damage in this vicinity. The Utah County

NORRIS BROWN NOMINATED
REPUBLICANS PUT UP SHELDON
FOR GOVERNOR.

Lincoln Aug. 22.-Beginning at o'clock
this afternoon, with a brief recess for
supper, the Republican state convention
at II o'clock tonight had neither com
pleted its ticket nor adopted a platform.
The two chief places on the ticket were
filled at the afternoon session by the
nomination OF Attorney General Norris
Brown for United States senator and
State Senator George L. SHELDON for gov
ernor.
Melville r. Hopewell was nominated for
lieutenant governor at the night session.
After the temporary organization hda
been made permanent the convention
voiced its disapproval of the platform
drafted by committee appointed in adj
lions was selected.
Battle for Senator.
The following were placed IN nomina-
ton for United States seGtOr: Norris
Brown Of Buffalo county, Edward Rose

Platte. The result of the first ballot
was: Brown, 401; Rosewater. 2791k; Currie,
80; Willard, 4615; Meiklejohn, 81; Crounse,
16: Evans. 2l Mickey l. The vote for
Governor Mickey was cast by Cumming
county.
Brown gained four votes on the second
ballot, but fell to 400 on the third. and
his supporters, who had counted conf
IDENTIFY on his nomination on the second
ballot, displayed alarm.
Stampede Failed.
The fourth ballot showed a gain of five
for Brown and a greater gain for Rose
water. There was a mild attempt al a
stampede for Currie, but it failed. Brown
gained two more on the fifth.
Attention was called to the fact that
three counties were unrepresented or not
voting. but the chair, in the face Of
protest ruled that it required 429 votes
TO nominate an actual majority of the
delegates entitled TO seats in the cOnven-
ton. The excitement, which had been
great, became intense at the beginning
of the sixth ballot. There was practically

Vention and made addresses, which were
applauded.
A motion to adjourn was promptly voted
down and candidates for governor WeEe
placed in nomination. With the selection
of Norris Brown for senator il was al
most a foregone conclusion that State
Senator George l.. Sheldon would be the
choice for governor. He was nominated
on the second ballot and the convention
took recess.

OPENING TALK
OF THE DEFENSE

sci for the defense in the trial of State
Senator Mays. ex-Representative Jones

dressed the jury in the United States cir
cult court in his opening statement, and
during that address the name of the late
Senator Mitchell was dragged once again
within the portals of the federal court on
a question of his guilt or innocence. Mr.
FentOns allusion 10 the fate Of the dead
senator aroused Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Heney TO a declaration that IL coun-
sci for the defense insisted on talking on
the Mitchell case he too, would make an
argument on 1t to the jury and tell them
some things Mr.. Fenton had not begun
TO tell. The government prosecutor de-
clared that the allusion 10 Mitchell was
merely play to arouse sympathy with
the jury and objected to it, When
heated discussion appeared imminent
Judge Hunt interfered and directed Mr.
Fenton 10 refrain from further talk about
the Mitchell case.
Mr.. Fenton's argument to the jury set
out as its principal feature the position
that the defendants on trial have done
nothing wrong. Whatever they did do

PRODUCTION and was one of the first per

to the alleged abuses in connection
with the meat packing industry.
The most important factor of all in
bringing the movement for regulation

Sinclair, entitled 1.-The Jungle" Like
Uncle Toms Cabin" which did so
much to bring about the downfall Of
slavery in this country, and like down
With Arms" which led to the calling
Of The Hague peace conference. "The
Jungle" was written with the view of
bringing about a great reform. Its au-
thor was moved to indignation by the
conditions he witnessed in an investiga-
ton of the Packingtown district of Chi
cago, and under the guise of fiction he
described q state of affairs in the pack

fluence should be used to rectify the
alleged abuses If they existed as de-

portant of which was that conducted

Dor commissioner. and James Bronson
Reynolds, the settlement worker. Their

the evils of the industry was so strong
that Doubleday, Page G. Co.. before

Chicago to Investigate the situation de-

authors picture, and the story was
then given TO the world.

