Contest From Washington.
"The contest In Washington turned
on tho quest'on whether tho i'lf
delegates app'i'nlid by tho CDiin'y
commltteo In King flinty, In wh'.oS
Scn.tle Is al'uatcd weie duly elerted
to tho convoi..Jii or wlielher a ri
mary which was subsequently held,
and at which Roosevelt delegates
wero elected, was properly called, so
that Its result was legal. Under the
law, the county committee had the
power to decldo whether It would
call a primary. In somo counties of
tho stato ono course was pursued, en
In other counties the other. In Klne
county, tho commltteo consisted of
2C0 men, tho majority of whom wero
for Tuft and that majority, acting
through its execut'lvo committee,
elected tho Taft delegates to tho state
convention. Meantime, the city coun
cil of Seattle had restricted the city
It beforo had 250 precincts. Now, sub
stantlally, tho samo territory was di
vided up Into 381 precincts. Tho chair
man of tho county committee was a
Roosevelt man. -Ho had been giver
authority by general resolution to 111
vacancies occurring In tho committee.
A general meeting of tho committee
had been held after tho city council
bad directed tho redisricting, that
representatives could not bo selected
to fill tho 381 new precincts until an
election was held In September, 1012.
Chairman's Assumption.
"Thereafter, and In splto of this con
elusion, tho chairman assumed the
right by his appointment to add to
tho existing committee 131 precinct
committeemen and wit1 ,,'-,!'
In tho committee, it is claimed that
a primary was ordered. Thero was
so much confusion In tho meeting
that this is doubtful. Howover, tho
fact Is that tho Taft men protested
against any action by a commltteo bo
constituted, on tho ground that the
chairman had no authority to appoint
the 131 now coirimltteeruen. They r
fused to take part In tho primary,
and so did the LnFollette men. The
newspapers reported tho number c
votes In tho primary to bo something
over 3000. The Roosevelt commltteo
showed by affidavit the number to be
COO out of a usual total Rcpubllcri
voto of 75,000. Tho action of th
tho chairman of tho commltteo In at
tempting to add 131 precinct men to
tho old commltteo was of course, be
yond his power. Tho resolution au
thorlzlng to fill vacancies of cours
applied only to thoso places which
becumo vacant aftor they had been
filled and clearly did not apply to 13'
new precincts. It could not In tho
nature of things apply to a change
from tho old system to a complete
now nvulum nf nrpcincts created I
tho city council because If they wore
to bo filled the entire uumbor of 33
now precincts different from tho old
must bo filled. Ono system could not
bo made Into tho other by a mere
additional appointment of 131 com
nltteemcn. No lawyer will say that
such act by commltteo thus constitut
ed was legal. Therefore, tho action
which tho lawful commltteo of ?
took In electing Taft delegates who
made a majority In the stato conven
tion was tho only ono which ecu
bo recognized as valid."
Vote On Each Contest.
rles In detail the voto In the national
commltteo on each of tho contests
and a statement of tho dates of thf
Taft and Roosovolt conventions In con
tested states. Tho object of tho ' '
ter Is to show that tho Roosevelt dole
gates wero chosen aftor tho roiMl
convention had named T-" ronresen
tatlvcs. Another appendix Is tho report n
tho credentials committee tho oin
ventlon In which tb
by tho Roosovelt men attacking "
majority was answered In dBc
lng the charge tho report said!
"The statement us a whole In its
insinuations of combination of unv
thy motive In Ub recltay of alleged
facts, Is grossly and malclously un
true. It was Intended to convey the
Impression that tho time for hearing
cases was so limited as to prevent
their being properly presented to the
committee. The untruthfulness of this
statement Js clearly shown by tht
records of the committee and the
nowspaper reports of tho delibera
tions. Not only did the rules mak
liberal provision for time In present
ing tho cases, but In every Instant
where the parties presenting the cas
es, or any member of the comnMtt
asked for an extension of time, It was
granted."
.vrcpentlalt Committee.
