After listening to several Wit
nesses forget everything con-
nected with the illegal sale OF
liquor at the last term Of court,
Judge Denton instructed the
prosecuting attorney to bring
charge against them Tor perjury.
Before the grand jury last fall
the witnesses testified clearly as
to the manner and timo in which
they purchased liquors, and in
dictments were returned for the
sale Of liquors To minors with
out written permission. The
cases were brought up in March
and on account of the absence Of
witnesses were continued. The
cases went to trial in the late ad.
iourned term. The prosecuting
witnesses testified that they had
forgotten everything and the
Judge ordered that the testimony
given before the grand jury be
brought before the witnesses
but the Witnesses memory re.
fused to work. The court took
charge ofthe witnesses but could
get at no facts. Another case
was called and another witness
was called who had given testi.
nony before the grand iury-he
TOO had forgotten. Still another
case Was called and another wit

How Good land Stands OrleI.

IL is not q dimcult matter 70
lind thousands Of corn fields the
yield Of which has been cut
squarely IN two hg thedrouth per-
iod passed through during the
latter part OF July aud during the
month ofAuaust The effects Of
this drouth Ia many instances
have embarrassed men financial
ly Tor tie present, and we believe
these win have the sympathy Of
every man who has succeeded in
raising a good crop.
The thing thas I'VE would like to
call special attention to at this
time is that there is q marvellous
difference between the character
of the crop on the farms in every
neighborhood and even on the
seperate fields of a Particular
farm. Land that has been corn
ed year after year was the first
to show signs Of friug. We have
in mind a particular farm on
which was grown eighty acres OF
corn this year. Twenty acres Of
THIS was plougl ed last fall after
removing a crop of oats and APP
plying a light coating of barnyard
manure. That particular farm
has matured its crop, and at no
time up to the first Of September
did it show signs Of firing. We
do not say that the dry weather
did not cut the field to some ex-
tent, but it shows every prospect
OF yielding sixty or possibly sew
enty bushels per acre.
Another twenty-acre flied was
used as a hog pasture for num-
her of years and il was in ideal
condition from a fertility stand-
point. It was plowed early this
spring and planted to corn early
in the season. AS the result Of
early planting it was laid by early
and one would natura.,s think
that under such circumstances
the crop would suffer owing to
the rapid evaporation of moisture
from the soil and from the crack
ing OF same. In spite of this
fact the field in question has
passed through the dry period
and has apparently ripened a
normal crop.
The third field on this same
farm contains forty acres. 1t
was broken out of sod for the
first time five years ago and has
produced a crop OF corn each
year. The idea Of the owner was
to try to reduce the raging fertil.

6. \. R. CONVENTION
 GETS UNDER WAY A GATHERING OF THIRTY THOU
 SAND VETS. The Contests for Place of Honor and Place of Next Convention.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 9.-The first day of the national encampment of the G. A. R. found 3OOOO veterans and visitors quartered in the city, with prospects of having the number in creased to 5000 Of the fourteen past cOmmanders-in-c chiefs now living, five are in attendance at the present re- union. They are Generals s. s. Bur dett of Washington. D. C.; Eli Tor renee of Minneapolis and John +. King of Baltimore. Corporal James Tanner of Washington and General Charles G. Burton of Nevada. A re- ception in honor of Commander-in- Chief Nevius and the officers of his staff was given by the Woman's Re lief Corps tonight in the rooms of the Commercial club. Three thousand guests were present In the receiving line besides Commander-in-C Chief Nev- jus, were Governor and Mrs. Spry and Mayor Brandsford and wife. At the armory and assembly hall buildings were held camp fires which were ad- dressed by Chief Nev- jus, Senator Vice Commander J. F.. Kent of Hamilton, Ohio: Past Com uldnueTS- ultl buIlpi anu lbi renee: Mrs. Mary w. Gilman, national president of the w. R. C., and Gene vieve LOngfield Lane, national presi- dent of the Ladies of the G. A. R.
 The political side of the encampment was made prominent through the open ing of headquarters of rival claimants for coming honors.
 The indications are that the fight between St. Louis and Atlantic City for the next encampment will be warmly contested one.
 For commander n-chief, former Governor Van Sant and w. l.. Ketch- am of Indiana continue to be the ac- tive candidates. Friends of l.. T. Dickerson of Illinois urged him to seek the coveted honor, but he de- clined. In consequence a sentiment in his behalf for 1911 is being developed.
 The outdoor spectacle for the even ing parade of the Wizard of Wasatch and his wards was prevented by heavy rainstorm which burst over the city just as the procession was forming. Within half an hour the downpour ceased, but the decorations have suffered serious damage.

