BIG FACTOR IN
CITY'S GROWTH
James A. Wallace Tells of Re-
suits of Organization in
DeS MOineS.

James A. Wallace of Des Moines, a
prominent worker in the Greater Des
M0ines committee which has been a
powerful factor in the growth of the Iowa
city, arrived in Salt Lake yesterday to
look over the prospects for a like Organi-
cation in Salt Lake. Mr.. Wallace said
yesterday that this committee. composed
OF substantial business men. had made
Des Moines wideawake, progressive and
energetic community where, before it's
organization, it was slow and practically
dead in a commercial sense.
Des Moines raises, through popular
subscription, 100000 for the support of
years, and, after the start. there has
been no trouble in getting this financial
support said Mr.. Wallace yesterday
1.-THE Greater Des MOines committee in
vestigatcs industrial propositions and af-
fords proper support for them, relieving
the Comm 5rci3l club of this part of the
work, which was carried on in an indif-
ferent manner before. The Coliseum
which will be completed in Des Moines
next month is one of the finest in the
country and it is the direct result of the
campaign carried on under the auspices
of the committee. There seems to be
place in Salt Lake for just such an or
ganizatiOn to look after the proper ad-
verusing of the wonderful advantages of
this city and state"
Mr. Wallace says a freight traffic bu-
reau is one Of the principal departments
of work taken Up by the Des AIOines COM
mittee, and this bureau is saving the
of Des AIOines $4,000 each year
on freight rates.

mo CHILD LABOR HERE
Carl R. Holbrook, Well Known Man,
Says Utah Is Free From
Course"

Carl r. HOlbrook, prominent in the
national society for the prevention Of
child labor, says Utah is remarkably
free from that great American curse"
Mr.. HOibrOOk was Salt Lake visitor
yesterday, stopping at the Kenyon.
He went on to the northwest last
night.
Mr. Holbrook, together with others,
has been largely responsible for the
alienation of the wholesale child
slavery in the south For five years
he went among the large manufacture
ing plants of the southern cities and
enlisted public opinion in the fight
against the employment of the half
grown child in work which is danger
Gus to health and growth. He has
been influential in securing legisla-
ton looking to the strictest enforce
ment of the school attendance laws,
and in this way has taken hundreds OF
children, ranging in age from ten to
sixteen years, from the coal mines of
West Virginia and North Carolina.
Speaking of conditions in the west
and Utah in particular. he said that
no child labor problem existed. The
nearest approach he said, was to be
found in salt Lake, where little street
gamins, who have never seen the in
side of a school room, sell papers year
in and year out.

With a legacy From Europe.

An instance where q man was moro
contented to be a section foreman than
to become partial foir to $4,000 was the

ing at Centerville, left his home in Wash

NO VACATION FOR
BUSY UTAH BEES
A. G.. Anderson Proposes to
Take His Hives to CaIifor-
MIA in Fall.

An innovation in the handling of the
bee industry has been proposed and will
undoubtedly be carried out by A G..
Anderson of Ferron. Utah. Mr.. Ander-
son believes that the bee has too long
a vacation, and proposes to take his
hives to California during the winter
months and secure a honey crop and
then return to Utah in the summer. By
this method he says he will be able to
get two crops during the year instead
Of one.
Information to this effect was con-
veyed in a letter to H. w. Robinson of
Garvanza, Cal, written by Secretary J.
L. Perkes of the chamber of commerce
in answer to questions in regard to the
honey industry in this state.
The letter to Mr.. Robinson follows:
The bee industry is considered a profit
able industry in this state. There are
not many stands in salt Lake county,
due to the smelter smoke which pre-
vailed up to two years ago; but in other
parts ct the state where there are no
smelters the industry fiourishes
7 am informed that the growers get
about 515 cents a pound at the farm,
and a little better than this where the
honey is delivered at the railroad sta
ton. Last year, owing to the late frost,
the crop was not so large as usual in
eastern Utah, but in other sections the
usual amount was gathered.
"A. c. Anderson of Ferron, Utah, one
Of the large growers of honey bees and
one of the best posted men in the bust
ness, is contemplating moving his bees
to California for the winter season and
bringing them back to Utah for the
summer, thus securing two crops per
year. Mr.. Anderson will doubtless give
you any information you desire"

CATTLE
ARE DYING FAST
"BlaCk Leg" Is Prevalent, and
All Herds Are to Be Vac

Indian cattle on the Uintah reservation

Guilty. The Indian flOckmasters strenu-
ously objected at first and it was neces-
sary for a squad Of government cavalry
troops to accompany the veterinarian and
the agent over the reservation ranges.
Practically every herd will be vaccinated.
BLACK leg" is unusual at this season
OF the year and its origin is puzzling the
authorities
It is supposed that the fact that the
grazing this summer has been exception
ally sOOd in the water hole bottoms thus
causing the cattle to COngregate in these
places instead CT seeking healthier noun
tam pastUrage, has something to do with
the outbreak
William Walsh one Of the largest In

lost 100 cattle from the disease.
