Saturday with Mrs. Rockhin for San
Francisco. This Will enable him to reach
San Francisco in time to take the Japan

Yokohama and Nagasaki on the third Of

morning to believe that his task has been
made much more difficult by the develop

of China into a regularly established
state of war with the powers. He is
chary about accepting without full con-

hands of the notorious viceroy at Shan
Tung, Yuan Shih Kai, who is we'll known

that war.

ELECTIONS.
A careful perusal Of the following laws
win make it easy for the election oml.
GERS, as well as the voters, to comply
with their provisions. nor does the ballot
law need much explanation as we have
held four elections under its provisions
and but few changes have been made in
it since its enactment These changes
are. however, very important ones and
are briefly stated as follows:
No. l. The ballots have no small
squares opposite the names Of the can.
didates, but one large square enclos-
ing the name and the device at the
head of each party ticket.
No. 2. The clerk Of the peace now
folds all ballots before delivering them

less difficult for the voter TO comply with
the law in folding his ballot.
No. 8. The initials OF the clerks OF
NANNA4NiA9 are lAdSeu On the udck OF the
ballot as folded and as near tho middle
thereof as possible.
No. 4. There is no voters assistant.

Rye as a Hay Crop.

ne more our ranchmen grow rye
tor hay, themore Il is demonstrated
that 1t is the one crop that yields
Aeaviest and is proof against the at
lacks of the Squirrels.
Henry Hoff had never had much
faith ia rye but last year ne put in
seven acres as anexperiment. This
year on June LIST he cut 10 big loads
from the piece. On July 9TH he cut
q load to the acre more from parto
tae saane piece, leaving the rest for
seed, and at the present time he says
Nc could cut another load to the
acre, from the part that has already
been cut twice. The yield this year
has therefore run at least three tons
ct hay to the acre. The hay, when
cut at the tight time, makes one Of
Tie best to feed that is grown in
Scar Lake or anywhere else. Stock
eat it in preference to timothy or
lucern. 1t has all the good points
OF the former grass and is better
food for horses to work on than the
latter hay. Mr.. Hoff was 50 well
pleased with his first trial that he
put ~ 20 acres this year and expects
10 pat III more next season
M. Hoff says it will stand all
kinds Of dry weather, and frost
does not iniure it. The last cut
ting is as good for feed as the first.
and he thinks it is the coming hay
Of the valley. Judging by what
we know of it rye is destined to be
a big factor in Bear Lakes future
as a stock growing and feeding sec
tion.

J. S. BARRETT,
Nominee for Auditor.
The Deal is Arranged.

He OGdl Is AFEnuSCUs
X I. Perky, Chairman OF the
democratic state central committee,
passed through town Wednesday
en- route home from Chicago. lie
said the basis of agreement be-
tween the democrats and popullsts
had been agreed upon. It was for
the democrats to Withdraw their
nominee for congressman, auditor,
mining Inspector and j. w. Read
for presidential elector. The popu-
list were to submit their nominees
for these positions, except elector,
and take down the rest of their
ticket. Mr.. Reid is understood to
be Objectionable to Senator Heit-
felt, and he wants another demo
crat put on in his place.
1t now remains to be seen wheth-
%, or not the nominees will accept
this new order. Mr.. Barrett, has
an q letter to the Salt Lake Herald,
stated that he could not at present
see any reason for Withdrawing, but
we understand he will not he obsti-
nate, If he can be shown that bulk
of the democrats think it best that
he come down.
There are several things to be
considered in the proposed arrange
ment. The taking off Of Jim era
ham deprlves the north Of being
represented on the ticket for any
Important office.
Then there is the propositions to
take down jim Reid, to please Sen
ator Heitfelt, which may not meet
with favor.
On the ether hand, if a CONSOLE
datlon IS affected, Thos. L. Glenn
wall poll more votes than Graham
could, for be would bring all the
populist strength to the ticket and
all the democratic votes, too. lie
is the least Objectionable to the
democrats Of any popul,st on their
ticket, while his own party will sup
port him to q man. The votes that
Mr.. Glenn would bring to the tick
ct for himself would, in large
measure, be cast for all nominees
on the joint ticket, thus insuring
its election.
We believe the consolidation will
be effected, especially if the.demand
as to Mr. Reid be withdrawn, which
it ought to be. Those who come
of the ticket will lose nothing it
may be safely assumed.

If his party friends are trying tc turn

that is their matter. The anti-Brown-
