The issue Of the election was the en-
forcement of the prohibition and anti:
gambling laws. Rose was supported by
the element which believes that the best
interests Of the city demand the licens-
ing Of joints and gambling halls, as
they maintain that strict enforce

THINK BOYCOTT WAVES
Fear Of Growth of Anti-Foreign Move
=. ment Surprise to Chinese. '7.5i''

: Picking, May Statements that
there is apprehension in the United
States that the boycott of American
goods is growing have caused surprise
here. All the information obtainable
shows that the movement is waning.
The customs report for 1905, just is
sued. shows that the American imports
were 100000 taels compared with 30
00O,0 900 in 1904. The importers made
enormous speculative purchases early in
the year. chiefly in anticipation of war
demands, and increase would be natural
under any circumstances until these
stocks are distributed.
The report says that the result Of the
boycott is not what had been expected.
Much suspicion and hostility were ere
ated, but the general verdict is that not
much injury has been done to American
manufacturers or merchants: The final
effect, however, cannot be judged until
the close of another year or even later.
The only immediate results are visible.

Professor ~ Rothpletz, noted German
geologist, is in Salt Lake studying the
oolites in Great Salt lake This is his
second trip here for this purpose. his first
trip having been made fifteen years ago
Professor Rothpletz has made q COM

in Great Salt lake and the Red sea He
has written many magazine articles and
papers giving valuable information that
he has collected during his research He
is professor in geology and director of
the museum at the University of Munich,
in Bavaria.
Professor Rothpletz claims that the
oolites, which are spherical grains of
sand. are formed by the algae q small
plant found around the shores of the lake
taking the carbon-dioXide out of the wa
ter. Some biologists dissented from this
theory, and said that they were formed
by the water washing upon the lime
rocks, but all of RothpletZ's specimens

absOrbs the carbon-dioxide is one of the
rare forms OF vegetable life found in the
lake. and il is the food that supports most
of the animal life that exists in the briny
waters.
Two expeditions were made 10 the lake.
The first was made Wednesday, when he
was accompanied by Professor /. d. Car
diff. instructor in geology in the Univer-
sity of Utah. who secured a valuable col
lection of specimens from Great Salt lake
for the university museum They visited
the regions around Antelope island, where
they found some extremely deep water.
The Second trip was made yesterday with
E. NJ Hall. This was confined to the
shallow waters near Garfield. and the
rock formations in that vicinity.
Professor RothpletZ leaves shortly for
Germany. where he will analyze the spec
linens that he has collected and make
further research into the oolites. While
on this continent he has visited many
i'm nortant geological formations and has
made a study of the San Francisco earth
