Deep freezing is always helpful to the

no implement manufactured by mau can
possibly do. 1t il the very best disinte-
orator. It opens up the soil deeper than
amy Of u plows Or ~cultivat1rs reach,
and, without the snow, leaves our lands
in much better condition to resist
drougats, rendering it open 70 attnos-

ure, aud more easily cultivated. The
desper the freezing the wider is the
range for plant r~ootIets that 20 out in

est ~aayantage there il in fall blowing
for spring crops is that By turning over
and Iooseni1g the soil weputsit il shape
to freeze deeper, and to become thor
oughly disinte2rated, and in carly spring
we find it cultivates as nice and fine as
an ash heap, and always resists drought
much better than lands pioWed in the

It is astonishing how much water soil
will absorb and retain that has been
deeply frozen in winter. After the mild
winter the soil is packed and spring
rains are all carried away. It is also ID

small amount of ammonia they absorb

Some Queer Comparisons Proposed to the Han

Sorely Tried.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

FRESNO. Oct. 25.-The same crowd which
has assembled in Judge Holmes court at
the trial of George Sontag was present this
morning. The cross-examination of En-
gineer Phipps was continu ued.
The cross-examination was rigid. but no
new testimony was elicited. Witness Phipps
was not so positive about the facts testified
to yesterday.
He identified the clothes found in Son.
tags trunk as being OF the same material
as those worn by the robber.
The witness said he was not sure that he
had told reporter on the night of the rob
berry that he saw the robbers get on the
engine. but he may have done so.
He acknow lodged that he could not tell
the weight Of the man who boarded his en-
gine on the night OF the robbery within
twenty or thirty pounds, not being an ex-
pert He also cnntI ad eted himself in re-
gard to the clothing worn by the robbers
Rather queer comparisons to aid in the
Identification were then made. Z. d. Vogel-
sang, n 200-pound constable from Huron,
was requested by District Attorney
to stand in front OF the witness, and Phipps
was asked whether the robber was about
his size. He said that he was not so stout.
AS the alleged robber WAS In court IL was
not difficult for Phipps to arrive at that
conclusion.
Charles E. Babb, the next witness, was
on the engine on the night of the robbery.
His testimony regarding the robbery was
about the same as that of PhippS.

SIGNAL SERVICE WORK.
What Has Been Accom- mplishsd by the Corps
Last Year

Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-Geueral A. w.
Greely, chief signal officer. in his annual
report dwells at length upon the value of
900 miles Of military telegraph lines which
have successfully been maintained during
the year by the signal corps. As an In
stance he cites the use of the line to Fort
Kinney during the cattle war In Wyoming
and of the line between Forts Brown and
Ringgold in Texas during the CARA trou-
bes. With an eye to the demands of mod
ern warfare, special attention is given to
the equipment of field telegraph trains for
armies operating away from permanent tel
egrapb lines
The field kit. wherewith moving line
can keep in communication with brigade
or division commander, has been satisfac-
torily developed A balloon section is being
organized with each field telegraph train to
operate captive balloon to collect military
information and transmit 1T to the ground by
telephone cable. The heliograph has been
perfected so that messages may be sent dis
tances ranging from 60 to 100 miles. The
obvious advantage arising from concerted
action In harbor defenses has led General
Greedy to submit special estimate of
and connecting lines in New York, Boston
and San Francisco. A simple system of
whistle signals, based on service
code. has been devised for the trans
mission OF orders to troops in extended or
open formation, and is now under consid-
Grafton. In conclusion General Greedy
speaks encouragtngly of the growing inter-
est in signal work manifested by the militia
Of the United States. and suggests that the
militia act be amended so as to permit
signal stores to be issued to State guards

Annual Report Of Governor Thomas on the
State OF the Territory


WASHINGTON, Oct. 25-Artkur L. Thomas,
Governor of Utah, in his annual report 10
the Secretary Of the Interior, says that
polygamy in the Territory is on the decline.
He says he does not believe that any
polygamous marriages have taken place
during the past year with consent or per-
mission of the Mormon leaders, and bis
conviction is that there is a sin
eere intention on the part of the
N ormon people not 10 approve or
sanction polygamOus marriages in the fu-
ture. He says it is to be regretted that the
sincerity OF the whole people, who are seek
ing { o accomplish great reform. should be
placed under suspicion by the acts Of few.
but such is the case. 1t is sure 10 be sUme
time, and may be years, before the practice
of unlawful marriages will entirely cease.
In regard TO the admission of Utah as a
State, Governor Thomas says: 1t is my
opinion, that having due consideration Tor
the wishes and feelings Of all. that between
the two great elements Of tile population,
Mormon and nom Mormon, a sympathy of
feeling and harmony OF purpose does
not exist which 10 so essential to the pros
perity and happiness Of the people under

of the matter, Rea said that he
had investigated the matter and was
convinced that Cleveland's vetoes were
based upon the principles of right and JUS
