UNION PACIFIC CUTS RATE
DENVER TO KANSAS CITY

Railway officials in Salt Lake yesterday
had an interesting topic for discussion IN
the announcement received that the
Union Pacific railroad had suddenly,
without notice TO the other roads. an
nounced a rate of one cent mile on
tickets from Denver to Kansas City ard
return II is said to be the lowest rate
announced BIZ a transcontinental road in
ten years. with one exception and makes
the round trip fare s. cheaper than the
regular fare one way. 1t is reported that
the announcement Of this rate Is quite
liable to mean a rate war among western
rosds generally
4 report from Denver yesterday re-
ceiVed by several of the officials from
other roads. was to the effect that the
Union Pacific officials there do not offer
any explanations for making the rate ex-
cept to say that they were instructed
from Chicago to put It into effect. and
that they merely carried out those in
str,ctions Several local traffic men yes
ter,isv gave it as their opinion that the
Union Pacific had received intination
that some other road was preparing TO
break away from the agreement to main
tain a rate of two cents mile. and that

ON COMIC OPERA BASIS.

frank J. Heginbotham, county auditor,
,-cs+erdav turned down Nels Forsberg
1ben the latter wanted 10 draw compen-
sstion for work performed at the request
II the county commissioners. Heginboth-
am did this following an opinion which
he asked from Job p. Lyon, county attor-
rsv. to the effect that there was no legal
vsv in which Forsberg could be paid.
f-,~shcrg was engaged in December to
strsirhten out the accounts ana books OF
t5e nsuper fund, which were far behind as
t5s result of the multiplicity of duties of
Anton Dundberg, the pauper clerk lie
Las performed his work well, the COM
-1issipners say, but there seems no way
IN which he can collect the 1872 due him.
irroueh FOrsberg was turned down,
Tundberg has been Illegally drawing 500
= month for some time back
Tha incident IS part of the tangle into
v-bich the county affairs seem to have
5-ifted. The commissioners excuse the IL
legal payment OF pauper clerk by saying
nat Il has been done for ten or fifteen
Years, and that they were following Gus
lanes Sabine took hold Of the pauper
work Yesterday. He is to have the posi-
ION held by Lundberg, but VIII be COM
nsned TO work without salary until the
legislature Iegalzes the appointment and
provides for such an office with compen-
sstion A bill will be presented to do
7hs at once.
As matters stand now. the machinery of
the law can be put in motion against the
Countv commissioners who have held Of
flee ever since these illegal payments be
Gar. and they can be held personally liza
No Suit may be brought against every
commissioner since the position of pauper
clerk was thus illegally created, and he
or they may he compelled to repay the
money to the county treasurer.
The county attorney has been asked to
straighten out the justices of the peace
and compel each of them to make proper
reports Willard Hanson gave no atten-
ZION whatever TO this. Tie justices have
reported, OF not. as they saw fit, and some
Of them have never seen fit. Farley p
Christensen compelled complete returns
from every justice in the county up to the
time Of his retirement from the office.
with q few exceptions, they stopped
there. Not one report has been received
Of the fines in Bingham Junction. for in
stance and for two years there have been
no receipts from fines in the Bingham
court
Farley P. Christensen also made reports
himself Each month the county commits
sioners received a statement Of the bust
ness Of the county attorneys office
These reports also stopped with the re-
tiremeat of Farley P. None were made by
his predecessor for any month, and none
were made at the close of Hanson's term
Of office. There is nothing on record to
show that Hanson was ever county attOr-
ney beyond his oath Of office and his sig
nature to warrants on which he has drawn
his salary.
An ali round and thorough houseclean-
ing is due in the county administrative
offices.

The Rain Came.

Weeks had lapsed into months, and no
rain had fallen. The parched earth had
lifted up its hands to heaven, crying like
child for the life-giving fluid. The fields
had become sere and barren; leaves shri-
yelled up and dropped from the maple
and elm, leaving some of the branches
as bare and skeleton-like as in Novem-
Der; the ferns and golden rod and wild
asters by the roadsides were either dead
or buried in dust; the blazing rays of the
sun had curled up the corn blades, and
blackened and withered the green of
vegetation; and even the flowers that
had not been killed lifted up their little
petals for the kiss of life that came from
the falling dew. The scriptural promise
of seed time and harvest seemed but a
dream, never to be realized, and hope
was dying in the human breast. At last
the clouds gathered and rolled in from
the southeast, the curtains that shut out
the sun were drawn, drop of rain here
and there made the faint heart look up
ward and wish for more. And then came
the ife-giving rain! Gently at first, and
then increasing in volume. For two long
days and nights it came, soaking the old
earth, so that by some unseen telegraphy
the very landscape flashed back its Joy
full thanks, and the happy people still
cherished the trust that ''the Lord is
good, and his mercy endureth forever. "

In the convention of State and National
Food and Dairy Departments at Denver
last week, the question as to the propri-
ETY. of using the chemical as preserva-
tive was referred to board of consulting
scientific experts by Secretary Wilson, of
the Department of Agriculture, at the
suggestion of President Roosevelt, and
this board, headed by DR.. Ira Remsen,
decided that benzoate of soda, when used
in food in proper quantities, was harm
less. A resolution indorsing this report
was presented in the convention and was
adopted after somewhat heated debate
a severe blow to DIR. H. W. Wiley, chief
of the Bureau of Chemistry, who in his
famous poison squad Investigations found
the effects of benzoate on the human
system to be exactly opposite to the
findings Of the Referee Board. The re-
markable feature Of it all was that the
resolutions We're adopted after the two
heaviest guns of the Wiley forces were
fired. They were the papers read by DR..
Daniel r. Lucas of the laboratory of bio
logical chemistry of Columbia University,
and DR.. Charles A. L. Reed of the Uni
versity Of Cincinnati, chairman of the
legislative committee of the American
Medical Association, the organization
which only a short time ago adopted
a resolution denouncing benzoate of soda
DR.. Lucas said that he had conducted
Investigations of his own which proved
benzoate to be dangerous and that it was
especially harmful the way it was used
commercially, and most pronounced in
acid foods. DR.. Reed told of how, after
a long series Of experiments, conducted
by the Government, benzoate foods had
been excluded from commerce as dele
FERROUS to public health. "This action
on the part of the Government, he
said. was embarrassing to two distinct
commercial interests, namely, the man.
ufacuurers of benzoate of soda and the
manufacturers of food products of such
inferior quality that they could not be
preserved without the use of benzoate of
soda. - 1t is thought that the conven-
ton S decision to legalize the use of ben
zoate will let down the bars to the use of
other well-known preservatives now pro-
hibited through the influence of Dr.
Wiley, and ultimately in the revocation
of the ruling requiring the presence of
chemicals in foods to be stated on the
labels The convention, however, pass
ed resolutions asking the Agricultural
Department to continue the investiga-
tons of food preservatives already begun
by it, and to institute further studies on
The broadcast lines; recommending the
enactment of a stricter law regarding
the manufacture and sale of oleomar-
garine; protesting against any decrease
of the tax on coored oleomargarine, and
