TOMATO CfiOP LOOKS
PI01S1T0 SMITH
Pure Food Commissioner Ex
pects Big Business This
Year.
PRAISES UTAH CANNERS
Method of Eastern Concerns
Using Pulp for Catsup,
Told.
t'tnh canning factories are looking for
ward to an exceptional tomato crop this
yonr and a blp business Is anticipated,
according to Ileber C. Smith, deputy
state pure food commissioner. Said Mr.
Smith yesterday:
In view of the fact that Utah fac
tories are equipped with the most
' modern machinery made, the toma
1 toes canned and catsup bottled
should be second to none In the
country. The season will open about
August and the outlook is Indeed
1 bright.
s People In this part of the country
who pay fancy prices for eastern
made catsup, supposing that It Is
superior to that made here, would bo
surprised to learn of some of the
methods employed by those factories
as compared to those of the Utah
concerns. .
Catsup Made From Pulp.
It Is a fact, that many of thu west
ern factories save the tomato pulp
and ship it In barrels to the eastern
concerns for catsup making. Sow
the facts arn that most tomato cat
supand good catsup, too Is made
from the trimmings, while the larger
portion of the tomato is canned.
In the. Utah canneries, because of
the rigid Inspection, these trlmmlugs
must be very choice Hero we have
no barrels of pulp shipped In.
It is quite reasonable to suppose
that factories which make It a busi
ness to save the pulp for shipment
to catsup concerns and are paid for
It bv the pound, should be careless
as to what kind of trimmings are
used. '.Many eastern catsup makers,
who gel fancv prices for their prod
uct, make It out of pulp that the
Utah makers would shun.
Impure Product Impossible.
In speaking or the maonmery used in
cntsup making, Mr. Smith asserts that
all the canneries of the state have done
away with the old stylo scalders and
have, at great expense, installed the new
sanitary devices. He says that with the
old washers, pure tomato catsup was an
impossibility because the wushlng vats,
in which tho water was changed only
twice a day, became almost mud and
much of this water found Its way Into
the catsup. By the new system, the wa
ter Is constantly changing and impure
catsup in Impossible.
There are thirty canning factories in
tho state which will start tomato work
this month, Of this number, about
seven make tomato catsup.

SEARCH FOR TELEPHONE
Touring Autoists Get Aid Af
ter 48 Hours' Hunt for
I Ranch.
Mrs. B. F. Wyatt, wife of a wealthy
Denver livestock broker, is at tho Holy
Cross hospital as the result of tho jour
ney which she made with her husband
and a party of frionds ovor tho wcst
cm states by automobile. Tuesday
night she stumbled and fell into a ra
vine ton feet deep while walking near
where her husbahd h machine was laid
up with engine trouble. Sho was cut
and bruised and perhaps internally in
jured. A short time before Wyatt had
also fallen into a small gully and had
suffered a broken rib.
Vor nearly forty-eight hours after
the accident happened the part1 was
endeavoring to net aid from Salt Lake
bv telephone. I'lnally Thursda nitrite
about 8 o'clock Wyatt reached a tele
phone at the Kanaka ranch in Skull
valley and at once called up The Trib
nnn nflii!f. Within ten minutcH after
tho call was received aid was on the
way to the balanco of the party which
had remained behind while Mr. Wyatt
had started in a borrowed machine for
Without Water.
Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt. Daniel Ham
mill and Mrs. Scott Hill had al
ready started for Salt Luke in Mr.
Ilammill's aiilomobilo, which was still
in running order. Tho remainder of
the party, consisting of Hay, Paul and
Bessie Wyatt, children of Mr. and Mrs.
Wyatt, and Scott Hill, wore left on the
desert without food or water. All are
residents of Denver.
In answer to the call for help The
Tribune sent a Pieree-Arrow car from
the Tom Botterill garage with Lou
Haines at the wheel. Tho record made
by the machine was wonderful. Go
ing a distnncc of 2G1 miles in all and
for half that distance towing a heavy
mnchino and carrying seven passengers,
the trip was made without mishap.
When the members of tho rescue
party reached the stranded people at
daylight yesterday they found them
asleei) on the ground In the open air.
Mr, Hill had told the members of tho
party that the automobile from Salt
Lake would doubtless arrive yestcrda3'
ami all were sleeping peacefully, not
withstanding the pangs of hunger.
"We were certainly clad when that
machine arrived." said Mr. Hill last
night. "The driver awakened me and
I awoke the rest of the party and 3rou
would be surprised to see how happv
they looked when they saw a good,
sound automobile Teady to brine them
lo Salt Lake."
Tried to Find Path.
When Mr, WyattJs machino became
useless, he attempted to find a path
that would lead to a place to rcBt for
the night. Ho stumbled and fell into
a deep washout, and was rendered un
conscious. Mrs. Wyatt, noarly prostrated with
grief and excitement, sought a place
of quiet to await news of her hus
band's condition. Tn tho pitch dark
ness, she too fell into a ucop ravine
or washout, and was placed beside her
husband. Her condition became so
alarming that Mr. Wyatt soon forgot
his own brnisos and injuries, and sought
to help her. It was decided to take her
to a place where she could get atten
tion as soon as possible.
When Mr. Wyatt reached Kanacka
ranch, located in the heart of tho
desert, he telephoned to Tho Tribune
for assistance, and within ten minutes
a car was on' its wav to get the per
sons who had been left behind. Air.
Mr. Wyatt, in telling of his experiences
y.sterday, said:
On account of my wife's condi
tion it was necessary to take Mr.
Hamill's machino to proceed to
Salt Lake City. Wc arranged with
the others of the part' to remain
with the broken automobile. When
I arrived at Kanacka Tanch, 1
telephoned for a rescue party to go
to Skull valley.
Mr. Wyatt and party left Denver
three months ago for a lour of the
west in the two automobiles. They wore
in Salt Lake two months ago. Tho re
turn trip from tho coast was made
over a northern route, which made it
necessary to cross the Utah desert.
Mr. Wyatt was formerly a Utah man,
living at Tremonton.
The trip will bo continued when tho
injured members of tuo party recover.

