other varieties, however, were well
represented.
CHAMPION TURKEY SHOWN.
In addition to the utility breeds, a
fine showing was made of bantams.
Some ducks also we're shown, and the
turkey department carried some
splendid specimens from the Bellevue
poultry farm at Roche Harbor, In
GLIDING the splendid specimen OF
American Mammoth Bronze turkey,
which weighs sixty-fve pounds and
holds the championship of America.
This bird, in addition to his great
size, is perfectly marked, the shades
of bronze on his feathers being par
ticularly beautiful. This bird is three
years old, and one or two OF his pro-
geny, which were also on exhibition,
at two years old, bid fair to acquire
even greater size and beauty than the
father bird.

Commissioners Likely TO Reconsider De-

There is a possibility that the old

have indicated that they may be in

stitute the old method. provided that suf-
hcient reason Ior the substitution is
shown.
It is likely that there will be henr-
Ing on the question before the county

heard. The Democratic and Progressive
organizations favor the old paper bal

while with the old ballots used they are

fear. or not being able TO manipulate the
mechanism OF the voting machine,
The Republicans are divided as to the
adyisability OF disseminating the use OF

this county IL the paper ballots are used
instead OF the voting machines. Friends
Of other popular members Of the Repub-
lican ticket are urging the discontinuance
OF the machine. 1t Is pointed out that
thero are many supporters of Colonel
Roosevelt who are still Republicans and
Who wish to cast their vote for the
Roosevelt electors and for the regular
state and county tickets. It Is argued
that with the machines used these voters
will flnd It difficult to vote their true
sentiments.
The most potent argument In favor of
the voting machines Is expediency. The
machines greatly facilitate the counting
OF the votes and saves considerable time
In getting the election returns Those
who defend the machines do so on this
ground and they are willing to concede
that the machines interfere with the reg

FIVE YEARS IN PEN
FOR W|NF F|ELD WOOD

Judge F. G, Loofbourow yesterday
sentenced Winfield Wood, who on June
10 attempted to murder Margaret Mar
tin, to term of five years in the
state penitentiary. When Wood ap.
peared for sentence in the criminal di-
vision Of the Third district court, Dis
trict Attorney E, o. Leatherwood de,
nounced him in bitter terms for his
conduct toward his wife and minor
children and his infatuation for the
Martin woman. Attorney Leatherwood
then asked the court to be as merciful
as possible on account of Mrs. Wood
and the children.
In passing sentence Judge Loot
bourow informed the prisoner that the
information in the case charged him
with assault with intent to murder and
assault with a deadly weapon. He in
formed him that if he were found
guilty Of both charges he might be
sentenced to term Of twenty. FIVE
years. Acting, however, on the recon-
mcndation Of the district attorney the
sentence was made five years on the
minor charge of assault with a deadly
weapon,

.|RR|CATOR IS HERE
FROM NUTMEG STATE
Pays Own Expenses Because
of Interest in Western
Methods of Watering.

A. A. Olds of Connecticut, represen-
tative Of the city of Hartford to the
National Irrigation congress, is one of
the few far eastern farmers interested
in irrigation projects. He is interested
because he has q project all his own
in Connecticut, where in the few dry
season he waters q 250-acre field Of to-
bacco by special irrigation method.
Mr.. Olds 8 farm is at Bloomfield.
The entire field is covered with Cuban
tobacco under canvas. All through the
field six.inch pipe is buried underneath
the ground with "risero pipes coming
to the surface every few hundred feet,
The water is forced through the pipes
by q centrifugal pump. The ground is
level and the water flows both ways
from the pipes.
fThis is the third year we have
tried irrigation, and it is remarkable
success. You know in our state we have
much rain, and there are few seasons
when the ground is dry. However, at
these times the water helps the tobacco
to such degree that the expensive
process Of watering it more than pays
For itself.
fBefore put in the irrigation pipes
we used to spend large sums for fer
tilizer. When my two boys graduated
from agricultural college they urged me
to spend this money for system Of
irTigation.''
While Mr.. Olds is an accredited dele.
gate to the congress appointed by the
mayor of Hartford, he is paving his
own expenses. there being few persons
IN his part of the country interested in
irrigation.

tectives Seager and Cleveland and held

JOHNSON To ANSWER
BEFORE COMMITTEE
Republican Nominee for Con-
gress Will Appear at Hear
ing Today.
BALLOT QUESTION UP
Commissioners May Reopen
Matter Of Using Paper In
stead of Machines.

