tional returns from the state at large
this morning do not change the cs.
innate made last night of $4,000 for
Taft and from 10000 TO 1900 for
spry Republican for governor,
One OF the surprising features Of
tho election was the overwhelming
defeat OF the American or anti
church ticket in salt Lake county,
Even Salt Lake City itself, which
usually gives the anti-church ticket
substantial plurality went Rcpub-
lican by from 1000 to 1000,
The American party managers say
this was due TO the success Of tho
Republican party managers in elm
mating the Taft electors from 10
American party ticket, thus making
it impossible for an American party
voter to vote for Taft without cast
ing a scratched ballot, Aud this fact,
they assert, resulted in hundreds yot-
ing the Republican ticket rather than
take a chance Of invalidating their
ballot.
At Democratic and American
headquarters this VAS looked upon
as practically wiplng out party lines
hereafter in Salt Lake county.

NEARLY A MILLION
VISITED THE FAIR
Estimate of Grand Total Attendance
Is Eight Hundred Thousand.

Dallas, Nov. Eight hundred
thousand people, or approximately
that number, saw the varied attrac-
tons OF the State fair Of Texas for
1908. They were drawn to this city
by the best array of exhibits which
the management OF the fair has ever
presented, The gross receipts for
1908 may exceed $275,O00, which is
$4,000 more than was received in
1907 and 1907 held the record in
this respect. Although the expenses
for 1908 were heavier than ever be-
fore, it Is believed that when the
board OF directors hold a meeting,
ten days or two weeks hence the net
profits will be found to be more
than 100000.
General approval is given by the
State fair management TO the sug-
gested plan to give particular atten-
ton to the livestock department next
year.

SPARKS AND SPIKES



The following rules, which have
been put in force on the Erie rail-
way, have been in use on other
western roads for years, They are
Of sufficient public interest TO be
repeated In the Panhandle,
The Erie road has issued new
book of rules OF the operating de-
partment and under head OF Gen
eral Notice" the following observa-
lions are made:
"The nature OF the transporta-
tlon business and its relation to the
state and the community require
the services OF men Of active
minds, good character and general
ability. The employees Of a rail-
road are at all times, both in the
discharge of their duties as en-
ployes and as citizens, under the
constant view OF the public. Failure
to be efficient parts of the transpor-
tation system, or valuable citizens
In whatever place they are domi-
clled, brings reproach upon them
and the corporation with which they
are connected.
There are corporate and private
duties deyolving upon each officer
and emplOye that are not, nor can
they be, expressed by fixed instruc-
tons or rules. A failure on the
part OF any one to perform such
duties makes it the duty Of
the proper officer OF the company
to indicate to the person privately,
in a proper way and place, his
shortcomings. Subsequent failure
to profit by the warning must sew
err the relations existing as employ
er and employe, Notwithstanding the
fact that there has been no literal
violation of the printed rules.

Dallas News: II will be a
relief to those who are fond
OF quail shooting 20 know that
Bob white" is not destroyer Of
boil weevlls, and therefore the pro-
lection he has heretofore received
from many under the supposition
that he was will no longer avail
him. In circular No. Ga, Issued by
the bureau OF biological survey, It
is stated authoritatlvely that the
quail does not eat boil weevlls. This
declaration Is made after official ex-
pertinent and investigation. The cir
cular, which was prepared by Ar
thur IL. Howell, assistant in the bio
logical survey, says sixty-three quails
we're examined during January. Feb
ruary and March, and that not one
OF them had eaten a weevil that
thirty-eight we're examined during
July, August and September with the
same result, while los we're examln-
cd during October, November and
December and only one weevil was
found. The circular does not give
any information as TO the value OF
the quail in destroying other insect
pests,
The authority above referred to
says in regard to the good the birds
known to be weeyll eaters do tho
cotton farmer:
1.-THE service rendered by the vast
army Of birds which occupies the
cotton plantations Of the South dur
ing the winter months Is only be-
ginning to be appreciated. During
the first season In which birds were
studied in their relation to the wee
vii, only twenty species were discov-
cred to feed upon tho insect, and it
was supposed that the influence of
birds in keeping down the pest was
slight. Later Investigations, how
ever, carried on during several years
and at all seasons, have shown that
no less than flity-three species OF
native birds feed upon the pest,
many OF them destroying large num-
bers of weevils during the most
critical period OF the insects life,
that is. in winter and early spring.
Among the thirty species known TO
eat the weevll in winter, several
species, notably the upland plover,
the meadow lark and the various
blackbids. are frequently killed for
food or sport, the plover or pa
pabotte" especially being the Victim
OF extensive persecution, which has
reduced the species TO small frac-
ton OF lie former numbers"
The circular gives especial credit
10 the blackblrd, meadow lark, spar
row. titlark, wren aud titmouse for
good work in destroying the cotton
boll weevll in the winter months.
when the work OF destruction is so
much more effective than In other
months, for the reason that every
weevil killed in winter presents the
propagation and growth OF progeny
by 1t during the spring and summer.
or course none OF the recent re-
ports referred to diseredit the quail
In the least when It comes to the
destruction of other insects or when
II comes to the consumption OF vast
quantities OF grass and weed seeds
that might really, in many cases,
give the farmer more trouble than
any single pest could give him. There
are other authorities who still con-
tend and offer evidence to prove that
the quail is a voracious consumer
OF the boil weevil.

Notwithstanding the 2-cent fare,

however, showed the effect OF the

period it fell off nearly Z per cent.
In his comment on conditions
President Winchell said in his re-
port to the directorate and stock
holders:
"The recent business depression

gross earnings, which decrease was
met, as far as thought advisable and
practicable, by a reduction in OPP
Grating expenses, the integrity and

zone OF the difficult features OF
this business depression which ad-
versely affected operating results is
found in the empty car movement,
which increased near 23,000,00O,
WheiF the sudden falling off in
freight traffic came, not only were
the lines well covered with foreign
cars, which must be returned to their
owners empty to avoid further per
diem charges, but being an interme-
date road, we're flooded with empty
cars being returned from Western
