Rooklidge Magnanimous.

An unwritten law was very nearly
broken in the nomination of county
commissioners when the county dis.
tricts came within an inch Of failing
to get representation on the county
board ticket Indeed, had not one of
the nominees withdrawn, the Bull
Moosers would have gone on record
with both nominees for county com
missioner from the city.
1t has always been the recognized
prerogative of the county delegates in
every county convention to name one
Of the county commissioners. There
would probably have been no trouble
about it last night had the country del
egates been united on one man, and
put in little electioneering for their
candidate. AS they failed to take ad,
vantage of their opportunity, both
the candidates nominated on the ballot
were from the city, and but for the
magnanlmity of one Of them the county
would have been out Of it.
The following names were placed be-
fore the convention for the nomina-
tions of county commissioners, one for
four years and one for two years:
Jesse Wheeler of Murray, Charles D.
Rooklidge Of Salt Lake, s. A. Perry
of Bingham. A. Richter of Salt Lake,
and John X. Smith of Salt Lake. A
motion was adopted that the one receiv-
ing the highest number of votes be
declared the nominee for the four-year
term and the one receiving the next
highest number be the nominee for the
two-year term, providing, of course,
that each got a majority of the vote
cast. The ballot resulted:

Narrow Escape Before.

Lieutenant Rockwell was flying the
type d aerop]ane with which he mar
rowly escaped instant death at the
hydro-aeroplane school not quite two
weeks ago. The same machine was
used this morning shortly after day,
break by Lieutenant Dewitt Milling
who took as his passenger Frederick
Hennessy. whom ne was instructing In
the operation Of a Wright aero. At
that time the machine worked per.
fectly.
This is the fifth accident that has
occurred since aeronautics were intro
duccd into the army and is the second
to have occurred at College park With \
the past three months, Lieutenant B.
II. Haze)hurst and Charley Welch, a
professional Wright aviator, being
killed outright when a wing crumpled
under the strain Of spiral glide.
Agitation has recently been begun by
the officers of the aviation squadron OF
the army corps to secure increased pay
and high rank because Of the danger
to which they are daily subjected. II
has been confidently stated that the
next session of congress would double
their pay. Officers of the aviation
squadron are forced to cancel their life
and accident insurance with all the
large insurance comnanies when they
take up the science OF flying.