Growing chestnuts for the nuts is an
entirely different proposition from
growing chestnuts for timber. To bear
nuts the trees must be exposed TO the
air and sun on all sides. This requires
low heading and broad spreading
branches as nearly the shape of an APP
pie tree as possible. To grow timber
we do not want side branches. but try
to crowd the trees and have each one
vie with its neighbor in height. The
extreme top of these dense forest trees
are the only parts which bear nuts.
We have had experience with most
all the vicissitudes TO which the chest

M into prominence with Il sud
~ denness almost startling, and
so completely has it absorbed
public attention for the time being that
the rate bill, for weeks in the very
forefront at Washington. seems TO
have been forgotten. The rate bill
represents a movement TO control rail
road freight rates in the interest of
shippers and the general public. The
Beveridge meat inspection bill repre-
SCENTS an effort to safeguard the public
health in respect 10 one of the greatest
Industries of the country-that OF the

proper restraints about the methods
pursued in the operation of the in
dustry and to improve the conditions
under which the work is carried on.
The honor of introducing the meat in

senior senator from Indiana. Albert J.
Beveridge, who is one OF the senate
leaders and an orator known for both
the force of his rhetoric and the sharp
ness of his wit. Senator Beveridge Is
an author also, and his book about the
Russian empire, which appeared about
the time that war between Japan and
Russia broke out, has been widely
read.
Mr.. Beveridge is one Of the younger
set among the Washington statesmen,
as he will not be forty-four years of
age until autumn, and though he has
enjoyed a university education, he has
seen life from the point of view of
what President Roosevelt calls 1.-THE
man with the patch on his breaches"
for he was plowboy and railroad la
borer logger and teamster In early
days. The meat inspection bill was
passed in the senate with remarkable
celebrity as a rider of the agricultural
bill, and it has been said that the bin
was hastily slung together, tagged with

POINTS ON FEEDING

According TO the Kansas experiment
station. soy beans have the quality of
producing softness in butter. Cotton
seed meal has the opposite effect from
the soy bean meal-it hardens butter.
With soy beans and cottonseed meal
available it Is therefore possible for the
private dairyman to so regulate the
ration Of his cows that he can produce
butter of any desirable consistency.
Feed and Per Cent of Fat.
Experiments show comparatively lit
of fat, says an exchange The Yer
mont station, after five years tests, con-
cluded that cows on early pasture
make more and richer milk than dur
ing the last months of their barn life.
Professor Henry says that the milk
from pasture contains less water and
that the higher fat content is always
accompanied by higher percentage of
total solids He states broadly that
succulent feeds have no deleterious eff
feet upon the composition of milk, but
in many cases beneficial influence.
How to Feed Alfalfa.
The cost of producing milk and but
ter can be greatly reduced by replac-
ing part of the concentrates in the
daily ration of the COW, with some
roughness rich in protein, such as al
falfa or cowpea hay.
In substituting alfalfa hay for wheat
bran it will be best in practice to al
low one and one-half pounds of alfalfa
to each pound of wheat bran, and IL
the alfalfa Is fed In finely chopped
condition the results will prove more
ment Station.
Feeding Heifers.
No efforts are made to secure large
milk yield during the years of growth
in heifers, but rather to develop habit
Of persistency In the flow, says a cor
respondent i'm Kimbal's Dairy Farmer.
A grain ration ranging from four to six
pounds daily will suffice for the first
year Of lactatlon. With each succeed
ing year pound or two may be added
to the daily ration. This secures good
growth, together with normal develop
ment OF milk functions.
Cows on Fresh Grass.
When cows come out of winter quar-
ters in rather poor, thin condition and
their yield OF milk has been decreased
from lack Of proper nourlshment dur
ing the winter months the fresh grass
has a wonderfully invigoratlng effect
on their system and the yield Of milk will
undoubtedly be increased But as the
quantity of milk increases the test fire.