Judge Jacob Johnson, Republican
nominee for congress, arrived in Salt
Lake yesterday to appear before the
state Republican committee to answer
charges brought against him by Repub
licnn workers in Salt Lake county
Johnson will enter vigorous denial
to the charges. The meeting of the
committee will be held today and John
son intends to make statement to
the committee and to the public, talk.
ing up the charges in detail and deny
ing them in every particular.
There are two general charges made
| against johnson in communication
filed with the state committee by a
Lake county. One Is that the nomina-
tion of johnson was obtained by means
of fraud and the other is that the
charges made against his personal char
acter are Of such nature as to de-
mand an immediate investigation. The
signers of the communication petition
the state committee for a hearing on
these charges.
The charge that johnson obtained his
nomination by fraudulent means is
made by friends of Harry S. Joseph,
They charge that there was ballot
stufling in Salt Lake and Utah
counties, that one Of the principal
workers in Johnson's behalf and who
voted for him was not regularly
elected delegate to the convention, and
did not hold the proxy Of regularly
elected delegate, and that twenty-five
delegates from Weber county voted for
Joseph, though he was credited with
only fourteen.
The other charge is based on COM
munication received by the state COM
mittee from Sanpete county, where
johnson resides, setting forth grave
charges against the personal character
of the nominee. The charges are given
In detail In categorical statement
made by resident of sanpete county.
To offset these charges Johnson says
he has proof to show that the nc.
cusations are false and malicious. He
also has statement from friends and
1eighbors living in Spring City setting
forth the fact that they have known
him for nearly forty years, and that
his character is above reproach.

FELONY GAMBLING
STATUTE IS UPHELD
Supreme Court Holds Validity
of Confiscation Section Does
Not Enter Into Case.

The state supreme court yesterday
handed down an opinion in the case OF
George Bruce against Joseph c. Sharp,
sheriff of Salt Lake county, holding
that a convition under the felony gam
bling law passed by the last legislature
is valid, regardless of whether or not
that section of the law pertaining to
the contiscation Of gambling parapher'
MALTA is valid.
Bruce was arrested for gambling and
made the defense in the lower court
that the confscation clause was Invalid
and hence all sections of the law be-
came invalid. He brought suit for
habeas corpus and lost. The case was
carried to the supreme court on the
same issue.
The supreme court without passing on
the validity of the section in question
holds that as there was no confiscation
in the Bruce case that issue cannot be
properly raised.
Another opinion Of the supreme court
and in the case of James Morgan
against Child, Cole company re,
verses the lower court and orders a new
trial Morgan had brought suit for
damages in the sum OF SlI,3 toT an
alleged violated contract for the sale OF
mining stock. He was non suited In the

A delegate to the Irrigation con-
press who has his own ideas well
worked out as to what the country
needs in the irrigation line is Colonel
J. T. Dougine, prominent inventor OF
Chicago. Colonel Dougine has In
vented several practical appliances for
use in irrigating and has model OF
one of his Inventions hydraulic

power from rapid currents-with him
to show to delegates to the convention:
lie has been for many years stan
writer of Irrigation Age, and Is well
known by irrigationists all over the
country. He is also vice president of
Inventors.
"The population of this country is
increasing rapidly" said he, "and it
is estimated that we will have a popu-
lation of 96,00o,0Oo in 1915. This num-
Der is estimated from the rate with
which the country's population has in
creased since 1776. That year there
were only 100000 here. Since then
we have doubled every twenty-siz
years
