Senator Heitfeld viii be chosen his

in his own right, and he has made
a combination with Governor Hunt. If,

be successful, il is different 10 predict
their choice for United States senator.
II Is true that former Senator George

pie of Idaho. irrespective of party, but
il is by no means certain that he would
get a majority of the legislature. should
he enter the race. There is a feeling
that a younger man should be chosen,
and the ablest young man in the state
on the Republican side-Mr. Borah Of
Boise. who is considered irst-class
senatorial timber--is regarded by many
politicians as having the inside track
over all aspirants."
The Idaho sentiment in favor of
younger men in the United States SEN
ate has not been altogether absent
from the senate chamber itself. Men
who have sat in that venerable body
for several terms are lOudest in favor

including himself. will add no great
weight 10 this piece of written testi-
mony left behind. There may be
other strong evidence involving these

1t is apparent that BarthOlin and

bert Richter, whose residence is in
Salt Lake, and he came to ogden to-
day in response 10 a telegram, and
spent the time looking up the subject

NEW SCHEME MATCHING
Government Experts May Make
Another attempt to Raise
Fish in Salt Lake.
Special to The Herald.)


Washington. Sept. 7.-Uncle Sam is
again scheming TO turn to profitable
use the Great Salt lake. Just what he
intends to do this time is not known.
but he is still rather sore over his
failure with the shell fish. IL will be
remembered how, a few years ago. the
governments fish experts collected the
finest and healthiest clans, oysters
and crabs, placed them in big tanks
made for transporting fish and shipped
them inland TO Salt Lake on cars made
for that purpose. These cars are full
OF ingenious appliances 10 keep the
fish alive. even though they may be
taken clear across the continent. The
water is kept running through the
tanks in steady streams BY pumps.
There are ice coils to keep the water
cold and steam pipes 10 warm it. ac-
cOrdlng to the needs of the particular
fish that is being shipped. Thus snap
pers and other tropical FISH can be
taken from their home In the gulf
stream and carried 10 Lower Califor-
MIA. Mountain trout are in this way
taken from the cold little rivers of the
northeast and carried through the hot
test part of the country without harm
ing them.
Travelling at their ease in such a
luxurious car. Uncle Sans oysters and
clans arrived in the vicinity of the
Great Salt lake and there was every
reason to believe that they would do
very well in the big inland sea. They
were placed carefully in the tiny
coves and bays near the mouths Of
the streams that flow into the lake
so as 10 avoid the extremely briny
water, but all the creatures died.
The government experts had expect
ed such an ending TO the experiment,
but were sincerely grieved that moth
ing came of the effort. Heads are
being put together again. and an an
nouncement TO the effect that a new
experiment Is imminent is ANTICIPATED.
