When it was first introduced into
European farm yards in 1880, the peo-
pie named it on the theory that it was
an Asiatic fowl The Germans for
while called it CaIicut cock; the French
still call it Dinda or India fowl, and
the English call it Turkey fowl, but
the oriental country from which it
came, according to the theory Of John
blske, was really Mexico.

world and surrounded by more desert on
all sides When discovered 1t was very
lonely and was avoided by the coyotes
because of its climate and lack of shade.
But man has improved Utah until she
blooms with roses and raises enough
grain to feed herself in spite of the fact
that she exceeded the speed limit Tor
many years in raising families.
Utah was not intended for human
residence any more than Texas was, but
when the MormOns located there IN 1S43
the were too tired to 60 on, and besides
the country had been getting steadily
worse for 500 miles. So they borrowed
all the rivers in the vicinity and turned
them onto the desert. Water a stock
and it will produce automobiles, private
Yachts and congressional Investigations.
Water a desert and it viii produce bum
per crops. In the spring the Utah
farmer chases a river over his land and
in the summer he piles dust over the
ground and waits for the harvest. Dry
farming Is very successful IN Utah, and
is not as eXasperatlng as dry farming
in Maine.
Utah Is famous for its MOrmOns, who
have built great churches and industries,
and who work together in politics better
than Tammany hall. Politics in Utah
doesn't concern itself with the tariff.
The only issue is the Mormon vote, and
it takes pretty good bait nowadays to
catch it.
Utah is also famous for its great Salt
Lake. across which the Southern Pacific
has built the longest bridge in the world

JEFFERSON WILL BE
 ALL SLTCKED JP

There is every probability that the coming winter will see several changes in the schedules and steam CTS of the Alaska Steamship Com pany's fleet. The Jefferson is due for a thorough overhauling that will take two or three months time and the probabilities are that the Cor dova will be put on the run in her place. The latter vessel has dem onstrated that she can take care of the business both as far as accomo- dations and speed are concerned. On a recent trip up from the Sound af- ter coming off the dry dock she made the run from Seattle in less than fifty hours which is about as good, as the Jefferson was ever able to do. Tue Cordova's state rooms which are two berth" are big and airy, and she can carry bet ter than fifty first class passengers.

CUTTER GETS NEW GUNS.
Revenue Craft Itasca Sails for Bos-
ton to Take Up Duties.

The revenue cutter Itasca, which had
been lying at the navy yard here for sew
eral days receiving new armament, yes
terday completed the taking aboard Of
new guns. and has sailed for Boston
where she will be on duty this winter.
After taking the cadets Of the school
of instruction on their annual summer
cruise of instruction, the Itasca re-
ceived an overhauling at the repair sta
ton of the service at Arundel Cove,
Md. and after going to Newport News,
where she was cleaned and painted. she
came up to this city for her guns.
The Itasca will make all haste to
Boston to take up winter cruis-
ing service on the Boston station in
place of the cutter Gresham, which is to
be given a general overhauling at Arun-
del cove. The supplying of the cutter
with new guns is in line with the policy
of the Treasury Department to keep its
ships ready for efficient service at all
times. Within the past year practically
all the cutters on the Atlantic coast sta
tions have been supplied with new guns
at the naval ordnance factory on the
Eastern branch.
