Fighting the Frost.

Every spring some starts the old time sugges-
ton OF Sighting on late frost bv building small fires
through the orchard fruit field, says the Rural
New Yorker. Usually such persons argue that the
heat and smoke from these fires will keep off an or
binary frost. Many have tried the plan and failed,
but the California fruit growers have met with con-
siderable success, as learn from a paper read ct
recent convention The best results have been OBJ
tanned by burning damp smudge. Dry material
while giving of more actual heat has given good
results; but small fires Of damp straw stable ma
nure have actually saved several plantations In
some cases, bags of wet stable manure, weighing
about 100 pounds each, distributed through the
orchard When frost threatens, little kerosene is
poured on each sack and fired. The wet manure
burns slowly sending off large quantities OF moisture
In the form of vapor and it is this watery vapor
fog which prevents the frost Several machines have
been made for creating this artificial fog at will In
some OF them frames madeof chickenyard netting
mornted on wagons filed with wet manure or straw.
Under them pots of tar or petroleum are kept burn
ing, and the heat sends up cloud of moisture the
wagon is slowly hauled about the orchard Another
machine is a large tank with CRATE on the under
side This tank is filled with wet straw; fire burn;
underneath, kept to fierce heat by blast run by
gearing from the wheels pump and cask OF water
complete the outfit Water is continually pumped
upon the straw and the heat Of the fire porates
so that it forms over the orchard dense fog. Thi
machine is said to evaporate 100 gallons Of water IL
an hour Thus in many and In strange ways scienc,
is helping to feed and for plants vines
trees, well to protect them. With every new
and startling device, one may well ask: What next?

to the surface and revealing the true
There is no question of doubt but ex-
Senator Dubois was the controlling
influence in every move that was
made, ordering his pliable tools to do
this and do that just as skillful
player OF chess moves h s pawns from
square to square. Here was an un-
crowned king, with slaves and tools
at his beck and call, many of them
taking, AMI successfully too, the part
of the kings fool,
Twas not theirs to reason why,
Twas theirs but to do and die"
AT 5 o'clock in the morning of the
day when the famous message was
sent to Washington protesting against
the seating of Senator Heitfeld, Rep
resentative Black and Senator Turner
went to the residence of Representa-
tive johnson of Boise city, arousing
him from bed and urging and beg
ging for his signature to the telegram
stating that Dubois had Just tele-
graphed them that if such protest
could be sent he could prevent the
seating of Heitfeld. This was the
same night that signature was Sc
cured from one man while he was in a
condition of drunken imbecility ant
knew not what be did or what he wal
signing.
Add to these revelations the furthe
fact that JONES was in constant com
munication with Dubois leading lieu
tenants both before and after the max
ing OF that historical affidavit-that il
mortal fear OF his outraged constitu
ency he begged John Condron to sen,

HeitfeId's CIawhammer Coat.

1t is said that Senator Heitfed Of
Idaho never owned or wore dress
suit before he was elected United States
Senator, but that so soon he was cleo
ted he had dress suit made. Some
papers are trying to bring the Senator
into ridicule because of this fact and
to use him as a butt for their coarse
railcry.
Senator Heitleld explained that he
ordered his dress suit because he was
going to Washington and he pre-
sumed he would need it there. Like II
man of good common sense he re-
marked that to appear in Washington
in business suit on those occasions
where gentlemen are expected to APP
pear in dress suit would be to make
himself conspicuous and an object of
unfavorable comment. That explana-
ton showed the innate gentleman. 1t
showed due Difference for the social
ways OF those among whom he was
going-it showed very high regard
and respect for the State which he was
to represent. When a man has such
sense OF the eternal fitness of things
as Idaho's new senator evinced in this
matter of dress, it is very good evil
dence that he will have a pretty good
idea Of the fitness Of other things. 1t
shows that he has adaptability, and
that is among the first requisites to a
successful career at Washipgton-it is
the putt ng in practice the precept &c
do in Rome as the Romans do. Fol-
| the Idaho senator to have done other
wise would have been for him to have
subjected his State to an unjust criti-
cism The coat does not make the
man, but man who represents state
at Washington should know what
coat to wear on what occasious--and
Senator Heitfeld has shown that he
has this knowledge.-Salt Lake Her

