THE PERSONNEL.

The primary election on Monday
last, September Sth, was warmly con-
tested by the anti organization forces
against the organization, and they were
defeated in nearly every district and pre-
cinct in the county. The election was
conducted fairly, and every candidate
stood on his merits, and was elected by
the popular vote of the Democratic
party Of the county
The ticket selected is an excellent
one, and is made up of the very best ma
terial from the ranks Of the Democracy.
Our candidate for Sheriff, Mr.. Conard,
is well known business man. He is
largely engaged in the agricultural i'm
plement business, and is exceptionally
well qualified to perform the duties as the
executive officer of the court.
Msssrs. Humm, Stevens and Mohler,
the nominees for County Commissioners,
are well known farmers, all self made
business men, and no better selections
could be made to conduct the business
affairs Of onr county, and they should
receive an unprecedented vote
Our candidate for County Treasurer,
Mr.. Frederick w. Cramer, needs no
introduction to his fellow-citizens. His
management of the Office for the past
two years, speaks for him as the right
man for the position
The candidates for the House of Del
egates, are all too well known to need
any commentator. Messrs. Bussard,
Wachter, Smith, Belt and Nelson are
men of intellect and thoroughly con-
versant with the needs of their fellow
citizens of the State.
The governing body of the State and
county are well known party men and
need no introduction, as they are all
capable and true members of the party,
and they will, as heretofore, carefully
and intelligently manage the intricate
political affairs of the county and State.
The fight is over and the candidates Sc
ected. 1t now becomes the duty of the
voters to bow to the will of the majcr-
ty and triumphantly elect them. No
doubt there were many disappointments,
as there were many candidates for each
position. 1t is hoped that all will cheer
fully support the nominees and redeem
The county from the Republicans who
have had control for so many years.

mittee, and the Progressives a majority
of the delegation to the State Conven-
tion,
We do not know how the men nomi-
mated for the various positions stand or
whether they are Regulars or Progress
siyes, but we hope aud believe that they
are all true Democrats.
And it Is Just as we'll that it is not
known to which wing the candidates, or
any of them belong, because to elect
them will require the votes of all Of the
Democrats in the county, both Regulars
and Progressives, hard shell and soft
shell. But we believe that if the Dem
ocratic party of Frederick county pulls
hard together, we can elect the whole
ticket now nominated. aud unless We do
all pull together we will be defeated.
The factions in the Democratic party
have a tendency to make the RepubE
can factions unite.
The Democratic party has nominated
a very GOOD ticket from top to bottom.
1t presents first class men for each and
all of the positions that are to be filled,
and all of them ought to be and can be
elected.
And with this ticket we have to meet
and defeat a party utterly divided and
weakened by its record and long lease Of
power in the county. 1t is greatly to
be deplored and regretted that the
Democrats had the contest, as
there was not the slightest reason for it,
except purely personal reasons or ambi
tions, and this cannot be denied and must
be admitted by all candid Democrats.
AS to the Primary Law it was not a
success as we must view this test.
In the first place, but little over half
of the voters went to the polls, and but
little attention and consideration was
given to the Importance Of the duty of
the primary vote.
The people do not seem to be prepared
for it, or care to prepare themselves tor
it. Besides it will create bitterness and
dissensions, and it is much more expen-
sive than the old system. 1t may work
better after the people get familiar with
it and take more interest in it.
Now that the primary is done and
over there is but one thing for all Dem
ocrats to do, and that is, to forget all
of the contests of the primary, and let all
of the bitterness be wiped out, and every
Democrat take off his coat and work for
every man on the ticket and elect every
candidate nominated and float the old
Democratic flag in triumph to the breeze
once again.

1t has been estimated that British Co
lumbia has an area of about 253,o 900
acres, OF which about I,6oo, 600 acres is
composed of lakes in the interior. There
are over 100, 600, 900 acres of timber land
OF no value for farming other than for
stock purposes, and while it is estimated
that 5000. 900 acres is either under cult
vation or partly SO, statistics show that
the actual yielding acreage, other than
for grazing purposes, is not more than
$50, 900 acres.

Prevented Accident to President.

Saving President Wilson from possible
harm when he was out strolling and was
nearly run down by a street car. John
Croft, former deputy sheriff of this county
and a brother of Messrs. David and

Saturday for his prompt work in warding
off danger TO the President, who did not

1t seems worthy of remark that while
France took almost half of the large cof
fee crop OF jamaica last year, amounting
10 81, 336,976, the United States took only
1916 per cent Of this excellent article, and
the United Kingdom only 81 per cent of
this valuable crop of its most important

AFTER all it is not unwise to trust to
the good judgment of the people. The

SNOWFALL HEAVY
ONLY IN VALLEY
Storm of Monday and Tuesday
Not Severe in Mountains,
Is Report

Reports from City Creek aud Par
ley's canyon received by Superintend-
ent C. K Barrett of the water de-
partment yesterday indicate that the
snowfall along the city's watersheds
was much lighter than in the valley.
From Parley's canyon it Was reported
that little more than an inch Of snow
fell Tuesday night and that a total OF
only seven inches had fallen through
out the two"day storm. Out of the
mouth Of the canyon and throughout
the greater part of the valley the fall
was approximately one foot, according
to the average of advices received by
the water officials.
In City Creek ten inches fell near
the high line reservoirs, but lower
down the canyon the fall was not SO
heavy as in the city itself. No report
was received from Cottonwood canyon
but it is expected that it will exceed
that of the other watersheds owing to
the fact that the center Of the storm
passed over the valley in that direc.
tion. Heavy SHOWS have been common
in Big Cottonwood since early last fall
and the water officials are confident
that the water supply from that shed
will be ample for the city's needs dur
ing the coming summer.
The report of the weather bureau on
snowfall for January, received by the
water department yesterday, shows
practically normal conditions. taking
the entire watershed of the city as a
whole.

