Nov let US see how the ginner
stands. First, he can gin, cover
and campress 500 pounds of lint
in eight minutes, using = good

press, and can do better with .
larger battery. This can be done
at cost not exceeding forty cents

costs him not less than $1.25, in
Guiding bagging and ties. In case
the ginner wants to buy and sell
cotton on his own account, most
of the railroads of the South will
allow him compress fees of eight
and one-half cents per hundred
weight, or forty two and one half
cents per bale. If he wants to sell
his cotton to the American Cot
ton Company, it allows him a
premium of 1926 per bale over
the value Of the same cotton III
square bales at his locality, thus
giving him $1.25 net after paying
royalty of twenty cents per hun
dredwelght for the use of the
press, maintenance Of the same

plant can be run with less labor
and less cost of Insurance than
the old system, and if cotton Is
stored, four times as much can be
placed In the same room.
There is no chance of mixing
bales or samples, owing to the
perfect system in use, and 40
chance of losing cotton by coun-
try damage, as water will not
penetrate the bale, owing to all
air being excluded in baling. The
street buyer, sampler and cotton
thief, owing to complete covering,
have no chance to get their 'au

cutting the covering under the
American Cotton Company's
sampling system.
"From a manufacturers stand

THE SEM|-F|NALS CONCLUDED
REV. ELLIS BISHOP AND FRANK
ROBERTS THE WINNERS.
These Two Play In the Finals To-
day-Doubles Tournament Begins
Cracks May Come Here.

A goodly crowd of tennis enthusiasts
saw the semi-finals in the Salt Lake
tournament yesterday afternoon on the
Deseret tennis clubs courts. To the
surprise of nearly all who have watched
the work of the two men, Rev. Ellis
Bishop defeated Carl Roberts in three
close and exciting sets. Frank Roberts
had little difficulty in beating Rodney
Badger in straight sets.
The first match was the most inter
esting OF the tournament. Carl Roberts
should have " on on his past form, and
he took the first set with comparative
ease by pretty net work and excellent
placing. The score was 6-3. The sec
ond set was the hottest of the tourna-
ment. After running the games up to
five all, Roberts won the next game to
love, and was twice within a single
point of winning the following game
and match. only to put the ball into the
net or out of court. Bishop made an
excellent rally, and with the score all
he won the following two games and
set, 81. The third set showed a decid-
ed deterioration in play on the part of
Roberts, and Bishop won it by we'll
placed strokes 6-3.
Rodney Badger was clearly outplayed
by Frank Roberts. In the first set, Rob-
easily, Badger exhibiting some nervous
ness and tendency to put the ball into
the net. Then Roberts let up somewhat
on his play and the fifth, seventh AMI
eighth games went to Badger. The
ninth was closely fought, but Roberts
won by superior work at the net and
careful placing. Score, 6-3.
The second set was marked by pretty
lobbing by Roberts. By this style of
play he wore out his opponent and won
without difficulty. 6-3.
The finals between MesSrS. Bishop
and Frank Roberts will take place at
4:30 this afternoon on the Deseret club
court just within the Eagle gate.
The entries in the double tournament
closed last evening and play will begin
this afternoon. The entries are Frank
Roberts and Carl Roberts, w. K. Con-
rad and Edwin Hills, Miss Bessie Kirk
patrick and j. F. Sharp, P. M. McGreg-
or and DIR. Plummer, D. B. Kimball and
Ralph Richards, Rev. Ellis Bishop and
Frank Krafts, Rodney Badger and
Hyde Young.
An attempt is being made to induce
the champion tennis team now playing
on the coast to stop in Salt Lake for an
exhibition before returning home. The
team includes NJ D. Whitman, national
champion of 1898 and 1899; Messrs.
Ward and Davis. champions in doubles,
and Beals Wright inter scholastic
champion of 1899. A visit from these
gentlemen would greatly stimulate in
terest in tennis in this city.

abb FOR DYNAM|T[R
All That Mcdonnell Needs Is a Few
Witnesses
PRISONER IS WORRIED
ABUSES PROSECUTION AND THE
STATES WITNESSES.
Says Biddlecome and Blowers Were
Intimidated and Peck Was Bribed
Prominent Attorney Went Down
to Consult Him-Thinks That He
May Possibly Be Convicted.

Mcdonnell, alias Smith, the alleged
dynamiter, still maintains that he can
prove an alibi if some generous citizen
will take the trouble to visit Diamond
and look up certain of his acquaint-
ances. The prisoner has no lawyer
to do this, being short of funds, and
though one, at least, has been to see
him, he is as far away from legal adj
vice as he was the day of his arrest.
Mcdonnell was talkative, as usual,
when seen at the county Jail last even
ing. When asked if he thought it was
not powerful showing the state made
against him at his preliminary exam
ination, he replied:
"Oh, yes, money and good dirty work
will do most anything. The state in
Inundated two witnesses, Biddlecome
and Blowers, by swearing out warrants
for them. I've no doubt they were
told that if they didn't come up with
evidence for the state the warrants
would be served. That, you know, is
an old, old trick.
why" continued Mcdonnell, Joe
Biddlecome could have sworn that he
saw me in Diamond so soon after noon
that day that it would have been i'm
possible for me to have been in Eureka
at the hour claimed by the prosecu-
ton. But I tell you he was thinking
of that warrant. It's plain case Of
intimidating witnesses.
LAS for Peck, he has been bribed.
There isn't line of truth in his testi-
mony, and good lawyer would tear
it all to pieces. Mrs. Burt, the old
lady, is simply mistaken. I don't be-
lieve she would do any 'rapping'-she' s
simply mistaken in the man."
Mcdonnell says that one prominent
attorney has been to consult with him,
but would not take his case because
there was not enough money in it.
When it was suggested that the court
would appoint an attorney for him,
Mcdonnell laughed and said: Eyes,
they'll appoint one to help convict me-
But there are men in Diamond who saw
me the same time Biddlecome did. If
had some one to look them up / could
prove an alibi. Biddlecome's afraid to
speak the truth"
well, do you expect to be acquit-
ted?" was asked.
"Oh, don't know. The states dirty
work might fix me. See how they tried
to humiliate me before the. public by
bringing up this clothes proposition.
Why, that was the dirtiest play I ever
heard off,
Mcdonnell, in spite of his outward
bravado, is much worried over his po-
sition. He eats less than has been his
custom, and has been under the weather
for a few days. He is anxious to have
his trial set.

