at an early hour this morning after
escorting President McCrea and party
over the Salt Lake division. Discuss
ing the trip briefly with a reporter
this morning, Superintendent Manson
said.
President McCrea was enthusiastic

equipment of the Hartman roads and
was especially interested in inspecting
the Ogde-Lucin cutoff, which he pro-
| nounced a marvel Of engineering ac-
complished even in this day OF scien-
titlc railroad construction
"He is a civil engineer of wide and
varied experience, having served in
that capacity for many years, and
readily grasped and fully appreciated
the reduction of grades and important
Improvements made since his last trip
over the Southern Pacific, before the
| cutoff was built, when he went over
Kelton. He was quick to note the adj
vantages OF the lake crossing and the
| special was run slowly in order to
give him ample time to note every inn

! He is at the head of the PennSyl-
vania system. and some idea of the
magnitude of the business transacted
over the various lines of that road
may be obtained from his statement
that the interchange of traffic on that
SYSTEM at Pittsburg alone. amounts to
! eight thousand loads daily during the
| entire year. He has climbed the rail-
road ladder from the lower round to
the very top and is thoroughly famil-
lar with every detail of track condi-

Z HE THINKS OGDEN COURSE is
SOMETHING OF A JOKE.
Governor Likes Horse Race, So Does
Harry Joseph, But Both De-
prccate the Betting.

Governor Spry is not inclined to be
optimistic regarding Ogden's chances
Tor securing the state capital. In
TACT. as a resident of Salt Lake. he
looks upon the matter as something OF
Joke. In company with f. S. Joseph,
president of the State Industrial
school board, the governor paid Og-
den visit today and expressed him
self freely on the subject which Is
paramount in the minds of the local
public.
Il am unable TO see much chance
for Ogden to. secure the state CAPT
tai said the governor, I'm fact. the
changing Of the present location would
be unconstitutional. The state con-
stitutlon of Utah designates Salt Lake
as the capital city and to accomplish
any change would necessitate chang
ing the constitution. This could be
done by popular vote of the people.
of course, in four years time. but 1t
can hardly be brought about under any
circumstances ! think Salt Lake, as
the leading city Of the state. is en-
titled to the capital and that 1t would
be a mistake TO institute a change al
this time"
The governor, changing the subject,
expressed himself as in favor OF
clean" horse racing but did not par
ticularly commit himself as favorably
impressed with the ook-making game
and the wholesale gambling which
constitutes the major part of the sport
az at present conducted
II like to see a good horse race,
myself" said he, land l think 1t is a
sport which could be encouraged at
any time, provided the element OF
wholesale gambling could be eliminat-
cd. doubt II it h as brought much
il any money into the state and | am
certain that 1t has attracted a host or
AIRY residence"
President Joseph, when asked re-
garding the capital agitation, said:
"As a Salt Laker. am, OF course,
antagonistic TO any move on the part
Of anyone to take the capital else
where than Its present location. Salt
Lake is entitled ~ it. Out of an as
sessed valuation Of $72000.O00 for the
state. Salt Lake Is credited with $751;
000,000 or about so per cent. Why
shouldn't she he the capital? AS Salt
Lake grows, the state at large grows
proportionately. What helps the state,
helps Salt Lake, and vice versa
cannot look upon the proposition as
other than a joke"
Mr.. Joseph, joining in the talk on
horse racing, stated that he enjoyed
a good horse race, but that the book
making feature was, In his opinion.
undesirable.
II wish they could manage horse
racing" said he, "as they used to in
Kentucky. We didn't bet the way they
10 now and the sport fostered the
breeding of magnificent horse flesh
which made the state famous over the
whole world. If you find the local
turf exchanges more frequented since
the races were held here, 1t is because
the people have learned new game
and are anxious to play 1t, Probably
1t will be the same in Salt Lake after
they leave there. Book-making Is de-
moralizing and undesirable"
This evening Governor Spry Will be
entertained at supper by Supt. Heber
II. Thomas, at the Weber Club.

Year Without a Summer.

The year 1916 has a remarkable
cold weather record and is known as
the year without a summer" In
that year there was a sharp frost in
every month. and the people all over
the world began to believe that some
great and definite change in the earth
was taking place. The farmers used
to refer to II as "eighteen-huDdred
starve-to-death" Frost, Ice and snow
were common In June. Almost every
green thing was killed and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. During the
month snow fell to the depth Of three
inches In New York and Massachu-
setts and ten inches In Maine. There
were frost and Ice In July in New
York. New England and Pennsylvania
and corn was nearly all destroyed in
certain sections. Ice half an inch
thick formed In August A cold north
wind prevailed all summer.