PECULIAR TAXATION
PROBLEM HAS ARISEN

Whether taxes can be assessed on
property acquired by the board OF edu-
cation between the time the assessment
for general taxes is made and the time
the tax is collectible, is problem that
has arisen between the local board of
education and the county officials.
Attorney I. Z. Wiley yesterday ad.
dressed a communication to the county
commissioners advising them to proceed
to collect the tax against iust such a
piece of property for which the school
board has claimed exemption.
Under the law all school property is
exempt, but the issue in this case is
whether the date of requirement ante
dates the period of assessment for the
current year. The matter may have
to be threshed out in the courts

STEEL FLUME TO
BE BUILT SOON
Commissioners Appropriate $325O
for Work and Authorize Con-
struction This Spring.

The city commission yesterday ap-
prOprlatcd $325O with which to build q
400foot steel fume on the Salt Lake
& Jordan canal to replace the worn-out
wooden structure which has carried the
waters Of the canal to the Mill Creek
farmers for the past thirty years. The
money was appropriated on the recon-
mendation OF the city engineer and
the water superintendent, who In
spccted the fume last week and filed
their report Tuesday. This will work
the entire wooden conduit with steel.
The construction work will be under
taken in time to permit of the transfer
of water by April Is, when the irriga-
tion season opens. 1t is expected that
nearly as much again of the water the
city is entitled to in the canal can be
accommodated by the new fume, which
will result in the city receiving more
exchange water In the mountain
streams.
No abatement of the ''garage' Ii
cense tax will be made by the commits
sion, as prayed for by delegation of
local dealers recently. On recommends
tion of G. l.. Whitney, license collector,
the petition was denied yesterday on
the ground that to abate this tax might
establish precedent under which other
forms Of licensed business might seek
similar relief.
The auto dealers complained that it
was an injustice to tax them for gar
ages 80 long as they were paying
the regular merchant license. They
ask that the license be abated as con-
cerned the dealers, but held in force
against public garages which do not
handle cars for sale. Mr.. Whitney of
the license department answers this
argument with the point that tho
owners Of public garages might seek on
the same score to escape the merchants

CAPTAINS MEET
AT BANQUET BOARD
Sixteen Officers Of Twentieth
United States Infantry
Gather for Feast.

The sixteen captains of the Twen'

banquet in the presidents suite in
the Hotel Utah last night. 1t was
the first time that the full quota OF
Officers had been together for years
and is considered an unusual event n
veteran member of the orchestra from
the fort said last night that he had
been In the regular army for twenty
years and it was the first time that
he had known of all the captains OF
any regiment being together,
A. de la Mora, director OF the Tween
tieth infantry band and orchestra, with
excellent music during the course OF
the banquet. 1t was enjoyed by many
of the guests of the hotel who gath
cred in the lobby and on the mezza,
nine.
A telegram purporting to be from
President William Taft was read at
the dinner. From its contents it would
seem that the best of feeling exists
between the executive of the nation
and this part of the army. Toasts
were given by Captains BuTtt, Kellond
NJ. +. Smith and Moose. Those attend

VOICE OPPOSITION
TO E|CHT-HOUR LAW
Commercial Club Committee
on Manufactures Reports on
Proposed Legislation.

The "minimum wage bill' and the
socalled "eight.hour bill" did not re-
ceive the Endorsement and favor of the
Commercial club committee on manu-.
factures and new industries at ses'
sion of that body yesterday afternoon.
Consequently tho board of governors
will receive Il report opposing the pas,
sage of both measures.
The Manufacturers Association OF
Utah already has expressed its oppo-
sition to the ''eight.hour bill, - and the
committee members. most of whom are
members of the association, yesterday
harmonized with the sentiment Of the
association. One important objection
pointed out was that some concerns,
such rs beet sugar company, de-
pended absolutely on a certain season
Of the year for results, which results
could only be obtained under heavy
labor condensed into q certain period
of time.
Relative TO the minimum wage
bill,' the committee felt that as g
law it would establish Il system OF
competition under which outside con.
Germs could ship in their wares and
stock and sell them cheaper in Utah
than Utah producers or agents. 1t was
argued that no fixed scale could be
established. as wages were of neces
sity fixed according to the value Of the
services rendered and as the extent
and profits of a business warranted.
A committee consisting Of II. j. Wal
lace, of the Aucrbacb company; j. A
Baker, of the Keith-O 'Brien company
Orvin Morris, Of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company; C. c. Campbell, of the Noun
tain States Telephone & Telegraph
company, and John Brooks, of the Troy
laundry, was appointed to appear be
fore the legislature and present argu
ments opposing the proposed measures
