880, 600; of improvements
at $S,IO9,OOO, or in the assessment of
merchandise and trade fixtures, at 81
10000, would be unjust and impose an
unequal burden ON Salt Lake taxpay-
erS.
The favorite method of the state
board is to add per cent to real estate
values, and if this is done it will add
S926,5OO to the assessment roll and make
this years total little larger than the
aggregate of 1898. Ninety per cent of
the added burden would fall upon Salt
Lake City taxpayers.

GREATEST HERO At SANTIAGO
QUESTION SETTLED AT EP-
WORTH LEAGUE SOCIAL.
g Man Behind the Guns" Given Credit
For the Victory-Unique Enter
tainment at Methodist Church.

| Young people of the Epworth League
Of the First Methodist church and a
number of their friends enjoyed a San
tiago social in the church parlors last
| night. Tiny flags were presented to each
guest. on the front of which was
printed the first letter of one of the
ships Of the Santiago fleet The other
side showed second letter, and these
we're arranged in groups, representing
different ships in the fleet. A captain of
each group was chosen, and to these
officers the question, who was the
greatest hero in the Santiago cam
paign?" was put.
Wilbur Rowland, whose answer was
considered the best, was made master
of ceremonies for the occasion. His re-
ply to the question was: THE man be-
hind the guns. Because if il hadn't
been for them the victory never would
have been WON
DR.. Henry's reply, which was con-
sidered almost equally good by the
judges. follows: Captain Clark of the
Oregon, because he sailed l.. 900 miles
in order TO be present at the fight. and
brought from the other side of the
globe the inspiration that led to the
winning Of the greatest naval battle in
history"
A short patriotic programme was
then enjoyed. Miss Lizzie Davis and
Miss Florence La Due contributed sew
eral musical numbers. and Miss Eva
Dix recited independence Day" An
address on the volunteers of the recent
war was given by R. V. Smith, and
was very much enjoyed.
The programme was concluded with
4 solo by Wesley Davis. Refreshments
were served during the evening, and a
delightful time spent by the young peo-

Entertainment at the Grand Theatre
In Honor of Bishop Scanlan-Pro-
ceeds Go to Sunday School.

The juvenile musicale by the chill
dren's choir of St Mary's cathedral
given last night at the Grand theatre
in honor of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Scan
Ian was a very successful affair from
an artistic as well as a financial stand
point. A large audience, considering
the condition of the weather, listened
TO the programme, which was carried
out from beginning 10 end without i
hitch. Several hundred tickets were
sold and the proceeds will be used for
the benefit of the St Mary's Sunday
school.
The success of the affair is largely
due TO the able efforts of Miss Nora
Gleason, who had the programme in
charge. Miss Gleason was me accom-
PIANIST for the entire programme, and
showed considerable talent in the way
she handled the children.
Miss Katherine O'Brien babe Bishop

NIELSEN ENUMERATED.
Logan Council Says Charges Against
Him Were Without Foundation.
Especial CORRESPONDENCE

Il
Logan. July THE city council
spent four hours last night in investi-
/ eating charges of doubled dealing pre-
ferred against Councilman y. p. Mel
sen of the First ward, by OlOf l. Peter
sen. an unsuccessful candidate for the
council at the last city election. Peter
sen had absolutely no real proof to
offer in support of his charges, but in
troduced lot of tommy-rOt about what
he inferred from remarks made by the
accused councilman. \ lot of witnesses
were examined. and at the conclusion
of the testimony the council, weary and
disguised. very quickly returned a
unanimous verdict of mo cause of ac-
ton"
Petersen employed Attorney Walters
to present his case, and City Attorney
Keeter defended Nielsen. The specific
charges were that Nielsen knowing
that Petersen had bid $3.50 for a piece
of city property. acquainted cOmpeti-
tor with the. amount of the bid. there
by enabling the latter TO obtain the
land for $151. Also that Nielsen had
advised another purchaser of city land
to not bid more than $27S for it, when
as a matter Of fact the man bid 1925,
and last night emphatically denied
talking with Nielsen about the land ex-
cept when in company with Council
man Gates. Nielsen is a Democrat.
Petersen a Republican, and politics is
doubtless at the bottom of the trouble.