Tho statement of the Roosovolt
members of tho commltteo asserted
that the speed with which tho ere
dentlals .committee brought In reports
"niadp If evdenl hgt tho reports had
been prepared beforphtinij," In reply
to this stapien( tjjp appendix to th'
, Whlto House statement said:
"In regard to tho assertion that re
ports wero prepared hi advance of
tho action of the committee on cre
dentials no one of tho gentlemen who
makes this statement will stato of his
own personal knowledge that any re
ports wero thus mado."
In concluding tho majority of the
credentials committee, defending its
decision said:
"As to tho merits of these contes
ted cases upon which the committee
passed, It should be remarked that
tho national committee sat for 15
days hearing evldenco and argument
upon them. Out of a total member
ship of 58 only 13 members of that
commltteo objected to tho findings
and decisions and they only with re
gard to a part of tho cases tho action
of tho committee having been unani
mous with regard to a majority of
them. Tho convention declined by a
substantial majority to reverse tho ae
tlon of tho national committee and it
referred the contested cases to th",
committee on credentials. When out
committee met, rules were adopted
by unanimous vote. No ono desiring
'to make complaint as to tho seating
of any delegate was provented from
presenting his case. The committee
even considered cases which had
been decided by a unanimous vote of
tho national committee, notably the
Indiana caso.
"Tho committee ou credentials of
the Republican national convention
consists of 53 members. Tho commit
teo In every caso sustained tho deel
slon of tho national commltteo and In
no case by majorities of less that
two-thirds. This statement of facts,
indorsed by 40 members of the com
mltteo who listened patiently through
all day and all night sessions to ovl
denco nnd argument In order to be
able to Judge cases intelligently nnd
pass upon them honestly, should be
a sufficient answer to .tho reckless,
unwarranted and untruthful assertion
contained In tho statement signed by
11 membors of tho commltteo tow of
whom did not attend sessions of tho
committee, did not hear any of the
evidence presented and nearly all of
whom indicated their bias by voting
In every enso for the del ' 3 known
to bo favorable to Mr. Rooseve''
eluding numerous cases In which tv'
action of tho national commltteo had
been unanimous for tho Taft dele
gates." As appendices tho statement carrir
tho majority and minority reports of
the credentials committee on each o
tho contests.

! WASTEFUL lOTIOH
I The causo' of seeped or oversatur
'ated land Is tho waste from Irrigation
'and lenkago from canals and laterals.
I Tho skillful Irrigator may Insist that
If no moro water Is applied t
needed for growing and maturing the
crops, and It the canals are so con
ducted (hat no substantial amount
of water escapes into the earth, no
land will become too wet for farm
ing purposes. It is truo that In many
Instances Irrigators have been unduly
prodigal In the uso of water, particu
larly when the land Is first subdued
and watered. The art of economical
Irrigation Is usually learned only
iiuu Bvurcuy ui wuier vuiupeiB n
less lavish use.
In any event, under present mcth
ods some waste of water will occur
under tho best of management, mak
ing drainage in many places essential
to profitable farming. Water which
produces permanent saturation rUcs
'lm the bottom of tho saturated soil
toward thq Suriace. Waste" from Ir
rigation flrst passes downward until
a hard stratum of Garth Is reached.
This may bo only fc few feet, in whkh
case the additions which accfue from
tho Irrigation of a tew years will
bring tho permanent ground wnter
level to wlthlll two or three feet of
the surface, ht which time Injury to
farm crop3 "will ensue. It Is not the
downward movement of water alone
which occasions boggy or wet areas,
but the lateral movement of ground
water down a slope until a flat tract
or surface depression checks tho flow
and causes an accumulation of watci
which Is mado known by its appear
ance, but not until the lower parts of
tho soli have been filled.
Such depressions or level nreas rc
celvo tho accumulated waste water
proceeding from adjoining lands
which occupy a higher level. It will
be seen that the saturated condition
of the land which shows injury Is not
due to the water which Is applied di
rectly to Irrigate It, but to the sur
plus which percolates from tho high
er lands sometimes through consider
able distances, until It reaches tho
lower flat or depression, and Colorado
now has a law providing for tho or
ganlzatlon of drainage dlst a
which the expense of putting In the
drains Is borne by the entire acreage.
