Democrats Meet
Platform Says State Delegation in
Congress Does Not Represent
Interests of the State,

MITCHELL, s. d., July s.--(special.)-
The democratic state convention at Red
field adopted a platform for the coming
campaign which denounces the attitude OF
the state delegation at Washington as not
representing the interests Of the people
OF this state when they voted for so many
things Objectionable in the Payne tariff
law IT demands an honest revision down
ward. The administrations OF Crawford
and Wesley are denounced for the extr0va-
gance manifested. Some Of the new fea-
lures OF democracy are thus outlined: A
plank endorses the idea OF having the
electors OF any city or town express their
preference for q postmaster rather than
to have one appointed through the old
system OF congressional endorsement de-
nouuce the so-called deposit guaranty law
adopted by the last legislature; favor the
assessment of all public service corpor-
alton property on the same basis of all
other property; pledged the party against
the multiplication OF offices and salaries,
and made a severe. structure on the re-
publican legislature to try and care for so
many members of the party; endorse the
idea Of having the members OF the soldiers
home at Hot Springs formulate their own
rules and regulations for the government
OF the home, and also permit the old SOL
diers to name the candidate for command
ant, whose appointment is to be made by
the governing board; favored Legislation
to fix the freight rates in this state on
the mileage basis, and to be no higher
than the rates voluntarily made by the
| railroad companies from points outside
the state to points inside the state; fav-
ored an amen6ment T. the constitution al
lowing the state to engage in internal inn
provements and to permit the state to con-
| struot and operate the same for the serv-
| ice OF the people; favored the making of
state law for the appointment of a non
partisan board which shall have the power
to make the appropriations for the educa-
| tional and penal institutions of the state
and eliminate that work from the state
| Legislature. which permits the institution
counties to form combinations for the pas
sage of such laws as may or may not be
| detrimental.
Two years ago a plank was adopted by
the convention, presented by ex-senator
Pettigrew. which exempted all homesteads
| from taxation which were worth s2500. Mr.
Pettigrew presented the same plank al
this convention and desired it's adoption
as a part of the platfrom again. After
long discussion the members decided
against it and it was not permitted Il
become a plank therein. Pettigrew helC
that it permitted and encouraged the build
ing of a greater number Of homes by tn,
man of moderate means.
There were about 100 democrats presen
at the convention and after the platform
was made the rest Of the time was spen
in sort Of a lovefeast.

RUSso-JAPANESE AGREEMENT
Gossip that 1T VIII Close the Open
Door th AIanchuria At
tracts Attention.

BERLIN. July S.-The iveliest interest
is felt in official circles regarding the
Russo-Japanese agreement. the text OF
which has not yet been forwarded to tho
German government.
The maintenance Of the status quo, which
the agreement is ostensibly intended TO
secure, is considered most desirable. The
most delicate point in the agreement
refers, according to the semi-official Frank
turter Zeitung, to the understanding to act
mutually on the defensive against the M
PREVENTION by any third power in Maneau-
ria. which still belongs to China The
agreement therefore, cannot be directed
against China.
1t is pointed out that America obtained
from China a concession for the Chinchow
railroad ana the question is now raised LerS
whether the agreement is intended to CD
pose Americas unwelcome intrusion in the
Russo-Japanese sphere Of influence. II
So the agreement is taken to mean tht
closinI of the open door.

CONCRETE BUILDERS
ASK FOR REGULATION
Contractors Point Out Need for
Careful Expert Inspection
of All Work.

