santaquln Gives Heavy Democratic Ma
jority, Which Sends Vote OF
Jesse Knight Upward.

Provo, Nov. lo.--The slight chance for
the election OF Jesse Knight as repre-
sentative in the legislature has almost
vanished. With Santaquin counted,
lie still lacks g. votes, and there are
four small Republican precincts to be
heard from. viz: Clinton, Fairfield,
Cedar Fort and Highland. 1t is not
probable nor expected that they will
increase his vote over that of Charles
II. White. The returns from the un-
reported precincts will not be known till
the official count Monday.
Santaluin gave a heavy majority for
the Democratic party, cutting Whites
majority, which was previously 65.

solo de caza propiamente dicha Sc
trate Pero hay algo que debe eutar-
Sc y que supone graves perjuicios,.
Me refiero 4 la criticable costumbre
que particularmente en- los campos
de los alrededores de Ponce Sc v'ene
siguiendo, de matar pequehas aves
entire elias ruisehores que no sirven
como las palomas y otras de esa cla-
Sc para el alimento del eazador, nj
para satisfaction de su amor propio.
No Sc caza Wrdaderamente sino que
Sc reaiza una odiosa persecution
contra las peouehas aves de todas
clases, limitando de ese modo Ia pro-
pagacion de las especies y ocasionan-
do los consequences perjuieios.
Hemas visto muchas veces 4 caza-
dores que recorren nuastros campos
llevando una sarta de pequehas
aves, muchas de elias aun phones,
y sin una pieza de caza proplamente
dicha.
Ademas, nihos de IA l6 amos van
de cacerfa acompsnados 8 no de sus
mayores y estos por que no le es da-
bic hacer otra cosa mayor, Sc entire
tienen preferentemente disparar
sobre las pequeflas aves que va esca-
sean grandemente en- la comarca.
Debiera prohibirse especiilcamen-
te que ayes de cierta clase y de deter
minada edad fueran muertas para
protejer asi Ia propagation y evitar
las perjuieios CONSEQUENCES a Ia de-
saparlcion total de ruisehores, palo-
mas, tortolas Y demas que son per-
seguidas con gran encarnizaniento
por pequehos cazadores y aun por los
mayores. Nihos de menor edad no
deben usar escoperas aun que sean
acompahados por sus padres y ia
miliares.
Seguiremos ocupandonos de este
asunto que luzgamos de interes v
hasta otra con gracias por su corte-
sia queda de V.
