WON THE FIRST PRIZE
ON BORROWED PLUMAGE
Scandal Among Bird Fanciers at the Poultry Show Re
sulting: From a Unique Trick of One of
the Exhibitors.
A single little brown feather has caused a scandal at the poultry show.
It was found in tho cage occupied by the prize Brown Leghorn cockerel
owned by Exhibitor Gunter of Ogden.
" Only poultry fanciers will understand the importance attached to the
little feather by those taking part in the show. It may be the caac of
4- charges being filed against Mr. Gunter and n contest over the first prize.
The theory of the fanciers is that the prize cockerel had a white feather
In his tail. Jt Js a very serious ofTensc for a Brown Leghorn cock to have
a white feather In his tail or anywhere else, and ,a bird who Is guilty has
a. very slim show for getting a prize at a poultry show that Is, If (he --
judges discover the white feather.
An examination of Mr. Gunter's fowl, after the feather was found,
-f showed that one of his tall feathers had been cut off. Tho evidence fur-
ther Indicated that a feather of the proper color had been fastened into
the original quill by means of a piece of toothpick. , If this was really -
done it was accomplished so cleverly that the Judge. J. Shellcnbarger of
-f Iown, did not detect the Imposition, but awarded the Gunter cockerel the
f first prize In his clas3. .
The second piTze went to Roy Morton. 4-
If the Ogden bird really had a white feather Mr. Morton is entitled
to first prize. Should he file a protest, the matter will be Investigated and
Mr. Gunter may be required to prove that he did not doctor his cockerel.

boon no Interregnum and, consequently,
but one session of Congress, and there Is.

THEY GOT THE MONEY,
BUT BROKE THE LAW
In reviewing the accounts of the old

the City Attorney has been directed. It
was discovered that an appropriation

of $25. It has also been discovered that
the appropriations were not covered by
any provisions of the law.
City Attorney D. M. Haigh of Murray
wns in the city yesterday in connection

that the new Council will Institute pro

the Council will be held next Tuesday
night, when the city attorney's report
will be made and the matter of further

allowing to each member 525, to the
Mayor $30, and to the Justice of the

entire amount was 5205. The resolution

made.
The city attorney in his recent inves

complied with when the money was
paid.

There have been many banquets in Salt
Lako City, many luncheons and dinners
that are recalled from tlmo to time with
the pleasantest recollections by those who
attended, but tho first annual breakfast
of tho Ladies' Literary club, given yes
terday at tho clubhouse, will from this
time on be referred to by all who wero
fortunalo enough to be there as the most
brilliant event of tho kind ever given in
this city. Tho guests numbered 1C3, in
cluding many of tho brightest women in
tho 6ity. and the feast of wit which suc
ceeded the feast of good things. It Is safe
to say, has never been surpassed at a
similar event In any city.
The clubhouse was most artistically ar
ranged for tho breakfast. White and
green, tho club colors, were carried out
in the decorations, and tho menu, as far
as possible. The menu cards were also
done In the club colors, a beautiful mono
gram in white adorning the palo green
cover. Long tables In the form of a cross
extended corncrwlse of the room, while
smaller tables filled in the space at tho
sides and ends A beautiful shower of
white carnations, plumosa and baby rib
bon fell from the chandelier over the cen
ter of the' longest table, from which rose
a low mound of white carnations and
plumosa. Iong sprays of the plumosa ex
tended down tho center of each of tho
tables and was tho only decoration noted
outside of tho centerpiece of the main
table.
After a -very delicious breakfast had
been disposed of Mrs. F. D. B'.ckford, In
happy vein. Introduced the toastmlstreas.
Mrs. J. M. JJart. The latter, always
clever, was at her best yesterday, and her
remarks Introducing the various toast
givers fairly sparkled with wit and
humor. Before Introducing tho first speak
er Mrs Dart asked all tho guests to rlso
and drink lo tho presidents, the present
and tho absent ones, and tho few that
liad passed to the great beyond. This was
done, and then Mi's. F. D. Blckford re
sponded to tho toast, "Our Presidents."
At the conclusion of her toast. Mrs. Blck
ford, In behalf of the club, presontcd
Mrs J. C. Royle, the club's first presi
dent, with a beautiful cluster or American
Beauties, and thanked tho club In gracious
manner for a cluster of white chrysanthe
mums which were presented to Mrs. Blck
fond by tho club, she being the present
president of tho club. Mrs. Royle re
sponded to the second toast, "The Good
Old Days," which was reminiscent of the
days when tho club movement wns now
in this c-lty, and was a very charming
toast. "Tho Woes of the Chairman" was
responded to by Miss Ethel Paul, who. In
a cloverly written fable, presented the
woes of a section chairman of tho Ladles'
Literary club, and so apt wero tho al
lusions that the members could not fall
to see the point, and the toast wns fro

RATE WAR IN GRAIN I
j!
Topcka. Kan., Jan. 20, Kansas la the 1
storm center for a frclsht rate war in I J
grain, and within the next fortnight it
is likely that the Stnte will bo pretty thor-
oughly drained of the twenty million bush
els of wheat which arc supposed to be ' JJH
still held by the farmers.
The Santa Fc has announced a cut of
5 ccnt3 per 100 in the rate on grain from
interior Kansas points to Galveston by '
the direct route. This means that th h mmW
grain will not be sent around bv way of mmW
Kansan City, but will move direct Iron '
Vsawyor lhc G C. & S. F. to the Gulf, I
po t. It Is exjioeicd that the other roads mmW
will meet the Santa Fo's cut for Gulf mmm
business, and tho probability la that tho -Mmm
Las torn roads, which depend for their
business on the haul to Minneapolis, Chi
cago or Eastern ports, will mak a cut
In the rates to turn somo of the business ' mmm
In that direction Instead of allowing it to . mW
all slip away by the "back door" of the Mmm
CjUlf. IH
In addition to tho cut. made by the Santa mm
Jo. tho Rock Island and Missouri Pacific mwl
havo given notice of a rductlon of 3 mwi
cents In the rates to tho Gulf via Kansas '
The rate war affects tho grain district mmm
extending from the Dakotas to Oklahoma,
out th reduction of C cents from Ints-Ior mwA
points doos not extend farther south than
tno Kansas Stato lino on the scith. Mmm
It Is thought that the lines Intorestjd. , Mmm
will got together within two weeks anrl 'mmm
adjust tho rate situation.
