given glass and chinawaTe, does NO
keep spoons, forks or dishes bright, for
the gases attendant upon cooking,
whether from coal or sulphuretted
hydrogen, tarnish and darken the sur
faces, and when they are discolored
nothing but good securing and polish

All silver pieces should be washed

TREES Being PULLED DOWN
Old Landmarks Go to Make Room

First South Street.

A traction engine is being put to a
novel use by workmen preparing West
First South street for paving. In cut
ting the grade to the curb many old
trees are found In the way. The roots
Of these are cut and the tree fastened
to the engine with strong chains The
machine is then backed up and over
topples tree, roots and all.
But the engines work does not end
here. The fallen tree is again fastened
to the engine and dragged away. Great
care must be taken i'm pulling some of
the trees down as electric and telephone
wires are tangled up in their branches.
One old tree which has stood on the
southwest corner of Second West and
First South streets for many years, was
coaxed to earth by horsepower persua-
sion yesterday afternoon. Several big
chains were broken before the locust
fell over. Owing to it's immense size
IL was cut in half and two trips made

BEET CROP WILL Be HEAVY
Local Railroads Preparing to Haul
305,500 Tons in Idaho and
Utah,

The annual demand for cars to move
the beet crop to factories is about due
and railroads affected are making an
effort to meet this years demand. The
crop, it is estimated. will reach 800, 500
tons this fall i'm Utah and Idaho alone
Local railroads are locating every idle
car for use.
The Oregon Short Line has nine beet
territories to cover and, naturally. is
making the greatest preparations to
have adequate shipping facilities ready.
At Pocatello and other shop cities on
this system cars are being overhauled
and converted into beet cars. Sides are
being installed on fiat and ballast cars.
while coal cars are having doors cut
into them. The Oregon Short Line has
borrowed 200 fiat cars from the South
ern Pacific, and these will be converted
into crates with a capacity of forty-five
tons each.
An estimate of the crop from ten dis
tricts in Utah and Idaho follows:
Nampa, $1,000 tons; Payette, $4,000
tcrs; Sugar City, $4,000 tons: Idaho
Falls, $500 tons: BlackfoOt. 22.5OO tons:

Fisher Harris. secretary Of the Com

returned yesterday morning from Boise,
where they attended the fourteenth an
nual session of the National Irrigation
congress
Both of the delegates were enthusiastic
over the results obtained by Utah in the
contests for prie@s
The eleventh annual session OF the
congress, which was held i'm Ogden,
awarded the Clark cup to Idaho" Mr..
Harris said, after a bitter contest with
Tan Idaho was not prepared to enter
the cup for competition at this session
or the congress, and the cup was ac-
cordingly not on the lists.
Utab. however. won practically every
prize for which she competed. The great
est OF these was the great sweepstakes
cup. which we won from all contestants
The winning of this cup is a triumph for
the state Utah thus carries the dis
tlnctOn of having the finest fruit exhibit
displayed. The cup was awarded to Utah
after most rigid examination. A num-
per OF other prizes were won by Utah
In connection with the fruit display.
Praise for kieseI.

serves the highest praise He was in

The state board of horticulture was
present i'm a body. Not a member failed
10 attend the congress. Under the able
direction Of Thomas Judd president of tho
board. and j. Edward Taylor. the board
not only secured the magnificent fruit dis
play from all parts of the state and as
sembled IL at Boise, but they were on
hand at the display at all hours of the
day and night to give information to in
quirtng hundreds concerning Utah and her
advantages. I heard dozens of strangers
from all parts OF the country speak of
their untailing courtesy and good nature
'Utahs showing at the congress was
one of which every resident of the state
could well feel proud. 1t was one of the
greatest advertisements that Utah ever
had, and IL will result in great good for
the state. 1t was a revelation TO many
who had supposed that Utah was a desert
The congress represented the greatest
diversity of interests of any session yet
held with the possible exception Of the
session held at Ogden.
There was a beautiful fight between
