variety of farm product. from cheese
to wheat, oats and alfalfa
OF this number Richfield has captur-
ed sixteen Of the prizes and many 9TH

that. Following are those who were
awarded medals in Lincoln county:
Gold Medals.

of population, that has made such a |
good showing.

THE UNION PACIFIC.

In 1914 the Union Pacific announced
its intention to discontinue the inter
change with the d. & R. G. at Ogden
of passenger business to or from points
on the Oregon Short Line-a part of
the Union Pacific system-this affect
ing only business to or from Denver
and points east The d. & R. G. con-
tended that as these rates had been
in effect about 18 years they should
not be cancelled. The Union Pacific
stood upon what it regarded as its
legal right to retire from an arrange
ment which short hauled it's own lines,
and contended that it was entitled to
the long haul of passenger traffic to
and from territory served by the Ore
gon Short Line. The principal reason
assigned being the large expenditures
made by the Union Pacific in the con-
struction of branch lines-particular-
ly to Yellowstone park and in Oregon
Short Line territory. the testimony in
dicating that in recent years, s109,-
100000 were expended in the construc-
ton of branches for the purpose of
Idaho and adjacent territory. while the
d. & r. G. on the other hand had not
invested dollar in Oregon Short Line
territory. Commissioner Harlan in an
nouncing the majority opinion of the
commmisson says:
I'm adtion to the shortest mileage,
the service of the Union Pacific in
point of time is much superior. The
fastest train over its rails from Omaha
utes less time than the best train be-
tween the same points over any other
route In connection with the D. & R.
G.
"The situation before us is very
practical one. The Denver and Rio
Grande route as hereinbefore pointed
out is longer by nearly 400 miles and is
10 hours longer in point of time. I'm
der such circumstances, if no through
route were now open, an order baseC
co the incc,d before us, req,.li ing the
Union Pacific system to short haul it
slf by establishing the present parity
Of fares over the Denver and Ria
Grande, would be illogical and arbitr-
ary in the highest degree. lie would
be no less SO should we undertake to
exercise our power under the same
provision Of law by compelling the
Union Pacific to continue a rate ad-
justment which we could not lawfully
require it to establish as an original
question:

attention to the organization work
of the creamery company comes as
a surprise to Mr.. Kings friends.
Agency Will Continue.
Mr.. King has resigned his position
as general organizer for the accident
and liability department of the Aetna
Life Insurance company for the noun
tain states, but the Wesley King In
surance agency continues to handle the
Utah business for the company. Mr..
King said that while his new business
would require all of his personal at
tention, his agency would continue as
heretofore.
The association of Mr. King and w.
F. Jensen, president and organizer of
the Mutual Creamery company, is in
teresting. They arrived in Utah the
same week seven years ago, Mr.. King
from Chocago and Mr.. Jensen from
Topeka. They both purchased homes
on the north bench in the same block
at the same time. When they were
looking at their new homes they met
casually. Later they were thrown to-
gether as members of the same COM
mittee of the Salt Lake Commercial
club. Subsequently they were elected
members of the board of governors of
the Commercial club the same year.
This association made them close
personal friends. Mr. King, at the
time he came to Utah, was organizing
the mountain states for the American
Surety company. Mr.. Jensen came to
Utah to organize the Jensen Creamery
company. The rapid growth of the
Jensen Creamery company from one
plant in Salt Lake to eleven large
creameries and scores of sub-stations
in Utah, Idaho, wyoming, Colorado,
Nevada, Washington and Oregon at
tracted Mr.. King to the possibilities of
this enterprise, and he purchased stock
in it. Later he increased his holdings

he was chosen to serve with Mr.. Jen-
sen and Senator George Dern on the
executive committee aof the board.
Company Is Reorganized.
Recently the Jensen Creamery COM
pany was reorganized and became the
Mutual Creamery company. Under the
new plan of organization the dairy
farmers who produce the milk for the
creamery company are the owners of
so per cent Of the stock of the new
$4,000, 600 corporation. Another feature
of the new corporation is a profit
sharing plan, whereby the surplus pro-
fits are divided among the milk-pro-
ducing stockholders Of the company.
Mr.. Jensen reported to the board
of directors that the market for but
ter made in these mountains was rap
idly increasing, and that the company
was unable to supply the demand of
the market He called attention to the
fact that whereas few years ago
Utah was flooded by Australian- made
butter Utah was now shipping butter
to Australia The demand in all parts
of the country for Utah butter, he
said, was greatly increased. A large

amount of orders were coming from
Alaska, he said, and in addition the
European demand for Utah butter was
greatly increased. This was due IN
part, at least, Mr.. Jensen reported to
the fact that butter made in a high
dry climate. such as Utah, would stand
up longer and retain a superior flavor
to butter made in lower attitudes and
in moist climates. With the present
equipment of the eleven factories own
ed by the company, Mr.. Jensen assert
ed, the factories could treble he out

