Doom Is Sealed.

Fl. +. Hunt. a prominent undertaken

city attending the course of lectures
for his profession, is of the opinion
that the Democratic ticket in his State
will be victorious this year. He de-
clares that thousands of Republicans
Of Idaho have reached the conclusion
that it is time to throw off the yoke Of
the church, which Governor Gooding
so subsequently bears. and that IN
his opinion Judge Stockslager will be
the next occupant of the executive
chair,
Mr.. Hunt is much pleased with the
growth of the American spirit In Salt

and af1irms his conviction that, with
the menace of the hierarchy removed.
both States will experience long years
of unexampled prosperity.
While realizing that the fight in
Idaho this year is both bitter and
close. hc believes that the good judg-
ment and patriotism of the citizens

PURE Milk FURNISHED
TO CITIZENS OF zion
Analysis of Twenty Samples
Taken From Various Diaries
Show Up SplendidIy.

"Salt Lake City has milk supply
that we can be proud Of, and there
are probably few cities in the United
States in which the tests Will average
as high as they do here This state
ment was made by Herman Harms,
city chemist, TO a representative Of
The Tribune Friday afternoon.
On Thursday Mr. Harms had sub
mitted a report Of tests Just completed
on twenty-five samples of milk taken
promiscuously from the various milk
wagons which the city Food Inspector
report looked so good that The Tribune
desired TO get an expression in regard
to the test from Mr.. Harms.
Mr.. Harms also stated that in most
every case the milk had been found
to be clean and free from any foreign
odor He then went back over the
reports for several months and showed
that the tests had proven that nearly
all of the milk put on the market in
Salt Lake is running above the stand
ard in the amount Of butter fats and
solids contained.
Milk, TO be up TO the standard must
contain 3 per cent of butter fats and
nine per cent of solids, other thar
butter fats. OF the twenty-five samples
in the last test not ono ran below
per cent in the amount of butter
fats. and some of them ran as higl
as 53 per cent.
In the total per cent of solids con
tanned all Of the samples were up tc
the standard of lo per cent, while som'
ran considerably over II per cent.

TO NATIONAL CAPITAL
Salt Laker TO Assume Charge of
John Sherman Estate
Company.

Hoyt Sherman has accepted the tenn
porary management of the affairs of
the John Sherman Estate company. the
duties of which viii take him to Wash

properties, owns a large tract of un-
improved residence property on Colum-
bia Heights, a rapidly growing section
Of the capital city, Considerable
money has already been expended, and
more will have to be paid out in the
way of grading, street paving, etc, In
order TO improve the property and put
il in marketable shape. The plan of
improvement also contemplates the
possible erection of tenement and
apartment houses on that portion of
the tract TO be held by the company
as permanent investment.
The expenditure of such large sum
and the general care of the property
required the presence in Washington of
some one of the heirs, and Mr. Sher-
man will undertake the work. Neither
he nor the other members of his family
take very kindly 10 even a temporary
absence from Salt Lake, where they
have resided for twenty-one years, but
Mr.. Sherman estimates that at most il
viii not require over two years to put
things into ship-shape, after which he
and his family expect to return TO Salt
Lake.

COLDER WEATHER NOW
ON WAY TO SALT LAKE
Freezing Temperatures Prevail
Over Ohio Valley and
the East.

The weather situation for this dis
trict has so changed within the past
thirty-six hours as 10 render the pre-
vailiug conditions entirely different
from what they were Friday. The
low which hung for so long in the
extreme southwest combined with the
one which formed In the extreme north
west and which moved eastward
slightly. made trough of low pres
sure which extends from Prince Albert
slightly southwestward TO San Diego,
touching Salt Lake on the west and
Dodge on the east. This field Of dis
turbance gave this section light show
ers. which are but the forerunners of
a much colder spell than the city has
experienced yet this year. This is due
TO a high of great activity and inten-
sity in the northwest, and which is
rapidly increasing its area of infu-
encc. 1t will have the effect of either
driving the low field before 1T to the
eastward, or of separating the northern
and southern lows and thus attacking
their influence over this immediate sec
tion. This is what is predicted, and
will no doubt come to pass by this
evening. Today will be fair and cooler,
with perhaps some very slight clear
ing showers,
Frost and freezing temperatures
prevailed over the Ohio valley and
Eastern States as far south as Ten
nessee, but there were no rains of any
great consequence recorded at any
point in the United States.

OF men well known in American circles
were called upon and responded with

of the suggestions of organized labor
