feature of the day was the ball game
between the champion Bountiful team
and the white Wings" composed of

Cattle Are Healthy.

western cattle are extraordinarily
healthy this year. There Is no tubercu-
losis, except In sporadic and isolated cases.
There is no disease frequently encoun-
tered. except lumpy jaw. This Is a pure p
ly local condition. In the central market
cattle suffering with this disease are re-
ported by the commission men to the ma
tiohal inspectors. They pass on every
case, and If the animals are sent to the
slaughter, which takes place in an indie
pendent house, the carcass is hung up and
passed upon by another Inspector. II
this inspector passes the carcass as sal
able. il is sold and the check for the
proceeds is sent to the commission man,
and by him to the owner.
If the federal inspectors decide that
the meat is not salable and is not fit
for human food, il is sent TO the tank
house and destroyed In the presence of an
inspector. A small check is then sent to
the owner; as the carcass is converted into
fat for axle grease, for soap or is convert

1t transpired yesterday that Rudolph

Prize for Shooting chutes.

The principal contest I'm the afternoon
was the shooting the chutes. A prize was
offered to the first six women who came
down without making a noise. Several
loads tried with no success. so the Judges
finally decided on those who came down
most and squeaIed least. The winners
were Miss Deloney, Lettie Wolf, Mrs
Sam Wolf, Omega Wolf, Stelle FARMLAND
and Mrs. Pitt. The results of the other
events were as follows:
Free-fOr-all women's race-Mrs. Shin
ming first. Mrs. j. b. Lewis second, Mrs.
Joseph Salmon third.

Hurdle race-Parke first, Wilcox second

Baseball Game.
In the baseball game the white
Wings were downed by the Bountiful
bunch by a score of 16 to o. Both teams
put up a fairly good game except when
the L. c. It's went up in the air in the
fifth and eighth innings. The game would
have been featureless had it not been for
the rooters. The Salt Lakers supported
their team in splendid manner and made
enough noise TO win three games The

Railway Connections Obtained.

Shortly after this there was some
slight difficulty between the two railway
companies over the running by the Ore
gOn Short Line of a spur track along
ful, however, and Mr. Ortman now holds
full block and a half of property with
railway connections on two sides. The
property is admirably located for such
a project. 1t is stated now and upon
good authority that the entire transac-
ton was on behalf of the Griffin COM
pany, which wished to be on the most
amicable terms with all the railroad COM
panies with whom it must necessarily do
business and did not wish to appear in
the transaction until site and all ques-
lions of railway facilities were absolute
ly settled.

Secret as to Purpose.

There has been much conjecture as TO
Mr. Ortman's movements. Railroad men
have been interested but inquiry failed to
find out anything. He came here and ar
ranged for the purchase of the property
plans.
The second piece of property was
bought through the Houston Real Estate
Investment company, who claimed to
know nothing of Mr.. Ortman beyond the
fact that he had bought over $4,000 worth
of property and paid for it, His legal
agent, f. B. Stephens, says that he saw
Mr.. Ortman for but a short time and
knows nothing of his intentions regarding
his property requirements. He did not
know that Mr.. OFtman was acting for the
Griffin company or for any one else, as
the transfers were all made TO Mr. Ort-
man and paid for by him.

If there IS any man on this earth,
white or black, WHO insists that his

no drain on himself. tllat man is the
Britisher. And he Is quite right. An

collection Of bodies as he represents
should pay his legitimate expenses
when he is sent 30 compete for that
college or club or association or union.
England goes much farther and gives
much more latitude in the matter Of
expenses than we do. In cricket, for
example, amateur" players in England
whose services are desired for the

As TO Gas Meters.
From tho Minneapolis journal

From tho Minneapolis Journal.
What is the divinity which, hedges
around a gas meter that it is presumed to
he forever i1npeccable? a watch must be
regulated, an engine inspected. a sewer
connection tested, but a gas meter goes on
forever. This is the assumption of citizens.
but they ar" not compelled to take such a
position if they do not wish. Minneapolis
has an ordinance which provides for the
inspection of gas meters. Any consumer
Of gas within the city has the right In the
payment of a fee of 81 to the inspector OF
gas to have his meter tested and he has
the right TO be present at the inspection IL
he so desires. Whenever Il meter on be-
ing tested shall be found to work to tbs
injury of tho consumer to the extent OF
. per cent. the fec of 81 shall be repaid to
the consumer. There is nothing in the
Minneapolis ordinance providing for the
assessment of amages in behalf OF the
consumer If 1t shall appear that the meter
has been robbing him. In this respect tho
Chicago ordinance is rather more complete
than ours since 1t assumes if a meter ia
found too fast. that II has been too fast
for six months and the consumer is en-
titled to a rebate for that period based on
tho percentage of error found.
The Chicago department last month in
spectcd seventy meters and found As per
cent. of then, registering too fast. This
percentage II sustained in a general In
spaction Ct all gas me.ers in the city would
convict the gas companies of gathering u.
very large unearned revenue Tn Chi
cago fee Of $3.50 IS too high to encourage
very general application for Inspections
and Mayor Dunno has prepared a substi-
tute TO reduce the amount to 81 and make
other changes in the ordinance. Among
TIL" new provisions added is a complete
biennial inspection of meters. the expense
of which will fall upon the gas companies.
The people of cities groan continually
about their gas bills. There seems to be
no household account which is more UNI
popular, and yet there is nonc which ought
to be moro checrfully paid when 1t is just.
The situation suggests that gas consumers
ought never to grumblc so long as there
are uncNhaustel ways and means of de-
tcrmining whether justice is being done
them.

The Automobile SwindIc.


AS a rule the swindlcrs who operate
through tho mails are satisfied with Il
small profit from each dupe some content
ing themselves with as little as 10 cents
and the more ambitious ones with a dollar
or TWO. Once in a while. however. a high
roller appears among them who raises the
limit to $40 or even $40. ON June | a fraud
order was issued against an individual
at Greycourt. New York. who was running
a $50 game. Like the ring-game people he
uses circular letters. Here is one of
them:

CHURCHES GET CLOSER
Evangelist j. Wilbur Chapman OBJ
serves Crumbling Of Dividing Line.

That there is deepening interest in
evangelistic work and that the churches
of different denominations are being
brought into closer fellowship is evil
denced by the many experiences which
are being related by the different Chris
tian workers thruout the country, but
no one has witnessed greater evidences
of this than the Rev. J. Wilbur Chap
man.
In Minneapolis, DR.. Chapman, at the
invitation of the Protestant Episcopal
bishop, preached at preliminary serv-
ice held in the cathedral, the bishop
and clergy being present and the
church being filed to- overfowing.
Within the past few weeks DR.. Chap
man has received an invitation from
another Episcopal bishop to preach at
a full service, to which all the different
denominations would be invited
In Norwalk, Conn, the same expert
ence has been given to him in connec-
ton with the evangelistic campaign, in
which the churches of Norwalk and
South Norwalk were united and the Rt.
Rev. Chauncey D. Brester, bishop of
Connecticut, was present and preached.
He was introduced by IT. Chapman to
the great audience which filed to over
flowing the large auditorium and
preached a sermon of great power on
the Indifference CT the church, at the
same time making an appeal direct and
personal to the unsaved to accept Jesus
Christ as personal savior.