INVITATION FOR BIDS
 FOR AS [ CONSTRUCTION
SENT OUT BY GENERAL MAN
 AGER DRAKE.
Work to Begin Immediately, Climatic
 Conditions Permitting.

Prescott. Aug. 9.-(Special)-G eral Manager Drake of the S F. F. & P. and branch lines, today sent out invitations for proposals for the construction of the Arizona and Call fornia railroad from Parker, to which point it has been completed, to Ben gal, Cal, on the main line of the Santa Fe Pacific.
 Though the time for the beginning of construction has not been dofi nitely decided upon, that will be fixed as soon as the contract is let and it will be as soon as work can be car ricd on on the desert advantageOusly. It is estimated that the work will require about six months, so that trains will no doubt be running over the A. X c. to the coast by March 1.
 The railroad company is desirOus of it's completion at the earliest pos sible time, for one reason among many, that the present passenger service over the uncompleted line to Parker has been conducted at a loss ever since it was put on.
 It is stated by the management that as soon as the road is finished to Bengal through train from Phoe- nix to Los Angeles will be put on.

| attempt to remedy these defects, if they exist. through criticism of the methods adopted by the officials in | direct charge. Any needed improve ments should be brought to the atten- tion of the lawmaking body and par ticularly to the committees on irriga- tion of the senate and house, each of which is seeking for suggestions and intelligent advice from practical men,"
 Jos. N. Carey of Washington pro- posed a system of state laws for the various states contemplating the pro lection of the individual farmer. He was opposed in some quarters by del- egates who believe that irrigation laws might be proper for some of the newer states, but that older common wealths will be able to care for themselves.
 The congress opened with the 'Irri gation ode sung by the Spokane chorus of 25O voices. The address of welcome to the state was delivered by Gov M. F. Hay of Washington. On behalf of the city, Mayor N. $. Pratt spoke. He caused a sensation by charging private capital with in terfering with government reclama tion projects. Response on behalf of the congress was made by George E. Barstow, president of the congress.
 It is understood that many state delegations have declined to commit themselves in the matter of endorsing candidate for president. This is true in the case of President Bar stow, who, although not an announc- ed candidate, has been urged strongly for a second term, because of the feeling that the office should be passed around" Other candidates for the presidency of the congress developed during the day in the per sons of former Governor Gooding of Idaho, former Governor Pardee of California and Congressman Mondell of Wyoming. Former Governor Par dee of Calofornia was appointed tenn porary chairman of the resolutions committee but insamuch as the com mittee is not complete in its per sonnel, it will not meet for perhaps three days, and no act will be taken toward the permanent organization of the committee for the present. The committees on permanent organiza- uoH anu CItutiNidiS HdNt Hol bSth completed.
 The question of a next meeting place has narrowed down to a fight between San Francisco and Pueblo. Colo Illinois will throw it's strength to San Francisco and there seems to be much sentiment for the California city. The concensus of opinion seems to be that the congress should be held west of the Missouri river and in that event Chicago will have little show Among the smaller cities favorably mentioned is Fl Paso.
 The new constitution providing the business like basis so much desired by the congress was adopted without dissent today, and this afternoon's session was carried out under the new constitution.