Salt Lake contractors who make a
speciality Of concrete work arc emphatic
in their statements that one of the
greatest needs of the city is for some
provision whereby all work Of this class
can be carefully inspected in the course
Of construction. Safety of the public
and the regulations of the reliable con
tractors, as we'll rs the concrete indus
try. are factors in this demand for OK
pert inspection and supervision, the
contractors say, and IL is probable that
the needs along these lines will be
brought to the attention of the city
council within the next few weeks.
One instance illustrating the need for
this supervision was related by local
business man Saturday, and hls story
was given as an illustration of the
needs of the contractors. In this in
stance, ho said, the contract for the ce-
ment work on small store building
was sublet, the agreement being that
the general contractor should build and
erect the wooden forms or moulds and
the cement contractor was simply to
fill these moulds with concrete Of speci-
fed grade. The forms were built cheap
ly and quality was sacrificed to save
few dollars. When the forms were
put III place they were braced In a
flimsy manner with LIGHT timber Of poor
grade. The result was that when the
forms for the pillars and rafters were
filed with concrete they leaked and
during, the process of hardening the
weight Of the concrete caused the forms
to sag,
The cement contractor refused to
continue his part Of the work until
the forms were properly braced, while
the general. contractor talked about for
feiture of bonds and construction was
halted until finally the general contrac-
for put in some extra braces. The ce-
ment contractor maintained that, while
his contract was simply to fill the
forms or moulds as they were placed,
the building would have been rendered
unsafe through the sagging Of the con"
crete beams ii course Of hardening and,
although later this cause would not be

DRUG COMPANY INSTALLS
NOVEL TELEPHONE SYSTEM

Something novel In the way OF tcle-
phone service has been installed in the
Schramm- Johnson drug stores at Salt
Lake. All five stores owned by the COM
pany. although widely distributed about
the business district Of the city. get their
telephone calls through one number and
have the same telephone facilities as II all
establishments were under the same
roof.
The Bell Telephone company has just
installed private switchboard Tor the
drug company In one of its stores. and all
calls for Schramm- johnson are passed
directly to the operator at this switch
board, All the stores arc connected di-
rectly with the private switchboard. and
may be reached instantly through 1t. 1t
is thus possible 10 take orders for any
least possible loss of time or to reach
any person connected with the company
without having 10 'chase him all over
town by telephone For illustration, a
call for MIR. Schramm or Mr.. Johnson
would be passed to either OF the men
named through the private exchange and
a single call would be sufficient 10 reach
him. no matter in which of the stores
he chanccd to be. The same practice ap-
plies In the case of orders for goods or
prescriptions. Two telephones arc at the
prescription case in each store, and pre-
scriptions are delivered directly TO the
prescription clerks. The new arrange
ment is proving great convenience for
patrons OF the stores as well as Tor the
company'S EMPLOYEES.

FELT BUILDING NOW
NEARING COMPLETION
Increasing Demand for Office
Rooms Balances Great In
crease in Supply.

Steam filters have practically com
pleted their work on the Felt building
on Main street. adjoining the Boston
building, and the new office structure
viii be ready for occupancy by March
10. Steam has been turned on to
facilitate the work of the plastercrs
and large force is now engaged in
laying the cement floors.
The last shipment Of marble and til
ing for the interiors arrived last week,
and the selected mahogany for the
wood work is being dried so that the
carpenters and cabinet makers will be
able to begin their work within few
days, following the plasterlng and lay
ing of floors.
Two high speed elevators are being
placed in the building, and it will be
equipped in modern manner TO the
smallest detail.
OF the 135 suites OF rooms, about 40
per cent of the space has already been
leased and it is probable that within
a week after the building is completed
more than one.half of the rooms will
be occupied, The. Minneapolis Steel
company will furnish a suite of SIX
rooms and the Mutual Life. Insurance
company of New York will furnish the
top floor suite at the northwest corner
Of the building for the intermountain
agency of the company. Furnishings
for this suite will be to match the
mahogany woodwork of the building
Civil, mining and hydraulic engi-
neers, architects and lawyers make up
the greater part of the reservations in
the building to date,
Office space in Salt Lake has in
creased nearly % per cent, accord
ing TO the estimates of rental agents,
but the rentals in the modern build
ings have been maintained and the
only drop has been in some of the older
buildings in the least desirable loca
tions. The increased supply Of rooms
has had its effect in bettering the
service in many OF the office buildings,
however. and to thfs extent the com
petition is welcomed by the business
men of the city.
When the Ncwhouse and Boston
buildings were opened the changes in
office addresses amounted to almost
an exodus from several of the old of
fee buildings. In the last thirty days,
however, the rental income Of one of
the large office buildings has risen to
a point $500 a month over the low
mark and there are few desirable rooms
now vacant.
