available sum does not take account Of

sion decided. soon after three quarters
Of million of dollars came TO il from
the estate Of j. H. Hartman, that
there was no need Of haste in putting
out the bond issue, since there was on

competition. The commissioners have
had all Of the plans before them since
January ID. The different designs we're
studied with most eXactiug care. 1t
is small wonder that there was differ
ence of opinion among the commits
sioners. for all of the designs were Of
Il high order Of excellence.
The programme of the adrchitects
competition was published last Septcm-
ber Seven foreign and fifteen local
competitors were fixed as the limit Of
the architects who might enter the
competition. Three designs prepared
by foreign architects were submitted
and six prepared by local architects.
In some cases Salt Lake architects
combined and submitted designs in
which moro than one firm had a part
in the preparation. The first call of
the commission provided that all de-
signs should be handed in by January

request Of some Of the architects, the
time was extended to include January

overlooks the valley of the Great Salt
Lake, and the lake itself At its foot

The view of the grounds, which are
called Capitol Hill is an inspiring one,

4 franchise for street car line has
been granted to reach the capitol from
Main street, which is west Of the capi-
tol site. A proposition to run the car
line up State street was frowned upon
for the reason that the tracks would
mar the beauty of the perspective. Also
il was deemed possible to get an easier
grade by way of Main street
With four months for the prepara-
ton of the working plans, and the ad-
ditional time required for advertising

intention Of the capitol commi ssion TO
begin actual construction work by Sep.

The Remsen referee board, around
which much information conferred last
summer, is said to be legally consti-
tuted, but its activities as supervis-
ing power over the bureau OF chemis-
try are declared to be outside OF the
law. -

to have regarded the findings of this
board as conclusive in all cases over

reau of chemistry, the tribunal which
by express terms of statute is vested
with authority to determine the ques-

The committee declares the board
should not be continued under the
simple authority of an executive to ex-
ercise such control over the pure food

New York, Jan. Ex-senator Elihu
Root in an address here stanchly
defended both the state and federal
courts Of the country and denounced
the principle underlying the recall OF

Speaking of the increasing tendency
among Americans toward Impotence
with the courts whenever judicial
decisions do not agree with their
wishes, Senator Root said the provis-
ions for the recall of judges already
adopted in some states and widely adj
vocated in others, were an exhibition
of this impotence and demand for
more unchecked opportunity to make
