PRAISES | D is FOOD Law.
Helps Foreign Trade, Says United
States Consul Murphy.
STATUTE TO COMPEL PURITY.

Has Benefited, Not Hampered, Euro
pean countries-inereases In Expor-
tation In Many Important Foodstuffs
In France Shown In Report. 4
That the United States pure food
law instead Of hampering foreign
trade has benefited it and seems to
have carried with it greater respect
for foreign labels Is the. opinion ex-
pressed by United States Consul Dom
inic l. Murphy, at Bordeaux, France,
former commissioner Of pensions, in
report on French exports to the United
States. # -.-. f.
Consul Murphy says the records Of
the Bordeaux consulate, one of the first
places which would naturally feel the
effects of changed conditions, show
that the declared values of exports Of
French foods and food products to the
United States during the first year of
the operation of the pure food law ac-
tually increased. gs4
The value Of alimentary paste, maca-
roni, increased almost $4,000 during
1907 as compared with 1906, jams and
jelliess increased 1921. olive oil $685.
753. preserved fruits 4,70s, preserved
vegetables S55,13 still wines SAG, ,7S9
and sparkling wines $500. Other ar
ticles classed as foods showed decreas-
ed expectation. but the decrease in al
most every item may be properly ac-
counted: for without reference to the
pure food law, says the consul.
Exports Of brandy fell Off $11,2S5,
but the records show a much greater
falling off in 1906 compared with 1905.
The decrease in preserved fish, which
was considerable, was due solely to
the practical failure of the sardine
fisheries, the packers here having been
utterly unable to supply a one-hun-
dredth part Of their American orders.
AS for liquors, the slight decrease Is
due to the provision of the pure food
law forbidding the use Of certain col
ored matters and the difficulty the
manufacturers have found in obtain
ing proper substitutes.

to town that day.
There will be prizes of $500 and
$500 for each of the two best sam
pies l Of potatoes, pumpkins and
squashes. There will be pony races
for boys between Ia and 18 years old
over course one-elghth of mile
long, the prizes for which will be
$500, $500 and $500.
& The contest for, the speediest un-
ihitching and hitching ! up of teams
bids fair to be an exciting event. All
the teams entered will be lined up
already harnessed to the wagons. The
drivers are to iunhitch the horses from
the wagons, drive them on foot
around the block and on their return
harness the team again to the wagon
and get up on the seat. The first
three men seated after the above.
will be given three prizes of $500,
$500 and $500, respectively.
b The pulling contest will be as fol-
lows: There will be several sacks
of sand piled up on top Of rope; the
team able to pull the rope out with
the greatest weight of sand piled on
it will be adjudged the winner Of the
$500 prize.
There will be a lot of fun in these
contests and they will be exciting
and interesting as well. If anybody
has any good ponies or is extra fast
at harnessing horses or If anyone has
an extra strong team, there will be
a fine opportunity Of not only winning
little money but to show your neigh
Dor that your horses are better than
his after all. ....

auction sale next time and in the

or second hand goods to sell he can

I was reading in a magazine about
Iceland being country without pris-
ons or policemen. 1t said there was
no graft in that country and that
there had been but two cases of theft
in 100 years. One was native who
stole sheep, but he proved that his
family was in dire need of food, so
the authorities decided that it was
not dishonest and let him go on
promise to pay for the sheep. The
other case was where German stole
1T sheep, which they thought was
more than he needed, so they give
him the choice of suiciding or leav-
ing the country. He said he would
go back to his mother country where
the laws We're not SO stringent and
the mutton was much better. l. guess
he wanted a change anyhow. I know
a fellow who is taking his vacation
in his back yard under a spreading
elm, and all the clothes he wears is

goes to the telephone and says: BUY

Western Pacific.
PRELIMINARY DEPOT WORK
ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION WILL
START SOON, IT'S SAID.

Charles II. Schlacks. vice president
and executive head Of the Denver &
Rio Grande, yesterday reiterated the
statement that he made on his last
visit to Salt Lake TO the effect that the
new depot of the Rio Grande i'm Salt
Lake would be built very soon. Since
the-purchase OF the site and the clear
ing away of the ground a year ago,
there has never been any doubt but
that the new depot would be built this
year, and the officials of the road were
only waiting for a relaxation of the
stringent times in order that work
might be begun. Mr.. Schlacks did not
say how soon work would be begun,
but said that it would be very soon.
The grade of the tracks in the new
yards of the Denver & Rio Grande is
being established, and small forces of
men are cleaning up on the depot site.
Some material TO be used in prelm-
mary construction work has already
arrived i'm the city. 1t is understood
that piles and machinery will be
brought TO the city soon to be used in
the construction work. 1t viii take
probably a year for the completion of
the new depot.
Accompanying Mr.. Schlacks on his
d L.
Scott, Robert Fleming, Mrs. Fleming
and Miss Kathryn Fleming. MIR. Flem-
ing is an English capitalist who is
largely interested i'm the Gould lines.
He came to America to inspect the
lines, and brought with him his wife
and daughter. The party came TO Salt
Lake yesterday morning from Denver
in a special train of three cars In the
afternoon the gentlemen of the party
were the guests of District Construc-
ton Engineer Wyche of the Western
Pacific in a trip by special train 100
miles west on the Western Pacific.
While this junl1et was on, Colonel l. A.
Benton. general agent of the passenger
department of the Denver & Rio
Grande. entertained Mrs. Fleming and
her daughter with an automobile drive
about the city. Miss Fleming is an
expert equestrienne, and often partici-
pated i'm the English fox chases. She
was much interested in Salt Lake, its
roads and its scenery. The party start
ed on Eeturn trip to Denver at 6:35
last evening. Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming
and Miss Kathryn Fleming sail on
May for England.
Our trip was not one to which any
Importance should be attached" said
Mr.. Schlacks- Mr.. Fleming wanted to
look over the system, and for that
reason came to Salt Lake with me. We
intend TO start work on your new depot
soon, just how soon l do not know, but
it is certain that the depot Will be built
and that the work will be commenced
soon.
Our labor troubles? Well. our trains
are moving on time. We have all the
men we need. AS l understand it. the
men we have are competent work

are working a normal force at each OF

WANTS TO SUE JUDGE DIEHL
Letter Writing Candidate for Mental
Hospital Still at Large.

Frank ]. Silver, the man who spent
seventy-five days with the chain gang
for robbing Salvation Army contribu-
ton boxes, has made up his mind to
sue Police Judge Diehl, who sentenced
him, for damages. Silver has asked
Dana T. Smith to commence proceed
ings against the police judge.
In a letter. covering nine closely
written pages, Silver has explained to
Judge Smith the strong points in his
case.
In the first place. he said he had
earned $3.50 during the seventy-five
days he spent making improvements in
City Creek canyon and in the boule-
guards detailed to watch the prisoners,
he said, would have to admit that his
services were worth $780,
He insisted that he was unjustly ar
rested, claiming that he had a right to
open the Salvation Army contribution
box in the Franklin candy store, be-
cause the Salvation Army owed him
$25 for work he had done.
He called attention to the fact that
the money found in his possession at
the time of his arrest had been given
to the Salvation Army. although, he
said he had drawn the sum from a
bank.
Then Silver compared his humble po-
sition in life with that of the great
Lincoln in the beginning of the states
mans career. He intimated that there
were better days in store for Silver.
| In conclusion, Silver asked that
| Judge DiehI be made to pay him $3.50
damages for sending him to the chain
gang.