expense of operation, and the market
Big Problem Solved.
The problem Of the company then
was to increase the amount of butter
fat. At present there are in the state
$4,000 dairy cows. A year ago there
wereSS, 600 and the year before $4,000.
The prospects for a great increase in
the amount of butter fat at this low
rate of increase in the number of cattle
was not favorable. The company then
decided upon the plan to import large
numbers of the best milk producing
cows to be had and to sell them to
the farmers on easy terms.
With the assistance of experts, who
will examine the pasturage and stables
of the farmers and ascertain the num-
ber of cows that each farmer can care
for, and who will also conduct an ed
ucational campaign relative to the
manner of feeding the cattle and car
ing for the milk, the company plans
to place these COWS in sections of the
territory where they will do the most
good.
After the plan for securing these
cattle was perfected, Mr.. King consent
ed to take charge of the organization
staff Of the big company with view
to cooperating in the fullest manner
possible WIN the udliy AdiihCio o. ihc
organization bureau will advise with
the farmers as to the best breeds of
cattle for dairy purposes in the section
in which the farmers who secure the
cattle reside. They will also consult
with the farmers as to the prices to
be paid for the cattle.
Farmers Enthusiastic.
Although the new plan was not for
mally announced until yesterday, the
officers of the company have consulted
with farmers in various section of the
state and have found the farmers more
than enthusiastic strut the plan.
In the immediate vicinity of Salt
Lake the farmers are especially en-
.husiastic about the plan. The con-
' enient service of the electric inter-
urbans which transverse rich dairy
section makes dairying an ideal pur
suit in the sections tributary to these
roads. Arrangements have already
been made for milk trains in this
section stopping every two miles each
morning at platforms on which the
farmers may leave their cans of cream.

pany, has left for a six weeks tour OF

| Twenty thousand registered stand
ardbred dairy cows will be distributed
within the next twelve months among
the airy farmers of Utah and terri
tory tributary to Salt Lake. This an
nouncement was made yesterday by the
Mutual Creamery company.
Announcement also was made by the
company that Wesley King yesterday
joined the staff of the Mutual Cream
cry company and will have the direction
of the work Of placing these cows
among the dairy farmers of this terri
tory.
Officers of the creamery company said
of these cows would probably be about
$780, and that some of them would cost
as much as SIPS. This will mean the
introduction into Utah of dairy cattle
of the minimum value of $1,6OO,O0O.
Wesley King, who began his new
work with the company yesterday, said
that experts in the employ of the COM
pany had carefully studied conditions
in this state and had concluded that
there were ample facilities in Uah for
caring for 100000 airy cattle. AT pres
ent there are $4,000 dairy cows in Utah
that 6O0,n0o may be added before the
field would be limited. With this in
view his company is determined to
keep importing annually a large num-
Der of good dairy cows. The number
to be brought in during the next II
months has been placed at 10000 and
Mr. King thinks the following year the
company will undertake to bring in
$4,000.
Cattle Now on Way.
Agents of the company are now
buying dairy cattle in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Illinois and Iowa. The first
carload to be brought to the west by
the company is now on it's way from
the middle west to Grand Junction,
Colo. Another carload will soon be
brought to Malad, Idaho, for distribu-
ton among the farmers in that Sec
ton. Arrangements are being made
to bring SEVERAL carloads oftZthese
cattle for distribution along the line
of the Denver & Rio Grande in the
Se-ier valley, along the line of the
Salt Lake Route, and through ,the
plans to place several hundred head Of
these cattle along the railway lines
between Salt Lake and Ogden and in
Utah valley.
The cattle are to be sold to the farm
ers on easy terms, according to Mr..
King. The farmer will be permitted
to pay for the cattle out Of the butter
fat produced by the cattle so pur
chased. The experts Of the company
are of the opinion that each cow will
pay for herself in one year.
For several years Wesley King has
been a stockholder in the Jensen
Creamery company, of which the Mu-
tual Creamery company is the success
sor, but the announcement made yes
terday by the company that Mr.. King
would become actively associated with
the enterprise and devote his entire

the farmers, reports from experts will

The officers are confident that the 2O,-

ing will be so successful that the So
600 COWS to be imported the secont
year will likewise be far short of sup

OFFICIALS TO CONFER
ON INSURANCE POLICIES
Adoption of Standard Form for Sick
and Death Benefit Companies
to Be Discussed.

The adoption of a standard form of
sick and death benefit insurance policy
Is to be discussed at a conference to be
held shortly between officials of such
companies operating in the District of
Columbia and a committee composed of
Charles F. Nesbit. superintendent of
insurance of the District of Columbia ,
chairman; F. H. McMasters. superin-
tendent of insurance of South Carolina !;
J. r. Young. superintendent of insur-
ance of North Carolina: Joseph Bottom,
superintendent of insurance of Vir-
ginia, and Charles Johnson, superin-
tendent of insurance of Pennsylvania.
The standard form of policy is to be
used by sick and death benefit insur
ance companies operating in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the states men
toned. and has been framed with the
object in view of eliminating all sources
Of friction between the companies and
policyholders. The plans was decided
upon at the national convention of in
surance commissioners held in Chicago
last April. and was further discussed a
few weeks ago at conference of in
surance commissioners of the states in
cluded in the membership of the COM
mittee mentioned. held in Richmond.
Under present conditions. it is stated,
the companies operate under widely va
rying forms of policies. the provisions
of which are not generally understood
by the policyholders. The adoption of
q standard form of policy, it is expect
ed, will do away with abuses of all
kinds, and especially in the District Of
Columbia will render the work of the
insurance department much easier by
eliminating the great volume of COM
plants filed against the companies by
policyholders who believe they have
not received proper treatment in the
adjustment of claims.
