MANS POWER OVER HORSE
Equestrian Director Of Circus Discusses
Animal Instinct

What is the power which man exercises
over the horse when the equine is made
to perform feats, seemingly beyond his
power of comprehension? was asked OF
Bud German. equestrian director of the
Forepaugh- Sells circus. Mr.. Germans
opinion is that the curious, indefinite
quantity known as instinct" is at the
bottom of all the tricks that the horse
he learns tricks. Usually the eating is
at the bottom of his entire education.
lie does things for the most part because
he gets something good 10 eat after the
doing. 1t is his natural search after
food that makes him do them, just as he
paws away the snow to get at the grass
After while the action becomes habit,
and 1t Is said he Is broken"
There never was anything to break. His
instincts were simply set in motion. Some
men take months TO teach q horse the
simplest trick and weeks to make him
bridle-wise. In a week I can have the
same horse responding easily to my d.
rections in simple tricks. 1t Isn't the
horse; II is the trainer. Some men eXer-
else an influence over animals which Is
almost hypnotic. The man himself can't
tell how it is done. In some mysterious
manner the horses instincts make him
do certain things in certain ways at GER
taia times. He does them just as he eats
and with no more evidence of judgment
Mr.. German has number OF equine
high school graduates which will make
their bow In Salt Lake City Thursday
next during the performance of the Fore
paugh- shows.

One improvement which was very notice

have tho nerve TO ask for two towels to

Programme at Saltair,

Saltair, Sunday. had the pleasure OF a
crowd numbering about 5000, which is
a decided decrease over the usual Sunday

bathing were the drawing cards, and
both were excellent. Two concerts were
given, one in the afternoon and the other
in the evening, and the singing in both
concerts was exceptionally good,
The soloists were Willard Christopher

FREIGHT CARS ARE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Department Did Not Respond,
on Account of Lack
of Water.

Fifteen freight cars belonging TO Inc
Rio Grande railroad were destroyed by
fire in the company's yard, near 'he
copper plant, at Fifteenth North and
Tenth West streets.
The fire which was communicated 10
the cars was started in the dry grass,
presumably from the sparks OF passlns
engine. The FIRE department ana not re.
spond owing to the fact that there was
no water available for tho hremen al
that point. a;,
The railroad people were advised
that the department would go to the
scene if the company would have the
burning cars pulled TO some place where
water could be had. AS this was not
done, the fire department could have
been Of no possible use.
All efforts Of the yardmen to put out
the fire were unayailing and the whole
train of cars was finally put out OF
commission.
At late hour the company was un"
able to estimate the amount OF the loss.
This will not be known with any de-
gree Of accuracy until today's 8 estimates
and reports are received.

The arrangements constitute "a rather
complex affair and include the basis Of
the terms Of consolidation, the manner
OF the operation of the enlarged ex-
hlbit and the agreement upon and the
selection Of suitable building for the
permanent home of the exhibit. A
good part of the details of the terms Of
consolidation have been agreed upon,
but they have not as yet been reduced
to writing, and much less have they
been signed.
Fair Association State Institution.
The State Fair association is State

ample backing as well as perpetuity,
and 1T cannot enter into any kind of an

When the details Of the consolidation
are agreed upon they will not be ef

Swan Building Considered.
The new Swan building on Third

Yield Is Of High Quality, and the Pro-
dnction Is Great.

The quality OF the wheat crop continues
TO attract attention. New York house
cites the fact that out OF 2i3I cars ol
wheat received during five days OF last
week at Chicago 22t0 cars were accepted
as coming within grade requirements
against last years inspection, when only
1873 cars passed within grade, out of 439
cars. This is taken TO mean that foreign
buying viii begin. In the American mar
ket as soon as Europe discovers the SUI
perior quality OF American wheat and
awakens to the probable shortage in the
continental crop.
The quantity OF wheat In the total
American crop, including Canada, The
United States and Mexico, Will probably
exceed a billion bushels. Last year North
America produced sos. $40. 900 bushels of
wheat. and 637 ,s2S 900 bushels Ia 1904.
The largest crop In recent years was
that OF 1901. which aggregated $50, 603. 600
bushels. A gain Of less than 10000. 600
bushels is not at all improbable when
the prospects of Canada. which are ex-
traordinary with increased northwest
acreage and the promising outlook for
the three great Northwestern States,
are taken into account

than last year.
revision OF estimates is now going
on throughout the middle West. Trading
companies do not hesitate TO say that
the earlier yields of the Southwest have
TO be marked up considerably on account
OF the superior grading This sort of an
ticipation is in keeping with news from
various trade centers that car shortage
is beginning to be felt. One reason for
this is that merchandise movements are
beginning somewhat earlier this year
than usual toward Western consuming
districts. and railroads are, therefore, not
so fully in command OF their cars as they
would like TO be for the earlier move

PIONEER STAKE HOLDS
QUARTERLY CONFERENCE
Apostle Lyman, David Mckenzie
and Joseph E. Taylor
the Speakers.

| Two sessions Of the quarterly con.
| ference of the Pioneer stake We're held
at the Tabernacle yesterday, President
William Mclaughlin presiding,
The morning meeting was principally
taken up by the reading Of reports.
| Apostle Francis NJ. Lyman spoke on
the duties of priesthood; Bishop Heber
Cutler reported on conditions in the
Thirtieth ward; Bishop Schoenfeld
spoke of affairs in Brighton ward, af-
ter which Miss Edith Hunter, president
of the Primary association Of the
stake, reported as to the conditions
in that organization.
David Mckenzie, who was the prin-
clpal speaker in the afternoon meet
ing, declared there was too little at
tention paid to religious teaching in
fact that children at the very time
they should be receiving moral train
ing were cut OFF from that advantage
He said he would be glad TO see the
Bible again taught in the public schools,
Mr., Mckenzie stated that it was dis
grace TO this great Nation that the
Bible has wilfully been taken out of
tho public schools. He declared that
the agnostic element forced the Bible
out of the schools, and said it was
disgrace that Christian people should
allow themselves to be defeated IN that
manner, He said the Jews had perse-
cuted the Saviour, and that they are
now suffering as Moses predicted they
would suffer
Frank Foster then sang a solo, 'The
Bread of Life and was followed by
Joseph Il. Taylor, who spoke upon the
value of prophecy and how the Bible
had been preserved. He followed main
ly along the lines of the preceding
speakers, and referred to the love
which Mormons bear for outsiders ut
heart.
Mr.. Taylor dwelt upon the apprecia-
tion which Latter-day Saints have for
the United States Government. and
said that probably Thomas Jefferson
would deny that he was inspired by
God when he wrote the Declaration of
independence, but the speaker firmly
believed that Jefferson was inspired
when he established this splendid form
Of government,
The afternoon session was brought TO
a close when Mrs. Lizzie Thomas Ed
ward sang Glow Beautiful Upon the
Mountains" accompanied by the choir.