Drainage has been carried on In the
west to such an extent that certain
methods are now practiced with rea
sonable assurance of success. The
development along this lino which has
taken placo during the last five years
Is most encouraging to holders of
seeped land. Utah Farmer.
HOI TO TELL THE
JBEOf II HORSE
It Is from birth to tho age of eight
years that, from tho conditions of the
dark cavities called "marks" In the
table of tho Incisors or front teeth,
we can tell the age of a horse. The
lower Incisors are tho ones to bo ex
amined, as the cavities are better
marked than tho cavities In the upper
Incisors.
At birth tho foal has two central
Incisor teeth above, and two below;
If not through the gums at birth they
will make their appearance during the
flrst month. Thero aro also three
temporary molar teeth on each side
of both upper and lower Jaw. At six
weeks old, ono Incisor on each side
of tho two central appears, and then
.time Is allowed for tho Jaws to grow,
and at nine months old, tho corner
Incisors protrude, and gradually grow
until tho foal Is one year old, then It
nas n tun mourn oi lempurary mcits
or teeth. Little can bo seen boyond
tho wearing down of tho temporary
Incisors and the protrusion through
tho gums of the fourth molar teeth,
one ou each Mdu of the upper and
lower Jow. These teeth aro perma
nent. At from ono year and nine months
to two years old, the worn a".cct of
tho Incisors Indicates the approaching
displacement of the central Incisors,
and .the fifth molar protrudes through,
tho gu'ni3. At about two years and
nlno months, the temporary central
Incisors drop out and aro replaced by
the permanent ones, which aro readi
ly distinguished by their slzo and
yellowish color of the enamel, and
aro more or less grooved, while the
temporary teeth are pearly white.
When tho colt Is about four years old,
tho mlddlo Incisors drop out nnd are
replaced by permanent ones At this
ngo, the sixth molar tooth advances
through the gums, and by this tlmo
tho threo temporary molar teoth, no
ticed at birth, hnvo given way to per
manent ones.
At about 11 vo year old tho cornr
Incisors are replaced by pcrmant nt
ones and nt this ago tho horse hn
a full mouth of teeth. It will bo no
ticed that the outer edge of the per
manent Incisors Is a llttlo longer thnn'
tho Inner, nnd tho cavities or cups
are not complete, but In tho course
of a few months tho Inner edge grad
ually grows down, and begins to wca
forming a complete cup, and when
the horse Is five years old, tho whole
of the Incisors are In full wear, and
Indicate the extent to which they
havo been worn proportionate to thq
period since they camo through thi
gums, whereas the corner ones, hav
ing Just protruded, aro shallow; that
Is, tho Inner edge of tho tooth has
not grown up, which gives tho tootr
a shallow appearance. Ueforo the
animal reaches the age of six, the In
ner edge of the corner incisors has
grown and forms a complcto cup.
At six years, tho central incisors
lose their cup or mark; at seven,
this occurs with the mlddlo ones; and
at eight, all tho cavities or cups are
worn out, and the plato or wearing
surface of the teeth Is smooth, and
there are only slight, dark marks In
the corner Incisors. Beyond this age
It Is difficult to tell tho exact age of
the horse by Its teeth. As the ani
mal btqws older tho incisor teeth pro
jtrudo stralghtcr from the Jaw and
their wearlnR BiivlAW W.lllll'SS a trl
nhmilar form. In tho horse, the
tushes nppear through tho gums be
tween three nnd four years of age,
but as they vary verv -mc-h In Blze
nnd shape, they do not Indicate any
thing as regards tho age of tho horso.
Mares, as a rule, have no tushes.
If one wants to become an expert
In telling tho age of a horse, it will
bo necessary to examine the teeth of
colts and horses, whose ages one
knows, and compare the teeth with
the description given In this article,
and by doing so a number of times
the eye will become accustomed to
the shape and appearance of the
teeth at tho different ages. Utah
