Hammond, mentlM'r of the house of representatives from Grand county is in a serious condition in a Balt Lake City hospital, his illness being due to a stomach ulcer. In order to give him atrength to withstand an operation for this trouble, nearly a quart of blood was taken from the veins of Mias. Temperance Shape of Ogden Wednesday morning and injected into his veins. The transfusion operation was aucceasful for the time being, physicians said but further transfusions are likely to be necessary before the more serious operation wbieh ia expected to follow. Miss Shape and Renator J. Will Knight have offered to submit to further blood sacrifice in order to sake the life of Ilamond, but it was said yesterday that another such operation may not be necessary for several days. A few hours after the transfusion Wednesday Hammond showed decided improvement, and his physicians were considerably encouraged. About thirty persons have offered their blood for the transfusions, but only that of Senator Knight and Miss Shupe have been found to be of the tyjte that would fuse with that of the patient. Others willing to make the sacrifice. are being sought. Hammond, who is the L.

' Study of the new ruling, official aid, lias disclosed that the theory of prohibition enforcement on which the internal revenue bureau haa been proceeding has been overthrown. The prohibition unit, officials explained, has worked on the theory that it jms sessed regulatory powers under the act which permit it to limit the use and distribution of intoxicants excepted by congress from the general ban. By the most rerent view, how- it would ever, officials explained, seem that this theory is denied. Regulations will have to be amended, officials said, as various rules heretofore promulgated by the bureau are nffeeted more or less directly by the opinion. Drafting of new regulations, which had been tentatively agreed ujKm before the opinion was received and which would have further restricted the distribution of intoxicants, have been halted. WOULD BOND FOR ROAD WORK ON COUNTY HIGHWAY It is qnite likely that a special election will be helif to determine whether Carbon county shall put out a bond issue of about $190,000 to cover the countys share of the expense of building the road from Price to Castle Gate. Such action was favored by the meeting held last Friday night on rail of Price Chamber of Commerce, at which the situation was pretty thoroughly gone over.

The career of one who waa ier-hap- s Utah's mut beloved man, was Jease Uncle ended Monday when Lome Knight passed away at hia An empire builder, a promoter of vast mining enterprises, a philantliniut, a good citizen, and a friend in the best sense of the word to thousands, his death is mourned by a large circle outside his family connection. Born at Nauvoo, 111, in 1845, Jesse Knight was almost 76 years old. His father, Newell Knight had charge of fifty teams in the flight across the Missouri river ut the time of the Mormon exodus in 1846, and during the winter following the hardships of that time, the father died leaving a family of six children of whom Jesse was the youngest, with the mother, Lydia Golwaite Knight. Along in 1850 the family completed the journey to Utah, their team being milch cow and an ox. At an early age Jesse started to assist the family, hauling wood at Ida eleventh year. Since 1857 the family Young has lived close to Provo. Knights first heivy employment was in his sixteenth year, with Benjamin Kolierts. Doing a mans work, he was given a mans wages, more than he hired out for, and with $300 thus accumulated he bonght a yoke of oxen and a wagon and enilmrked on bis business career. Freighting across the plains and up to Montana, serving in the Black Hawk war, buying and selling cattle, he finally became interested in the Tintic district, iu mine called the Humbug in derision by the oldtinien there. For many long years he and his boys worked this claim liefore reward came to them. He had married Amanda in 1869 and the wife shared the hardships of isolation and inconveniences incident to the development of the mine, putting the best twenty years of her life there. When the mine came into its own the Knights refused an offer of $110,000 for it. Uncle Jesse always liked big pioneering and developing projects, and was N)SMssed of the patience and determination necessary to carry them out.

NEW STATE DEPARTMENT IS READY TO OPERATE By signing the new department of agriculture bill Wednesday, Governor M alcy puts into effect the law creating one department and abolishing four former boards, these being the state lire stock commission, the crops and pesta commission, the dairy and food commission and the state insiieetor of apiaries. As soon as the governor, shall appoint a commission and a board for the new department, the new order of affairs will be under way, as the bill provides that the appropriations of the 1919 legialature for the old functionaries shall become available for the new. The new state department of agriculture will have ail the towers of the four boards which are taken over by it, and some additional powers under the new law. Incidentally, in amending the statutes with regard to the activities of the various boards, commiaaions and bureaus whose duties are assumed by the new board, the legislature wrote into the statutes of the state new provisions with regard to iinqtection of marks and brands and of hides; made all stock yards quarantined arena; gave to the sheriffs of the counties the duty of enforcing the crops and tests law, with the assistance of the county agents when called upon, in identifying pests; and finally required the registration of all colonies of bees in the state with the idea of killing the foul brood. The consolidation of the various boards and offices of the state affecting farmers, fruit growers and stockmen has long lieen sought by various arsons interested in legislation, and bills to that effect have before been introduced. This is the first time, however that conflicting opinions of the agriculturists bffre been so far reconciled aa to make it possible to give the plan a chance. Great hntes are expressed by those in favor of the bill as to the result it will have on the agricultural future of the state. The will of the late Prejident An tlion II.
