The intent OF this affidavit was to show

UTAH SHEEP NOW

According to e. II. Callister. president
of the Utah Wool Growers association
the sheep Of the state are in better con-

time OF the year for many years.
''The dry season." says Mr.. Calister.

much of the slushy matter and leaving
the stalks and blades more substantial.
This has had the effect of giving the
sheep more feed with less eXertion and
as result they are fat and their flesh

Surveyors Office Worst One.

The office of county surveyor is in ev-
cry respect the worst on the list, the re-
corder not excepted. II cost in 1895,
S335f Al. against receipts OF Si.75: in
1906. s5SS3.91 revenue $2Ii.50; In 1907.
S5i7I 81. revenue $50; In 1908 Si304 10.
and received absolutely nothing: In 1909,
cost S4179.6S, and received S33Ol0. SO
that an office that has cost In the past
four years SIS.322 50. has To its credit
only s552.25. net loss OF 81 per cent Of
its expense. This office should be abol-
ishcd. It has ever been incompetent and
the source Of petty and yajor graft. and
the present holder Is no exception 10 the

About Auditors Office.

The office OF county auditor cost In 1898
$6202 Al; IN 1909, S5529. 76, or a decreasing
ratio TO the revenue, which in itself is
good showing. and the only fault with
the office is that its monthly audits re-
worthy OF the name should be. For in
stance the auditor admitted but a short
time ago that lie had not audited the
books OF the, county surveyor for three
months past, which is n clear evasion of
the law, of which the county surveyor
has taken full advantage and most of
the fees coming into his office arc hisn
for keeps. Here arc the figures:

ALEXANDER Is OUT OF THE RACE
Conservatives Caucus on Which Candi-
date to Eliminate.

The process of elimination which has
been in progress among the followers of
the opposition to the Vardaman coffin
gent, starting with the withdrawal OF
W. d. Anderson and followed by that OF
Judge Critz, was still further advanced
by the withdrawal of c.. H. Alexander
from the race, which was the feature OF
the caucus Friday afternoon.
The retirement of Mr.. Alexander fol-
lowed q caucus of the senator's and rep
resentatives with the four candidates in
opposition to Vardaman.
Between ninety and a hundred men as
sembled, they having been notified that
there was to be an important confer
ence with the conservative" candidates.
There were no others admitted to the
caucus, and just what occurred by way
of getting at the matter of determining
who should drop out was not stated. The
proposition was the elimination of either
Mr.. Percy or Mr.. Alexander, and, as UNI
derstood, a ballot was taken, which re-
suited in the withdrawal of Mr.. Alexan-
der.
Mr.. Alexander accepted the result in
characteristic good-humored vein, thank
ing the men who had stood by him from
the start of his canvass and urging them
to stand together for the other men on
that side.
This being over, and the fact COM
municated to the caucus, the balloting
was begun, and the first ballot showed
a pickup all around, the thirty or more
Alexander votes having been v~ariously
distributed, though those profiting most
were Messrs. Percy and Kyle, Vardaman
securing several, as estimated by his fol-
lowers.
The second ballot of the evening show
ed a rather more decided gain for the ex-
governor, who attained to his maximum
for the series with a total of rs, and was
within ten votes of the nomination, the
nearest he has approached to that much
desired goal as yet.
Speaker Street continues to receive a
few votes on each ballot, and it remains
to be seen just what figure he will cut
during the next few days. He himself
is in a quiescent state of mind regarding
the matter.
The caucus adjourned until Monday
night, but the chances are there will not
be another ballot before "Wednesday
night, as enough members will be at
Mardi Gras to break the quorum Monday
and will hardly return to Jackson before
Wednesday,.

WAVES BLOODY SHIRT
IDAHO SENATOR WOULD RE
FUSE TENTS TO REUNION.
Wrong for Men in aRsbsl,s Uniform
to Use Government Property
ct Their Rounion.

Washington-The abloody shirt was
waved in the senate today probably fol
the last time, for the man who attempted
to reopen the CHASTITY wounds of section
al strife was so completely rebuked and
mortifyingly repudiated as to establish
beyond the peradventure of a doubt that
the senate of the United States never
again will tolerate q revival of the bit
terness that the lapse of years has as
suaged. By a vote of 60 to 1 the senate:
late this afternoon, adopted the joint res
olution introduced in the senate by Sena.
tor Bankhead of Alabama. authorizing
the war department to loan tents and
poles to the United Confederate Veter-
ans. whose next annual reunion will be
held in Mobile next April. The sixty
votes were cast by Democrats and Re.
publicans, TIE single vote was cast By
Senator Hepburn of Idaho, who before
the resolution. was submitted to a vote,
inflicted upon the senate a speech reek'
ing with hate and gall, the answer to
which was the adoption of the resolution
against which he ragged for an hour. Hey
burns own colleague, Senator Borah,
voted in the affirmative.
Senator Hepburn could not quit his
subject without attempting to besmirch
the fame Of Gen. Robert E. Lee, whose
statue in the congressional hall of fame
as Virginia's contribution, he opposed the
senate formally accepting. He referred
to Gen. Lee as a traitor and called upon
Virginia to stake back his statue" which
he said ..the state of Virginia must keep
as the likeness of one of it's heroes, but
which the people of America did not
want"
