cute Those Who Misrepre-
sent Their Goods.

Al meeting Wednesday afternoon OF
the state food and dairy bureau. IN the
office Of Willard Hansen. state food and

be served upon him, and other arrests
will follow. II Is announced
The decision OF the board came as a
result OF a recent investigation Of the

concerns. II was learned that In many
cases where goods were sent out In
wholesale lots they were improperly Ia
bced or were inferior I'm quality Re-
Gently the food and dairy department
purchased an order OF goods through
man in the northern part OF the state,
and an analysis OF the goods showed
them to he Inferior. In some cases they
were under weight and IN other cases
they were OF unlawful quality.
Immediately moro Investigations were
begun. until several local concerns have
been warned and several others in the

this class OF business.
1t Is said that farmers In various parts
OF the state have been patronizing the
fraudulent concerns largely and have al
most invariably lost through the deals.

while trains might have been slightly
delayed on account of soft track on GER
tain parts OF the lines. there was no
serious delay on through traffic.
Information received from the scene
OF the slide on the Heber City branch
OF the Denver ~ Rio Grande In Provo
canyon was 10 the effect that The work
Of clearing the track was progressing as
fast as possible and that the limo would
likely be open within the next Two or
three days.
Local oficers Of the Western Pacific
stated late last night that they were
hourly expecting word that the Inc was
open for traffic. The Oregon Short Line
trouble, cast OF McCammon, was repaired
by noon Wednesday and trains started

but their views on the liquor question diff
fer materially. Representative Pope eX-
planned that under the provisions of the
measure which would pass the legislature
all saloons would be closed on Sunday
and that in so far quist was concerned
services might as we'll be held in the sa-
looms.
Banging his fist on the table. Senator
Wilson leaped TO his feet and declared
that he did not propose TO take any. such
insult. lie said that he was a church
member and would not stand for the sug-
gestion that church services be held in
saloons. He declared that the sugGes ion
was insulting. The chairman pro TEN
restored order with difficulty and both
Pope and Wilson said they would con-
slider the source OF the trouble and do no
more. Each was aroused considerably,
however. and they had not calmed down
when an adjournment was taken.
Distance Is Reduced.
Senator Kuchler finally secured an
amendment TO the Badger bill changing
the distance proposed from 500 To 300 feet.
The discussion OF the distance from the
ater was also considered, but was not
acted upon. Senator Kuchlcr pointed out
that under the proposed law II was pos
sible for moving picture thesler to 10.
cate beside saloon and force the saloon
to close. even though the saloon was long
established and OF good reputation.
This question was under discussion
when the committee adjourned.
