Dragsted, were held at the First Ward Chapel, Saturday, July 14, with Bp. Me. Bride presiding. The ward choir, under the direction of chorister A. J. Petersen furnished appropriate singing. Opening prayer was offered by Bp. Nicholi Jorgensen of the Third Ward. The speakers were, Elders Lars Petersen and F. Olsen, with closing remarks by Bp. L. D. McBride. The remarks throughout were consoling, and eulogistic of the patient and uncomplaining life of the deceased who had been a great sufferer for many years. In thirty years, she had been in the center of town but once. She had been a widow nearly 50 years. Her only surviving child, Mr. Hans Dragsted, who lives in the State of Washington was present. Sisters Lettie Sorensen Goddard, and Sister Lizzie Lemon rendered a beautiful duet. Elder Charles Sorensen pronounced the benediction. At the cemetery the grave was dedicated by L- P. Christiansen. Friends and relatives contributed a profusion of beautiful .flow- ers.

All avenues are named for the various states, Pennsylvania avenue leading direct from the Capitol to the White House, being celebrated the world over. At the time the government mov ed bag and baggage from Philadelphia, to take up its permanent residence in Washington in 1800, there were only two houses between the Capitol and the White House. The whole thing came over in ne small sloop. . The government employees, all men, numbered 136, and annual disbursements for all purposes were $137,000. Practically all the great Government Departments found ample room for their activities in and Secretary houses, private Hughes, predecessor of that day could almost carry all his papers in his hat. Even after Washington was fixed as the official Gapital of the Nation, there was continuous agitation for its removal to some older city and the numerous advocates of this were popularly called Capital This and the difficulty In Movers. raising the necessary funds greatly retarded the growth of the city and up to the time of, the Civil War it was but little more than an overgrown sleepy village, and in fact its metropolitan growth did not begin until 1871, under Boss Shepherd This will be as he was ealled. treated of in a later sketch of Government Departments. aa-tio- n cent vista two blocks in width and M.

Prof. by Fatlambs of proper weight sell for more money than thin, light lambs. The average Utah lamb as he leaves the range is too light and too thin to top the market. Some of our lambs do reach the market with enough flesh and weight. However, the average Utah lamb taking large and 6mall, young and old, and fat and thin will probably not weigh over 60 pounds. To grade choice they should be fat and weigh on the market 80 to will mean a 85 pounds. This weight around 90 pounds in the feed lot. In the past most of Utah lambs have been sent to other states to have that extra 30 pounds of weight put on them. This is not necessary, however, if Utah feeds and Utah lambs are put together on Utah farms. It is probable that Utah will have in the neighborhood of 950.000 lambs to market this year. Thirty pounds added to the weight of each one would make a total increase of 28,- 500.000 pounds of lamb meat. At average prices the cost of feed to make this gain in the feed lot would be approximately A $1,750,000. conservative estimate of the increased value of the lambs due to this feeding, on even lower prices than prevailed last year, would be f to $4,000,000. .At the lowest figure this weuld mean a profit above cost of feed of $1,750,000. or an increase of over $1.80 a head in the selling price of the average Utah lamb. This profit is above cost of feed. The operation would serve as a market for Utah feeds at going prices, the manure from the feeds could be returned to Utah land to increase its productivity, and approximately $1,- 750.000 would be made available for the farmers and Iamb growers of that state. The total benefits to the state seem to be well worth while. It is ' for the individual farmer and sheep man to decide if the profits involved are worth the effort of a little cooperation and forward planning. A million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars added to the present agricultural income of the state should lighten materially the much advertised tax burden of the farmers.