TAKE STEPS TO STOP
SPREAD OF DISEASE
Extra Sanitary Inspectors Are As
signed to Infected
District,
' Determined to check the spread of
Ivphoiu fever in that district of the
city southeast of Third South and Main
streets, Dr. Samuel G. Paul, health
commissioner, decided 3'esterda3r to as
sign all available sanitary inspectors to
tho infected district with orders to
make a houso to houso canvass iu
search of the origin of the epidemic.
With sixteen new cases reported so
far this week there arc now thirtj'-six
cases under cjunrautiuo in tho infected
district. "That is just thirty-six cases
too many," exclaimed Dr. Paul yester
day. "Ti'phoid is a preventable disease
and can be held in check if proper
sanitar3T precautions are taken.''
The men assigned to the work yes
terdaj' are under tho direction of J. E.
Fl-nn, chief inspector. Thej- will con
tinue nt work in that district until
cvcr3' house, 3'ard, barn, street and
allov has been examined as to tho pos
sibility of the diseaso breeding in un
clean "daces.
Miss FJlen Lees, one oT the district
nurses, also has been asstgnod lo tho
t3phoid work with instructions to kcop
a close watch on all patients, and lo
see that precautions arc taken against
a spread of infection from the afflicted
ones.
"1 am confident that the epidemic is
due largch to carelessness and to di
rect contact between the patients,''
Dr. Paul said. "There is nothing to
indicate that the milk or water suppl'
is to blame, ff it were tho water sup
ply then tho disease would not be con
fined lo that particular section of tho
city as the samo water supply is used
generally over the entire southern part
of town."

TO STUDY COiill
Five Senators Investigating
Workings of Compensa
tion Act.
An investigation of Utah labor con
ditions, and incidentally of tho resort
charms of Salt Lake, is being made to
dav by five membera of the Missouri
senate appointed at the recent legis
lature of that state to make an inves
tigation of workingmcu's compensa
tion ucts in order to draw up a model
bill for Missouri. The committee is
composed of JS. L. White, chairman; W.
C. Goodsen, secretary; R. S. McClintic,
William G. Busbec, and A. S. Phillips.
Thoy arrived from the coust yesterday,
and expect to leave for St. Louis to
night. ...
According to the visiting senators,
the Missouri lawmakers contemplated
passing a workingmen 'a compensation
act at their last session, but tho meas
ure was killed, the senators deciding
that the state's reputation for having
to bo shown must be lived up to. Tho
committee was appointed, and au
thorized to hold special hearings in all
westorn states whero such laws are now
in force, or whero bills were proposed
and defeated. In speaking of the work
done so far, Chairman Whito said yes
terday: Wo h'avo hold hearings in Cali
fornia and Washington, where thoy
have compensation laws, and nlso
in Oregon, where they merely con
template such a law. One of tho
most noliceablc things wo havo
como across in California and
Washington is that employers and
omploj'ocs seem absolutely satisfied
with tho present laws. Tho only
opposition we found was among the
officials of liability insuranco corn
panics, In fact, thoso companies
are responsible for the altompt in
California to annul tho law by ref
erendum. Howover, thoro is littlo
doubt but that tho attempt will
fail. The insurance companies
claim that tho compensation act
puts tho stato in the insuranco bus
moss. Our western trip has been a bus'
one, and wo havo gleaned ideas
which will be of great value in
drafting a bill for our own stale.
We held formal hearings with tho
California Industrial Accident com
mission at San Francisco, tho
Washington Industrial commission
at Olympin, and an informal inves
tigation at Portland. While in
Utah wo intend to visit Bingham
if possible, and if not to see aa
much of the city and surrounding
counhy aa is possible in so short
a time.
SPRINGV1LLE OFFERS
TO PAY NEW ROAD TAX
Commissioner Lyman Tolls of Coun
ties Already in the
Fold.
Sprlngvillo Is ono of the few towns of
Utah county that wants to be assessed
the fivo-mlll tax for good roads, according-
to Richard U. Lyman, vice president
of the state road commission, A request
made In a letter received from Sprlnjr
vllle yesterday, lhat the county commis
sioners of Utah county put tbc tax on
their precinct, was considered Immedi
ately, and Mr. Lyman asserLs that the
action asked for will bo taken.
"If all the counties and most of thorn
have already come Into the fold would
take up the five-mill tax and special ap
propriations like Davis, Sanpete, Sevier,
Millard and Beaver counties have done,
the work of the commission would be
greatly facilitated," said Mr. Lyman yes
terday. "Wc could then build tine, hard
surfaced roads in evory small town In
Utah.
"The legislature which created the road
commission provided for a $1000 appro
priation by the state and a small ap
propriation by each county. The second
legislature doubled tbc state appropria
tion per county and required that the
county commissioners levy a live-mill Uix
In each precinct. In Davis county dur
ing tbc last two years $70,000 1ms been
raised. What we are trying- to do now
Is to convert the people to the special
tax Idea."
