SALT LAKER
MEETS DEATH
Planned to Bring Wife to Salt Lake
At the Close Of the
Season

Salt Lake City, July 31.-With
only four weeks more to ride, Odin
Johnson, who was killed at the La
COON motordome across the river
from Cincinnati last night, had been
making preparations to return to Salt
Lake with his wife in order that
when her child was born she might
be among her relatives. Johnson on
Tuesday telegraphed his mother at
1886 + street to the effect that he
was doing fine and had saved $3.50
so far.
Johnson married Miss Elizabeth
Jensen, modiste and the daughter
Of 7. c. Jensen, 1929 Eight East
street, December in Salt Lake last
year. Although he had known her
previously, he first began to pay her
serious attentions after she had been
injured at the Wandamere motordome
on the night of July 4, 1912.
On that night Harry Davis, while
attempting to organize flying start
in the second heat of the class b
professional four mile race together
with F. M. Duckworth and Odin
Johnson, was killed. The accident
was similar to the one in which John.
son lost his life.
Davis had attempted to ride around
and above johnson when mis- motor
cycle struck light post and hurled
him into the air, while the motorcycle
created havoc among the spectators.
Several other persons were seriously
injured and among them was Miss
Jensen. After a courtship which last.
ed five months the couple were mar.
ried and were said to be very happy.
Johnson was born on February Is,
1889 at 1886 street, where his par
ents still live. He attended the pub.
lie schools in this city and was re-
garded as an exemplary student. He
began riding motorcycles at the Wan
damere motordome track during the
season Of 1910 and during the 1911
season won the reputation of being
one of the most daring riders in this
city. He won may prizes here. Ben
Johnson brother, according to the
mother, is engaged at present in the
same line Of work at Detroit.
At the time of his death Johnson
was captain of the Cine matt team
and had written his rider friends in
this city that he expected to take
first money in the immediate future.
A peculiar feature of last nights
accident is the fact that the boy that
was killed due to Johnson's accident
was named William Davis.

which is being prepared under the aus
pieces of the federation by leading bot
anists of the state. Women are urged

Water from Kenosha Mains
is shown to be Greatly I'm
proved at This Time.
COUNT FOR BACTERIA IS Low

Members of the board of water COM
missioners and the health board are
decidedly gratifed by the results shown
in the last tests Of the water taken
from the city mains and it is certain
that the chlorination plan has done
much to improve the water Since
june 9th, the date when the last re-
port of tests made by the department
was given to the public, sixty-two sam
plies of water have been tested and in
but two Of the samples tested has
there been found any sign Of the colon
baccilli. In addition to this fact the
count of bacteria in the water is rus
ming very low. In tests made on Fri
day and Saturday of last week the
bacteria count ran as low as four and
the highest found in the past ten days
was 1900 The reports of these tests in
dictate that the water in the Kenosha
mains in all parts Of the city is rea-
sonably free Of disease breeding germs
and it is certain that all of the water
would be declared safe by the state
experts. The tests are being made over
as wide a territory as possible and
water from mains in every part Of the
city has been included in the recent
tests. II has been found that frequent
flushing Of the mains has done much
to make the water at the so-called
dead ends of mains much better
fitted for use.
With the city testing department
working perfectly the board Of health
will be in position to issue warnings
against The use Of water rom any
mains when the test shows that it is.

OF the question OF better plans for
legislative procedure would be the con
tlnuous legislative session. There are
g great many people who believe that
no real result will be obtained along
the line Of lettering the legislative
work until the sessions Of the legisla-
ture are made continuous. These peo-
pie do not intend by this plan that the
legislature shall remain in session all
the time, out intend that it shall mere
y be constructivelv in session, meet
ing perhaps once a month fol. four or
five day sessions at which calendar
work is to be accomplished and then
allowing the committees to meet in the
interim for the discussion Of bills.
Many men who have given the ques-
ton Of state legislative procedure care
ful study believe this is the only true
solution of the problem.
Of course the members Of the legis-
fature would have to be paid much
more under a plan of continuous ses-
sions than they are paid now. On the
other hand, the advocates Of the CON
tinuous session generally believe that
the numerical size of both houses
should be reduced if the continuous SEES
sion plan is adopted and the assem-
bly, will be limited to possibly fifty
members and the senate to twelve or
fourteen members As to the ques-
ton Of the cost, when the people learn
that the legislative branch of govern
ment is really the most important they
will probably not object to the ex-
pense.
Changes in the legislative procedure
would be welcome in other ways, as
many of the members Of the present
legislature believe that some Of the
red tape in connection with legisla-
ton could be abolished and that this
is itself would have a tendency to re-
duce the length of the session.

some time to pass law on the subject.
AS matter of fact, this legislature
has made no very radical changes in
the game laws Of the state. a bill
to repeal the spring shooting law was
pressed a little but did not attract a
great deal Of attention for the reason
that the occasion for this law has
largely passed away by reason of The
fact that the decision that the swamps
on .ueandering streams are navigable
waters has placed game clubs in a po-
sition where they cannot monopolize
the hunting in the weeds and has thus
given an opportunity for the hunter
who is not a member of club or has
not private hunting preserve to shoot
aquatic game in the fall. In fact
several of the members of the legis-
lature who in former years have been
advocates of spring shooting have,
since the decisions of the courts as re-
CARDS the rights Of the individual to
shoot in water which can be navigat-
ed by boats, declared that there was no
reason now for a spring shooting law.
The most of the changes which have
been made in the game laws this year
have been slight changes in regard to
the seasons for fishing for game fish
on the different lakes Of the state.
There have been few changes of this
character but they have none Of them
been of very much Importance.
A better codifcation of the game
laws is one of the things which is de-
sired by the hunters and fishermen Of
the state who think that the game
laws should be codifed in much the
same manner as the town laws are at
the present time so that hunters and
fishermen could obtain copies Of the
codifcation from the state and know
exactly what the laws in regard to
each locality are.

IN 1908, the big returns began.
Three cutting of hay returned 21k

were pastured on this alfalfa from the
time of the first cutting until Decem-
Der. The pigs were bought when

they weighed As, so and so pouESe,
and when they were weighed in the
middle of December they averaged
l25 pounds. Counting a gain of IS
pounds per head and allowing $4,000
for about 200 bushels of corn fed
to the hogs, and figuring the pork at
3 cents per pound, these hogs re-
turned $4,000; the hay was worth
$4,000, total s657.O0 from six acres
or $4,000 per acre. Contrary to the
results in many other cases this pas
turing did not hurt the alfalfa and
was repeated without harm the next
year.
In 1909, this piece of alfalfa yielded
31a tons per acre in three cuttings
and pastured SO hogs from the time
the alfalfa was four inches high in
the spring until August IA, when Sc

The horses at the Central Engine
House are on their last legs as it is
announced today that the new motor
driven patrol wagon and the new

is thought that both of them will be

hogs and rs pigs bought at that time
q. is estimated that the SO hogs which
weighed Is or so pounds in the spring
made a gain of as pounds per head.
The ones sold in August averaged
1872 pounds and those kept till later
225. Counting only so hogs and moth
ing for the pigs, they returned, after
paying for the $50 bushels of corn
fed, $4,000 to the credit of the alfal-
ia alone; the hay was worth $27S.00;
total $695.0O, or S115.50 per acre.
This alfalfa was not injured by this
extra hard treatment but some parts
of it were frozen out last winter, and
this spring the field was disked and
cross-disked and the thin spots re-
seeded, securing fair stand While
many doubt that alfalfa is suited to
Illinois, not having examined the evi-
