WATCHING CROOKED OIL DEALS
Three Postoffice Inspectors For ThiI
Territory.

Increased use of the mails 10 pro-
mote schemes here in Utah deemed By
the government 10 be fraudulent has
brought about a change in the attitude
of the postoffice department 10 this
state and will give three postofiioe in
spe0tors locally instead of none as
has been the condition for the past
year. c. l.. Dutton, who has been i'm
the service for fourteen years, has
just been transferred 10 San Fran
cisco. He will have charge of the Salt
Lake City headquarters and will be
assisted by n. j. Salyards, who is
coming To Utah from Vincennes, Ind,
II, W. Blake will also be engaged on
Utah business with his headquarters
at Provo.
There has been much use of the
Utah mails 10 promote fake mining
propositions, says Dutton, "The oil
boom in Texas brought about some
of it here, but the approaching one in
this state, which many honestly ex-
pcct 10 see, has been seized upon by
designing persons who desire 10 sell
stock on eXtrayagant promises before
there is any actual oil in sight. Dur
ing the past year while the depart
ment has been busy elsewhere there
have been scores of petty offcnses
which we must now run down. From
this time forward ] expect that this
will be very busy office"
Dutton says that legitimate post
office business has grown so much in
Utah during the past few years that
the department plans many changes
to take care of the increased traffic.

CONTEST OF
THE WHIPPETS
They Will Race in Many Event
st thc Vermont State Fair
Two Bands to Furnish Music.

The Whippets of America
and the Whippets of Canada
will contest for honors and pri
zes at the Vermont State Fair
at White River Junction on
Friday, October l, the last day
of the four day fair.
What is a whippet?
Unless you have a recent
Webster or a near-recent Cent
ury you may not find the word
and the definition. So don't
look.
A whippet is a dog-part
greyhound and part Spaniel.
They are decidedly fleet of foot
and when trained for racing
are an interesting quadruped.
In intellect, this breed of dog
shows remarkable intelligence.
They train easily for racing
off around the track in a flash
at the sound of the pistol and
their attention is never divert
ed from their purpose of win
ming the race.
At the Vermont State Fair
whippet event, which is the
first annual American derby,
prizes aggregating $4,000
will be given the owners of the
winners. There will be sever
al races, straight course, hand
leap, hurdle and other races.
The racing rules Of the Toron-
to Whippet Association will
govern. No entry fee will be
charged and all entries should
be made to w. 3. Emmons,
Race Secretary, Woodstock,
Vermont.
Entries close Sept. 20. If
you own a whippet be sure to
enter him for the Derby.
There will be plenty Of mu-
sic at the Vermont State Fair
the four days this year. One of
the U. S. Navy Bands of 25 pie
ces that served during the late
allied war will be a real attrac-
ton, musically and historically
They will bring with them
many war relics which will be
placed on exhibition.
The Rochester Band and Drum
Corps will be the other musical
attraction. There will be band
concerts in the plaza each fore
noon and in front of the grand
stands every afternoon of the
fair.
