Grain Production of the United statesl

If the Governments figures are re-
liable, the grain production of the
United States this year will realize
the most hopeful expectations, al
though not establishing new rec
ord. The indications are based on
present crop conditions, of yield of
705,526,0o0 bushels of wheat. The
record harvest-that of 1901-was
74S,46O,216 bushels. Last year the
harvest was estimated at $4,000, 900
bushels. This year Uncle Sam should
have according to his statisticians,
at least 10O,00O,O00 bushels of wheat
more than in 1904, and possibly $780,
100000 bushels. The outlook for
corn is equally encouraging. The
area planted in this cereal this year
is 94,O00,00O acres, the acreage being
approximately as great as it was in
1904, when the production was 2,4O7,-
100000 bushels. All signs indicate
bumper corn crop next fall.-Balti-

Text of Proposed Act.


Here are the provisions of this bill:
1882. Government.-The municipal
government of all Incorporated cities is
hereby vested in a mayor and a city
council, In cities of the first class and
in cities of the second class the city
council shall consist of five council
men, one from each ward and in cities
Of the third class of five councilmen
CHOSEN at large by the qualified electors
Of the city. In cities of the first class
the salaries of the councilmen shall be
fifteen hundred dollars each per annum,
and in cities of the second class the
salaries of such cOuncilmen shall be
twelve hundred dollars each per an
mum; and in cities of the third class
the salaries of the councilmen shall be
fixed by ordinance"
While this bill, if enacted by the leg
ls-ature, viii give each of the five MEM
bers of the council a salary of 81. 500
year, 1t is not considered likely that
ten of the fifteen who now constitute
tie law-making body of the city Will
want TO retire to private life. AS all of
the members would have to get out of
office, there would have TO be special
election at which the five to serve
would be chosen by the duly qualified
voters of Salt Lake City. and this
would necessitate going through an
other campaign imnlediate ly after the
passage of the act and its approval by
the governor. Should all the present
would get left at the post. And then
again, new men might be sprung or
spring themselves. and these might
walk away with the plums.
CounciImen May Approve Bill.
The other bill is said TO be more
likely to meet with councilmanic APP
prevail, for it does not affect their ten
ure of Office, although it aims to en-
large the powers of the mayor in the
matter Of making appointments. It's
provisions are:
Section THAT section PA of the
revised statutes of Utah 1898. as
amended by chapter 81 of the laws of
Utah of 1899, be, and the same is here
ty amended TO read as follows:
214-The mayor may appoint all ap-

provided by law; provided, that elective
officers shall nave the sole right to