CONSERVING WATER SUPPLY
PIPE SYSTEM FOR sUNNYsIDE
e1 AND wHITMoREs RANCH.
Surplus Water For Irrigating Fertile
Dry Lands In Sanpete County
Will Be Reservoired.

A contract was let in this city yes
terday to the Trent Engineering & Ma
chinery company fer the construction
of a pipe line to convey the waters of
a spring in Whitmore canyon to the
big ranch owned by George c. Whit
more, the Nephi banker Primarily,
the purpose is to supply the ranch with
water at all seasons. Every summer
seepage and evaporation tend to make
the flow so small in the natural cham
mel and open ditch that the ranch has
suffered for adequate supply of water
The construction of storage tanks for
service in connection with the pipe line
will enable the conservation of the sup
ply for other uses, which will doubtless
be source OF financial profit to Mr..
Whitmpre.
The pipe line will pass through the
Rio Grande Westerns new coal mining
town near Sunnyslde, and the inhabit-
ants will find it necessary to derive
their supply of water from Mr.. Whit
more's system. A larger flow can be
developed from Mr.. WhitmCre's spring
and an auxiliary system for the new
towns supply will probably be put in.
According to plans and specifications
prepared by o. r. Young, the well
known engineer, the pipe line will be
three miles in length, with a head of 800
feet. The first 1000 feet will be laid
with Ogden vitrified sewer pipe and
the remaining $500 feet will be of six
inch steel tubing.
Trenching for the new waterworks
system will commence at once, and
pipe will be laid as soon as the material
arrives on the ground.
Irrigation Projects.
Engineer Young is making surveys
for two other important undertakings
that will tend to increase the agricul-
tural area in Sanpete county. For the
Gunnison High Line and Reservoir
company a project is forming to erect
a dam thirty-five feet high at the out
let of natural depression through
which runs Nine mile creek, tribu-
tary to the San Pitch river. This will
impound sufficient surplus water to ir-
rigate 1000 acres of fertile bench land
admirably adapted to the culture of
SUGAR beets.
The other enterprise will require the
erection of a dam forty feet high in a
hollow in the foothills along Cedar
creek, back of Mount Pleasant In this
will be resevvoired surplus water to
irrigate from 900 to 1000 acres of fer
tile dry land.
Much of the work on these two pro-
jects will be done this winter By land
owners, who count their labor at moth
ing, and the hope is entertained that
the reservoirs will be completed for use
next season.

success.
Mr. Walker invested a large amount
of money in the fitting up of his ball
park, and the returns were not satisfac-
tory, so he hit upon this idea as not
only a means of insuring safe returns,
but also as productive of good baseball

OGDEN TAKES UP FOOTBALL
MUCH INTEREST IN GAME IN
JUNCTION CITY.
Money Offered to Start Team Off
Game Arranged With Y. M. G. A.
Lineup of Eleven.
Especial Correspondence


Ogden, Sept 6.-The football season
is on in Ogden. The organization of
the team for this season has COM
menced, and already a dozen brawny
athletes have been indicated by w. S..
Beckwith-he of the famous Grinnell,
Phillip Exeter and Northwestern elev-
ens-to take positions on the team. The
plan as outlined in Mondays Herald is
receiving the hearty approval of all
lovers of the game, and the crganiza-
ton is assured. Financial support will
be forthcoming. Today w. c.. Weaver
of the street car company offered to
start list with SIS subscription, but
the boys will not take nor ask any
money until they have demonstrated
that self-supporting and creditable
team can be put in the field.
Today Mr.. Beckwith received a letter
from Manager John T. Axton of the
Salt Lake Y M. C. A. team, suggesting
a game to take place at Salt Lake dur
ing conference week, either Oct 6 or z.
The challenge will, without doubt, be
accepted, and it will probably be the
opening game of the season. A game
is in prospect also with the Washburn
college eleven of Topeka, Kan, which
plays in Salt Lake on Oct. %.
The men picked out thus far by Beck
with for the Ogden team, with their re-
spective weights, are: Seibertz, 1856;
Hansford, 100; Thompson, 1870; Henry,
100; McGregor, 100; Scudder, 165; My
ers, 166; Bluth, 155; Porter, 10; Adney,
19O
Of the above named players, Henry
and Scudder are well known for their
work with the High school team in
years past Hansford. Henry, McGreg-
or and Bluth are doughty members Of
the ball nine. Hansford is slated for
halfback and Henry for center rush.
Adney is assistant manager of the
street car system and is a fine player
Myers and Porter are all right and
SeibertZ has played some.