VANDERBILTS WANT IT
E1ger to Gain Control of the
Union Pacific.
Would Also Be Willing, it is Said,
to Take in the Central Pacific,
and Thereby Get a Through
Route to the Coast.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Herald says:
Reports were in circulation last night
that the Union Pacific reorganization
committee, having now within its con-
troll nearly all of theabonds and stocks
of the company by means OF the agree
ment under which they were deposited,
are ready to bid fair sum for the
road from Omaha to Ogden. The pro-
gramme is said TO he TO take UP the
government bonds on both the Union
and Central Pacific roads, so as to give
them a through line 10 the coast. Ac-
cording TO the report the support of
the Vanderbilts and j. Pierpont Nor
gan is expected to be obtained. In fact,
if it is carried out, they may head the
syndicate that furnishes the necessary
capital, for thereby the Vanderbilt
roads would secure a through line from
Omaha to San Francisco. This would
give a continuous system from Boston
and New York To TIE Pacific coast,
and it would constitute the strongest
system in the country.
The VanderbiltS are said to be really
in earnest in their desire 10 absorb the
Pacific reads although when the report
was circulated a year ago it was de-
MED by Chauncey NJ. Depew and others
closely identified with the Vanderbilt
family.
No confirmation was obtainable last
night. but in the opinion of railroad
men the presence of two recognized
Vanderbilt men on the Union Pacific
reorganization committee is very sig
nificant.
According to Washington dispatches,
similar reports were in circulation there
last night about the plans of the Union
Pacific reorganization committee. and
the supposed intentions of Mr.. Morgan
and the Vanderbiits.
Washington adViceS stated that While
it is the intention of the president TO
make a vigorous effort to secure some
sort of settlement with these roads be-
fore March 4. Attorney-G General Har-
mon is not yet ready to institute fore
closure proceedings. Many facts re-
main to be gathered before the depart
ment can be assured of its ground,
such as information concerning the
titles to branch lines, terminals and
more particularly as to the prospect OF
there being a satisfactory bid for the
roads in case of a curb auction sale.
Meanwhile Mr.. Huntington is active in
Washington. He has not yet aban-
doned hope of securing some legisla-
ton at this session of congress, and
the understanding is that the commit
tee on Pacific railroads will at once
prepare bill containing Mr.. Hunting
tons second offer to the government.
Mr. Huntington is struggling to reach
some sort of a settlement that will
leave him in control of the Central Pa
cific and officials of the administra-
ton will not be surprised if, before Mr..
Cleveland goes out of office. he should
offer terms very favorab BILE to the gov
ernment

NEW MEXICO'S BILL.
Chances Are Meagre For It's Passage
This Session

Washington, Jan. 13.-There will be
a meeting tomorrow of the house COM
mittee on territories. Delegate Catron
of New Mexico is anxious that a quo
rum shall be in attendance, From pres
ent indications he will be disappointed,
as several members of the committee
are out of town, and two others will
leave in the morning. If there be a
quorum present, and it was to this end
that Mr.. Catron was laboring indus
favorable report on the New Mexico
a favora BILE report at tomorrow's meet
shall not become operative upon it's
in the future, at the pleasure of Presi-
dent. Mckinley. This, he thinks, will
obviate political objections which east
ern Republicans might entertain
against immediate admission 1t is
believed that the committee is op-
posed TO the measure, and that if ~
quorum be present Mr.. Catron will not
secure the favorable report he desires.
1t is an open secret that two Repub-
lican members of the committee. who
were personally opposed to the New
Mexico and other statehood bills last
session, but who voted to report them
tavorably. did so as a matter of po-
litical expediency. This pressure has
since been removed and it is now un-
derstood that both gentlemen will op-
pose the bill in committee
Under these circumstances there is
no probability of favorable action at
this session

SUIT MOST PECULIAR.
millionaire Rockefeller Figures rs
the Defendant.

the Defendant.
New York Jan. 13.-The trial of the
suit of the Baptist tabernacle against
Millionaire John D. Rockefeller to en-
force the conditions of an alleged con-
tract, by which it is said Mr.. Rookie
feller promised to give the church the
interest on a trust of $780, 900 to be
established by him and to yield an in
come of $500 a year was continued
yesterday in the supreme court and the
proceedings were made interesting by
the appearance of Mr.. Rockefeller as
a witness. Rockefeller in giving the
bonds or placing them in trust, gave
Northern Pacific land grants, that at
that time-1S91-paid 5 per cent in
terest Since 1893, however, the bonds
have paid no interest so the church
sues to recover $4,000 which it alleges
as to make it pay $500 for ten years.
the length of time the trust was to
run.
For Mr. Rockefeller, it is alleged
that he had the right to choose the
bonds which were to constitute the
trust, and that if the bonds deposited
do not bear interest now it is not the
fault of the defendant. DR.. Potter was
on the stand and identified a great
number of letters of Mr.. Rockefeller's.
leading to the formation of the trust
fund.
When Mr. Rockefeller took the stand
he said he had advanced considerable
money to the tabernacle. He had
many talks with DR.. Potter regarding
money matters, he declared, and the.
clergyman had tried to induce him to
advance $4,000 for the erection of d
building. He denied the allegation of
Dr. Potter.
