HOME FOR ELkS
HARD TO FIND
Temporary Ranch to Be Chosen
by Mass Meeting; One Pair
for Liberty Park.

A unique mass meeting will be held
in Nephi in a day or two, the object
being to provide temporary ranch for
fifteen elk which will be shipped into
Utah from the Jackson hole, Wyoming.
Fred w. Chambers, state fish and game
commissioner, left for Neph last night,
Today he will consult with George
Whitmore of Nephi, and other Juab
county commissioners.
The elk will be kept on ranch one
year from next June to allow them to
multiply somewhat. They will then be
turned loose in the Mt Nebo forest.
D. c. Nowlin of the government bio
logical survey, telegraphcd to Commits
sioner Keyser that the elk had arrived
at briggs, Ida, and would be shipped
here as soon as desired
Ten more elk will arrive for Sewer
county, where eleven have already been
placed on Casio ranch. These will also
be allowed to multiply a little before
they are turned loose.

MAY CLOSE SALOONS
TWO HOURS EARLIER
House Passes by Decisive
Vote Measure With 10
O'Clock Limit Clause.

If bill passed by the house yester-
day becomes a law, saloons in every
"wet' city and town will close at 10
o clock at NIGHT, and none will be per-
mitted to keep open on legal holidays,
which days the bill puts on the same
basis as Sundays.
The introduction Of the bill in the
house was never intended by the man
who introduced it to be anything more
than courtesy to the Seventh Day Ad-
yentist church people. Barnes of Salt
Lake, at the request of the Seventh
Day Adventists, introduced three or
four bills which were designed to wipe
out all Sunday closing laws and TO put
day OF the week. One Of those bills
provided that saloons close on legal
holidays as well rs on Sundays, being
measure necessary to perfect the
chain of the series of bills presented at
the request OF the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists.
All Of the bills on the subject intro
duccd by Barnes were killed on the
adoption OF adverse reports returned by
the Judiciary committee. The legal hol.
iday closing bill was also adversely re
ported, Dut on request OF NelilnS VI
Box Elder, the bill was put on the
calendar for consideration on the floor
of the house. Several times the bill
has been sent to the foot of the cal
endar, and twice the introducer has
requested its withdrawal, each time
without success.
When the bill came up yesterday. a
motion to lay on the table was do
feated, as was also motion to lndef"
initcly postpone. Several amendments
calculated to be more or less amusing
were offered and defeated in turn.
Then Carbon moved that cities OF the
first and second class come under the
same provisions of the saloon. closing
laws as country districts. That is, that
saloons everywhere shall not be per-
mitted to keep open later than lO
clock at night. The amendment was
adopted.
In that form the bill went to a vote.
It passed by vote of 80 to 4. Those
voting against it were Bamberger, Bar
kcr. Cook and Page.
The senate recently killed similar
bill introduced under similar circum-
stances by Senator Smith,

Large Sum Needed.

1t is understood that an appropriation
of mt least $4,000 by the legislature is
assured. although the measure asks
100000. The league governors hold
that $4,000 is insufficient to maintain
proper exhibits in Salt Lake and Ogden,
but have confidence that sufficient can
be raised by other means to not only
maintain the exhibits but also carry on
an effective publicity campaign. 1t is
the special intention TO make such Il
campaign most energetic during the
l9l4-l5 bcgira.
The board unanimously indorsed the
plan of the Commercial club s excursion
committee to run a greater Utah
trade excursion from Monday until

be designated as ''Utah development

HOLDS FEES WERE
WR0NCFULLY HAD
In Opinion of County Attor'
ney, County Is Liable for
Many Thousand Dollars.

That the sheriffs of Salt Lake county
in past years have been nnlawfulIy COZ"
lecting fees for the sale of property TO
satisfy judgments and that the county
is liable for the return of money thus
collected, is the opinion OF County Az
torney l. f, Wiley rendered to the
county commissioners yesterday.
Recently j. Farley White. former
chief deputy in the sheriff S office under
Sheriff Joseph G. Sharp, presented 10
the commissioners claims aggregating
several thousand dollars, based on the
allegation that fees had been collected
unlawfully. White represented tnhE
the claims had been assigned to bIm by
persons from whom the alleged unlaW-
ful fees had been collected. The claims
were referred TO the county attorney,
who reported ON them yesterday.
The county attorney holds that IN
cases where property, sold at aneOloh
by the sheriff to satisfy judgment, IS
purchased by the Judgment creditor, ana
not by third party, no fee can be col
lccted. he citeg decisions Of various
courts to that effect.
Inasmuch as sheriff's sales usually re-
suit in purchase Of the property by the
Judgment creditor or the mortgagee,
the Significance of the opinion is far
reaching. Thousands Of such sales have
been made in late years, it IS estimated,
and fee collected in each case. Should
MI the persons from whom such fees
have been collected file claims against
the county for return of the money the
amount would run into many thousands
of dollars, it is feared.
Acting on the opinion of the county
attorney, the commissioners authorized
the payment of the claims presented by
the former chief deputy sheriff
