This is feasible and practical and Is well worth the expenditure of the money and effort as must be conceded "from the economic standpoint alone. Computing the value of time lost, expenses of sickne;s. etc., each case represents a loss of $200. The productive value of u, life at the usual typhoid age Is estimated by statisticians at $5000.

The interstate commerce commission asserted in its gatefindings that the keeping of" thevolume way open would mean a greater of traffic for the Oregon Short Line.

Smith, stato superintendent of weights and measures, has been conducting an investigation of deliveries Which has been prepared in report form. Prosecutions are beins considered in cases where weights are being found short and the shortage is outside of a reasonable variation. The report extends from November 23 to December 3. Altogether 13 loads delivered by thirteen companies were inspected. Of 5 these 21 Avere short from ranging pounds to 690 pound- -' fourteen loads were overweight, ranging from 5 fo 200 pounds. Four loads balanced and it was impossible just to estimate one because in delivering 500 pounds had been thrown ofX bv guess. Mr. Smith was assisted in the inspection by C. E. Condie and P. W. Salmon, state sealers, and T. L. Irvine sealer of city and measures. To remedy weights this condition of short Mr. weight, Smith, in addition to the prosecutions contemplated and the which he publicity will causa the companies to bebelieves more careful in the future, has adopted a policv, some points of which will be merely recommendations, while others will "be insisted upon. Finds Fault in Scales. In the first place the use of shorter platform scales, those upon which it i impossible for the horses to stand, is Tho long scales so strongly urged. use in Salt generallythein horses Lake, onwhich to stand permit the platform, in the opinion of the state sealer of weights and measures, are responsible- for much of the discrepancy existing.- He cites the fact that horse?, working and sweating, vary greatly in before and after being: perweight mitted to drink large quantities of water. The department next is going to insist that the of the wagon be taken before weight and after loading each delivery. The custom has been to weigh the wagons weekly. This has caused much discrepancy, it is said, because the drivers, by numbers, not infrequentlyworking lose either numbers or get them mixed or their take out the wrong wagon. Strict enforcement of section 20 of the regulations governing the sale of coal, coke and charcoal has been ordered. This clause has been more honored in the breach than in the observance, it is said. Verify Delivery. The chief point on which the deinsists is that each partment must be accompanied by delivervdeliverv ticket in duplicate in indelible carrying marking the gross weight by pounds, "tare of delivery vehicle, quantities contained, with the name of the purchaser. "We are not satisfied with the wido variation in weights of coal being delivered by Salt Lake companies this winter," said Mr. Smith Now is the time to check anyyesterday. tendency toward shortage. Of course the com"What's the say, difference if panies we strike a average, even if one delivery isgeneral pounds short while another is fiftyfifty over."
