UTAH TO AOOP I q ATE WIDE
 PROHIBITION

SALT LAKE. Dee. 2. -- As in other western states. the Utah legislature will be occupied with a prohibition is sue at the biennial session which con venes in January. Other questions to come up are: Creation of a public utilities commission, purity of election jaws, direct primary and civn service.
 The Democratic Progressive fusion ists are in control of both houses, as we'll as the state offices. The only Republican in the legislature is a hold over. The ticket was elected on a platform promising immediate state wide prohibition, and many other re. forms. The biggest fight probably will be on the prohibition issue. It is be lieyed that the public utilities bill also will cause d heated debate.
 Some of the other proposed meas ures are: Workingmen's compensa- tion act. commission to regulate food prices. revision of the taxation sys- tenn. non-partisan judiciary, reduction of the number of state commissions and boards. and state aid for irriga- tion projects.

ELE CTION LAWS OF IDAHO BE
 REVISED

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 27. - The De nOcratic party for the first time in fourteen years has control of both branches of the Idaho legislature. which COnyenes January 8. With the 'e-election of Governor Moses Alex nder Democrat, and the election Of Ernest l.. Parker, Democrat, as lieu, tenant governor, the legislative pro, grom of that party will apparently have clear sailing.
 C. s Moody, adjutant general of the state, and one of the few members elect who has seen previous service. is a candidate for speaker of the house. The house is composed of 36 Democrats and l9 Republicans, and the senate 21 Democrats and 16 Re 2ublicans.
 A brief session, with adjournment before the sixty day limit, something that has never before taken place in Idaho, is the Democratic program. Lit tie legislation of importance is pro posed. Revision of the election laws, with the probable doing away with party symbols on the ballot. will be one of the most important tasks con fronting the legislature. Economy and tax reduction will be the sloga nOf the majority party.

IN TRAIL FROM
 CH|SANA

Grant Reed, who is Joking after the interests of the White Pass & Yukon railroad in the Shushanna, had quite an experience on the trail in coming from that camp to Mccarthy, during which he froze one of his feet and sur- fered considerably.
 Grant made his first attempt to re. turn to Cordova on November 13, bringing with him the mail and cleo tion returns. He first went to the North Fork island to get a dog team or guide to take him over the glacier Here he encountered a had storm and tho~o was a snowfall of twenty four inches ten hours He waited for four days to see if the storm would abate before proceeding on his jour ney, but as there was no signs of letup and grub was running short. he decided to return to Bonanza. In do- ing so he got on the wrong trail. going '''' II tAN -Nbl LII r p!h- AS soon as he realibed this be siwashed in a snow bank for the night and returned the next day to his starting point and there hit the right trail. When with in three miles of home a dense fog settled, and as darkness also overlook him, Grant camped in the willows to avoid getting lost, and it was here that he froze one of his feet
 A second attempt was made to get outside, when Grant left shushanna on December 13. accompanied by Zeke Mullett and Jack Lawrence and team of eleven dogs The second day out another storm came up and the snow got so deep that they widowed in if from their knees to their arm pits for the rest of the way. a distance of lo5 miles. While he had engaged passage on the sled, on account of his lame foot, Grant was compelled to mush until they struck the Nizina riv- CT as the dogs were unable to break trail and pull the load It required twelve days to make the trip, during which time Grant suffered much pain from his frozen foot and when he reached Mccarthy he was all in.
